Red Strings And Markers

"Well, if I remember correctly, it was his arms that were around me. Also, you might want to get your facts straight on who Adrien belongs to, because last I know, he is mine." Marinette turned on her feet, looking back at the blond behind her. "Not that I'm saying that you're property but, you're mine."

"Oh really? Prove it." Chloé said, disbelieving it. Marinette let out a laugh and turned to Adrien.

"Wanna do the honors?" Nino added his two cents and Adrien couldn't help the smirk on his lips.

"Gladly." He wrapped his arms around Marinette's waist and French dipped her, planting his lips on hers, a mischievous smile against hers.

Any of the students that were around cheered while Chloé gasped and stomped her foot, storming inside the school, Sabrina following behind her.

Adrien released Marinette and pulled her up, a satisfied smile on his face and a blush on Marinette's.

"Was it necessary to be so extravagant?" She said, putting some hair behind her ear.

Adrien smirked and took her hand, kissing the back gently. "For my princess, of course."

Alya cheered and she and Nino joined their sides, starting a group hug because they had finally put a stop to Chloé's reign of terror.

Chloé was in the girl's restroom, sobbing over a toilet with Sabrina hovering over her.

"D-Don't be sad Chloé! Your soul mate pretended to be who he thought he was to please you! He wanted you to be happy!" Sabrina stammered.

"What do you know?" She cried. "Get out of here!" Chloé pushed Sabrina out of the restroom stall and slammed the door after her, shutting herself in.

Chloé sat back on the toilet, pulling out her compact mirror out of her purse and looked at herself, her makeup streaking down her eyes.

"What does that crazy cat lady have that I don't? Compared to that, I'm a queen!" She said, rubbing her makeup off her cheeks.

Chloé set the mirror on her lap and pulled out a pen from her bag, scribbling on her arm terribly. For the lies, for all the hopes that her other half had given her. Scribbling so much, so hard that she didn't noticed the black-violet butterfly that covered her compact mirror.

"Evil Queen, I am Papillion. Your Prince Charming didn't see your beauty, choosing some other girl over you. In exchange for this power that I give to you, find me Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous, everyone will love you and treat you as the queen you are."

Chloé held the compact mirror to her chest as the dark magic enveloped her, releasing the Evil Queen with a deep violet ripped gown and a tipped crown. She stood and looked up, the violet shape of a butterfly outlining her eyes.

"My pleasure, Papillion."

"You think Chloé's going to come to class?" Nino asked Alya as they walked in the classroom.

"I doubt it." Alya scoffed. "She got told off so bad by the two lovebirds, I'm sure she's devastated." Alya was right, Chloé was probably devastated but she had it coming to her.

Marinette did feel guilty for making her cry, but it had to be one day or another. "I do feel kind of bad." She admitted, rubbing her arm.

Adrien looked back at her as they entered the classroom, rubbing her shoulder encouragingly. "It's okay, don't worry."

Marinette was about to heed his words when they heard screams coming from outside. They rushed out of the classroom and looked down to the basketball court before them, seeing Sabrina on the floor, backing away from the locker rooms.
