Marinette hear a bell ring when she opened the bakery door. Again an aroma fill her nose this time of lavender and vanilla. She spun around towards the direction of the stairs as she was procrastinating going to her room. She wish she could stay and enjoy the sweet aroma but she had homework to do. She noticed her mother staring and stopped mid spin, her mother giggled and went back to her work. Marinette stopped procrastinating and slowly walked up the stairs. She wish she could text her friend but Adrien had fencing practice and Alya had journalism club so she was alone.
She entered her room to do a bunch of Algebraic equations, short answers and reading assigned to her as homework. After an hour she was finished and went to check and her great grandmother, twas part of her usual schedule since mid school year. Before she was disorganized and her grade were showing it. Her parents got a call from her teachers that they wanted to talk about her. They talk about her often showing up late, not doing her homework and other problems. Marinette claimed it was because she fell asleep while doing her homework in the evening hours and she wouldn't wake up until after school starts. So now her parents made homework the first priority so she did it first thing when she got home, Her parents also woke her up before school started. Since then she has been a straight B student.
Marinette gently knocked on the door of the apartment next to her's and called Zumu. She liked her privacy so she often locked the door. A minute when by without a response to the knocking. She knocked again harder and the door slowly moved open a crack. She didn't hear a click meaning the door wasn't unlocked by her great grandmother.
"Zumu?" It was unlike her to be unresponsive she open the door slowly, she found her great grandmother in her wheel chair staring at like she did at the party. "Zumu I was calling you." There was still no response, Marinette creeped over shaking to her great grandmother "Zu zu, Zumu" she said in a shake voice. She knew what had happen but she didn't want to believe it.
"Zumu" tears started to form in her eyes as she crouched down next to the wheel chair. She put two fingers on her neck trying to feel for a pulse. None. The tears have escaped and Marinette wasn't bothering to wipe them away. "Mom...dad...help." She knew their was nothing they could do to help she was dead but she cried for it anyways. For a while she just laid there crying.
Chloe moved along the floors of an old mansion. On the white walls were pictures of girls that looked alot like her. Chloe started at the floor as she couldn't stand to look at those portraits. 'I always have to have my head held high or low. Never looking straight towards the future because who knows if I'll live long enough to have a future.'
Chloe moved sliding her feet on certain floor board that didn't creed. That way if someone entered the house she would hear them. At last she was at her room. Well, it wasn't her room to say but it was the room that she was in the most, the one that made her feel safe. Chloe back away from the door then rammed into it to open up to an almost empty room.
This was the house's emergency room if there were ever intruders. The room had a steel door similar to one of a vault. The walls looked to be white like the walls the hallway, but had steel in the walls. In one corner a pile of can foods were stacked, like in any good safe room. Their was also a fold-up table with a black and red box in the middle.
Chloe locked the door behind her and walked over to the table. She open the lid of the small box which held a honey comb in it. She gently took it out of the box making sure not to slouch while doing this task. She put the comb in her hair as if it were a crown. She did this uttering to herself "All hail our queen, the queen bee."
