Disclaimer: In no way do I own any of the cats from "Cats" the musical, all
of them belonging to the talented T. S. Eliot. The characters Chyna and
Cassie belong to me though. Stealing them will result in Macavity doing
evil and mean things, like the evil villain he is. Enjoy the story!
Chapter 11
Cassie woke up on a cold dark floor with her head ringing. She sat up and moaned. She then remembered what had happened and started to cry. She ached for Misto. She hugged herself, realizing how cold it really was in that small damp cell. All it was a cement room with an open window with bars, so the cold wind could come in and bite the unfortunate prisoner. She shivered and realized she was hungry and thirsty. Her feet hurt from supporting her swollen belly, and she was sore all over as if someone had dragged her here from Tibet! And considering the circumstances that's probably what happened. She then heard footsteps in the hallway, so she backed up to the far wall. She swallowed her tears and wiped all the pain and sorrow off her face as Macavity waltz into her cell.
"Hello, beautiful. How was your little nap?" Macavity sneered, approaching her seductively.
She turned her head from him and spit at his feet. He cackled. "Hmmm, well, you just lost all of your meals for today. Keep that up and you won't be eating for a long time. And that can't be good for your kittens, right?" She kicked herself mentally. He knew she would do anything for her unborn kittens. She really should keep her mouth shut.
Macavity ran his hand up her arm. "You are a very beautiful queen, Cassiopia. I don't want to change that now, do I?" he snarled in her ear. An unwanted tear trickled down Cassie's cheek.
"Aw. Do you miss your Mistoffelees?" Macavity asked mockingly. Cassie shot him the coldest look she could manage. Macavity swiped at her face, throwing her against the wall. She fell to the floor dazed, and she heard Macavity say to a couple of his henchcats, "Take her to my throne room... I have a little surprise for her..." She felt herself being lifted up and carried away.
They carried her down a long hallway and into a large room full of crates. They set her down in the middle of the room, right in front of a huge chair. She felt dizzy. She looked up and saw Macavity waltz in with...Mistoffelees?!? She did a double take and saw that this cat almost looked exactly like Misto, except that he had a large star on his chest. Not Misto. Seeing him made her even more homesick, and she whimpered slightly. They heard her and laughed.
"So this is the so called Magical Mr. Mistoffelees mate?" the strange cat purred, walking in a circle around her. She didn't like the way he was looking at her, but she kept quiet for the sake of her kittens.
"And who are you?" Cassie asked, with a little edge on her voice.
"My name is Vindemiatrix. I raised myself from the streets and Macavity was nice enough to give me a home and a job." he said slyly. She winced at his tone. He sounded like a sinister Mistoffelees.
"What do you want with me?" Cassie asked.
Macavity leered at her. "Oh, my dear, we want you to suffer!" and cackled in her face.
Cassie cringed back from him and frantically thought to Misto, "Misto, hurry!" Then the henchcats dragged her off to unmentionable tortures.

Three days later......
The plan was in full swing. They decided not to attack until three days later when Macavity would lower his defenses a little. Misto didn't want to, but of course Old Deuteronomy over ruled him. Chyna was still upset, so Misto gave her a hug to comfort her. "We'll get her back, you just do your part!" Misto whispered in her ear. Chyna then smiled and wiped away her tears. She turned to Munkustrap.
"How's your arm, Munky?" She asked, examining his arm that Macavity injured.
"It's ok, Chyna." He said, putting his arm around her. She just melted. She then prepared herself for the role she was about to play in Cassie's rescue. Since Macavity had never seen her before, she was going to pretend that she wants to join Macavity's forces, then find out where they are keeping Cassie. She will then give the signal to Mistoffelees who will then tell Munk to ambush with the rest of the Jellicles as he and Chyna save Cassie. She gave Munk a hug. "Wish me luck!"
He turned her around and gave her a kiss that knocked her off her feet.
"Wow, I should go rescue friends more often!" She giggled.
"Before you go, Chyna, I want you to know that I love you." Munk looked into her green eyes.
"I love you too." Chyna said, giving him an even longer kiss.
Watching those two made Misto's heart ache for Cassie and his kittens. He fought back tears as he thought of his poor Cassie enduring Macavity. He also had his mind on that magical cat. Who was he? Mistoffelees thought that he was the only magical cat in the entire city. Magical cats are very rare. He shook the thought out of his head. He needed to focus on saving his dear Cassiopia.
