Mari's POV
I raced out into the woods, excited for the day I planned. I was planning on finding and drawing some of the forest animals and plants.
It was the early afternoon, so I had plenty of time till dusk.
I shivered at the word.
Dusk.
There is a rule here in our village of Paris. Never stay out after dusk. Why?
Because you'll disappear and never come back. Most people say you'll die. Why?
Because of...
Him.
No one knows his name or what he looks like. Who'd even live to tell the tale anyways?
But legend describes him as boy in a black cat suit with vibrant, intimidating green eyes that were made to peirce your soul. And his name is Chat Noir.
Pft, I bet you that's not even close.
Why is he so "scary" anyways, you may ask?
He kidnaps. He kills. He tortures. He terrorizes. He steals. He's unpredictable.
Now who wouldn't be scared of that?
Good thing he only comes out at night along with the other monsters that lurk in the woods.
But I'll just shut up for now. Even thinking about this is scaring me...
Little did I know dusk would come faster than I thought...
I was happily drawing a little fawn in the distance.
But suddenly it looked towards the horizon and booked it outta there.
Then I realized...
It's sunset.
"Dusk is almost here! I better be like that fawn and book it outta here!" I thought to myself.
I ran like lightning back to the village.
But I forgot how far I was from home.
Later, I looked up to the sky to see that it was nighttime. The sun was gone.
Night was here.
Dusk had past.
I kept on running anyway.
But just as I did, I was knocked to the ground.
"Well hello there, little lady," a low, mischievous voice said from behind me.
I got up and dusted myself off. When I looked up i saw what I wish I hadn't.
It was a boy who looked my age in a black cat suit, and the most vibrant and soul piercing green eyes I ever seen.
My suspicions of who he was was pointing to a certain boy from my nightmares, but trying to deny it I asked,
"Who are you?"
He smirked. "I'd thought you'd already know, purrincess."
Oh please, no...
"Tell me your name first," he demanded.
"Why should I tell you?"
In a blink of an eye, I felt the ground smack the back of my head.
He'd pinned me to the ground.
"Because if you don't, there will be punishment. And I purromise that you won't like it. Plus, ladies first."
I had no choice but to give in.
"My name is Marinette."
He smirked evilly. "Hello Marinette. My name is Chat Noir."
My thoughts started going haywire. "Wait! He's Chat Noir! I'm so gonna-"
But my thought were cut off when my world went black.
I have been kidnapped by Chat Noir.
And who knows what'll happen to me now.
Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've really, really busy lately! 😩😧
