The next day, the FBI agents tried looking for the fugitive but knowing how well she can blend in the crowd with disguises, it wasn't easy to track down. Of course, one of the agents has been in school since that's where it all started, they checked but no sign of her. They checked the Beauty Divine company but no trace of her and it's now passed to a new CEO and director to run the brand. Investigators are still working on her records and history and so far, they were confused and nearly in denial to believe this person is the same for years and yet no single aging has occurred on her for years. It was as if she made lots of false relatives that never existed at all. No sons, no fathers, nothing. All just daughters. As if she was making stuff up to hide her real identity so no one would discover her immortality to truly exist.

"This Cerise is truly a mystery," The FBI leader said.

"And very slippery each time we are fooled by deception" The other agent and found one wig that was left behind.

"That cat was right. Our eyes can deceive us. We better get it to the lab to find DNA on it" The private investigator said

"That cat sure knows more about her than anyone," The agent said.

"I don't trust him. That look of his makes him a maniac rather than a hero" The other agent said.

Claw Noir being his usual self was hiding in the shadows to be away from the sunlight while sipping blood through the straw, just to feel refreshed or in his opinion, healthy as an undead trait.

"Heh, you look more comfortable in the shadows rather than get tan in sunlight. It's like you prefer to 'moon-tan' at night to be pale" Ladybug using air quotes as the opposite of daylight.

"Pretty much, Bugaboo" Claw Noir replied.

"You look deathly pale like the dead that never wanted some light," Ladybug said.

"Totally, milady. If I want to look undead, I can't look alive with tan" Claw Noir finished his drink.

"Right," Ladybug said.

"If Lila wants me, she's gonna have to get me. But I'm far too strong. I can't touch her either but she can't catch me quite well" Claw Noir said before sinking his fangs on a dead rat.

"So much for a powerful witch," Ladybug said.

"I bite like a bitch" Claw Noir said.

"Sure you do" Ladybug chuckled.

"I seriously do. You always assume I bite people's asses. I haven't bitten your neck but your arm. Totally big difference" Claw Noir said before throwing the dead rat away, "Plus, it bothers you when I have blood in my mouth"

"You do enjoy biting too much" Ladybug chuckled.

"You have no idea, milady" Claw Noir said.

"For a cat that scratches with its claws, I say you bite like a dog" Ladybug making fun of him.

"I bite like a vampire bat, milady. Bats bite you know" Claw Noir smirked.

"Really? What kind of animal are you?" Ladybug said.

"A wild and vicious animal to be more dangerous and badass" Claw Noir purred near her neck.

"Ohhhh..... getting feisty, are you?" Ladybug teased.

"Indeed, in a dangerous style," Claw Noir moves in the sunlight just so his sizzling body is more like he's smoking hot, "And very sexy"

"Ummm.... yeah" Ladybug blushed.

The feline moved in the shadows before he got burned too much, "Admit it, that metaphor was too much for you" He applied sunscreen on his face.

"Way too much, kitty," Ladybug said.

"Meow, am I a bad kitty or a badass bad kitty?" Claw Noir flirted.

"A badass one," Ladybug said while rubbing his fake ears.

"Puuuuuuurrrrrrrrr" He purred in happiness.

"You're kinda cute when you're not threatening," Ladybug said.

"Thanks" Claw Noir nuzzled on her.

"Awww.....is the kitty trying to be adorable?" Ladybug teased.

"I'm having this emotional need," Claw Noir said.

"And what emotional need is that?" Ladybug asked as she stopped petting him to test his reaction. She can see he looks upset that he wants to be petted more.

"Affection," Claw Noir said.

"Define affection" Ladybug torturing his mental needs.

"Being petted!" He begged to be petted.

"Alright, Kitty cat" She pets him more.

Claw Noir closed his eyes, purring. Ladybug rolled her eyes at how this anti-hero vampire cat could be so annoyingly needy like a cat. Obviously, it was adorable but still annoying to her.

"Can you be any adorable?" She said.

"More than you can imagine. Now then, I must go. I sleep during the daylight you know. Cats are nocturnal" Claw Noir said.

"See you later then," Ladybug said before swinging away.

"Heh, she reminds me of her" Claw Noir jumps to the next roof.

While coming through the mansion window, he saw Lila holding Felix hostage along with something in her hand which looked like a werewolf tooth to stab a victim to become a werewolf.

"Ah, ah, ah! If you move, he will become my new pet dog" Lila warned.

The dog Argos was too scared to even fight the witch and was too shaken up to do anything.

"Lila! You're crossing the line again!" Claw Noir snarled.

"I crossed many lines for over a century, Agreste!" Lila smirked.

"And still carrying on misdeeds by living yourself a liar! Face it, Lila! No matter how many people see through your deception, you always wanna eliminate them but you and the world will never trust liars like you! Me, Felix, Marinette, everyone you made enemies with, no one is loyal enough to love you because you're only good with infidelity and dishonesty!" Claw Noir points out why there's no remains of loyalty for her.

"None of that matters to me!" Lila replied madly.

"It matters to everyone! It's called manipulation which is why I never liked your pathetic lies, bitch!" Felix growled at her but groaned from being held tight, "You can turn me into a monster the same way you did to my ancestor, but monsters don't have loyalty to anyone!"

"Oh, we shall see!" Lila was about to infect him.

