I don't own cats. ::shifty look from side to side:: I just control their little world in this story... mwahahaha! ::calms down:: er... anyway...
Soon the three different sides were all fighting each for their own reasons. In the midst of the fight Teazer bumped into Mungo who turned to face her then stepped back away. "No, please, Mungo-" she begged reaching for his arm.
He frowned ignoring the fact he could hear the fear and sadness in her voice and turned away. "You don' need me."
"Oi do to," she insisted grasping his wrist. "Mungo- Please-"
He pulled her towards and past him out of the way of one of Razorfists toms. The tom sliced at him with a hiss and hissing back he ducked the paw before slicing across his chest. "Don' jus' stand der, Teazer," he snapped as the other tom stumbled back. "Don' worry 'bout Macavity's lot- we're supposeda make sure you don' get hurt."
He didn't see the hurt in her eyes when he told her this. so dat's the only reason he's here- is because he's followin' orders...so we really are over for good... Teazer quickly turned away claws extended to fight.
She never got the chance, because the fighting stopped, not all at once but slowly as those fighting realized that others had stopped. Confused she looked around then her gaze followed where others were starting to look.
"No!" Missy screamed running across the clearing to the fallen tom that laid at Macavity's feet. She pulled Razorfist's bloody body into her arms and cried.
Cherokee crossed over to her and knelt down pulling her against him. "He's dead," he observed quietly which only made the Queen cry harder.
Macavity was panting from the fight but turned towards where Teazer and Mungo were standing. Neither had noticed the danger that had come behind them and his eyes widdened slightly.
Munkustrap had also noticed the danger about the same time and started forward shouting for them to move. But it was too late, a large tom that had worked for Razorfist had grabbed Teazer from behind his claws digging into her. It had been his orders to kill her if Razorfist had died and he was going to obey those orders.
"Teazer!" Mungo cried leaping forward to try and help her. The tom let go of her long enough to shove him back into the ground. Teazer had moved to run but he was surprizingly fast and leapt on top of her his jaws closing around her throat ripping into it. She would have screamed if she could but no sound was coming out as she struggled against him.
Alonzo and Plato leapt at the tom having arrived just before Munkustrap and clawed at him biting and scratching. It didn't take long before the tom had to let go of Teazer to defend himself and by that time Macavity and Munkustrap had both reached them.
The large tom soon ran off unable to fight against four toms. "Let's leave," Macavity commanded of his group and those of Razorfists group who hadn't ran off. He didn't look in Teazor's direction as he passed her body and went back to where Cherokee had managed to get Missy to release Razorfists body.
Mungo looked from Macavity down to Teazer then back. "Bu- Oi-"
"Stay, Mungojerrie, I release you from service," Macavity stated bluntly as him and the rest left.
Mungo immediatly went to Teazer's side positioning her head on his lap and trying to stop the bleeding. "Teazer-" he whispered.
"Alonzo! Get Jelly and Jenny," Munkustrap ordered.
"Teaze, ya can' leave me," Mungo pleaded.
She opened her eyes to look at the blurr that his voice was coming from. She managed to choke out a single word. "Sorry."
He swallowed. "No, no, don' be sorry. Dats my job, Teaze," he whispered. "Oi was an idot... Oi shouldn' have left ya... Oi love ya."
Oi love ya too. She smiled at him as her eyes dimmed.
"Oi love ya," he repeated brokenly. "Don' leave me, please, don' leave me." Munkustrap rested a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.
Well... there you go... End of Rumpleteazer's Secret.
