Death and Despair

Ladybug and Cat Noir arrived at the Eiffel tower and began to search for the lucky charm and Kagami. Cat Noir searched through the debris but had no luck. Ladybug spotted Kagami a few feet from where they were and rushed over to her. "Kagami can you hear me?" She said frantically. Cat Noir rushed over and grabbed Kagami's hand, it was as cold as ice. "No, this is my fault." Ladybug said bursting into tears. "Maybe the lucky charm can help her if you can fix everything?" Cat Noir said hoping that this wasn't the end. "It's too late,' Ladybug said between sobs, 'She's gone." Cat Noir took Ladybug in his arms and they both mourned their friend. "How could my father do this?" Cat Noir said with angry tears in his eyes. "What could he possibly gain from hurting so many people?" Ladybug couldn't imagine how Cat Noir must feel right now. Her parents were loving, and kind and his father was destroying their lives. All of a sudden, a blinding light flashed into their eyes as they were surrounded by police cars. "Stay where you are! Don't move! Put your hands in the air!" Police surrounded them. Ladybug wiped the tears from her eyes and put her hands up. "Please listen to me, we didn't do this." The police captain approached Ladybug and grabbed her wrists cuffing them. "Our anonymous source says otherwise." He said pulling her to her feet. "Let her go!" Cat Noir yelled pulling out his stick and charging the officer. "Cat no!" Ladybug said. The police tased him and he fell to the ground where the police cuffed him. The police officer pushed Ladybug towards the car. She struggled to see Cat Noir, but the police were surrounding him. "Please don't hurt him he is badly injured." Ladybug told the officer. The officer shoved Ladybug into the car. That is when she saw him, a cloaked figure in a nearby alley. His eyes flashed with a bolt of lightning as it started to rain. She locked eyes with him, and he locked eyes with her. A sinister look came over his brow which sent a chill down Ladybug's spine.

Gabriel contemplated his next move. He considered attacking the Dupain-Cheng bakery that night but decided against it. He had a whole army of police officers searching the city for his son so that would do for now. Nathalie entered the room and sat down next to Gabriel. "So, what's our next move?" She said. "I am waiting for a report from the police as they may be close to finding Adrien." "What about Ladybug?" Nathalie said. "We will deal with her once we have my son." Gabriel said standing up. The tv was on and a report began on the arrest of Ladybug and Chat Noir. "Sir look!" Nathalie said. Gabriel sat back down and chuckled. "It looks like the police already did my job for me. I will call the office in the morning and will have their miraculous for sure."

Ladybug felt helpless as she sat alone in the backseat of the police car. She looked out on the rainy streets and wondered if she would ever see her parents again. She began to regret ever becoming ladybug. Her life would have been so much easier if she hadn't accepted such a big responsibility. This brought her mind to Cat Noir. She would have never met him, and she would have never been able to love Adrien as she did now. They arrived at the police station and the car door opened. "Let's go Ladybug." a stern officer said. She stood up and looked around for Cat Noir. She gasped when she saw him. He looked tired and probably had been struggling during the ride there. "Can I speak to him?" She asked the officer. He nodded and she walked over to him. "Ladybug listen to me," Cat Noir said weakly he held onto her arm and tears filled her eyes. "If I never see you again please take good care of this." He de-transformed and handed her his ring. "Don't say that Adrien we'll be fine. We are innocent and will prove it." The police took him away and the officer placed his hand on Ladybug's shoulder. "It's your turn dear." He held out his hand and she knew what he meant. She couldn't give him her miraculous or Cat Noir's, Hawkmoth may get his hands on them. "Please let me keep my miraculous sir, I couldn't give them up for anything." The officer felt bad for Ladybug. "Alright, you can keep them with you, but I'll need you to de-transform." She nodded "Spots off." She said and turned to Marinette again. He took her to a cell that was across from Adrien's and left. Adrien was finally asleep, and she thought she should do the same.
