~*Secret Lives*~

I sat in my den waiting for my mate to come home. I combed my almost white fur, and gazed up into the sky and prayed to the everlasting cat.

"Please, if you're listening; give me courage to stand up to Plato and be honest to others, and myself."

The door crashed open and Plato came in drunk, he started boasting how he 'got them kits good.'

I stared at him,

"What kits?" I asked

"Pouncival and Tumblebrutus started causing trouble so we fixed them up good" he said smugly.

I looked at him horrorfied he then stared at me confused,

"What?" he asked arching a brow at me

"What the hell were you thinking?!" I screeched he got mad and hit me, hard.

I fell to the floor and started to sob,

"Shut up!" he exclaimed and slapped me.

I shook my head,

"No" I muttered I then stood up "No more running, no more tears, no more lies, no more us!"

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away.

I sat outside mine and my Mums den I saw something, something unforgettable and unforgivable.

"Jemima let me out"

"No Sylvani"

"You know what I'll do if you don't let me out."

I sighed and gave up, I don't mind being trapped in my own mind it sounds weird but it's a good place to think, I thought about my Mum, I thought about my Dad but then the screeches of Pouncival and Tumblebrutus echoed through my head. I gasped and shrieked

"Let me out!" Sylvani isn't evil she's just my other half, she let me out.

"What's the matter" she asked

"I – I got afraid" I replied.

Sillabub scoffed "Poor ickle Jemmy!" Sylvani scolded her.

Sillabub is my evil half she plays with my mind, but I didn't really think she was cruel enough to taunt me like this.

There were the screeches of Pounce and Tumble again followed by the laughter of Plato and Alonzo.

"See Jem you could have stopped that but you didn't did you its your fault."

I shook my head and screeched

"No!"

Grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...

To let you blame it on me

And set your guilt free

I don't want to hold you back now love

I can't change who I am

Not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me

And in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up

My love wasn't enough

**

I twitched my eyes open and turned on my side. My brother was still un - conscious,

"Stupid Plato" I mumbled.

My eyes widened "Jemima" I looked over I heard faint sobbing, decided not to move just yet I couldn't move much anyway.

She started to pray;

"God give me courage to stand up for those who need help and to gain control over my other half."

I sighed and made my own prayer

"Everlasting cat, if you're listening please watch over her and regain my brother back to health."

My brother is stronger than me but I have more energy than him and I got away for a while.

I heard running of footsteps

"Pouncival!" and in a flash Victoria was there leaning over me

"Are you okay?" she asked frantically I nodded.

Tumble stirred and groaned,

"Oww."

Jemima popped her head then burst out sobbing yet again, she ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me,

"I-I'm s-s-sorry" she hiccupped, I wiped her tears away.

"No need for tears, no need for apologies, there isn't anything to apologies for."

You lied to me

But I'm older now

And I'm not buying baby

Demanding my response

Don't bother breaking the door down

I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again
