[MWAHAHAHA! laughing evilly is so much fun, don't you think? So here's my next chapter, and again I only own Rimabeth and Acenith (who WILL be coming in later) so please don't sue me! no flames when reviewing! enjoy!]
"Rima... Mistoffelees wanted you to have this.. Beforeā¦. *cough* yeah" Munkus didn't exactly look at his little sister. She held out her hand and he dropped a large, round silver coin into it. It was perfectly beautiful, it was obviously old, but the edges of it were so SHINY! She stared at it with intent, holding her paw close to herself, her free claws lightly running it's edges, and tracing the face of a beautiful lady.
"Come on" He said standing up shakily on the plank "It's stopped raining and knowing the others they'll be dancing by now"
Rimabeth didn't respond, she just nodded and followed her brother to the junkyard.
Sure enough they were all dancing, Tugger was up and on the kittens as always. Rimabeth gave a slight laugh when she saw how Etcetera scream and jump. The laugh didn't go unnoticed ; Misto gave her a hard and deadly glare. She stopped and wiped away one of her dried tears. Misto went back to dancing with Victoria, looking at her and smiling the way he did to Rimabeth years ago. Rima felt nothing as she stared at the two. No envy or jealousy (a/n i know it means the same thing) against Victoria, no hatred or anger towards Mistoffelees, no relief for saving him. She felt nothing.
'They make such a good couple' She thought solemnly, looking down at the ground, her paw holding tight to the silver coin.
CRACK
A flash of red sparks went into the opening. The strong smell of whisky coming in through the air.
"Humans!" Alonzo screamed as he fled from the scene, but a rough hand picked him up and threw him in a cage.
"RUN!" Munkustrap shouted when he too was thrown -in a separate- cage. Jellicle cats scattered everywhere, but soon. Rimabeth was in the same cage as Munk and Tumble. Misto was with his brother -Alonzo-. Fate was weird.
Rimabeth sat, her paws clawing at the metal door of the cage. Her paws were soon bloody.
"Rima, calm down" Munkustrap ordered. She glanced over her shoulder, and glared as Tumble scoffed.
"Watch it Tumbler, I'm in no mood to tolerate you" She warned, turning back out to stare at Misto and Alonzo. They were huddled together, Alonzo looking up at the sky, waiting for something to happen. Mistoffelees glared at Rima, who looked away her eyes hitting the ground.
They were in a dark room, the cages laid side by side on a table. The drunken man asleep with a bottle of whisky in his hand. Rimabeth was at the door of the cage, curled up into a ball. Tumble and Munk each in their own corner, asleep.
The light flicked on, and a girl with a sort of crimpy-curly black hair walked in, shrugging off her black jean jacket. She dropped it on a empty chair and glared at the man, letting out a puff of breath. She glanced at the cats, and walked up to the alcoholic, snatching the bottle out of his hand.
"Oi!" She said kicking his shin. The man woke up with a start, nearly falling out of his seat.
"Damn Rizzabella, what was that for?" He said, chafing his shin. There would be a visible bruise from the rounded toe of her black heel. Her black skinny jeans clung tightly to her legs, a gray tank top left her arms bare.
"How much for the lot of 'em?" She asked, leaning on one leg, her hand resting on her hip.
"50 pounds" He said, straightening himself up.
"Too bad I'm not willing to pay that much" She hit him over the head with the empty whisky bottle. Letting him limp in his chair. Shrugging back into her jacket, she walked over to the cage, the cats in it tensing and backing away. She crouched down in front of them and smiled.
"If I didn't know better I'd say you were Jellicles" She smirked, standing and snatching up the cages. Rizzabella walked out of the bland gray building and brought them to an alley. She set down the cages, and opened the doors. Watching the cats walk out slowly, she expected them to slink into the dark. But instead, Munkustrap, and the other permanent Jellicles trotted up to her. Staring.
"Go on" She shooed them away lightly with her hand, but they wouldn't budge. Noticing their stubborn behavior, she stood and left. Humming a familiar tune all the while.
"Are you mean like a minx?
Are you lean like a lynx?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?"
She sang lightly as she walked away.
The Jellicles stood there, dumbfounded. Staring after the teen.
Fate was weird.
