Mungojerrie's paws were shaking. Every sight, every smell, brought back painful memories of his time here.

The halls he used to stalk had once seemed normal but now every shadow made him flinch. He just hoped Teazer was holding up better than he was.

A mouse ran out in front of him, making him jump. Oh honestly Mungojerrie pull yourself together. He thought, feeling stupid.

He had been so occupied with his own foolishness that he didn't hear the other cat come up behind him. There was a sharp pain on the back of his head and everything went black.

Teazer avoided the areas she knew where henchcats were sleeping, knowing any misplaced paw would get her caught.

It was deathly quiet, the only sound she heard was her own breathing. After what felt like hours she heard a noise. Voices. One of them sounded angry.

She crept down the hallway, searching for the source of the noise. A door was a jar, light from a candle spilling out into the corridor.

She padded towards the opening and peered through the gap.

One cat was pacing back and forth across the small room. His tan and white fur was stained with blood and from where she crouched she could see his emerald collar.

Her ears flattened against her head. /Cumberleylaude.../ she and Mungojerrie had worked under him in the past, she had quite liked him once. But he could be as ruthless as Macavity. And that scared her.

"You shouldn't have come back." He hissed, glaring at a cat she couldn't see. "He wants you dead."

There was a small whimper. Laude growled. "Is that all you have to say?! You dare betray Macavity for those Jellicles?!" He seethed, bearing his teeth.

Its them!

"I'm sorry! You have to understand! They're good cats!" A voice cried.

I know that voice...

Laude strode to the other side of the room, out of her sight. With a hiss and a yelp the other cat was thrown across the room.

The injured queen curled up on the floor, her black and gold frame shaking.

"Demeter..." Rumpleteazer whispered, she couldn't believe it. However from what she saw the queen was not entirely to blame.

Laude advanced on her again, Teazer tensed up. Regardless of what she had done, Demeter was her friend. She had to protect her.

She was about to attack when an arm wrapped itself around her waist and a paw covered her mouth to silence her and she was pulled backwards.

Teazer was hauled into a dark room, struggling with all her might to break free, but the cat was too strong.

The grip around her waist loosened as the cat freed up a paw to lock the door. She saw her chance and swung round, kneeing her kidnapper in the stomach.

Only then did she saw who it was. Familiar dark eyes glared back at her, his black and white fur looked dusty but it didn't hide who he was.

Rumpleteazer took a few steps back, eyes wide. "Alonzo..." No...It cant be him...he can't be here!

She felt sick, she wanted to cry or scream or fight. But she didn't move. "Why?" She whispered. Of all cats it had to be him, a cat second only to Munkustrap, a cat who was supposed to be protecting them.

"You're an idiot for coming here." He snarled, his arrogant smirk nowhere to be seen. "I'll get you out before anyone else sees you."

"What?! I-" She was lost for words. How was he acting so calmly? She had discovered his secret after all.

Isn't he afraid that I will tell everyone? She wondered.

Alonzo held a paw out to her, face unreadable. Teazer stepped back, growling. She wasn't going anywhere with this no good tom.

"I'm not leavin' withou' Demeter." She hissed. "Or Jerrie..." Her heart sank, she had no idea where her brother was.

At that moment Alonzo lowered his paw and hid it behind his other. But he wasn't fast enough for Rumpleteazer's sharp eyes. There was blood on his knuckles.

"What have you done to him?!" She shrieked, lunging at him.

He caught hold of her right arm and twisted it behind her back, making her yelp.

"That doesn't matter. Now shut up I'm getting you out before you get yourself caught." He said sharply, not loosening his grip.

Before the two had a chance to say another word the room suddenly went black and a sinister voice sounded from the darkness.

"Now now Alonzo, there is no need to keep our guest to yourself. I know someone who would very much like to see her."

Sorry it was kind of short! But I hope you enjoyed nonetheless! Were any of your suspicions right?

The next chapter will be the last but I plan on making it long! Please look out for it!

Thank you for reading dears!
