And yes. This Is revenge for your fic! U kill an awesome character, I hit Quaxo with a brush!)
enjoy!
Quaxo lay, awake, in another part of Jenny and Skimble's den. Dried tears had soaked his face. His bandages were still around his gashed forehead.
He hates me. All because Macavity hurt him and Cassandra left him. I wish she would get her common sense back and go back to him. She made him so happy. He's still alive. Why doesn't he appreciate that the everlasting cat helped him during that fight?
Quaxo flashed back to the day that Alonzo had nearly killed him. He was about to leave when Alonzo had thrown the brush at him. Munkustrap had rushed him to Jenny to stop his head from bleeding even more. Jenny had insisted that he stay near her. He remembered passing out on the way to find her. He awoke to find himself in a bed of blankets and pillows at her den. Munk and Jenny were talking about him.
"He will stay with me for now.", Jenny had stated stubbornly.
"I'm sure he will be fine with me and Demeter.", Munkustrap replied.
"Yes he would but I want to make sure that I'm with him in case he gets hurt even worse because of his head. Besides, who knows what a blow like that could have done to his magic!"
"Very well. He'll stay with you.", Munk had said, giving into the argument.
Quaxo felt scared to go near his brother. Alonzo had never even said a sour word to him, much less tried to hurt him. Quaxo started to tremble at the thought of his brother. He sat up, deciding to take a walk to clear his mind. He knew Jenny would refuse to go out now and felt like being by himself anyways. He walked out of the den and into the warm night.
Walking in the night normally made him feel less alone, but not tonight. He walked over to the special place his brother had found for him. It was an old dishwasher that no one had claimed. Quaxo used it as a place he went to when he needed to be alone. He sat down on the arrangement of blankets and pillows. He began to sing, something he would rarely do.
"Chasing these shadows around this darkened room
I don't even want to move
I need a minute now to heal
I need a minute now to remember how to feel."
He remembered seeing the brush. It flew right at him. He didn't have time to move. Alonzo had always been kind to him. He remembered the one thing that came to his mind when he thought of his brother.
Alonzo sat in an old, soggy box, his little brother clinging to him in fear. A pollicle had found them while they were out hunting and had gone after the easier prey. Alonzo had defended his younger brother, eventually getting them there. They were going to wait the night out there, just in case.
"I'm sorry Alonzo.", Quaxo whimpered sadly as he cried into his brother's chest fur. "I didn't mean for the dog to chase me. He just wouldn't leave!"
"I know. It wasn't your fault. It's a pollicle, it would have chased you no matter what.", Alonzo had said, trying to comfort his brother.
"But-but I should have tried to use my magic."
"And you would have hurt yourself, just like last time. I'm glad you didn't. You don't have full control yet. I would have taken on that pollicle for you anytime. I would never let anything happen to you."
Quaxo lifted his head to look at his brother.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
They had made it home safely the next day, also being fused over by Jenny and Jelly sense they both had scrapes and cuts from the fight. Quaxo flashed back to the present. He began to sing again.
"Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts 'til you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black"
He wiped away the tears that started to fall from his brown eyes.
"I reached out for you when I needed you to be here
All alone chasing these shadows
I don't want the pain but I'd rather hurt than not care
It's so long, you've been away from here
I need a reason now to heal
I need something to believe in
I need a reason now to remember how to feel"
Quaxo didn't here the soft footsteps outside the dishwasher. It was Victoria, Quaxo's cousin. She stood a little ways away, behind an old doll, listening to his song.
"Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts 'til you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black"
Victoria was worried about her cousins. They were always so close, but now, one had attacked the other. It wasn't like Alonzo to act in such a way. They were the closest siblings in the junkyard, not counting Tantomile and Coricopat. Victoria slunk away to the den she shared with Jellyorem, sadness at her cousin's song sinking in.
Quaxo once again began to sing.
"Give me something to believe in
I still believe in you
But if you're never here and I'm left all alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do
Whenever you're gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you're gone the bleeding won't stop
It hurts 'til you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Whenever you're gone everything goes black"
What neither of the kittens had known, was that there was one more cat watching and listening. This cat however, was none other than the hidden paw himself. And he had plans for the young tux. Lots of plans. But it wasn't quite time for them yet.
