New Villain in Town ~MariChat~

Chapter 3 ~The Accident~

Marinette's POV

"Hush...you're alright...my Princess" is what they said. That voice, I've heard it before. It's so familiar. I looked up, seeing Chat in front of me with worried eyes. Then he hugged me tight. It took me a second to process everything, then I hugged back, as if I'm holding on to my life. Then we parted the hug.

"H-how d-did you f-find me?" I stuttered, wiping tears from my eyes. "Well, your dad got worried and called the police. Then I heard you were missing, so I had to find my Princess, Princess." "It was very thoughtful of you, thank you Kitty." "Anytime. Now we got to take you home. How did you manage to come this far?" "What?" I was confused on what he said. "We're on the other side of Paris right now, how'd you manage to run this far?" "R-really? Oh, I didn't notice. I guess you could say I wasn't thinking straight, I just ran." "That's really dangerous, you could've got hit by a car. Don't ever do this ever again, you hear me?" "Yes, Chat." "Come on, let's get you home." He picked me up in bridal style and jumped up roof to roof and started running. He tried to be gentle as possible, so I wouldn't be uncomfortable, how thoughtful of him.

What felt like forever, only lasted 10 minutes. We were now in front of the bakery and Chat had put me down. Then he opened the door. "Thanks Kitty!" "Ladies first." He did a little bow and let me him first, what a dork he is. Then I saw my dad behind the counter, slumped back in his chair, looking depressed. "Hey papa." I said quietly. He looked up immediately, rushed over to me and hugged me. "Don't ever run off like that you hear me?" "Yes, papa." He pulled away from the hug, then he saw Chat. "Chat Noir! Were you the one that found my daughter?" Looking back at me. "Yes sir." Replied Chat. "Thank you, thank you so much!" "You're welcome! Anyways I better get going." "Thank you, again." "No problem, bye Mr. Dupain-Cheng, bye Marinette!" He gave a wink and a smirk before he left. Funny, he called me Marinette in front of my dad, while he calls me "Princess" when we're alone.

"I'm going to go to my room to rest, papa." "Alright Marinette, but please don't ever run off like that ever again." "Don't worry I won't." After that, I headed upstairs. Once I got in I saw a familiar cat sitting on my pink chaise.

"Chat, what are you doing here? I thought you left." "I just wanted to make sure my Princess is alright." He said in a flirty tone. "You just saw me a minute ago." "Yeah I know, but I just wanted to see you, again." "Whatever." I rolled my eyes. "So Princess, why'd you run away like that?" Tears started pouring from my eyes. "M-my mother... S-s-she... D-died in a-a c-car a-accident t-today... S-she got r-ran over b-by someone t-that was t-texting o-n their p-phone..." I managed to squeak out. "Awe Princess..." Said Chat in pity. He leaned forward and hugged me. I hugged back. "A-and n-now, I-I don't know w-what to d-do." I said crying I his shoulder. "I'm sure things will eventually be alright." "P-promise?" "Promise." "T-thank you Chat." "Any times Princess." We brief away from the hug.

Then we heard footsteps coming from downstairs coming to my room. It's my dad! "Chat hide! My dad is coming!" I whisper-yelled at him. He swiftly hid in my closet, and as soon as he did, my dad got into my room. "Hey papa." "Hello Marinette, I just wanted to check up on you." Oh ok, well, I'm fine." "I know, it's just-" I cut him off. "Yeah, yeah, you want to am check up on my because you're worried, I know." "Thanks for understanding, well I'm going back downstairs." "Bye papa."

Once papa was completely down, I locked my trapdoor and told Chat to come out. "Y-you should get going now..." I said quietly to him. "Awe, but Princess, I just got here not to long ago!" "You saw what it's happened! My dad will be checking on me every 10 minutes or so. And I can't get risk getting caught! He'll ask questions, lots of questions." "Alright, fine I'll go. But I will be back tomorrow. Bye Princess." He did a wink before jumping out.

To get my emotions out, I started sketching in my sketch book. Then later I had a phone call, I picked it up. Then I dropped it in horror of what I just heard. Tears started to form in my eyes again. I wish I didn't kick out that alley cat, I really, really need him now.

Earlier that day

Nino's POV
Marinette was mad at Alya and Alya was mad at Marinette. Alya tried to apologies, but Marinette wasn't having any of it, she completely ignored her. Then later on that day Marinette was sent to the principal's office for some unknown reason. I didn't think much of it, so I ignored it. Once school ended, Marinette didn't come back from class, something probably happened and she's at home right now. Adrien was really worried about her for some reason, so he didn't come with me and Alya to the café. It was nice hanging out with her alone without having Marinette and Adrien around. Cause every time, she'll just use me as an excuse to leave those two alone together. I have to say, they'll make a great couple!

When we were going back home, we decided to call a cab. Once we got in, the driver seemed a bit off somehow, but Alya didn't care. Then the driver started to talk,I could smell alcohol in his breath and it was really strong too. I asked the cab driver if I could get off, he parked us off. I told Alya that he was drunk, but she didn't believe me. I didn't want to argue with her because she already did with Marinette, so I left her be. Crossing my fingers and hope nothing wrong will happen.
I was too late, a huge crash sound was heard from behind.

I ran over to where the crash was and I was horrified. I knew that the driver was drunk, but I was too dumb to think that nothing bad will happen. I pushed some rubble away and tried to clear some smoke. Then I saw Alya laying on the ground, with blood dripping down her forehead. "Alya? Alya?! ALYA!!" Tears were running down my face. Then she finally opened her eyes, just slightly, so she could see him. "N-Nino, tell Marinette that I'm sorry i-if I don't m-make it..." She manages to say, but it was barely a whisper, but I managed to hear her. "I will Alya, I will, but first we need to get you in the hospital." I said in full worry. I quickly took my phone out a call the police for an ambulance. Five minutes later, an ambulance finally got here and took Alya in it. I hopped in it to make sure she'll be alright.Once we were in the hospital, everything happened too quickly, but I followed behind. The doctors wouldn't let me in her room, so I waited at the entrance. Then I decided to call Marinette and tell her about the news.

"A-Alya's in the hospital ..." I said. Then I heard her drop her phone and I heard her crying. "I-I'll be t-there a-as s-soon as I c-can." She squeaked out. "Ok, I'll call Adrien about this too." Ten minutes later, both Adrien and Marinette was now in the waiting room waiting for a response from the doctor.
I swore the next words from the doctor sent Marinette running towards Ayla's room in tears. I followed behind with Adrien. I saw Marinette holding Alya's hand sobbing.
"I-I'm sorry Alya"
I stood at the doorway with Adrien as everything unfolds.

[A/N oooooooh! Will Alya make it? Or is she dead? I'm sorry not sorry😂 but you'll have to wait till next time.]
