Chapter 10

First|Previous

Since Mari kidnapping, Alix has been non-stop looking for loop holes in the time vortex but always comes up short. The genius redheaded bunny just was running off fumes at this point. Two months has passed before she decided to give up on searching. Wayzz has mentioned to her that Mari was still alive, so not to fall low to the ground.

Another couple of months have passed and Alix has been focused on mediation with Fluff under Wayzz guidance. Each meditation would feel like a dream. She would find Marinette across from her on the clouded looking sky like ground smiling at her. Her features sometimes looked worn and tired when they meet. Other times she was healthy and talking about what is happening to her. After two weeks of this, Alix have realized that this was her loop hole. She found a way to communicate to Marinette and find her.

Nights with Mari had suddenly ended with no warning. Alix had entered her meditation state with Fluff but Mari was no where in sight. She knew something was wrong. The redhead woke from her session and quickly went to her desk where she hid her journals. She has been writing all of her times with Mari in the notebook thus she had begun her research on the Order of Assassins.

It’s been a year and two months and Alix has been in inner turmoil. Adrian has been visiting Alix from monthly to see how his friend has been doing. Most time he will find her at work non-stop, other times she would be hold up at home going through books after books. It was as if her world came to a stop after the incident. One can tell she has been forcing herself to not do the unthinkable with each passing week, months even.

Adrian has just arrived at her door when he heard shattering glass from inside. Quickly he used his key and forced his way inside, finding a disheveled redheaded woman standing at one end of the room and glass on the floor by her feet. She stood with some of the silk robe laying barely on her shoulder, exposing her bones more than skin. Her hair wrapped in a messy knotted bun, and looking like she hasn’t slept in days. The world news was on, talking about an assassination on some of the powerful people around the world, and an attempt in New Jersey.

“Alix? What is it?” Adrian grabs a towel from the kitchen, kneels down in front of her, and began to clean up the glass. He checked her feet for any bleeding then stood to look at the woman.

“They took Mari, a year ago. They took her Adrian.” Alix moves to the miraculous box, rubbing it as if she was deciding to do something she shouldn’t. Adrian looks confused. His lady was missing and his friend is tormented. All he knew was what the police had reported when they decided to stop the investigation. Marinette has chosen to run away and leave everyone behind. At first like Alix, he didn’t believe that Marinette would do that. She had her girlfriend, her job, the life she wanted. Why would she do all this just to leave? Alix had mentioned to him that she used the rabbit miraculous to find Mari, only to return torn up more. Adrian didn’t know what she has seen, but it obviously wasn’t good.

“Wait, who took her?” He asked.

“Those people, the ones that Mari told me about. I saw it when they had taken her.” Alix admitted. “I’ve been keeping tabs on them. I couldn’t locate Mari in the time vortex. There were just too many variables to know which was the real one. So I decided to keep track on the ones who had kidnapped her.” She continued.

“Alix! That’s dangerous. Marinette would not have approved of it.” Adrian said disappointed yet approving at the same time. “Okay, so who are they?”

“From what I have learned.” She waved her hand over the year worth of research she had fanned out in her living room. “They are a powerful group. One that it seems to be years old. There isnt much to go by thanks to the history of them has been hidden. The Kawamiis couldn’t help either.” Alix sat down and sighed helplessly. Adrian sits next to her, taking her hand in his and rubs it gently.

“Hey, Marinette is the toughest person we know. If anything happened to her we would know about it. Don’t give up.” He said. Tikki flew over with Fluff hugging the holder with their little bodies.

“Remember, we will know if something happens to our Great Guardian.” Wayzz says, appearing in front of them both. Even though this was said to her before, Alix still hasn’t stopped worrying. Marinette, please come home soon. I need you. Alix thought to herself as she curled up into Adrian’s arms crying for her lost girlfriend. He has decided to try to help, knowing she will need all the help she can get until their Mari returns. Maybe even after. Then something dawned on him.

“Alix, did you say Mari told you about them?”
