Purple Bell

Somehow, he's hurting me.

I don't know how, but he is.

Squeezing my insides, I can barely breathe.

It's almost as if he's here with me, choking me, taking my life away.

In my moment of distress, the akuma seeps into me, overwhelming me with its darkness, until I cannot resist, no matter how much I want to.

Hawkmoth has taken over.

He's in control of me now, I'm his servant.

I'm unaware of anything that's happening now, the akuma is doing everything.

I silently apologize for everything I'm about to do, and hope Ladybug, and Paris will be able to forgive me. =============================You went to bed fairly early, Cat Noir hadn't show up at his usual time frame, so you assumed he'd asked one or both of the girls out, and one had said yes, and he was too busy with them to visit.

Not even a text though, and that was very unusual.

You brushed it off and went to sleep.

Only to be awoken by a loud thud, like someone had landed on the roof.

You think exasperatedly.

You get out of bed and creep to the window, then look out, hoping to say hi to Cat Noir after the person gets back to normal.

What you see makes you gasp, and your heart stops for a moment.

On a roof not far away, is Ladybug, fighting a much lighter version of Cat Noir.

But it is him.

And he's fighting well.

I can barely hold my ground, I never expected this to happen, I wish I could take it all back.

I know I hurt him, but I don't know why I did it.

I'm not that mean on a regular basis, at least, I don't think I am.

And it's only been this week, when I've been so mean.

And usually only when I've been transformed.

I wonder if it's something with my miraculous, or Tikki even?

I can't think about it now, I have to help my partner.

I think his akuma is in his bell, it's the only thing other than his eyes, which are an icy blue, that's not white.

It's purple.

"Ladybug. You hurt me, you said I don't deserve a miraculous! How could you say that to your partner? Maybe you don't deserve yours! So I'll be taking it!"

"Cat, please! I know you're in there, and I'm sorry! I don't know why I said those things, I didn't mean them!"

How am I still aware that Ladybug said those things?

And how do I know that she's being truthful about not meaning them?

I try to fight the akuma, but then I hear Hawkmoth speaking to me.

The pain was so awful last time, I don't want to go through it again.

But he does it anyway.

Squeezing me, as if I'm a doll.

I almost collapse, but the akuma pulses through me, and overtakes me again, and I once more loose myself.

His eyes flash green for a split second, and I know I'm getting through to him.

But Hawkmoth must have broken whatever progress Cat was making, because the ice blue returns, colder than ever.

"Just let me have your earrings!"

"No, Cat! Let me have your bell!"

"Why would I do that?"

"So I can free the akuma!"

He just snarls at me and reaches for my earrings.

I leap back, then jump to the roof of the next building to try and regroup.

"Ladybug! In here! Quick!"

I look down and see y/n, leaning out her open balcony door.

I quickly go inside and she shuts and locks the door.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO CAT?!" She immediately shouts to me.

"I, um, I..."

"You what!?"

"Imayhaveaccidentallygottenhim akumatizedbecauseIyelledat himthatIdon'tlikehimandthat heshouldjusttellhisfeelingsfor youtoHawkmothandhaveyou takenasbait?" I quickly say it all, and it probably all sounds like one word.

"You did what!?" Y/n says so I tell her, but more slowly this time=============================You stand there in shock, only half understanding what Ladybug said.

"I may have accidentally gotten him akumatized because I yelled at him that I don't like him and that he should just tell his feelings for you to Hawkmoth and have you taken as bait?" She says, slower this time.

Your eyes widen and you just stare at her.

"First of all, why would you say that?! Second of all, he doesn't have feelings for me..." You trail off sadly from the last part.
