A/N: I'm sorry this has taken so long to update… I get real busy sometimes, and other than that, I get major writer's block. However, because of the fact that I have no plans today, and this is the last chapter in the story, I'll do my best to write Macavity's Viewpoint.
Viewpoint: Macavity
'Today is the day. Today, I take my revenge on those ignorant Jellicles. Today, I get my Demeter back,' I thought to myself as I paced through my room. I looked at the walls, seeing the holes there from the day Demeter told me she was expecting. 'I'm sorry, Dems. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just lost my temper…' I sighed. Apologizing in my head wasn't going to work. A knock sounded on my door.
"Yes?" I asked.
"It's Exotica…" my spy's voice said from the other side of the door.
"Ah, do come in," I replied.
"All the preparations have been made, sir. Once the Jellicle Ball has begun, your plan can be set into motion," the young Queen reported.
"Excellent. You should go back and get ready. Can't show up to the Ball looking like that," I laughed. Exotica wasn't like my henchcats. She had a brain, and a sense of humor.
"Yes, sir," she replied, slinking out of the door. I continued my pacing. It was only a matter of hours now…
'The time is here. Time to go.' I acted upon this thought and teleported to the old building I had scouted out in which to hide. "Men, this is the day we've been preparing for. We've trained years for this. Go, now, and do what you've been practicing!" I yelled in an attempt to pep-talk them. They all slunk out, stealthily, just as expected. I slunk out after them, taking my position.
When the time came, I laughed like I hadn't laughed in years. 'Since Demeter left…' I thought, ironically. I shook my head. Now wasn't the time for such thoughts.
"MACAVITY!" Demeter's frightened voice shrieked. My heart lurched. 'She remembers me!' I shook my head again to clear the pesky thoughts away.
I watched as Exotica opened the gate and let the henchcats in. 'Yes, everything's going according to plan…' I ran back to the warehouse to wait for Deuteronomy. When they brought him in, I struck up a conversation. 'Just like old times…'
"We'll be hiding out here for the time being," I said to the elder tom.
"Why am I here, Macavity?" he asked me, almost harshly.
"I didn't want you to get hurt. I'm taking my revenge on the Junkyard, now. You were the only cat who ever showed me kindness and understanding," I replied to him, truthfully.
"I don't understand. Most of the cats who took part in making fun of you are older now. Why do you look as if you were a young adult?" he asked.
"You see, these powers I have, they don't allow my body to age. I grew to about the age of your older son, Munkustrap, and stopped growing and aging all together. It's rather nice, I'd say," I responded. I couldn't speak cruelly to him. The tom practically raised me, and never showed me disrespect.
"How do you know about Munkustrap?" he asked, acting as if I sounded suspicious.
"I've been watching the Junkyard. I've been planning my attack for a long time. I won't harm your sons, if that's what you wish. However, there are two cats there that belong with me," I said, honestly.
"Who?" he asked, bewilderment evident in his voice.
"A lovely queen named Demeter, and her kitten. You see, Demeter used to work for me. She was also, in a sense, my mate. She told me she was expecting, and I blew up and sent her away. I want to apologize to her, and maybe bring my love and my prosperity home with me," I replied, subconsciously thinking of the beautiful black and gold queen I loved so much.
"I don't know if Demeter will accept your apology, Macavity. And even if she does, she might not return to you," he replied.
"And why is that?" I asked, curious as to why she wouldn't at least give me another chance.
"Well, you see, she and Munkustrap have been flirting with each other for a while now, and I think my son is considering asking her to be his mate sometime soon," he explained.
"WHAT?!" I asked, going on a rampage. "How could she do this? She's supposed to love me! Augh!" 'How could I not have noticed?! Ugh I'm so blind! Forget everyone else, I want my Demeter back!' I thought as I shoved gusts of air at all sides of the building.
"Macavity, I understand that you love her, but sometimes you've just got to move on. You didn't expect her to stay alone forever, just hoping and praying that you'd take her back after you sent her off, did you?" he asked, almost sounding like he was trying to comfort me.
"Just shut up! If she won't come back to me on her own, I'll just take her!" I screamed. I teleported out of the room and ran to position, donning a disguise in the form of the Jellicle Leader. Exotica got up and laughed, looking and sounding just like me. 'Dang, she's good!' I mused, trying to get ready for attack. She gestured to my position, and my henchcats led me into the center of the clearing before slinking off back to the warehouse. 'Now for some fun,' I thought. All of the cats ran up to me and started licking me and nuzzling me, except one. 'Demeter…' Suddenly, all the cats around me scampered off. I looked to see Demeter running toward the silver and black tabby Munkustrap. I clamped my eyes shut, imagining it was me instead. I soon felt a weight on my back and spun to get it off. It flew off alright, along with my disguise.
"MACAVITY!" Demeter wasn't the only one screaming now. 'Well, there goes that. I can still take Dems though…' For once, I didn't shake the thought of her. I lunged at her, grabbing her forepaws.
"I missed you, Demeter," I said, just loud enough for her to hear. She shuddered a bit, but kept fighting to get away. I felt her being tugged in the other direction and I looked up to see none other than Munkustrap, fighting me for my love. I pulled harder, as did he. A black and white tom lifted her away from our grasps, and I tried to pursue, only to be stopped by the annoying son of Deuteronomy. We glared at each other. I was seething that he took my Demeter away from me. He was probably fuming about the same thing.
I lashed out, catching his face. He swiped, catching mine. We began to circle one another, eyes full of hatred. We lunged and attacked. I jumped on the other tom's back, trying to choke him. He threw me off with ease. 'This should be interesting,' I thought as he jumped to land directly in front of my head. I stood, and he jumped at me. I stopped him and shoved him to the ground. I ran over, stomping on him, ready to finish this fight. When the other stood, I lashed at his face again, claws slicing skin. He approached, and we began to rip at each other, blood and fur flying. I threw him back to the ground, victoriously.
The black and white tom stepped up to the challenge. He got one good hit and knocked me to the ground. I got up and caught him on my back as he tried to tackle me, and I threw him to the ground again. The tribe encircled me, each hissing and slashing. I backed away, out of their reach. I looked for Demeter, catching her eyes. "I'll be back for you, Dems," I mouthed to her before grabbing two power lines and shoving them together, causing a blackout for my escape.
I ran out of the Junkyard and stopped to catch my breath. "Till next we meet, Exotica," I said telepathically to my best spy.
"I look forward to it," she replied in the same manner. I continued my run to the warehouse where Deuteronomy was held.
"Henchcats, let's go. We've failed," I panted. "Deuteronomy, I'm sorry for what I've done to your Tribe and your family. I hope it's in your hearts to forgive me, somewhere down the line. Goodbye," I said to the tom. I teleported out of the warehouse and back to my quarters. 'Honestly, I hope he does forgive me. I hope Demeter forgives me. The rest, especially Skimbleshanks and Munkustrap, can burn in the fiery pits of Hell.' I smiled at that thought and began to laugh, more maniacally sinister than ever before. I laughed and laughed, sinking into the true depths of psychosis. My love was gone, my efforts for revenge fruitless, my resolve broke and my thought process cracked. I continued to cackle, the sound growing ever darker. I don't know how long I kept at it, until a knock on my door broke me out of my state of hollowness. "What?!" I demanded.
"Mac…" a small voice sounded.
"Demeter," I replied, stunned.
Fin.
