La Red

Pt. 8

La Red

-.-

D/C: I own nothing.

-.-

Chloe knew from the beginning that Sabrina has been using her just as much she is using her. It was, in a way, a give and take friendship. Despite this, they are actual friends and could trust each other with a lot of aspects in their lives. Sabrina knows why she has acted out, all in an attempt to gain attention from parents that never bother to pay any attention to her or believes material wealth could replace love. Chloe knows that whenever something happens to anyone in Sabrina's family, she takes a turn for the worse. Especially when hearing what happened to her cousin in Italy.

So, when Lila arrived in Paris, Chloe actually became slightly terrified at the sight of Sabrina wanting to outright eliminate the liar. Once getting the backstory, it became clear to the blonde that they needed to be just as devious and manipulative to get rid of Lila. Luckily for the both of them, Sabrina knew all about that. How she managed to deceive so many people is beyond her?

Now, all that results with Chloe standing in front of Nino's family food mart. Sabrina's text had told her to meet her, Nino and Marinette here. For what reason? To layout a plan to take down Lila.

So, here is Chloe, wondering if her reputation is worth this. Looking up at the sky, she wonders if this is something Ladybug would like her to do. To take down Lila Rossi.

"This better be good." Chloe muttered to herself, marching into the shop with a look of complete distaste.

Right by the door is the cash register and standing behind it is Nino's mother, who simply pointed to her at the far corner of the shop where the eating area is located at. Marching towards the back, she could already hear people whispering over the sound of a fan and food being cooked. Okay, the smell is good but nothing on the many high-class restaurants she's been too.

"Chloe knows that I hate Lila and been acting like a total sheep for Lila to get information." Sabrina explained to the others.

"And she's okay with it all?" Nino asked.

Ah... Nino... If there was someone that would go up against Lila, he would be on the top of Chloe's list. The top name of that list is Alya... his supposed girlfriend. This doesn't sit right for the blonde. Even with the information Sabrina provided, she is still wary of Nino's involvement in taking down Lila. For all she knows, this could be some sort of ruse.

"Long as we take down that lying piece of crap, I don't care what happens." Chloe butted in, causing everyone at the table to jump momentarily. The first person to react is Sabrina who quickly jumped up and proceeded to jump around her. With a roll of her eyes, Chloe extended an arm and that was enough for Sabrina to engulf her into a hug. "There there, now get off."

Sabrina did as ask and pulled Chloe to sit next to her with the others.

Nino and Marinette both looked tense as if they were waiting for the worse to come.

"What?" Chloe questioned with an eyebrow raised. "That liar needs to be thrown down a couple dozen of pegs and it would be something Ladybug would want me to do. How no one bothers to ask her side of things, are beyond me!"

Right then and there, Nino and Marinette knew they could trust her. Even if Chloe still is acting a bit trivial about it, her mind and heart is in the right place.

"Especially that girlf-"

"I broke up with Alya the other day over it all."

Okay, Chloe was not expecting that response. She looked over at Sabrina for confirmation and got a nod. Okay... this could still be a ruse...this could still be a ruse. Everything could be a ruse. Alya is the type to use every underhanded tactics to get information. "I find that hard to believe."
