Part II. Implied sexual acts, implied incest and more violence.
Marisella was gone the whole previous night and most of the day. Around noon she stumbled back home, the stench of another tom was prominent on her fur. When she entered the den the drugs in her system made her head twitched and it didn't go unnoticed by her brother.
She looked up when she entered and found him sitting there as if he was all high and mighty. She frowned. And turned her nose up haughtily as she passed by to her own cot. His sickly yellow eyes watching her as she went. When she sat with her back to him she lounged on her side.
He sneered, "How could any tom find you attractive enough to sleep you with a face like that?" Her fur began to bristle at the sensitive subject of her face. "Must have been blind, and stupid. What drugs are you on now you crack whore?" His voice was hostile.
She merely turned her head to the side, "Why? Want some of this?" She turned over on her back and arched her body seductively.
He huffed and stood up, his hackles raised and his eyes were ablaze. "That's sick Marisella!"
She grinned, "You know you want to. It's not like any other queen would love you so come to me young one. I'll make you a tom."
Disgusted he stormed out and it became his turn to go to the allies. He shook his head and knew that the drugs had to be pushing her mind over the edge.
"She offered to mate with her own brother for Bast's sake!" He thought to himself. He nearly gagged and kept walking.
It was dusk when he returned back, sober and still a virgin. He had brushed her words off his shoulder with some difficulty and wanted to rest.
When he walked in he found Demeter sitting on Marisella's lap. The ginger queen was healing the queen kit's wounds from Macavity's beating earlier. She looked up at her brother and her eyes darkened. "Why would you do such a thing to my baby?" She asked with a growl to her voice. "She's mine Macavity and you can't touch her."
He glared at her, "Demeter is as stupid as a pollicle. Besides she's the one who helped make me a tom if you get me. . ." He rubbed the inside of his leg in a way that implied he did more than beat her. Marisella's eyes widened and he grinned, he rubbed his tongue against the inside of his cheek in mock fellatio. He chuckled as Marisella's eyes lit up in fury.
She held Demeter tighter and the young queen began to cry as she defended herself. "I never did that!" She cried. 'Marisella I never did. . .he's lying!"
He turned on her, "Shut up pollicle bitch! You know you want to!"
Marisella moved slowly and carefully as she stood up and set Demeter on the cot. She brushed the kit's head fur and kissed her forehead, then looked into her eyes kindly.
"I know you didn't sweetie. I know he's lying." She stood up and turned to face her brother, "He's a liar by nature. He especially lies when he says he wasn't the reason our parents left." She took deliberate steps towards him, his look was one of rising anger. "They saw his future and saw that he would become a sick pervert who liked little queens. They saw how he would drag me down and they left their only kits." She came to a stop in front of him and looked down her nose at him. "After all, everything bad that has ever happened to us is because of this weak magic caster."
Macavity yowled and jumped on his sister, taking her throat in his claws. She laughed and he growled as they fell to the ground.
He took one claw away and held it poised to strike her. "Teach me more." He growled, "Teach me or I'll kill you. Do you understand me Marisella? I want to know everything you do and more."
"I control ye Macavity," she said, her accent coming back. "I will always control ye, and I'll die befar I teach ye anything mar than what tis sanctioned by meh."
"Then you'll die," he said between gritted fangs.
He was blasted away from her in a burst of blue and smacked against the ceiling. Marisella floated upwards to her hind paws and looked at him on the ground. "I don't tink so Macky. Yew will always be weaker dan I. Besides I be yer onlay sister, ye could neva kill meh. But don't tink I won't kill yew."
She turned and smiled at Demeter but was flung forward violently as a burst of magic from Macavity hit her square in the back. Demeter gasped and trembled as Marisella began laughing and stood back up. Her lip was bleeding and she wiped it away, smearing it across her lip even more.
Macavity growled.
Magic glowed through her viens and could be seen through her skin and fur. She grinned at her brother, "So yew die then."
She launched her self at him and her claws glowed in blue magic, but the magic became black on the inside with dark blue on the edges creating a type of magic Macavity had never seen. He was taken by surprise at first by her new magic and ferocity but held his own with his magic and fought her back. They bit and tore, burned and clawed, at each other, worse than the other times they had fought. Their magic cast shadows on the wall and Demeter watched in horror as their ginger coats became slick and dark with blood. Suddenly Marisella snarled and yelled as she hit him with a bolt that sent him flying out of the den. She took in deep labored breaths as she watched him tumble out of the den and lay still.
She dropped her arms and closed her eyes while she concentrated on her breathing. It was then that Demeter pointed at her.
"Mari," she whispered, "You're bleeding."
Marisella opened her eyes and looked down to find a large gash in her side. She put her claws to it and they came away covered in her blood.
