Chapter 4: Munkustrap's Story

Demeter looked at Munkustrap, waiting to hear his story. This silver tabby is quite the curious tom. He's in this hell hole, but he acts so calm. How can he be calm? His eyes showed hurt and pain, but he acts like he doesn't care.

Demeter was watching Munkustrap debate whether to tell her or not. Munkustrap, having decided, began his story:

"It all began when Macavity lost his mother. His mother, Exotica, was a great fighter. She fought her battles until the end. One day, her fight went out of hand. We were attacked by two pollicles and Exotica took one of them on alone. The remaining fighters took on the other one. We defeated our pollicle with easy. But Exotica's pollicle got the best of her. We got there in time to stop the pollicle from killing her, but not soon enough. Her injuries were to severe for us to heal. She passed away that night.'

"Macavity stayed by his mother's side, comforting her until the end. Macavity had only one person left in his family. Tyrant, but he was banished from our tribe long ago. Soon after his mother died, his best friend, Carbucketty, died saving Macavity from a pollicle. They were taking time away from the junk yard, walking along the streets, when they met a pollicle. Macavity, as always, attacked without thinking. All he wanted was revenge for his mother. But just like his mother, he was easily defeated. Carbucketty jumped in to save Macavity. Carbucketty gave the pollicle on hell of a fight, but the pollicle came through in the end.'

"Macavity watched his best friend die in front of him. You could say he was devastated at the time, but he came back to the junk yard with Carbucketty's body in his arms. He set him down gently, then he glared at u all. He blamed us for not helping his mother. He blamed us for not helping Carbucketty. We stood there in shock. None of us thought he blamed us. We couldn't help them, especially Carbucketty. How were we to know a pollicle would be there?"

"Macavity planned his revenge on all of us. He gather other cats and taught them to not trust us. We knew he was up to something, because he wouldn't come into he junk yard for days at a time. Then one night, Macavity and his army struck. They battled hard and long, but we soon over powered them. Macavity and me were fighting it out when he got the best of me'

Munkustrap looked up from the ground as Macavity approached him. Macavity crouched down to Munkustrap's eye level and looked deeply into his eyes, like he's looking deep inside your soul.

"You thought you could get away with taking my throne away from me Munk? And killing the only family member I had left out of this junk yard? I loved you like a brother, I trusted you with my life. I protected you even! We shared secrets together. I though you were my friend. Apparently I thought wrong."

"No Mac, you didn't. I love you like a brother too, but what you did-"

Macavity brought a paw up and clawed Munkustrap on his face, hitting him with such force it knocked him off his knees and onto the ground. Munk put a paw to his cheek and got back up.

"Oh, so then you, just standing there as I was banished, What was that Munkus? It seemed you didn't care about me anymore. You took my place and my birth right away from me! I'm surprised you never saw this coming. But trust me my friend that this is only the beginning. There is far worse events to come in the future. Just you wait, Munkus," Macavity stood up and kicked Munkustrap in the side, breaking ribs and sending pain up in Munk's chest.

"Just you wait Munkustrap, It's has only just begun…" Macavity was hidden by a bright light that blinded the junk yard. When it cleared, Macavity wasn't there.

"After that, my father Old Deuteronomy banished Macavity from our tribe. Macavity wanted me to join him, because he feared the same would happen to me. Of course I refused, I couldn't leave my father and brother behind. I just couldn't and he knew that. So he left the yard and didn't return for a long time.'

"But then one day, he came back.'

Munkustrap was sitting on the tyre with Tugger beside him. They were taking this golden opportunity to sunbath. It had been cloudy for the past few days, so, naturally, they took advantage of the sun. They watched the kittens play and laugh. Munkustrap loved how the kittens played. They would always find some reason or another to get into a wrestling war. Pouncival and Tumblebrutus usually started it all. They would roll around in one ball, running into other cats and causing other kittens to get jealous. Quaxo usually stayed out of the big mass of kittens rolling everywhere. Quaxo had his own way of fun. He would use his magic and make the other kittens run for their lives, while he would be rolling on the ground laughing. Then there were the queen kittens. They would always talk about how immature the boys were, yet when the boys would talk to them, they'd get all googley eyed at them.

