Chapter 10: Lucky Charm

Chat Noir's P.O.V.

I scrambled from rooftop to rooftop, glancing behind to see Ladybug chasing me. She was gaining, and fast.
"Come on, come on" I muttered to myself. We were almost there.

Seeing the abandoned warehouse nearby, I choked back the emotions that threatened to overwhelm me. I had to stay focused. One wrong step and my plan would fail.
"Stay still you mangy cat!" I heard Cleanser's slave snarl.
Now on top of the roof on which this had started, I stopped and turned to face her.

"Here I am, catch me if you can!" I smirked. She only growled in return, immediately attacking me. I dodged all of her blows, as nimble as, well, a cat. I could see her patience running thin. It would be only a matter of time before she called on her-
"LUCKY CHARM!"

Before it landed back in her hand I extended my baton, grabbed it, and pulled it back towards me. It was a red bike lock with black spots.
I attempted to leer at her and dropped down into the warehouse, only just dodging her yoyo viciously whistling through the air in front of my whiskers.

I ducked behind a crate. Soon after, Ladybug slid through the hole.
"Come here, kitty kitty".
To hear her call me by her pet name in such hate-filled tones almost broke my heart. Constraining my tears and forcing them back, I took a deep breath, steading my hand.

Ladybug snarled out again,
"I know you're hiding here you cowardly cat! Just come out an-" I leapt out and threw the bike lock, boomerang style, towards her. It wrapped round her and locked with a satisfying click. She glared at me with detest. Feigning indifference, I smirked,
"Looks like this situation is tied up".

I observed her desperate attempts to get out, Ladybug struggling against the bonds whilst swearing and cursing my name, each phrase stinging me like a slap.
My smile faded and I forlornly gazed at her, whispering,
"I promise I'll fix this M'lady."

Then I turned, twirling my baton, and leapt away with a grim smile. It was time to face the big bad boss.

*******

(Sorry for the short chapter. I've been very busy recently so haven't had as much time to write.
I was also just too lazy to write much description/action so yea 😅
I figured you guys would prefer a shorter chapter with a more recent update.)
