Chapter 1

I've finally bought all the fabric I need for my next design. I was making a red dress with black polka dots for the school dance next month. I needed to make it early since I wouldn't have a lot of time between school, the bakery and my life as ladybug. I was taking a shortcut and was walking in a dark alley at night. I wanted to walk so I decided not to use my miraculous. I'm suddenly grabbed by the arm and harshly shoved into the wall. A big man, about 6 feet tall holds a gun gun in his hand. I can't turn into ladybug or he'll know my secret identity. "Give me all your money!" Shouts the man's voice. "I-i d-don't h-h-have any l-left" I had spent it all on my material and even if I did have any, I wouldn't be able to get it or he would see Tikki. "Don't lie to me! Give me your purse!" I close my eyes as tears fall. I can't. Tikki. I can't. He pressed the gun to my head cocked it. "Give. It. Now. Or my gun will be the last thing you ever see" he says in a low menacing voice. What do I do. What do I do! I start shaking uncontrollably and start to reach for my purse. Suddenly the man falls to the floor knocked unconscious. "Are you okay?" I look up and see the green eyes of Chat noir.
