Macavity

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:57:24

Macavity had just returned from the junkyard and was happy with himself for driving a wedge between Demeter and his brother, Munkustrap. He entered his lair and immediately called for his son. "Plato! Plato...where are you?"

 

Plato

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:06:11

He walked in, returning from Victoria's den. A trickle of blood ran down his cheek.

 

Macavity

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:51:10

Macavity turns to see his son coming towards him with what appears to be blood on cheek. "Rough go of it? What happened to you?"

 

Plato

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:20:53

"Victoria happened." he said "She looks like a angel, slaps like the devil" he raised a hand to his cheek. "Is that still bleeding?"

 

Macavity

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:44:52

letting out a sinister laugh. "I believe that it is. What did you do to deserve a slap like that?"

 

Plato

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:32:13

"She was mad about me flirting with other queens at the ball, when I reminded her we weren't mates then, she slapped me."

 

Macavity

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:31:47

"Now son...you know that women are always right...whether they are or not. You would think that I had taught you that by now. So what happened after that?"

 

Plato

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:32:03

"she just kinda stormed out, then came back in about five minutes later, crying her eyes out, apologized and went outside to stretch" he scratched his head. "I love her, but her emotion changed in a second."

 

Macavity

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:09:18

Macavity had a smile on his face as he listened to his son. "That is a female for you. Love will make you do strange things for the affection of a queen and you arent immune to its effects."

His thoughts were turned to the events of the day and Demeter. He had driven a wedge between her and Munkustrap. He then turned to his son. "Does my brother know you are seeing his daughter? Or is he still in the dark?"

 

Plato

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 10:13:10

"He knows I'm seeing her, in fact he asked me to be her mate. He doesn't know your my father, figures I was a stray." he leaned against the wall of the den.

 

Macavity

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:39:43

Macavity was proud of his boy and his face showed it. His plan to bring down his brother was going slendidly. Bombalurina had gone to Munkus without much coersion and now Demeter was vulnerable. He turned to his son leaning against the wall. "Go back to them my son. Keep your eyes and ears open to any news about your uncle or Demeter and then report back to me."

He turned away from Plato and laughed as coldly as he ever had. "Soon she will be mine!!!"

 

Demeter

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:17:53

Demeter was shaking like a leaf by the time they reached Macavity's lair. She closed her eyes, not wanting Macavity to see the tears that were beginning to form. She was going to be here for the rest of her life

 

Macavity

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:36:25

Macavity looked at Demeter and could see her trembling. "Welcome home...my queen. Feel free to look around. Anything you desire can and will be yours." He stepped closer to her and pulled her close to him. He put his arm around her and held her tightly. "You are truly safe here with me. Forever." He then laughed as loudly as he could.

 

Zazor

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:38:19

Zazor heard his master's laugh and came running to see if he could be of service. "Master you are back. All went well?" He turned and saw the golden queen securely in Macavity's arms. "Oh yes...quite lovely. Will there be anything for you or the queen?"

 

Macavity

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:39:27

macavity was pleased to see his hench-cat and was pleased by his apparent aproval of Demeter's presence. "No...unless. Anything my dear?"

 

Demeter

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:26:41

Demeter was busy looking around the room while Macavity and Zazor were talking. The room was bare and sad, like a cage. Come to think of it, it was like a cage for her.

Upon hearing Zazor’s question, Demeter gulped and looked up at him. The first thing she saw was a long white scare that stretched from his right eye to the end of his muzzle. She shivered, and pressed herself closer to Macavity. “I…I…Could you show me…Where I will be staying? And…Could I get something to eat?”

 

Macavity

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:56:04

Macavity looked down at Demeter as she closed into his side. He looked up to Zazor and nodded to him. "Yes...Zazor can do this for you my dear and when you are settled in...I will come to visit you and spend some time catching up." He motioned for Zazor to escort her to her room and then turned and walked towards a dark room near the back of his hideout. His voice could be heard in the darkness. "Revenge is so sweet...Munkustrap."

 

Zazor

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:57:32

Zazor stepped close to Demeter and extended his paw to her. He had a smile and his voice held no malice. "This way my dear. Ill show you around and then will find you something to eat. Sound good?"

 

Demeter

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 10:34:34

Demeter went obediently with the Henchcat. She didn’t trust any of Macavity’s Toms. She knew that most of them would pounce on her the moment they got a chance. She didn’t intend to give them that chance.

