In the junkyard, Old Deuteronomy was pacing in front of the tyre. He was furious that Munkustrap and Tugger had run off.
"Forgive me for saying this sir, but I think they're looking for Mistoffelees." Demeter said. Old Deuteronomy glanced at her for a second before continuing to pace. "I know Demeter; I had suspected that they wanted to get Mistoffelees back." Old Deuteronomy said. "Sir, are you going to banish them from the tribe?" Jelly asks. "I don't know." Old Deuteronomy says.
He stopped pacing and sits on the tyre. He looked at all the Jellicles who were all gathered in the clearing. "Maybe, they had a good reason for going after Mistoffelees." Jenny said. "I should probably let them explain themselves when they get back." Old Deuteronomy said.
Coricopat and Tantomile turned to look at the gate. "I believe it is Munkustrap, Tugger and Mistoffelees." They said together. The whole of the tribe stared at the gates and a minute later Munkustrap and Tugger came through them dragging a terrified looking Mistoffelees.
The tribe could hear Munkustrap telling him "Everything's alright Mistoffelees. You're home now, you're safe." When they reached the centre of the clearing, Old Deuteronomy stood up on the tyre. "Munkustrap, would you care to explain why you have brought Mistoffelees back." He asked. Munkustrap nodded. "Yes sir." Munkustrap began to tell the tribe that Mistoffelees was possessed.
Back at Macavity's lair, Macavity was busy looking over some blue prints. He heard the door open, but he did not look up. "Macavity?" He smiled when he heard Griddlebone's voice. He looked up and his smile faded when he saw she was alone.
"Where's Mistoffelees?" He asked. "They took him. Munkustrap and Tugger took him." She said. Macavity became furious. "No! They are going to pay for this." Macavity yelled as he began to walk from the room.
"Mac, before you go, Mistoffelees did try and get away. He also looked horrified when Tugger knocked me unconscious." Griddlebone told him. Macavity looked curiously at her. "Mac, what are you thinking?" Griddlebone asked.
"Mistoffelees didn't go there because he wanted to; he was forced so I shouldn't kill Munkustrap because he was forced into something he didn't want to do. However, those Jellicles will need to pay for taking him." Macavity told her. Griddlebone nodded. "Yes they will need to pay."
Macavity smiled. "Griddle, I believe some of my Henchcats have been dying to beat up some cats for a while." Macavity said. "Yes they have, so are you thinking of taking some of the Jellicles?" Griddlebone asked. Macavity nodded. "Gather some Henchcats; we're going to the junkyard."
"Oh, is this true Mistoffelees? Did Macavity possess you?" Old Deuteronomy asked Mistoffelees. "Yes sir, he did." Mistoffelees mumbled.
"Well then, Mistoffelees you can continue to stay with us." Old Deuteronomy said. Mistoffelees nodded. "Munkustrap, Tugger, I do believe you can let go of Mistoffelees." Munkustrap and Tugger both released Mistoffelees arms.
"I'm sorry everyone, but I have to go back. He will come back, I know he will and he could possibly kill you all. Please let me go back, I don't want to see any of you dead." Mistoffelees said.
He turned and started walking towards the gates. A paw held his shoulder to stop him. He knew whose paw it was. "Munk, I love you with all my heart, but I don't want to lose you. I have to go back." Mistoffelees said.
Munkustrap turns Mistoffelees to face him. He placed a paw under Mistoffelees chin and tilted it up. He moved his head forward and pressed his lips onto Mistoffelees. Mistoffelees returned the kiss because he missed kissing Munkustrap and he thought that this might be the last kiss they will have in a while.
Once they parted Munkustrap said, "You are not leaving me again. I will not let you." Mistoffelees shook his head. "Munk please, he will not hesitate to kill you. Please, I can't lose you." Mistoffelees begged. "Then, go back in the evening and stay for a couple of hours." Munkustrap said.
"Fine, but in two hours I'm leaving. I don't want to because I would rather stay with you, but I have to for your safety and the tribes." Mistoffelees said. "Okay then. Do you want to go to my den?" Munkustrap asked. Mistoffelees smiled. "I would like to very much." Munkustrap took Mistoffelees paw and lead him to his den.
The rest of the tribe dispersed then. However, none of the tribe realised that they were being watched.
"Mac, what do you think of Mistoffelees suggestion? Should we let him come back to us in 2 hours or should we take him now?" Griddlebone said. They had both heard Mistoffelees and Munkustraps conversation. "Let him come back in the evening. However, once he leaves, I want you and the Henchcats to take the cats that I told you to take. Okay?" Macavity said. She nodded. "okay Mac."
"Stay here and keep watch. Remember as soon as Mistoffelees leaves, take them." Macavity said. Griddlebone and the Henchcats that were there nodded. Macavity stood up and left.
Back in Munkustraps den, Munkustrap and Mistoffelees both laid exhausted in the bed. Mistoffelees was cuddled up in Munkustraps arms. They were both facing each other. "That was amazing." Mistoffelees said. Munkustrap smiled. "Yeah, so glad we were finally able to have a chance to do it."
Mistoffelees grinned. "I love you Munkustrap." Mistoffelees said. "I love you too Mistoffelees." Munkustrap said. Mistoffelees leaned forward and began kissing Munkustrap passionately. Munkustrap returned the kiss.
Once they parted Munkustrap said, "So, we have still time. Do you want to do it again?" Mistoffelees began to climb on top of Munkustrap. He grinned. "Of course."
Outside, Tugger was casually walking around. He walked past Munkustrap's den, he stopped when he heard grunting and Mistoffelees saying Munkustraps name. Tugger smiled and continued his walk. "That's my brother." He said to himself.
An hour later, Mistoffelees and Munkustrap left Munkustrap's den. They walked to the gates. They stopped when they reached the gates and turned to face one another. "Munkustrap, whatever happens, I will always love you." Mistoffelees said. "Mistoffelees, I will always love you too, no matter what." Munkustrap said. "Well I better go." Mistoffelees said. "I hope to see you again soon." Munkustrap said. "I hope so too." Mistoffelees said.
They both kissed each other goodbye before going their separate ways.
Once Mistoffelees was out of sight and Munkustrap returned to his den, Griddlebone and the Henchcats moved towards the Junkyard.
So, which cats does Macavity want? How will Mistoffelees react to this? You'll have to wait and see.
Sorry I didn't update earlier, but I went on a family outing all day.
