[YAY! I am back! and no one changed my disclaimer on the last chapter :) happiness! So once again I don't own anyone or anything besides Rimabeth or Acenith (whom I've decided will make a comeback and be a part again. but not in this chapter) And I don't own either of the songs that gets sung (that didn't make sense at all) . The artist is Avril Lavigne, and Timbaland. And I kind of just butchered them so that it made sense to the story. so here is my chapter four :] - look! another smiley face!
"Hey," Misto said in a solemn voice as he approached the shaking Queen. He sat down and looked at her, the tear stained face, her eyes slightly puffy. Her body shaking from the rocking sobs. "Come here" He said as he took her up into a hug. His chin sitting on her head, his hand stroking her back.
"How are you?" His voice was soft, as her sobs stopped.
"It hurts" She whispered, burrying her face in his pure white chest.
He pulled back from holding Rima, cupping her face with his paws he looked her in the eye.
"I will never hurt you Rimabeth" He whispered, her tear filled eyes spilling over.
"Misto, I- can't. I can't kiss you. I'm not good for you. I will never be the right girl for you. You-can't. No."
"But do you want to?"
"Yes" She whispered.
"Then nothing else in the world could ever matter"
Misto leaned in closer, and so did she. It seemed so close and so far when their lips brushed against each others. He let out a shaky breath, as he breathed in again. Her lips parted, and so did his. Both hearts ready, beating in synchronization.
She turned her face away, her eyes shut tight. She rose to her feet and walked away from Mistoffelees. Both hearts shattering from the one decision.
The junkyard was filled with gossip at the two's expense. Rimabeth walked across the opening, ignoring the stares. The handsome tuxedo cat came into her view and she shuddered.
"Misto. I am so so sorry" She said quickly making her way to him, in the center of the group of Toms. He refused to meet her gaze, turning his head away. Alonzo , Mungojerrie, and Admetus all glared and scoffed at her presence.
"Mistoffelees please. I'm so sorry."
"Why?" Misto said, still not looking at her.
"What?" She breathed, the tears once again trailing down her face.
"Why?" He demanded "Why would you tell me that you wanted to kiss me back, and then leave."
"If you'd damn listened to me! I told you, that I couldn't be the right girl for you, I told you that I couldn't kiss you. I told you..."
"Why can' t you be the right girl. Why couldn't you kiss me?"
"I can't tell you" She whispered, looking down and swallowing her pain.
"Such a pretty little liar" Tumblebrutus said snidely, walking up to her. "I told you Misto. Never trust her, but did you listen? No." He frowned deeply at the little Queen, her bright blue eyes meeting his. "And now: look where you've got yourself."
Tumble walked off and all of the other Toms followed him, leaving only the Queens. But they couldn't stand to be in that ackward situation, so they all walked away. All but Jemima, who went to confront her Aunt. Even though she never seemed like an aunt. Rima was just about Jemmy's age, about three years older.
"Rima?" She whispered, her high voice breaking the silence. "You okay?"
"Yes. Yes I'm fine." Rima answered after a moment.
"That's contradicting the obvious" Jemima whispered, letting her hand slide off Rima's shoulder.
"Jemima?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you" Rima said aloud before slinking off into the darkness of the shadows.
Misto stalked away from the other Toms. Mad at everything and everyone. He passed a group of Queens on his way to wherever it was that he was heading. Electra and Etcetera were laying out, grooming themselves. Exotica and Cassandra were staring at the moon, looking as if they were waiting for something to happen. Cassandra, Tantomile, and Victoria were well on their way to falling asleep amidst the others.
He had walked all the way to the gate of the Junkyard, he could see Big Ben from here, as it chimed midnight.
"I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize,
it's too late" He whispered his last words as he bowed his head.
Rima felt so alone. She felt like she'd betrayed everyone, every single person. No one could side with her now. She couldn't even bring herself to be okay with what she'd done. But Misto hadn't listened, and if he had. He'd be safe.
She sat alone on a long plank of wood that connected to junk piles together. The rain started to pour down, and the tabby was soon soaked to the bone.
"I'm sitting on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
But I.. I'm with you"
"Rima?" Her brothers voice came out of the dark as Munkustrap approached her. He sat down carefully on the plank, and stared out over the junkyard.
"You know," He began "I think that, out of all the years of experience with you. I've always trusted your judgment... But I simply cannot figure out why you 'can't be the right girl for him'" He gave her a sneaky look and she glanced back to the ground below.
"I'm just not. I never was and I never will be" She stated, tilting her head "He just... wouldn't listen"
[AWWW so sad. But all will soon be healed... or fixed... or in this case, all will be revealed. There we go. That's the word i was looking for. but don't forget: REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW !]
