I watched as Spartan was dragged from the room, glupping down my sobs I turned to my father.
"Please father he didn't-"
"STOP DEFENDING HIM!"
I crawled backwards, away from my father's wrath, but with every inch I retreated he took a step foward.
"YOU ARE WORTHLESS! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK!" He was spitting every syllable like a curse as he gained on me. "You are as useless as your mother, you are weak, you have no honor, at least your disobedient retch of a twin has some courage but all you have is the fur upon your back."
He was standing over me now as I was curled against the stone of the wall.
I felt tears running down my face as I looked into my father's blood red eyes and saw my reflection, a filthy, beaten piece of rag with bright blue eyes. He was right.
I swallowed trying to gain what little courage I could and hissed at my father. He snarled ferally and backhanded me, like my brother, across the face knocking me towards the door, there was a coppery taste in my mouth as I shakely rose to all fours.
I could hear my father growl for behind me and roar. "GET OUT!"
I jumped to my feet and dashed from the room still clutching onto my bleeding arm. I ran down the halls of the warehouse trying to get as far away as I could. I could feel my tears and blood running down my face as I weaved my way through the verious objects in the halls and the henchcats who stood and sweared at me as I pushed past.
I turned the corner towards the nests when I crashed into a white, grey, yellow, black and ginger blur.
"OW!"
I was knocked to the floor, whacking my head. my mind was spinning as I looked up at the livid face of a henchcat.
MUM!
My paws were aching as I walked into the city centre. The night was freezing but at least it was dry unlike the outskirts. Jemima was sleeping in my arms as I walked through the diserted streets following the scent of home.
As I padded along a cold path I heard a loud hearty laugh coming from a grand building and through a cat door came a familiar face, two in fact.
"BUSTOPHER! QUAXO!"
The two tuxedo cats looked up at me and gave loud gasps.
"DEMETER!"
Quaxo ran towards me, a huge smile on his face. The almost teen came up to me and nuzzled against my head, I returned the nuzzle and looked to see Bustopher hobbling over as quickly as the overweight tom could. I jogged up to him and he embraced me gently.
"Miss Demeter, thank Everlasting you are okay!"
I shushed him and gestered to my sleeping kitten. I large toms eyes grew large as he looked at Jemima. In a much quieter tone he said. "Who is this?"
I looked down and smiled gently down at Jemi. "This is my daughter, Jemima."
Quaxo peeked from behind my arm at my daughter, his eyes softening at the sight of her sleeping form. "She's so small."
I chuckled. "Yes, she is."
Bustopher gently stroked Jemi's headfur and smiled gently. "She's very like you Miss Demeter, but we can catch up later first we must get you home, come along Quaxo."
"Yes uncle."
The tuxedo toms started down the street escourting me back home. It's good to be back.
I paced my cell angerally running my claws along the nearby wall.
I did the right thing, I helped mother and Jemi and soon Octem and I will escape! I smiled at the thought. Yes and then we can have adventures and a proper family just like mother said, back at the junkyard.
I smiled even wider and levitated above the ground. It felt good, I felt free! I laughed gleefully and did a backflip landing on thin air. I dropped to my feet and did a handstand. Yeah! then I could find a queenfriend, someone fun and exciting, who knows how to have fun but she has to be cute of course.
I closed my eyes painting a picture in my head of home and my dream queen. I was so absorbed in my fantasy that I didn't hear the henchcats enter until I was pushed out of my handstand and onto the floor.
I looked up to the faces of three black toms who smiled evily down at me. "Good evening your highness."
They raised their paws and gave toothy grins. "Daddy says hi."
A/N- finished hope you enjoyed. R&R
