Mistoffelees woke up when he heared the door open. "Morning sleepy head." A white Persian queen walked into the room carrying a ball. "Here's some breakfast." She said.
She placed a bowl, which contain three mice by Mistoffelees. Mistoffelees got up and looked at the queen. "Who are you?" He asked. "I'm Griddlebone, I work for Macavity." She said. "Oh, I'm Mistoffelees, Macavity's half brother." Mistoffelees said. "I know who you are, now eat."
Mistoffelees took a mouse from the bowl and began chewing on it. "Griddlebone, can I ask you something?" He asked. "Sure." Griddlebone said. "What do you do here?" Mistoffelees asked.
"Well, I control all the operations for Macavity. I gather the Henchcats needed for the operation, tell them what they need to do. Then they go do it." She said. "Do you know how Macavity is planning to rule the world?" He asked. "I'm sorry Mistoffelees. I can't tell you that yet." Mistoffelees sighed. "Ok, I'm just a little unsure about all this. For some reason, it doesn't feel right to join forces with Macavity and try to rule the world." Mistoffelees confessed.
Griddlebone patted his shoulder. "Don't worry about it Mistoffelees, everything will be alright." She said. "Anyway, I better get going. See you around Mistoffelees." She walked from the room.
Griddlebone walked through the hallways of the building and entered Macavity's throne room. Macavity was in there looking at some blueprints. "Macavity?" He looked up and smiled at Griddlebone. "Yes Griddle?" She walked up to him. "I need to talk to you about Mistoffelees." Griddlebone said.
"What?" Macavity asked. "He says he wasn't sure about everything and that he says it doesn't feel right to join forces with you and try to rule the world." She said. Macavity stared at her for minute."I see. Would you excuse me for a minute?" He said. "Sure."
Macavity walked out of the walked through the hallways and entered Mistoffelees room. Mistoffelees had just finished eating his last mouse. "Mistoffelees?" Macavity said. Mistoffelees looked up at him. "Yes Macavity?" Macavity walked up to him. "Do you miss the Jellicles?" He asked. "A little bit." Mistoffelees replied. "Do you want to return to them?" Macavity asked. "I would like to, you know just so I can be with Munkustrap again." Mistoffelees said.
Suddenly Macavity grabbed Mistoffelees and pushed him against a wall. He grabbed Mistoffelees throat. "You are not going to return to them. If you do go back there, I will kill Munkustrap. Do you understand?" Mistoffelees was choking from the lack of air he was getting, but he managed to nod his head because he feared for Munkustraps life.
Macavity let go of Mistoffelees and he fell to the ground gasping for air. "Good. Now I know I can trust you not go back to the Jellicles, you can wander around the lair, but you are not allowed to leave here without permission." He left the room leaving Mistoffelees to cry on the floor.
Munkustrap and Tugger both left Munkustrap's den. They started walking towards the gates when a voice called them. "Munkustrap, Tugger, where do you think you're going?" They both turned to see Old Deuteronomy sitting on the tyre. Several other Jellicles were out basking in the sun.
"We're going for a walk." Tugger said. "No, you're not. You two are to stay here." Old Deuteronomy said. Munkustrap turned to look at Tugger. "When I say run, run." Tugger nodded. "Well don't just stand there, why don't bask in the sun like the rest of us." Old Deuteronomy said.
"Run!" Munkustrap yelled. Both he and Tugger ran out of the yard and kept running. They did not check to see if anyone was following, they just kept running.
They stopped when they both were out of breath. "Look… there's … a… park… over … there." Munkustrap managed to say. They both walked to the park, which looked abandoned. They entered it and went to sit on a bench. "So, what now? I am guessing we cannot go back now. Dad will definitely kill us and he'll probably know that we've been searching for Mistoffelees." Tugger said, once he got his breath back.
"We don't go back. We stay out here until we find Mistoffelees. If we do not find him today, we will sleep here and continue to find him tomorrow. I am not going to give up until we have Mistoffelees and bring him home." Munkustrap said. "So, shall we continue our search?" Tugger asked. Munkustrap nodded. "Yes, lets go." They leapt off the bench and left the park to continue there search for Mistoffelees.
