Modern day Paris was a city of magic and mystery. Witches, warlocks, and mages travelled from all over the world to experience the power born of the necropolis beneath their feet, and was second only to New Orleans for practitioners of the occult.
However, forces neither magical nor mundane had been enough to save Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Alya stared miserably at the vacant seat beside her, Caline Bustier’s lecture going unheard, as she recalled the last time she had seen Marinette.
Everything had been so normal that day. The sun shone, the birds twittered, and school went on like it always did.
But the following day, Marinette had not come in.
Alya went to her home to see if she was ill, but the shop was dark and the doors were locked. Alya called her mobile and landline numbers, but they all rang out, unanswered.
Eventually, Marinette’s phone told her the number was no longer in service.
When she did finally manage to contact Sabine and Tom, she had been enraged while they had been inconsolable. They informed her that Marinette had gone out for a walk, but had never come home. They had called the police, as well as various professional magic users, but none of them ever found a trace of her.
After three months, the case was no longer a priority. After six months, Alya still mourned her best friend, while her classmates picked themselves up and began to move on. She remained at the desk they had shared, even after Nino invited her to sit with him. To move felt like a betrayal, like she was finally admitting that Marinette was lost for good. Except, Alya wasn’t ready to accept that yet. So, she remained where she was.
It proved to be for the best when a new boy enrolled in her class. He took the seat next to Nino, and introduced himself as Adrien. They’d been good friends ever since.
Alya was happy Nino had made a friend, but she envied their relationship keenly. It felt like they were leading the life she and Marinette should have had.
Alya shook her head; she couldn’t begrudge them their happiness. Certainly, she didn’t want them to feel the pain she endured on an almost daily basis. Her pain had ebbed slightly in recent weeks, allowing her to feel something other than utter despair, but the loneliness remained.
She sighed, and drew her attention back to the lecture. She would allow herself to grieve again later.
