I do not own cats. The only characters I own are Amelia and Aliyah!
"Go find the Jellicles…" my mother whispered.
"The…the what?" I asked.
"The Jellicles. They are cats who live in the junkyard across town." My mother coughed before continuing. "Talk to Old Deuteronomy. He is the Jellicle leader and he will let you live there."
"I will, Mom."
My mother's name is Amelia. She is a pure white Turkish Van. She has one blue eye and one green eye. I think she is beautiful. My name is Aliyah. I am a white, red, and black patched Tortoiseshell with green eyes.
I will never forget the day my mother sat me down and told me she was slowly dying. I was absolutely devastated! I would lock myself in my room and cry for hours. Everlasting Cat! I'm only a kitten, who will now have no mother.
I snapped back to reality when my mother took my hand.
"Aliyah," she whispered. "My beautiful kitten. I love you."
"I love you, too." I fought back my tears.
I kissed her head one last time. She closed her eyes and took one last breath before she slipped into a never-ending sleep. Peacefulness filled the room. My tears fell at last as I stood up and walked out of the room.
***Poor Aliyah. Will she find the junkyard and Old Deuteronomy?***
