Sorry for the late chapter. i might post a FEW in a row now cuz i am in a habit of being up every night all night. Havent slept for the past two nights now. lolz. again please leave a review. it really helps. Just let me know how many are actually still following my story. idk how to do this part.. so it might be a little jumbled. Bare with me.
Surprisingly the next night around 1 AM Rumpleteazer spotted someone sneaking along the cell walls in the darkness. She peered slightly around the corner of her own cell and saw Alice creepily quietly but hastily to every cell, peering into each cell then rushing to the next.
Rumpleteazer smiled. She had been giving Alice private lessons on sneaking silently but fast and Alice accelerated in it. Rumpleteazer leaned her head out and whispered ever so softly "Alice. ovah Here"
Alice jumped and quicky turned around, then rushed over to Alices cell. She swung her tail out infront of her and grabbed a ring of 3 keys that had been hanging on it silently. Rumpleteazer looked at them curiously and Alice quietly explained as she tried to see which key fit the lock "Macavity is... busy.. with a queen tonight and i was able to sneak into his office unseen and steal some keys."
With a small click the luck was undone and the door swung open. Alice grabbed teazers paw and tried to get them to run towards an exit but Teazer didnt go. She instead snatched the keys from Alice and ran to the cell across from her.
She unlocked it and opened the door, whispering softly into the cell as to not scare the queen who she had seen get beaten by Macavity very recently one night, but she had lost count which night it was because of the lack of sunlight and her own beatings.
Rumpleteazer saw Demeter get up and nod to Rumpleteazer, a wide grin on her face. Rumpleteazer grabbed her and Alices hands to go but Demeter pulled away "I have to find my sister and get her out of here to." Rumpleteazer nodded, understanding, and her and Alice raced quietly down the halls.
They knew Macavity would notice soon and then they heard footsteps racing towards them. They began taking all sorts of turns and twists to get away from it, but when they turned down a new hall, it was infront of them coming towards them. Soon they were caught but Rumpleteazer knew the scent. She turned to see Mungojerrie looking around and panting slightly.
"Whot are ya doin here?" She asked looking around also, as was Alice. "Ya don' think oim gonna let moi future mate leave without moi?" He gave her a small smile and placed the promise ring in her hand. They then heard Macavity yell "FIND THEM NOW YOU IDIOTS!"
They didnt even speak before taking off running out of the entrance. It was now a race for their lives. Mungojerrie led the way down an alley but was tackled by a henchcat. He punched it in the face and they ran down a different alley way.
But it was no use. Everywhere they turned there was a new henchcat waiting to attack them. Rumpleteazer then got an idea. She smiled and told Mungojerrie and Alice directions to a certain alley she was going to meet them at. Mungojerrie did not want to leave the pregnant Teazer by herself, nor did Alice, but Teazer ran off too fast for them to stop her. They sat behind a trash can as Rumpleteazer ran up silently behind a henchcat. She poked him on the left shoulder and as he turned to the left she went to the right and hip bumped him then giggled. he pulled out a knife and started towards her. She stuck out her tongue at him and ran, him chasing her.
Alice and Mungojerrie did as they were told and ran to the alley way, taking all sorts of different winding paths. A few moments later Rumpleteazer sauntered up to them, smiling. She took off at a jog to the center of the alley, motioning for them to follow. She reached a large trash bin and went behind it. They heard her whisper a few things, then she pulled them in, just as a henchcat ran past, but didnt notice them in the bin.
They turned around to face an adult Pit Bull and began to get ready to attack. Just then Rumpleteazer jumped in front of them "NO!" They looked confused at her, then the Pit Bull smiled and licked Teazers cheek. "This is moi friend Delilah. Oi saved her from being killed when everyone wos killin' all the pollicles." She smiled at everyone and she put an arm around Delilah.
Everyone settled down. They felt safe now. Through the dark with their night vision, they found three different beds, (Dililah had memorized where everything once since she wasnt a cat) and they all went to sleep.
In the morning Mugojerrie woke up with his arms around Teazer. He smiled and looked down at her, then gasped. She had bruises all over her, especially on her thighs and shoulders and wrists. He felt his lower jaw start to shake as he realized what Macavity could have done to her.
Rumpleteazer then woke up and felt Mungojerrie shaking. She looked up at him with a worried glance "Whots wrong Jerrieh?" "You... What did he do?... did.. he..?" Rumpleteazer looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes "Yes." Mungojerrie only held Rumpleteazer closer. His fears were now being realized. Macavity and raped and beaten his future mate, his queen friend, the mother of his kit. Jerrie now hated Macavity even more.
