Adrien was still confused by that actress woman coming here to have everyone admire her and it's been less than a week now that everyone is not even slightly worried about the missing children.

He and his lady have killed 3 witches and the townspeople haven't even paid attention to it, especially since they found 5 children.

He can still remember his human life as a kid with his parents as he visualizes his flashback memory of his younger self of the forest that used to be beautiful and how his mother taught him the wonders and magic in nature.

He smiled softly but shook it off that he couldn't dwell in the past anymore. He jumps from tree to tree like a cat before landing on his feet, glancing at the claw marks on the tree, possibly a bear to sharpen its claws.

"Might as well" He shrugged and extracted his claws to sharpen them up.

Slowly he scrapes the tree with his claws. While thinking about his curse, he never once killed a human but he fears that the more he gets older, the more his tendencies rise. But being with Marinette was like her beauty tamed him for years from ever becoming a monster.

"She's the princess anyone would love in fairytales," He thought.

A deadly poison arrow startled him but missed and when he saw it was an African Witch with African cultural clothing.

"DAMN IT! YOU WOULD MAKE A FINE FUR COAT LIKE A LION!" She tried to fire her arrow again.

"Not a chance!" Adrien runs on all four.

"Get back here you brat of a beast!" The African Witch chased him.

Adrien then hides to ambush her. He needs to think about how to get close to her without getting shot.

"Are you half blind? I'm only partially a Werecat with no entire black fur!" He taunted.

"You're still a monstrosity!" The witch said.

"So are you and your sisters!" Adrien moved so fast to tackle her, "I can roar than do meowing!" He let out a growl like a Lion.

He unsheathes his claws, ready to strike. But then a Panther tackled him down, growling at the cat man who would be no match since he's not entirely full Werecat.

"ARGH! You want a catfight? You got it?!" Adrien growls back.

He kicked him off and roared fearlessly to intimidate the big cat, "ENOUGH!!!" He roared so loud that the Panther backed down.

"Don't underestimate me! I'm not just a beast and a man!" He turns to the witch.

"He is my sweet and kind kitty" Marinette sneaks up behind the witch and stabs her through the heart.

"AAAAGH!" The Witch looks down seeing the blade pierce her.

"My kitty is not a monstrosity!" Marinette plunged it out of her.

"Her beauty tames the beast within me," Adrien said before roaring at the Panther to get the hell out of here as it ran off.

"Easy there, tiger. No need to get scary" Marinette scratched his chin to calm down.

"Mmmmm" Adrien purred.

"There's my happy kitty," Marinette said.

"Oh, Marinette. What would I be without you?" He held her hands.

"Just an untamed beast" Marinette blushed.

"Puuuuurrrrr" He begged to be petted again due to this emotional need.

"Do you have to be this adorable all the time?" She asked and scratched the back of his head.

"Hell yes" Adrien closed his eyes.

"Oh, kitty. What am I gonna do with you?" Marinette said.

"Keep me?" Adrien teased.

"If you behave like a good kitty cat" Marinette scratched his chin.

"Of course" Adrien nuzzled her.

"Jeez, you really have too much emotional needs" Marinette chuckled.

"I can't help it, Milady" Adrien replied.

Later they managed to find the lost child but when they gave him to his mom, his mom was too focused on the Italian actress.

"Excuse me!" Adrien lost patience.

"Your kid is here!" Marinette waved her hand in front of her eyes.

"Mom?" The child said.

"Look away, kid," Adrien said before pinching the mother with his claws.

"Ow! What did you do that for?!" The mother exclaimed.

"We rescued your son and he was trying to get your attention" Marinette glared.

"You were?" The mother looked puzzled.

"Yes. You're welcome that we found him" Adrien said, feeling ungrateful that this mother barely ever felt excited to have her son back.

"Let's go, Kitty" Marinette said after the performance was over.

"I have a feeling that the actress has something magical," Adrien said.

"I don't know. Everyone always cheers for performances" Marinette said.

"Yes, but they wouldn't ignore their kid" Adrien pointed out.

"It does seem very strange. Did you smell her scent if she's a threat?" Marinette asked.

"I did but it's like she doesn't have a scent. It's impossible. Perhaps she doesn't like fragrance" Adrien said.

"Strange," Marinette said.

Adrien smells Marinette and her scent is sweet like macaroons, "Your scent is there as I remember all the time. That Lila person does not have a scent. Everyone has a scent" Adrien said, confused as to how one person cannot have a scent.

"True. It's like every person takes a bath too much to wash off their scent" Marinette said before entering their home.

"Of course. But we need a keep an eye out on this Lila" Adrien said.

"I agree but what if we are wrong? I mean her accent doesn't sound very Italian" Marinette said.

"No, only like ours," Adrien said.

"For years of being bounty hunters, we have learned every witch's weakness. We've been to Germany, London, Spain, and Italy, we haven't failed at any mission" Marinette said before handing him a bag of fish.

"Exactly Bugaboo" Adrien caught it.

"Besides, your enhanced senses never lied to you. You can't smell underwater" Marinette said.

"That's right but I do have night vision for the dark" Adrien picks up one fish to eat.

"Plus, your weakness is chasing reflected light dots. You still don't like water but you can still swim. You hate the rain but can still walk through it. Whenever you see a mouse, you chase it" Marinette listed his weaknesses.

"That's right" Adrien replied.

"Do you know how many times these witches want you alive?" Marinette asked before finishing her fashion design.

"A lot but many want me dead," Adrien said, munching on fish that he enjoys a lot for his cravings, he let out a belch, "Sorry milady" He chuckled nervously.

"Heh, can you imagine hunting fish in the ocean?" Marinette chuckled.

"Yeah, one day maybe," Adrien said.

"You know, we did defeat rare witches that can look normal but their reflections in the mirror can't hide their true form. It's as if mirrors can't lie" Marinette finished her design.

"Yeah, they may deceive our eyes but not the mirror" Adrien walks up to her.

"And that's another reason that not only witches are dangerous but humans can be too," Marinette said.

"Not all are, milady" Adrien held her close, "When I was a human kid, my father had no patience to teach me to stay away from the world around me but I was just a kid and I did not understand his ways. That's why I left him because he was not the same when my mom died"

"The same night we met," Marinette said.

"Exactly. But if we are right that Lila is something else, we cannot get obsessed with her, especially with her....ambitions" Adrien said.

-

Lila Rossi was indeed something else than just an actress. She wore a wig the whole time and no one else could see through that.

Inside her coach she puts it on a coat hanger, "Those witch hunters are too oblivious"

For that, she never came from Italy or a performance as it was all a lie, "So those two witch hunters aren't affected by my performance?" She remembered how Adrien and Marinette were not affected, "Well that cat man is one mistake of nature and that girl is just like her mother"
