I do not own CATS the Musical. However many of my cats in this story are not part of the musical. a will be beside their names.
Demeter woke up in a small crate and a young queen, barely older than her was watching the door. She was sleek black, barely noticeable in the night. When the Guard Cat hear Deter move she turned and looked at her her bright shiny Silver eyes gleamed in the darkness. She shook her head as Demeter tried to speak and waved to someone out side to come in.
"She's awake now father."
"Thank-you Celeste I can take it from here."
"Shall I fetch Macavity?"
"Yes, then go find your sister, I think she's playing with the Jerrie boy."
"Again? When will she learn?"
"Go!"
"Yes Sir!"
"So, I'm going to take a guess, your scared, and don't know why your here, and you can't believe your mother is dead," he paused to look out the window then continued, "Being scared is understandable, your mother is dead which I am not sorry about," Demeter whimpered at that, he was ruthless, "and... Yes?"
The young queen had appeared at the door again a clone of the tom talking to her was standing behind Celeste and Celeste had a paw on the small queen infront of her's shoulder. Demeter gasped when the tom in the door way opened his eyes and looked at her, they were blood red and emotionless.
"Why did you bring the runt here!" Macadam demanded from Celeste, "She has no business here..."
"She is your daughter!" screeched Celeste and a queen came in behind her looking concerned.
"What's going on?"
"We were TRYING to tell father that Rumpleteazer has made her first theft!"
"She has!" Macadam smiled and walked over and pulled Rumpleteazer into a hug, "What did you steal?"
"I stole a pearlie necklace fo' momma!" she smiled and pulled out a beautiful pearl necklace and handed to her mother, "I saw it and I knew you'd wuv it!"
The mother started to cry and said,
"I love it hunny, but you keep your first theft, its our family rules. Like remember Celeste's Diamonds?"
"Yah momma, I remember those diamonds but wha bout Macavity, he ain't stole nothin yet."
"Actually," spoke up Macavity, "I did steal something last night, and Momma and Father brought my prize back for me,"he walked over and sat beside Demeter, "I stole her mother's life," Demeter's eyes widened and she pulled back from him in horror, "and my pay off, is her as my mate."
"But we're just kittens yet!"
"yah," he said in a casual way, "But teenaged cats can have kittens."
Demeter recoiled from him and slunked into a back corner. The brown queen said something to Macadam and then he and the three kittens left the crate. Now that they were out of the way she could see out the doorway that she was inside of some sort of building.
"Darling, did the Jellicles tell you about "The Death of Emily" yet?"
"Yes... but why does that matter now?"
"Because I am Emily. I didn't die. The Jellicles will think that you are dead and thats what the other kittens will grow up believing, the story of "The Death of Demeter". But you see, I was kidnapped the same as you for the same reason, except Macadam's father killed my mother. But you see, don't tell anyone this but, Macadam and I fell in love while I was just a prisoner, and I'm not just a mate, I'm his life partner. In time you'll grow to love Macavity, and if you don't, you'll have his kittens and then he'll let you go. I won't let them kill you. Feel free to wander, but stay in the house."
