The Finding

Chapter Four

Gabriel

  He simply could not believe it. After countless attempts throughout the past year or two he finally won. Ladybug and ChatNoir's Miraculous' were coming to him now. He could feel Purple Ivy getting close. He could practically feel the absolute power that he would soon have. He had waited so long for it after all.

  "Can you believe it Nooroo?" Gabriel asked, knowing full well his kwami could hear him. "We have finally won. Ladybug and ChatNoir's miraculous' are finally mine."

  "Yes master." Nooroo responded in Gabriel's mind. In the time he had the kwami in his power, he had become accustomed to that answer. The butterfly kwami didn't speak much, not since he had told Gabriel about the miraculous'. Gabriel knew that Nooroo hated what he was doing, he thought it was wrong, but that never stopped Gabriel. He was going to get what he wanted, no matter what.

  A sudden knocking on the window pulled his attention away from his thoughts. Looking over towards where the darkened butterflies usually left he couldn't help the smirk when he saw Purple Ivy. She was there being lifted by vines, her arm sticking through the small space where there was no glass. In her hand, was exactly what he had asked for.

  "Here they are, as you wished HawkMoth." Purple Ivy said dropping the objects into Gabriel's hands. He couldn't keep the grin off his face. To have the miraculous' in his hands was so much more compared to the fact that he had beaten Ladybug and ChatNoir. It was the best feeling he had ever felt, well actually more like a close second.

  "Thank you Purple Ivy. You have done well." Gabriel said. Studying the ring and earrings he had. They looked just like they had in the book he had hidden away. One he had spent hours trying to decipher. With a code that a certain blonde had been able to understand. Sadly the blonde was no longer with him, she had simply disappeared soon after he had found the book that only she seemed to be able to understand.

  "What about my end? You were going to help me get revenge on the people that did me wrong!" Purple Ivy called through the glass. She sounded furious, like she already knew he was going to go back on his deal. Gabriel really hoped she did know, it would make her pain that much more amusing.

  He waved his hand, willing the butterfly to come out of the girl's anklet. He was surprised to have found it working, since it was the first time he had tried it before. The fact that it worked just improved Gabriel's mood even more. It was defiantly his favourite day since he had become a super villain.

  He heard a yelp from the poor girl as she past his window. Gabriel paid no attention to it, knowing there was a flat roof to catch her fall seven feet below the window. Low enough that she would not be able to make any attempts at distracting him by making movement outside the window. But it was also high enough so she didn't have to fall far. If she was smart, she would be able to get down from the roof she was on. There was a pole he had installed just for that reason.

  "Nooroo, dark wings, fall." He commanded letting his transformation go. Nooroo instantly appeared in front of Gabriel, his eyes down, refusing to look at his master. Most of the time Gabriel would confront his kwami after he detranformed, but not this time. This time he was so focused on the miraculous' in hand that he had forgotten about the kwami that had given him the power to get this far.

  Gabriel didn't waste a second longer. He put the ring on, watching as a cat like kwami appeared. "Ad-" Plagg was about to throw an insult, tell Adrien how stupid he was for letting the miraculous get taken away. He was about to tell Adrien that he wanted his precious Camembert. But just in time, before he had uttered his rightful holders name, had he caught himself.

  Plagg stared up at Adrien's father, his appetite suddenly gone. Fear shot through him as he caught sight of Nooroo not to far from where he was. It could only mean one thing. One thing that Plagg hoped wasn't true.

  Gabriel paid no attention to Plagg at first. He took the earrings, raising them to his ears before he froze. Too late had he realized his didn't have his ears pierced. He hadn't planned this far, which was stupid of him. Out of all the times he had said the word earrings, how had it not processed in his mind that he would need holes in his earlobes to wear them.

  Plagg couldn't help but snicker seeing how frustrated Gabriel was. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought that far ahead. What kind of person didn't think that far ahead? Only stupid ones in Plagg's opinion.

  "Fine, minor setback." Gabriel said, more to himself than either of the two kwamis. "I'll just have to get my ears pierced. It won't take that long. I'll be able to achieve my power in no time." He muttered to himself. He had bother miraculous', there was simply no way anyone could defeat him, right?