Claw Noir was very fast with his super speed when it came to time and space in the speed of motion. Felix really did foreshadow his fate but Claw Noir won't let that fate happen to his descendant cousin. He snatched the fang away and knocked Lila off him.

"Get rid of this damn thing!" Claw Noir instructed him to get rid of the fang.

"Yes, and take the potion," Felix said.

"I got one chance at this. Get your dog out of here too" Claw Noir said before tackling Lila before she had the chance to recover.

He grabbed the wand and broke it so she couldn't use dark magic, "That's enough! In case you haven't noticed, you have no protection!" He smirked since he already injected the anti-protection in her a second ago, holding the empty injection needle.

"NO! It can't be!" Lila gasps in horror.

"Yup, that's right. You like touching all over my ass, let's see how you like when I touch you!" Claw Noir tries to get close to biting her neck but she is too fast too, despite being useless without protection against a vampire, "What's wrong? Scared?!" Claw Noir taunts her.

"You should be scared when I kill that boy the same way I killed your father!" Lila threatened before kicking him in the groin.

"WHY YOU!" Claw Noir then punched her in the stomach, "That was very foolish to kick my nuts like that! You should've thought of how pissed I'll get before you murdered my father and almost tried to ruin my cousin's life!" Claw Noir yelled, unsheathed his claws, and struck at her.

"Agh! I thought of a lot of things at how stubborn you are!" Lila yelled before gripping his neck to choke him, not caring if he had no respiratory system to breathe.

Claw Noir grips onto her. his claws sinking into her, "I can bitch slap the hell out of you!" Claw Noir grunts but gets kicked in the face.

"I'm gonna enjoy tearing you limb from limb!" Lila clenched her fists.

"Wanna bet, bitch!" He morphed into a bat to use ultrasonic screech and Lila held for her ears in pain.

Morphing back to human he did a roundhouse kick at her. He did want to finish her but it was too easy for him. If the world is gonna see him as a monster, he's gonna need to see how much of a monster Lila is too. Starting at the masquerade ball for people to see.

"Get the hell out of here!" He demanded.

"I'll be back Noir!" Lila vanished in smoke.

"I'll be waiting," Claw Noir said, hoping she would because she knows how easily jealous she'll be at the masquerade ball. She is very talented to lie to everyone without getting caught but Claw Noir has plans to expose her to the entire world to see. Maybe with hypnosis, he can but he has to be aware if she's aware of that herself. And Marinette has been warned in case she tried something.

The feline grabbed the cape for he would be ready for revenge but also justice too when Lila fell into his trap, "The hunt has just begun" He said.

The dagger he kept, this would be the only magical weapon to kill her if she tried anything to harm innocent lives again. Especially to protect Marinette too who was also a victim of Lila's madness too. Felix, the descendants, himself, and everyone that Lila has done to ruin lives, her life will be ruined too since she has done enough for over a century to have her history of herself become a deception in her legacy.

"Your terror will soon be no more," He said.

Felix rushed in just to save his ancestor in case Lila tried weapons against a vampire's weakness, "Adrien, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah. I let her escape but it's only the beginning. The entire world needs to know who she truly is. An escaped con for over a century to get away with it, making her history and legacy into deception. And as for me, the real Adrien Agreste for them to hear what really happened to him" Claw Noir said.

"I just hope you know what you're doing with this plan. Lila has gone too far" Felix said.

"Exactly. Hopefully enough to stop lurking around with every one of your relatives and ancestors in cribs for years like a boogeyman coming out of the closets. The nightmare has just begun" Claw Noir said with a cold tone.

"I knew my foreshadow would come true. She nearly could've turned me into her monstrous dog. No offense, Argos" Felix said, and apologized to his dog and Argos just nuzzled his owner.

"You did a lot in your writing for years. Foreshadowing can be real in real life" Claw Noir said, impressed at how his foreshadowing can have an impact.

"Yup. So how are you gonna lure her?" Felix asked.

"In the masquerade ball. I can detect her scent. She can hide from humans but she can't hide from me. You said everyone always carries their phones, right?" Claw Noir asked.

"Of course" Felix nodded.

"And whenever they see something shocking, they record everything on their phones to post on social media?" Claw Noir asked again.

"Yes, they will," Felix said.

"That's what I want them to do. Actions speak louder than words. If my hypnosis on Lila doesn't get everyone to believe her, then my actions towards her will to reveal who we are" Claw Noir said.

"I hope Ladybug will aid you in this," Felix said.

"When there's trouble, she will. You came a long way to be a big boy for this" Claw Noir said.

"Yeah, A real bird of prey," Felix said.

"And what kind of bird? Did you forget that cats eat birds?" Claw Noir chuckled.

"I would say eagle," Felix said.

"I'm not sure about that," Claw Noir said.

"Oh, please. You the cat also have a weakness and that's an emotional need. Just don't let Lila try to drive your cravings into a frenzy. You got no control of that whenever you smell blood, it's like a drug addiction" Felix said.

"Like catnip?" Claw Noir guessed.

"Yes. Unless you want to look like a dumbass out there" Felix snickered.

"Ain't gonna happen," Claw Noir said.

"Then you better protect your ass," Felix said.

"I always have my ass in gear, Felix. You, however, were almost gonna become her new pet" Claw Noir said.

"I'm nobody's pet," Felix said.
