Endless Cycle
Red blood stained white snow.
"Ladybug, now!" Volpina managed to shout through the searing pain in her left leg. "Chat will be okay, just focus on the Akuma!"
"I-... okay!" she swung her Yoyo to chase after the villain who was mercilessly attempting to make horrified Parisians its snack.
Volpina slung Chat Noir's arm over her shoulder and pulled him out of the commotion, wincing as more pain shot through her leg and began to spread. The unlucky cat groaned and began to move as he was dragged.
"Lila- no, Ladybug? Wait... wait, I'm coming!" suddenly Chat was trying to break free of his aid.
"Hey, you can't go back just yet! Adrien, you're hurt!" she set him down against a lit up tree, the cold white fluff that covered the cityscape made him flinch and shiver.
"I'm fine. If we don't get back there Ladybug won't be,"
"Adrien..." her breaths were little white clouds. They nearly mixed with the ones coming from the heaving lungs of the boy in front of her.
"Lucky charm!" Ladybug's shout was heard above the screaming and shouting nearby. Chat's ears instantly perked and his body stiffened, clutching the side of his head as he atempted to get up.
Volpina looked into the green eyes that were searching the crowd. They would look at anyone but her... He was happy with Ladybug; she was his everything, the only girl he would ever notice. There was nothing she could do about it. Her heart ached. It ached so much. The constant squeezing and pulling and tearing was agonizing. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to force the feeling away. Of course it stayed. It only went away when her love was happy. And he was only happy when her saw her, when he was around her. His Ladybug.
"I won't let you go. I won't let you risk your life more than you already have... for her..."
In a blur of movement, Lila tore the hanging Christmas lights from the dead, snow covered branches above them. Using the lights, she bound a helpless cat to the trunk.
"Wha- hey! Lila... Volpina! Fox! You let me out right now, I need to-" he was cut off by a sharp whack from Volpina's staff against the tree.
"No! I'm not going to let you get hurt for someone who only knows you exist when she needs your help!" her voice shook, and she whirled around before she could see the reaction to her her words.
