Hide and Seek
Percy hummed to himself as he doodled on his note book. He was supposed to be taking notes on the periodic table of elements but he didn't feel like listening. Correction, he never felt like listening.
He was the only person who knew, that ladybug was the girl sitting in front of him. And did it bagful him? Put him in awe? Did he constantly think about it?
No. He didn't think it really mattered.
But Marinette did! She didn't know Percy well enough to know if he would spill the secret. She was fearful that he might tell Alya of most people. Knowing her, she would tell the entire city of Paris. And Valentine's Day was coming up! She kept getting more nervous as each day passes. She was already worried on how Chat was going to react. Should she tell him her feelings?! Knowing him he would be overjoyed but still!
Should she tell him Percy knew?! No. She'd have to explain why, and that would be hard to do without spilling Percy's secret. And everything that happened last night was over whelming. Tikki was a goddess?! How! When?!
Mrs. Mandelias (did I spell that right?) noticed that Percy and Marinette both weren't paying attention.
"Marinette! Percy! Would you care to come up to the board and explain exactly what happens when you put dry ice and liquid nitrogen together?!" She said in a harsh tone.
The two teens hesitantly stood up and walked to the board. Marinette had know clue what to right. But Percy knew the answer from experience.
"Just, don't put it in a lake." He said idiotically.
The teacher rose an eyebrow. Percy continued.
"It does not feel good!" Percy shivered.
"What on Earth are you talking about mr. Jackson?" She said sternly.
Percy remembered the time the camp kids had pulled a prank on him. He was in the water kissing Annabeth when they put the two together and froze the lake. Frost bite was not cool! (Pun intended)
Marinette used the last of her brain cells and scrawled an answer on the board. It somehow was correct by some miracle. The two were asked to sit down again and Mrs. Mandelias continued her lesson.

Adrien, Nino, Marinette, Alya, and Percy sat at lunch together again. Marinette was forced to sit next to Adrien like always. Her face looked like it was on fire she was blushing so hard.
"So, Valentine's Day is coming up wich also means... THE VALENTINES DANCE!" Alya squealed.
"Me and Alya are going together, so you guys are gonna have to find dates!" Nino said and grabbed Alya's hand.
"A-Alya! We were gonna go as friends!" Marinette stammered.
Alya gave Marinette an evil grin. She woar a face saying, 'Ha! You gotta go with Adrien now!' She made a misfire opus smile and looked at Adrien, then back at Marinette.
"No. No! Don't you do it Alya. Don't you do it! I swear I'm gonna-" Marinette was cut of by Alya.
"Hey Adrien! You should go with Mari! You know as friends." She winked at Marinette.
"Um... Sure I guess if she wants to." Adrien said though he was already going to ask her.
"Of course she wants to!" Alya laughed.
"What about you Percy?" Nino changed the topic.
"Yay you noticed I was here to!" Percy half joked. "I don't think I'm going, to be honest."
"WHAT?!" Alya screamed and every one in the cafeteria looked at her suspiciously.
"Well my girlfriends back in America. And I don't really want to third wheel any of you guys." He replied.
"Ok man, whatever you say." Nino said casually.
They ate silently for a few minutes. Marinette descended to break the silence.
"Percy, you always talk about your girlfriend, but you never actually talk about her."
"What do you mean?"
"Like, what's her name? What do you guys do for fun. How'd you meat? What's her personality?"
"Well, her names Annabeth. We met at camp. It's a summer camp and we go to it every year. Well technically it's open year round."
"Yes, go on..." Alya poked.
"Um... She's really pretty. Golden hair kinda like Adrien's. She pulls it into a pony tail. She hates make up. One time the girls from the Aphrodite cabin tried to dress her up... It did not end well. (Kinda bloody)" he said the last part under his breath.
"Hold on, hold on, Aphrodite cabin? Like that Greek goddess?" Nino questioned.
"Yeah... We uh, the camp... Um, the cabins are named off of Greek stuff, soooooo, yeah."
"Cool" Adrien remarked.
"Back to Annabeth!" Alya said interested.
"Yeah right. She's... Smart. Like, inhumanly smart. Which is weird cause she also has dyslexia like me."
"She also has dyslexia?! That's so cute! You to are dysabled together!" Marinette said happily. Percy frowned at her.