They did not discuss this more as everyone woke up. They decided the should get some breakfast, so everyone went in different directions to look for food for everyone. Rumpleteazer was walking down an alley she knew good restaurants threw their food away when she heard a voice in the back of her head. "You didnt want me, but you wanted him. You lied to me, you got pregnant. You dont come back to me.. i will make your life miserable. That is a promise."
Rumpleteazer backed up against a wall with her eyes wide. It was Macavity's voice, she knew it by now. That cold, but full voice that lulled you in. She growled slightly in anger and yelled "NO! NEVAH!" She didnt hear anything for a few moments and her breathing slowly returned to normal. That is.. until she heard him say again. "As you wish." That was when Rumpleteazer heard a screech. It was a familiar voice. A familiar queens voice. Teazer said nothing more as she ran towards the voice, hearing only Macavity's laughter in the back of her head.
When Rumpleteazer was about to turn onto the alley she heard the screech from, Mungojerrie jumped out and grabbed her, keeping a hand on her mouth and arms by her side with his muscular ones. "Teazah" he whispered "Don'. He is only trying to bait you!" Teazer managed to look around the corner of the alley and saw Alice, a knife to her throat, being held by a tom who looked as though he was in a trance.
Teazer struggled to get free as Macavity said in her head "Now. Come save your friend Teazer. Be a good little girl. I will give you five seconds." Mungojerrie held her tight as she tried to squirm away.
"Five..." The tom held Alice tighter with the blade pressed to her neck.
"Four" Rumpleteazer threw herself about but was held in place by Jerrie.
"Three" The tom knelt Alice over and held her head fur, her hands seemed to be tied, so her neck was poking out slightly right next to the blade which was pressing against her throat, sending a few drops of blood falling to the ground.
"Two" Tears were streaming down Teazers face as she fell to the ground on her side, Mungojerrie now struggling to keep her where she was.
"One." Rumpleteazer screamed through Mungojerries hand as the tom drug the knife abruptly across Alices throat and dropping her to the ground. The tom then looked as though his neck had been snapped and dropped to the ground near Alice. Rumpleteazer then recognized it as the tom she was dating.
But she didnt care. She was kicking and screaming and crying and flailing all around to get Mungojerrie to release her, but he wouldnt. She could only watch her bestfriend, the only one she had ever really had as a girl bestfriend, die on the cold concrete of the alley.
It was hours before Rumpleteazer stopped struggling and Mungojerrie deamed it safe for them to go get Alice. Rumpleteazer could barely stand to look at the back queen as Jerrie picked her up bridal style and her neck went all the way back in a 90 degree angle, staring at Teazer. Teazer looked up at the gash on her throat. It was halfway through her throat. A very strong cut and sharp knife had to be used to do that.
She cried and held Alice's lifeless paw as they carried her back to the den to get Delilah. Delilah carried Alices body on her back while they walked to an old tree in Victoria Grove that was surrounded by sunflowers. Teazer remembered those were Alice's favorite flowers. Delilah dug a deep hole and they slowly lowerd Alice into it. Teazer then, without saying a word, sang a beautiful melody. The sun was just beginning to rise, so she had a good idea about the lyrics and what they would mean to her and her bestfriend.
"Daylight, See the dew on the Sunflower"
Teazer thought of Alice who was always happiness, (daylight) and saw the blood on her trickling down her black coat as she lie in the small hole (Dew)
"And a rose that is faded, roses wither away"
She thought of herself, the bad place she was in, (faded rose) and she saw what had happened to Demeter and didnt want to 'wither away' from sadness.
"like the Sunflower, I yearn to turn my face to the dawn"
Wishing she could be like Alice and see the bright side in everything.
"I am waiting, for the daaaaaay"
She awates the day she will see her friend or be like her, always looking on the bright side. She thinks she sang it for both reasons.
When she finished singing, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks, they all helped to burry her. Rumpleteazer found a near by stone and placed it near the tree where she knew Alices head was near. She smiled and placed Sunflowers all around it.
She swallowed and placed a hand on the stone. "Oi love ya moi Bestfriend. We will meet again." She stroked the stone once or twice before go to Mungojerrie and Delilah and them walking slowly back to the den without saying a word.
