I know what is coming. What we are all waiting for, the eruption and the feeling that everything is just wrong, off. I always knew Lila is a liar, but who posted this video?
But most importantly, who was watching us that much to post that?

The screen shows the back of Adrien Agreste and Lila's head. Adrien Agreste stares forward as Lila stares at him. I never seen Adrien so angry. The video shows:

"I warned you once already, Lila, but you didn't listen." Adrien says, "You hurt my friend, Marinette, and that is not okay."

"Me?" Lila says innocently, "Hurt Marinette? But she not the one—"

Adrien interrupts, "I don't how to prove you lied, Lila, because you're good at it. But you'll have to come up with another lie just as convincing, only this time it approve Marinette's innocence."

Lila has a cruel face and she says, "Why would I do that?"

"Because we are friends aren't we?"

The video turns off and we all sit in silence, just waiting for one of us to erupt. Mr. Damocles comes in and says, "So tell me what you learned."

We all sit silently just staring at the principle. Everyone of us just sitting there and thinking about everything. Every lie Lila possibly told. The person who had the will to post that video, revealing every last of Lila's facade.

My eyes fall on Mr. Damocles as I wait for everyone to just crack and I wonder what happens now. Mr. Damocles clears his throat as he says, "If you aren't going to raise your hands, I am going to call on one of you." Mr. Damocles pauses and then continues when no one raises their hands, "Alix, so what did you learn?"

"That Lila is a huge liar!" Alix says angrily.

Then it happens, the class erupts. Everyone is talking over everyone, but all I can do is stare straight in head of me. Mr. Damocles then shouts, "Everyone be quiet!"

The class then immediately becomes silent as Lila speaks up, "Mr. Damocles the video was just awful, and so hurtful towards me. I don't who could possibly be this cruel to post something that hateful against me. Do you guys really believe that I would lie to you? Lie to my friends?"

"Yes." Alya says standing up, "I can't believe that you threatened my best friend! If you lie one more time I am going to come and give you a piece of my mind!"

Mr. Damocles then says, "Class calm down."

After Mr. Damocles watches the video for himself, he says, "Marinette and Adrien did this really happen?"

We both nodded our heads as Lila says, "It didn't! How could you? Thinking I was the liar, when you are lying yourselves?! Do you all really hate me this much?"

Lila begins to cry and I turn toward her and feeling just a tiny bit bad I say, "I am really sorry, Lila, that the video got posted. It was utterly awful, but those things did happen and you are a liar. I won't lie to the principle, he deserves to know the truth."

"I am sorry that video got out too, Lila, but I agree with Marinette." Adrien says behind me.

"Lila, you're a suspended for one week for threatening Marinette and lying to us all." Mr. Damocles say.

"Mr, Damocles, you can't! It isn't my fault!" Lila says continuing to cry, "How could you all do that to me."

"I am sorry, Lila, but the evidence stands against you." Mr. Damocles says and continues, "Now for the rest of you, whoever posted that video please come forward and your punishment might not be as bad as Lila's."

I am curious who posted it, but no one moves. Everyone just sits here and stares at each other waiting for someone to move. Anyone to move.

"Fine." Mr, Damocles says, "Have it your way. All of you will be on cleaning duty after school, until one of you comes forward and admits that they posted the video."

"Mr. Damocles." Chloe says holding up her phone, "I don't think that my daddy, the mayor, would approve that his daughter would be cleaning."

"Fine, everyone but Chloe will have cleaning duty until someone admits their crime," Mr. Damocles says, "End of class. You may begin your cleaning duties."

After cleaning tirelessly with mops, buckets, spray bottles, and rags, I am relieved to be finally home. Since Mrs. Bustier was sick and the video we watched didn't have anything to do with schoolwork, I barely have any homework.

I sigh as I finish my homework and happy I can finally start on the design I have been wanting to do for days. It is this beautiful Chat Noir themed dress.

I have been receiving a ton of design ideas from Chat Noir, recently. Maybe it is because Chat Noir is someone inspirational and has unique stylish choices for his suit or maybe because I have been a obsessed with black fabrics recently.

Who knew Adrien Agreste would look so good in black?

I would love to see Adrien Agreste in his own Chat Noir costume. Adrien would look so handsome and not just cute. He would look utterly adorable with those cat ears, a tail, and kitten eyes.

I sigh dreamily just thinking about it. I pull out my favorite black fabric for my Chat Noir themed dress. I begin to sow. I hum just excited to see the finish masterpiece and what a piece of cliche and some thread could turn into. A beautiful dress.

I continue to sow and I hear a pound against my balcony. I freeze but then ignore it, must have been the wind. Then someone is knocking on my trap door. I stop my sowing and stand. I look over at Tikki, who is munching a cookie, as she just shrugs.

My heart thumbs as I think who could possibly be on my balcony?

I grab an umbrella and I head up to my balcony. I slowly open my trapdoor and see nothing. My heart calms down as I say, "See Marinette? It is nothing just your crazy old self."

Then flick of blue appears and she says, "I did not mean to scare you, but it is urgent."

"Mayura?" I say and I clutch my umbrella harder then I laugh awkwardly, "Why are you coming to me? I am just clumsy old Marinette."

"Sure you are." Mayura says and she has a smile on her face, "I know you are much more than that."

I continue to laugh awkwardly. I look from side to side, hoping that Mayura knows. My heart seems to beat rapidly as Mayura looks at me. Does Hawkmoth know too? If he does know, then I have to give up my miraculous and never see Tikki or Chat Noir ever again.

"You are Ladybug, I followed you trying to warn you of something when I saw you transformed." Mayura says and my heart seems to stop.

Suddenly, I feel naked. I am neither clumsy Marinette or confident Ladybug. If I am not either one of those, who am I?

"What did you come to warn me about?" I ask shyly unsure how to act.

"Hawkmoth has gone too far." Mayura starts and she looks like she is blinking against tears, "He desperately wants something for himself, and for the people he loves, but it can only happen with the both yours and Chat Noir's miraculouses."

I look at Mayura curiously as she continues, "I have come to warn you that Hawkmoth has released an akuma more powerful than imaginable. It can't be controlled not by Hawkmoth, not by anyone. It is on the loose and Hawkmoth won't release it from his grass because of it's power, because it has the chance that it might be able to stop you and Chat Noir. The akuma is damaging himself and the one he loves and I can't let him go any farther."

"Can you tell me who Hawkmoth is?"

"I can't." Mayura says as her voice cracks, "I think my loyalties will always belong to him, but don't worry I won't reveal your identity."

"Anything more you can tell me about the akuma?" I ask as I begin to stress at the information.

"Yes, one more thing, the akuma takes many forms." Mayura says looking at me with a serious expression in her eyes, "Trust no one."

A/N
If you can see I just edited all three chapters of my book to different names and a vocabulary word at the beginning. I think it is extremely cool. What do you think?
I am working on a new cover! I was wondering if any of you could send me pictures of Miraculous doing with Hawkmoth and Mayura and akumas or a picture of birth Ladybug and Chat Noir! Please send to me because I am having a hard time trying to find pictures.

I get distracted by marichat! They are so cute!

Vote and comment! I love to see your opinions, even if they are bad.

-mirculously out!
