Victoria ran after Mistofelees. She ran to his pipe, he wasn't there. She asked as many jellicles she could find. They all said the same thing.

" Nope haven't seen him Victoria, sorry." Munkustrap said. Victoria sighed.

" But I love him." She whispered to herself. Her whisper was so quiet that it was barely audible. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of black and white.

" Quaxo?" She whispered. She snuck out the entrance of the junkyard. She could hear Mistofelees crying.

" It's not like Quaxo to cry. Something must be very wrong." Victoria gasped. Victoria found Mistofelees sitting in front of the brick wall, his knees close to his chest. Victoria approached him. Mistofelees looked up, his white fur under his eyes turned light gray from the tears.

" Oh Quaxo." Victoria whispered. She sat next to him, she stroked the black fur on top of his head. She rubbed his black ears.

" It's okay Mistofelees. What has gotten you worked up like this?"

Mistofelees looked up.

" Macavity, I teleported to his lair, he has RUMPLETEAZER! He's going to steal another female, most likely you, then he's going to get Mungojerrie worked up again, so he can kill me without getting his paws dirty. It's a very good plan, but I don't want to die." Mistofelees wiped his eyes and sat up.

" I'm sorry you had to see me like that Victoria." Mistofelees whispered. Victoria rubbed up against Mistofelees. Sorrow filling her heart. She had never seen Mistofelees so upset that it would make him cry. " Its okay misto, I understand, nobody wants to die. But now we have a bigger problem on our hands. We need to rescue Rumpleteazer. And somehow get Mungojerrie to understand that you don't love Rumpleteazer, so that he doesn't go crazy again." Mistofelees nodded.

" Do you want to go and tell Munkustrap?" Victoria asked. " Not right now. Just stay here with me." Mistofelees whispered. He stared at the star lit sky. Wondering.

Victoria laid her head on Mistofelees chest. She never felt so protected in her life. She never wanted the moment to end. Just her and Misto. Sitting under the stars. Away from the stress of Jellicle life. " We should be getting back.

" Mistofelees said as they stood up. Victoria nodded her head agreement. Then paw in paw, Victoria and Mistofelees walked back to the Junkyard in silence. There were no words to be said. Mistofelees felt weird. He had never had this feeling before. He couldn't explain it. He never wanted to let go of Victoria's paw. He remembered back to when he and his brother Rum Tum Tugger were young adults.

"I'm in love Misto! With Bombalurina!" Tugger had run into Mistofelees pipe yowling in delight.

" That's great Tugger." Mistoffelees had said. He had seen all the females and males who were in love, always drooling over each other. Never saying a word as they sat next to each other purring." I'll never fall for a queen!" Mistofelees had said to his brother.

"Taking care of a family would get in the way of my work, I need to always make sure that all my supplies are here, you never know when Macavity might steal it, and he could force me to join his side." Mistofelees said. But now he ignored all of his memories. He was in love, with Victoria. Every time she entered his pipe or when he saw her in the junkyard. He would smile, and his heart would leap like Tumblebrutus would when he saw Electra coming. But, he wouldn't run away from Victoria. He looked at his beloved, her white fur glowing in the Jellicle moonlight.

" Victoria, I-" She looked at him. He couldn't dare express his feelings. It was too hard. He had to wait till the time was right.

Victoria stared at Mistofelees. What was he trying to say? She longed to throw her arms around his neck, kissing him. But she didn't. What if he didn't love her?

" What is it?" She asked again. Mistofelees stared at her. His eyes loving and caring.

" Victoria, I love the way your eyes sparkle like diamonds. It makes you look like an angle. With your white fur and you beautiful blue eyes." He sighed. Victoria was touched by the words Mistofelees had said. Her throat. She started to tear. She loved Mistofelees. But Victoria knew that Plato loved her more. But for some reason. She only wanted Plato as a friend. Then, an evil laugh split the air.

" MACAVITY!" Victoria heard Demeter yell.

" No duh." Victoria whispered.

" VICTORIA BEHIND YOU!" Mistofelees yelled. Victoria tried to dodge to the side but failed. Macavity grabbed her and lifted her up off the ground.

" MISTOFELEES! HELP ME! DON'T LET HIM TAKE ME AWAY!" Victoria screeched in terror. Soon all of the Jellicles were trying to get a whack at Macavity. But they all failed. Macavity got two wires and split them in half, shorting out the power, within seconds the streets of New York were black. Then Macavity disappeared. Taking Victoria with him.
