When Marinette woke up, she found that Alya was gone.
"Alya? Alya?" Marinette said looking around the house. "ALYA! WHERE ARE YOU?"

She looked around the entire house. Alya wasn't anywhere to be found. Marinette decided that Alya had probably just gone home to get ready.

Marinette went to check if Alya had gotten home safely, just to make sure.

When she got to her house No one answered. The door was slightly ajar, so Marinette went in. Marinette gasped as she looked around. Everything had been turned upside down. Something was very wrong.

Marinette went home to tell her mother that Alya was missing when she heard a voice from upstairs.
"Where did she hide it? That shell can't hide it forever! If only we had leverage."
Marinette leaned in closer, but tripped over her foot and fell, making a big crash. She ran out of the house and down to Cinder's shop.

When Marinette got there she was anxiously rubbing her earrings that Alya had gotten her. They were red with black spots - a ladybug pattern.

"Cinder, please help, I didn't know who else to come to. My best friend is nowhere to be found and-" Marinette said and then took a deep breath and continuing "I went to her house and it was turned upside down, then I went back to my house to see if she had come back, but then there was someone upstairs talking to someone else about something Alya hid. I ran out and came straight here. Cinder, please, please help me!" Marinette was out of breath by the time she ended the whole story.

"Okay Marinette-" Cinder started
"Please, call me Mari, everyone else does"
"Okay Mari, first off, calm down. Deep breaths" Cinder instructed. Marinette followed. "Was there anyone else in The house that you know of?"

Marinette gasped, how had she forgotten her mother!
"My Maman! I forgot! I am a despicable human being!" Marinette exclaimed.
" okay, let's calmly go and check if she is there" cinder said. They walked back got the house, and when they got there, Marinette saw that her house had gotten searched to.

"Maman?" Marinette said, she searched everywhere and concluded that her mother was gone too.

The phone started ringing. Marinette went to pick it up, but Cinder stopped her.

"Do you have an answering machine?" Cinder asked. "I have a Feeling this isn't any old call."
Sure enough it wasn't. When the message was recording, the voice, all rough, the same one Mari had heard earlier.

"Marinette is it? We have your friend" Marinette rushed to the phone before Cinder could stop her
"What have you done with her?" Marinette cried "Don't you dare hurt her!"
"You have 5 days to find the earrings-
Or we kill her." Click.

I am a novice. There is no other way to put it. But if you didn't mind my writing, please vote or comment, I really like writing this, but I need motivation. Cheers!
