A Danger To Myself And Others

P R O L O G U E

Adrien Agreste ~ Chat Noir
It started by a bad day.

When I woke up, you wouldn't expect it to be day that held something ominous. The sun was shining gorgeously through my window and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I stretched as I pressed my alarm off. I slid out of bed with my kwami, Plagg, still sleeping comfortably on one of my pillows.

I even smiled happily as I went to take my shower and get ready for school. Once I got out, I wondered why Nathalie didn't come to get me for breakfast, nor did she come to hurry me along. I waited just a bit for her to come for me, but she didn't.

"Kid!" Plagg whined finally waking up, "I'm hungry."

I threw him a piece of smelly Camembert as I headed downstairs with Plagg zipping through the air into one of my pockets. I went into the dining room expecting breakfast was ready, but it wasn't, nor there seemed to be anyone else anywhere.

"Hello?" I said as my voice echoed down the empty hallways, "Nathalie!? Father?!"

I realized I was about to be late for school. There was only one room left, I climbed the stairs to come face to face with the door of my father's office. It stood ominous and unwelcoming. I took a deep breath and raised my hand to open the door just a bit. I slowly peeked in.

My heart raced, my palms became sweating, and the whole world seemed to spin. I felt like I was gasping for air to take a breath, but there was just no left air at all.

It couldn't be real. It must be not real, but I peek again and there they were standing there talking two each other.

Hawkmoth and Mayura. Gabriel Agreste and Nathalie.

My father,  the father who used chase me down all these now cold hallways, the father who said, 'I love you' every chance he got but now could never speak those words ever again, the father who would give me the world but now could only give me the cold shoulder. I should of seen it. I should of saved myself from the cold wrenching heartbreak I feel now.

My father is Hawkmoth.

But, Nathalie, the secret smile we shared, the knowing looks, her encouraging word of saying, 'your father still loves you.' No matter how Nathalie took care of me, Nathalie is still Mayura.

Then I broke into a run, out of the house, out of the fence, out of the prison I couldn't bare anymore. I slowed down as I had no idea where I was running to. I went into some store and went to the bathroom.

"Plagg?" I seemed to whimper.

"Adrien." Plagg said, "I'm so sorry. You'll get through this. You need to tell Ladybug, she will know what to do?"

"I can't! I couldn't possibly do that to my father." I said as tears started to stream down my face, "Plagg, how the heck am I going to live? I might as well roll over and die..."

Plagg then slapped me and said, "Get your act together! We will discuss this later. But, right now, your going to go to school and put on a smile. Your going to act like nothing happened and you will not shred a tear at school. But when you come home we can eat as much Camembert and cry as much as want. Fake it until you make it, Agreste."

"Not cry? Or what? my father might akumatize me?!" I replied as a hysterical laugh came out my mouth then I mumbled, "Sorry, you're right."

I turned to look at the mirror and took a deep breath. I wiped my face with a tissue. I turned to Plagg giving off a model's smile and said, "How do I look?"

"Tough as a cat's claws." Plagg said smiling back as he flew into my jacket.

I ran out of the building and hoped I wasn't ridiculously late to school. I ran as my shoes thumped against the stone streets of Paris. I stopped and looked at the gates of Francois Dupont College and took a deep breath.

"You can do it! I believe in you! You are going to do and be absolutely purrfect, Adrien." My kwami's surprisingly encouraging voice rang from my white jacket.

I faked a smile and ran into the school to find my classroom. I stopped at the classroom as I saw the door was already closed. I took a deep breath as I wondered if I should knock or not.

What does Marinette do when she is late? She sneaks in and hopes no one notices her.

I opened the door slowly and squeezed my body threw the crack. I quietly went to my seat next to Nino, hoping my alter ego's stealthiness would help me in this situation.

"Adrien Agreste." Mrs. Bustier said making me jump as she smiled at me, "Nice of you to be able to join us. When you were coming late I thought you had an unexpected photo shoot."

I smiled and said, "No, Mrs. Bustier, just some awful traffic. You know Paris's beauty can make the city so hectic sometimes."

I hated lying to Mrs. Bustier. She is such a kind teacher and I am so lucky to have her as my first teacher at public school. I took another deep breath as Mrs. Bustier continued on her lesson.

After school, I went straight to my room and shut the door. Trying to get away from the world, I went to lay on my bed. Thankfully my father didn't want to speak to me. I curled on my bed as I thought what happened throughout the day.

"I made it, Plagg." I said sadly.

Plagg nodded as he handed me a piece of Camembert. Who knew that I would shoveling the smelly stuff into my mouth until today. Plagg flew to nuzzle into my blonde hair and we sat quietly for a while.

"We need to talk about what happened today, Adrien." Plagg said sadly, "I know your father might not be here or even love you, Adrien. Even though I might the most annoying kwami ever, I will always be here and I will always love you. You're the best Chat Noir I have ever had, and I would hate myself forever if something bad happened to you."

"Thanks Plagg. But I'm not ready to talk about it, just not right now." I said numbly as roll over to my side as I rest on my bed, "Maybe tomorrow."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep with wet cheeks. A purple butterfly fluttered through my closed door. The akuma flew closer.

But it wasn't coming for me.

A/N
I wrote this chapter just for fun. I always wanted to write my own chapter about Adrien finding out his father and Nathalie were Hawkmoth and Mayura. So I did! It has been sitting here awhile because I didn't really know where to go from here but now I do!

Also, I know the cover sucks badly right now. I will work on that to make a better cover for y'all! Well you probably don't read this, because I don't unless I'm a really big fan of the author.

So vote/press the star, comment your opinion of my prologue, and make me feel miraculous!

-mirculously out!
