Miraculous Curses Of the Mermaid Treasure 2

Chapter 9

"Ok..." Ladybug says as she created a pulley system from Viperions and Carapace belts. The crew watched as she finally manages to roll her yoyo close towards Rene Rouge.

Rene Rouge smiled in content and tossed it to Ladybug, "You go girl!"

Ladybug dropped the pulley belts and caught her yoyo. Once she was up she called out, "Lucky Charm!"

Out of yoyo appeared a skeleton key, "Yes!" Carapace cheered in exhaustion.

Once they were out of the cell the rest of the crew got their weapons. Rene Rouge automatically created a mirage of them in the shelve. Carapace then leads them out. They were in a high tower as they guarded by few.

"Come this way," Carapace whispered, taking a small torch from the walls outside the cells. "I know that there always a staircase that guards never use."

Grief was a knife in Ladybug' heart as she glanced behind her shoulder to gaze at the cell where Chat Noir was not with them for their escape. She worries for his locations, "Where are you kitty." She mumbled under her breath.

"Turn this way," Carapace directed where the crew took a right turn on a dim hallway shrouded in darkness. "And try not to make any noises as we head down. Some of these rocks are centuries old, I think."

"You think?" Rene Rouge commented.

"I'm not a rock expert." Carapace groans, "I just know jails and how to escape them."

At the end of the hall lay a wooden door which Carapace lifted up to reveal a set of spiral staircases down below. The light from the torch helped the crew to watch their step while climbing down cautiously. A few tiny pebbles fell from the stairs, but they kept ongoing. If any guards were patrolling anyplace near this secret stairway, then it was always a wise decision to be careful. And once they were all the way down the stairs, they reach the catacombs of the prison.

"Why is there water down here?" Ladybug asked as there was catacomb an underground in the prison.

"It's one way of transporting prisoners and the other reason is this is where the crocodiles live." Carapace says nervously as searches around for a boat to escape.

"Well, then we better swim fast." Rene Rouge comments as she dove down and transform back into a mermaid.

"What!" Carapace freaked with fear.

"Come on there are no crocodiles here," Alya said confidently.

"Well, he can't swim the distance." Ladybug states as she helps him look for another way to escape. Howevask in confusion as she looked at him with worried.

Viperion shrugs at Carapace, "Time to fess up."

"Fess up?" Ladybug says in confusion.

"Uhh.." Carapace says nervously then pointed at the giant turtle who appeared out of the river, "Wayzz shell on fins!"

Soon Carapace transformed into a mermaid and dove into the water. Ladybug crossed her arms in anger then heard noises in the above staircase, "We're going to talk after we escape."

Viperion and Ladybug then transform as they dove into the water. As they swam in the water trying to see there way out a thought came up for Marinette, "And you knew!" She stated towards Luka
