"Daddy! Look at this!" a little Jemima said, showing Munkustrap a dead butterfly on her paw. Tears were appearing on her eyes. "Jemima, what happened to the butterfly?" Munkustrap asked. Jemima started to cry loudly.
"It….it…. was… crushed by a twig…. I didn't get to save it." Jemima said, crying as Munkustrap carried her to his lap. "Don't worry. It was it's time now. Everyone has their time to die. And I'm sure the butterfly is in a better place now" Munkustrap said, comforting the baby Jemima.
Jemima looked at him with watery eyes. Munkustrap smiled as he tickled her, making Jemima giggle. "And you Jemima, you're my butterfly. And I won't let anything happen to you" he said as Jemima smiled. Munkustrap wiped her tears.
"Daddy, I don't want to get a mate" Jemima said with innocent eyes. "Why not?" Munkustrap asked, surprised by her sudden statement. "Because when I get a mate. I won't have any time to spend time with you. You'll always be my best friend"
This made Munkustrap smile. "You'll always be my best friend too" he said as he kissed her on the forehead.
Jemima opened her eyes. She had that dream that she didn't know why she had that. She realized she was in a dark room. She couldn't see anything at all, only pure blackness.
She tried to stand up, but her legs were still weak that she tripped and landed on her knees. "Ouch" she said as she looked around. She saw a pair of eyes, staring at her. She suddenly felt scared.
"Who's there?" she said, trying to sound like she's not scared. There was no reply. "Answer me!" Jemima said impatiently. Again, no reply. Jemima stood up as she took a step back.
"ANSWER ME!" She yelled angrily. Then there was light. But the light came from the moon. She looked at the light and realized that someone has opened the curtains. Jemima's heart started to beat fast as she looked around.
She realized that she was in a dirty and dusty room, filled with used canned goods and messy pillows. She turned her head to the right and saw a smirking Macavity.
"Macavity!" Jemima said, alert. She immediately ran for it when Macavity grabbed her paw. "You're not going anywhere Jemima" he said, smirking. Jemima tried to struggle from his firm grip. "Let me go!" she said, trying to push him off, but he was too strong.
"Ah, tough. Just like her father" he said as Jemima glared at him. "You don't even know much about my father! You almost killed him in your battle!" Jemima said angrily, struggling. Macavity shook his head.
"Of course I know you're father. I am your father" he said. Jemima's eyes widened as she looked at him, surprised. He's her father? But that's impossible! Then again, they do have similar fur color. Yet, it's hard to believe! "You're lying! Let go of me!" she said, struggling as best as she could.
"Oh, I'm not lying. You have to believe me. Since your mother, Demeter, was my mate" he said as he smirked at her reaction. "No. It can't be that…" Jemima couldn't find the right words to say it. "I was a Jellicle once. That's correct" he said as he pulled her to a dusty pillow.
Jemima landed on the pillow rather hard as she groaned with pain. "And, it is unfair for not having time with my own daughter." He said, smirking as Jemima looked at him with fear in her eyes….

(Tantomile stayed behind to look after Deuteronomy.)
Group 1:
Demeter looked cautiously around. It was dark and they were walking along the dark forest. She thought about her daughter, Jemima, being trained as an evil cat like Macavity. She shivered at the thought. She felt a paw lay on her shoulder as she turned around and saw Munkustrap, looking at her, worried.
"Don't worry, we'll find her" he said as Demeter nodded. Munkustrap held her hand as they walked through the forest.
"Can you sense anything Misto?" Victoria asked, walking closer to Plato and Misto, scared at the noises that the forest made. Misto shrugged. "Not yet." He said as Plato sighed.
Group 2:
"I spy something green" Rumpleteazer said. She and Mungojerrie were playing I spy since she was bored. Mungojerrie didn't have the feeling playing I spy right now since he was really worried about Jemima. He just rolled his eyes.
"C'mon! I spy something green!" Rumpleteazer said, nudging his arm.
"Tree!" he said, annoyed as Rumpleteazer looked at him, surprised. "Whoa! You can read my mind!" she said, acting surprised.
"Will you two be quiet" Skimbleshanks said as he sniffed the air. He can finally smell Jemima's scent. He sniffed the floor and realized the smell. Macavity must have run past here! He looked at the two kittens.
"Mungojerrie, how did you read my mind?! Wait a minute, you're Misto! Trying to look like Mungo!" she said, pointing at him. Mungo just looked annoyed.
"I can smell Jemima and Macavity's scent here" Skimbleshanks announced as they looked at Skimbleshanks. "Which way did they go?" Jennyanydots said as she stepped forward towards Skimbleshanks, making a crunchy noise as she stepped on the leaves.
"They went this way" he said, pointing straight.
Group 3:
"Ok Etcy, I think you're hugging me for too long now" Tugger said as Etcy shook her head.
"No! I'm scared Tuggy!" she said, giving him a nickname as she hugged him tighter. "Etcy, Tugger can't breathe now" Bombalurina said as Etcy let go, giggling.
Jellylorum sighed as she placed herbs on Electra's wound. Electra tripped a while ago and a sharp rock slit her arm, making her groan with pain.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Electra said angrily, pulling her arm away from Jellylorum. "This is the only way to cure that!" Jellylorum said impatiently, annoyed that Electra kept pulling her arm from her a million times.
"That cures? No it doesn't! It makes it worse!" she said, struggling. "Will you stop complaining Electra?" Asparagus said, also annoyed. Electra grunted as she stopped struggling.
