"Ladybug!" Chat Noir called for her as she ran across rooftop.

"Aww Why are you running? Are you really ashamed that you almost stole his miraculous without permission." The voice echoed.

Ladybug barked, "that wasn't me, that was your doing."

"And if it was, you let me." Misfortune said.

"No," Ladybug growled.

The rational part of Ladybug's mind was no longer in charge. Operating on pure instinct, she ran, and ran, and ran, until she was at the rooftop of her home. Ignoring Chat Noir calls, she rushed through the city till she sneak back to her balcony. As she ran, faster and faster the voices chanted louder and louder and louder, goading her, mocking her.

The words spun around and around in Ladybug's mind, faster and faster until she could no longer tell what she was saying. She tried to fight back, but she was finding it difficult to maintain control. She had no idea the voices were gone, nor that she had been screaming, until she heard Tikki voice,"Marinette! Marinette!"

Ladybug collapsed against the stairs near her bed as she transformed back, sliding down to the floor, all energy spent, wanting so desperately to let her Kwami inside and grieve with her, mourn with her, just be with her, but terrified of what she might do to her. "Tikki,"

"Marinette you need help!" Tikki says worriedly.

"No one can help me,"Marinette growls.

"Only you can stop what you can become ,"The voice cackled.

"What do you want?"

"To save the future, of course," Misfortune replied, "Thats what you need to do to stop Chat Blanc from becoming."

"Chat..." Marinette whispered as she her head spiral of what she has done.

"Marinette fight it, I know you can do it!" Tikki urged not knowing what she can do.

"Don't you see she is a part of me. A part I can't control." She whispered her fists unclenched as negative energy drained out of her eyes returned to blue.

She  felt tired and weak and sick. I grabbed her stomach and fell to the floor curling into a ball, "Marinette?"

Marinette took a breath, "Don't worry. I got it."

"Marinette you need to be devilized." Tikki says as she hug Marinette cheek from happiness as Marinette was no longer in pain.

"I know, I know. But I...I Can't.." Marinette says as she pulled her knees together to her chest, "Tikki I don't know what to do."

"Oh I wish  Master Fu was here. He would know what to do," Tikki comments worriedly.

"Me too," Marinette sighed as she rested on her bed, "Me too."

That night she had a restless sleep as as storm appeared her eyes shot open as lightning flashed, lighting up her whole room, she closed the curtains. The voice was gone and Marinette sighed in relief as she pulled out her diary.

Dear Diary,
Tonight I've had no control over 'Misfortune'. I discovered that Hawkmoth true identity is Gabriel Agreste. We have to attack his liar but now I fear that something worse will happen. The akuma still believe Adrien is Chat and after tonight. I KNOW he is absolutely not. Chat Noir would know if he was living with Hawkmoth. Chat Noir is opposite of Adrien as he is care free spirit. Which sadly Adrien is uncapable of doing because of how watched he is by his father. I suspect this akuma is more tainted as future Gabriel tainted for me to believe.I almost took Chat Noir ring and did what? Almost made a wish to bring back Adrien mother so he can finally have his family. Its selfish of me to not do it. Now I know how Chat Blanc comes to be in the future. If I take his miraculous he will be easily akumatized by Hawkmoth. Who then uses him to act like he was Adrien who would side with his father to bring back his mother. I can't let him make a wish with the cat and Ladybug charms. Chat is right that it would be wrong. I shouldn't take the easy way. But I hate to admit that the easy way is better.But by now I am under the influence of temptation and fear I won't have control any longer.I don't know what to do, I'm not a trained Guard...
