Even though he was weak, Mungojerrie remained in front of Demeter and growled softly. "You're not touching her, I'd die before you ever laid a claw on her."
Macavity looked at the tom standing in front of him. Said tom was swaying ever so slightly due to lack of food and water, and his coat could of used a good cleaning, but here he was, protecting his mate. Taking him out would be no problem and the queen would be his.
Macavity lunged and Mungo quickly shoved Demeter out of harm's way. Macavity slashed at 'Jerrie with the knife and the blade bit into the skin of his chest, leaving behind a bright trail of blood and pain. Mungojerrie hissed and swiped at Macavity, his claws cutting Macavity's arm. Demeter, scared for both her and 'jerrie's lives, watched as the fight progressed and the two toms proceeded to cut each other badly, either with the knife or with claws. Demeter growled softly and jumped at Macavity herself, shouting for him to stop.
Macavity yowled as Demeter landed on his back, digging in. He threw her off and delivered a last blow to 'Jerrie. Demmie landed on the ground in a painful heap and 'Jerrie slumped to the ground, blood running down his body from numerous cuts, some shallow, some very deep. He also had some bruises forming on his body. Macavity turned and advanced towards Demeter. She saw this and began to back away, fear filling her eyes.
"Mungojerrie." she whimpered.
Macavity growled and grabbed her, yanking her to her feet.
"'Jerrie!" she yelped in fear.
Jerrie's ear flicked at her cry and he tried to help her, but failed, falling back to the floor.
"You are mine now." Macavity hissed to her, picking her up and carrying her out of the room. Demeter's cries for help were the last thing that Jerrie heard as he fell unconscious.
Demeter clawed and kicked as Macavity dragged her into his chamber.
"Let go of me!" she screamed.
Macavity slammed the door shut behind them and set Demeter roughly on the floor. She promptly lashed out with her left hand, raking her claws across his left cheek. Macavity hissed angrily, and slapped her back hard enough to split open her bottom lip, and knock her to the floor with a small spray of blood.
"Big mistake." he growled, pouncing on her, claws and fists flying and cutting her skin.
Demeter screamed and cried out in pain as she fought back. The room filled with hisses and yowls as Macavity yanked Demeter to her feet, and over to the bed throwing her onto it.
"Mungojerrie. Come on, wake up."
Jerrie groaned and slowly opened his eyes, wincing at the light pouring down on him.
"Where am I?"
"Demeter's cell."
Mungo sat up, moaning out loud from the pain. "Teaze, Macavity has her. I have to get to her before she's hurt."
Teazer shook her head. "Your wounds need to be looked at first."
"But Teaze…" Jerrie protested, beginning to get up off the cell floor.
"Jerrie…" Rumpleteazer said, "You're of no use to Demeter if you're not taken care of. Let me take care of your wounds and then you can go play "knight in shining armor"."
Mungo stopped, seeing that his sister had a point/ "All right, but hurry!"
