Marinette in What's This Land

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Rabbit hole

Marinette's Pov

Should I tell her? I wonder to my self. Of course you should! She's your best friend, practically your sister! She can help you. Plus she is going to find out sooner or later, and I want to live. I tell myself. I accept my reasoning and turn to face Chloe, who's talking about the latest fashion line.

"Chloe" I say, nervousness seeping into my voice.

She stops talking and looks at me with concern, sensing my worry.

"I- do you remember that night?" I ask shuddering. She goes stiff but nods her head yes.

"Well Umm-" I choke out "I- I think th-that night, I got pregnant."

I look up and see through my teary eyes that Chloe is wearing a shocked expression.

Taking a big gulp of air and curling my fingers tightly around the seat of the wooden bench we had sat down in, and continued. "I had my suspicions, so I took a pregnancy test and, um, it was positive" my voice getting quieter with each word.

"oh, Mari" Chloe says in a soft voice not many hear from her, slowly pulling her into a hug, careful not to scare her. "you could of told me, when you had first suspected it, I could have helped you through it. WAIT, how did you hide it so well?"

"Big shirts." I replied to the last part simply through sobs soaking Chloe's bright yellow designer jacket. Months of stress and worry flowing freely with my tears.

I hear Chloe mumble the words "I'm going to give that basterd a fate worse then death" out under her breath while stroking my midnight blue hair with her perfectly manicured hand.

"There, there it'll all be ok, let it all out"

After all my tears were gone did we stand and start to walk off, home to the hotel.

About half way back to the hotel, I now live in Chloe's hotel, I start feeling nauseous.

My head feels likes it's spinning and my skin feels clamy.

My feet fumble and my legs wobble. My mind lapses and suddenly I'm right in the middle of the road about to be hit by a car.

I feel the impact, I hear the cracks and snaps. I'm aware of the blood drenching my hair and flowing from all over. I'm concise of the shouts and screams, of Chloe shrieking my name over and over, the heartbreaking sound of Chloe's sobbing vibrating through the air that's suddenly very murky. Suddenly I hear the air whistle past me as I fall into a portal of sorts, like a rabbit hole. For when I feel myself stop falling, I know I'm not in my world anymore. No, I'm Marinette in what's this land.
