La Red

Pt. 1

This was originally posted on my tumblr. So the formatting is... off. I'll do my best to correct it.

For now, this is just a prelude to the start of the story.

D/C: I own nothing.

Marinette knew there was no way of calling out Lila's lies without any proof or support of her classmates. Even if there were truth to her own words, Lila would just create waterworks to gain sympathy from everyone. All the while the fashionista gets in return are glares and looks of disdain.

Lila was doing another video for the Ladyblog, going on about how she's Ladybug's best friend. It was all a lie and the entire thing just made Marinette's stomach clench uneasily. How could Alya not even bother to double check her references?

Before Marinette logged off the Ladyblog, there was a comment that caught her attention. She recognized the pseudonym as one Alya complained to be trolling the Ladybug and Lila.

Multiple times Alya attempted to block or argue with them, the Troll seemed to mock everything that has to do with Lila.

Biting on her bottom lip, Marinette clicked on the profile of the Troll... which only resulted in going into a very blank profile. In the profile, there was only a link that called out to her. Looking around her room, Marinette saw Tikki snoozing away on her handmade bed.

Back at the computer monitor, Marinette clicked on the link and what popped up caused her jaw to drop.

It was a blog completely dedicated to Lila Rossi. It wasn't one filled with love or something of that nature It was filled of warnings and be wary of the teen and her never-ending lies. From what Marinette could find, the creator of the blog went to school with Lila in a different country and dealt with her lies. There were posts of people from other places that collaborated the creator's story.

All of them going on how Lila did everything she could to make herself the center of attention and ruin anyone that dare question her.

Marinette tapped her fingers against her desk and wondered how to proceed. There was no way she could tell anyone about this blog. Lila could very well state she created it herself to continue her bullying against her.

She needed to think through her next course of actions... making sure it is the same Lila Rossi.

Looking through the blog, there was a picture of the said person with the word liar stamped over it. Yep, the same person.

Marinette looked back at Tikki and wished she was awake so that there was someone she could talk to about her discovery. There was no way she could talk to Alya about this...

The next day, Marinette kept to herself. More so than usual. Whenever class wasn't in secession, she could be on her phone looking through the blog. Reading all the stories and comparing them to her own. If Lila was one thing, it was predictable. It was clear she has a pattern and did whatever she could to keep it that way.

"Are you going to post what is happening to you, Marinette?" Tikki asked her holder, watching Marinette continuously hesitate in front of her phone and computer. Every time she wanted to ask for help or to put up her own story on the blog.

"What should I do, Tikki?" Marinette gripped her hair, closing her eyes tight as she tried to think over her next course of actions. "I hate Lila for what she has done to my friends."

"And what she's doing to you..." Tikki added in softly. She looked over at the computer screen, deep in thought. She should be telling her holder that she should have nothing to with the blog. To simply forget about it and attempt to take a different path to deal with Lila. Now, that's what Tikki should say. However, that girl has harassed, belittled, threatened and so much more against Marinette.

Tikki was all out of mercy.

Marinette made a small post on the blog, under the pseudonym of Bugaboo2. She wrote about her current dealings with Lila and how everyone turned her back on her. It didn't take that long before people responded to her post and all of them confirmed that was Lila's M.O.

Marinette couldn't help the tears that gushed out, she covered her mouth at the fact people believe her. She started to respond back to the commented's questions. The fact there are people out there that believe her made everything worthwhile.

Someone mentioned that Marinette needed to get in contact with the creator of the blog... and the only person to destroy Lila Rossi.

With the help of Tikki, Marinette agreed to get in contact with the mystery blogger that is behind the blog. Luckily, one of the people she was talking to was a moderator of the blog and have her the person's email.

She did receive a warning. That the only time Marinette is to contact the Mystery Blogger if she wanted to destroy Lila Rossi.

This had Marinette pause. Does she want that?
