Adrien's POV

My eyes began to water as I continued to look up at Ladybug, still on my knees. There was no way to get her back. She was gone for good... More like gone for bad. I wondered how someone managed to come up with that phrase. This wasn't in any way good. In fact, it was very bad.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears began to stream down my face as I began to sob uncontrollably. There was nothing I could do to stop it. It didn't care anymore if I was crying.

It felt like I was sitting there like that for an eternity. (That "eternity" was only 5 minutes) I decided that I should go home and think things through. I stood up to walk home only to be greeted with a few more tears. I started the sad walk home.

By the time I got home, my eyes each had a waterfall pouring out of them. I gave Plagg some cheese and transformed. I jumped into the window I left open for myself and landed on all fours. I detransformed and sat on my bed.

I kept thinking about Ladybug. What happened to her when cataclysm was used on her? I thought for a moment and then the answer punched me hard in the gut. Ladybug died.

"You know..." Plagg started, shocking me out of my thoughts.

"What? That Ladybug's dead?" I asked.

"No! She isn't dead!" Plagg announced. That lifted my spirits.

"Then what happened?" I asked. Now I was full of curiosity. Plagg opened his mouth to speak, but the little black kwami hesitated.

"She was absorbed into your ring," he replied. I became very confused. That didn't make any sense what so ever. I didn't think that it was even possible. If that wasn't enough, Plagg didn't even bother to explain to me what happened when I used cataclysm on anything.

I knew that whatever I touched was destroyed. What I didn't know was that those items were absorbed into my Miraculous. Then a really good question popped into my head. How did Plagg know?

"How in the whole wide world do you know this?" I asked. As soon as I asked it, I regretted it. I already knew that answer. They're kwamis for crying out loud! Get a hold of yourself, Adrien!

"I'm a kwami. I know about Miraculouses. I go inside them all the time," Plagg answered like it was obvious....and it was.

"I know. I was a stupid question. I have no idea why I even asked," I admitted.

"As I was saying earlier..." Plagg continued. "You know...she isn't gone for good." I perked up even more after hearing this.

"What do you mean?" I asked growing more curious by the second.

"She's only trapped in the Miraculous. Unfortunately though..." Plagg's voice trailed off. I needed to know.

"What?" I asked starting to become concerned. (Like he wasn't already)

"I'm not sure how to get her out," Plagg admitted. "But Tikki does!"

"Who's Tikki?" I asked.

"Ladybug's kwami," he replied. "I actually do know something about it. It's a very long procedure. It involves both Tikki and I. That's all I know."

I wanted to know more, but I looked at the clock and gasped and I saw the time. It was getting late. I needed to patrol. It was gonna be very uninteresting without her.

Ladybug's POV

I started to walk around a little. Then Plagg flew behind me. There was a bright flash and I shielded my eyes as not to be blinded. When I opened my eyes, Plagg was gone. It was now white instead of black.

I was confused for a second. Then it finally clicked that Chat Noir had detransformed.

I turned around saw a wall. I didn't even know it was there until I did. I walked towards it. I stopped about 8 feet away from the wall because I heard something outside of the ring. It was quiet so I walked even closer and stood about 8 inches away from the wall.

Then everything became louder. I could make out what everyone was saying. It only sounded like one person at first. Then I heard Plagg's voice. It was a short conversation, but I listened intently.

Then I heard whoever it was start crying. I knew exactly why. He thought I was dead. I thought that I would die at first, but that's definitely not what happened. I ended up in the one and only Chat Noir's Miraculous. I figured it was better than dying, but I wanted to get out ASAP.

A while later, there was a flash of light and I saw Plagg fly in through the wall. I jumped back from surprise.

"Aaaaaah!" I screamed. "You scared me!"

"Sorry, kid. I was just doing what I usually do. Like, almost everyday," Plagg explained. Then I noticed for the first time that he was glowing. Wow. I was really being unobservant.

"It's fine," I assured him. I looked back at the wall and realized that there was a huge window and four smaller windows above it. All five of them had a green uh tint to them. Then I realized it was a paw print. I also realized it was the pads of his Miraculous.

Then Plagg flew back out. There was a flash of light and it became white instead of black once again. The windows disappeared.

I decided that I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and I was gonna do it. Unfortunately, I didn't have a clue as to how. My guess was that I should probably think about that.

I sat down and I started thinking about how to get out of Chat Noir's ring. Hours passed and I still couldn't think of anything. I didn't have one single idea.

Then Plagg flew in, scaring me again. I blocked the blinding flash and again looked over at the windows. I was guessing that Chat Noir was going on patrol.

I walked back to the green windows and watched what was going on outside. It was like watching a movie. Then an idea popped randomly into my head. I could talk to Tikki about this. At the moment, though, I was alone...

And that's chapter two! I hope you're enjoying this book. I know this isn't what it's like inside a Miraculous and that that isn't what happens with cataclysm. I honestly don't care. This idea just popped into my head, so I wanted to write it. Please comment, vote, and enjoy! If you follow me, I will follow you back! Bug out! 🐞
