Midnight Tresses

Chapter 11

With new determination Adrien and his friends kept on going until they reached the cave of a horrible dragon.

"Oh my God!" Tikki gasped.

"What? What is it?" Adrien asked.

"Uhhh...Kid be grateful you can't see this." Plagg said shaking up against Adrien's leg. The sound of large footsteps and hissing made the young man realize that some horrible creature must be nearby. The dragon let out a horrible roar and a breath of fire. Plagg and Tikki instructed Adrien on where to move to avoid the flames. As they tried to avoid being burned to crisp, Adrien heard Master Fu's voice in his head.

"Throw the soap as hard as you can into the dragon's mouth. Don't worry about aim, just think of the dragon's mouth when you throw it and the soap will fly to the destination your thinking of."

Adrien did as he was told and threw the soap with only the dragon's mouth in mind. The magic soap flew straight into the dragon's mouth forcing him to swallow it. In rage the dragon tried to throw another breath of fire only to breathe bubbles instead. Hundreds of bubbles. Confused the dragon tried and tried to breathe out fire but only bubbles came out, soon he exhausted himself into passing out.

"Not so hot now are you?" Plagg joked.

Going further they stumbled on to the lair of a horrible cyclops who tried to crush them.

"Throw the needle in his eye." Fu told Adrien in his head. Adrien then pulled out the needle and threw it. The needle flew into it's eye, the cyclops cried out in pain and fell backwards off of a ledge.

"Where did you get this stuff?" Plagg asked.

"Long story." Adrien asked. "Where are we now?"

"No idea." Plagg said. "And I've lost Marinette's scent."

"Now what?" Adrien said. "If I don't find her I'll never-"

Then his ears caught hold of a familiar singing. It was very faint but he dared to hope, he quickly began moving in the direction of the singing. Getting closer he could hear it better.

"Oh the waves roll low,

And the waves roll high,

And so it goes.

Under a bright blue endless sky,

Waves try to measure,

Days that we treasure.

Wave hello and wave goodbye."

He knew that beautiful voice all too well. It had to be her, it just had to be. He quickly ran toward the source of the voice. He tripped a few times due to being blind but he still kept going.

"Marinette! Marinette! Are you here?"

"Adrien? Is that you?" She asked.

"Yes! It's me!"

"Oh thank God! I was so worried that she had killed you!"

"Hold on! I'm coming!"

"No! Go back! Please! She'll kill you for sure if she finds you here!"

"I don't care! Where are you my darling?"

"No! I won't tell! Leave please!"

"Never!" He soon found himself touching Marinette's hand. He immediately threw his arms around her as did she. As they embraced Marinette began to cry tears of joy despite how fearful she was for his safety she was glad he was here until she saw the scratches around his eyes.
