✥ At Least Tell Me The Truth✥

✥ At Least Tell Me The Truth✥

"Stay back!" I managed to take out a knife and point it at the cloaked figure. The hood casted a shadow over his face, but the figure managed to corner me, the name 'Chat Noir' echoed through my head. This can't be him, after all of this time I went out looking for him with no result, only for him to randomly pop up and find me? The knife in my hand shook. "Put the knife down, Shadow" "N-No! You're not him!!" my watery voice yells. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't even find the energy to get up, the only thing I knew what to do at this moment, curl up and wait for the worst of it. My hand fell lifeless as the knife clanked against the metal flooring. I buried my face between my knees and broke down.

I crumbled(when the cookie crumbles :<).

I'm shattered(PiNk WaS nEvEr ShAtTeReD).

"Much better, see how easy that was?" I heard the rustling of his cloak right in front of me. I looked at his face, and alarm was all over my face. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you" my heart raced even faster, I should've ran. 

I shuffled to get up but held down by his grip, when did he go to the gym!? "PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN!! L-let me go-o-o!!" I sob out of breath. "Shadow look at me!" he tilts my face to face his and takes down his hoodie over his head. His hair was a bit messy,  and his mask was black with etched shining gold swirls centered towards the bridge of his nose, his skin was a bit pale, his cat ears were more life-like as they were furry and black-even his tail. But I looked straight into his eyes- red, I looked at his lips as the bottom of his fangs were gently poking his bottom lip. I....can't....move! (dude wouldn't you stare too?)

His lips slowly went towards the side of my neck. I can't....move. Come on y/n, snap out of it! You can do this! I heard the whisper of his voice, "I won't hurt you, I escaped, and came back here, to protect you" he suddenly jerks away. I quickly took my chance and scrambled up and took some steps back, still in shock. His clothing was different from the last time I saw him. It really was him, it's actually him. "...." "I know you have a lot of questions right now but, please let me explain!" he pleads.

"....Fine. It better be convincing or you'll might have a nice serving of garlic!" 

"Please don't...." he takes a breath, "The night of the attack at the party, I did as you told me to do of warning people of the attack and went back to the Eiffel Tower waiting on you. While I was waiting, this guy attacked me and I couldn't move for some reason, the last I remember was this really bad pain in my neck and I woke up upside down and I....that's all I can remember other than a conversation with him-"

 "With who?"

 "Dracula...the- the guy in the jacket thingy we both met!!" his eyes widen a bit as he just realized something.

"DRACULA DID THAT?! WHY HIM OUT OF ALL THE OTHERS?!" I face palm. "Chat, I-listen, the vampire who turns you is your master, you can hear him giving you orders through your mind-unless you rebel against him. That's just about the only way you can block him away" 

"So that's who's voice I was hearing?!"

 "I guess! I don't know how. I do know that they can't hear what you say through telepathy. Telepathy is the only way of communication of vampires from a far distance." I explain, carefully eyeing him. "I think I need to go back, I'm a danger to you and everyone else." 

"Chat! Wait! Maybe you could tell me their plans, and we both can fight them together!" 

"....How can I trust you?" his voice was rich with skepticism.

 "What do you mean by that?"

 "I found out a lot about you that you never told me" 

"Like what?!" I almost exclaim, almost scared out of my mind. If Chat found out about me, then the enemy knows me as well. What if they knew about the real me?! Chat walked closer to me. "You was lying to me the whole time were you not?!" 

"Lying about what?!" I step backwards as he continues stepping towards me. "Shadow, I think I already know. I had to realize it myself! You wouldn't be missing in action for two years, then all of a sudden when you pop up, these vampires start raiding Paris, ambush the ball, for a girl!?" he raises his voice as I bumped into a rail, seeing the bird's eye view of the city below, "It's not what you think!" 

"Oh it is. You never told me there was a princess, you never told me you was literally one of 'them', you never told me you knew the princess. Why did you have to hide everything from me?!" he yells. I could see a flock of crows fly away from trees as his voice echoes, it even made me jump.

His tall stature towered over me, "Those things killed and kidnapped so many innocent people for a princess. They're still looking for her.... We promised to never hide anything from each other. Remember?" his expression softens a little as his voice begins to break.

 I swallowed a lump that wouldn't go down as the guilt was eating me inside- out. 

The tears fell out one by one from my eyes, the moment I began to become emotional, he started to become teary-eyed. Small trails of blood ran down from his eyes.

 "I really want to tell you the truth, but I'm placing myself and others in danger Chat! How can I tell you when you're with them!? "

 "I never asked to be like this. You think I enjoy being this?! I have to hide from sunlight, I have to hide from everyone, and they think I'm dead, BECAUSE I AM! I escaped from that torment they call a mansion, just to find you. I wasn't with them and never will be with them" I never responded. Because what he was, was the truth, and the only thing that slipped out of my mouth was whimpers of my sobbing.

 "I'm sorry Chat. I-I know everything is my fault! But I know there is a possible cure to make you turn back to normal- I just need some ti-"

 "There is no time." his voice darkens, "Can you at least tell me one thing?"

 "....??" 

"Where did you come from? Is what I am believing, really the truth? You're a Hideling?" 

"....I need to go" I mutter.

 "Not until you tell me where you came from! That's something you can at least tell me!" his hand grabs my arm, the extra strength was noticeable. "I-

That's the end-of this chapter... (^._.)

The chapter title is listed twice as in you saying it to Chat and Chat saying it to you.