“Excuse me…When will Macavity…My Tom be back for me?” Strange as it seemed, Macavity really was the only safe thing in this hideout. He could protect her from the Henchcats…If he chose to…

 

Zazor

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:51:07

Zazor glanced at the queen and shook his head. "Cant say for sure...he is everywhere all the time. He seems to know everything that goes on here so I wouldnt try anything if I were you. Just some friendly advice."

He took her to an area where alot of Macavity's henchs stayed. He stopped just inside the room and raised his voice so all could hear. "Listen up you currs. This is Demeter and she is the boss' new queen. So she is not to be harmed or touched. Understand?" He turned to see that all were nodding to his words. He then turned to her. "Feeling safer? Everyone here will die to protect you...literally."

 

Demeter

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:53:06

Demeter stared out at the mass of cats. All of them were Toms, but they were of varying sizes, and colors. But they all had one thing in common. A long scar that stretched from their right eye to the end of their muzzle; the mark of a Henchcat.

"Yes..." She murmured softly to Zazor. "Thank you...Ummm...Is this where I'm staying?" She gave a worried glance across the varied faces in the crowd. They seemed nice enough, and they they had agreed not to hurt her...But the look in some of their eyes was a look of pure evil, and, for her, that was reason enough not to trust them, whatever they may say or do.

 

Zazor

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:24:29

Zazor tried to stiffle the urge to laugh. He could see that Demeter was scared. "Dear no my queen. These are your army of the night. You will be in through here." Zazor led her through another set of doors and a long hallway before coming to a room that was fit for royalty, even for cats.

The room was warm and lit by candles but not dark. There was a large fur rug spread near a fire place and around it was all a cat could ask for. Nice collars, toys, trays with treats piled upon them.

Zazor loved this room. Especially now that it would see some use. "I have prepared this room for you. What do you think?" He extended his paw to show her that she could enter and it was hers. "If you think of anything you may need...dont hesitate to ask."

 

Demeter

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:45:25

Demeter gave a gas as she saw what was in the room. It was as though she had walked into a completely different world. A world of beauty and elegance, something she had never known in the Junkyard.

“Oh my everlasting cat…” She took a step forward, afraid that it might disappear if she dared to touch anything. It truly was a room fit for a Queen…A room fit for Macavity’s Queen. That was her, she reminded herself. This room was for her. She took another step forward, onto the beautiful fur rug that covered most of the floor. “It’s lovely…”

*Gasp

 

Zazor

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:21:47

Zazor smiled as he watched the young queen and stepped back to give her more room to take it all in. He stopped at the door and sat down, keeping his eyes on his master's prize.

 

Demeter

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:59:26

Demeter stepped even further forward- and saw something that made her stop dead. It was a long, milky white chain of pearls, shining in the light of the fire. “Oh…” She breathed.

She ran a reverent claw along a pearl, and then wrapped her whole paw around it. “It’s so beautiful…” she purred softly, “Is…Is it for me?”

 

Macavity

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:23:10

Zazor began to speak up when Macavity entered the room and placed a paw on his friend's shoulder. He stepped into the room and over next to Demeter in a blink of an eye. "Yes...if you like...they are. Their beauty pales in comparison to your own Demeter. All that you see here is yours if you only pledge yourself to me." His eyes were not filled with hate as usual and instead were warm and full of compassion for her.

 

Demeter

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:54:25

Demeter took an involuntary step backwards when she saw Macavity appear. How did he manage to get around so quickly?!

"I....Pledge myself to you? You mean...Become your Queen?

There was something new in Macavity's eyes, something strange. Could it be...

"Macavity...There is something I must know before I can say yes...Do you love me?"

 

Macavity

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:15:39

Macavity looked into Demeter's eyes and was at once mesmerized. He had never really thought about it before. he was just wanting to make his brother suffer but along the way...she became an obsession. He turned away and moved over by Zazor. He paused and looked over his shoulder at the queen and spoke. "...yes."

With a lingering paw on Zazor's shoulder, he was gone and out of sight.

 

Zazor

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:18:41

Zazor watched his master leave and then looked to Demeter. "This is a great thing...is it not? You are the luckiest queen in this world young miss. to have my master care about your well being...its...well a great thing." The hench was smiling and could barely hold his excitement inside.

In his excitement, Zazor forgot to make sure she didnt need anything. His master was never this way and it took him by surprise. "My lady...will there be anything?"

