Miraculous Switch

Small Preview + AN

Time seems to pass by slowly as the two remained awake for the whole night. The image that they witnessed of the red glowing eyes in the hallway sped up their anxiety and worries about the traumatized victim. They were positive that there was someone was out there, in the shadows and waiting to strike again. They were like silent murderers, just waiting for the right moment and making their victims suffer as their emotions consume them. Full of anxiety and fear.

Adrienne and Marin drifted in and out of sleep, feeling restless and terrified as their thoughts consumed them. Even with the body guard outside, they still didn't feel safe. They knew how bad the situation was able to get when someone was under Hawkmoths control, and yet they both feel completely useless since neither Ladybeetle or Chat Noir was doing any investigating.

Adrienne rubbed her eyes, sighing and yawning almost every ten minutes as she laid there staring off into space. She was unable to sleep and it was now morning. The thoughts of the fashion show clouded her mind, how was she gonna be able to stay awake and hide her tiredness from last nights events? Her father would be upset if everything didn't go smoothly and she did not feel like she should make another argument with him again for the time being.

Plagg laid close enough to her face where every time she sucked in a breath, she was almost able to suck up Plagg and eat the little brat. She was annoyed by how close he was, but at the same time she was happy. Once she calmed herself, she smiled when she felt Plagg move closer to her and cuddling onto her cheek. What surprised her, was that he was purring silently in his sleep. He was like her tiny pet. In a way he is, but Plagg was still a friend to her.

Guess you're not so annoying after all huh... She thought.

She rubbed the kwami's head making him curl his tail around his body and snuggling closer. She giggled, feeling the touch of his fur against her cheek brush slightly giving her that tingling feeling. She couldn't believe how Plagg was able to sleep through everything, Then again, he didn't exactly feel stressed or worried about the situation that was at hand. The kwami had it easy only caring about his precious cheese.

On the other hand, Marin was sound asleep. He tried staying awake. Being awake for Adrienne's well being just in case something happened but he soon let the sleep consume him. Tikki was sleeping too, just slightly above the pillow his head was laying on. His dark hair messed up, spreading out in different ways and covering his face. He was in a very deep sleep.

"Plagg" Adrienne whispered to the small black cat, glancing over to see if Marin heard her. "Wake up" The tiny cat stirred in his sleep, nuzzling back onto her cheek. He refused to wake up. She sighed and gave up turning her back on him. Feeling around under her pillow, she found her phone. She remembered that she hasn't talked to Nina ever since she video chatted her with Marin. Turning it on she had text messages from Nina and a missed calls from Nathan. It was already late, being 10 in the morning and she assumed that her father's assistant wanted them both awake as early as 7.

Well, guess he just has to deal with it.
She didn't exactly wanna get up, afraid she might see something frightening like last night. She decided to message her best friend, feeling the guilt of not getting back to her and probably making the girl worry about her like crazy.

Nina: Hey girl how you doin?
Nina: Heard you got in a fight with your dad
Nina: You alright?
Nina: Do I have to go find you? :P

Adrienne smiled as she read the message she sent, Nina truly cared about her well being and she appreciated her concern.

Adrienne: Sorry for not answering, busy with stuff...

Of course she was busy, that wasn't a lie. Still, Adrienne felt ashamed. She should be able to tell her everything although she knew it was just as dangerous as giving up her identify as Chat. Who knows how many villains would go after her best friend. What then? What if she got hurt? She'd never forgive herself.
