Disclaimer: for those of you who are not sure when the death part kicks in of my story wait for the next chapter, because it comes fast.

The Jellicles stared at Macavity who smiled at them. Apollo dragged Diddledee out of the tunnel to push her in front of Macavity. "Here's your spy!" he spat. Mistoffelees looked on in horror as Macavity stared at his daughter. Somehow it had never occurred to him that someone would find Diddledee. Without thinking he stepped forward.

"I invited her," he said. His voice was steady, even though his fingers were shaking. Everyone gasped and Macavity frowned.

"Surely you, my brother, would think twice about this. I would expect something this horrid from Rum Tum Tugger, not you Mistoffelees," Macavity said looking Misto straight in the eye. Tugger made a nose deep in his throat.

"Excuse me," he muttered, "If anyone cares," he added making Macavity and Misto look at him. "I gave that up months ago. Now me an' Bombi are all fine." Macavity smirked and at that moment both Bombalurina and Jennyanydots went into labor. Without a moments hesitation Tugger headed for Bombi. Bustopher Jones went to Jennyanydots, but Jellylorum was torn between the two queens, which should she help? Demeter made this decision for her. Leaping into action, Demi made a beeline for her sister, leaving the Gumby cat for Jelly. The rest of the cats stayed circled around the two toms. Munkustrap hissed at Diddledee, scaring her so much she ran under her father's legs.

Diddlepaws smiled as her father stared at Diddledee; finally, the perfect sister would be punished. Still smiling, she turned to look at Apollo. She was pleased to see the sparkle that once was interest had turned into hatred.

Unknown by anyone, Victoria had slipped back and joined Plato. When she reached him, he nuzzled her neck. "I almost feel bad about this, but you make me feel so good," Plato sighed. After a moment he spoke again, "Tell me you're mine, that you don't care about Mistoffelees." Without a moments hesitation she answered him.

"I'm all yours."

Etcetera stared at the couple entwined around eachother. One of her best friends was crazy; Victoria was messing with Plato. She couldn't believe Victoria would do this to Misto. It was cruelty, pure, unhindered cruelty.

Munkustrap growled at Macavity while Deuteronomy watched, his expression unhappy. Macavity looked at his cowering kitten. "Why did you come?" he asked her.

"Misto invited me."

"I mean other than that."

"I wanted to see the ball." Macavity frowned at Diddledee when she said this.

"You should have asked me. I would have had Jerrie and Teazer take you," He told her. At her look of surprise Macavity continued, "yes, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer still work for me." All the Jellicles turned and hissed at the two cats.

"Why does it matter how I came?" Diddledee asked.

"If I had known, we wouldn't be in this position!" Macavity hissed.

Rum Tum Tugger ignored what was going on behind him; his only focus was Bombi. His mate groaned painfully, the kittens would be born soon. Before his very eyes Demeter washed his three kittens; one queen, two toms, just as Mistoffelees had said. Tugger looked at the tow adorable toms he held, and the queen in his mate's arms. He felt something stir in his heart, something solid and kind. The Rum Tum Tugger fell in love with his three kittens and knew he would protect them at any cost. Tugger turned and looked at Macavity with determined hatred on his face.

Macavity stared at his younger brother, Tugger told him to leave? The look in his eyes said leave or die. He left, taking Diddledee with him. Even the fearless cat wasn't stupid enough to stay when he saw the love in Tugger's eyes.

A/N: I know what you're thinking, the great Napoleon of Crime is leaving the scene without killing anyone, but just you wait. I have my reasons. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter (has anyone noticed that I am getting better at putting chapters up faster?).
