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?

37. Letter 37

Dear Munkustrap,

Thank Heaviside you're okay! Please feel better soon, because you're right… I do want you to come save me, even though admitting it makes me feel weak and vulnerable… to need saving at all is pitiful, but if you're going to go through with this rescue, you'll need all of your strength. I'm sorry you're being dragged into this, as well as the other cats that you're bringing with you on the mission. Please tell them I apologize, I know how dangerous this is going to be and if anything goes wrong – should someone get wounded – I know it'll be all my fault. I wish there was some other way… If I could make my Uncle let me stay with you I wouldn't hesitate to leave this place forever, but we both know what happened the first time I left to be with you…

What are we going to do about those pesky rats? If they were able to hurt you last time, how will we know they won't do the same this time? Suppose they have reinforcements of their own, I don't want to be caught outnumbered. I am very well aware of the damage those rats can do… I never told you this before, but those rats have had their fair share of tossing me around, especially when my Uncle wasn't pleased with the outcome of my 'mystic' training, I guess it was sort of like a punishment. Basically what I'm getting at is that we have to be ready to fight them off, I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot more of them than there will be of us. I don't want anyone getting injured because of me, it wouldn't be worth it if something like that happened – I'd never forgive myself.

I keep thinking of that blissful night – you know, the one where I escaped to spend the night in the Junkyard with you. To think that the rest of our lives will be spent that way, in total perfection, makes me wish you were here right now to take me home. Even if it's not perfect, at least I'll be with you. Things are bound to go wrong, that's just the way life is, but I wouldn't trade the future we'll be sharing for anything in the entire universe.

Please be sensible as you organize this feat. Like I said, if anyone were to get hurt, I would never forgive myself. I love you, Munkus.

Sincerely,

Demeter
