"Please! Stop hurting me! I haven't done anything wrong!" Demeter screamed as Macavity kept beating her.

"Yes you have!" Demeter was crying for mercy, but Macavity kept on hurting her.

"Stop!" Demeter yelled. It was the tenth time she'd had that dream and it had been two months since she had escaped from Macavity into the loving care of the Jellicles.

"Demeter, sweetie, what's wrong?" asked her mate, Munkustrap. He was always awake as soon as she screamed.

"Nothing, go back to sleep," Demeter whispered. She didn't want him to get too worried, so she never told him about the dreams. She went back to a light sleep.

Demeter woke to the sound of cats talking."She's way too jumpy, is all I'm saying," that sounded like Tugger.

"You know he raped her," that was definitely Jenny scolding him. She hated when people talked about her like she wasn't there, even if they thought she was asleep.

"All I'm saying is that she's weird," Tugger stated.

"Well!" Jenny huffed as she stormed off.

She'd had enough of listening to them."Next time, talk about me when I'm actually asleep," Demeter said while Tugger looked after her with a stupid expression.

It was just after her confrontation with Tugger, and she was talking to Bombalurina. Bombalurina was one of the cats in the group to rescue her. Of course her sister would come for her!She was so caught up in her thought that she almost didn't notice when Bombalurina waved her paw in front of her face.

"Dem, you ok? You zoned out there for a few minutes," Bombalurina said.

"Just thinking," she said with a reassuring smile. She hated when all the others were asking if she was alright. They have a right to worry, she thought, they'll soon stop.

"You know, I'm gonna go talk to Cassie. Bye!" she called as she walked away.

Demeter quickly walked to Cassie's house. Why are you running away from everyone?

'I'm not. I just want to talk to Cass.'

Are you sure?

'Positive.'

Well, ok. I'm not one to tell you what you're doing. Wait, yes I am.

'Why can you tell me what I'm doing?'

Because I'm you, duh.

'Shut up, I don't want to talk to you anymore.'

Actually me, because we're the same person.

'…'

I'm shutting up.

As she got to Cass' den, she saw a sign on the door that said she was away. 'Well, that's odd.' She thought.

She walked back to her own den, seeing as there was no reason to still be there. As she was walking, she was unaware of the golden pair of eyes.

"You shouldn't have been watching her. What if she caught you?" Tantomile asked her brother.

"I was just making sure she was okay, as always." Coricopat answered.

"Fine, I can't make you stop." Tantomile said before she fell asleep.

Yeah, you can't." he whispered.

It was a very sunny day, the one where you just want to lie around, so everyone did. All of the cats were lounging on or around the TSE1, except for the few who didn't want to be around everyone. Those few included Coricopat, and Tantomile. Tantomile was dozing near her and Cori's den, but Cori was thinking. He was thinking a lot lately. He was thinking, at the time, about Demeter. He hoped she was doing okay.

And you hope that she likes you.

'Shut up, I do not.'

Are you positive?

'I'm very positive, Mr. Voice.'

Fine, I'll leave you to your thoughts.

'Thank you Mr. Voice, make sure to say hi to Mrs. Voice!'

Ok…

'He's such a nice guy,' Cori thought to himself. 'Now to more pressing matters…'
