This is very long. I just started and couldn't stop. This chappy is all about Paydon, Macavity's mentor.
Sorry Rosey this probably isn't what you wanted.
~Enjoy! Remember to review!
Paydon smiled as he watched Macavity run out of the lab, but his eyes darkened quickly.
He had raised Macavity like his own… and he wished he was his own.
Paydon let out a small sigh, then walked over to the book of Fate and opened it up… to one particular cat… Charlotte.
Paydon let out a painful groan as he gazed at her name, his heart speeding up in pace.
"Why did you have to go?" He asked the page, his fingers traced her name and her mate… Charlie.
Paydon let out a sigh as he glanced down as the page started to glow, and golden letters began to form underneath her name.
Mother of Cecilia and Thomas, It read and Paydon let out a growl.
He hissed and threw the book across the lab, and buried his face into his hands, growling in anger.
Paydon let out a groan and ran to his bed, and threw himself onto it, sobbing his heart out.
A few years earlier…
Paydon
Leave me alone
Payydddonn.
I said to leave me alone!
PAYDON!
What do you want? Paydon asked his mentor impatiently.
To talk… His mentor answered with a ring in her voice.
Melody! He groaned, looking down into the pool where his mentor resurfaced.
Paydon smiled down at the mermaid and laughed, Melody joining in.
He watched in amazement as Melody stood up on her tail, and her blue skin began to peel away, leaving a jet black cat in her place.
"How do you do that?" Paydon asked, his voice was shining with awe.
"Practice, practice, practice!" Melody answered cheerfully.
"Will I be able to do that one day?" Paydon asked.
"Practice, practice, practice!" Melody repeated, then laughed, "Yes you will!"
"Okay, good." Paydon looked at his paws innocently, then up at Melody who let out a sigh.
"You can go see her," She muttered, "But be back in time for supper!"
"I will!" Paydon sang, his eyes were glowing, "I will! You'll see!" And with that, he happily skipped off to see Charlotte.
Paydon had been in love with the blotchy queen since they first met, when she hit ran over Paydon with a pick-up truck.
Turned out, Charlotte was a magician in-training as well, and she hotwired a human car as a magical assignment.
That didn't go to well.
But ever since, they had been sneaking off during their training, and communicating with their minds when far away.
Paydon let out a sigh, then caught sight of the white and brown she-cat darting through the woods, her feet were glowing green, and with every bound she jumped high into the air. Must be a rabbit spell.
Hey!
Paydon?
You know it!
Um, I can't talk.
What? We always talk during our lessons.
Charlotte crashed into a tree.
Paydon saw this, and started to sneak away.
Get over here.
Paydon quietly walked over to the queen's side and helped her up.
"Thanks," She muttered, brushing herself off, but when she looked up at Paydon her eyes were shining.
"Sorry," He whispered, losing his voice at the very sight of her.
"Hey, now we're even," She laughed in her sing-song voice.
"Yeah…" Paydon trailed off and Charlotte laughed.
"You're home late," Melody sung, her voice turned to ice.
"Sorry I was out late, Melody," Paydon admitted.
"Oh, you're going to be sorry alright!" Melody hissed, her voice rising, " I told you to be home!"
"Sorry I was out late! I was just with Charlotte!"
"That's unacceptibale," Melody's harsh voice burned into Paydon's body.
"Leave me alone!" Paydon growled.
"I won't! She doesn't even love you! I am older than you, and your mentor! You listen to me!" Melody hissed.
"I said to leave… me ALONE!" Paydon lost his patience and he picked up a chair, throwing it at his mentor.
"NO!" Melody screamed, her hand starting to glow white and Paydon froze in place.
"Calm down." She sighed, wiping her face, "we can talk about this."
Paydon squinted his eyes, consentrating on Melody's arm that was controlling him, and he shut his eyes.
Melody screamed in pain as the bones in her hand all shattered in two, freeing Paydon from her grasp.
Melody fell onto the floor, writhing in pain as the spell started to take over her body, breaking each and every one of her bones.
When it was over, Paydon walked over to her, and put his foot onto her chest.
"You don't control me." Then he walked away, leaving her on the ground.
"Charlotte!"
Paydon watched in horror as Charlie called her name after Paydon had.
What is HE doing here?
Paydon, I have something to tell you…
What is it?
It's just…
What?
"Paydon, I don't love you." Charlotte whispered.
"What?" Paydon stared at the blotchy cat in horror and broken, "You… don't… don't…"
"Love you," She finished his sentence for him, "I don't."
"Charlotte!" Charlie was getting closer.
"Why don't you?" Paydon asked, his voice full of hurt.
"I… I don't know…" Charlotte watched in horror as Charlie approached and wound his arm around her waist.
"You can't prove it…" Paydon choked.
Charlotte looked at the ground then without thinking, pushed Paydon out into the open road, for they were in the middle of the city of London.
Paydon let out a small meow and his eyes bugged out of his head as he saw the truck approaching.
It hit him before he could blink… and he was on the pavement before he could process this in his mind.
Charlotte walked over to him, looking down at him and placing her foot onto his chest.
"I just did," She whispered, her voice stone cold. Charlie walked up behind her, his eyes were wide with horror, but he held out his arm and she took it, and they walked off.
Paydon layed there broken on the sidewalk, tears streamed down his cheeks as he tried to stand up, but he just felt as if he had been thrashed about… like his heart had been.
He heard footsteps approach, and he looked up into the pale gray eyes of Melody.
She looked down at her apprentice, tears were forming in her eyes.
"How could you?" She asked, turning away, she just walked off.
"Aren't you going to help me?" Paydon could barely croak, and his heart filled with hope when Melody walked back over to him.
"No. I had to help myself. You help yourself." And she started to walk off again.
"I don't know how!" He whispered.
Practice, practice, practice.
Paydon let out a sigh, then drifted off into sleep.
Paydon woke up, gasping for breath, for he was forever haunted by the memory.
He glanced at the book of Fate and what he saw took his breath away.
It read:
Lady Griddlebone, mate of Growltiger, mother of Victoria.
Daughter of Melody.
