Lucky Witch Magic

Nickname

(A/N: What Tikki looks like up above, but with blue eyes.)
Marinette's POV
*Flashback*
"Good morning, Mari!" Tikki sweetly greets while perching herself on my shoulder.
"Mari?" I ask, adding a oak sampling in to the cauldron with the spell I was working on.
"I thought it would be a cute nickname for you!" She smiles, cheerfully.
"Awwwwe." I smile. "That's sweet Tikki!"
After adding mandrake plant to the boil, I stroke my cute little familiar's soft feathers. She leans into my touch, as he nudges her head against my cheek.
"Mari?"
"Yes Tikki?"
"What is it like to be human?" She asks, her blue eyes filled with curiosity.
"I'm a witch Tikki." I giggle. "I'm not human."
"You know what I mean."
I ponder the question for a bit. What does she mean?
"I can't give you a straight answer." I sigh. "It varies per person. But I have learned a few things."
"Like what?"
"In life, there is gain and lost. Trust and betrayal. Anything can, and will, happen." I explain. "You just have to be careful, especially with whom you give your trust."
"Oh." She says.
"But we don't have to worry!" I reassure her. "Because we got each other."
"I love you Mari!" She says, hugging my cheek with her soft wings.
"I love you too, Tikki....... Never change."
*End of Flashback*
"She used to call me that." I sod into Adrien's shoulder.
"Who?" He asks, stroking my hair with his hand.
"Tikki....." I whisper. "She was my familiar......b-before you."
"I'm sorry Mari." He whispers in my ear, trying to call me down. "Can you tell me what happened to her?"
"I-I think it's time I tell you why witch's have familiars."
