[So, here's another chapter which will NOT be the end... do you understand? this is NOT -notice the capitalized word there- N-O-T the end. as always my disclaimer is that I only own Rimabeth and Acenith. So yet again there will be no sue-ing involved in the making of this fanfic... enjoy!]

"Acenith!" She screamed as he swung her around, holding her in tight hug. His hand stroked her mane, his breath coming out in one puff. Then another. His eyes closed, holding the Queen once again in his arms.

"THIS IS WHY! You couldn't just tell me you had a mate!" Misto's temper cracked.

Acenith dropped Rima, and he stood there, an arm slung over her shoulder. Her head tilted ever so slightly as her brows furrowed in confusion.

"Ace isn't my mate Misto... I couldn't let you be in danger just because of my carelessness."

Everyone began to group together in that clearing, watching the two kits.

"Macavity was using two cats,- who were dear to my heart-, two numbers, as a threat to use me. Tugger and Munkustrap. When I screamed to protect you that time, he realized that my number had gone up... I wasn't going to put you in danger like that"

"Glad to see you care so much about us Rima" Tugger said, leaning onto Munkustrap, who nodded in agreement.

"Ahhh, but he already knew about you two. I couldn't prevent that one so well" She countered.

"I'll kill them Rimmy dear... I'll slaughter our brothers" Macavity was circling a bound and kneeling Rimabeth. Her eyes cast down, wrists tied together sat idly in her lap "Unless... of course, you help me with something" His jagged claw ran down her jaw line

"Like you'd really kill them" Rimabeth sneered, not wanting to hear this offer.

"You won't believe what measures I go to, to ensure my help does as commanded"

"You're a horrid and cruel beast Macavity" She spat, jerking her head back from him

"Better get used to it"

"... I'll do it" Her head sunk in defeat, her body wilted. Macavity left a tear stained kitten in the center of the cell.

"I guess we'd better go... It's more than obvious I'm not wanted here"

A slight tear ran down her face as she turned to walk away, following Acenith. Mistoffelees reached out and grabbed her wrist. Pulling her back for his arm to wrap around her, and dip the Queen back. He pressed his lips to her, falling into a deep and passionate kiss with Rimabeth. Their lips moving in perfect synchronization to each others. Misto felt himself grow hot, his hand moving up her back, feeling the softness of her fur. He didn't know how long it was, it could have been seconds or centuries that had passed by when he pulled back.

"I always wanted to do that" He whispered nervously, an embarrassed smile spread across her face as she let out a breath.

[YAY! they got together! hooray! And again I will repeat myself here: THIS IS NOT THE END THIS IS NOT THE END! so keep waiting for the next chapter. 'k? k. and as always i will request that you REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!]
