(Demeter's POV)
I noticed him walking away and followed him. I wasn't exactly sure why, I'm not usually the stalker type. I just felt like something wasn't quite right though. As soon as he thought he was out of sight he gained a slight limp. Scratches covered his body and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him. He and his siblings were quite a sight to see, all as thin as rakes, I could guarantee that Jenny would soon sort that out soon enough.
"What are you doing Demeter?" I asked myself, "Why are you just watching him, it's creepy!"
I turned to leave when I heard a strange noise. I spun round quickly,
"Oh Heaviside," I mumbled as I ran towards the silver tom.

(Munkustrap's POV)
"How the hell did I get down here?" I wondered as I sat up slowly. I must have blacked out for a second.
"Are you ok?"
I jumped slightly; I didn't think anyone had seen me. At my side was a beautiful queen with gold and black fur that shone like gold. I immediately forgot all about me passing out.
"Erm, yeah. Fine," I replied grinning goofily.
"I'm Demeter," she offered her paw.
"Munkustrap," my paw touched hers and we both smiled.
"Not one for crowds then?"
"Um they're not too bad, but Deuteronomy mentioned something about rest and that sounded good,"
Dem laughed, "I know the feeling. Can you get up, or would you rather stay here for the moment?"
I attempted to stand but pain radiated through my whole body, I winced and sat back down,
"Ok, it looks like I'm staying here for the moment," I laughed.
Demeter didn't join in,
"How can you laugh when you're hurt?" she asked.
"Got nothing better to do. Besides it's not too bad."
Her pretty face was still full of concern,
"Do you want me to get anyone? Jenny? Your brothers?"
"No, it's alright."
"Fine I'll stay with you then," she looked determined, not someone to argue with. I tried not to grin like an idiot, it wasn't everyday that a beautiful queen was concerned about me. In fact it wasn't usually any day.
"So are you the eldest then?"
"Huh?"
"Out of your brothers and sister, are you the eldest?"
"Oh yeah," I replied hoping that she couldn't see me blush.
"I had a feeling you would be, how old are you?"
"One. What do you mean, a feeling?"
Demeter didn't notice my question,
"One, same as me and my sister then. You seem older than that you know."
"Not interrupting anything am I?"
I looked up to see a large ginger tom.
"Hello Macavity," Demeter greeted him, "This is Munku..."
Macavity interrupted, "I was at the meeting my dear."
"Oh right, of course. Erm Munkustrap, this is Macavity, if you're Deuteronomy's son then he'd be your... cousin, right?"
"Right darlin," Macavity smiled sweetly at her. My heart sank, there had to be something going on between these two. The way they looked at each other just turned me green with envy. If only I could be on the receiving ends of one of those glances from Demeter. Snapping out of it I greeted Macavity,
"Well hi then...cuz."
Macavity glared at me,
"Hello Munkustrap."
The coldness in his voice sent shivers up my spine. Great, only been here two minutes and already someone hates me. Demeter didn't notice Macavity's glare,
"Oh Mac, now that you're here can you help me get him to Jenny's? He needs rest."
"Of course my dear."
"Erm, it's ok, I'm fine really. I'll manage," I managed to get halfway to my paws but Macavity and Demeter helped me up the rest of the way,
"It's no trouble," Demeter reassured me.
"None at all, we can't have you getting hurt again can we?"
I detected a slight threat in Macavity's words and shuddered. What did he have against me?