 

Demeter

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:06:40

Demeter stared blankly at Zazor for a moment before really taking in what he had said. "No...I'm fine...Just leave me...Please..."
As soon as he was goon, she reached up to put on the pearl necklace- and felt hr old Jellicle collar. She took it off and looked at it. Her old Jellicle collar...Munkus had given to her when she had become his mate. She remembered how she used to prance around the Junkyard with it on, she was so proud...Well, she wasn't anymore.
With a scream of agonizing frustration, she hurled the collar into the flames. The fire consumed it in a matter of seconds. She let out a sigh, and hooked the pearls around her neck. She was Macavity's Queen now.

 

Zazor

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:31:27

Zazor had just stepped out of the den prepared for Demeter when he heard her yell out and he turned to peek in. He watched as she threw a collar into the fire. His eyes grew wider as she placed the pearls around her neck. She had accepted his master as her tom.

He turned and ran into the darkest place in the hideout and knew he would find his master there. "Master...Master Macavity. I have good news." He could hear a rustleing noise in the darkness nd then heard a voice in his ear asking "...really?..." Zazor immediately nodded and in a subdued tone spoke again. "Master, Demeter has put on your gift...she put on the pearls. You have won Master. You must go to her...while she is vulnerable sir. If you waste time...she may have a change of heart and leave you again..."

As his words escaped his lips, he could feel a claw awfully close to his throat. He heard that same distant voice in his ear again. "...she is mine and no one can take her from me now..." With a gulp and a deep breath, Zazor heard the sounds moving away and let out the air he was holding very slowly. He was glad to e breathing still and then sat down trying to get his pulse under control.

 

Macavity

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:33:50

Macavity was heard heading towards Demeter's room but never entered. He could see her from where he was and he knew that if and when he spoke, she would hear.

From all around the queen...Macavity's mysterious voice was heard. "Do you like the gift? You can have anything you want...just ask...So. what does your heart desire most...my queen?"

 

Demeter

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:33:37

Demeter didn't even flinch as she heard Macavity speak. It didn't surprise her either that when she lifted her head and looked around, she could not see him anywhere. "Thank you for the gift, my Tom...It is beautiful..."

She fingered the pearls gently between her claws. "There's nothing I want, or need at the moment...But I would like to ask you something...Will we be sharing a den? I mean...Will you be staying in here with me?"

She glanced over at the master bed, which was more than big enough for two cats.

 

Macavity

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:55:05

Macavity listened to her and watched her play with the pearls. His voice sounded hallow as it projected to her. "If that is what you wish..."

Just then he appeared out of the shadows in the farthest corner of the room andhis eyes were full of emotion as he approached. He had his paws out and open so she could see he meant her no harm. "I would like that...yes."

 

Demeter

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:05:02

Demeter stared at Macavity, her eyes full of pity, and gratitude. "Thank you..."
She stepped nervously forward, ready to spring back if needed, but more comfortable then she had been with Zazor. She bit her lip, unsure what to say. "Where....Where did you get all these things?"

 

Macavity

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:49:03

MAcavity didnt move as Demeter made her tentative approach. He only smiled and watched her movements. "Oh...here and there. All over. Why do you ask? Are you not happy with them? They can be replaced."

 

Demeter

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 13:05:39

Demeter shook her head quickly. "Oh, no! They are lovely..."

What could she possibly think of to say next? She felt very uneasy around Macavity, but not in a bad way now. Her heart was tap dancing along her rib cage, and she found it hard to look at him. As an excuse for her silence, she began looking around the room again, noting all the possible resting places, and things she wanted to examine later.

 

Macavity

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 21:54:33

"That's good to hear. Im gald you like them." He got quiet as he watched her looking around the room. Was she looking for a way out? Surely not. She came with me willingly. He only smiled and watched quietly as she explored a bit.

 

Demeter

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:57:53

Demeter was still absently casting around for something to say when her eyes fell on a dusty old collar in the corner. She thought nothing of it at first, but as she studied it, she recognized the pattern of stones placed around the edge. “Oh my…”

She rushed forward, and snatched up the tiny collar. Her paw trembled as she wiped the dust from the tag, and confirmed her worst fears, “Jemimia….” She turned her tear filled eyes to Macavity. “What did you do to her?!”

 

Macavity

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:11:56

Macavity watched Demeter move over and pick up what looked like a collar then turn to face him with eyes filled with emotion. He didnt know what to say as her gaze seemed to cut him deep. "I dont really know...Who did you say again?"

