"Hurry!" Victoria hissed to Etcetera, "We're gonna get lost!"

"I'm TIRED!" Cetty groaned, throwing her hands up in the air and yawning.

"SHHH!" Victoria shushed her best friend, "We're in Macavity's lair, remember?"

Etcetera let out a sigh, then nodded.

"You're right," She said, following her friend.

"I can't believe we're actually in Macavity's Lair!" Victoria sang excitedly closing her eyes in excitement.

"I know right?" Etcetera bounced up and down, then suddenly she stopped walking.

"Uh… where's the rest of the group?" She asked Victoria, looking around.

Vicky froze and looked at her best friend.

"Uh oh," She muttered, she wrinkled her nose up and then let out a whimper.

"We can find our way through this!" Cetty said, we just need to follow that hallway.

"How do you know that isn't Macavity's room?" Victoria asked her.

"I don't!" Cetty just sang cheerfully, "Just go with a skip in your step and a smile on your face!"

"I don't think Macavity would be too pleased if he caught us walking in his lair skipping and smiling," Victoria scoffed.

Cetty rolled her eyes, and then caught sight of a door.

"Let's go through there!" She said excitedly.

"Let's no go through there," Victoria looked at it suspiciously, "I'd rather not. It looks spooky."

Etcetera rolled her eyes and then went down the hallway to the door.

"What can the worst be?" She asked her friend, opening up the door.

Victoria rolled her eyes then followed Cetty and when through the door.

"This is suspicious," Victoria muttered.

"Everything about Macavity is suspicious," Cetty reminded Vicky.

Both of them were walking down a glass hallway that overlooked something that was strange.

"I feel like I'm being watched," Victoria whispered.

"You are," A deep voice growled.

"What was that?" Jemima asked Vytore as he was packing up some objects.

"I think it was a scream," Slamoe said, looking up from his work.

"That sounds like- Victoria!" Jemima quickly jumped up from the cushion she was relaxing on. She quickly ran to the trap door and yanked it open. Without thinking, she jumped out.

"Jemima!" Slamoe screamed, watching the teen run down the hallway and out the door of the hallway.

Vytore quickly threw the backpack around his shoulder and jumped out after Jemima.

"Vytore!" Slamoe yowled in horror, and then he wrinkled his nose up in disgust.

"I suppose I need to go after them," He grumbled, jumping down from the trap door and locking it.

"Err, fella's? Wheres' ar Cettie an' Vicky?" Rumpelteazer asked, looking behind her at Misto, Mungo, and Electra.

"Oh no! They must've gotten lost!" Electra cried, grabbing onto Misto's arm.

"We'll find them, Lettie," Mistoffelees said comfortingly, ruffling her hair playfully.

"We needs ta dos it!" Mungo exclaimed, "Who now's what kinda torture Maca'catay would puts dem throughs!"

"I'll go look for them, you guys keep looking for Jemima!" Misto called, running down the hallway.

Rumpelteazer stared after him then shrugged.

"He could'a just a poofed dem here," she said, "But if he wants ta do it da hard way, dat's his probalmo."

Jemima watched in horror as Macavity threw her best friends into a cellar in the execution room.

"You'll be dead by morning!" He growled, slamming Victoria's cage shut.

Both teens whimpered in fear as Macavity continued.

"My plan is falling together perfectly!" He laughed, wringing his hands together.

"What plan?" Cetty asked bravely.

"Oh… just the plan to control Jemima," Macavity growled, grinning.

"What?" Victoria asked in horror.

"I'm putting a mix into her food and it's taking over her body. By next week she'll lead me back to the Junkyard, and I'll over throw my brother." Macavity answered.

"JEMIMA! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME I'M IN THE..." Cetty desperately tried to call to her, but Macavity hushed her.

"Shut up! She can't hear you!" Macavity laughed, walking out of the room.

"Get back here!" Jemima heard Vytore's voice behind her, and he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and started to drag her away.

"I need to save them!" Jemima cried out, beating his arms with her fist.

"No you don't! Slamoe and I need to save you!" He answered, walking away, still holding her.

"No!" She screamed, getting on last glance at her best friends forever.
