If you read chapter one and didn't review, know that I am disappointed in you.

Chapter two – Say What?!

Previously: The four kittens stared at Munku's face, which held a mask of surprise, pain, horror and to their fear, hatred.

"You two better come with me, we need to talk to Old Deuteronomy," Munku said stiffly, as he began heading towards the old tire.

Jemima and Victoria looked at each other in fear before slowly following their father.

"I brought them here to ask you what I should do"

Munku had just finished telling Old Deuteronomy what Jemima had told him. The two kittens were looking at each other in fear, anxiously waiting for Deuteronomy to speak.

Deuteronomy frowned before saying, "Do you two disagree with this code because you think it's unfair to other cats, or because it's preventing you from mating with a certain cat?"

"It's preventing us from mating with who we actually love." Victoria said promptly.

Deuteronomy and Munkustrap exchange a quick glance prior to Deuteronomy saying, "Is there something wrong with Misto Victoria? I'm sure you wouldn't want to break his kind heart would you? And what about you Jemima? Young Tumblebrutus would make a wonderful mate for you."

"Misto doesn't even like me! Wouldn't it make more sense for me to mate someone like Plato?" Victoria questioned.

"First of all, you must follow the code and mate with Misto. Second, who else would he mate with?" Munkustrap pointed out.

"Me," Jemima said quietly.

Victoria smiled at Jemima but was shocked to see horror wash through Munkustrap and Deuteronomy's fur.

"You know it's forbidden for red cats to mate with black ones Jemima," Deuteronomy said slowly.

"Well then why did you mate with Demeter dad? Wasn't she suppose to mate with a white cat?" Jemima asked Munku.

"Well, I'm kinda white…" Munku said uncertainly, before adding, "Plus she's not totally black so we let it go"

"Well I'm only partly red! Why can't I mate with Misto?" Jemima complained.

"You are still red. Besides, if you mate with Misto, Victoria would not have a mate," Deuteronomy rumbled.

"What's so bad with Jemima mating Misto and me mating Plato that we have to all break each others hearts just to follow a stupid code!" Victoria demanded.

Munku sighed and looked at Deuteronomy, who nodded, before saying, "We didn't want to tell you this until you were older, but I think you should know."

He had them all sit comfortably before continuing with his story.

"In Old Deuteronomy's generation, there were two cats, Draconian, who was black, and Ballista, who was red. They knew the code would prevent them from mating, but they hid their relationship well, and Ballista ended up producing a kitten. Though the couple tried to hide it, they couldn't deny he was their son since the kit was the only black and red tom in the tribe. Our previous leader Volkanin, banished the couple from the tribe abut couldn't bear to force innocent little Macavity away. So the whole tribe raised him."

Victoria and Jemima looked at each other in shock, but didn't interrupt Munku's story.

"I'm sure you both know who Macavity is. When he reached adulthood, he killed a young cat named Slavonic, because he saw Macavity raping black queen. When Slavonic tried to tell Volkanin, Macavity killed him before anyone could find out. Unfortunately for him, the queen got a chance to tell Volkanin, and Macavity was exiled. In cold rage, Macavity killed our leader, and left. However, he didn't know at the time that he had an heir coming. To this day, he still doesn't know he has an offspring"

"Macavity has a child? Who is he? And who is the mother?" Jemima asked in a flurry.

Another glance was exchanged between Munku and Deuteronomy, before the Jellicle murmured, "she has a right to know."

Munku nodded and said angrily but sadly, "Demeter is the mother of Macavity's daughter."

"D…Demeter?" Victoria stuttered.

"Daughter?" Jemima shrieked.

"I am sure you two have always wondered why you look so different from each other. It's because you're half sisters. From the moment Jemima was born, we knew Macavity had an heir." Munku stated.

Jemima's eyes went wide before she fainted into the arms of her sister. Victoria looked in shock at her sister, wondering what to do with the news. A minute later, Jemima woke up followed by a hesitant question from Victoria.

"How is it possible for us to be born at the same time if you're my dad? Wouldn't I be Macavity's daughter too?"

"We didn't even know Demeter was carrying his kits, because we thought they were mine. You see, after I had mated with Demeter, that's when Macavity raped her. We don't know how it happened, but you Victoria, look so much more like me than Macavity. Jemima however, looks very much like Macavity. So we figured some of me and some of Macavity got your mother pregnant."

Jemima suddenly burst into tears and embraced Victoria, who soon joined her in the tearfest.

Munku and Deuteronomy waited patiently for the two kittens to stop crying, before Munku said gently to Jemima, "Do you see now why we don't want you to mate with Misto? We're afraid that if you ever have kittens, they'll end up like Macavity, especially since Misto has magical powers too."

Jemima nodded sadly, but Victoria didn't give up that quickly and asked, "Can I still mate with Plato though?"

Deuteronomy sighed and said, "First of all, you still need to follow the code. Second, it wouldn't be fair to young Jemima if you got your way and she didn't. You will mate with Misto"

Victoria looked like she wanted to argue, but thought better of it before giving Deuteronomy a curt nod, and walking off with Jemima behind her.

Munku sighed as he watched the two kittens walk off. "I hope we did the right thing," he murmured to Deuteronomy.

"So do I son, so do I."

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX

I hope you enjoyed that. I apologize if you don't like the names I made up names but I suck at it so forgive me.

Anyways, I would to ask everyone few questions.

First, do you think the kittens should get their way in the end of be forced to follow the code?

Second, do you think Misto should get a chapter with his POV?

Please answer those two questions in your reviews and I'll carefully consider what to do.

Thanks!
