Alright, this is it: the final chapter, er, epilogue, Gone, But Not Forgotten.
However, I know why you are so excited. You want to find out who the mystery cat is (and I don't mean Macavity!)
-Epilogue-
-Mistoffelees POV-
The Jellicles were celebrating, but we were also mourning. Mourning for the death of *******. "Um, Misto?" Victoria asked me. "Yeah?" I whispered quietly. "Well, she wanted me to go and check on the kits every once and a while, and I suppose you could come, too. How does that sound?" I bowed my head, and didn't answer. I couldn't understand why a cat would want to die early, just to be reborn as someone different. So the death of the chosen cats always bugged me. In fact, I didn't talk much after they went up, as you can see.
"Oh, come on, you weren't even that close to her," Victoria tried to comfort me. I sighed. "But I shouldn't have let her come! If I hadn't she wouldn't have died!" Victoria looked stricken. "Mr. Mistoffelees, that cat made her own decisions. You couldn't have stopped her if you tried. And besides, she could've said no to the Heaviside Layer."
"No," I murmured. "Not really." But Victoria didn't respond, and I realized that the thought was just in my head.
The Jellicles gathered together on last time, a few minutes later, to sing on final song.
"Midnight, not a sound from the pavement,
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone.
In the lamp light, the withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind,
Begins to moan.
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight,
Let your memory lead you, open up, enter in.
If you find where the meaning of what happiness is,
Then a new life
Will begin.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight,
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory,
Live again.
Every street lamp
Seems to beat a
Fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning.
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life, and I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too,
And a new life,
Will begin."
Okay, did you like it? Well, for those of you who don't already know, the chosen cat was…
Allegra/Dovewing! And I used the stars to spell Allegra, so sorry if you were confused.
Please, one final time…
Read and review!
