The the cat and the bug

First Day of Hell Part 3

She was so graceful and smart. She carried herself which such confidence, it almost looked like she was a model walking down a runway. She was also kind. The kindest person that ever lived. Always putting others happiness before her's.

My brother on the other had, was the complete opposite. He looked a lot like us. The same wild chaotic curly brown hair and eyes so dark brown they looked black at times. He was very free. Never liked to be told what to do or how to do it.  Ricardo was hyper as can be. That kid never needed to sleep. Always had energy to mess around. He was the complete opposite of my sister. 

All 3 of us took after our dad.

Then there was Alondra and Alejandra. They were identical twins. Both had straight hair the color of caramel and big brown eyes the color of milk chocolate. Eyes with a sparkle of mischief so vibrant they lit up starless sky's. They were exactly like my brother. All three of them were wild and hyper, always happy and full of life. They never missed an opportunity to cause mischief. Just like my dad.But their wild spirit had vanished after he died.

They no longer joked or laughed as much as they used to. They no longer ran around the house playing and chasing each other. Instead, they sat in the couch watching TV. Their sparkle gone from their eyes. 

The sparkle was gone from everyone's eyes, including mine. I don't think I've laughed since he died. That was, until, I met Hugo. 

I shut those thoughts down this second they came to my mind. I wasn't ready to love anyone, I was still grieving for my dad.

I turned the TV on and switched through several channels, until I landed on the news. Words flashed on the screen: BREAKING NEWS

"Breaking News. Citizens of Paris please be warned, there is a monsters taking over Paris. This hasn't happened in 25 years since Ladybug and Cat Noir defeated Hawk Moth. But as we all know they're retired. So will our superhero's come back from retirement and save us or will we find new hero's to protect us? Stay tuned to find out more on this exciting story." 

I gave a half hearted laugh. Superhero's? I had heard of Ladybug and Cat Noir, but I had no faith that they'd actually protect us. It was a load of bullcrap. And monsters? An even bigger load of bullcrap. 

I went to my room to put my shoes away, when I spotted a strange looking box. It had weird symbols I'd never seen in my life. I threw my shoes on the floor and carefully approached it. Opening it slowly and cautiously, a black swirl orb thing came out and started flying around the room. I crouched down and covered my head. I screamed. It started flying everywhere. It was a small black bug looking thing. 

I stayed crouched down on the floor until that thing stopped. When I finally stopped hearing zooming, I looked up. The bug thing had ears and a tale. "What are you?" I asked calmly. There was panic shooting through my chest, but I managed to speak clearly. 

The bug thing looked at me. "I am a kwami. My name Plagg and you are taking this surprisingly well." 

I take in a shaker breath. This couldn't be happening. A cat bug thing was talking to me.

 "Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is a kwami?"

 "A being that grants magical powers. I'm here to help you become a superhero."

 I gasped for air. I couldn't breathe. I lowered myself onto the bed. "This can't be happening. I'm not a superhero. I'm not kind or selfless, this is a mistake. I'm sorry, but please go back into your magic box and find a new holder." 

"No! The guardian chose you. She gave me specific instructions! You have been chosen by her! Please give me a chance! Please just try!"

There was something that lit inside me. A memory of my dad telling me that I'd never know until I tried. It was like a ton of bricks had hit me. My father loved superhero's. He was a big fan of ladybug and Cat Noir. If he'd known I was given this chance and I didn't take it...

I looked at the box and held the ring i my hands it flashed green and changed into earrings. I looked at Plagg in confusion but he shrugged. "What do I need to say?" The kwami's eyes lit up and it reminded me of Ricky, Dora, and Ale's eyes. "Say, Plagg, claws out." 

"Plagg, claws out."

Before I could do anything, something glowed green. I looked down at my hands and they were covered in black leather. I had claws. I HAD CLAWS. I ran to my bathroom. 

The first thing I noticed was my glowing green eyes, like a  cat. I also had a head band with cat ears. I looked away. My dad had bought some for me when I was little. I glanced back up at the mirror.

My hair was put in two long braids that when down my shoulders with strands coming out of it in the front. It was jet black. 

I was wearing a body suite, black with zippers on my side. I love pockets. I glanced down and my shoes they were platform converse and went to my knees. There was a baton on my side. I held it and expanded it, pressed a bottom and it became a sword, then another and it became a golf club. I opened the window of my bedroom and went out. I suppose it's time to face that monster.

A/N you're gonna hate me... it's still not done. I really tried to make it by the deadline. Please don't be afraid to give me feedback or ideas on how the story should go. ALSO please give me recommendations for their superhero names. I have ideas but ya know it's always nice to hear from you guys.
