A girl in her blue pyjamas sat in the middle of the street, confused.

"W-What happened?" She asked timidly.

Her gaze soon found the approaching superhero. Finally it all clicked.

"O-Oh no. I was akumatised, wasn't I? I-I didn't harm anyone, did I? Please tell me!"

"It's okay..calm down.."

"Megan."

"Megan." He smiled. "It's not your fault and it never will be. It's Hawkmoth's who used you in your most vulnerable state. It's alright, and you didn't harm anyone. Don't be so hard on yourself."

"I-I'm so sorry. I let anger get the best of me."

"I wanted to meet her s-so bad. But when she didn't show up, I was so angry and upset. I'm so sorry."

Chat gently knelt down and held her shoulders, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Megan, I know how you feel. Ladybug is uh....sick. I'm sure she was looking forward to meet all of you today. But hey, there's always another time, right! It's not like we're going anywhere anytime soon. Besides, you got to meet me instead!"

Megan finally looked up, giggling slightly.

"That's right I did! You're right Chat Noir, I was being stupid. And don't you worry too, I know that she'll be alright in no time!"

——————————————

"You sure took your sweet time.", she said without looking at him.

Chat barely made it to surface, transforming in mid jump. Thankfully, he was able to keep his balance and avoid falling face first off the tower.

She stared straight ahead, looking down at the lit city of Paris.

"This sure brings back memories." She said to no one in particular.

"Who are you?" Adrien asked again.

"I believe that I already told you that."

"Behind the mask."

She slowly turned around, to meet his green eyes which were burning with fury.

"I thought that we're supposed to keep that a secret."

"I really don't want to play your games right now."

"Okay then."

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up.

"Chat Noir, do you know the civilian identity of the current Ladybug?"

"What does that have to do with my question about you?"

She gave an irritated sigh before speaking again.

"Just answer the question."

"What if I don't?"

"Well....then I'm going to assume that as a no."

She fell quiet again

"My name is Bridgette LeBleue. I was the previous miraculous holder."

Chat was frozen in shock. She was the previous miraculous holder?

"No you weren't!", a squeaky voice brought him out from his trance. Tikki flew out of his pocket and flew closer to Bridgette.

"I've never even heard that name before and I've been around for ages!How could've you been my holder?"

Bridgette just stared at the bug kwami hovering in front of her with mixed emotions. It was amusement and longing.

"Tikki." She whispered. Her voice was gentle and careful.

"It's been so long. How've you been?"

"Tell the truth! Why are you here? And what did you do to her?" Tikki shouted, her voice shaking slightly. It was like she completely ignored what Bridgette just said.

"You haven't changed at all. Still the same." She smiled.

"I can see that he did a very good job of wiping out my memories of you."

The next thing they knew, a black cat kwami flew in front of her and gave her a death glare.

"Stay away."

"Plagg." Her smile widened. "It's been so long, huh?"

"Don't do this Bridgette."

"So you remember me, huh? Well it's not like you had a choice to forget me anyway. Though I bet that you wish you could. But you won't be able to do that even if your life depended on it." She laughed.

"Plagg?" Tikki began unsurely.

"What is she talking about Plagg?" Adrien asked worriedly.

"Why couldn't they see you?" The cat kwami asked her.

She giggled, which sent a chill down the blond model's spine.

"Funny actually. You know, I'm just a corporeal form, who is connected to the miraculous. So I'm only visible to the holders and kwamis. I'm not exactly....human, you can say. More like a spirit. That's a why I'm not visible to the normal folks."

"Then why are you here?" Adrien asked.

"I'm here to move on."

"Move on?"

"You see, I did something unforgivable. And I have to correct it...to repent for it. And I've been doing that for a long while now...but I just never seem to succeed."

Suddenly her face twisted in frustration and anger.

"A-And I have to go through that again and again. A-And I c-can't do that-not again! It's too painful!"

She started shaking and Adrien, despite the situation, felt sorry for her.

"So I had to use her. She was my only hope."

"What did you do?" Tikki asked in horror.

"Right this very moment, she is experiencing my life, my adventures...and my mistakes."

Her expression turned dark and forbidding.

"You..oh no.." Plagg mumbled.

"Her spirit is taking in my actions. Experiencing my life. Once she goes through it whole, I'll be free. Free from this never ending loop of torture!"

"W-What?"

"I'm a Fallen." She smiled. "The only one perhaps. To move on, I have to be whole again. I have to be forgiven. But no matter how hard I try, I'm not being forgiven!"

She let out a frustrated yell and angry tears spilled out her eyes.

"I possibly couldn't hate my self anymore, but I had to to do. Use her instead of me. If it's her who commits those actions as me..then maybe...just maybe....I'll finally be free."

Despite her claims of hating what she'd done, a grin was visible on her face.

"I'll be free." She repeated.

"A-And what about her?" Adrien asked, scared of the answer. This woman was completely mad.

She smiled at him, but it was anything but heartwarming.

"Now now, Chanton, whatever happens to Marinette and her being is none of my damn business!"

Hey!

Sorry I'm late. Ik ik, very very late!

Ughh, it's just that I've been having such a bad writer's block and I'm losing inspiration to write. Tbh I've come so close of un publishing this book twice.
(Andddddd two years later this continues :))

But, I've decided to finish what I started so I can assure you that I'll not abandon this book.

But I'd really appreciate if you guys can help me out a bit with the plotline.

Please leave your suggestions for the story! Hopefully, it'll get my creative juices flowing!

If you liked this terrible, terrible chapter, please vote and share this story! I'd really appreciate the gesture.

I tried my best trying to continue the story without making it too dark. You have no idea how many times I had to change my choice of words and the sentence XD.

Well, hopefully I'll see y'all soon!
Biiiieeee
Belle💕
