I couldn't fight the darkness that consumed my mind and actions

Adrien walked into the hallway just in time to see a new villain on his doorstep. The teenage boy ran back down the steps and locked himself in a closet, giving his black kwami the ability to escape his over-shirt.

"I was just about to eat my breakfast!" Adrien rolled his eyes at the futile comment.

"You can eat when we come back. Plagg!"

The kwami groaned. He was really looking forward to eating his camembert before homeroom.

"Claws out!"

Marinette was just closing her locker when she heard the cold voice of an akumatized victim.

She threw herself into her locker and transformed with no objection from Tikki.

"Oh, Felix!" Nemesis called in a sing-songy voice. "Don't cower now!"

The evil voice of her maker echoed through Nemesis's skull in a threatening tone that nearly all citizens of Paris could faintly remember. "Do not play this game long, I still expect the Miraculous."

"I know," the girl in the dress smirked. "I know exactly who has them." There was silence on the other side for just a moment.

"Do you know who Ladybug and Chat Noir are?" The eagerness in the man's voice was clear.

"Perhaps," she remarked. The small part of Samantha that had to suffer through this movie felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. While she knew she had no control, Hawk Moth now knew she knew who Ladybug was.

"Is that so? Who are they?" There was impatience in the man's tone, one that Nemesis disliked. She clicked her tongue a few times as she continued to walk around the school in search for the object of her anger.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. All in good time." She turned the corner and only whispered what she said next. Though the volume was low, the intensity of the phrase sent a wave of panic down the Miraculous holder's spine. "Mr. Agreste."

Ladybug saw a figure approaching behind her, and instincts completely took over. She twisted the teen's arm, quickly releasing once she heard the grunt of her partner.

"Chat! I am so sorry!" The blond only waved it off as he stretched his aching arm.

"Don't worry about me, Milady. Have you heard from Cochon?"

The red hero did her best to shake off her slight irritation. Being as this was Ladybug, her way of "trying to hide her irritation" was rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. "No, and this isn't the time. There is a student that has been akumatized, and you ask me if I have heard from Cochon?"

Chat Noir leaned on his baton and raised an eyebrow. "Aw! Is Bugaboo just a 'spot' jealous?" She allowed her yoyo to fall on his head.

"I couldn't care less. I'd just rather focus on saving Paris, then some girl." Ladybug began scrolling through her contacts, her mood taking a dip when she came across the picture of a turtle.

"You are right, Milady. Do you know who it is?"

"I heard from Alya that Samantha had a run-in with another student," Ladybug closed her eyes in an attempt to erase the memories of the summer. The bug-themed heroine looked at her partner with urgency clear in her eyes. "Samantha knows who I am," she confessed.

Chat Noir pushed aside any jokes he had at that moment, putting her safety above all else. "Then we need to get rid of her akuma as soon as possible. Do you have a plan?"

"I'm working on it."

"FELIX!" Nemesis wore a white dress with a skirt that extended only to above her knees. A belt with large bead wrapped around her waist with purple thread from the middle bow hanging gracefully. The victim wore black leggings that bore a strange resemblance to sweat pants and a white veil that extended down to her knees. Starting from the young girl's feet, a sleeveless fabric formed into a vest spin-off with a shade of lavender to set it apart from the remainder of the outfit.

"What did this poor kid do to Hawky?" Nemesis turned her head to the blond in black that spoke.

Adrien transformed into Chat Noir.

Faustine transformed into Chat Vetre.

Nemesis bent over with her nails digging into her pained head. "It hurts," she grunted angrily.

Chat Noir saw the anger in her, now purple, eyes. He offered her a cautious hand.

"Ladybug? I love you."

She hissed and retracted once more. The emotions Samantha held for Chat Noir at the beginning hadn't diminished as well as she had hoped.

"Where's. Felix?" Nemesis gave into her anger and took a powder from her pocket and blew it into Chat's wide eyes.

As soon as the damage had been done, Ladybug same out of hiding and wrapped her yoyo string around the legs of the girl that had begun attempting to run from the scene.

"Runnin' so quickly?"

Nemesis growled, then threw her legs behind her; throwing Ladybug off her feet. "I've got to make someone pay their dues." She stood up, then continued her search.

"Ugh. She got away," Ladybug reported to her confused partner who seemed not to have heard her. He was walking around, as if acting out a scene by himself. "Chat?"

"Milady? I, I love you, too." He hugged the air; his cheeks flushing a bright light.

"Oh, Felix!" Sam sang. "And you said I was a 'hero'. Ha!" She looked under the desk. “Do I look like a hero to you?"

"What's wrong with you that causes you to get upset when you intervene?" She couldn't quite place the voice of the object of her rage.

“You attacked my friend,” she spat.

“Sam, calm down!” She spun around at the sound of Marinette’s voice.

“Tikki, spots on!”

Nemesis let out a low growl as she pushed the futile vision from her mind. She had a job to do: Find. Felix.

This was BEFORE I watched the new episode, so if it turns out that he is actually really nice, I won’t really make any changes because I am too lazy. :P

“Sam! We can help you!”

She stood upright and scoffed. “Like you’ve done so far? You’re just a selfish teenager that only cares about her own little secret getting out! You couldn’t care less about anyone else other than your own skin!”

Ladybug’s blue bell eyes filled with water. “That, that’s not. . .” She couldn’t finish it. As Marinette looked into the purple eyes of her formal friend, it was clear that there was only one way this would end. She pushed her emotions aside and spoke with as threatening a voice as she could muster, “What’d you do to Chat Noir?”

Nemesis cackled as she cupped out a handful of purple sand from her pocket and fiddled with it. “I just gave to him the future he deserved.” Ladybug gasped in response; though she didn’t know exactly what had happened, she could only assume the worst.

She tackled her enemy by the waist, throwing both females out the door and down the steps.

My name’s Daizzi, and I’m a kwami!

"I write the ‘Cat-ablogue.’"

In those few moments where Nemesis was distracted, Ladybug was able to swing a few solid punches before ripping the pockets off the victim’s dress.

Almost instantly, a purple akuma flew free and was captured by the red heroine with a swing of the yoyo.

"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma!"

As Samantha rushed to her homeroom with her head looking to her feet, she couldn't ignore the visions of Hawk Moth, a.k.a., her friend's father! No, even worse, CHAT NOIR's, father.

I wanted to tell you sooner, Adrien. B-But-

Crash!

Samantha had run straight into Marc as he also tried to walk into his classroom.

Hair clips.

"S-Sorry!" The young girl could hardly hear his apology over the piercing headache.

By this point, she had come to the conclusion that her head only hurt when the vision was not set in place. If only she knew what the hair clips meant...

Note from the Author:

I am sorry for the small length, I just wanted to get this published.

ALSO! I am almost done with the cover!

I am so sorry that the quality, (and quantity) has gone down. Writer's Block SUCKS AND CAN JUMP OFF A CLIFF!

Would you want me to continue writing in this format, or would you rather me write in script format?
