The End and a Beginning
Chapter 7
A talk, Terror, and a Mission
The next day was quieter than usual. The sun was shining brightly on the Junkyard, as the Jellicles laid or talked in the warm light, as the Gumbie cat walked through the yard. She kept her word with Demeter and had just finished talking to Bomby. Now all she had to do was talk to Munk. Jenny looked everywhere and asked every Jellicle in the yard but no one knew where the silver tabby was.
It was almost dusk and the Gumbie cat was going to give up her search for the silver tom until she looked up at a small pile of junk that was close to the pipe. The junk pile had a platform that stood about six feet above the ground. On top of that platform laid a silver tabby. Jenny quickly climbed the pile to talk to the troublesome tom.
"Munkustrap," Jenny called, once at the top of the junk pile, and approached the lying tom. The silver tabby looked up at her than back down at the platform he was lying on. "I was looking for you everywhere. Have you been up here all day long?" Jenny asked, sitting next to the tom.
The silver tom shook his head no but remained quiet.
"Are you going to talk to me?" Jenny asked, watching the silver tabby, as he looked up at her. "Well?" She questioned, as the tom turned his head and rested it on his front paws, with no reply. "Munk you know you can talk to me. Now what's wrong?" The Gumbie cat asked, as she placed a paw gently on his shoulder.
There was a silence between the two Jellicles as Jenny waited for an answer.
"Nothing's wrong." Munk mumbled, finally answering the Gumbie cat.
"They why do you look so depressed?" Jenny asked, as the silver tabby shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe you should try to work things out with Bomby."
"She hates me!" Munk yelled, as he jumped into a sitting position. "How am I suppose to talk to someone who hates me?"
"You should at least try. Think of Demeter. She was crying yesterday because of you and Bomby arguing." Jenny explained as the silver tom lowered his head.
"I guess I could try." Munk sighed, as he lay back down.
"I think that would be the best thing to do." Jenny replied, placing a gentle and supporting paw on his shoulder.
"Jenny! Jenny!" A voice yelled as a queen ran to where she and Munk where.
"Bomby what's wrong?" Jenny asked, as she climbed down to the red queen.
"It's Demeter." Bomby answered, gasping for air.
"What about her?" Munk asked, as he stood on top of the platform.
"I went to go apologize to her for what I said yesterday, but I can't find her." The scarlet queen explained.
"Where would she go?" Jenny questioned.
"I don't know, but I found this note in her den." Bomby stated, handing the Gumbie cat the piece of paper. "I also found a knife that had dried blood on it as well as blood stains on the floor."
"What does that mean?" Munk asked, climbing down the pile and approaching the two queens.
"It means that she is cutting herself." Jenny stated as she read the note. "It says that in the note that she can't stand being hurt anymore or hurting the ones who are close to her so she left."
"We have to find her." Munk exclaimed.
"But it will be dark soon." Bomby stated as fear consuming her face.
"So?" Munk asked, looking at the red queen.
"That's when all the pollicles come out." Bomby yelled, fear clearly heard in her voice.
"That's why we have to leave now, so we can get to her before she is killed." Munk shouted, anger and worry mixed in his voice.
"Will you two stop arguing?" Jenny yelled as the silver tom and scarlet queen turned from each other and looked up at the Gumbie cat. "This is exactly why Demeter left. She couldn't stand to watch you two argue every time you are with each other." Jenny explained, looking at the young cats, as Munk and Bomby looked at each other then hanged their heads in shame. "Just because your mate-ship did not work out doesn't mean that your friendship ended as well. You two were great friends and were always there for each other, and it is time to start acting as friends and not enemies."
"Jenny is right, we were great friends." Bomby sighed, as she looked at the silver tabby, and he looked at her. "I'm sorry Munk, I guess I just wanted us to be more than just friends."
"I understand Bomby, and I accept your apology." Munk replied, as he gave the scarlet queen a friendly hug.
Jenny smiled, she was glad to see the two young cats to become friends again. "Come on, we have to find Demeter." Munk and Bomby broke the embrace and nodded their heads and followed the Gumbie cat out of the junkyard and into the city of London.
