This is for BroadwayKhaos's Jellicle Week!
Sunday- Set in owner's house.
Jellicle- My love, Admetus.
I sit on my poofy pillow and just give my mom, Jellylorum the death stare. I live with my mom and my little brother and sister Pouncival and Etcetera. I have three other siblings who live with each other but a different house. My owner's are boring and stinky. Its just a little old woman, her name is Gertrude and a little old man, Albert. I feel a little wrinkly hand on my back. I purr, heck how am I supposed NOT to purr. It feels so wonderful and enchanting.
" Oh my, Doesn't Reuben like getting petted!" Albert laughed to himself.
At this point, I guess your wondering. Who is Reuben? I am Reuben. That's the name that the family use daily. Or my pet name, other than that all the Jellicles call me Admetus. I see Pounce and Cettie wrestling around with each other. BOOM goes the fake flowers.
Gertrude scolds them " Winkie! Rolly! Be more careful!"
Winkie is Pouncival's pet name. Etcetera's pet name is Rolly. Jellylorum's pet name is Stella.
Pouncival whispers into Ectetera's ear " Ger-turd is mean!"
Out the corner of my eye, I see Albert taking off his shirt. I see his old, hairy, wrinkly chest. Yuck. Guess what's happening today.
The grandchildren are coming over. I mean they aren't THAT bad. Well, actually they are horrible. I hate them, I despise them, I envy them. I mean honestly, they take up all of Gertrude and Albert's attention. They make them brunch and talk to them while they pull our tails and pet us to hard.
Ding- Dong! That's the doorbell, and it means that the devils are here. I can't remember their names. There are two boys, one with brown hair and another with blonde. There is one girl, she had blonde hair, and enjoys dressing me and Etcetera up in her doll clothes that DON'T fit.
Gertrude opens the door, in comes the stampede. They first go to my mom, Jellylorum and pet her, hard. Her ears flatten down and she scratches the blonde haired boy. The thick red blood just pours out of his arm. You're probably thinking, wait Jellylorum is caring and nice. To kits NOT to KIDS!
" Naughty Stella." Gertrude picks up my mom and carries her to her cage. Albert takes the little boy to the kitchen to treat his wound. The kids haven't noticed me yet, so I can probably sneak out to the bedroom. The brown hair boy spotted Pouncival and immediately start to roll his toy trucks onto his back. He likes it and rolls onto his back and rolls around, teasing him. Then from across the room I see the little boy grab Pouncival , well, bad parts, the parts were the sun don't shine. His jewels, his pride. You get it, Pounce bites the boy's hand and kicks him away. I see Etcetera over by the couch and is trembling in fear.
" Cettie! Run to the bedroom and hide under the bed!" I whisper as I jump off my poofy pillow. She slowly nods and stalks away. I ran as fast as my stubby legs can take me. But not fast enough the little girl picks me up, I claw and scratch. The girl doesn't care. Its as if she is numb, the blood seeps out of her wounds. She strips her Raggedy Ann doll and starts to dress me with the blue checkered dress. I yowl. Gertrude and Albert don't seem to mind, their attention is to the two boys. I see Etcetera peering out the bedroom door I mouth " Leave me."
After she is done dressing me she shouts " Were is ROLLY?" My ears are blasted with her loud mouth.
I shake off the clothes, they won't come off for ANYTHING! They are hooked to my collar, I sigh and hide underneath the bed. I see Etcetera who is shaking. " She is looking for you, Cettie."
" ROLLY!" The girl screams.
Etcetera hides underneath a cover and peeks out a bit. I feel the thumping of the girl's footsteps. I look at Etcetera under the cover. Her tail is sticking out. I see the girl lean down and try to grab her tail.
" CETTIE! LOOK OUT!" I yowl. It was too late. I hear the hissing and growling of my sister. I hear the Crack Snapple Pop of her tail. I peer out the from the bottom of the bed. The little girl is swinging Etcetera by her TAIL! I see Cettie claw the girl's green eye. The little girl lets go of my sister and I hear the loud thump of Cettie hitting the closet and the wailing of the girl crying.
I am sure her tail is broken. She cowers into the bed right by me. I comfort her by licking her fluffy fur. Her tail is crooked. She slowly whimpers and falls asleep. I do too. When I wake up, Etcetera is no longer by me. The house is almost silent except for the Wheel of Fortune on the television. I slowly prowl out of the bedroom and look around. Mom is out of the cage, Pouncival is cuddling up with her. I look around for my sister, I see nor smell her.
" Were is Cettie?" I ask.
Jellylorum looks up " Albert and Gertrude took her to the vet. Her tail is broken ,we think."
The hours pass, The door opens up and I see Etcetera and her tail is coiled with tape around it. We all give her a lick of comfort. She slowly smiles and whispers " Thank you for being nice to me."
