I pulled on the yo-yo and managed to untie us both. The black cat fell to his feet, I, however, fell onto my head. The yo-yo was still attached to the tree so I was tried to pull it down. It would not budge.

"So you're my other half then. Nice to meow-t you partner!"

"Yeah!" I respond pulling the yo-yo harder, it finally releases from the tree and tumbles down, right onto cats head. He rubs it and I can't help feel a little guilty. He hasn't tried to kill me yet, I'm going to take that as a friendly sign.

"I'm chat noir, what's your name bugaboo?"

I blush from the term of endearment. Looking around and at my body I come up with a simple name for what I am.

"I'm Ladybug."

I hold out my hand to shake his, however he grabs it and pulls it into a kiss.

"Enchanted!" He exclaims.

What a lothario! I thought.

"Now, I know they say we should work together m'lady but I kind of have a plan I am working too at the moment. So please bid me adieu." He grabbed a large pole and began to extend it, then suddenly he stopped and turned around.

"I have this plan you see, and I need you to trust me."

He was off running and bounding through the trees as I stood completely still.

Those last words sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it. I begin looking for food when I found a blueberry plant. Taking another big leaf, I filled it with berries before making my way to sit on the top of a tree.

The berries were easily the best berries I'd ever tasted in my life.

Finally the rumbling in my stomach stopped, I tie my yo-yo around my waist and attach it to the tree. I need to try and get sleep whilst I can.

My eyes are fluttering shut and a calmness washes over me. I have no idea how long I've been sleeping. A sound awakens me and I realise it's the Capitol's anthem.

In the dark sky above me I see the faces of the fallen tributes. A picture of them in their Miraculous appears before it reveals the tributes face. My heartbreaks knowing families at home have been watching their loved ones die.

The Miraculous Games are not known for their peaceful deaths. More like violent deaths which haunt your dreams for years after. The anthem stops playing and the sky is dark once more.

The sound of silence is deafening. Not a single noise could be heard throughout the arena. Everyone must be settling down for the evening, and with that last thought I fall into a broken sleep.

—————————————————

The next morning is broken by the Capitol's anthem. They must want us all to wake up, I thought to myself.

I untie myself from the tree and lower down to the ground. Finding the bush were I got the berries from yesterday I collected more before heading to the stream. Berries and water for breakfast. I gave myself a little wash too. Feeling the dirt slide away from my face. Then, in a blink of an eye, a fireball shot past me.

I looked to where it had came from and noticed the forest behind it was all a blaze. I stand up and start to swing away from the raging fire behind me. Fireballs continue to fire and it seems I am being pushed back into the centre of the arena.

A scorching pain travels across my thigh and I let go of my rope, landing face first in a pile of soil and leaves. Screaming in pain I pull myself towards the sound of rolling water. Dragging my entire weight on my arms, I make it to where the sound came from and find the stream.

I continue to pull until I am fully submerged in the water. The pain eases slightly and the coolness of the water overcomes my body implementing a slight shiver.

Beginning to move back out onto the ground I hear chatting over the other side of the stream. Next thing I see Chat Noir appears through the forest and makes his way to the opposite side of the stream.

I study him as he bends down and begins to drink from the stream like a cat. Scooping the water up with his tongue. He relaxes back on the bank and spots me. His eyes widen and then he turns and goes back into the forest.

Only a couple of seconds later I see the rest of his gang appear. They spot me.

I scramble up and swing my yo-yo. Unfortunately with my leg in so much pain my aim isn't very accurate or fast.

I manage to get a few feet away when I have to stop and settle on a tree again. The pain I feel is blinding, my sight is not handling the pain or is my head. I feel like I'm about to explode.

Chat Noir and his gang appear below me. Shouting up to me. With the blood thumping so hard in my head, I can't hear what they're saying to me.

Next thing I realise is the bee's spinning top is aiming right for my body. I flick my yo-yo and deflect it. The power sends the spinning top over into an other tree and drags the bee with it.

"My turn." The dragon Miraculous shouted. Throwing a sword up towards me.

The sword soared past me before falling back down to the ground. It seems not everyone has gotten use to their weapons yet. Which might be the only way I can survive this evening.

"Leave her for now." Chat Noir walks to the dragon and looks up at me.
"She's got to come down at some point, we'll just get her then."

The others sound agreement and begin to walk off. Chat gives me one more look before joining the others.

I look down at my leg and notice how badly it is burnt. I open my yo-yo and look at the insides. There a screen with some details on it.

What happens if I press this? I find a button on my yo-yo with a needle on it that is filled with blood. I press it and a spray comes out of one of the spots. I direct it to the burn and feel a soothing sensation. Like magic, the wound begins to cover over with a fresh layer of skin closes on top.

I breathe out the breath I had been holding and lean my head back against the tree. I need to think of a plan and quickly.

A silver parachute descends from the sky and lands in my lap. I open the container and inside are pink and green macaroons.

"Thank you Fu," I whisper into the night sky and eat two of the cookies.

The group return below me and set up for the night. They have a fire blazing and what seems like a lot of food. I sniff and smell ... cheese?

Chat Noir is feasting on melted cheese and it smells bad. I guess it is something along the lines of Limburger or Camembert.

Something hits me sharply in the back of the head and I turn to see where it came from. I look in the tree opposite and see a fox.

"Look up." She whispers, and a soft, delicate voice floats across in the breeze.

I look above my head and see something buzzing. It looks like a nest of little akuma's.

I look back at the fox and she mimics to me about sawing the tree down. I look at my yo-yo and wonder how strong the string is. Climbing up the tree to where the nest is, I wrap the string around the branch and begin to saw into the tree.

It's working. I pull the string faster and can see it cutting through the tree branch. Suddenly it drops to the floor and attacks the snake. The others scream and run away. I lower myself down, and feel sharp pains in my arms. I realise I've been stung by the akumas.

I look at the snake akuma on the floor as the transformation drops. It reveals a girl. I think it's the girl from District 1. Her face is swollen and distorted with an eye loosely swaying from the socket. Her body is covered in sting marks with blood oozing out in a green colour. Her fingers are frozen in claws over her body as if trying to block the akumas.

My head starts to feel heavy and I vomit next to the girl. Everything is moving around me. I can't seem to find my centre of balance.

"Run!" A voice shouts to me whilst hands spin me around.

"Ladybug, you've got to go quick! Run!"

"Chat?" I question.

"Just go Ladybug, now!"

I try to swing my yo-yo but keep missing, so I begin to stumble away from the tree.

I can hear metal on metal behind me understanding that Chat Noir is fighting. I should go back and help him but his words were ringing in my ears.

Run, run, I need to run!

I stumble on my next step and fall down a hill. When I finally come to a stop everything turns black.
