DEMETER'S KITTENHOOD

Abby's POV

It was a beautiful night, with the sky filled with brilliant, blinking stars. I was taking my usual evening stroll and I decided to stop at a field to look up at the stars and rest. A lot had been on my mind lately. Many of my friends had gone to what we average people call "the dark side" or they became a "popular". It's not that the popular people are bad it's just that the people who a called weirdos and stuff are usually really talented just like the populars. So why aren't the people who are just the same as the populars, popular? I tried to push the question out my head. Right now was me time.

I was just about ready to drift to sleep, when I heard a noise that sounded like it was in pain. I followed the sound. First I walked, Next jogged, And Then sprinted. When I got to the rose bush, I saw tiny curled up black and gold creature. I gasped when I first saw it. The creature might've been covered in blood, but it was gorgeous. I gently picked up the tiny kitten at least I think it was a kitten. And held it close to me.

I ran home as fast as my 11 year old legs could carry me. Conveniently my mom was a veterinarian. She would know what to do.

I finally arrived at home. Usually I would give our kitten a pat when I came in, but I was in a hurry. "Mom!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "What?" I heard her call back. "I found a bleeding kitten that hasn't even opened its eyes yet."

My mom came storming out of the kitchen. I knew the drill. Step one bring the injured animal into the kitchen and lay it on the table. Step two let Mom do all the work. Step three hope for the animal's survival.

Soon Mom was done and she told that it was probably going to make it. I was about to respond when I heard our cat (err, kitten) meowing at my feet. I guess he wanted to meet the new kitten.

"Here you go Tommy!" I set down the tiny gold and black kitten. "We're going to need a name for this kitten. "Hmm how 'bout Violet?" I suggested. "Violet it is then!"

Munkustrap's POV

It's just not normal for Abby to come in and not pet me. I know I'm being selfish, but it tells me that she does love me. There better be a good reason for this. So I sat at her feet in the kitchen meowing in protest, but instead of patting me on the head, she put down a tiny newborn kitten. Might as well check if she's a jellicle. I picked her up by the scruff of the neck and laid her down in my cat bed. I noticed she was curled up into a ball, so I spread her out. She had a pure white chest. (which means she's a jellicle). I also noticed that when she was spread out I noticed that she had been hiding an even tinier kitten that looked just like her. The bigger kitten started to open her eyes.

"Hewp me and my sista pwease!" I started to meow as loud as I could. Abby came running into the room. "Mommy, there's another one!" I watched her as she picked up the smaller one. The older one, Violet, came over to me, looking pretty frightened. I tried to console her "You and your sister are ok. These people will help you." She leaned up against me and started to cry. "It's ok. Don't cry. How 'bout I take you to my friends? They're very nice and they will take care of you."

"Will dey take caew of my sista?"

"Yes I promise."

"Okay."

"I'll be right back, I need to get some people to help take you there."

"Okay. Buh-Bye!"

I finally arrived at the junkyard out of breath. "Alonzo I need you NOW!"

"Why would you need me?"

"Because there's two newborn kittens at my owner's house that Abby rescued and one just opened its eyes!"

"Oh."

"Well what are you waiting for? Move it!"

As we approached my house I saw Violet pacing outside our house, probably waiting for me. "Dere you aw!" We went inside and got her little sister. I put her on Alonzo's back. Violet refused for me to carry her.

"I thought you said she just opened her eyes." Alonzo whispered.

"She did. She must catch on fast."

On the way Alonzo, Violet and I started up a conversation while her little sister slept. "So Violet, what happened to you and your sister?"

"Fiwst of awl cawl me Dem-uh-tah. And secund of awl, I don't know what happen'." She seemed to get in a trance when she said the second part."All I know is that at my other sister and I were being scratched to death, my big sister got away, but we didn't. I didn't want Jem-ee-ma to get hurt so I curled up around her to protect her."

Alonzo complemented her on that "Why you're a brave little kitten aren't ya?"

"Huh?" she looked at him confused."I didn' say anyting."

Alonzo and I shrugged. Apparently she was some sort of magical cat or she didn't feel comfortable talking about it.

We arrived at the junkyard to find hugs and welcomes. I think Demeter was getting overwhelmed. Suddenly Bomburlarina jumped on her screaming "Sissy!" At first Demeter was startled then she hugged her back. They both started crying and smiling and giggling.

"I missed you! How is Jemmy?"

"Fine."

"Did 'he' hurt you much more?"

"Well…" Her voice trailed off.

"Ahh I see."
