Plato walked along the path, glancing around as he tried to find some mice. He gave a cry as something landed on his back, making him fall to his chest on the ground.

"Hello, Plato," Plato froze, scared, as Macavity's voice drawled by his ear. Plato began struggling, crying out.

"Nah uh," Macavity said, shoving Plato harshly back against the ground.

"You're going to pay, buddy boy," Macavity laughed darkly. "For hurting Munkustrap, for keeping him from me…oh, and recently, for dislocating Coricopat's arm and hurting him," Plato let out a scared whimper as he felt Macavity's claws against his shoulder. Macavity just laughed darkly.

Cori sat outside, his sister sitting next to him, staring at him worriedly. Cori was staring blankly at his paws, his green eyes void of emotion, his face blank. Tantomile looked at Admetus. He took her paw gently, giving it a small squeeze as her worried face stared at him. Tantomile gently put her paw on Cori's shoulder, he flinched at her touch.

"Sweetie," She whispered, gently drawing her twin into her arms. Cori was frail and stiff against her.

"Cori, it's okay…it'll be okay!" She whispered in his ear. "Please…just snap out of it!" Cori just blinked, remaining quiet.

"Whoa…check out Plato," Tantomile looked up, her eyes widening before narrowing angrily as she watched a bloodied Plato drag himself back into the clearing, before collapsing. She was a little surprised to see Jelly and Asparagus run over to Plato while Jenny and Skimble just stared coldly at the red-tom, taking their time getting over there.

"What happened?" They heard Jelly screech.

"M-Macavity!" A smug smile came over Tantomile's face as they heard Plato's croaky reply.

"He deserved it," She hissed, she looked down at Cori, who was still in her arms. He still hadn't said a thing, and his eyes were closed.

"Cori," Tantomile whispered, rubbing the side of his head.

Cori, please…don't do this to me…

I'm sorry, Tants, came the weak reply. Tantomile nuzzled at his head.

Don't give up on me…please, Cori, please.

I won't…

Tantomile sighed, gently rubbing his ears.

Munkustrap looked up when he heard the door open. His eyes widened and he leapt to his feet, running to Macavity's side, grabbing his paws when he saw Macavity covered in blood.

"Maccy…w-what happened?"

"It's not my blood," Macavity said, his eyes glinting strangely.

"Mac?"

"I…I ran into Plato," Macavity said slowly, looking at Munkustrap, waiting for him to react. Munkustrap just stared at him.

"I hurt him…a lot," Macavity told Munkustrap. Munkustrap looked down at Macavity's paws, which were grasped firmly in his.

"Why?" Munkustrap asked softly.

"Because he hurt you, gorgeous, he helped keep you away from me…and he's hurt Coricopat as well," Macavity watched as Munkustrap's head whipped up.

"What?" Munkustrap asked sharply. "What happened to Coricopat?"

"Plato dislocated his arm and then attacked him in the infirmary," Macavity said softly, pulling the fuming Tom into his arms.

"I hope you hurt him badly," Macavity stared surprised at his normally peaceful love. Macavity nuzzled at Munkustrap's neck.

"It's alright, my love," Macavity murmured. "I doubt he'll be hurting anyone any time soon…I may have broken his leg and one of his arms…" Munkustrap looked up at Macavity.

"…and his tail,"

Munkustrap rested his head back against Macavity's shoulder. Macavity hummed slightly to Munkustrap before he pulled away. Munkustrap looked at him. Macavity gave a sheepish smile.

"I'm covered in blood." Macavity said. Munkustrap nodded and pulled Macavity over to the mattress, sitting him down before working on grooming the blood from Macavity's fur. Macavity leaned back into Munkustrap's arms once Munkustrap had finished grooming. Macavity looked back at Munkustrap.

"Let's sleep," Macavity murmured, rubbing Munkustrap's leg. Munkustrap nodded. They shifted onto the mattress, Munkustrap curling up into Macavity's arms, burying his head into Macavity's chest.

"You're adorable," Munkustrap looked up at Macavity, his eyes questioning. Macavity just smiled, rubbing Munkustrap's side.

"How did I end up with you?" Macavity murmured. "How did I get so lucky?" Munkustrap smiled, wrapping his arms around Macavity's neck, gently rubbing the back of his neck.

