Author's notes: This is a bit of a violent chapter, not as violent as I could have got it but I'm saving the best till last.

"MACAVI'Y!" Rumple screamed as a fiery cat rushed towards the junkyard.

The other cats panicked, neither Munkustrap nor Alonzo was there to help them. Jenny decided to take control, she sent the adults to protect the kittens in a circle near the tire.

'Macavity' ran into the clearing where the other cats where standing, ready to fight.

"Da's no' Macavi'y…" Rumple stared.

"It's a girl!" Etcetera squealed with delight. The kitten rushed through the other cats and skidded to halt in front of the queen. "What's your name?"

"Evevity. What's yours?" The queen grinned at the kitten, everything was going to plan.

"Etcetera!" Etcetera said with awe. "You look just like Macavity."

"Who? Is he important or something?" Evevity knew who Macavity was all right; it was just a cunning ploy to gain their trust.

"You don't know who Macavity is?" Jelly gasped with astonishment.

The cats broke their circle and made another round Evevity, all of them trying to explain who Macavity was.

"Wait till Munkustrap and Alonzo and Coricopat and Tantomile and Deuteronomy meet you. They'll love you." Etcetera laughed happily.

Evevity suddenly remembered that she'd attacked Munkustrap and he was obviously still alive. "Where are they now?"

"Munkustrap and Alonzo and Coricopat and Tantomile have left to kill Macavity, and Deuteronomy is visiting family."

"They've gone to kill… Macavity?" She tried to sound as calm as she could, he was her brother and she did love him because of that.

"Do you have powers like Macavity?" Tumble asked.

"Um… yeah, a few."

"Oooohhhh! Like what?"

"Levitation, morphing, just a few things that get me by."

"What can you morph into?"

"I can't morph myself yet, just other objects around me."

"Change dis rock in'a… a ca'nip mouse toy fingy." Rumple grinned, handing Evevity a large rock.

"I'll try…" Knowing perfectly well she could. She held the rock in her paws and it began to glow a gentle orange. The rock started to shape itself into a mouse, as if it was bread dough. It glowed an extremely bright white, sending the other cats springing back in surprise (they all had their faces right up close to the rock).

"It's a catnip mouse!" Etcetera cried delightedly, stating the obvious, when the light faded away. She snatched the mouse from Evevity's paws and ran off to play with it, closely followed by the remaining kittens and young cats.

"That's sort of impressive."

Evevity turned to see Demeter watching her coldly from an old washing machine.

"Hey cat, I didn't catch your name?" Evevity smiled sweetly. She knew who this cat was; Macavity had talked non-stop about her when they were an item.

"Demeter." The queen answered coldly. Although Demeter hadn't seen this cat before, she reminded her too much of Macavity.

"Demeter. Hhmm, nice name."

"Why are you here?" The queen still spoke coldly.

"Took a wrong turn."

"You must have an extremely bad sense of direction, there's nothing of interest anywhere near here."

"It's not perfect, especially after being chased by a gang of Pekes."

"You must have really pis… upset them." Demeter nearly forgot the presence of the other cats.

"You could say that… they must have thought I was this Macavity."

"I don't think Munkustrap and Alonzo will enjoy this company."

"Oh…" Evevity had completely forgotten about them. "Can you all excuse me for a moment."

"So polite…" Jelly was saying as Evevity swiftly left the junkyard.

"'Ay bass, go' a job fa may?" a matted stray slurred as Evevity approached where his gang was sitting.

"I need you to take care of a couple of cats for me…" She proceeded to explain the cats in mind. "…Any others and you're to kill. Remember I want Munkustrap alive, you know the reason. Don't beat him up too badly."

The stray grinned, "Na probs bass."

The other laughed menacingly and raced of to find their victims.

Evevity grinned with approval and made her way back to the junkyard.

"Can't we hurry this up?" Munkustrap muttered, still downhearted that he didn't know who the killer was.

"Nearly there…" Alonzo started to say.

"The Jellicles are in danger." Tantomile suddenly said.

"The killer is with them." Coricopat added.

This act of natural magic always freaked Munkustrap out.

"Tantomile, you run ahead and make sure they're not in immediate danger. Be back as quickly as you can." Munkustrap ordered.

Tantomile nodded and sprinted on ahead.

The remanding three quickened their pace.

Snap

The three toms stopped and turned their heads round to see where the noise had come from.

"I wasn't the only one who heard that…?" Alonzo whispered.

Snap

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Munkustrap shouted.

After a pause that seemed like eternity a matted grey stray crept forward, alone.

Coricopat seemed very tense; this didn't help Munkustrap's nerves.

"I've ga' sumfang fa yah." The stray grinned menacingly.

Alonzo also tensed up beside Munkustrap.

"Not helping guys." Munkustrap thought nervously.

The stray smiled as they where suddenly surrounded by a gang of stray's.

"Oh shit…" Alonzo muttered. "At least Tantomile is safe… I hope she is…"

The strays advanced forward, slowly. This made Munkustrap extremely nervous, he could barely walk let alone fight. He just wanted it to be over.

"THAT'S THE ONE SHE WANTS! GET HIM AND KILL THE OTHERS!" One of the strays yelled, flinging himself at Munkustrap.

The stray sent Munkustrap flying and they ended up in a tangle of limbs. The other strays joined in, at least three to one. Munkustrap, Alonzo and Coricopat where outnumbered, only Alonzo and Coricopat where able to fight the strays off.

Munkustrap felt his body being dragged along the ground, he couldn't see as the matted stray had punched his face so badly he couldn't see a thing. His face had swollen up and he bled in places.

"Alonzo…" Munkustrap gasped hoarsely. The stray kicked him hard in the chest, winding him.

The noise of the battle died down as Munkustrap was dragged away. He tried to fight back but the stray had a solution to his feeble punches. He promptly grabbed Munkustrap's arm with both his front paws, held it above his knee then, with all the strength he could, brought Munkustrap's arm down on his knee.

SNAP
Munkustrap screamed with pain as his arm broke at a gruesome right angle and he nearly collapsed.

"That's for trying to punch me, bastard." The stray hissed. "Now shut up or I'll brake the other arm and don't think I wont. Better still I'll break that little kittens arm, that would be funny to watch."

Munkustrap hardly made a noise, not even a whimper. He didn't care about his own well being, just for the safety of the kittens. This proved incredibly difficult, especially when he'd a fractured arm that was being used to drag him along the floor.

Munkustrap was doing amazingly well until one of his back paws got caught. The stray yanked hard at the broken arm in an attempted to free his victim.

Munkustrap couldn't control his bloodcurdling screams; the pain was too much to stand. He eventually collapsed into blackness.

"Munkustrap…Munkustrap…"

Munkustrap heard a familiar voice whisper near him. His eyes felt incredibly heavy, as did his whole body. He felt very stiff, he needed a stretch, one of those whole body ones. He tried to move but excruciating pain forced him to stay where he was.

"…er…what…who's…that…?" Munkustrap whispered in a near inaudible voice.

"What did you say?" The voice asked quietly.

"Who's… that?" He said a little louder.

"It's me… Tugger. Are you OK?" He was still whispering.

"Tugger? I thought I'd lost you." He whispered, his voice wobbly as tears threatening to make an appearance.

"You can't get rid of me that easily."

Munkustrap tried again to open his eye but they wouldn't budge.

"Rest. You look like you need it." Tugger said softly.

Before Munkustrap could argue he felt back into a deep sleep.
