I--I I don't even know what to say. My skin it's white. Not like before but it's completely white, like porcelain white. And my hair, it's white also. And if that wasn't any worst my eyes have changed from green to blue. But why?

"What..I..How! I look like Chat Blanc!" I say remembering the Amuk version of me. "I don't get it why did I change? I thought I would only change when I turned into Chat Noir." I say knowing that was what Tikki said.

"Truthfully I don't know why your changing too. But if I had to guess your actions are speeding up the transformation. Looking at you and Plagg now I'm leaning more towards only three changes left before your next change turns you into Chat Blanc."

Plagg and I both gasp at this knowledge and knowing all the danger that happens in Paris without my father doesn't give up much hope.

"You need to perform this ritual and you need to do it now. Waiting is only prolonging the inevitable. You need to forget about-," she didn't get to finish her sentence as I became overrun with anger. Knowing what she was about to say I grab her in my hand.

"You listen here you little---." The expression of pain on her face pulled me back to my senses before I did anything drastic. "I won't say it anymore. I will fix things when it's over." I release her and walk away with nothing left to say.

I don't even bother to stay in my room and headed downstairs neglected the fact that my hair, eyes, and skin are not their normal color. When Nathalie saw me she dropped her tabled, the new one, breaking it.

"Adrien what happened?" She says touching my hair and skin. "You're pale."

"It's a side affect to when I was akumatized by father. I'm changing everytime I become Chat Noir into Chat Blanc in looks and attitude."

"Does your father know?" She asks still fiddling with my hair and looking at my skin.

"No he doesn't. If he did I've no doubt he would act rash. Besides I have it covered." I say lying somewhat.

"Are you sure?" She asks sounding concerned.

"Yes Mother." I froze immediately after saying this as did Nathalie. I'd blindsided her by calling her mother by accident. Truth be told after my mother died Nathalie really took the part without even knowing it. She'd always been my Father's assistant for as long as I've known, but when my father was in his dark place she was the only one able to pull him out of it. Even though she spends her time being cold and hardened it's only apart of her job. Through this time she managed to work her way into a mother figure for me. Not to mention I can tell she has a thing for my father. "I-I am sorry Nathalie. I shouldn't have said that."

"It is alright Adrien." She turns around but I was able to see a smile form before fully turning. "Despite this change you still have a photoshoot to attend. Not sure how they'll respond to this." She pauses to think and comes up with a somewhat decent idea. "This is the worst cliche I can think of but bad boy. You said your change is affecting your attitude so going for the bad boy schtick should cover all bases. Only thing I can't think of is the eyes and skin."

"I can lie and say they're contacts. But the skin is unexplainable. I can just call it a medical condition I developed in the hospital."

"That will work. However, you still need to tell your Father about this." She says.

"I will but not now. Everything is falling into place perfectly and I just need to wait for him to get back. The sooner we finish our priorities then the sooner I can fix this. Trust me." Just like everyone else her expression voices the concern she won't openly say. "Come on let's get to that photoshoot."