 

Demeter

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:36:32

Demeter trembled with anger, and fear, “Jemimia!” The name rang around her head, bringing memories of the small kitten that had been so dear to her.

Nobody knew where Jemimia had come from. She had appeared a few months after Demeter had made her final escape from Macavity, a bundle of kitten fur who had no idea who she was, or where she had come from. She and Demeter had instantly bonded because, at the time, they had both been feeling lost, lonely, and scared.

Only a few weeks later, Demeter had woken up to find that Jemimia was gone. She had never returned, and she never found out where she had gone.

 

Macavity

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:26:59

Macavity could tell Demeter was upset and stood to leave. "I am sorry. I have no idea of her whereabouts. But I will find out for you. If it will please you?"

He turned and moved top the door where Zazor was outside as instructed. "Find out what happened to a queen named Jemimia. Be discreet and quiet and report back to me with any information you find. Now go." With that, his hench was gone from sight.

Macavity was worried about what Zazor would find. He didnt want to lose Demeter again. He turned back to Demeter and smiled. "I have Zazor looking into it. He wont let me...or you down. I swear it."

 

Demeter

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:12:45

Demeter nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude, and slight shame. She had blamed Macavity with no solid proof that he had anything to do with it.
"Thank you..." She murmered.

After a moment's hesistation, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Macavity's chest in a tight embrace, pulling herlsef against his warm body. "I...I love you..."

 

Macavity

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:59:52

Macavity was surprised by Demeter's embrace. He didnt return the notion right away as he tried to think of what he should do. His heart was full of love for her but his mind was confused by her sudden show of affection. He decided that he would enjoy this while it lasted and placed his arms around her and squeezed her gently. "I...love...you...too."

 

Demeter

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:55:40

Demeter smiled as she felt Macavity’s muscular arms wrap around her.

Suddenly, she had a million questions for make. Why did he love her so much? When had he started to love her? And, most importantly, what miraculous thing had he done to make her love him back.

 

Zazor

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:10:35

Zazor was running through the lair and trying to find out anything on Jememia's whereabouts. He finally came up to Bonconlo, who he knew ran with her before. "Bonconlo...Macavity needs to know where Jememia is. He wants her found if you know."

 

Bonconlo

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:25:33

Bonconlo smirked. Little Zazor, the boss’s favorite. He was the biggest suck up this side of the Junkyard. “Jemimia, you say…”

He stroked his chin thoughtfully. He knew the name, of course. The question was whether or not to reveal what he knew. What possible motive could Macavity have for wanting to know about her? Probably he wanted to know because of Demeter.

Demeter. The very mention of the name made her furious. That stupid Queen turned their fearless leader into a puddle of foolish love. Pathetic.

Well, he wasn’t about to give up what he knew for her sake. Not in a million years. “Nah…Doesn’t ring a bell…”

 

Zazor

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:17:46

Zazor looked into Bonconlo's eyes and knew he was holding out. But how to get him to talk. He could go to the boss but that wouldnt be best in this situation. Then an idea hit him. He knew how much Bonconlo dispised Plato and the fact that he was Macavity's son. A devious smile formed on his lips. "I dont blame you, really. You know...I saw the boss' son sneaking out of here recently and then not long after, Demeter was here. Its her that wants to know but I hear tell that Plato wants to take over and well he isnt as forgiving as Macavity is. Just a rumor. You are the highest ranking servant of the boss and you know he will target you unless..."

 

Bonconlo

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:54:53

Bonconlo stopped dead in his tracks. Plato?! Macavity's son! He hated his guts of course, but he was very aware of the kind of power that he held. And the kind of power that was promised to him if he was to take over. He was also aware that he cared quite a bit about Demeter, as he had spent a lot of time with her the last time she had been captured. "Oh...I...I do seem to recall something...She...The last time I was with her, she was trying to find out where she had come from, and who her parents were. She wanted to talk to Old Deuteronomy, but that's the last time I saw her, I swear! She said she was getting Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer to take her to him!"

 

Zazor

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 22:03:29

Zazor smiled as the young hench came around to his way of thinking. "So...have you seen them lately? I realy must speak with them. I know...you can bring them to me and when the time comes...I can help...you. What do you say Bon? Hmmmm?" He laced his fingers together as he waited for a reply.

 

Bonconlo

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:29:10

Bonconlo nodded quickly, “I can…I can go and fetch them.” With a last fearful glance at Zazor, he fled the room.

