The two queens lifted their heads as if on cue. They were unable to
comprehend that these two stranger toms would help them when their
own tribe rejected them.
Demeter looked at Macavity, "You'll protect us? Even though you risk
war with our tribe for our sakes?"
Macavity crouched beside the small, golden queen. He put a gentle paw
under her chin and smiled at her, "Of course we will. You two are very
special to us. We'll help you."
Niameh lifted her head from Tanocor's shoulder and smiled cautiously at
him, "That's really nice of you."
Tanocor gently squeezed Niameh's shoulders and held her close,
"We'll have to do something to prevent the Jellicles from attacking."
The four felines talked long about the Jellicles and finally Macavity
suggested that the two young queens should go get some rest. He and
Tanocor would talk to some of their supporters and find a solution.
The two brothers showed the way to a large shelter, where their
supporters were waiting and Demeter and Niameh were showed to
a room, where they could rest. It was a nice, light room with blankets
and pillows and there had even been prepared some food for them.
They ate a little and lay down to try and get some sleep.
"Niameh? Are you asleep?" Demeter inquired quietly and looked over at
her best friend.
"No, how about you?" The beige queen replied.
Demeter giggled, "Silly, if I'd been asleep I wouldn't have asked you."
She stopped laughing and her face took on a serious expression,
"Seriously, Niameh. I want to know what's happening. How about we go
find Macavity and…"
"Tanocor," Niameh finished dreamily, "Demeter, what do you think abou
t them? Macavity and Tanocor I mean?"
"Macavity is so… wonderful. He's much different than these kittenish
toms back with the Jellicles. Tanocor seems nice too… You like him,
don't you?"
Niameh nodded blushing and smiled at Demeter, who was blushing also.
The two young queens agreed to find Macavity and Tanocor and ventured
out into the halls. Again Demeter's good hearing helped them. She heard
Macavity's voice behind a closed the door and the queens were about to
knock on the door, when they heard Tanocor speak, "The Jellicles are
now a risk to us and we have to do something."
An unknown tom's voice rang, "But what about those queens, you've
brought here? They're Jellicles as well."
Macavity took the word, "They aren't Jellicles anymore. They were
banished because they defended us."
"We have to fight the Jellicles and defeat them entirely this time,"
Tanocor said.
