Chapter 1:

*Marinette's p.o.v*

'This is it', Ladybug thought as the Akumitized victim pulled the rope tighter, as she and Cat Noir dangled from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Her miraculous beeped for the penultimate time, she knew that this wasn't going to be good.

"It's ok m'lady, I won't look." Her partner reassured her.

"Thank you, cat." She replied softly. Truth be told, it wasn't her partner that she was scared of knowing, it was the rest of the world. Reporters, journalists, bloggers and civilians had all gathered down below and Ladybug felt for the first time in her life, regret. If only she hadn't used her lucky charm.

Marinette was taking her usual Sunday morning stroll through the park next to her house when she had noticed Adrien talking to the Akumatized, she panicked and transformed using her power to try and make sure that Adrien would be safe and sound. Once Lucky Charm had been called, from it a water bottle fell gently into her hands. Luckily the victim was cat like (what she assumed a Cat Noir fan). So she aimed the water at the villain and, as predicted, reacted and jumped a mile out of her skin. She then ran over to Adrien to make sure he was okay, he reassured her and they parted ways. She then pulled out her yo-yo and ran over buildings to where the Akuma had escaped to and greeted Cat Noir as he pulled out his baton and threw it at the victim. But neither of them where quick enough and the villain took the opportunity to toss a rope around both of them and dangled them over Paris' landmark.

"I will finally know who you are, Cat Noir and we will be together for ever!" The girl shouted, with an evil cackle following.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but love can't be forced." Cat Noir responded in a tone which Ladybug had never heard come out of her partners mouth before.

"Get us out of these ropes, Cat Noir." Ladybug yelled to her partner a few meters away, she knew she should've released her transformation before going to meet the villain again but she didn't want to hear Tikki whinging about using Lucky Charm on a non-important situation.

"Cataclysm!" Cat noir called on his power and reached for the ropes but they didn't budge. 'Why didn't it work?' She thought to her self as she realised her Miraculous had started to beep telling her she only had three minutes left before she transformed back. Hawk Moth must've been doing some work on his villains tactics.

She began to fidget as her time was running out, the frazzled girl looked around for anything she could use to escape but nothing would work. She knew the world would no longer trust her, Marinette was only a teenager, after all. Under the mask she was clumsy, she was nothing like her alter-ego and she knew for sure that Tikki would be so disappointed in her. She screwed up big time.
