Connect the Dots

Upside down and Inside out

Adrien's POV

I noticed that Marinette was coming to school way later than usual. I mean, she's always late but still. No one should be missing three whole periods of school every day without a good reason.

Also, to top it all off, she has scars. And I mean she has alot of them. I tried not to think much of it but today that all changed. There was a huge scar right on her cheek.

That's when I realized that there was someone else I knew who had the same scar in the exact same place.

Flashback music

"Chat! I think the akuma is in her sash! How on earth are we gonna get it off?"

We were fighting a girl scout reject. She went to her first brownies meeting but all the girls made fun of her because her sash looked funny.

"Don't worry M'Lady. Leave it to me," I said as an idea came to mind.

I was going to find a way to tire her out. I remembered she was only 5 so I knew this would work. But then I remembered she was 5.

Just as I remembered this, it was too late. She had jumped on Ladybug and started scratching her up. She left a huge scar on her cheek.

When I finally pulled her off of Ladybug, she was so tired that she passed out. I ripped off her sash and watched as Ladybug purified the akuma and put everything back to normal. Everything except that scar.

It took me a while but I finally did it. I've found her. This whole time she was right next to me.

How could I have been so blind?
