Destined To Love You- An Adrienette Fanfic

Part Seventeen: Numberless Monsters

Just to remind you, the next chapter will have at least 10,000 words, it's as long as "Rebirth Of The Past (Special)" or like a regular Miraculous episode. It's because it has no Adrienette, alright? You can skip "Part Eighteen: Secrets and Lies" the next chapter after this one.

Marinette woke up and met up eyes of red and orange, she blinked, "Zariffe?"

"Oh, you're awake. Greeat.." he rolled his eyes in sarcasm, making Marinette growing an irk mark of irritation. "I almost thought you were dead. You were barely breathing."

"Would it kill you to be more nicer--?!" A spoonful of soup in a spoon (of course) was shoved inside her mouth, this grew her with irritation. She knew exactly who it is. I mean, who else was in the room?

"How about you? Would it kill you to shut up? Just because you're one of the Twin Hearts doesn't mean that I have to respect you," Zariffe crossed his legs as he stirred his tea. Marinette plucked the spoon out of her mouth after swallowing its liquid. "Don't expect any eloquence. I still hate you for taking action to Jarell Divell in vain, I can understand him dragging you there but why didn't you fight back?"

"I was afraid!"

"Even if you're afraid, you have nothing to do but defeat him. It's your duty, don't forget that. You and Adrien were the only ones there, simply, you two are the ones to take action."

"Well, how about you Guardians? Why didn't you do anything?"

"We got info from Abigail a bit too late. We knew exactly where Jarell brought so as we thought, he brought ypu to the Chamber of Darkness. Mizell's former base." Zariffe passed out a cup of tea to her, which she silently accepted.

"Beneath Guardian Headquarters AND the center of the earth? How is that possible?" She sipped a bit of her tea, but nearly choked because it was too hot. She got irritated more after she noticed Zariffe rolling his eyes, "How about Ara? Is she doing fine?"

"Hmm, Aracelie? Yeah, she's doing fine. Fully recovered in fact. She broke about three bones, but she's fine.." Zariffe said that a bit too nonchalantly which made Marinette spit out her tea, "Heey. What's up with people spitting on the carpet these days? This is Headquarters' Guardian rooms! This is where I live, I can't go back to my damn family!"

"Fine?! How is having broken bones fine?!"

"Well, how should I say this..?" Zariffe turned away, ignoring Marinette's determind stare. "She's a hybrid after all. She can heal herself in a jippy!" He raked back at Marinette who seemed to be fine right now. Still, he looked at her from head to toe. She had a small sum of bandages, but Adrien's were far worse. "You should be more careful. You have so much injuries, are you able to hold back?"

"Huh? Y-Yeah. I guess." Marinette held her upperarm, where a bandage wrapped around it was. She bit her lip, "Shouldn't you be visiting Ara?"

"Hmm, let me see.. no." Zariffe brusquely replied, "She'll just kick the hell out of me. Ara's weapons are boots, her kicks are beyond stronger than Jarell Divell's superhuman strength. Plus, she wouldn't want a thing ruining her life. Wrecking her every peaceful and immense desire."

"Yeah. No kidding." Zariffe lifted a brow in confusion as Marinette said, "That thing is a monster. It's a mass of destruction, it's nothing but an indestructable weapon." She was referring to Jarell, who was a pain to them. Once she lifted her head up, she witnessed Zariffe's cold expression. "Uhm, is there something wrong..?"

"That thing you're talking about is right in front of you."

"Huuh?! I-I thought we were talking about Jarell! I'm so sprry! I didn't know it was you--!"
