A book opens and on the pages a story is told. Once upon a time, there lived a lovely princess but she was stolen away as a child by a wicked witch who placed a terrible curse on her which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked up in a tower guarded by a terrifying dragon. Many brave knights tried to free her from this dreadful prison but none provailed. As the years went by the lovely little girl grew into beautiful young woman and everyday she waited in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's kiss.
"Yeah! Like that's ever gonna happen!" Someone said closing the book. "What a load of-"
Also living in this land was a creature named Adrien. He was a hybrid, half human half cat. Now before you ask no he's not the offspring of a human and a cat. Years ago a group of humans messed around with gypsy magic causing them to merge with animals creating a new species.
Anyway he was one of the very few remaining hybrids in the world mainly because humans didn't like them. They feared them, were disgusted by them, and were always sending hunting parties to kill them. Some were killed others went into hiding.
Adrien's mother had died in childbirth and his father had abandoned him when he was seven years old. He was left alone to fend for himself not receiving kindness or a friendly face anywhere he went.
He soon got used to being hated by everyone so he built a house in the middle of woods and stayed there by himself. During all that time the lonely little cat boy grew into an embittered young cat man content with being alone. He scared away anyone that came near being what everyone feared him to be.
Tonight as he sat in his house he noticed an angry mob. "Oh boy! Here we go again." He sighed. He slipped out from the back door and crept behind them. "Show time." He whispered.
"You think it's in there." One hunter asked.
"Alright let's get it!" Said another.
"Hold on! Do you know what that thing could do to you?"
"Yeah. It'll grind your bones for it's bread."
"Actually that would be giant." They heard someone laughing. To their horror it was Adrien. "What hybrids do is much worse. They make soup from your skin, shave your livers, squeeze the jellies from your eyes. Actually it's quite good on toast."
One hunter bravely raised his touch to ward. "Back! Get back beast! I warn ya!"
Adrien looked at the torch unamused then rolled his eyes as he snuffed it out. Without warning he let out a fearsome roar that left the hunters shaking in their shoes.
"This is the part where you run away." Adrien whispered. They did exactly that without looking back. "And stay out! Shesh! Read the stinkin sign people!" He noticed a wanted poster that one of them had dropped a poster. "Wanted Miraculous tale creatures. Hmmm. Weird."
...
In another part of the woods, all Miraculous tale creatures were being rounded up and evicted. Dwarves, witches, fairies, nymphs. You name it they were all arrested.
"Give me that!" A guard said taking a broom from a witch called Juleka. "Flying days are over."
"That's twenty pieces of sliver for the witch. Next!" The head guard said.
Juleka was then loaded in a crate along with Rose, a fairy. Ivan, a dwarf (Though he was bigger than he looked), Jagged stone a wolf and Kim a pig man (though he wasn't fat.) Next to the crate were two cages that held a nymph called Manon and her mother.
"This cage is too small." Manon complained.
"Please don't turn me in! I'll never be stubborn again!" A cat named Plagg begged. "I can change! Please give me another chance."
"Oh shut up!" Said the old woman about to sell him.
"Next!" An old man placed a wooden boy with glasses named Max on the stand. "What do we got?"
"A living puppet." The old man said.
"I'm not a puppet! I'm a real boy." Max said and his nose grew long.
"Take it away!"
"Father please! Don't let them do this! Help me!"
"Next! What do we got?"
"Well I've got a taliking cat." The old woman said.
"Right...well that's good for ten shillings if you can prove it." The head guard said.
"Well go on talk." But Plagg kept silent.
"Well?"
"Oh he's just nervous. Talk you bone headed dolt!" The old woman said to Plagg.
"That's it! I've heard enough. Guards."
"No! He talks he does!"
"Get her out of my sight." The guards grabbed her and pulled her away.
"No! No! I swear! He's can talk!"
Plagg couldn't resist laughing at him unintentionally revealing his ability to speak.
"Uh-oh!"
"He can talk." One guard called.
"Size him!" The captain ordered.
He ran off into the woods. In his haste to get away he unintentionally bumped into Adrien. "Don't let them get me!" He said grabbing Adrien's leg. "Please! I wanna live!"
"Get off me!" Adrien said shoving him off.
"You there!" The captain called.
"Aye." Adrien said.
"Step aside! We're here for the cat."
"Why?"
"To arrest him."
"For what?"
"He talks, he's a miraculous tale creature. A freak of nature like you."
"Well that was rude." Adrien approached them. The guards shook when they noticed how strong he looked.
"I demand that you move aside or I will have to use force."
"Oh really? You and what army?"
The captain turned around to see that his men had run off. The captain then became scared and ran away.
"Thanks." Plagg said.
"Whatever." Adrien said walking away. But Plagg followed him.
"Man! It's good to be free."
"Now why don't you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends?"
"But I don't have any friends."
"Too bad so sad. Now shoo!" But Plagg just kept on following him. "Why are you following me?"
"No reason I'm just bored."
"Say what are you anyway, some type of genie?"
"No. I met him once so he grants wishes I'm way more impressionable. Plagg nice to meet you! Ooh what's this?" He said flying into Adrien's house.
"Hey don't go in there!"
"Nice place you have here. Got anything to eat? Like Camembert maybe?"
"Get out! Go on!" He grabbed Plagg. "Listen you I don't take kindly to trespassers now get out!"
"I like you kid, you've got spunk. What's your name?"
"Adrien. Now beat it!"
"Okay kid allow me to be Frank, the truth is I kind of don't have any where else to go."
"So?"
"Can I stay with you?"
"What?"
"Can I stay with you? Please."
"Of course."
"Really?"
"No!"
"Please! I don't wanna go back there you don't know what it's like to be considered a freak." Adrien looked at him with his eyebrow raised. "Well...maybe you do. But that's why we gotta stick together. You gotta let me stay! Please! Please!"
"Okay! Okay! But one night only."
"Oh thank you! So where do I sleep?"
"Outside!"
"Oh. Okay." He went outside. Adrien went in and shut the door. "Well he could use anger management."