"I uh... I mean... That's not a bad thing! I mean. Just ignor me. He he." Marinette stumbled.
"Annabeths nice. But I haven't seen her in a few weeks so I miss her. It's... Fine though." Percy went quiet. The rest of them decided not to ask him about it anymore.
The bell rang and they went to their next period. The were doing silent reading as a class (wich was weird) when suddenly they heard a blood curdling scream.
"What was that!" A boy named Kim asked.
Their was a tapping at the window. Percy turned to see a girl. She was floating in the air. Her skin was completely blue and her hair was white, pulled into three pig tails. One on top of her head. Her smile went from ear to ear, literally. She woar goth like make up making it look like her eyes were bleeding out. She had a blue and white striped dress that looked like the sharp of a fairy princess dress Percy had seen in the store. She had a pink balloon in her hand as well.
Lazy drawing 😑 this is basically what it looks like.
"Hello kids! Wanna play a game?" She said, her voice sounding like like it was on helium.
"Every one hide! Like we do in drills!" Mrs. Bustier yelled and the kids rushed out the door.
"Ooh! Hide and seek! What a wonderful game. I'm seeker!" The girl said creepily. "Better hide quickly! I'm coming!" She said the last part in a tone that sounded like a thousand knives being sharpened.
With that she pressed a single finger to the glass window and it vanished. She stepped inside. As she did so her dress and body started unraveling like Cheshire Cat till she was gone. Just a mouth in the air. The mouth cackled as it vanished as well.
Percy could here her coming toward him. As she got closer the air around him got colder.
"Your not very good at hiding, are you?" She said and he felt her smile. Suddenly her form started coming back, books and pencils flying at her and molding and blending into her shape.
Her hand reached forward. She cocked her head to the side and grinned, bearing her thin sharp teeth. Her hand touched the side of his cheek, grabbing it. She lead forward so that her head was by his ear.
"Run" she whispered. Percy broke away from her grasp and ran. He ran as fast as he could. He heard her laughing a cold hard laugh behind him. Percy didn't know where to hide. Perhaps in his lockers.
No. He wasn't one to hide. He was a fighter. He spun on his heals and stopped. The girl was somehow gone. But she had been chasing him. Right?
The lights went out. Percy drew his sword. Riptide. He waited.
He waited for her coldness.
He waited for her breath.
He waited for a sign she was coming.
...
...
...
Her pale face appeared right in front of him as he blinked. Just her head. Her face was all he could see.
Then the balloon. It rose next to her smiling face. Her eyes pure white. The Balloon turned around. On the other side of it, written in sharpie with horrible handwriting was the word, YOU. An X under with it.
"POP! Goes the weasel!" The girl sang the one line of the nursery rhyme. As she did, she poked a needle into the balloon causing it to explode.
She started laughing and grabbed Percy's neck.
She was strong. Percy was sure that if she kept squeezing, his head would pop like the balloon. He slashed at her arm with Riptide. But nothing was their.
Her hand was floating, as was her head. Everything else was darkness.
A red yoyo flew out of no where and hit the girl in the eye. She let go for just a moment. Long enough for Percy to run.
Ladybug and Chat Noir came into view.
"I can't see anything. Did I hit her?" Ladybug asked.
"Yes you did my lady." Chat could see in the dark with his night vision.
"Looks like we have two new players! How fun! Now it's a new round! Hide, I'll count to ten!" The girl sang.
Then she flickered away like a bad light.
"1"
Ladybug and Chat Noir froze.
"2"
The voice was all around them. They couldn't pinpoint where it was.
"3"
Percy came back. He beckons Chat Noir forward and whispered something in his ear.
"4"
Ladybug made a shuttered breath. Chat grabbed Ladybugs hand and she jumped.
"5"
Chat followed Percy bringing Ladybug with him.
"6"
They broke into a run, heading for the locker room. They needed to evacuate the school and most kids were hiding here.
"7"
They tried to open the door but the kids wouldn't let them in. They told them who they were but the kids were to shocked to acknowledge them.
"8"
Ladybug used her lucky charm.
"9"
The three huddled in a circle back to back in a defensive pose.
"10"
The lights turned on and everything seemed normal. Ladybug looked to the side and saw what looked like blood, painted onto the walls saying, " ready or not, I will find you!"
