Macavity rubbed his head in agitation. Why wouldn't this work out? He paced around his throne room, thinking, thinking deeply. He needed to find a way…to find a way to make this work. Macavity paused, his mind flicking through the names of the different Jellicles. He needed someone to help him make this plan work. He needed someone that would turn against a member of his own tribe. Macavity gave an annoyed sigh and slumped in his throne. He wanted Munkustrap…he wanted Munkustrap to join him, to be on his side. Munkustrap was one hell of a fighter, and also his middle brother. The Rum Tum Tugger was his youngest brother, but Macavity detested him. Munkustrap was something different, Macavity did have some brotherly concern and love for him…but he desperately wanted Munkustrap to join him, to take his place by his side. The faces of the different Jellicles went through his mind.

How, how, how, how…

"HOW?" Macavity yelled in frustration, making his hench-cats leap back in fright. Macavity gave a growl and stood up, pacing around again. One Jellicle that was all he needed, one Jellicle to turn Munkustrap to Macavity. Macavity rubbed his chin, his long claws scratching at his chin. Macavity paused suddenly, as thoughts of the last Jellicle ball went through his head. His mind came to stop on one certain cat, one certain Tom, who was looking at Munkustrap, his honey eyes burning with jealously. Macavity laughed, his laugh rising in volume, echoing around the room. Macavity couldn't believe it had taken him so long to finally come to that cat, to that Jellicle. Macavity spun on his heel, strolling from the warehouse as he went to find that Jellicle, to proposition that Jellicle. Macavity had a smug smirk on his face as he strolled towards the Jellicle junk yard with purpose. He was going to find that Jellicle…that black and white splotched Jellicle burning with jealously.

Alonzo sat with his back against the alley wall, he was seething. Perfect, bloody Munkustrap. Alonzo growled. He was always second best to Munkustrap, always. Munkustrap was the tall, handsome, strong, Jellicle Protector…he had the best voice, he was a great dancer, the kittens and the queens loved him. Alonzo, however, yes, he was tall, he was strong…but the queens barely paid attention to him, the kittens only came to him when Munkustrap, Mistoffelees and Tugger were busy. At the last Jellicle ball, when Macavity had appeared, Munkustrap had fought Macavity and was easily defeated. Alonzo had jumped in and fought back, getting scratched and clawed at. He was tossed aside, but he had quickly gotten to his feet. Munkustrap, however, was lying on his side on the ground, just regaining consciousness. Tantomile, Rumpleteazer, Mungojerrie and Cassandra, Alonzo's Cassandra, were by his side, checking him over and cleaning his wounds. Alonzo had fought too, he was bleeding too, but did he get any attention…no. He watched as Demeter walked over to Munkustrap, nuzzling him and looking him over, seeming to forget it was Alonzo that grabbed her from Macavity and carried her to safety. Alonzo gave another growl. It was always Munkustrap, always! Alonzo was second Protector, second best…but no one ever looked at him twice, no one ever thanked him or cleaned his wounds…other then Jenny of course.

"You seem to have a lot on your mind, Alonzo," Alonzo's head snapped up when he heard that chilling voice. Macavity was leaning casually against the wall opposite. Alonzo's heart began to race, how did he not hear Macavity coming? Macavity put up his paws in a sign that he wasn't a threat. Alonzo stayed where he was, honey eyes wide.

"I know your problem," Macavity purred. Alonzo blinked. "Always second best to Munkustrap…never getting the attention you deserve," Alonzo stared at Macavity, shocked. Macavity sauntered closer.

"I can help you, Alonzo…I can help you become the best," Alonzo stood up slowly, his heart beating strongly in his chest.

"H-How?" Alonzo asked. Macavity smiled.

"You bring me Munkustrap…and you're free to take his place in the tribe," Macavity told him. Alonzo's heart beat fast as thoughts swirled in his head. Betray Munkustrap?

"Think about it, Alonzo…you could be who the queens want, you can be the kittens' favourite…you can be the Protector who is loved," Macavity whispered, knowing exactly which words and emotions to use to pull Alonzo in.

"What will you do to Munkustrap?" Alonzo asked slowly.

"I won't kill him, if that's what you're asking." Macavity answered bluntly. Alonzo nodded.

"Fine, I'll do it," Alonzo breathed. Macavity smiled.

"Good boy…but I have one requirement," Macavity told him. Alonzo nodded.

"Make him fall in love with you," Alonzo blinked.

"But he and Demeter…" Macavity shook his head.

"Merely friends…" He answered. "He's not exactly a queens Tom if you get what I'm saying," Alonzo nodded, his cheeks heating up a little.

"Why do you want me to make him fall for me?" Alonzo questioned. Macavity smiled.

"You'll find out soon enough, Alonzo," Macavity said before turning and walking away.

"But there is a deadline," Macavity said suddenly turning back. Alonzo stared at him.

"Two months…and you bring him here," Macavity finished gesturing to the alley. "If I find out that you've gone back on your word…then I'll tell the Jellicles what you were planning to do," Alonzo watched him go, his heart racing in his chest.

This was his chance, his chance to finally be recognized.
