Chapter ten: Sneaking Out

I hid behind the pillar while I tried to figure out how to bypass the security guard. I wore a disguise, not something dramatic, but something that would have humans a harder time to recognize me. I needed a distraction, but what could that distractions be?

"What are you doing, Human?" I yelped when I faced none other than Lila. Freaking fantastic, it never seemed that luck was on my side.

"Marinette, is that you? Why in the world are you dressed like that, and in that God awful sweater no less?" Lila scrunched her nose and gaped at me like I had lost my mind.

"You have a Christmas tree knitted on there, human, that is so tacky and the greenish color stands out too much!" She ranted like she knew a lot about fashion.

I did have a good sense of fashion, I wouldn't be caught dead in this, but Bridgette made it for me three Christmas ago. Let's just say it was tradition to wear it for our Christmas shopping trips, which made it more memorial.

"What do you know about fashion, Rossi?" I hissed out because I knew the sweater was ugly. However, it was no excuse to be a bitch about it, except to maybe laugh internally like a considerate person.

"As a matter fact, I'm the brand fashion designer of LuLaRoe, so I'm sure you could understand my high knowledge," I stared at her wide-eyed for her proud statement.

LuLaRoe, God, just even buying a pair of the design was expensive. The fabric was so smooth like silk, also the designs had its own radiant personality, and the many lines were so complex like a labyrinth. I idolized the designer, I unhealthy worshiped her glamorous ideas, it just never occurred to me that Lila Rossi was her. A huge part of my admiration for her died a little when I found out she was such a snooty bitch.

"I take it you didn't put my initials together, well, humans minds are more mentally challenged," Lila commented casually, even though she personally offended me with an insult.

"Yes, that's right, humans are so mentally challenged. Vampires, on the other hand, like yourself... are narcissistically challenged." I snapped heatedly at her before I looked back at the security guard.

"Oh, so the damsel in distress does know how to fight her battles, how intriguing!" Lila mocked behind me, even though my back was turned, I could tell she was smirking at me.

"What's even more intriguing, you're trying to sneak out," Lila whispered in my ear before I stared at her owlishly.

"I shall be the distraction you seek, since I'm such appealing upon the eyes," Lila taunted, making my eyes widened further.

"Why do you want to help me?" I asked with heavy suspicion while Lila grinned slyly at me.

"Isn't it obvious, you're leaving, which I wanted you to do from the very beginning. Now then, you wait right here, while I'll go distract Grumpy Octavian," She winked at me before she now stood flirtatiously at the security guard.

I quickly bypassed them when Lila captivated him with her bedroom eyes. I held in my gag at them before I walked outside to the morning light. Many emotions hit me at once when the sun bathed my pale cheeks. I've been outside before, the academy didn't fully treat me like a hermit, but I've only seen the pale moonlight in the sky. I put on my winter coat, then snuggled myself into it like a turtle going into its shell, and I made a dash for it. I breathed out the cold air, almost like a dragon puffing out smoke, even though the sun shined brightly with warmness. I scanned my surroundings, then seeing the big iron gate, and knew that I couldn't climb over it. This place is high security, so it's no doubt that the gate was electrocuted. Luckily, I came prepared, since Bridgette gave me protective gloves and boots to climb it. The perks of having a slayer cousin.

I stayed in the blind side of the security cameras before I began to climb up the tall gate. I've always liked climbing, especially as a child when I used to climb up the monkey bars. Once I landed not so gracefully on the ground, instead, flat on my face. I stood up hastily, texting Bridgette that I made it out, and began to head to the direction where her car was parked. I didn't dare to look back, if I did, my guilty conscious would make me grovel back to Adrien.

I'll be back before he wakes up, what could go wrong?

Adrien jolted awake with his whole vampire senses heightened out. He hesitantly touched one of his fangs, which sharpened suddenly. Adrien knew it was still early in the morning, but it was never too early for a vampire to feed. He knew the bloods bags won't work, he really did try to depend on those, instead of Marinette's addicting blood. His father and so many others already ridiculed him of his martyr act. However, Adrien was so afraid he would hurt her, given that her DNA held fae in her system.

He groaned as he finally rolled out of bed, making a detour to his Lady's bedroom. Adrien decided it was better not to knock and just walk in unannounced. Even if he did knock, it's less likely she would answer, and would most likely throw a pillow at him for interrupting her beauty sleep. Marinette wasn't a morning a person or he should say a night person. He would just say that she didn't like to be disturbed from her sleep. Once he walked in the dark room, he froze at the spot, when he saw that his purrincess wasn't in bed. He frantically looked around the penthouse, but no sign of his Marinette. He hissed and growled when he couldn't hear her soothing heartbeat throughout the boarding school.

Adrien couldn't grasp any of his rational senses, it was all primal instincts. Suddenly, he tilted his head like a cat, and chuckled darkly.

"So the purrincess escaped from her tower, no matter, I shall find her," Chat Noir said to himself before he went back to his bedroom.

He looked upon his dresser and found his green ring that winked at him. He lazily put it on his finger, glancing at it with a devious smirk. This ring was sworn secrecy between the Agreste family, since it was the only thing that allowed a vampire to go out in the sunlight. Only him, Gabriel, and Felix had one.

"Hold on Princess, you're cat in shining armour shall find thee..."
