Demeter's eyes widened.
"Are you serious?" she whispered.
Macavity nodded. "Nothing but."
Demeter's mouth dropped open. "I...I..."
"You..." Macavity prodded gently.
"I don't know what to say."
"It's easy. You have three answers to choose from: Yes, No or Maybe. I'm leaning towards a Yes or a Maybe."
Demeter smiled and laughed. "Well..."
"Oh come on Demi!"
Demeter laughed again; she knew she was driving Macavity crazy.
"Yes. I'll be your mate." she whispered, smiling.
"What? Did you say yes?"
Demeter nodded. "Yes."
Macavity grabbed Demeter and swung her around.
Demeter yelped and shrieked as he swung her around.
"Macavity!!"
"Something you wanted?" he whispered, pulling her close and kissing Demeter passionately.

~1 year later.~
He had changed. Macavity had changed. He used to be so loving to her, now he had gotten cold. Demeter knew where it had gone wrong too.
Fireforefiddle had been overthrown and Macavity had taken over as leader. It was then that he started to slip away. At first Demeter had chalked it up to Macavity getting used to being the leader. But it soon became clear that that being leader of the clan was more important then his mate was.
Demeter sighed softly as she watched the candle wax pool on the table. It was their aniversertiy and Macavity was late. Sick of waiting, Demeter blew out the candles and began cleaning the table. She was finished with the table when Macavity came in.
"Where were you?" she asked.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked.
"Do you know what today is?" she shot back.
Macavity gave her a blank look.
"I don't believe it. You forgot. You actually forgot." Demeter whispered. "It's our aniversertiy."
"Oh god. Demi, I'm sorry. I've been so busy lately. I just-"
"Forgot!" Demeter yelled. "You've been so busy that you forgot!"
"I'm sorry. I know it isn't much, but I am."
Demeter stared at him. "It isn't. I'm tired of all this Macavity."
"What? I... I don't understand."
"I'm leaving you."
"What? You can't!"
"Why shouldn't I? You're never here." Demeter started to walk out the door.
""Demeter, don't! I love you." Macavity said, grabbing her arm.
Demeter unhooked herself from him. "I loved you too. Once. Good bye Macavity." She walked out the door and didn't look back.
