(This Chapter is a bit long. But theres alot of stuff that goes on in this chapter. I Made one of Admetus's journal entry the same day as my birthday :D)

Etcetera stomped down the path that lead back to her and Admetus's den. She couldn't believe her mother never told her about what happened to her. She felt betrayed. Her own mother couldn't tell her the truth. The more Etcetera thought about it the more she got upset. She continued down the path. It was getting dark and she wanted to make it home before it got to dark out. She fastened her pace and hurried home. Etcetera was too busy thinking about her mother to relize her dizzyness came back. She didn't relize it until she got sick again. She leaned agaisnt another tree letting the overbearing sickness consume her. The stomach cramps were starting to come back. They were much more wrose than the ones she had earlier. She clawed at the tree in pain.

"What is wrong with me?" Etcetera asked herself gritting her teeth from the pain.

She was detirmined to get home before it got too dark. Etcetera did her best to stand up straight and to continue on. The stomach cramps with come now and then. But would slowly faded away after a minute or two. Every once in awhile when the cramps came, Etcetera would bite her lip and wait for the cramps to fade away. The walk home seemed like an eternity. But she made it finally. She entered through the door and collapsed on the bed. She curled into a litte ball as another cramp came. Admetus was not home at the moment.

"Must be patrolling." Etcetera said.

Etcetera layed in bed and looked around the room. She was bored out of her mind and needed something to do. Etcetera looked over at Admetus's journal again. She wonder what else he wrote in the journal. Even thought she knew it was wrong to read his personal things. But she still had the urge to read it. She got off the bed and walked over to the desk. She opened the journal and began to read.

December, 12

I was patrolling the junkyard tonight. It seemed like it was going to be a boring night. I sat on a tire and watched the moon above me glide across the dark sky. I always wished I could lay there forever and watch the moon. But soon my relaxing moment was interuppted by someone crying out in the night. I sat up and listened carefully. Yes, I was right. Someone was crying. I sighed and got up from the tire and went to locate where the crying was coming from. While I searched I rubbed my eyes. I was exhausted. I wanted to go home. But I continued to look for who ever was crying. That's when I found culprit. A little creamed color kitten was curled up in a ball on an old arm chair. Her hands covered her face. She continued crying unaware of my presence. I slowly walked up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She jumped up. Obiously wasen't expecting me to be there. She looked at me shaking. I wonder what had made her so upset. Before I could ask her that she asked who I was and if he was gone. I said my name and asked her if who was gone. She looked around hesitantly and answered. Macavity is what she said. Aparently he was terrorizing her. I assumed that Macavity must had enter the junkyard and the two of them must have ran into each other. It was about to rain. Thunder boomed and shook the ground. The little cream kitten leaped out of the chair and clung to my leg. She begged me to bring her home. I agreeded and asked for her name. She looked up at me and smiled with freckled cheeks and said her name was Etcetera. I smiled and brought her home. I hated myself for thinking about it. But she reminded me alot of my passed away sister.

Etcetera sighed. It disapointed her that she would probably never remeber any of this. She flipped the page and kept reading. The next entry was late than the last one.

July, 7

Today is the day. I was going to tell her how I felt about her. How much she ment to me. How beautiful she was. And how much I loved her. I went out in search for her. It didn't take to long to find her. I found her in the junkyard sitting on top of the T.S. Elliot car. She sat there looking up at the sky. Now and then a smiled would spread across her face. Then would disapear into pure astonishment. I climbed up on the car and greeted her with a friendly smile. She greeted me back and went back to looking up at the sky. I joined her and stared up at the moon. I scooted a little closer to her. She didn't seem to noticed. I placed my hand on her shoulder to get her attention. She turned away from the sky and looked at me puzzled. I was so nervous. But I had to tell her. So I did.

Etcetera smiled. She really wished she could remeber when this happened. It would make her so happy. Etcetera wonder what Admetus had said to tell her how much her loved her. She sighed and began to read another page entry.

July, 28

How could this happen? How? I thought these words over and over in my head when I heard the horrible news. My love, taken away by the humans. They took her away from the jellicle family, her mother, and me. Why didn't I protect her? Why didn't I keep her safe? I am the reason why she is gone. I'm the reason everyone is greiving. I visited her mother the other day. She never did aprove of me and Etcetera being together. But when I enter the door I was greeted by her mother with huge tears in her eyes. She begged me to go after Etcetera and to bring her home. Being that I loved Etcetera so much, I agreed and sent out for her.

Etcetera rolled her eyes. "Dosen't surprise me that mother didn't approve." She said. She flipped the page to read some more.