 

Zazor

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:07:43

"You do that." He turned to face the other henchcats that were standing around and his look sent them scattering. there was a reason he was number one hench and it wasnt because he could gravel but his temper was matched only by Macavity himself.

After watching them scatter, he turned around and silently made his way back to the chamber his master was in and gently knocked on the door.

 

Macavity

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:09:00

Macavity heard the knock and excused himself from Demeter's side and made his way to the door. He opened it and found Zazor standing there. "Yes what is it? Have you news?"

 

Zazor

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:10:48

"Yes Master. Bonconlo is on it as we speak. Rest easy sir. He will not fail." Seeing the smile form across his mater's face made him smile as well. he then turned and left after recieving his dismissal.

As he walked, he contemplated what the next step ahould be. Could Bon be trusted? Only time would tell.

 

Macavity

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:11:59

After dismissing his friend, Macavity returned and took his place at Demeter's side. I have good news my dear. One of my best had heard of her and is trying to locate her as we speak. So no more worrying...okay?"

 

Demeter

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:42:20


Demeter nodded slowly, and pulled gently away from Macavity. She should have been happy. She should have been excited! But, although she was with the one that she loved, all she felt was a sort of emptiness in her heart that refused to go away.

She sank down onto the soft bed, staring at Macavity without really seeing him.

 

Macavity

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:54:31

Macavity watched as Demeter moved away from him and sat on the bed, looking back at her with a sort of emptiness in her eyes. "Whats the matter? Is this not what you wanted Demeter?"

 

Demeter

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:59:52

“Oh, no! This is exactly…I mean…I want to be here, I just…I feel a little sick…”

It wasn’t exactly a lie. Her stomach had begun to ache, even though she had already eaten her fill of the treats set out for her. And it didn’t feel like the normal belly aches she got from eating bad food, or too much food. It felt different…Like something inside of her was moving about…

She gave a sudden groan, and bent double, clutching her stomach

 

Macavity

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:30:51

Macavity watched as Demeter doubled over in pain. He immediately went to her side and took her in his arms. His eyes were full of emotion and panic. "What is my love? What can I do?" He looked around and then shouted at the top of his lungs. "Get some help in here...NOW!!!"

 

Zazor

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:32:58

Zazor heard his master's plea and yelled bcak towards the hench den. "Someone get help. The master calls."

With that he was off to Macavity's aid. He sprinted to the door and flung it open and stopped just short of the bed. "What is it Master?" He saw Demeter doubled over in pain. "Is she sick?"

 

Demeter

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:00:18

Demeter's vision was becoming blurred; the only thing she was clearly aware of was the stabbing pain in her stomach. She felt herself leaning against Macavity, and tried to lift her head; tried to tell him what she thought was wrong, but her head was too heavy and her vocal cords would not cooperate. With a soft cry of pain, she felt herself fall from Macavity's arms, and hit the ground. And then...All was black.

 

Macavity

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:41:45

Macavity was at a loss for what to do. He knealt down and lifted her up against his body and supported her head in his hands. "Please...Demeter. Wake up."

 

Demeter

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:28:51

~Several hours later~

Demeter woke on a soft, fluffy pillow that was nothing like the scruffy sheets she had in her den. Curious, she tried to sit up, but immediately groaned and lay back down. Her stomach was aching, and she felt as though she were going to throw up. As she lay helplessly on her side, she remembered what had happened, and where she was. She also remembered who she must be with. She looked around as best she could from her position, but she could not see Macavity anywhere. That was good. She needed time to collect her thoughts.

Until this very moment, she really hadn't been sure that she was pregnant. She had suspected that she was carrying Munkustrap's kittens for at least a week now, and had planned on telling him, but...too many things had happened. Now, however, she was positive. There could be no other explanation. But...She didn't want his kittens anymore! And if Macavity were to discover it...She didn't want to think about it. He would be furious, and his heart would break. She loved him too much to let that happen to him. No, it would be best to keep a secret for as long as she could.

 

Demeter

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:00:20

After about ten minutes of contemplating her situation, Demeter finally conjured up the strength to sit up. She heaved herself up, and promptly sat down on the pillow, her head reeling and her stomach threatening to turn itself inside out. She looked blearily up, and wished desperately that Macavity was there to hold her, and to make her feel at least a little better.

