My head but so much, but I couldn't give up. I stood, a little wobbly and almost falling over, but I held my ground. I walked towards the darkest part of the shadows. My friends followed me, wands in hand. I casted a flashlight in my hands. It appeared and dropped into my hand. I turned it on and walked closer. I opened my mouth to talk, but no words came out. I faced them and tried to speak. No use. They seem to have problems talking too. Seems like this akumatized villain can take away your voice and can make you disappear. Suddenly I felt a hand over mouth and a knife to my throat. I turned to see my friends' faces filled with horror. I gave them a reassuring look. I gave them a look that told them that I'd be ok and for them to run and get headmaster fu. They ran off to find him and I was left with this mysterious person. He dragged me into the forest and I front of a lake. He threw me toward the lake, but not hard enough to make me touch the water.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Petit coccinelle all alone. Hawkmoth has been expecting you." He said and pushed me into the lake. I held my breath as I went under, not knowing what to expect. I closed my eyes, waiting to be soaked.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge butterfly patterned window at the left side of the room. I was chained to the floor. I saw a man in a strange costume. He was smirking, and walked towards me.

"Hello, Marinette. I've been expecting you for a while now. Sweetheart, would you like to give me your powers? Or should I do it the hard way?" He asked. I spat at him and he grinned. He stepped back. "The hard way it is."

I stared at him in horror. I watched as he raised his wand and casted a spell. Then I was hit was massive pain. I screamed and arched my back. It felt like someone was constantly stabbing me and rinsing the wounds with alcohol. Then suddenly the pain stopped. I relaxed. "With this spell, I can control your brain waves, and I can make you feel pain much worse than that." He stated. I tried to back away but no use. I got pulled back by the chains.

"Why can't you just leave me alone!" I shouted. He laughed and walked forward.

"Why would I do that, petit coccinelle?" He asked. He laughed again and turned to the door. "Good night, my dear." He whispered before walking out.
