Chapter 7- New Introductions

A pair of green eyes pierced through the darkness. They held no emotion. They were empty.

Lurina paced nervously around the cell. Macavity had called on her for the first time that day. She didn't know how long she had been there. She couldn't see outside. It was just artificial light. Shivering she rubbed her front paws together. The previous night Griddlebone had come into her room and told her Macavity wished to speak to her the following day.

The confrontation had been odd to say the least. But no matter what he had said Lurina's thoughts weren't eased and she knew something was brewing in the forecoming weeks.

Now she had been left in the room by herself for heaviside knows how long and she was getting very nervous. Griddlebone hadn't been in since she had told her about Macavity.

A sound from outside the door got Lurina's attention and she stood still her ears piqued for a hint as to who it was. The door was opened slowly and Tilli was placed on the ground gently.

Lurina glanced over at the young queen who had quickly become her friend. She didn't know exactly what had happened to Tilli but she knew roughly what had. Padding over to the young white queen Tilli gently pulled her into a hug and brushed her fluffy white fur back from her face.

'Are you alright?' Lurina asked gently.

Tilli looked up with her piercing blue eyes that held unshed tears, she shook her head and sobbed gently. Lurina glanced at her in alarm.

'What's the matter? What's going on?' She asked panicked. Tilli fiddled with her paws.

'I overheard Macavity, he's planning an attack on the junkyard soon, your junkyard. He plans to kill everyone.' She said wiping the tears from her eyes.

Lurina's eyes widened in shock and she stuttered. 'Wh-Why?' She asked shocked.

Tilli shook her head, 'Because he's Macavity and he does what he wants.' She said simply as she padded gingerly to her small cusion.

Lurina followed her and both queen kits layed down and rested their heads on their paws sighing gently. A loud scream echoed throughout the halls which made the girls shiver. Lurina glanced at Tilli.

'Tilli, who was that? That wasn't your mum? Was it? I haven't seen her for a long time.' She said worried.

Tilli shook her head, 'Macavity doesn't do that to her much, he has lots of other queens who he hurts a lot. There's about 30 in total but only 1 or 2 who he uses the most. I've never met them but my mother said that they don't deserve to be treated the way they do. It's so awful.' She said shaking her head.

The cell door slipped open and both the kittens turned to see Griddlebone step carefully into the dark cell. Both girls glanced up at her as she held a tiny bundle of fur in her paws. Their heads opped up at the figure.

Tilli stood up, 'Mum, what is that?' She asked as she limped over to Griddlebone.

Griddlebone walked into the only part of the cell that had some light and both queen kits saw that the rolled up figure was a tiny female kitten only a few months old at the most.

Tilli peeked her head over to glance at the figure, 'Mum, who is that?' She asked as the little kitten stared up with tiny turquoise eyes.

Griddlebone stroked the small kitten under the chin and she let out a little muffled purr as she gently placed her on the cusion.

'This is Amber, she's the daughter of one of my friend's. She is staying here for a few days while her mother is getting better.' Griddlebone said as Lurina and Tilli both glanced at the kitten.

The little queen was a tortoiseshell calico. She had a mixed coat of red-brown, orange and cream fur with a tiny off center white bib and a mess of black tabby markings across her body. She also had a small aqua coloured collar around her neck. Both queen kits stared at the slightly fluffy kitten who was staring at them with frightened but defiant eyes.

In the junkyard everyone was on high alert. Henchcat and henchrat activity was becoming more and more frequent. Demeter had nearly gone into catatonic shock when Sillabub, Jemima and Olivia came back from scouting out underground clubs.

They had discovered and informed the tirbe of the plans for the attack on the junkyard. All the Jellicles were on a high alert as the weeks had passed. It had been two weeks since Lurina ahd been taken by the Napoleon of Crime himself, the same fiend who had brutally murdered their Scarlet queen years ago.

Bombalurina's birthday had been celebrated in sadness. Jennyanydots was sad for the fact that Demeter's new kittens all shared the same birthday as their deceased Aunt and their birthday also brought sadness. Jenny had become more and more worried about Demeter. She had grown painfully thin and was struggling to feed her new kittens who had recently been introduced to the tirbe for the first time.

The appearance of the oldest kitten had shocked many of the tribe members and many agreed it had to be Bombalurina re-born. But unable to give her the name that she was previously assosciated with Munkustrap had named the kitten Lorianna as Demeter couldn't look at the kitten, though slowly she was adjusting to the sight of her oldest.

The second oldest gold and black tom kitten had been named Tema and the silver and black queen had been named Metea. Finally the two identical gold and silver toms had been affectionately named Demetrius and Aston.

Each kitten had developed a distinct personality. The two twins seemed to be more like double copies of Mungojerry rather than their own parents while the older tom was adventurous but also loved to spend time with his parents. The silver queen was very quiet and reserved and spent a lot of her time with her father. She was by far the smallest of the litter since her older sister had quickly doubled her size in the couple of weeks she had been alive.

Finally Lorianna. Lorianna had quickly grown to a normal size and her personality matched. She was independant and fiercly protective of her siblings. The cats had no doubt that this young queen was the spitting image and personality of Bombalurina. Espescially to those who knew Bombalurina in her younger years.

The kittens spent most of their days playing with each other and having fun under the watchful eyes of their parents. But with the recent threat of activity form Macavity they were starting to be kept closer to the other cats and preferably out of harms way.

Munkustrap had to do what ever it took to keep the junkyard safe from a Macavity attack. Even if it meant sending the fiends own daughters out to gather information.

Jemima and Sillabub, under the guidence of Olivia had been scouting out underground haunts for the last two weeks and continued providing information to Munkustrap to help him prepare a plan of protection for the tribe should Macavity attack.

But what they had just recently found out would throw the junkyard into chaos. it was only a matter of time.
