—————————————————————————————————

Marinette's POV: 

I didn't trust Emma one bit! There is NO WAY that Gabriel just let her stay at Adrien's house and there is NO WAY master fu gave her that miraculous. Come to think of it I don't even think that I saw a wolf miraculous in the miracle box. "She's lying and I'll expose her for it!" I muttered to myself. 

Unknown to me, my best friend Alya was listening in. "Girl, You gotta stop accusing people of lying just because they're close to Adrien. If you don't stop acting jealous one day you'll think I'm hitting on him!" Alya's lectures weren't helping. If she knew that I was ladybug she'd believe me in a second when I tell her that something is fishy. My mind wondered how Emma even got ahold of that miraculous in the first place. Could she be an ally for hawkmoth!? If that's true then why hasn't he used it before, and why was MY lucky charm talking to HER! It's never done anything like that before and while I didn't understand the full extent of its power I knew it definitely wouldn't support someone even posing as hawkmoth's ally. "I do feel like I've seen her before though. Do you recognise her Mari?" 

"Yes!" Alya looked at me, awaiting answers.  Wait I can't say that! Then I'll have to tell her I'm ladybug and that Emma is timber! "No, I know don't her and I've hever, never seen her before in my life. Where would I have seen her before, it's not like I have a secret and know her from someone else or anything!" Alya shot me a concerned look. "Heh," I breathed. 

"You're too funny girl," she giggled and I joined for the few moments it lasted. Once we finished, Alya spoke again. "Look, even if she is staying at Adrien house, which is a little suspect, His father must trust her. And Being able to gain Mr. Agreste's trust WITHOUT getting akumatized seems pretty dope." 

Maybe Alya was right, maybe I am being jealous of Emma. I mean, if Adrien's father let her and her siblings stay in his house then they must be either be extremely impressionable or dangerously persuasive. "Maybe you're right, but something about her just...feels off. You get where I'm coming from right?" 

I looked at my bestie for some reassurance on the situation. If I wasn't the only one who didn't trust or at least had doubts about Emma then that meant I wasn't crazy, right? To my dismay, Alya shut me down again. "I honestly have no clue what you're going on about girl, Emma's legit. Her story checks out, well going off of what I've heard. But," she sighed. "If you really want me to investigate, you know I'll do it for you." 

Alya..investigating! "Yesyesyes! THANK YOU... THANK YOU ...THANKYOU! You're the best Alya!" 

"Anything for my best friend," With that, Alya got up, walked towards Emma and from what I saw, assumed started to interrogate her. 

I, on the other hand, was going to try and get answers from Louis. He must know about Emma's identity, right? Otherwise why would she have mentioned him on alya's video on the lady blog? She's so careless! I huffed and headed over to Louis. He was standing near the locker room staring at Emma who was chuntering away with Alya by the stairs that led up to our classroom. 

As I got closer to Louis I saw he was talking to a blond girl coming down from the steel staircase. His focused fixed on her and I saw my opportunity to eavesdrop on their conversation. 

"Ah, she's so careless!" The girl moaned. 

"I know! If she had any less brain cells she'd be telling everybody the truth about us!" 

I need to get closer. I pretend to be heading to the locker room to get something. As I walked past the two they silenced. They don't want me hearing their conversation! This is proof of my suspicion! After I entered the locker room I quickly placed my ear to the door, unaware that anyone was watching me. 

"Charlotte we have to do something!" I assumed Louis was still talking to the blond girl; her name must be Charlotte. She sighed worriedly. "Hey, watch this." He put on a silly voice and I couldn't help but giggle at what he started to say. "Oh lOoK iM eMmA aNd I'm StUpId EnOuGh To TeLl EvErYoNe ThAt WeRe AcTuAlLy FrOm ThE—," 

"HEY MARINETTE!" 

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" I screamed so loud  that even Adrien winced at the volume. When my brain took in the fact that I had just flown half way across the room in front of Adrien. "Hey, madrien, sods wup... I mean what's up!" I causally leaned against the wall. Omg please don't ask me what I was doing, pleasedontaskmewhatiwasdoing! 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," phew, he's not going to ask what you were doing eavesdropping on Emma's brother and Charlotte. I sighed, freeing myself from the stress that my crush caught my listening in on someone else's conversation. "I just wanted to ask what you were doing. You seemed pretty content with that wall, is there some sort of problem with it?" 

When Adrien mentioned the wall I remembered what Louis and Charlotte were saying; I needed to find out more! "Yes I was just listening for hugs! I mean BUGS in the wall but there aren't so any that's good," I started to back away out of the room. I wanted to speak to Alya and tell her what I heard Louis say! "Anyway, Alya calling me I got to go now soo..." I headed out the door and mentally face-palmed myself for looking like that much of a DORK I front of Adrien. 

Emma has left Alya alone by the stairs and I saw the perfect opportunity to tell her what I overheard. "ALYA!" I yelled sprinting over to her. 

"What's up girl, you found some tea?" (OK, I HAVENT ADDED AN IMPUT FOR A WHILE BUT RE-READING THIS LINE IN EDITING LITERALLY MADE ME WHEESE! XD) Alya looked at me as I caught my breath. 

Standing up straight I answered "yeah, you!?" If Alya also found some info on Emma, maybe we could try and piece some of it together. 

"Well, I found out that she doesn't like to talk about where she lived before here but I can understand that...with her dad and everything." 

That made me even more eager to, as Alya would say, spill the tea. (OH GOOD LORD, SAVE ME) "I don't think it's because of her dad." Alya looked at my with a mixed expresión of confused and intrigued. "I overheard Louis and Charlotte, I think she's their sister, they were talking aboit it where they came from before."

"Well, WHAT DID THEY SAY?" Alya was more exited than I'd ever seen her. She loved mysteries and a real life person with a shady background would be the perfect thing for her to indulge in. 

"I don't know, I was......startled......by someone," I flushed pink with embarrassment when I realised how I left Adrien in the locker room. "They were teasing the idea that Emma might spill where they were actually from." 

"This is all too suspect. I'm with you now girl. Emma and her siblings have too much to hide and I still can't recognise where I've seen her from. Are you sure you've never seen her before?" As much I didn't like the feeling in my gut that told me something was off about Emma, I wasn't about to expose her secret identity. Who knows if her brother found out on accident or if She blatantly told him and something terrible happened because of it. 

"No, I'm sure I haven't seen her anywhere before." 

The bell rang for class so me and Alya parted ways. 

 As I walked to room 33 for art I realised I  wanted to know A LOT more about these guys. How Emma got a miraculous, how Gabriel just randomly let this girl and her family stay at his house, where they came from. There's was just too much mystery and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. It was a feeling in the pit of my stomach that she was keeping the truth from us. My mum always says that she gets that feeling when I'm lying to her so I guess I kind of had a 'Mother's Suspicion.'
