Author's note: I sorry, I make the Jellicles a little mean in this chapter, but I promsie it'll be better later. Please review! (makes big puppy-dog eyes at readers.)
-1Chapter 2: What can go wrong does.
Andrian was almost to the Junkyard, when he stopped to think this over. The last time he tried to enter the Jellicles' home he was attacked without warning and told to never come back. He was suddenly afraid that the kittens might get hurt if they didn't listen to him again.
His mind made up, he hid the kittens just outside the Junkyard in an old cardboard box. They were all fast asleep. And after checking on them one last time, the pale orange cat took a deep breath and entered the Jellicle territory, certain the kittens would be fine while he was gone.
All was quiet and no one could be seen. The young tom was tense, expecting to be jumped at any moment. He kept walking and thought he heard a faint hiss. He turned his head toward the noise and became convinced that someone was there.
"Hello?" Andrian said uncertainly into the darkness.
A tall, slender cat stepped forward. He was a sliver tabby, about three years old, with a leather collar. He was also one of the jellicles who attacked Andrian last time.
"I thought we told you to stay away." he hissed
"I know but I --"
"Leave before you regret it." The silver tabby said, cutting him off.
"I--" Andrian started, but was tackled by a black and white cat that seemed to have come from nowhere.
Another jellicle, this one a calico, came up an together, him and the black and white one restrained him. Andrian caught a glance of the calico and found he recognized him.
"Mungojerrie? Don't you work for Macavity?"
"I could ask the same of you, mate." Jerrie replied.
"Jerrie, you know him?" asked the sliver tabby.
"Sure I do, Munk. He's Macavity's--"
Andrian cut in quickly, "I have the kittens out--"
"So, you're the one who took Jemina and Mistofeeles! Where are they!" Munkustrap exploded.
The young tom couldn't believe what a mess he got caught in. Mungojerrie knew what he was, Munkustrap thought he took some kittens called Jemina and Mistofeleeles. All he was trying to do was protect Honey's kittens and bring them here like he promised.
"Answer me!" Munkustrap demanded, "Where are they?"
"I don't have or even know a Jemina or a Mistofeeles." Andrian said desperately.
The black and white tom looked at Munkustrap.
"Should we take him to Old Deuteronomy?"
Munk shook his head, "No, it's too late, take him to the pipe and guard it, Alonzo."
Alonzo and Mungojerrie started to drag him toward the dreary pipe. Andrian thought of the newborn kittens hidden in the box, unprotected and struggled in vain to get free.
"No! I have to-- You don't understand there's--"
The orange cat was thrown into the pipe and roughly and dutifully ignored.
…………
Just outside the Junkyard, a ginger cat found four little kittens hidden in a cardboard box. He heard the commotion going on and recognized all four of the voices.
The Napoleon of crime laughed evilly and now knew exactly how to take revenge on Andrian.
