Chapter 25
Lila staggered into the woods, she was incredibly weak and sore.
She had managed to escape from Chat's grasp by the scraps of her fingers.
She had only barely just made it out alive.
Lila had a hunch that Chat Noir was upset over failing to save Marinette, but she didn't know that it would lead him to kill.
Lila's plan had been working so far up until that point. She was supposed to tear him down until he was completely vulnerable, she didn't expect that to turn into a murderous rampage.
Chat was too strong, she saw something in him that was definitely not there before.
Lila paused, her eyes widening as the purple butterfly appeared in front of her eyes.
"Where do you think you're going?" Hawk moth spat, his voice ringing throughout her head.
Lila frowned
"I-I'm weak. I can't fight him...He was trying to kill me." Lila explained, her heart racing.
"We made a deal...get me his miraculous and find Ladybug..." He replied.
Lila shook her head.
"If I go back, he'll kill me..." she breathed. "I...I didn't realize that Marinette could have been a better distraction. I didn't think that her death would have driven him to kill me. I'm not strong enough to face him. He's gotten through my recruits, and he seems indifferent to my attacks. Every attempt I've made he just grows stronger..."
"I don't care-" Hawkmoth interjected.
"I gave you the power to manipulate time and mind. I asked for the miraculous in return. Don't fail your end of the bargain..."
Lila's eyes widened.
Her power to manipulate time and mind.
"That's right..." she breathed. "My power. I can bring Marinette back..." her heart raced at the realization. "I can undo her death. I can coerce ladybug out of hiding, and Chat would be too preoccupied with Marinette he wouldn't have the heart to kill me..."
"You're not going to do anything-" Hawkmoth retaliated. "You are going back for Chat's miraculous the way we originally planned it. We use Adrien's pain and sorrow to get him on our side to fight against any other possible hero's that come against us. You will get me Ladybugs earrings and you will not use your power to manipulate time until I say so....and if I have to make any sacrifices by any means necessary, then so be it..."
Lila fell to the ground, her eyes beginning to well with fear.
"B-but, if I go back... Chat Noir will kill me. He will murder me, and I don't mean it sarcastically. He's trying to fucking kill me because of Marinette."
Hawkmoth chuckled.
"Whatever becomes necessary..."
Lila couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Hawkmoth was going to do anything he could to get their miraculouses, even if it meant Chat killing her in retribution for Marinette.
Her hands gripped into the dirt, tears beginning to pool at the edges of her eyes.
Did Adrien end up being right all along?
Hawkmoth was only using her, and once he got what he wanted, he would dispose of her.
Even if that meant death.
