Give Her Back

Chapter 4

Marinette's pov

The same maid escorted me back to my bedroom, or should I also call it chamber like everyone else? Too fancy. Well, we arrived and she spoke up.

"Your night gown and everything is in the closet display holder. And if you need anything, feel free to press the button on your nightstand. Goodnight miss".

She curtsied away. This was something I might never get used to. The boy that was now considered my friend took a seat on my bed and I just looked at something that was also on my nightstand that wasn't there before.

He looked to where I was looking and made a face of realization.

" Open it".

"What is it"?

" just open it. Our parents can't know about this though. Once you open it, you'll find out. Now, let me close the door and please, enter your closet".

I did as the boy said but first grabbed the little box with fine patterns. The boy closed the door and followed me into the closet. He closed that door as well and looked at me. I don't know what was his doing in all of this but I didn't question it.

I opened the box and a blinding light appeared. I looked away but didn't say anything. The light soon went away and there was a squeaky voice.

I looked up from the ground and saw a red floating thing. And it looked weird. So I did the only thing any five year old would do when they saw a flying bug. And I was going to do it Jason style. Yeah!

I grabbed a hanger and whacked the thing.

"OW" it screeched.

"Why is it red"?

" Bitch, don't fucking whack me ever again"!

Gasp

I stared at her wide eyes because it said something bad.

"You just said a no no word. And people or things that say this are sinners and get punished by god. And you, bug thing, deserve to be punished". I spat out.

" you dare talk to me like that"!?

"Ooh, Tikki, wait till I tell the great guardian. He'll be very disappointed. Only I'm known for that, and I think you broke the girl's tiny heart with your foul language" . Said a black floating thingy coming from the boy's dress shirt.

"Well, now that I am more calmed down, what are you. And why did you say so many no no words in one sentence. Usually when either Dick or Jay Jay say them, they get punished because I'm just a child. So what kind of punishments do you get".

" Yeah Tikki, what punishments do we get".

"Plagg, shut up. Now is not the time. And I don't like her"!

Gasp

I was shocked. The only time I have ever been neglected was for six months straight by my dad. And the pain I felt all those days. It all hurt. He never once touched me until after that phase of neglect. And it was pretty bad.

Most children would never remember their awful memories before age one. But I did. They were all very clear in my head. Must be that weird vampire thing.

" Well if you don't like me, then why are you even here? All I did was get scared. And you're just overreacting. And your words are hurtful you know. Maybe you don't feel anything, but I think you do, but I know I do. I have been neglected for six months straight by my dad. But eventually, it all stopped and I was happy again.

I mean, I've heard him say awful things about me. And they clearly weren't true. He realized that after. So if you want to do the same, go ahead. You can take your magical goddess like powers and torture some other child. How do you think they're going to react. Probably worse than me".
