Hi! This is my FIRST CATS FanFic! I have YET to learn how to manage my chapters so ANY instructions on how to fix that would be greatly appreciated.
Disclaimer: I do not own cats, I am merely writing about these felines who are Fearless, faithfull and true to others who do... WHAT jellicles do and jellicles can! howEVER, Azkonda is MINE.
Azkonda. Thats my name. I AM a jellicle. I WAS free... then HE came. Who is HE? Perhaps you've heard Demeter and Bombalaurina sing it. "He's the master criminal who can defy the law! He's the baffelment of Scottlandyard, the Flying Squads' Despair, for when you reach the sceen of crime, MACAVITY"S not there!" And who am I to be trapped by the Hidden Paw? The great Napoleon of Crime? I am merely Demeters sister. Merely her Almost Identical TWIN. Thats all. She is gold and ebony, I Silver and Ebony. I the moon, Her the Sun. That is all.
"Az darling!" GREAT. Here HE comes.
"Yes dear?"
"I have accomplished my GREATEST GOAL!"
"and what would that be?"
"I have lured all the jellicles out of that HORRID junkyard!"
I could tell by his voice there was more to it than that.
"Aaand?"
"AND, I have killed your beloved sister, Demeter! What JOY!"
"you WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!"
"you heard me! I killed her!"
"YOU HELLCAT!"
"why thank you!"
As i slipped past him into my escape i racked my claws against his side
the main Guard barred my way out. I gave him a glare worthy of the First Hellcat Come Straight From Jellicle Hell. I growled.
"Fine, See if I care, but when Mac finds out, you'll be in big trouble little mistress!"
"Do i LOOK like i give a SNIPPET of CATMINT!"
I heard The Hidden Paw hurling threats behind me but i didn't turn back, I kept running all the way to the 'yard. I brushed past Admetus when i saw him coming on his way back, i didn't have time.
"AZ! az your back! how did you escape Macavity? Azkonda?"
Then i saw her. Black and Gold, Shining and Shimmering, pale and shallow breathing, a KNIFE protruding her stomach.I ran towards her, she was in the middle of the 'yard, not that hard to get too. I realized i was sobbing.
"Demi!"
"Az is that you?!"
"Yes Demeter its me!"
"Azkonda! Listen to me, I want you to stop crying!"
"Bu'-but i -i can't!" i said inbetween sobs.
"of course you can! I'm going to the Heaviside Layer! Rejoice! There will be no more pain for me!"
"But Demes, I'll MissyoU!"
"You don't think i'm going to miss YOU?"silence. I had no answer.
"I want you to do something for me Az"
"anything Dem anything!"
"Tell...Tell Munkus I love him, And Bomba I'll miss her!"
"o-okay"i was still recovering from crying.
"Goodbye Azkonda, I love you!"
"I love you too Demes!"
"NO! Don't go! Please! Please Demeter! Don't Leave me!"
"please" i whispered my last and final plea for her to live.
but she was gone. my beautiful sister, loving Demeter. Gone. I looked up to see Munkustrap staring at me. Shockingly, he was crying to. I don't believe i have ever seen Munkus Cry...
"It will be ok Az. I promise."
"of course it will Munkus, Of course. Demeter had one last wish."
"what was that?" he looked hopeful, perhaps he was hoping she had given him permission to kill The Hidden Paw.
"She wanted me to tell you that she loved you."
A single tear fell down his cheek. I didn't expect a response. Everlasting cat knows how much Munkus Loved her. Out of the corner of my eyes i saw the rest of the tribe rushing in, then i heard Bomba caterwaul. We were all in mourning. Then i felt Someone behind me. I whirled around snarling.
"Woah there!"
it was only Mungojerrie, My cheeky friend...
"sorry! i though you were...." i dropped off, he knew who i meant. He wrapped his calico arms around me, comforting me.
"Shhh Shh, It'l be alriot!" oh how i loved his accent.i knew i was sobbing. They were carring away Demis body, and Bomba was with them. I just couldn't do it, i just couldn't control myself.
I felt a burning in my arm. I schreeched! I felt him! I smelled him! I heard him! Finally I SAW him. "MACAVITY!" apparently, this is what Demeter felt. He was standing on top of a pile of junk. then it hit me. HE KILLED MY SISTER! There was no way in HEAVISIDE i was going to let that monster get away with killing my sister! not event hte great everlasting cat HIMSELF could stop me from attacking him! I yanked myself free of mungojerrie's protecting arms. I ran full tilt at The Hidden Paw. I leapt at him, claws and fangs, and this time, unlike the other times i had defended mysefl against him. i wasn't holding back. Before i could even register the pain in my cheek, i felt blood runing down my face. I schreeched. I flung myself at him. but he was to quick. he tackled me from behind. i twisted myself free off of my belly and i started pummeling his soft underbelly with my hind claws. I felt a great surge of satisfaction when i saw his blood on my paws. He screamed and slashed my face. I relaxed and stopped straining against his hold, he loosened his paws that were clenched around my wrists in surprise. I had expected this. It was my trademark move to do that. you would have thought he'd have figured it out by now! I leapt up out of his hold. He rolled to the side. He leapt up in a flash and flung me against the wall. he he underestimated my strenght. this time. i had trapped him. i went in for the final lunge, the one that would kill him.
"you know you can't do it! you know you can't kill a former jellicle, especially one your DEAR sister Demeter onced loved." his words hit home. Demi had loved him. He had killed her. He had betrayed her. I could kill him. but i wouldn't, i wouldn't stoop to his level, i would leave him wounded and sorry, but not lifeless. I got off of him, and gave him one last departing hiss as he ran off cackling and limping.
I sighed, i saw mungojerrie runnign towards me. all the other jellicles looking at me, surprise registering on their faces.
"GAAH!"
"what! what is i' Ahz?"
"Did you not learn ANY manners?! your supposed to ASK before you start grooming me!'
"oops!" i smiled
"well dear miz ahz, May I groom and tend to yah woundz?"
"yes, yes you may sweet mungojerrie!"
He was so sweet and gentle. it didn't matter if it was only a scratch, he was just as gentle with it as the inch deep gash that scored my thigh. I started licking my chest, smoothing out the ruffled fur. I purred as he licked behind my ears. it tickled! He seemed to acnowlege this and licked my ears harder. I rolled on top of him laughing and purring. Thankfully we were alone. all the other jellicles had decided to give us some privacy. I looked down on his face, his cheeky grin. I had loved him so much before i was captured. but i had never told him, how my heart had ached for him all these years.
he pulled me closer. he pulled me up to my paws. i looked deep into his eyes. he bent his head and gently put his lips to mine. I returned the kiss. It was shortlived, but i was satisfied. i sighed and burried my head in his chest-fur, and he rested him chin gently on my head so as not to hurt me.
"I love you Azkonda."
"I Love you too Mungojerrie..."
But I knew this wasn't the end of things.
