Problems With Curious Kittens
By Robin Gurl
Chapter 3
(Ok this chappy is kind of short. ^^;)
Three hours later Mistoffelees still hadn't awoken. Munkustrap sighed and wiped tears away for the 100th time. "I could have prevented all of this."
"Munkus, stop blaming yourself."
"How can I? If I hadn't turned my back none of this would have happened."
Demeter sighed, "Then it's just as much as my fault as yours, I was the one spying. He's going to be ok."
Munkustrap looked over at the motionless kitten.
Munkustrap was walking home one day when he thought he heard something. It sounded like an explosion. He ran and in a clearing was Mistoffelees. What is he doing? He thought as he got closer. Then to his surprise another explosion went off. Mistoffelees pointed to the ground and a blue lightening bolt shot out of it hitting the ground.
After the light went away Mistoffelees swayed on his feet then fell flat on his face. Quickly Munkustrap got up and ran down to him. "Mistoffelees? You alright?"
Mistoffelees opened his eyes and quickly wished he hadn't. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Munkustrap helped the black kitten sit up, "You know the rules Quaxo."
"Please don't tell Rum. I don't want to be placed in a closet forever."
"A closet? Mistoffelees what are you talking about?"
"Tugger said that he'd put me in a closet if I did any magic. And I felt something weird, almost evil around here. I figured that it was important enough. Am I in trouble?
Munkustrap looked over at Mistoffelees and saw that the kitten was near tears. Mistoffelees tried to do things right, he really did. All he wanted was to help and be friends with everyone. The problem was that everyone was scared of him. The kittens were anyway. "Where was your feeling coming the strongest?"
Mistoffelees looked up tears were hanging in his innocent eyes. "What?"
"Show me where you felt it." Munkustrap stood helping the black kitten stand. "I won't hurt you, I promise."
"I...I felt it over there...." Mistoffelees led the Tom over by a hole in the pile of junk. When he got near it he tensed up, he felt it again.
"What's wrong?" Munkustrap whispered.
"I feel it again. It's strong..." Mistoffelees held his hands up and closed his eyes.
Munkustrap saw what he was trying to do and took both hands into his. "Don't. You'll just wear yourself out. Let me look inside the hole."
Before anyone could McCavity jumped out and swiped at the kitten. Munkustrap pushed Mistoffelees away quickly. "GO! RUN! GO WARN THE OTHER JELLICLES!!"
"But, what about you?"
"Mistoffelees, listen to me and go."
Mistoffelees nodded and ran as fast as a frightened kitten could. "TUGGER!!! TUGGER!!"
Rum Tum Tugger walked out stretching, he'd just woken up from a nice cat nap. Next thing he knew he was on the ground. Something black was on top of him. "TUGGER!!!" What ever it was it was in hysterics.
"Hang on there. Calm down." Tugger sat up and saw it was Mistoffelees. "Misto? What's wrong?"
"McCavitymunkustrapwarnjellicleshelphim."
The Tugger knew he wasn't getting anywhere like this. He grabbed the kitten's shoulders and looked into Mistoffelees' eyes, he saw fear and lots of it. "Repeat. Slowly."
"McCavity is here. Munkustrap told me to come warn the other Jellicles." Mistoffelees was shivering from fear, he was scared. "We need to go help him."
"No, you're not. Go back to the kitten's box with the rest of the kits. The other Toms can protect you better there. I'm going after Munkus." Mistoffelees was pushed towards the box and Rum ran.
In the box Mistoffelees curled up in his corner and cried. His only playmate Victoria crept over to him. "Misto? What's wrong? Are you scared to?"
Mistoffelees looked up and saw Victoria's innocent face staring up at him. "No, I'm mad because no one will let me help."
"There is nothing you can do Misto. Just stay here where you're safe. Please? I'm not as scared when I'm around you."
Then something black with red eyes stood at the front of the box. The Queens got up and ran to the front. Bombalurina came running back shooing the kittens into the back of the box. "It's one of McCavity's pets. Move back kittens. NOW!!"
Victoria clung to Mistoffelees as the other kittens joined them. "What if the Queens can't fight him off."
"Don't worry Vici they will..." Tumblebrutus replied he was hiding with the rest but he had confidence in the Queens. They could do it.
Mistoffelees felt some kind of energy building inside of him. "Misto?" Victoria was placed beside Pouncivail and left as Mistoffelees stood up. "MISTOFFELEES WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
"Is he insane?" Pouncivial asked his eyes wide. "He'll be killed..."