The sun was slowly setting and it was time for all the kittens to go to sleep. But two kittens had a plan on their minds. They wanted to go outside the junk yard to see what it's like out there.

Pouncival and Tumblebrutus snuck out of Jennyanydots's den, and were about to walk out the gate, until they got caught.

"Where do you think ya'll are going?" asked Munkustrap as he walked towards the kittens.

"C'mon Munksy! We want to see what it's like outside of here." replied Tumble, jumping up and down excitedly.

"Yea, We're tired of being stuck in here all the time. We just wanna get out. Just once. Please?" Pouncival asked, giving Munkustrap his special kitten face, and of course, Munkustrap fell for it.

"Okay, Okay, I'll show ya'll what it's like. But you have to make one promise…that you won't tell Jenny, or she's gonna kill all three of us. Got it?"

"Got it!" both kittens replied.

So the small group set off to explore the city. Munkustrap was on extra alert. He would freeze at the tiniest of sounds, making sure the kittens were okay. Everything was going fine, until Munkustrap picked up foreign scents. Munkustrap frozen and sniffed at the air, trying to find its source. IT was coming from every direction.

"Pounce! Tumble! Get behind me now!" Munkustrap said suddenly, realizing the three of them were in serious danger. Pounce and Tumble looked at each other with fear in their eyes and ran behind the crouching Munkustrap. It wasn't long before Macavity and a dozen of his hench-cats stepped out of the shadows. The kittens shrank back in pure terror and Munkustrap moved so he stood protectively over them.

"Macavity." Munkustrap snarled.

"C'mon Munks, that's not the way to treat a friend of yours, now is it?" Macavity asked as a grin appeared on his face.

"Friend Macavity? You and I stopped being friends the moment you turned on us."

Macavity laughed and walked closer to the three Jellicles.

"Pounce, Tumble, listen to me now," Munkustrap whispered to them, his eyes still on Macavity, "when I say run, you run all the way back to the junk yard and get help. Do you understand?"

"Yes." they both whispered.

Macavity was getting closer to them now. The kittens, ready to run when told, where looking at Munkustrap to give the signal.

"RUN!" Munkustrap yelled as he lunged at Macavity, trying to provide a distraction for the kittens.

The kittens took off towards the junk yard, not looking back, but they could hear the fighting going on behind them.

Macavity landed a few good blows on Munkustrap, but Munkustrap had given Macavity more than he can handle. Macavity backed off and signaled his hench-cats to fight for him. The hench-cats took action and fought Munkustrap. Munkustrap managed to over power some of them, but there were to many. He was getting weaker and weaker by the moments, when finally he collapsed on the street, panting. Munkustrap couldn't move. He was to injured, his body couldn't take anymore. Darkness slowly made its way around his vision, engulfing him. The last thing he heard before he blacked out was Tugger's yell:

"MUNKUS!"

Then his world went black.

"That's how I got here. Macavity got the best of me, well, I should say his hench-cats."

Munkustrap looked up to see Demeter's eyes starting to swell with tears. Munkustrap looked at her with alarm. Did he say something that upset her?

"D-Demeter? Are you okay?" he asked, eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine Munk, it's just hearing your story and about the junkyard, I wish I could have experience living there." Demeter replied, looking up to meet Munkustrap's hazel eyes.

"Well, Dem, if we ever get out of this hell-hole. I'll take you to my family and show you what it's like to live there. I'm sure everybody will love you." Munkustrap said as he hugged her.

"I-I would love that Munk." Demeter said, she buried her head in his neck and wished she had be born into that family before Macavity had taken her family. Demeter would have loved to live there, and who have loved to share it with her mother, but her mother had to leave the junkyard before Demeter could ever see it.

She sighed and let sleep take her, still resting her head in Munkustrap's shoulder.
