Cassandra sighed and flicked her tail. She had just learned that Demeter, her best friend, had been raped my Macavity when she just a kitten. She got up, stretched, and fell back down onto her plump red cushion. The dark brown, almost red queen sighed again and mused.
'I wish I could comfort her, but I don't know how to act, let alone what facial expression to wear, or what to say to her. It'd be easier if she hadn't have told he at all, that prat.'
She ran a paw through her headfur and sat up on the cushion. She had an idea worthy of the Everlasting Cat him or herself. A paw cut the curtain separating her room from the rest of the Jellicle Cat commoners, alerting the queen. A tiger striped queen stepped inside and sat next to Cassandra. The said Jellicle reached over and brought the cat into a fierce hug.
"Demeter, I'm so sorry. If I could, I would've traded places with you in a heartbeat. No kitten that young needs to go through that." Demeter sat shell shocked, before shaking hre head and looking back at her friend with grateful eyes.
"Thank you," She whispered. Cassandra gave a wry smile, her whiskers quivering, trying to hold back the tears. She blinked, but they spilt out anyway. Demeter started crying as well.
"Its the least I could do, Demeter," The Siamese choked out. She wiped her tears, and then kissed Demeter on the head, making the queen's ears twitch. Cassandra lay down on the cushion, with Demeter sprawled on top of her.
The tabby sobbed into Cassandra's chest as the Siamese stroked her headfur.
"I love you, and I'd do anything for you," She whispered.
