WARNING: I have upped the rating for this story from this point on. There are references to violence in this chapter but nothing too harsh yet. From this chapter on, however, things will get darker for a bit. If you get squeemish and want a more friendly version, you can find it on fanfiction.net. I have also posted this on archiveofourown. Yes, I'm mean... flames to go roasting Hawk Moth. ~_^
Chapter 1: Prelude To Pain
A soft groan escaped pink tinged lips, blond hair splayed out on a plain white pillow. His mind was reeling, foggy. He felt groggy and weak. He tried to bring his hand up to rub his eyes but he found he couldn't move it. He couldn't lift it... he didn't have the strength. He felt so weak... so sluggish.
"W... ha... ah..." came the weak, barely audible sound from the male as he tried desperately to open his rather heavy eyelids. He whimpered after a moment and just went limp again. He tried to focus, tried to think... what was the last thing he remembered?
The attack... there had been an akuma attack... they'd stopped the akuma... and then. He'd asked Ladybug to spend time with him. She didn't want to... He felt a pang of pain at that memory as he clenched his eyes tighter. Why would she want to spend time with him? Everyone knew, even the two of them... Ladybug was the hero... he was just a comedic sidekick.
He shook his head a bit to try and clear it and focus on the here and now. It didn't help much, however, and just caused his head to swim as he whimpered. He clenched his eyes shut tightly as everything spun a bit as if his brain was spinning around in circles inside his skull. That had been a bad idea. He felt a little nauseous now but he gulped it back and worked on taking deep, calming breaths until his stomach settled down again.
"Good to see you're awake, boy..." came a familiar voice as Hawk Moth slipped out of the shadows, a smirk on his face, "You should have just listened... I hate disobedience..." he uttered, crossing his arms over his chest, his cane in one hand as butterflies flitted about his form, "Now what shall we do with you, hmm?"
Adrien's heart leapt in his chest as the other neared and he realized he didn't have the strength to get up and fight... he also had no idea where Plagg was and after a second he realized... he couldn't feel the weight of his ring on his finger... his miraculous was gone, "give it back..." he let out, eyes narrowing as he tried to pull himself up into a sitting position but found he didn't have the strength to do that either, "what did... you do to me?"
Hawk Moth just laughed and smirked darkly, "just a little sedative... it'll keep you nice and calm for now. Wouldn't want you trying to escape now would we? I don't need you warning Ladybug about my new found 'power'," he chuckled, holding up Adrien's ring and grinning at the angry look it got him, "Don't worry... I'll give it back... once I'm sure you'll be the perfect tame and obedient little kitten."
"Give it back!" the blond shouted but it only made his head spin more as he flopped back onto the bed, panting as his head spun. He had no strength... he couldn't fight... he couldn't move... he'd failed... he'd let Hawk Moth get his ring... He'd let Hawk Moth get him. He felt pathetic. He'd failed Paris... he'd failed his Lady... His Ladybug.
"I will. Just not now," Hawk Moth said and Adrien just glared at him as the man stepped closer to him, "you have a lot to learn before you get that ring back… First thing you need to learn… is to NEVER get on my bad side…" he hissed out, grabbing the boy by the sides of his jaw in a bruising grip, "I was willing to give you so much in return for a simple little task… all I wanted were the Ladybug earrings and your Cat Noir ring and then you would have had your precious girl and I'd have left Paris alone… but no… you insisted on fighting… insisted on going against my wishes… insisted on making things difficult… well, now things will be difficult… for you… not for me."
Adrien winced as the other grabbed him, feeling the others fingers and nails digging into his flesh as he glared back at the older male with eyes like daggers, filled with anger and hatred. Hawk Moth was evil… he knew there would always be a catch. That is if he even kept his promises in the first place. He would never make a deal with this 'devil'.
"Tsh!" Hawk Moth growled, shoving the boy away harshly and turning away from him, walking a few steps from the other, "why do you insist on always being so disobedient? So troublesome? Why can't you just do as you're told? Why can't you just listen when you're spoken to?!" Hawk Moth snapped, finally turning back to the boy, "You should have taken my offer, Adrien… This would have been so much easier."
