Time to Die
The Jellicles were gonna clean the junkyard. "It would be really hard, Deuteronomy had said , "but there is more and more junk every day, we're running out of space."
So now they had to clean. Not all of the Jellicles were here. Mostly just the queens and a few of the Toms. Such as Tugger, Alonzo, Mungojerrie and Munkustrap. The only queens not there it seemed were Exotica, Cassandra, Bomby and Demeter. Too bad they weren't here, it would be fun.
Rumpleteazer was told to help on the east side of the junkyard. Hardly anybody else was there. Wonder what I'll do.
Over on the east side she Deuteronomy doing something. There was part of a wall someone threw away. It had writing on it. Like Hieroglyphics. And two buttons, one blue, one red. It looked as though he was holding something. A knife and a mouse. With one swipe he killed it. Then, he muttered something under his breath. With a bit of hand movements and some misty stuff the mouse was, alive!
Then Deuteronomy came, he came for Rumpleteazer.The look of hatred in his eyes. He'd always been so loving and respectable. Now he was cold, evil and mad. Mad at what though. Had Macavity done something to him? It didn't matter now because Rumpleteazer had to run. Run away from the crazed leader. And she did.
She ran to where her brother said he'd be. He had to clean over by the car. She ran, but as she did she ran into Alonzo. He was dead. His front left paw was cut off. The sight horrified Rumpleteazer. She couldn't get it out of her mind. But still she thought, I have to run, otherwise, I don't know what'll happen but it'll be dreadful. She finally got to Mungojerrie. "Jerrie! Help! Old D. He's gone crazy, he's trying to kill me!"
"Rumple ya' okay! Old D. Crazy? 'ave you been dreamin' again?"
"No, he's ova there!"
When Jerrie looked he saw him. Crazy, Cold and full of Hatred.
"Rumple, we gotta get outta here."
"I know!"
"Then run."
They ran, they ran all the way home fortunately, Deuteronomy's age had caught up with him and they had been able to get home safely.
"Jerrie, What do we do? If we go back he'll try to hurt me again."
"We'll have to stay away from the junkyard for awhile."
"NO! My friends, my friends, what do I tell them?"
"Rumple, you can't tell them anything. We have to hide."
"I don't want to!"
"Rumple! We have to!"
"O-okay." she gave in. So for four weeks they stayed way from the junkyard. Wondering if Deuteronomy had gone out of his fase. The quittens all cam to visit but soon stopped. Rumple wondered if it was because they coldn't bother of because Deuteronomy had got them. And she'll continue to wonder till she goes back to the junkyard. The Jellicle Junkyard. And she still goes over it in her head. How Old D. had gotten Alonzo. The cruel cold look of hatred in his eyes.
