Chapter 2
*Demeter*
Waking up I realized I was in mine and Munk's den and my daughter Jemi was lying with me. The last thing I remember was passing out in the medical den so how did I end up here. Munk entered the room and walked over to my side giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Deme, what happened Jelly said you took one look at the kitten's face and freaked out? You were mumbling things so Jenny put you out."
I sat up I remembered everything but still couldn't believe it but looking into Munk's face then down at our sleeping daughter there was no way I could tell them I have another daughter. Especially that I had ditched said daughter at Macavity's. "I don't know what happened honestly. I think it just brought up some bad memories to see a kit in that state." Munk seemed to believe me and held me close.
"We will let Celeste stay of course, but we need to hear her story first and how and why she ended up working for Macavity." I agreed then got up and headed out of the den and into the clearing where I saw Bomba, My sister, sitting on the tire in the sun so I joined her. She noticed my presence and immediately started gossiping about anything and everything but my mind was only focusing on one thing, my first daughter might be alive but, she might not know who I am, and she might hate me.
*Celeste*
I woke up in a strange place and immediately jumped up only to fall to the ground in pain. Slowly sitting up I leaned against the wall of the room I was in and glanced around. Did I get caught by Macavity, no the room wouldn't be so homey looking more bare and dirty. An older queen walked into the room and saw me sitting on the ground with a gasp she walked over to me,
But I freaked and tried to move away only to find myself stuck against the wall already. I braced myself to be hit but the low never came. When I cracked one of my eyes open to see her sitting on the ground several feet away from me sympathy on her face. "Don't worry sweetie we don't hurt people here."I slowly sat up and stared at the cat in front of me. "An' whahre am Oi?" she giggled, like actually giggled at me. "Sweetie, you talk just like my mate and son." at that moment Jer walked in and I ran up to him and he pulled me into a hug. He kissed the top of my head then spoke to the queen "Mum, Oi told ya ta wai' fo' me Oi knew she would be scared of ya."
I turned around in Jer's arms so I could see the queen Jer called mom better. She was now standing up "Mungojerrie, I am your mother it is not your job to tell me what to do." Another queen entered an older queen like Jer's mom "Jenny, don't tell me little Jerrie tried telling you what to do again." Jer sighed in defeat and looked down to me. "Les, this is Jenneh meh mum." He pointed to the first queen who smiled and waved at me. "An' this is meh aun' Jelleh." the other queen waved at me also in hello. He leaned down and whispered in my ear "we ah' safe now" and kissed me on the temple. Jer led me over to the cushion
I had been first laying on and sat down with me. Jenny came up "are you in any pain dearie?" I shook my head "no." she nodded "That's good you will probably be sore for a couple days due to those bruises but other than that you should be fine." At that moment we all heard someone entering the den yelling for Jelly rather loudly. A tall red queen entered the room "mom can you help me?" at that moment we all noticed she had a cut on her arm and it was bleeding. Jelly moved towards the queen inspected the wound then tsked.
"Bomb, what Happened this time?" the queen huffed in reply "I didn't do anything it was that oaf Tugger he pushed me off the tire, scaring Deme in the process." Jenny and Jelly shared a look and giggled at the young queen's response. "Is my other lovely daughter okay?" Jelly asked. Bomba nodded "Munk had just entered the clearing so he calmed her down and scolded the oaf. Jelly nodded "well you are all bandaged up." the queen nodded in thanks then glanced around the room "Mom why does it smell like Macavity in here?" the queen's eyes had narrowed in on me in a cold hard stare that made me shudder and press further into Jer who moved to blocked me from the queen's sight.
I heard a light slap and heard a chuckle form Jelly "Bomba be nice, Jer just brought this girl back from Macavity's." I didn't hear anything for a little bit but, then I hear tow pair of footsteps leave then Jer turned to me "ya need ta res'." Ignoring my groan he got off the bed kissed me on the forehead again and then he and Jenny left the room. Oh well might as well get some sleep. This day is just getting so weird and for some reason I recognized the name Deme. Before I could think anymore I yawned then fell asleep.
