An Assassin's Rose: Heroes

Chapter 102: Weredad

Sitting down on the couch, Tom held the pink rose in his hands and looked down at it with a dejected and confused look.

He just can't comprehend it; how could Chat Noir not love his daughter?

Marinette is one of the sweetest, kindest, and prettiest girls in the world. No guy in their right mind would reject Marinette.

"How can he not love Marinette? Everyone loves Marinette!" He said to his wife.

Grabbing Tom's hand, Sabine smiles warmly at her husband. "One day, Marinette will meet another boy. She'll love him with all her heart, and—"

As the Akuma enters the apartment, Tom rudely shrugged her hand away. "He'll break it too!"

Standing up, Tom continued, "Never again! I won't let anyone break my daughter's heart again!"

It was then at that moment that Sabine had spotted the Akuma and only had time to gasp as it entered the rose.

Becoming silent, Hawk Moth's mask appeared on Tom's face.

"Weredad. I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to protect your daughter from anything that brings her harm. In return..."

Smirking evilly, Tom stated, "I'll bring you some Chat Noir pâté."

From his lair, Hawk Moth smirks evilly at that idea. "That, and his and Ladybug's Miraculous, would be perfect."

With the deal now set, Tom along with the entire apartment were enveloped in the purple and black miasma.

Gasping, Sabine takes several steps back before looking at where her husband was standing.

In Marinette's room, she was leisurely sitting in her computer chair when she noticed the miasma rise from the floor and cover her room.

"What is this?" She questioned, getting out of her seat she held her hand out to Tikki.

"Tikki!" She called out to her Kwami, who quickly tried to reach her, but she was blocked off by the miasma. "Marinette!"

Outside, Chat Noir was walking away from the bakery feeling really good about himself.

Humming happily, Chat Noir muttered, "Well, all's well that ends well."

Hearing an explosion and feeling the ground rumble beneath his feet.

Chat Noir turns around and stared in shock as the miasma bursts through the roof of the bakery.

Where it formed a giant, thorny, stalk-like stem growing from the apartment.

"On second thought I could be wrong." He muttered; he quickly runs towards the building. "Marinette!"

Emerging from the stem, Tikki flew outside and looked around before she finally looked upwards.

"Marinette!" She exclaimed, having no time to lose, the Kwami quickly flies to reach her holder.

In the living room, Sabine is staring at the giant stalk before her.

However, it wasn't with shock or horror, instead unbridled fury was coursing through her veins.

Gritting her teeth, a murderous look entered her eyes. "Hawk Moth!" She hissed, her voice sounding low and dark.

Clenching her fist, her hatred for the villain grew as she makes a promise to herself.

A promise that if she is ever given the chance to find out his location, she will use it to kill him.

Suddenly, the door is slammed opened by Chat Noir.

Genuinely taken by surprise, Sabine reacted on instinct and brought out a hidden dagger from under her shirt and threw it at Chat Noir.
