The New Girl in Town
Rebecca: Hey, it's me again. Not a lot of people probably read my stories anyway, but I still write them! XD
Alonzo: Jellicle cats are black and white.
Marley: Not all of them. Do I have black on me? No!
Rebecca: O-k? I don't own Cats, enjoy.
Marley's POV
I awoke surrounded by sleeping queen kittens. I couldn't help but smile. I had made friends so quickly. The real problem would be finding a mate. Especially sense all the queens and kittens are so beautiful. I could never be as pretty as them...
"Marley?" Jemima woke up. She was the prettiest of them all.
"Oh, hi Jemima."
"You can leave if you want, to catch yourself some breakfast." Jemima stretched and sat next to me. "Maybe you could ask Admetus or Plato to help you hunt." Jemima hardy stifled a giggle.
I blushed. "Th-That could be a good idea..." I smiled at Jemima and scampered away to find a hunting partner. I couldn't see a lot of people up, so I was just looking around at the junkyard.
"Hey." A hunky voice made me turn to see a large Maine coon.
"H-Hi..." He was really handsome.
"I'm the Rum Tum Tugger, most people just call me Tugger." He seemed to move his body in a way to make himself sexier.
"I'm Marley, I just joined the tribe." I was intoxicated by the movement of his hips for some reason.
Tugger chuckled as if he noticed my intoxication. "Are you going to hunt?"
"Y-Yes!" I pealed my eyes from his body to his face. "I j-just wanted someone to hunt with..."
"Well..." Tugger slightly looked to his right, towards the more central part of the junkyard, and then back at me. "Admetus is a good hunter, I could find him for you."
Admetus's POV
I didn't sleep very much, so I just decided to walk around the junkyard. I hoped I would find Marley, maybe we could hunt for our breakfast together. I saw her walk out of Electra's den and look around at the junkyard. Marley was cute, no she was beautiful.
I was going to walk up to her, but Tugger started talking to her. I slipped over to a bit more of a secretive place to watch. Marley seemed to like the way he moved very much. I couldn't help but growl with jealousy. Tugger quickly glanced right at me then back to Marley. He had seen me!
I stumbled towards the center of the junkyard. "Admetus!" Tugger led Marley towards me. What was he planning?
"Hey, Tugger... Hi, Marley." I gave her a little smile.
Tugger raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Marley was just saying that she needed a hunting partner, so I told her you were a good hunter. How lucky we were to find you so quickly."
Was Tugger trying to help me with Marley? "I'd be happy to help you catch some breakfast." I smiled warmly at her. "I-If you want." I added.
"You could help me get good at it." Marley smiled back at me.. Wow, she's like... She's just the cutest thing ever!
Tugger stifled a chuckle. "Have fun, eat well." He walked away, leaving us alone.
"I know a good hunting place, mice make their homes there. Follow me." I led her to my secret hunting field, no one else really came there.
Marley squatted down, in a perfect hunting position. "Is this how you do it?" She whispered, knowing to be quiet.
"That's perfect." I whispered back and got into my crouching position. "Would you like to watch me for a demonstration?"
Marley nodded. "Please."
I silently moved, still in crouching position, towards the smell of mice. Marley followed. I stopped when I heard little movements. I smelled where it was and pounced on a plump mouse and gave the killing bite. "It's pretty easy, especially if you have good smell."
Marley beamed. "I have good smell." She got into her position, moved silently, and pounced on her own mouse. She gave the killing bite and purred in delight at her first kill.
"You're a natural." I sat down and lounged next to my mouse, ready to eat. Marley snuggled up next to me, making my cheeks warm, and bit into her kill. "Do you like the taste of fresh kill?"
"It's delicious!" Marley replied before taking more bites. We both ate our kills rather quickly. "Let's play!" Marley was licking some bits from her whiskers.
Marley's POV
I pounced on Admetus before he turned me over on my back and ran away playfully. I instinctively ran after him. He was faster then me so I fell behind. Before I knew it, I couldn't see Admetus anymore. I was all alone in an unfamiliar place. I kept wandering around, I was getting scared.
An evil laugh came from behind me, making my fur prickle. I turned around to see a long-haired red tom smiling evilly in my direction. "Hello, young queen."
"W-Who are you?" He freaked me out, but I had to stay fierce.
"I am Macavity, the master criminal and master of levitation." He snickered at my frightened appearance.
"Well, Macavity, what do you want? Or can I be on my way?" I growled, attempting to be strong.
Macavity laughed evilly again. "You've recently become a jellicle, I can't have them getting stronger." He studied me for a second. "I'm offering a place in my tribe." He got closer to me.
I hissed in his dusty face. "I am a jellicle! You are nothing!"
Macavity hit me in the face, very hard, causing me to fall to the ground as I clutched my face. "I am nothing? HA! You stupid jellicles are nothing!" He hit me very hard again. I let out a pathetic cry and he laughed harder.
I heard paws running towards me furiously. "Get away from her, Macavity!" Admetus's voice sounded very angry, he was obviously growling. I looked up to see him crouching in attack position in front of me.
Macavity laughed again. "Move, out of the way, kitten. Or, I can just kill you as well."
I took my paws away from my face and got up to stand next to Admetus. "Don't, he's strong, right?" I whispered to him.
Admetus looked into my eyes as if I were a goddess. "He hit you." He growled and looked back at Macavity.
"How noble of you, kitten. Saving a damsel in distress. What are you, a hero?" Macavity laughed some more as he toyed with Admetus. "Come on, kitten, hit me."
Admetus swiped Macavity's arm, which made him fall to the ground. Admetus pounced him and kept swiping his claws at Macavity. Macavity quickly smacked Admetus off of him. Macavity slashed Admetus's shoulder with his claws. Admetus yelped and fell to the ground.
I gave a small yelp myself and ran in front of Admetus. "Just go away, you big bully!" I hissed at Macavity. "You should be ashamed! You're a full grown tom and you're fighting a kitten who is still an unofficial tom!" I hissed some more.
Macavity laughed. "It's not my problem that you're kittens." He laughed for awhile.
While he was laughing I slashed my claws across his eye, hopefully blinding him. "Admetus, come one, quick!" I ran with Admetus to right outside of the junkyard.
Admetus looked at me again. "Are you ok?"
"He only hit me, it's you I'm worried about. That scratch looks pretty bad."
"It's nothing." Admetus scoffed.
"Just let me clean it." I started licking his wound clean for awhile. "Better?"
"Yah." He smiled at me. "But I should go see Jennyanydots. See you later." Admetus walked away towards a medical den.
I smiled and walked back to Electra's den.
