Hey guys! Well this is my first story/drabble on this archive... Please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Cats, and the song is based on the original song, 'Mother Superior' by Coheed and Cambria, with some lyrical changes. Check out the original song!
'Brother Superior'
He couldn't see any doctors. Who would want to nurse a felon back to life? He couldn't do anything about it. Macavity was due for death within 24 hours. He had done so many crimes, but no matter how many times he tried to kill his family...he couldn't bring himself to do it. So he planned his last crime. He was going to kidnap his baby brother, Pouncival, and kill him.
Against all medical advice that he never got, he went out into the cold, and into his old house. His older brother was in his own den with HIS ex-mate. His brother was dating HIS ex-girlfriend. He reached into his mother and father's nursery and found the tiny sleeping kitten, and snatched him.
Back in the warehouse...
The kit wouldn't shut up. Mac needed to kill the baby now. He was due to die within this hour. He held up the knife, but the baby was screaming so loud that he could get discovered. Macavity began to cradle the baby, sitting on the counter, cooing him gently. He was feeling weaker. Much weaker. Macavity then sighed, and looked back on his life, while it was slowly ending. He began to hum,
"Here...sleep...at the bottom of hell
It's my time to pick the road
That this isn't that tale
They said I turned in as a coward
In hell
It's time to lay down and die
There's so much to tell"
The baby began to weep again, setting the anger in Macavity, but he couldn't yell. It hurt too much,
"You've not seen the worst of me!
And of course I understand!
No, I know you're just a boy,
So grow up and be a man
Little baby
Kicking, you scream
And whine
My victims pay the price eventually
Too bad I can't see your lies
You have nothing to prove
Stay afraid
Young brother
You've got nothing to prove"
And Macavity had to be right. A baby of Pouncival's age couldn't even process what happened five minutes ago. He had absolutely nothing to prove. Macavity picked up the gun, getting into a coughing fit. He could have sworn he coughed blood.
"Your answer is in there
To stand out the bottom and
Their sincerest appologies
Won't write you out of this one tonight
You'll see the light
In the pull of the trigger
Don't bite
Young fool
Don't cry
Anymore"
The baby had laid his head on Mac's scarlet shoulder, and Macavity realized he was swaying. He began to cough again and sat on the sofa. As the baby began to stir again, he shushed him,
"Fear sleeps inside your stomach
It swells
A tom boy has come in need of fix
One to cure the itch
And too long
This little baby cries on
Tomorrow they'll sing the words in song
Of a time when clouds dragged on
You've not seen the worst of me!
And of course I understand,
No, I know you're just a boy
Now grow up and be man
Little baby
Kicking, you scream
And whine
My victims pay the price eventually!
Of course I'll see the lies,"
He held the trigger to Pouncival's head, but his hand collapsed in protest,
"Aurgghhhh!
You have nothing to prove!
Stay afraid
young Brother
You have nothing to prove
Your answer
Is in there
To stand out the bottom, and
Their sincerest appologies
Won't write you out of this one tonight
You'll find the light!
In the pull of the trigger
Don't bite
Young fool
Don't cry
Oh!
Not anymore
Don't cry
Not anymore
Don't cry
Not anymore, oh
Don't cry
When you stuck in this feeling
Just pull out the knife
Oh no...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
He set the baby on the couch, and as he pointed the gun at him, Macavity had a revelation. This is purely out of vengeance...his brother took his position and mate from him, his parents didn't enjoy their oldest child... But this wasn't the answer. He threw the gun to the wall before coughing up a little more blood, dizzy and tired,
"If you're stuck in this feeling
Just pull out the knife, oh no
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh young fool
Don't cry
Anymore"
He then doubled over in pain, and crumpled down onto the floor, the baby laying on the sofa. He sighed, thinking that the cops would be here within an hour, finding him and the baby. He began to sing slowly but softly, as his eyes were drooping,
"Brother superior
Come catch the rabbit, he runs
How time has come
Watching the lean and hear
Soft little purring so near
Oh, your answer is in there
To stand out the bottom, and
My sincerest appologies
Won't write me out of this one tonight
I'll soon see the light
In the pull of the trigger
I'll strive
Oh young fool
Don't cry
Anymore"
And with that, the ginger cat slowly closed his eyes, his last breaths escaping him, leaving his exterior body behind, his soul rose up to be reborn. And even though he past away, he had seen the error of his ways, and with that, he got the opportunity to be reborn into a new cat, and to live his life a different way.
And today, Pouncival is 9, and as a boy, he is doing fine. But he remembers his brother as his earliest memories, though he doesn't remember the gun. And as he walks into the cemetary, he looks down onto his elder brothers tombstone.
Here Lies Macavity
The Real Mystery Cat
And as Pouncival sat in thought, a single tear escaped his eye as ye thought and thought, striving to see what happened that night. But all he remembers is a song. He looks down onto the grave, and sets a flower on it, the tear sliding down his face,
"Young fools
Don't cry
Anymore."
