Mistoffelees and Cassandra we're going through the forest to get to the bus stop. They were singing together and as they walked, a couple of birds looked at them. This was weird for them to see two cats walking and singing together but they liked it and some of them sang along with them. Mistoffelees watched the birds singing and smiled. "This sure is a happy day. Nothing will ruin it." Now they were singing the song "Way back into love".

-"Trapped in the past I can't seem to move on."- sang Cassandra.

-"I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away. Just in case…"- sang Mistoffelees but he suddenly started walking. Something made him impossible to move and he felt like he was being tethered by a rope. He tried to get loose but unable to do anything he fell on the ground screaming of pain. It was that weird thing he detected in the tree house. Cassandra ran to him and kneeled next to him. She was worried about him.

-Mistoffelees, oh my god what's wrong?- she said with a worried tone.

He suddenly had a flashback and returned to the last time he detected that weird thing. It was a couple of weeks ago in the Jellicle Ball and he remembered the word he heard after he felt that. "Macavity! Oh no he is using dark magic on me! If she stays here she'll be in danger!"

-Agh Cassandra- he said as he tried to get loose- you have to get out of here right now!- his breath got heavier.

-What?! I'm not leaving you!- she said.

-Agh god damn it just go, please! You're not safe here.- the dark magic gets stronger and he screams again.

-Not safe? What do you…- she didn't have the time to finish her phrase because in two seconds a black cat came right behind her out of nowhere and grabbed her by her stomach with a paw and pointed a knife to her throat with the other one. The cat was familiar for Mistoffelees for he saw him once when Old Deuteronomy was kidnapped by Macavity. The black cat took a few steps back and one to the left. Mistoffelees looked forward and saw Macavity right next to the black cat grabbing Cassandra who was completely scared, not for herself but for Mistoffelees who was unable to make a spell. Macavity looked at Cassandra.

-Well look who have we here. If it isn't the beautiful queen Cassandra.- he said as he passed a finger on her face and she looks away.

-DON'T TOUCH HER!- screamed Mistoffelees who was sweating like a race horse.

Macavity looks at him and walks to him.

-Oh Mistoffelees, I'm so sorry I forgot you were there.- he knelt in front of him.

-Oh please knock out with the "bad guy talking".-he said. One of Macavity's servants in the background laughed. Macavity looked at him.

-Oh, sorry boss.- he said.

-Oh my god I can't believe you hire guys that stupid. I think you should open auditions before you hire someone and say "I don't want stupid servants".-he said and heard all of them laughing.

"I'm surrounded by idiots." thought Macavity- You're being brave for someone who hides behind Old Deuteronomy whenever I show up aren't you? And you didn't even have the courage to go and save him by yourself. No. You simply used one of you pathetic tricks to bring him back and you know why? Because you're a coward Mistoffelees. A coward who always needed his parents to be there to rescue you when you were in trouble. When you were about to be killed.-he says with a threatening voice.

-It… it was your plan? You were the one who sent that Doberman to kill me?-he stuttered due to the chock.

-Oh yes Mistoffelees. It was my plan and I was there watching it and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my whole life.

Mistoffelees felt anger coming out of him and finally remembered a spell to get rid of the dark magic Macavity was using on him. He was about to perform the spell but Macavity spotted it and stopped him.

-Don't be so stupid kid. A step in fake will cost you your life- he looks at Cassandra- and hers.-he takes a step back and with his dark magic and his paw he levitates Mistoffelees and puts him face to face.- Now let me show you one of my favourite "tricks".- he said with a threatening voice. He looked forward and saw that there was a big rock, much bigger than Mistoffelees.- You know the thing is, sculpture is one of my favourite hobbies, and I never sculpted a rock before, until know.

Without saying a word, Macavity threw Mistoffelees back against the rock several times. The poor tuxedo cat was screaming in pain and heard Macavity's agents laughing at him while Cassandra was crying.

-He prefers to die like an idiot just to save her! What an idiot!

He almost lost consciousness when Macavity was about to throw him again but stopped when Cassandra shouted:

-STOP IT, PLEASE! I BEG YOU! YOU CAN TAKE ME WITH YOU AND I WILL NEVER RUN AWAY BUT PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM ANNYMORE.

-No Cassandra, please… don't… do it.- whispered Mistoffelees without strength to speak higher.

Macavity looked at Cassandra and then at Mistoffelees and thought for a few seconds. When it seemed like he was going to put Mistoffelees on the ground, he threw him once more against the rock and saw his body full of blood lying on the ground.

-NOOOO!- cried Cassandra.

Macavity approaches her and lifts her chin.

-One thing you must learn is that loving is just a waste of time, my dear. And you know that deep down don't you?- he smiles and takes a step back and looks at his servants- Let's go my servants. Our job here is done and I do believe that we need to show our guest her new home right?

-YES MACAVITY!- they screamed.

All of them got together around Macavity laughing and laughing and in two seconds Macavity and them disappeared by magic believing in the idea that Mistoffelees was dead. What they didn't know is that Mistoffelees was just unconscious.

P.s- Tomorrow I will re-publish the story "A day that changed his life" that tells how his parents died. I just read it and I thought to myself "I can do better than this.".
