Misto nodded.
"What are you doing here? What do you want?" asked Old Deuteronomy.
Misto turned to him. "I'm not sure if I should tell you. Or if you'll understand." Misto
wondered how he was going to explain how he was for a queen whose name he didn't
even know, and had to help. "Never know until you try…" he thought. "Here goes."
"I'm looking for someone. A queen."
"Who? Why?"
"I don't know. I can't tell you." Misto replied, the brief image of 'Dancer's face floating
across his mind.
Old Deuteronomy picked up on the image and growled softly. "I'm not going to let you
take her away." he hissed, grabbing Misto.
"You know her." he stated.
"She's my daughter. And I won't let you near her."
Misto pried Old Deuteronomy's hands off. "You don't have a say in this, ask Selene if
you don't believe me. Now I only have a short amount of time here, and I don't know who
or where she is. Will you help me or not?"
"I will." Tantomile replied softly.
Misto turned back to her, kneeling next to her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Tant stood up with his help. "Her name's MoonbeamDancer. The one she lost was-"
"Her twin brother. I know."
"I'll introduce you." Tant said, starting for the entrance to the lair.
"Tantomile!" exclaimed both Cori and Deuteronomy.
She looked back at them. "What? She needs to let go of Phantom. Misto's the only one
that can help her."
And with that, she took Misto's hand and led him out.
As the two went through the yard Tant asked, "You won't hurt her right?"
"I just want to help her Tantomile. I would never hurt another cat."
"Good. She's one of my closest friends, I don't want her to be hurt."
The two walked by a small group of queens, which Cassie was a part of, and she stopped
talking to them long enough to come over to the two of them and say, "Hi Misto." And do
some not so subtle flirting with her body, running her tail under his chin.
Misto moved his chin away and replied, "Hello Cassandra." ignoring her attempts to flirt
with him.
"How are you?" she asked, paying no attention to Tant and brushing Misto's ears with her
fingers.
Misto growled softly and Tant grabbed Cass's hand away. "We're fine, we're busy."
Cassie's eyes narrowed and she glared at Tant for interrupting. "Doing what?" she nosily
asked.
"None of your business." Misto replied and moved around her.
Tant followed and they left Cassie behind. Tant laughed softly as they left. "I think that's
the first time a tom ignored her attempts like that."
"She's not my type, and I'm not interested in her."
The two came to 'Dancer's lair.
"This is her lair. I'll see if she's here."
"Okay."
Tant went in and Misto sat down just inside the entrance to wait.
"Moonbeam?" Tantomile called softly, looking for her friend.
Since Phantom had died, MoonbeamDancer had been fairly quite and had spent a lot of
time alone. Tant and several of the other cats had checked on her daily to make sure she
was okay.
"Right here." Moonbeam said, stepping out of the darkness.
"Hi." Tant said, hugging the darker queen and licking her cheek. "How are you?"
"Fine. Been better, but fine."
"There's someone I'd like for you to meet. He's waiting outside."
"Oh? Is it that new cat that Cassie brought? She won't shut up about him."
Tant nodded. "Yeah." and led her over to meet Misto.
"What are you doing here? What do you want?" asked Old Deuteronomy.
Misto turned to him. "I'm not sure if I should tell you. Or if you'll understand." Misto
wondered how he was going to explain how he was for a queen whose name he didn't
