If Only He Saved Her

Chapter 3: The Mournful Morning

Lets make our mornings special by clicking that star ;)!

Adrien's Pov-------------------

The room was dim, with only so many candles to brightened the dark room I sat by my fathers side. I ran home after the fair to tell my father about my  feelings toward my best friend, Marinette.

When I reached home I found him father lying in bed, paler than porcelien skinned Marinette, weak and tired. Its been been two weeks since I saw my father with the disease, no one knew what it was but it was slowly draining him. I over heard a conversation between Felix and Father,

"You know that I am slowly going away, you are the heir to the throne. I am depending on you, make the right choices for our line to continue, for the kingdom, for the people in the kingdom that will supoport you, and for Adrien."

"Yes father, I will do my best to make this kingdom strong when you are gone."

"Good."

Later that day...

I sat in the garden, twisting a branch of cypress (piture above),thinking that the last family member that ever loved me will pass away, and I barely get to see him. Felix could care less about me, Felix wanted nothing to do with me, he considered the me a nuisance. But I accepted that, I had another wish, to be the captain of the French army. I wanted to fight for my kingdom,for Father, for Mother, for Marinette.

Marinette. Oh, the fair was one of the best times with my best friend. Well, that changed the day, I felt something for her.

I noticed she stopped listening to my story of the black cat that crossed my path that morning, the cat distracted me from going back to the fair. But I started to stutter from watching the girl space out,mesmerized by her beautiful blue eyes,her soft, slowly blushing white skin, her kind smile, her hair so black that it appeared blue. Everything about her was perfect, but I guess I can't share or tell anyone my feeling becuase I was royalty. No one ever loved someone in the lowest rank. But what would Marinette think of me? Would she hate me for liking her, no not liking, loving. What would Father thin-

"Hi Adrien." Marinette waved and sat by me, she leaned forward to see my face clearer, but it was filled with sorrow as I thought about my father.

"Oh, hi Marinette."

Silent. It was quiet for too long. She would get suspicious and I didn't feel like telling her about Father dying.

"How's your parents and the bakery."

"Oh, um m-my parents are doing bell --gah-Imean- well! And the bakery..."

I didn't hear the rest. The I placed my head in my hands and quietly sobbed. I thought about her two amazing, loving,and generous parents. As I sobbed I felt her rubb my back, Marinette then embraced the me, I didn't want her to let go. She wispered into my ear, giving me chills.

"I already heard the news Adrien, I am so sorry. I didn't want to say anything, I brought you this." Something slid onto my lap.

"See you later, Adrien." She walked away.

Marinette Pov-----------------

Poor Adrien! I couldn't believe that his father was dying, it was bad enough his mother disapeared and Felix hating him now this! I brought him my favorite and most prized handkercheif with 2 croissants and a letter that read:

                  Dearest Adrien,

I heard the news and I am so sorry for your soon to be loss. If there is anything I can do to help you cheer up, let me know. Felix is going to be king, isn't he? Arien, you need to show him that you love him or you and Felix will become distant. We do not know what he will do as king but to put all our trust on him. I know that you are willing to be there for anyone, even Chloe! So be there for Felix because he is going to need you. He may seem that he is not bothered by the fact the your father is ill, but he is afraid. All people are afraid to be someone they are not prepared for. Even if they have to do alone without anyone to guide them. To help build the bridge between you and your brother, take these croissants and share them with Felix. Talk to him and try to get along, it will help you in your sorrow to talk to someone that is sharing the same pain as you.

                                    Love,

                                            Marinettte

I wanted to stay and comfort him longer but I have my own duties as a baker's daughter. Adrien was so sad, he has lived through so much and mourning with Felix and taking down the wall that separated them both. I hoped that Adrien would listen to my advice....

I snapped my head to the village, my eyes widened as a cloud of smoke rose from the village and the sound of screams escaping the fire. Instead of running to the castle, I ran to the fire.

People were running screaming as they were being beaten...but by who? The smoke was too thick to see who the attackers were. I saw a cloud that was darker than the smoke flying above me, butterflies? Butterflies only show up when....

Don't these belong to...Papillon! Pirates! Oh no! I need to warn Adrien befo-

Two large hands grabbed me and tried to drag me away.

"Adrien! Hel-" The hands covered my mouth, I tried my hardest to fight the hands. But the grip was too strong for me, unless...

"Arggh!" One of the hands released its grip from my mouth after biting him and slapped me across the face. The he shoved me to the ground, I turned to face the person who slapped me to see it was a pirate with an eye patch, stitched on the patch was a purple butterfly. So they were Papillon's pirates.

Adrien Pov--------------------

I heard screaming and saw smoke coming from outside the castle walls. I jumped up and ran past any guards that blocked my way.

"Adriennn!!! Hel--"

"Marientte!!" I heard her scream and ran past the guards to see the village being plundered and burnt.

My friend was being dragged away from her family by a pirate, and they weren't going to take my princess any farther. Pulling my new and recently sharpened sword(not a stick) and prepared to leap on the pirates back. But this pirate was aware and turned around quickly, Marinette cried out in pain when the pirate turned. He shoved her to another pirate who carried her away, so much for trying to atta-

The pirate caught me off guard and thrust his sword for my chest, but I dodged the strike. I kept watch on Marinette while fighting the pirate, I finally was able to hit his sword out of his hand and cut his leg.

"Marinette!!!"

"Adrien!!! Hellppp!!!"

I reached for her hand that was free, but it was too late, with the guards tackling me to hold me back I watched as the pirates took Marinette and other children aboard the Akuma.

Tears poured down my cheeks, struggling against the guards,knowing that Marinette would never come back. My princess. What could I do? I heard the calls from Marinette's parents from behind, they wailed and begged for their only child to come back.

With my father dying, my brother taking the kingdom, the village in flames, the fallen on the ground, my only friends on the pirate ship sailing away, and Marinette taken from my side I gave up struggling against the guards.

Why was this morning filled with mourning? Why did they have to take her? Why not me? What if they kill her? If anything they should have taken me, there was nothing left for me here. No, Marinette was my everything and I was determined to get her back, and I will risk everything for her to come back.

That day will come, I know it. That is a promise. To myself, to Marinette's parents, to Father, to Mother, to Felix, to Nino, to Alya, to Marinette. There was only one way to fight for that promise, the French army.

Yessss!!! The longest chapter I have ever written on the history of my stories!!!!
