Reverse Crushes (Discontinued)

Chapter 5 - Dark and Dreadful

Ladybug P.O.V.

I jumped to the nearby building, skillfully dodging the shot that had emitted the Serviteur Maléfique's duster. She was Paris's latest Akuma, one that for sure was caused by Chloe's disregard of kindness to her father's hotel employees. 

"Aren't you two lucky," She spoke, her voice menacingly low, "After all, Paris just worships you doesn't it? You never have to work for somebody, and listen to what ever the hell they say to you! If... If anything... I deserve to be worshipped! Not you!" Her arms raised and she fired another shot at me, though I moved just in time, summersaulting forward - close enough to just barely reach the end of the rooftop. 

As I was gently rubbing the bruise that was beginning to form underneath my suit, I heard Chat Noir yell, "Ladybug! Look out!" 

I looked up in time to see the malevolent grin upon Serviteur Maléfique's face, and Chat leaping in front of me. The shot that was most likely meant for me hit my partner instead, because I was too busy tending to myself!

"Chat Noir! No!" I yelled as the Akumatized villain cackled and Chat fell to the floor, groaning. I ran over to him, not paying any attention to Serviteur Maléfique, and turned his head to me as he lay motionless.

His eyes were closed, and I could feel the tears prick the back of my eyes, "No, Chat, please, please come back..." I whispered, running my hand through his messy blond hair.

Suddenly, I heard a grunt come from his throat, and he moved slightly. I gasped in hopes for him to be okay, but was quickly horrified when his eyes opened. 

No longer were they an enchanting green, but instead they were replaced with an overwhelming grey. I jumped back, and was now on my feet. As for Chat, he had slowly risen, his face emotionless and empty, and he was no standing side by side with Serviteur Maléfique. 

"What did you do?!" I yelled, clenching my fist and gritting my teeth. She smirked and rested her elbow on his shoulder.

"Oh, peasant, what does it look like I did, hm? Your precious little kitty cat his currently under my control, and worships me. Isn't that right Chaton?" She said, her tone sly and musing.

Chat nodded his head and knelt down on one knee, facing Serviteur Maléfique. He placed his hands firmly on the ground and began a chant, "Oh, Serviteur Maléfique, I am forever at your service. Oh, Serviteur Maléfique, I am forever at your service," And so on and so forth.

I glared at her, "Make him stop."

"Ugh, fine. You know, your no fun little bug," She said with a roll of her eyes, "but I'll make him stop. Kitty, why don't you go and end the heroine for me, pretty please?" 

Chat Noir stood up and looked dead at me, "Of course, M'Lady." His voice was monotone and vacant, breaking my heart.

Then, he called out for his Cataclysm.

My eyes widened and I put up my fighting stance. Ready to put an end to my love's spell, and purify this Akuma. As I was about to yell for my Lucky Charm, Chat charged.

I ran out of the way, but he continued to chase me. I had gotten pretty far up, so I decided to take this chance to say, "Lucky Cha-!"

It was too late.

I looked down and saw Chat Noir's hand on my arm, the black particles that once surrounded his hand, were now absorbing into my upper right arm. 

The pain.

Oh my god it was like thousands of knives were penetrating me. The burning was noticeable, for it was like fire. It was as if someone dumped gasoline all over my upper arm and just threw a match right on top.