"I think the question is how I was lucky enough to get you?" Munkustrap said softly. Macavity gave a gentle lick to Munkustrap's cheek.

"After every thing I had to go through…I got you," Munkustrap smiled. "I guess the Everlasting Cat thought I deserved something good in my life," Macavity purred deeply, nuzzling against Munkustrap's head lovingly.

"I love you so much, Munkus…and I meant it when I said I want you to be my family all that time ago," Macavity whispered. Munkustrap's baby blue eyes widened.

"Be my mate, Munkus…please, will you be my mate?" Macavity asked, staring straight at him.

"Yes!" Munkustrap breathed, hugging Macavity tightly. Macavity laughed softly.

"Brilliant," Macavity breathed, happy.

"I love you,"

"I love you too, Maccy," Munkustrap purred, nuzzling him. Macavity kissed him.

"Go to sleep, gorgeous," Macavity chuckled. A grinning Munkustrap nodded, snuggling up closer and closing his eyes.

He remembered when Macavity had told him that he was his family, no matter what…that he loved him that much.

"Mac, where are we going?" Munkustrap laughed as Macavity pulled him from the town, gripping onto Munkustrap's paw as they ran out of town.

"I…I found somewhere that I want you to see!" Macavity said, grinning at Munkustrap as they continued running.

"N-Nice distraction by the way," Munkustrap panted, as he ran alongside Macavity. Macavity just laughed.

"Appearing in the yard and making me chase after you…brilliant," Munkustrap laughed.

"Do you think it'll work?"

"Definitely," Munkustrap grinned. "They know I'll try and 'hunt' you down for hours," Macavity gave a burst of laughter, looking at his love for the past 6 months. Macavity slowed down once they reached their destination. Munkustrap looked around at the trees as they moved deeper into the 'woods'. Macavity led Munkustrap to a clearing, which was surrounded in different flowers. Munkustrap looked up, the canopy of trees was blocking the sun, but it was letting some rays of sun in, lighting up the clearing quite nicely.

"Wow…Mac, this place is…wow," Munkustrap was speechless. The place was beautiful.

"I found it a few weeks ago," Macavity said, walking around Munkustrap. Munkustrap smiled, looking around at the different flowers…he liked flowers, not a lot of Toms did.

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

Munkustrap swung around as the verse of the song washed over him. He looked at Macavity, who was slowly walking towards him. Munkustrap was shocked, he hadn't heard Macavity sing for the longest of times.

A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace

Munkustrap smiled as Macavity took his paws, before they both looked around at the clearing, untouched by man.

Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

Macavity smiled, putting his paw on Munkustrap's chest, feeling Munkustrap's heart beat. Munkustrap mirrored the action, placing his paw on Macavity's white chest, feeling Macavity's heart beat hitch slightly. Munkustrap gave a laugh.

Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace

Macavity suddenly smiled, turning Munkustrap around and pointing. Munkustrap followed his gaze and smiled. There were two birds sitting on a low branch of a tree, sitting side by side and nuzzling in a way.

Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here

Macavity wrapped his arms around Munkustrap's waist and he nuzzled Munkustrap's neck. Munkustrap closed his eyes, leaning back into Macavity's embrace.

No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope

Munkustrap blinked, suddenly thinking of Grizabella…Macavity seemed to know what he was thinking.

"She loved you, she always did," Macavity whispered. "She told me herself after she left the yard…she hated to leave you there, but she knew it was for the best," Munkustrap gave a smile, and Macavity rubbed his back.

Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

Macavity stopped singing, pulling Munkustrap around and closer. Munkustrap looked at him.

"Did I do okay?" Macavity asked. "I haven't sung in a while…since I got exiled,"

"You did brilliantly, darling," Munkustrap said, kissing him. Macavity smiled and they curled up on the grassy floor, staying in their safe haven for a few hours, in each other's arms.

Munkustrap opened his eyes, looking at Macavity. Macavity was asleep, his eyes closed, his face peaceful, his mouth slightly open as he slept deeply. Munkustrap smiled, snuggling closer, closing his eyes.

He was happy…for once in his life.

Song is Two Worlds by Phil Collins…sorry, I was in a Disney mood…

It's sad, today we all found out how young lives could be taken away by speeding…and it happened near to where I live…

I probably won't update tomorrow, I'm seeing the Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, yay!
