Hello. As Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are cockney in this they are using proper cockney slang, however at the bottom I'll tell you what the words mean in normal english. Enjoy :D

Chapter 1

"All I want is for you to be good little kittens! Do the job right then come back without the client complaining. But it seems you can't do that even though there's two of you!" Macavity roared. He was standing in a small metal cell, two identical kittens were huddled in a corner, shaking with fear. Macavity slowly walked over to them, grinning as they whimpered, flinching before he came near them. He took the lighter (in colour) kitten by the arm and flung her across the room. She hit a wall and didn't get up. The other kitten curled into a ball, desperately trying to protect his head.

"Get up you good for nothing kit!" He snarled at the cowering kitten. It got up slowly, keeping it's eyes fixed on the angry red tom.

"That's better" Macavity said in a quieter voice, no longer shouting. Suddenly he threw a paw at the kitten, watching him fall onto the hard metal floor of the cell.

"Mungojerrie, you and your sister are going to have to learn that I don't tolerate late kittens" He knelt down next to Mungojerrie and ran a paw up his back, causing Mungojerrie to scream in pain as Macavity's claw dug into his skin. Blood instantly seeped out, onto the cold floor.

"Now what about Rumpleteazer? What should I do to her?" He asked the screaming form of Mungojerrie. "Kick her, bite her? Or maybe scratch her until she bleeds to death?" Macavity suggested. "Well I would. But you two are very valuable to me and I wouldn't anycat to kill you." He continued. "Yet!" Macavity laughed manically as he strode out of the cell, the door slamming shut behind him. Mungojerrie crawled over to Rumpleteazer, trying to yelp as each movement sent a wave of pain over him.

"Teaze. Please Teazer, wake up! Rumpleteazer!" He cried desperately trying to shake Rumpketeazer awake. But she wouldn't, Macavity had almost sent her into a coma, the only reason he hadn't was because the twins were too good as thieves for that.

Macavity strolled into his office, giggling to himself as he replayed the last 30 minutes in his head. He jumped neatly into the human desk chair and lounged back, absent-mindingly running his claws through the wooden desk.

Macavity looked confusingly at the two tiger-striped kittens that were standing in front of him.

"You want to work for me?" He asked. The kittens looked at each other nervously and nodded.

"Well then, you'd better prove yourselves hadn't you?" The two kittens nodded again and one stepped frowards.

"We're thieves. Ain't no cat or human caught us yet. Bu' we're also figh'ers, no cat 'as beaten us." The kitten said proudly, it's thick cockney accent momentarily confusing Macavity.

"Shall we test your thieving skills?" Macavity said, a sly grin playing on his face. He looked pointedly at the taller of the kittens who was yet to say anything. "I will put several items on display, some of worth, some not. In turn you must find the ones of worth and return them to me. If you both can do this without mistakes then you can join me, if not, well, then you will be handed over to one of my many clients" He told the two kittens. The kitten's eyes widened and Macavity signalled for them to leave. Once they had left and the door shut Macavity placed several pieces of gold and silver jewellery in places, with fake in others, then he called for the first kitten to come back in. It was the smaller one, and although it was shaking, it's head was held proudly.

"We are going to have a conversation about you most recent exploits, while you try to steal my jewellery." Macavity said. The kitten looked confused but soon started to speak, while it slowly began to sidle over to the bookshelf.

"Oi, OI mean, me an' me one an' other 'ave recently been stealin' some very chicken an' rice gold an' silver Tom Foolery from some chicken an' rice ca' an' mouses." It began to say, quickly taking a pair of gold earrings, having ignored the two necklaces that were next to it. Macavity nodded as the kitten spoke, but truthfully he had no idea what it was saying half the time. The kitten continued to speak, however within minutes it darted out of the room, paws full with jewellery. It was soon returned back into the room by a henchcat.

"What have you got?" Macavity asked as he jumped down from his human chair and strolled over to the kitten. It eagerly displayed its paws, and Macavity picked up each item, becoming slightly infuriated as the kitten had picked up no fakes. But he smiled and the kitten went, the other coming in. The same thing happened again and instead of getting angry Macavity became impressed at the kitten's skill. When they both entered for a final time then he nodded immediately and a henchcat whisked them off for their first assignment.

Macavity lent back in his chair, smiling at the memory. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Macavity sat up straight. He would never be seen smiling unless it was something bad ever.s
