Kitten Flu
By Robin Girl
Chapter 2
(Wow, that last chapter was a doozy. 11 PAGES!! WOW!! LOL. Hope everyone enjoys this chapter. I have decided that this story is going to have Magical (my made up kitten) in it. It is just going to be a different time period obviously seeing that Misto is a kitten. That means that Magical is going to be to. Thanks everyone for the wonderful reviews. I figured that I'd reward everyone with the next chapter...ok..so a LONG preview of the next chapter. LOL. =^.^=)
Bombalurina stopped helping Victoria groom and quickly scooted over to the twins. "You two have Mistoffelees? How did you get him?"
"The box that Munkus was in collapsed. Our box did to but we went over to Munkus' box and he let us stay there. Not long afterwards his box collapsed to." Mungojerrie explained handing Mistoffelees over to Rumpleteazer. After his charge was gone he found out just how hot Mistoffelees' body was. "Poor Misto. Is he even awake Rumple?"
"I don't know…" Rumpleteazer replied in a shakey voice. Her fear was resurfacing and fast. "I..I don't want to hold him anymore…"
Mungojerrie watched as his sister shook in fear. "It's alright Teazer."
Bombalurina reached and took Mistoffelees from Rumpleteazer. Worriedly the Queen looked over to the young Queen who was now sobbing in her brother's arms. "Quaxo, come on wake up."
Mistoffelees' eyes opened and he saw with blurry vision what he thought to be Bombalurina. He shivered from being soaked with water. "Bomb?"
"Yes, it's me. Are you feeling ok?"
"I…I guess…"
"Do you know where you are?"
Mistoffelees thought for a moment then shook his head.
"You're back in the Kitten Box."
"Oh." The Kitten replied hoarsely, "Was I bad at Munkustrap's box? Is that why I'm back?"
"No silly kitten. We're just having a bad rainstorm. It's safer here, for everyone."
"Is Magical awake?"
Bombalurina smiled laughing. "Not yet. She's a sound sleeper just like you. But she needs to get up anyway."
Mungojerrie smiled, "I'll wake her up. Where is she?"
Rumpleteazer nodded, "Yes, I'll help to." Her eyes were bright again as they once were when Mistoffelees mentioned Magical.
"Back in Misto's corner." Bombalurina motioned with her head towards a dark corner in the left. "Be careful and gentle. She is scared by just about anything or anyone."
Back in the corner Mungojerrie looked around in the mound of blankets and found a small black kitten curled in them. If he hadn't had known better he would have thought Mistoffelees and Magical were twins. Both kittens looked exactly alike and unless you knew that Magical was a girl you would have called her Mistoffelees. From behind both looked the same and were more than once thought to be the other. "Hey, Magi…come on wake up."
Slowly the black kitten sat up. Her eyes looked groggily around the box confused at why she had to wake up. Once Magical's vision cleared she saw Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer kneeling in front of her. "To early." She mumbled then fell back in her blankets.
"No, it's not." Rumpleteazer playfully tickled the kitten's waist.
The kitten giggled and rolled over her eyes were bright and cheerful. "STOP!! That's not fair. I'm ticklish there." She sat back up and then looked around. Her mate wasn't beside her, which was very uncommon. "Where is Mistoffelees?"
The twins looked to one another and decided it was for the best. Mungojerrie took the responsibility of telling the kitten. He poked her nose playfully and kissed her cheek. "He's got the flu."
"Oh no. Where is he?" Magical stood and looked around. Then her eyes widened with fear when she saw her mate lying on the ground not moving. "Misto!" She tried to run to him but the twins stopped her. "Let me go see him."
"Stop. We don't need you sick like him to." Mungojerrie held the black kitten tight not allowing Magical to move at all.
"LET ME GO!" She shouted making everyone look at her.
Demeter gulped and started making her way towards them. "Jerrie let her go before…it's to late."
Magical's eyes glowed and a blue energy outlined her body. Mungojerrie let her go scared and hid. "Magi? What's wrong?"
As quickly as the energy appeared it was gone. Magical fell to her knees breathing hard. When she opened her eyes again she looked normal again.
"What was that all about?"
Demeter gave the Twins a warning glance and helped Magical over to Mistoffelees. After she was sure Magical was going to be all right she moved back over with Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie. "NEVER! I mean NEVER keep her away from Mistoffelees again. That blue energy was her magic. If you restrain her from seeing who she loves or wants her magic will start up. Same with Mistoffelees. You two are lucky though. Normally if she's that mad the energy around her will shock who ever has a grip on her."
"Guess I was lucky huh?" Mungojerrie whispered rubbing both his arms. He did feel lucky, no one liked to be shocked. "I've never seen her do that before."
"I have. It's definitely a show."
*~*~*~*~*
"Munkustrap look, the kitten box is glowing."
"Oh no!" Munkustrap replied, "Someone got Magical mad."
"Mad?" Deuteronomy asked.
"Yes, if Magical is held back from seeing Misto or something else then she gets mad and her magic surfaces."
The box stopped glowing and returned to normal. Munkustrap wanted to go to Magical but he knew he had to help their leader.
When he finally got there he looked in and saw all of the kittens on one side of the box and on the other were Magical and Mistoffelees. He should have known that Magical would have been with him. They had fallen in love early, for they were still kittens. Munkustrap had told them to not get to close in case they decided when they grew up that they weren't going together anymore. That hadn't stopped either of them. In fact, if it was possible, it made the two black kitten's bond tighter. No one was allowed in the inner circle. Munkustrap had also seen many a time Mistoffelees protect Magical from anyone. Rum had learned to back off real quickly. He never got near Magi to flirt.
"Munkus?" Magical looked up she looked tired, "Misto is sick."
"I know Magi, I know."
"Is he going to be ok?" Magical asked innocently. Sounding like the kitten she was.
"He should be Magi, he should be." Munkustrap knelt down in front of the black kitten. "Come on, you don't need to be here. You could catch it to."
"So? He's always there for me. I want to be here for him. It's only fair."
Munkustrap raised his eyebrows amused. This kitten was smart. Very smart for her age. "Would he want you sick?"
Magical thought for a moment. True, Mistoffelees didn't want her sick…but how could she leave him? It just didn't seem right to leave her mate here alone. He would stay with her, even if it was deadly…right? She was so confused now. Her head began to hurt and her eyes were down cast. "I'm staying."
"Magi-"
"No, I already decided. I'm staying. Go over with the other kittens." Magical slid back down and lay on her head on Mistoffelees' chest. Feeling the up and down movements when he breathed comforted her to no ends. "Just go…"
Munkustrap nodded and made his way over to the kittens. To his surprise the others seemed to not notice a thing. They just went on their normal ways.
Pouncival and Tumblebrutus were seeing who could flip the most without falling over dizzy. Jemima and Etcetera were pretending to do something, what though, Munkus couldn't tell. What ever it was, it was keeping them occupied, which, was what the Queens wanted. Electra and Victoria were playing with a ball of something, probably trash.
Munkustrap felt a weight hit his leg. He looked down and saw Pouncival staring up at him. "Sorry Munkus.."
"You loose Pounce!!"
"What??! No!! I didn't fall over dizzy, I just went the wrong way…"
"Nuh-uh!!"
"Both of you behave or I'll give you something you'll never forget." Jellyorum called over from her spot.
Both kittens stopped clawing over each other and sat up. "Yes ma'am."
Tumble poked Pounce, "You started it."
"No I did not.."
Munkustrap cleared his throat quieting both kittens instantly before they could cause anymore problems. Taking care of kittens was a job.
