Chapter 25




Mainette's POV:


  The tower, which was once blessed with a warm, cozy atmosphere and was a place of comfort (despite being my prison for 17 years), was now somehow haunted with an unsettling air of death. The silence that came after Adrien had killed Hawk-Boss gave me a horrible feeling of dread as each second flew by. At this point, I felt like I was the only one who was still clinging to the little life that I still had left. Because the other 3 people who were sprawled out on the ground with me never gave any indication or sign showing that they were still breathing, 2 of them obviously dead. 

But Adrien? There was a nagging little voice in my head that told me he somehow survived Hawk-Boss's blow, but after remembering how much blood he lost I couldn't help but lose hope. 

And cry.

Since I barely ate or drank anything these past few hours, and didn't take any medicine to relieve my illness, my entire body hurt so much to the point where I could barely breathe. My head throbbed violently, my limbs enveloped in pain, my eyes ached, and my damaged throat left me voiceless. I couldn't even move, let alone raise my head. And as the tears continued to fall, it only got worse. 

My mind transported me to the memory of when Adrien had taken me to see the Miraculous Flight, and I almost smiled as I remembered how perfect our moment was...how our kiss was...how everything was. 

My tears instantly turned into sobs when I realized that from now on, I wouldn't be able to experience anything like that every again. My once fantastic life filled with adventure and freedom abruptly ended in such a terrifying way, and I began to regret not cherishing my freedom enough like I should have. 

I remembered that Mother Befana had told me that if my illness got any worst, I would probably die. 

I might as well die now.

There was no use living when I have no purpose, or no one, to live for anymore. 

"Oh sweet Juliet, thy tears are arrows slowly piercing my fragile heart as I calmly submit myself unto the hands of death..."

I gasped. Hearing Adrien's voice suddenly filled me with renewed energy and life. 

He was alive.

Oh my god, he was really alive. 

"Adrien?!" I tried to yell, but it only came out as a scratchy whisper. 

Adrien coughed before replying, "I'm okay. Just...hang in there."

 I tried to gather as much strength as I could and slowly began to crawl towards where he was laying. The entire process of inching my way towards him was agony to my limbs, but I kept pushing myself despite how painful it was. It probably took a few minutes to finally reach him, but to me it felt like an eternity.

My heart broke when I found him covered with blood, the dagger still pierced in his stomach. But despite this, his still had the nerve to give me the smile I had missed so much. He winced painfully when I pulled the dagger out from his stomach and threw it aside. I then placed my forehead on his, tears welling in my eyes. 

"You're so hot," he said quietly. 

"Do you really think this is the time for your jokes, you idiot?" I whispered.

"No I mean you're burning up. Bad. You really need to go to the doctor."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Bugaboo, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too..." my raspy voice cracked as tears slid down my face onto his. "I don't want to leave knowing I'll never see you again."

"So you plan on letting me see you cry before I die? Marvelous." He raised a bloody hand to my face and stroked my cheek. "Can't you at least smile for me?"

"No," I told him. "And by the way, this is completely your fault."

"Oh really? How so?" he asked before giving off another cough.

"Thanks to you cutting my hair, I can't heal you," I sobbed. "If you hadn't, then we would've been out of here hours ago. I could've healed you..."

"If I hadn't," said Adrien, his voice slowly fading, "Then that trash bag would've used you to his advantage. That's something th-that I wasn't going to let him do."

"Adrien, don't leave me. Please," I cried. 

Adrien's hand slipped from my cheek.

"Adrien!" I shrieked, grabbing his hand. "Please. Please don't go," I begged. "What am I supposed to do without you?"

"I have an idea...go to the freaking doctor," he mumbled. 

"I told you I'm not going anywhere."

"M'lady," he whispered, bringing his hand back to my face and stroking it gently, his eyes shining like stars. "I told you I wouldn't let him get to you even if it meant sacrificing my life."

"But you--"


"Shh. It's gonna be okay. You don't have to be locked up in this tower anymore. You can go wherever you want, do whatever you want. You can be with Alya and Nino and be happy."

"Is it really worth it," I asked him, softly brushing his golden curls away from his eyes, "when you're my only source of happiness?"

Adrien didn't answer. Instead, all he did was smile. 

 I rested my head on his shoulder, arms wrapped around him. He pulled his own arms and cradled me against him, and despite knowing that he barely had minutes to live, I was comforted by this little moment we were sharing. 

Our last and final moment between us. 

"Marinette?" Adrien's asked faintly. 

"Yes?"

"You're the girl of my dreams."

For the second time that evening, my heart broke. Hearing him say that to me was everything I could ever want.

If only he could have the chance to say it to me everyday. 


Flower, gleam and glow

The words escaped from my mouth before I realized I was attempting to sing. I knew it wouldn't work. My hair had been cut. There was no chance of saving his life. There was nothing I could do to save him. But for some reason, I just kept singing. 

Let your power shine

I continued to sing as the lyrics flowed from my lips and tears from my eyes. The memories of Adrien and I together, travelling through the woods, exchanging jokes and insults, laying on the ground and looking at the stars, spending time at the Flight Festival with Nino and Alya, and finally, the Miraculous Flight, flooded through my mind. It was difficult to try and not breakdown right then and there, but instead I just kept singing. 

Relieve us from all harm

Please be my Lucky Charm

For hardship, give me ease

For weakness, give me strength

Relieve us from all harm

Please be my Lucky Charm

My Lucky Charm. 

My voice finally cracked and I finally gave up, not after realizing that my entire body was suddenly glowing with a faint red light. I lifted my head from Adrien's shoulder and looked at my hands, my eyes widened with shock. 

My entire body was glowing red. 

I don't know if it was my instinct, or if it was just a hunch, but I slowly placed my hand onto Adrien's wound, and the moment I did, the light my body was enveloped in suddenly transformed into millions of ladybugs...only they didn't look like ordinary ladybugs. These were sparkling and shone a pink-ish red color. All of them swarmed around Adrien and covered his wound, and a second later they were shining so brightly I could barely keep my eyes open. Finally, they returned back to me and re-transformed into softly glowing light covering me. 

And then...I just stopped glowing. 

I don't remember what happened next. Because the next minute I collapsed onto the floor, completely unconscious. 








Yayyyyy I'm finally done! I don't know how or why...but I'm finally done :-)

Hello fellow Miraculers!

It's pretty miraculous how I was able to finally finish writing this chapter with everything that is going on in my life right now. Like...I'm so stressed its ridiculous. So many things are emotionally affecting me and I'm actually starting to have anxiety. 

But I'm starting to feel better after writing this chap...even tho it was a near-death scene. I guess writing Miraculous fanfics can be proven to be therapeutic :-)

Anyways, as always thanks for rollin' in and reading! If you liked this chap, please don't forget to vote, comment, and share.

Predictions, anyone? :-P What do you think will happen in the next chap? As you may have noticed, this fanfic isn't really going in the same direction as Tangled, so there may be a few surprises later on ;-)

I love you guys and can't wait to see you all in the next chap! Stay Miraculous!


P.S. ONLY 2 MORE CHAPTERS TO GOOOOO!!!! :-D
