Chapter 14: The Aftermath
When they got back to the junkyard, Jemima was rushed to the medical den. She had scratches all down her legs and her ankle was sprained from when Demeter had dropped her. Bomba sat her down on the large cushion. Jenny and Jelly rush up and began to treat her wounds. Jemima looked around and began to freak out. She let out a scream and then covered her face and began to sob.
"shhhhhhhhh" Bomba comforted as she put her arms around Jemima.
"I want my mommy!" Jem balled
"I know baby I know." Bomba said as she continued tried to calm the kitten.
"Jemima." said Munkustrap's smooth voice
She looked up at her father, he put a comforting smile on his face as he crouched down to look Jemima in the eyes.
"Daddy's going to find mommy ok" he said as he took her paw.
She gazed into his eyes and then nodded. A single tear fell from her eye as he kissed her forehead.
"Let's go guys!" he commanded
Rum Tum Tugger , Alonzo , Skimbleshanks and Admeatus followed Munkustrap out of the den and into the night.

Demeter lay limp on the cold floor of the cellar in Macavity's warehouse. it was cold and damp and she was shivering. She shuddered as the door creaked open revealing a dark figure in the doorway.
"Hello my dear." An evil voice cooed.
Demeter hissed. Macavity slinked up and looked in her eyes. Demeter looked away and began to tremble. He pulled her up and pinned her against the wall holding her by the wrists. He began to kiss her. Her eyes went wide with repulse. She kneed him in the stomach as hard as she could. He yowled as he bent over in pain. When he recovered he let out a growl and threw Demeter to the floor. He kicked her and scratched her and just plain out beat her to a bloody pulp. She screamed and cried while he laughed and mocked her.
How could this be happening again? She thought to herself