Back at Macavity's lair, Mistoffelees walked around the building. He enters Macavity's throne room. Griddlebone is sitting on a red sofa reading a book while Macavity is looking over some blueprints. They both look up when Mistoffelees enters the room. Mistoffelees walked up to Macavity. "Uh, Macavity?"
"What is it?" Macavity said. "I haven't been outside in a while and I was wondering if I could go out for a walk. I won't go far; I just want a little walk." Mistoffelees said. Macavity thinks for a moment and then says, "Fine, but Griddlebone will have to go with you." Mistoffelees smiled. "Thanks Macavity." Griddlebone puts her book down and stands up "Come on then." She smiles at Mistoffelees. They both walked out of the building.
Mistoffelees smiled when he got his first breath of fresh air. They walked for a while before Griddlebone says "So Mistoffelees, why do you love Munkustrap?" Mistoffelees looked at her. "Why do you want to know?" He asked. "To make conversation." She said.
Mistoffelees nodded. "Well, I've always had a little thing for Munkustrap. He found me when I was abandoned. He protected me and taught me how to dance and sing. He did not mind that I was magical. He got Coricopat and Tantomile to help me control my magic. He was so kind and caring to me. I fell in love with him, but I never told him how I felt because I didn't want to ruin the friendship we had." Mistoffelees said.
"Oh, that's cute. You two actually make a cute couple." She said. "Thanks, but it's kind of too late now. He probably thinks I don't love him anymore." Mistoffelees said sadly. "I'm sorry about that Mistoffelees, but I know you love him with all your heart. Otherwise, you would have run back to the yard by now." Griddlebone said. "I'm never going back to the yard. I do not want Munkustrap dead. I can't lose him." Mistoffelees said. They both continued with their walk.
"Nothing again. He can't be far, we've searched everywhere." Tugger said as he and Munkustrap continued to search. "We will find him, Tugger." Munkustrap stopped. Tugger stared at him looking confused. Munkustrap sniffed the air. A huge grin appeared on his face. "Mistoffelees." Tugger sniffed the air too and smiled. "He's near."
They followed the scent and sure enough, they found Mistoffelees walking across the street with Griddlebone. Munkustrap and Tugger ran across the street to them.
Mistoffelees heard something running towards him. He turned and was embraced into a hug. "Oh Mistoffelees, I've found you." Mistoffelees gulped when he heard that voice. "Munkustrap?" He mumbled into the tabbies shoulder.
Munkustrap stopped hugging Mistoffelees and smiled at the conjuring cat. They turned when they heard a muffled scream. Mistoffelees panicked when he saw Tugger had hold of Griddlebone. He covered her mouth with his paw, so that she could not scream for help.
"Come on Mistoffelees, we're taking you home." Munkustrap said as he went to grab Mistoffelees arm. Mistoffelees shook it off. "Munk, you don't understand. I can't." He said. "What? Of course you can. Now come on." Munkustrap grabbed Mistoffelees arm and this time he had a stronger hold.
"Uh, Munk, what about this one?" Tugger asked. "Knock her unconscious. It will give us time to get back to the yard before she runs of Macavity." Munkustrap said.
Mistoffelees face turns to pure horror when Tugger knocks Griddlebone to unconscious. Before she succumbed to darkness, she had seen Mistoffelees face. "Now, come on Mistoffelees." Munkustrap said as he pulled Mistoffelees arm, he found that it was hard to as Mistoffelees stood his ground.
"Munk, I can't. Macavity he will…" Munkustrap placed a hand on Mistoffelees mouth. "Don't worry Misto, he won't hurt you again. I'll protect you." Munkustrap pulled onto Mistoffelees again, but Mistoffelees stood his ground. "Tugger, can you give me a hand with him?" Tugger nodded and grabbed Mistoffelees other arm. Together they dragged Mistoffelees along with them.
Mistoffelees was terrified as the two toms dragged him along.
Yay, Munkustrap and Tugger have found Mistoffelees, but Mistoffelees is obviously terrified.
I would have updated this earlier, but I was travelling for about 6 hours to stay with my dad.
Anyway, chapter 7 will be coming soon.
