Ok, chapter 2 IS HERE! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! Erm, yeah, ok. Enjoy, please R&R!
From the tyre, Munkustrap had been watching all that had happened, straining his eyes against the driving wind and rain. Now, as he saw his brother pull Rumpelteazer up onto the pile of junk, he breathed again, and turned back to his own 'responsibility' of making sure no-one else got swept off the tyre. Next to him, Demeter crouched, shivering, pressed close to his side, gasping every now and then when the level of water covering the tyre rose a little. Plato, Addy, Tumble B, Vicki and Misto huddled together, Misto using his magic as best as he could to keep them dry, and Alonzo and Cassandra clung to each other and a few wooden boards that were attached to the tyre, and various other pieces of junk. After seeing that everyone was still present and OK, he turned back to once again survey the situation.
By now, it was obvious that the 'Yard itself was feeling the pressure; several weaker bits of junk had been swept away, and it was clear that the 'Yard would soon really start falling apart. With another heavy sigh, he turned to Demeter and put an arm around her. She responded by huddling closer. They remained like that for about five minutes, before, all of a sudden, without any warning, things started happening all at once!
There was another huge rumble of thunder. All the cats looked up - it had been bigger than the last few rumbles. Munku was just comforting Demi, when several ear-splitting screams cut through the Junkyard. Munku looked to the source of the screams…just in time to see the pile of junk his brother and Rumpel were standing on crumble from the base. As if in slow-motion, they fell, along with pieces of wood, metal and plastic. Munkustrap tried to cry out, but his voice box seemed to be frozen. Only when the two cats hit the water with a splash, did he react. Making sure Demi was OK, he prepared to jump into the water, but Plato and Alonzo had already beaten him to it. He watched for a second, as the two strong toms swam towards where Tugger and Rumpel had landed, then he regained his senses, and leapt in after them, vaguely registering Demi's scream. He had an urge to turn back, but knew he had to help the others.
The second he and Rumpelteazer hit the water, Tugger had done his best to push her to the surface. As he vaguely saw her desperately paddle upwards, he felt the current pull at him, but before he could react, it had yanked him away. The underwater current bashed him about a bit, them BAM! He felt all the breath knocked out him, as he hit something solid, and very, very hard. For a second, he believed he was done for. Then, he felt himself being pulled clear of the torrent of water. Gasping for breath, he found himself looking up at Mistoffelees, Tumble B, Admetus and Victoria. He just had time to guess he was on the tyre, before the full impact actually hit him, and he fainted.
Did y'all enjoy? Huh? Did ya? Did ya, did ya, did ya! Hope so! Ch 3 coming soon!
