When She Scars [MariChat] [#Watty2018]

☆Chapter 5☆

When they find the criminal under Hawkmoths control, Ladybug tries to get him knocked out but fails by getting tangled in the tree roots. The villain laughs and grips Ladybug tighter with his roots.

"Who are you?" Chat asked with irritation in his eyes

"I am Vite, and you should eat your Vitamin C!"

"Nah, I'm good" Chat tries to get the villain unconscious as well, but also fails. He gets tangled in the roots as well.

"What now?" Chat shrieks still trying to get out of the villain's roots. Ladybug tries to think, but with all of her thoughts it comes out is tears.
Vite throws them in a prison of roots. Chat tries to pull the roots aside, but it doesn't work.

"Forget it, Chat, I failed Paris."

"No, you didn't!" Chat held both of her hands. "You still can do this, M'lady."

"Lucky Charm!" she yells vigorously, with tears still in her eyes. When it falls, it's a basket of apples.

"What am I supposed to do with these?"

"Orange you glad you got apples instead?" Ladybug rolls her eyes him and starts to look around with her Lucky Vision which points at a building right next to Vite and his head and Chats staff.

"Hey, Chat?" Ladybug taps his shoulder.

"Yes, m'lady?" she whispers in his ear. When she pats his back, he goes to the building and is ready to hit something with his staff. Ladybug throws one of the apples at Chat Noir and hollers,

"Ready to make a huge headache?" Chat smiles as he hit the apple with his staff to the villain.

As Ladybug keeps throwing apples, Vite tries to grab both of them but fails. He slips off after being hit with the last apple. When she was done, she saw where the Akuma is.

Ladybug runs off the building and swings toward the villain with her magic yo-yo. When she gets there, she finds the where the Akuma is hiding, in the victims pocket. When she pulls it out, she finds a black orange. 

"Hey, Chat? It's time," Chat knew where she was going with this.

"Cataclysm!" he touched and when she does the black butterfly comes out. Ladybug catches the butterfly with her yo-yo and purifies it. 

"Good work, m'lady" Chat said in his very charming voice "Shall we?" 

Ladybug and Chat fist bumped and said in unity "Pound it!" as they separate, Ladybug looks back at Chat before going home.

When Ladybug transforms back to Marinette, she goes right to work until the moon rises. After that, she finishes her work, she goes up to her balcony, looks at the stars, sighing to herself. Mari goes back inside, gets changed into her pajamas, and looks at the blade in her sewing kit. 

She sits down at her desk and picks it up, with a napkin in the other hand and starts to cut herself on her arm, making 12 marks because of how many times Adrian has ignored her and only called her a 'friend'. When Tikki wakes up from her nap, she shrieks and tells Mari,

"Hey! Stop that! You are hurting yourself!"

"Go away, Tikki, there is no helping me getting out of this" she pushes Tikki away from her, making Tikki go and sit in the corner with a cookie in her arms, looking back at Mari hurting herself with a sad, teary-eyed face. 

Marinette feels the pain as the blood drips while crying softly to herself, on a napkin she placed on her lap so she doesn't spill on her carpet. After she was done, she cleaned up and put a bandage on her arm so no one could see the cuts she made. Finally, she falls asleep with tears still in her eyes. 

Mari woke up really early before the crack of dawn, she sat at her computer until it turned on to put in her password from the lock screen. When she finally logged in, she moved every pic she has of Adrian to a "DO NOT TOUCH EVER AGAIN" folder on her desktop. She also changed her lock screen and wallpaper on her computer to a picture that looked like blood was splattered all over the screen. 

She even took every picture of Adrian off her wall and put in a "Burn Box" for when she wants to burn all of them at once. She even wrote a note on a piece of paper saying: "To my past love, never being more than 'just friends'"

When she was done with the note, she placed it in the box and closed it to place it under a blanket behind her hat boxes, so no one would look there. Mari packs all her school things, gets changed in her normal clothes for school, and leaves the door without breakfast or saying goodbye to her parents, which always does, until now. 

When she gets to school, she comes into an empty, quiet classroom and takes her seat. She also brings out her tablet and clicks "send to teacher" button on the screen to turn in her assignment. After that, she started to draw designs for the Winter Dance that was coming up and she always has to design her own clothes to make them extra special. 

The clock hits 7:51 am and all of her classmates come in and take their normal seats as if no one saw Mari sitting all alone. Ayla takes her seat and says

"Hey girl, guess what I got!?" she was overly excited about something she wanted to show her best friend. 

"Let me guess, another Ladybug theory?"

"No, I got a picture of Chat and Ladybug fighting Vite, you should have been there to see them in action!" 

"Sorry I did not come then, I was too busy with homework and stuff, so I rather stick to listening to the news when it reported instead"Mari lied since she had to keep her identity a secret.

"No problem, girl, do what you gotta do to keep those grades up," Adrien sees Mari and waves to her, but she ignores him entirely, still paying attention to her tablet. 

Whatever, Alya" when the student's teacher comes in she gets her lesson started with something she wrote on the board:

"Was it worth it for Juliet to kill herself?"
