Adrien's POV:

       As Adrien struggles to sleep he wonders if he did the right thing by Marinette to hide her in the secret room.  It is not like anyone else knows about it other than him.  The last thing he needs is for her to wake up there and freak out.

     He eventually falls asleep with Marinette on his mind.  He sighs in his sleep since he loves her, but is not sure how long he can keep her hidden. 

      Adrien's  Nightmare...   

     "You can not take her from me, please I beg you," Adrien says.

       "Sorry, Adrien, but she does not belong here,"  Someone else remarks.

        "How could say this about Marinette? " Adrien asks.

       "She is strange, perhaps even a threat to us all,"  The voice replies.

        "She the one I love!" Adrien blurts out.

        "Love, you do not know anything about it boy," The voice scoffs as he pulls her away from him.

        "Adrien, do not let them separate us, please!" Marinette pleads with him. She looks afraid.

        "No, take me, but leave the girl," Adrien screams.             

        "To bad the decision is final," The voice states with a smirk as they drag Marinette far away from him.

      Adrien moans in pain since he was hurt when he tried to stop them from taking her. He feels sad to know he failed her.  It is all his fault she is gone.  He weeps as he recalls the face she gave him the day they came for her.

      End of  Adrien's nightmare...

         Adrien calls out in his sleep in the real world, "No, Marinette!  Please do not harm her, I love her!"

        It seems the nightmare troubles him in his sleep.

            Marinette's POV:

               Marinette remains asleep but senses Adrien feels troubled. She is not sure how or why she can seem to communicate with him in this way.  She thinks what is happening to me?  To us.

               At  3 am, Marinette wakes up inside a small room not sure how she got here or why she is in it.  She notices it looks rather cheerful for a cell. She is glad that it is not a dungeon so then it must be somewhere safe. She smiles at the notion that Adrien has kept his promise to keep her safe.

          She is about to go back to sleep when she hears Adrien call out in his sleep. She thinks oh, the dear lad is afraid.

          Marinette removes the earrings, places them carefully in her pocket, and begins to fly. She finds the way out of a small crack in the door that leads to the secret room.   Once out she sneaks over to Adrien's bed.

             "Adrien it is okay, I am quite alright," Marinette says softly.

              Marinette hears him moan and sees him move his lips. She listens closely as he speaks.

 She thinks love it is fine, trust me I am okay.

          Adrien's  POV:

           Adrien's eyes suddenly open up so that he looks around himself in confusion.  It is then he realizes he is in his room and in the bed.  He is glad that the place he thought he saw himself in was just a bad dream.  He begins to wonder though was it real?

          "Marinette?" Adrien asks.

             "Yes, I am here," She replies.

            "How did you?"  Adrien starts to ask her.

               "Shh, I heard you call out in your sleep, so I flew in here to see if you were okay,"  Marinette explains.            

                "Marinette, please do not let them take you," Adrien pleads with her.

                "I promise not to go anywhere without you,"  Marinette tells him. 

                   Adrien hugs her and sees her cheeks turn pink.  He knows she is happy to be with him as he is with her.

               Marinette's  POV:

                 Marinette stays by Adrien's side until he falls back to sleep around 4 am.  Then, she flies back through the crack into the other room.  Once inside, she puts the earrings back into her ears, sees the door seal tight behind itself this time, and lays back on the bed. 

          Soon she drifts back to sleep as well with thoughts of a certain blonde-haired boy on her mind.

             Marinette has the most pleasant dream so later that day imagine how happy she is when she wakes up to find Adrien close by in the special area.

             Adrien's POV: 

              Adrien wakes up again at 7 am at the sound of Luka's car pulling out of the driveway. He thinks good thing too because now I can let her out of there.  He gets dressed, moves the dresser,  and pulls the door open.

             "Good morning, Marinette," Adrien says with a grin.

         "Good morning, Adrien," Marinette says.

          "So, how were things in here?"  Adrien asks.

          "It was lonely, but I had some nice dreams," Marinette states.

          "Good, glad to hear it," Adrien says.  He does not bother to bring up his bad dream again.

     Marinette's POV:
          "Adrien please turn around so I can change," She says.

          "Sure thing, sweetheart," Adrien says.

            Marinette sees him turn to face the direction of the doorway. She changes into the spare outfit she recalls she brought with her the other day. She fixes her hair back into a ponytail, adds a pink ribbon, and a flowery fairy crown.  Now good as new, she thinks to herself.

          Adrien turns around glad to see she has on a cute shirt, with some matching jeans, a jacket, and some pink slip-on shoes. He thinks wow, she did her hair nice today. He can not help, but think the crown is a nice touch too.

          "No one else can see the flowers other than us and other fairies," She tells him.

          Marinette exits the small space with Adrien not far behind her. She watches him close the door, and place the dresser back in front of him. She smiles as they head downstairs. 

          Narrator's  POV:

            The two eat cereal for breakfast along with some oranges and have some milk to drink.

               Suddenly, Marinette's face falls when she sees a small figure outside the place. She thinks no please go away.

          Adrien notices something bothers her but has no idea what it could be though.
