I am making this week shpeshialz! Since I was gone for...forever, I'm going to update EVERY day this week! Have fun!
I Do NOT own CATS or "Go To Sleep You Little Baby".
I hear myself crying out.
I know I'm tossing and turning.
I've probably even woken Bombi.
I don't worry about Teazah.
Even if I had woken her up, which, as you know, is highly unlikely, she never gets mad at me.
I am her Best Friend, as well as her Closest Sister.
The Dreams that Haunt me...
The never-ending sea of Blood... the Reek of Death... They Haunt me.
Black.
Nothingness.
Red.
Red Flashes.
Blood.
Blood Flashes.
Nothing.
A repetitive message.
A steady beat.
Black.
Nothingness.
Red.
Red Flashes.
Blood.
Blood Flashes.
Nothing.
These are my Dreams.
And So, I resign, into the happiest days of the past week.
"Bomba?" Cries the young calico tabby. The Black and Gold Queen rocks her gently, lovingly, murmuring soft lullaby's in her ears.
"Yes?" Answers the Red Queen.
"Where are we?"
Silence.
The Eldest doesn't know. The Calico turns to the Black and Gold Queen.
"Deme?" The Black Queen shakes her head.
The Gold Queen doesn't know.
A note of panic crept into the young queen's voice. She whimpered.
"Where are we?"
"Go to sleep you little baby... "Go to sleep you little baby... "Don't you weep pretty baby...
Go to sleep you little baby ...
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Didn't leave nobody, but the baby"
Sang the Gold and Black Queen.
Go to sleep you little baby...
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody, but the baby"
Intoned the Gold Queen
Together they sang.
Don't you weep pretty baby...
She's long gone with her red shoes on
Gonna need another lovin' baby"
The Red Queen turned, afraid someone had found them.
The Gold and Black Queen put the Calico Kitten in the small nest they had made, and continued to sing, softly.
"Go to sleep you little baby...
Go to sleep you little baby...
You and me and the Devil makes three
Don't need no other lovin' baby..."
The Black queen's heart constricted. They had no home... Her mind wandered to the previous night.
Demeter watched as the Siamese Cats ravaged the ship. They were hustled quickly out of the vicinity by a member of the crew. He took them to a strange place, and they hid. Soon after, he left. Demeter, shaking in fear, held the sleeping Rumpleteazer. Bombalurina's eyes searched frantically for something, anything, perhaps. She must have found it, because her eyes locked, and she nodded. Demeter's heart quickened as a figure stepped out of the shadows.
I shook my head, clearing the memories and emotions that clouded my mind. The figure had been Macavity, Bombi's Tom-Friend. He had showed us where we now live. He also promised to take us to a better home... perhaps, today?
"Macavity?"
"Yes little one?" The Calico kit shuffled her paws shyly.
"Ummm..." The Ginger Tom knelt down.
"I don't bite, Little One." He chuckled lightly.
"Umm... Will you..." The queen suddenly burst out in speech.
"Willyoumakealight?Anightlight?" The Gold Queen giggled and scooped up the kitten.
"Don't worry Teazah, he will. Right,Maca?"
The Tom nodded.
"'Course I will!" Suddenly, the Gold and Black Queen's heart fluttered, fear clutching her chest. She turned to Macavity, fear and anger dripping into her voice. It was meant to be a question, but it came out a statement.
"Where's Bomba."
Macavity had found her. She had been lost. This only furthered my Trust in Macavity. But... Teazer became wary, often questioning.
"How did Maca know where to look?"
"Was Bombi really lost?"