August, 1

It's my fault. It's all my fault. Her mother reminds me everyday that it is my fault. And she is right. I managed to rescue my love. But I failed to keep her safe. And my mistake lead to Etcetera being hit by a car. I held her in my arms and cried out in angst. How could I let this happen to her? I swore that I would never forgive myself. I knew I had to bring her home. I didn't expect her mother to greet me so kindly. Especially with the state that Etcetera was in. I enter the junkyard carrying Etcetera in my arms. The second her mother caught eye of me and Etcetera she rushed over to me and slapped me across the face. I said nothing and allow Jellylorum to take Etcetera from me. She brought her daughter to Tantomile to heal her. I stood outside the den, listening carefully to hear what they were saying. Before her mother left to return back to her den, she warned me to stay away from her daughter. When I was sure she was gone, I entered Tantomiles den and asked how Etcetera was doing. Tantomile said she would be fine and it wouldn't take long for her wounds to heal. But that was not all. Etcetera had suffered from memory loss and she wouldn't remember anything within the last couple months. She wouldn't remember me. I left for my den trying hard not to break down in front of everyone. When I arrived home I broke down and cryed for hours. Everything seemed to horrible to be real. But it was real. And Etcetera and me would never be together.

Etcetera felt like crying again. She continued reading.

August, 18

Tonight is the Jellicle ball. Etcetera will be attending. And so will her mother. The main point of the Jellicle ball is the Mating dance. There everyone was to choose who they were going to mate for life with. Me and Etcetera planned on mating. But since she couldn't remeber me I fear she wouldn't accept me. Jellylorum made it clear that I was to stay away from Etcetera. But Jellylorum always was controlling over Etcetera. So tonight, I will offered Etcetera to mate with me. I hope she accepts.

Etcetera finished the last entry. She picked up the book and hugged it close to her.

"Admetus, I love you." She whispered.

She layed the book back down on the desk. Her stomach growled. So far everything she ate she got sick and threw it back up. She went into the kitchen and looked through the cabnits. She searched around until she found some saltine crackers. She sat down at the table and opened the box. She grabbed a cracker out of the box and took a tiny bite. She noticed the crackers werent making her sick and she ate some more. A couple of minutes later Admetus came home from patrolling. He walked into the kitchen and kissed Etcetera on top of her head.

"Hey Addie." She said smiling up at him making the freckles on her cheek stand out. Admetus found her very charming when she smiled like that.

He smiled back. "Hello Cettie." He said as he sat down at the table across from her. He noticed the box of crackers and frowned.

"Cettie, I thought you were going to eat at your mothers." He said folding his hands on the table.

Etcetera closed the box of crackers. "I did Admetus. But I got sick on the way home for some odd reason." Etcetera replied.

Admetus raised his eyebrows and leaned forward. "You got sick?" Admetus asked concerned.

"Yes, two times." Etcetera answered as she got up and placed the crackers back in the cabnit. She walked over to Admetus and sat down on his lap.

"Don't be concerned Addie. I'm fine." She said trying to calm her mate.

Admetus sighed and wrapped his arms around Etcetera. He leaned in and kissed her shoulder gently. Etcetera brought one of her hands up and ran her fingers through Admetus's head fur. Admetus looked up at her and leaned forward for a nuzzle. Etcetera leaned down and nuzzle her face against his. He began to pur. Loudly and deeply. Etcetera purred to. But her purr was more high pitched and quiet. When Etcetera finished nuzzling Admetus he tenderly pressed his lips on hers. Etcetera gently sighed as he kissed her. She was starting to enjoy the moment. But then the dizzyness came back. She pulled away from Admetus kiss.

"Oh." Etcetera said as she leaped off Admetus's lap and ran to the bathroom. She slammed the bathroom door and locked it. She didn't want Admetus to see her like this. She stomach cramped again while she threw up. Etcetera got up and turned the sink on. She rinsed and spat until the horrible taste went away. There was a gently knock on the door.

"Etcetera?" Admetus asked.

"I'm fine, just... Go away, Ill be out in a minute." Etcetera bellowed.

Admetus knocked again. "Etcetera, please unlock the door." He said. The tone of his voice was more serious this time.

Etcetera groaned and unlocked the door. Admetus entered the bathroom with pills in one of his hands. He handed Etcetera the pills.

"Thanks." Etcetera said taking the pills. She put the pills in her mouth and turned on the sink water on. She leaned her head sideways to drink. When she was done she wiped her mouth with a towel and turned the sink water off. Admetus gently pulled her in for a hug. Etcetera snuggle closely to Admetus. He felt so warm. He made her feel safe whenever he held her.

"You should rest." Admetus said stroking her face with his thumb.

"Okay." Etcetera agreeded.

Admetus glently took her hand and brought her to bed. Etcetera got into bed and pulled the sheets over her. Admetus crawled into bed with her. She didn't expect him to. Instead of turning her back to him like she normally did, she turned and faced him. Admetus rested his elbow on his pillow and laid his head in his hand. He stared at Etcetera with a tender smile as she began to nod off. But she tried her best to stay awake.

"If your not feeling any better did you want to to go to Tantomiles?" He asked.

Etcetera shrugged her shoulder. "If its necessary." She replied closing her eyes.

Admetus smiled and began to sing to her again.
