The Egyptian Ladybug and her Chat

Chapter 10

"Marinette!" Came the scream, "Where are you? MARINETTE!" Chloe screamed even louder.

"Coming Princess!" I called. I was carrying towels and sun creams.

Chloe was out in one of the pools. She, some other visiting royals, and even Adrien himself were relaxing and playing games in the cool, crystal waters.

I came to where Chloe sunbathed.

"Well, it's about time! You move at turtle pace. It's really quite ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"

"I'm sorry your highness. I will try to be faster next time."

I gently laid my materials down and walked over to a large, somewhat spiky plant called an aloe. I gently tore off one of its large leaves and walked back over to Chloe.

I squeezed the gel-like insides into a small bowl I'd brought with me, and began to mix parts of it into other creams, then applied them to Chloe's back so she wouldn't get burned by the sun.

"Servant girl! Bring some of that here!" Called a voice.

I was quick to do as I was told and brought my aloe and creams to a dark-skinned boy who was smiling mischievously. My heart dropped, "Nino!" I whispered.

He smiled bigger. Adrien was beside him smiling too. They sat at the edge of the pool, both looking ridiculously proud of themselves.

"Have you heard? Nino has been approved by my Uncle as my current and future head advisor..."

I gasped. That meant Nino was practically the Prince of Egypt himself! Oh, Alya was gonna freak when she found out.

"Now, make us some of that cream. Another servant girl was raving about never being burnt because of it."

I smirked. That was Alya...although she did love to exaggerate. But I did as I was asked, then gave the bowl to Nino and Adrien.

"MARINETTE!" Screamed my favorite person in the world.

"Coming Princess Chloe!"

"My ladyship, if you don't mind me asking, why is Sabrina just sitting there, doing nothing?"

I noticed Sabrina turn hopefully towards Chloe. Uh oh...Something told me that something bad had happened between them.

"Sabrina who? I don't know any Sabrina."

"But she's right there Miss."

"I don't see her. She must be a mirage-like thingy in the desert! Nothing important, only an illusion!"

I noticed Sabrina start to tear up.

Suddenly, a black butterfly appeared.

It came to Sabrina before I could stop it, and she was soon taken over.

"Sabrina, fight it! You can do it! Fight the evil! Don't give into negative-"

"AHHHHHH!" Chloe screamed, droning out my voice.

Ugh, I was never going to get through to Sabrina. I ran to Chloe, and picking her up swiftly, began running through the halls.

Chloe kept screaming.

"Chloe! Quiet! She'll hear you and follow us, then catch you."

Chloe stopped screaming.

I kept running, looking for a place to hide Chloe. But then I saw something better.
