Saturday

"Didn't I tell you to leave", Deuteronomy boomed when he saw Alonzo and Munk in the yard. The other cats were still asleep.

"You did", Alonzo whispered.

"Then how come you are still here?"

"Because I want him here", Munk growled.

"I asked you to choose family or leaving the yard Munkustrap", Deuteronomy boomed. "You chose family."

"And Alonzo is part of my family!"

"What's going on", Jenny asked as she and some of the other cats came out from their dens.

"Deuteronomy wants Alonzo to leave the yard", Munk yelled and everyone stared at him and then their leader.

"Whatever for", Jelly asked.

"Because Munkustrap loves him", Deuteronomy said. "And I'm not okay with it."

"Their friends", Skimble said and yawned.

"Not like that Skimble", Alonzo said softly and everyone stared at him and Munk, well not Demeter and Tugger. Alonzo moved closer to Munkustrap as to prove the point.

"Aw how sweet", Jemima sighed. "Like candy!"

"No it is not", Deuteronomy boomed. "It's against laws of nature!"

"It is not", Jenny yelled at him.

"Yeah", nearly everyone agreed, some just nodded their heads and some were still too shocked to say anything.

"I will not see my son with some alley cat", Deuteronomy said.

"You have no say in that matter", Munkustrap said darkly.

"Yes I do I am your father."

"Then act like one", Alonzo yelled.

"Be silent!"

"No! You tell Munk you're his father then act like it! Show him that you support him in what he-"

He didn't get any further because Deuteronomy had let loose a shockwave of some sort and Alonzo was flung backwards and hit his head against TSE 1's trunk with a loud bang.

"ALONZO!" Munk screamed in terror. Then the terror gave way for anger and he rounded on his father. "YOU!"

"If you won't leave", Deuteronomy said and watched as Alonzo tried to get up on shaky legs, his entire body was shaking and he had gotten small gashes sliding over the ground. "I will make you disappear." With that he raised his paws and they started to spark with electricity.

"NO!" Munk screamed and ran over to Alonzo and hugged him. Deuteronomy released his power.

"I won't let him take you", Munk said. "Not without me." He closed his eyes and prepared for the pain but it never came. He felt Alonzo push him away as hard as he could and the next thing he knew was the pained scream coming from his lover.

"ALONZO!" Munk screamed and then Alonzo collapsed and Munk caught him. "ALONZO!"

"M-Munk", Alonzo whispered and smiled. "You're okay…"

"Hang in there Alonzo!"

"Sweet as candy you said Jemima", Deuteronomy said. "But candy can be sour and bitter."

Munk looked at his father with hate.

"YOU BASTARD!" he yelled. Deuteronomy sighed.

"I'm doing this because I care Munkustrap."

"No you don't", Alonzo said weakly.

"You're not dead yet? Oh well…" Deuteronomy prepared to attack again but never got the chance because pain soared through his body as he was being hit by electricity.

"DON'T YOU DARE HURT THEM!" Misto yelled as he continued to but electricity into Deuteronomy's body. The next thing Deuteronomy knew the electricity stopped and he was tackled by Skimble, Ad, Asp, Jenny, Bombalurina and Tugger.

"Leave them alone!" Tugger yelled.

Deuteronomy tried to get free from everyone but it was impossible.

"Let me go that's an order", Deuteronomy boomed.

"We don't take orders from you anymore", Admetus growled.

"And no one will do that again", Cori and Tantomile spoke in strange echoing voices and everyone stared at them with wide frightened eyes. It was the Everlasting cat speaking through them.

"Deuteronomy", she said. "You must leave this yard and never come back. You are old and wise but trapped in old values. That is not the leader the Jellicles need."

"But I-" Deuteronomy tried but a look from everyone silenced him. "Fine." He left the yard and Cori and Tanto collapsed. The stress of hosting EC was too much for them.


"Will he be alright", Munk asked Jenny and Jelly as they checked Alonzo's body.

"We don't know sweetie", Jelly said. "He is in a coma."

"But… he'll wake up right?"

The old queens looked at him with sad eyes.

"We don't know sweetie", Jenny said.

"But… he just can't not wake up! He can't leave me!"

Jelly and Jenny looked at each other and left the den. Munk turned to his lover and grabbed his paws.

"You can't leave me Zo", he cried. "You can't!" He cried so hard his body shook at every sob and clutched his lover's paw. He looked up at the sleeping face and dried his tears and said:

"I'll be here. I'll wait for you to wake up. I will never stop loving you. You are all I have and all I ask for. I hope, believe and I pray that you will stay right here with me. That you are there for me like I am here for you… I love you so." Munk caressed his lover's face. "I will be here when you wake up. We'll be happy again I swear it. I love you." Munk laid his head down on Alonzo's chest. "I'll be here…"


The end? Well if there is another Jellicle week I will continue this for it but if there isn't... well then I'll continue it anyway. I have nothing against Deuty I just needed a bad guy :P

mistotugger - That's the last chappie ;)
