Letters

by jelliclesoul635

This is simply a series of short letters written back and forth between Munkustrap, Demeter, and possibly a few other characters (such as Bombalurina and The Rum Tum Tugger - briefly and in the beginning). The letters begin at a time when Demeter and Munkustrap are still kittens. NEW letters recently added! Will Demeter allow Munkustrap to finally rescue her?

36. Letter 36

Dear Demeter,

Everlasting Cat, where do I begin? Please know that I have not been intentionally avoiding your letters. I was attacked by your Uncle's rats on my way home from leaving your window that night. They caught me off guard and I ended up getting a few nasty scratches. The wounds, though minor, actually became infected, and Jellylorum couldn't help me at that point, so I had to be taken to the humans. Alonzo was keeping your letters for me while I was recovering; he was worried that something like this might happen.

I know that part of you thinks we should stop writing to each other, but I know that there's another part of you that's yelling in disagreement at the first part. It's not possible for me to forget about you, even if it is to save our lives, and if I know you, which I think I do, you don't want me to forget you either. You might not admit it, but you want me to save you because whether you realize it or not, just as much as I do, you also want to be happy, to be loved, to have things go right for once. Believe me Demeter, we will have that and more.

I'm going to come for you again in a week's time once I've completely regained my strength, or when Jelly finally lets me out of bed - whichever comes first. This time I'm bringing reinforcements, so a bunch of us will be storming your Uncle's warehouse and we won't be leaving until you're with us. You'll have to be careful and do exactly as I say so nothing goes wrong and nobody gets hurt. I want you to be ready to run when I come for you. The rats are vicious and though smaller in size, they're tiny legs can carry them quite quickly.

Everlasting Cat in Heaviside as my witness, once this nightmare is over I will devote the rest of my nine lives to showing you just how incredible you are and I'll love you for as long as I breathe on this earth.

Your best friend,

Munkustrap

PS – This is our chance, Demeter. This is our chance to have the life we've dreamed about. Please tell me you'll be willing to take that chance with me.

A/N: For whatever reason I had a very difficult time constructing this letter. I kept changing stuff and moving things around. Let me know if this letter accomplishes anything, or if I tweaked it so much that it's all just a jumbled mess.

Also, just a few more letters and this baby will be done for good! Hope you've been enjoying it!
