If Only He Saved Her

Chapter 14: I Love Him?

You know what I love? Oh...you know by now 😉🌠

Ladybug's POV---------

The crew used our captives to practice our powers on-we nearly wiped them all out-we have grown stronger.

Papillon sent an akuma to give more plans and updates. We have been ordered to meet the crew by the ports in front of the castle, Lady Wifi and Volpina would create fog to block us as much as possible.  Hopefully the kingdom will not spot us and attack. This is our surprise gift to them, to dearest Adrien.

The other news came about two crew members Papillon said were beginning to rebel against him. Kim and Max, their pirate named Dark Cupid and Gamer, didn't survive.

Papillon said that Max was too smart. He realized something that the captain didn't want anyone to know, not even me.

They supposedly had "slipped of the boat", but I greatly doubt it. It must have been dirty work. If they were to kill those two, I would gladly take the opportunity to do so. Quite sadistic.

Currently the crew is enchanting our new army. However many resisted, they screamed and refused to let us work. Dear me, I found them too loud so with one swipe of my hand I hushed them all. The limp bodies fell to the dirt in unison.

The breeze brushed loose hair across my face. I pulled off my tiring boots and let my feet feel the soft grass. I sat on the edge of a wild river, I played with the waves with my power, a pink aura weaved through the white waters. 

I am growing stronger each day, stronger to kill Adrien. I want to see him suffer, I want him to beg for mercy on his knees before I slay him. He deserves it, how could I have loved him when he was so cruel to allow me to be separated from my family?

I hate him.

However, my thoughts are clouded by doubts, he may be good. These doubts come from my host, Marinette. 

I am her, Hawkmoth allowed me to use her body, yet she resists and fights me, what a strange girl. Doesn't she understand that what she is now is a privilege given by our leader.  

I don't quite understand why she doesn't want Adrien to die. 

Nevertheless, I won't let her win. I can't. She must stay under my control. She is under my protection, if she dies, I die. But if I die, she will take over and live in full control. To keep her soul from fading, I allow her some view to the outside world and limit her control over our body. I feel something cold run down our face. Strange girl. 

Maybe one day I'll let her have control over our voice, just for a few minutes. 

Anything

Marinette spoke from the dark corner of my mind as we switched back. 

I'd give anything to speak, to feel the grass, something, just for a few moments.

We'll see.

In the corner of my eye I spot red hair, cherry red hair.

"Apple?" He tossed a red apple in his hand, smirking.

"I thought you can't trust a pirate who gives you food. How do I know that it is not poison?" I asked.
