[I AM BACK! and yet again I know a very certain person who went i and CHANGED the disclaimer. Why would they change the disclaimer, and not the story? I don't know! I might have to go and hurt a certain someone right about now... Here's the next chapter to our story! Once again the only characters I own are Acenith (who really doesn't have anything to do with the story anymore) and Rimabeth. And I don't own the little peice of the song that Rima sings. So please please please please don't sue me!]
"Tumble! Let me go!" Rimabeth continued to try to squirm her way out of his grasp, but his hold on her wouldn't budge. She ignored the stares that followed them as she was dragged to her brothers den. People followed them as Tumble burst through the door, letting Rima drop to the ground.
"So the masked finally shows" Tugger dismissed the sister lying on the ground. Munkustrap walked over and helped her stand up.
"I'm not masked, I've told you. I don't know what he was talking about."
"So you WEREN'T with Macavity before he showed." Tugger accused her once again, Munkustrap and Misto throwing him a cautious glare.
"No! I was with Pouncival. You all saw me come back with him. He'll vouch for me" Rima declared pointing at the Tom leaning agianst the wall. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck not meeting her gaze as he approached her.
"I'm sorry Rima, but I wasn't with you the whole time you were gone. I can't even trust that comment, and I can't vouch for a lie" He admitted sheepishly, still not meeting her angry gaze. Instead, Rima noticed he was gazing longingly at Victoria. Her eyes glanced between the two. Mistoffelees followed her gaze and he smirked. Rima stood speechless for a moment, before her anger got the best of her.
"Do you hear yourselves? You're being ridiculous! I am your sister, I am a Jellicle, and I do NOT work for Macavity" She yelled, her fists at her sides, attempting to keep her temper down.
"She's right" Munkustrap said, looking at the ground.
"Of course I'm right" She said, her stance relaxing. She backed away for a minute, before walking up to Pouncival, and slapping him across the cheek. The audible meeting of flesh to flesh. Pouncivals head turned the other way as she walked out of the den. Tears streaming down her face.
Tears streamed down Rimabeths face as she tore past Jellicles.
"Rima?" Rum Tum Tuggers brotherly instinct kicked in as he chased after her. Munkustrap quickly assessed the situation, and barralled after the two. Catching up easily.
"What's wrong?"
"!" She glanced at Munk, and sped up her pace. Outrunning the two brothers easily. Looking over her shoulder, she saw them slow down to a stop. Yet she sped up still. Running to her 'secret spot'. Rimabeth and Misto had played there together when they were just kittens. She ran full speed to the large tin box that sat on the outskirts of the junkyard, flashbacks flying through her mind.
"Misto stop!" She screeched as Misto continued to chase her round and round the box. He tackled her to the ground and she laughed even harder, as he too fell into the humorous sound. They both fell silent when their eyes met.
If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
She sang to herself as she overlooked the beautiful city from her tin box. Mistoffelees sat down beside her, and smiled when she looked at him.
Misto and her stepped, matching stride for stride as they danced at the Jellicle ball. People all stared at them. But she didn't notice Misto looked ahead, his arm outstretched. And Misto smiled brightly as he looked at his dancing partner. She faltered at the sight and began to fall, and he caught her.
"Misto?"
"Yes?"
"Will you wait for me?" She said, as she began to leave on her last night at the Junkyard. They stood up together.
"Yes, I will be waiting for you"
She curled into a ball. Sobs broke past her lips, her body shaking madly. Tears of hate, of angst, hurt, comfort, envy, all flowed down her cheeks.
"Rima?" A soft voice came from behind her. Looking over her shoulder she could now see a black and white tuxedo cat.
"Mistoffolees?
[YAY! Another chapter come and gone. That was a little sad, and I do apologize for the shortness of the chapter. But please do tell me what you think. REVIEW REVIEW!]
