Let Me Tell You...

IV.

Without thinking, I opened the door before Giam had fully parked the limousine itself. They probably didn't care; who has the time to reprimand over the smallest things in the time of a crisis?
I was running as fast as my legs could carry me. All I felt was burning in my chest. How? I couldn't believe it. Nothing felt real anymore, my life feeling more like a lie now than ever. My head was racing, and as I dashed towards the gates to enter the estate, it replayed a scene from minutes before.
/:::~~~~:::/
"Father? What about him?" My eyes widened. "Was he akumatized?" Questions flooded out from my mouth, a-mile-minute. I paused when Nathalie put her hand on my arm.
"Adrien, Mr.Agres- Your father isn't telling you everything." I laughed. "Of course he isn't, his life is so private that he could be a part time bus driver for all I know." She didn't acknowledge the inside joke we had had since I was five. She only shook her head, more of her hair falling out of her loosened updo. She steeled herself and spoke some words that hit me harder than a blow to the stomach.
"Your father isn't who we thought he was- I don't know how you deserved the misfortune of a Villain for a father."
Anything else she said didn't register in mmy brain. The only thing that did?
He's been here. This whole time.
My greatest rival was right in front of my face. I couldn't take it any longer.
That's when it got to me.
/:::~~~~:::/
Nathalie was relentless, arguing that it was too dangerous for me to confront him. "Nathalie, he's my FATHER! He would never hurt me! Just let me go!"
I didn't care how ridiculous I might have sounded.
"I understand the irony, but you know your father wouldn't want you out in harm's way! Adrien, listen to me. This is my job! I'm not letting you go out there, no matter what. It's too big a risk. Mr. Agreste would never forgive me if I did."
Things had come to this.
I knew I might regret it later....
But it's worth it, I knew.
So I, in turn, said a few words that changed Nathalie's life, just as hers' had changed mine.
"Plagg, CLAWS OUT!"

Aaaaaah!!!! 492 Words! I know its super short, but it took me an hour+ to do the rough draft and rewrite it. Lol, I know that an hour is probably nothing compared to how long it takes you other Writers to write, so I shouldn't complain, but it's been so busy at my house that an hour is like five. Sorry about the delay in posting this.... hope it's ok enough for you all! I will have the next chapter written and ready to post when we hit 24 reads, or on the weekend, whichever comes first! (Hopefully it's not the second one :) )
