Chapter Three: You Jump, I Jump

A few days later, a new cat came on board. Her name was Jennyanydots, but everybody called her the Unsinkable Jennyany. Her husband had struck it rich, yet she was traveling alone on the Titanic. She wasn't your average high class passenger, though. Heavens no! She was more like Misto in every way...

xoxoxoxoxo

Mistoffelees lay on a bench on the poop deck of the Titanic, watching the night sky float over him. It was so beautiful, with the stars and everything. Pouncival had already gone off to bed, but Misto couldn't. He was too in love with the night sky.

Suddenly, he heard heavy breathing and running pawsteps coming his way. He quickly sat up just in time to see the beautiful white cat he had spotted earlier racing towards the front of the ship, sobbing heavily. He bit his lip. Something was definitely wrong.

Victoria ran as fast as she could down the deck, tears streaming heavily. She hated this. She hated everything. She had to get away. When Plato had kissed her only moments ago, she realized she could never love him. And she was trapped. With only one way out. She flung herself against the railing, looking down into the freezing waters below, rocking under the ship. She swallowed. It would hurt, mercy it would hurt. But then, oh the bliss of being free! Her mind made up, she shakily put one foot on a bar of the railing, her heart pounding hard. Trembling, she swung her legs over the bars and then hung onto the front of the boat's railing, like a wooden mermaid carving on the front of a pirate ship.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" a voice from behind her caused her to turn her head around. She found a handsome tux cat looking at her skeptically, his arms crossed.

"Stay back!" she cried, tears falling. "Don't come any closer!"

The other cat reached out a paw, smiling crookidly. "Just take my paw. I'll pull you back in."

"No! Stay where you are or I'll let go!" she begged.

"No you won't," the tux cat shook his head. "You would have done it already."

"Just let me alone!" Victoria begged, though she silently knew this stranger was right.

"I can't. I'm involved now. You jump, I jump," he shrugged.

"What? The fall alone would kill you!" she gasped.

"I'm a good swimmer for a cat," he insisted, putting his hands on his hips. "I'm not looking foward to it, though. But as I said, you jump, I jump."

"You're crazy!" she grumbled, though tears were slowly slowing.

"Yes, I am crazy. But in all due respect, ma'am, I'm not the one hanging off the front of a ship."

Victoria bit her lip. Oh, how true that was.

"Come on," the other cat insisted, holding out his paw again. "Just take my paw. You don't want to do this. Trust me. Just take my paw and I'll pull you back in."

Victoria looked down into the choppy, dark, freezing water and sighed. "Alright," she nodded slowly. She pried a paw off the railing and reached over to the tux cat's paw, taking it in hers. So warm...

He gently began pulling her towards him. "I'm Mistoffelees," he introduced himself.

"Victoria," she grumbled. Mistoffelees smiled and pulled her closer. Suddenly, her foot slipped and she plunged towards the water, her heart and stomach dropping with her. She screamed at the top of her lungs. She didn't want to die! No matter what she had thoughts moments ago-

"I got you!" She was suddenly aware of Mistoffelees's paw still holding hers. He was holding her tight, his face twisted in pain as he supported her whole weight.

"Trust me!" he cried, his voice as calm as he could make it. But she saw the panic in his eyes. She couldn't help but scream again, this time louder than before. He bit his lip hard and pulled, using all his strength. Victoria was suddenly aware of the fact that he was indeed pulling her to saftey. She still screamed for help, but not so loudly as before. With one final tug, Victoria was pulled back on to the deck, where she and Misto landed with a thud. She looked over at him in shock.

"Misto...thank-" But she was cut off by the entrance of one of the night-watch cats, who saw the upper-class queen and the lower-class tom laying on the floor and instantly drew a conclusion.

"You stay right there!" he demanded to Misto. "You fiend!"
