Chapter Seven

Calypso

(Misto's POV)

I stared down the dusty basement steps. They had bugs and mice skittering all over them. I decided to snatch one of them up and eat it whole. The mouse tasted very good. I also was able to gulp down the lump I had in my throat the entire morning.

I placed one paw on the first step. It creaked very, very, very loudly.

"I CAN HEAR YOU!" I heard my sister scream from downstairs. But it wasn't Calypso.

"Please save me." I heard Calypso's voice say.

"FROM WHAT!" Kiseki shouted. I smiled at her antics. I could hear someone running around down there. There were also many rainbow lights flashing. I ran down the rest of the way, ready to see what was happening. When I reached the bottom, I laughed so hard I collapsed into a fit of giggles.

Kiseki was throwing grapefruits around, apparently trying to juggle them. There was bright pink juice splattered all over the walls. I could aso hear random heavy metal music playing. Kiseki had on a dinosaur onesie with many sparkles on it. I would find out later that she had just glitter glued it on. How did she even get it in the first place? Oh, and she had toilet papered the whole basement, and there was rainbow lights flashing all over. The whole scene was just too much too handle at once.

"You should have seen the time she wore a bunny bathrobe and made an army of pigs, rhinos, and dancing ice cream cones who were supposedly going to 'take back Italy' for her so she could 'have all the lasagna she wanted'. When was that again?" I heard Calypso's voice from the darkness in the back of the room.

"YESTERDAY!" Kiseki shouted. She was currently attempting to do the dance moves from 'Thriller'. She wasn't the best dancer I had ever seen, but who could blame her, she was only six. She may have never had any dance lessons from her tribe.

Victoria could probably do it. Maybe if she met Kiseki, she could teach her how to dance. I thought.

Victoria! The thought brought me back to my senses. Why hadn't I run away in the middle of the night again? I asked myself.

Oh yeah, I tried to. Katana had magically locked the door before I fell asleep though. She still doesn't trust me. I thought to myself. I was happy Pax wasn't in the room so he could see that in my mind. But I did wonder why Macavity adopted Kiseki. She didn't seem like the kind of kitten he liked.

Calypso spoke again. "Kiseki, I don't really want to upset you, but I want to talk with Misto alone, is that okay? I'm sorry that you have to leave." She sounded sad. I was kinda sad too, I had grown to like my little sister. According to Katana, she's the only one that's younger than me.

"SURE! WE'LL PAINT CLAWS WHEN I GET BACK!" Kiseki shouted. Then she raced out of the basement in a flying leap. We were lucky that she didn't seem sad. I don't think she was ever sad.

"Okay, now we can talk privately." I said, closing the door behind her.

"Good. Let me turn on the lights." she said. A noise sounded from the dark, like a clap. Then, all of the lights flickered to life. That's when I saw her.

She was an abyssinian queen, like Cassandra and Exotica. Her fur was brown, like Cassandra and Exotica's were, but it had stripes of orange, red, silver, and gold in it. Her eyes were deep gray.

"Hello, Mistoffelees." she said. "I need to talk to you. About...your father." The words escaped her mouth.

I blinked in surprise. I was taken aback by her statement.

"Macavity hasn't told you whole story. You see...as soon as he sensed that Katana had magical powers right after she was born, he tried to get rid of Alonzo, your older brother.

"I know." I said, sitting down. "He tried to give him away to another family of cats."

She shook her head. "He lied to you. He did tried to give Alonzo away. I don't know who to, but somebody who wasn't very nice apparently." She took a deep breath and continued.

"Your mother stopped him the first time. Then you were born, and he got greedy. He tried to take you two to a different lair, to train you. He tried to abandon Alonzo and your mother, Ceramic." She smiled. "I've heard many times that you, Alonzo, and Katana all look a lot like her. As a matter in fact, Macavity took one look at you, and claimed that you were a spitting image of your mother." She started again. "So anyways, she got away with Alonzo and you, but she was heading back for Katana when...when she got attacked. By dogs. She didn't make it." A gaping hole opened in my stomach. My heart ached knowing that my mother was dead.

"That sent Macavity to yahoo-ville after her death. He went completely insane, and raised Katana to be evil. Meanwhile, you and Alonzo were raised by his brother, Tugger." She glanced around, as if she thought somebody was listening to us. "I think he's trying to build an army of magic cats."

I gasped. "Why would he want an army?" I asked.

She shrugged. "No clue. But I know it's probably not good." She sat up quickly though. "But don't worry little bro!"

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I have a plan to escape."

oOoOoOo

(Jemima's POV)

I looked at the battered toys around me. The junkyard was really a sad place sometimes. Humans really threw out the nicest things. It was a shame they were ruined. They thought of someone getting rid of something they could still use made me sick to my stomach.

I was on top of the old tv again, in my special place. I picked up an old doll and looked at it. Suddenly, something strange came over me. My claws started tingling oddly. Suddenly, the doll started to float. In the air!

I shrieked. The doll dropped to the ground. Then, just as I started to get calmer, thousands of little shards of old pieces of junk started to levitate and circle around me. I shouted in surprise, and they all dropped again. I then realized that I was the one controlling the garbage. Me!

I stood up and tried it again. I waved my hand to the side and an old laptop flew to the side. I smiled and looked at my paw. I shoved my hands out to both sides around me, and the cars were tossed in the directions my hands went in.

I faced the ground and willed myself to do the impossible. I felt my feet leave the ground. I got an inch into the air, until I dropped onto the old tv again. I laughed, and then realized I had to keep this a secret.

I can't tell anyone. Nobody can know about this. I thought telling myself to keep my newfound powers a secret.

oOoOoOo

(Katana's POV)

My eyes darted around the room, trying to find where the noise was coming from. I looked around in circles, looking for the source of the voice.

"Who's there?" I asked, baring my poisonous fangs.

"It's just me." I heard Pax's voice behind me. I shouted, turned around, and punched him in the face.

"OW!" He complained, falling backwards.

I yelped. "Sorry, you startled me!"

He stood up all the way again. "I have an idea. Come with me for a minute."

"Why?" I asked.

He smirked. "You'll see soon."

A/N

OOOOOOO, I wonder what that was about. So intriguing. Now let's get to the next chapter soon! I love writing! I'm on a roll here, don't judge! Once again, I'd like to thank my sister Baylee, and thanks to the people who read this as well (If you read this far, thanks. I hope nobody got bored and just left). Lol. Anyways, I hope the backstory with Macavity and Ceramic and their kids is alright.

Critique as much as you like, just don't swear or say anything inappropriate. This fanfic is the opposite of gas station bathrooms-clean!

That's it for now, see you next time!

Sayonara (Goodbye)!