The green eyed teen looked to the other with hazy eyes, the villain's words echoing in his mind. He sounded less like an angry criminal and more like a parent berating his child. It sent chills through Adrien's body but he didn't reply and he didn't dwell on it… he didn't want to. Instead, he shook his head a bit as he let out, "Sorry… am I 'bugging' you, Hawk Moth? Sorry to purrrevent you from getting what you want but… I was chosen for a reason. I'm no lap cat… I won't lay down and die and I won't obey a creep like you. My loyalties will always lay with Ladybug and Paris!"
Hawk Moth scowled at the boy as he shook his head, "Not for long…" he hissed as he moved towards a table that Adrien hadn't been paying attention to. There were all sorts of devices and strange objects on it that he didn't necessarily recognize. His stomach churned, however, as he shook his head as the other grabbed a pair of handcuffs.
The blond groaned as he tried to shift to his side and off of the bed but he didn't get far before Hawk Moth grabbed his leg and yanked him back to where he could reach one wrist. The man scowled as he cuffed the one wrist and dragged the struggling boy closer to cuff the other as well as Adrien snapped profanities at him and tried to hit and bite him. He ignored it and smirked once he had the boy cuffed, tossing him back onto the bed harshly.
"What's wrong, kitten? Are you a fraidy-cat?" Hawk Moth asked, throwing the puns back in the boy's face as he laughed, smirking as he moved over to where a long chain with a hook was hanging from the ceiling. He grabbed the chain by the hook and pulled it over to the bed, smirking at the fear in the boy's eyes as he shifted himself up till he was resting with his back against the headboard.
This just helped Hawk Moth in the end, however, as he pulled something out of his pocket. It was a controller. He pressed a button on it to make the hook come down so he could get a better grip on it. Once it was at Adrien's eye level, he grabbed the boy by the wrists and pulled them up, slipping the chain of the cuffs onto the hook.
"There we go…" the masked man said He pressed another button on the controller again causing the chain to start to lift, pulling the blond up by the wrists and forcing him to kneel up on the bed as he struggled, trying to get free. The boy was panting by this point, panicking as various scenarios ran through his head.
This was bad… really, really bad… He should have just told Ladybug the truth… He should have told her that Hawk Moth had found out his identity… that Hawk Moth had offered him a deal in return for their miraculous. He'd just been so embarrassed and felt terrible. He felt like Ladybug shouldn't have to fix his screw-ups and wanted to do it on his own… he wanted to fix it himself… but this wasn't the kind of screw up he should have been dealing with alone.
Adrien didn't like this at all. He was scared. He felt vulnerable like this and he was terrified of what Hawk Moth would do. He tugged at the chains, wondering if he'd have the strength and stamina to break his own hand in order to pull himself free of the cuffs. That's how they did it on TV right? Of course, that wasn't real and he wasn't sure it could be done in real life. He just wanted to get out of here. A lot of those devices and tools on that table, now that he had a better look at it, looked sharp… and deadly… and most of all… painful.
He silently wished that Ladybug would find him… would save him… but she had no idea where he was… or that he was even in trouble. How long would it take for her to figure out that something was wrong? That he was missing? A day? A week? Would she just think he'd abandoned her? Would she think he'd given up the fight? Why had he been so stupid… Now Ladybug would have to fight on her own… alone… She could end up killed or worse... all because of him.
And what about school? What about his friends? His father? Nathalie and the Gorilla? Would they be worried? Would his father even notice he was missing? Would his father just assume he'd disappeared like his mother? Maybe even think that he'd run away? He knew his friends would worry… he knew Nathalie and Gorilla would as well… He hoped they wouldn't worry too much. He didn't want to be a burden to anyone.
Hawk Moth smirked at this point as he chuckled softly, pulling Adrien from his reverie, "time for the main event, hm? I hope you're ready, you're tonight's entertainment, Cat Noir… but don't worry. Our audience consists solely of my precious akuma," the deranged man laughed, "I'm going to break you… and then… I will tame and train you… you will be mine… you will obey… and you will bring me Ladybug's Miraculous… It's just a matter of time. Let's see how long it takes you to break… let's hope, for your sake, that it isn't long."
