Demeter's point of view
As I sat in the shadows of the streets, waiting for night to fall, I realized that my life was a tragedy. I would hide all day from humans with nets, and go out at night to find the essentials I needed to live. I was lonely. My sister left me to join a tribe of cats and when I tried to go….I couldn't find her. I lived like this for 4 years. Then…he came. A cat with grey matted fur stood before me and in a deep voice, he asked me "Want a family? Cause if you do, I can help you." I nodded my head instantly but slowly since I was on the verge of life and death. He held out his paw with a smile on his face. I took it and he guided me to a new life.
As we walked into a junkyard I asked him "Who are you?" He looked at me and said " I am known to all of the tribe as father but my name is Deuteronomy." When I heard that he was leader of a tribe, I wondered if my sister was here. It was possible but she was glamorous. Why would she leave me to live in a junkyard? As I was lead through a mountain of garbage I wondered where he was taking me. He could just be a cat trying to kill me. I wish he was because I never wanted to return to my life in the gutter.
When we walked about 8 feet through the horrid smelling mountain, I found myself in a clearing with cats running around everywhere. They were singing and dancing until we came into sight. They instantly stopped and looked at Deuteronomy then he gave them a meaningful look before the cats ran at me. I thought I was close to death until they hugged me and welcomed me. All were nice except one man with a mane. He starred at me before walked up, twirling his tail in his paw. All the cats seemed to swoon over him, but I just shook my head as in saying stay away. He stopped dead in his tracks and strutted away. I realized that I had my first enemy of the tribe.
A pure white cat came up to me and gasped. She said "She looks like Bomba!" I quickly said " I have a sister named Bombalurina!" She took my wrist and pulled me to a curtained hole in the ground and jumped in with me following her. Then right before my eyes, was my sister. We both gasped and run to hug each other. It felt amazing, being with the last bit of relatives I have. She said "Welcome home! This is where you will live for the rest of your life! In this tribe and in this den." She lead me to a room with a bed, and a perfectly good dresser. Bomba left the room and I sat on the bed and rubbed the soft blankets. I then sat up and left my perfect room to explore my new home.
After I met all the cats and explored every part of the junkyard, I saw a cat starring at me with love struck eyes. He was black, white, and silver. He was the most handsome cat I had seen all day and he looked at me like I was the most gorgeous cat in the world. Love at first sight. He walked up to me and I tingled all over. When he was within 2 feet of me he asked "Umm…. Uh…. Do you want to go to dinner or something tonight?" I was shocked to my core. I knew I must have looked stupid, just standing there with wide eyes but I finally said yes, after my shock Then I asked, 'what is your name?" and he said " Munkustrap"
Dinner was amazing! We talked and he told me the personalities of the tribe cats and he told me that the tribes name is the Jellicles. It was the best night of my life and that can be easily done because of my poor past. It was a night that I will never forget. I have a family, home, and a man who loves me now. What can go wrong?
