Emilie Agreste

[Mallory POV]

2 weeks later

I was listening to music with my Chat Noir headphones and writing in my journal about going to a banquet tomorrow at the Grand Paris Hotel when Nathalie came into my room.

I put my headphones around my neck and looked at her quizzically.

"Come with me," she commanded me and I put up my stuff and followed her into Father's office.

I raised an eyebrow and Nathalie pressed some secret buttons on a painting of Adrien's mother, Emilie Agreste.

I stared at it for a second.

Adrien really does look like her...

Suddenly, the ground in front of Emilie's painting started sinking and I stepped back in surprise.

Nathalie smiled at me as she was taken down.

I jumped down and looked around the familiar room.

My eyes widened as I remembered.

This was Father's lair...

"Familiar?" Nathalie asked me.

I sighed.

"It's been a while since we've talked or saw anything about akumas or sentimonsters..." I told her. "I had forgotten that Father was Hawk Moth, you were Mayura, and that I'm... a sentimonster..."

Nathalie smiled gently at me.

"Is this the whole reason you brought me down here?" I asked her.

Nathalie's smile disappeared.

"No..."

Nathalie motioned for me to come closer to her and I obeyed.

The ground below us started sinking and my eyes widened.

We were in an elevator and and scene was beautiful.

The elevator stopped at the bottom and Nathalie walked towards something at the end of the walkway. I followed her, curious.

Nathalie stopped in front of me and I had to walked around her to see.

My eyes widened and I gasped in shock.

Emilie Agreste was laying in something like a coffin.

I walked up to her and stared.

"Is she..." I trailed off.

"Dead?" Nathalie asked and I nodded. "No."

My eyes widened and I stared at Nathalie.

"What...?"

Nathalie sighed and walked up to Emilie's coffin, putting her hand on the glass.

"Remember this?" Nathalie asked me as she tapped the peacock miraculous.

I nodded.

"That's the peacock miraculous. It, along with you, created me," I told her.

Nathalie nodded.

"It used to be broken," she told me.

My eyes widened.

"What would that do?" I asked her, nervous.

Nathalie sighed.

"The miraculous' wounds be would become its holder's wounds," she told me. "Like it did to me... and Emilie..."

"So... Adrien's mom was..."

"A miraculous holder."

I turned to Emilie and fidgeted with my black cat necklace.

"That used to be Emilie's, you know?" Nathalie asked me, nodding towards my necklace.

I stared at it.

Adrien is Chat Noir so that makes sense.

"Why are you showing me this?" I asked Nathalie.

"So you will understand why Gabriel is doing what he's doing," she told me.

"And why is he doing this?" I asked her.

Nathalie turned back to Emilie.

"If the ladybug and black cat miraculous are used together, then the holder will gain absolute power and one wish that will come true... Gabriel only wants the miraculouses for the wish..."

My eyes widened.

"So... he can wish Emilie back?" I questioned Nathalie and she nodded.

"He just wants his wife back," Nathalie explained.

I turned my back to Nathalie and leaned against Emilie's coffin.

But Adrien is Chat Noir... That means that Father has been fighting and hurting his own son for almost three years...

I sighed.

Father will be heartbroken when he finds out...

I looked at Emilie.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Agreste, but I have to make sure that Father and Adrien won't get hurt... Which means that I have to make sure that Father doesn't get Adrien's miraculous...

TWO IN ONE DAY?!?!?!?! THIS IS GREAT!!!! Have a great day, my little kittens!!