"Well would ye look at tat! I am bleedin." She laughed but the sound was high pitched and wiry. She closed her eyes again and leaned against the wall. "Iw'll be fine, just need to-"
"Look out!" Demeter screamed.
Marisella opened her eyes and gave her a confused look before another body slammed into her own, a shoulder jabbing into her injured side. She yowled and rolled onto her back with Macavity hovering over her. He snarled and her eyes widened when she saw that his were acid yellow instead of the soft sunny color that they had been before. She frowned and blasted him again in the stomach with a burst of energy but he grabbed her shoulders and sank his claws in, anchoring himself down. His claws ripped through her muscle as he was shaken by the magic.
He grunted and his fur was badly burned but he hung on. Marisella growled. "Tha' should have ended yew!"
He looked back with deadly seriousness, "One thing you taught me Marisella was will power. Where there is a will there is a way and I have the will to kill you!"
He suddenly lashed out at her arm and sliced it from her wrist to her the crease of her elbow. She yelped but he held her arm firmly to the ground while blood poured endlessly from her slashed wrist. She beat against him with her good arm but knew that even if she could kill him now that her slashed arm would be the end of her. She looked into his eyes and knew that this is what Tantomile seen in her vision of the ginger queen's death. Macavity raised his paw.
"You're a monster little brother. A monster of-"
She never finished what she wanted to say. His claws glowed white as if they were burning hot and he viciously raked them across her throat, ripping her jugular vein wide open. The force of the death blow splattered her blood on the wall and her brother's face. Demeter stared in speechless horror as blood also splattered across her own face. More blood than was normal came from the ginger cat's wound and she gaped like a dying fish as she choked on her own blood. She watched her brother as the life ebbed from her wound, blood quickly gathered in a pool that was spreading around her entire form.
"Demeter," she said through her thoughts. The gold kit stammered in disbelief. "I loved you as my own." Marisella's mind voice was normal. "As I love you now my queen child."
She finally closed her mouth but blood still flowed from the corners of her lips. "Macavity?" Her mind voice said to him. "I'm so proud of you brother." She grinned with blood smothering her mouth. She choked and hacked, blood landed on Macavity's already drenched face.
He placed his claws on her head and in a sharp turn he broke her neck, silencing her voice forever. Despite her death there was a faint smile on her lips as she died, the loud crack from her broken neck faded into the darkness. Macavity stood up, his breaths coming in ragged pants. Out of the silence there came am eerie echoing sound and without warning Macavity was gripped by the blue magic that now emanated out of his sister's body. It grabbed Macavity and slowly trailed into his eyes, nose and mouth. He gasped when the magic engulfed him and with a whoosh he was flung backwards onto his back.
He stood up and flexed his claws, he felt stronger, his mind was cleaer. It was as if he now knew everything he had ever wanted to. He looked up at Demeter and chuckled.
"I'll give you a full day's head start. If you and your friends don't make it back to the Yard before that. . .well then. I guess I'll show you just what I can do to you. And you better hope I never get ahold of you or your tribe's future queens." He smirked and laughed darkly as he suddenly vanished in a shower of blue sparks.
If it wasn't for the distant voice of Coricopat calling to her, Demeter might have been stuck in the fetal position for the rest of her life. She felt compelled to move and when she did she ran and didn't stop until Coricopat was holding her. After he managed to get his sister out of the hole he dragged her to the den. When he looked in he gasped, there was Marisella. She was laying on the ground with her throat literally ripped out, nothing but a gaping hole remaining. Her head bent far to the right, her disfiguring scars were pale in the now rising moonlight. He looked at Demeter and held her tight, promsing her that they would be home soon. After which he picked up his semi-concious sister and began limping out away from that horrible place.
Just as they cleared the hill and set foot on pavement there was a rumbling sound and when Coricopat and Demeter looked back they saw the whole mound that used to be the ginger cats' den cave in on itself. Tantmile could see it through her brother's mind eye and was relieved that the book that was hidden under the den would stay hidden for at least the rest of her lifetime. She thanked Everylasting Cat that Macavity had no knowledge of his sister's hidden book, if that tom got his paws on it theres no telling what would have happened.
"Yes there is," Coricopat said through their thoughts. "He would have killed us all. At least now he can only learn what he can teach himself."
When they were found not far from their home Munkustrap lifted Demeter into his arms and held her close, he cried and she nuzzled him. Jr supported Coricopat and Skimblehsanks picked up Tantomile, before they left the scene of reunion Demeter looked over Munkustrap's shoulders and saw Macavity from the shadows of the alley. He grinned wickedly and put a claw to his lips, a motion to remind her to keep quiet about him hurting her. Her ears pressed back against her skull and she whimpered as he disappeared. . .