 

Zazor

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:11:25

Zazor was worried about his master's new queen and decided to see if she was hungry. He walked up to the door and knocked before entering. He saw the young female sitting up and decided that was a good sign. He approached her cautiously. "Excuse me...Mistress. Are you feeling any better? Can I get you anything?"

 

Demeter

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:07:17

Demeter shook her head wearily. Her heart had leapt at the sound of knocking, but had sunk again at the sight of Zazor walking in. It wasn't that she didn't like Zazor, although she didn't very much, but she was eager to see Macavity, and to make quite sure that he hadn't possibly guessed...But not even he could guess that. "No...Where is my Tom?"

 

Zazor

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:35:53

Zazor watched her eagerly and when she asked of Macavity's whereabouts, he lowered his head. "Im sorry Mistress. He stepped out and I do not know when he will be back. If you wont be needing anything...Ill leave you alone." Zazor bowed his head to her and stepped back outside her door. He couldnt help but wonder what was going on with the young Queen.

 

Demeter

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:19:50

Demeter lay back down on her pillow, moaning. "What am I going to do..." She wondered aloud. "If I tell Macavity I'm pregnant, he'll kill me...If I don't, he'll find out anyway, and kill me for not telling him..."

Complete hopelessness swept over her, and she buried her face in her paws, sobbing loudly and without shame.

 

Macavity

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:51:38

Macavity had time to dwell on all that has transpired and when he returned to his den, he saw Demeter sobbing into her paws. He approached her and sat down close by. "Are you feeling any better my love? is there anything I can do or snyone I can bring to you?"

 

Demeter

Fri, 01 May 2009 18:20:51

Demeter jumped at the sound of her Tom’s voice. “Macavity!”

With no extra thought for what Macavity might do, she flung her arms around him, and hugged him tightly. “No…I’m…fine…”

She drew away from him, and absent mindedly put her paws on her stomach. She could almost imagine the tiny kittens moving inside of her, and the thought sickened her.

 

Macavity

Fri, 01 May 2009 20:57:47

Macavity was elated that she put her arms around him. It made him feel happy and that is something he has been lacking in his life for some time. He then noticed her grab at her stomach and a sickening thought came into mind. He decided that he would get it out of her and not attack her as he usually would. He moved closer to her and gazed into her eyes. "Demeter...my love. Is there something you want to tell me? You know that you can tell me anything and I will understand." He then placed a paw on her shoulder and gently squeezed to the point of her feeling the tip of one of his claws. "I will be able to see if you lie so please...be honest."

 

Demeter

Sun, 03 May 2009 17:49:00

Demeter's heart sank deep into the pit of her stomach. She felt Macavity's claw press into her shoulder, and knew this was likely to be her last moment alive. He would surely kill her after she told him, which she had to. "Macavity...My love...I...I think I'm pregnant...By Munkustrap..."

Tears began to gush out her eyes, and down her cheeks. "But I don't want to be!"

 

Macavity

Sun, 03 May 2009 20:53:23

Macavity felt his anger rise inside at hearing his brother's name. he then saw the tear running down her cheek and he took a deep breath and then looked at her and nodded. "You dont...why not? You truly hate him that much?"

 

Demeter

Mon, 04 May 2009 18:59:21

"I...I don't know! But I don't love him! And I don't want his kittens, Macavity!" Demeter was practically hyperventilating now. "I want your kittens! I feel just thinking abut having his kittens! I don't want them! I don't love them or him! I love you!"

 

Macavity

Mon, 04 May 2009 21:07:31

Macavity looked deep into her eyes as she spoke and he could see no lie. In fact he could see that she meant every word she had said. He felt a warm surge of emotion and smiled as he put his arms around Demeter. "Lets not worry about that right now. I'll take care of it when the time comes. You dont have to ever see him again...I promise this to you...my love." He then leaned in close and kissed her full. His love for her apparent on his face as his eyes closed. He could feel his heart beating against his chest and knew she could too.

 

Demeter

Tue, 05 May 2009 11:26:22

Demeter leaned into Macavity's kiss, her desperate sobs softening to silent tears. She could feel Macavity's heart beat against her chest, bouncing off of hers in similar rhythm. As they finally drew apart, Demeter lay her head against Macavity's chest, burying her face in his fur. Her heart ached with guilt. She had betrayed Macavity's trust. He asked for nothing except her love and devotion, and she had denied him those simple things. He was even offering to protect her from Munkustrap! It was too much, too much that she did not deserve. "Macavity...I...I love you so much, but...I don't deserve this...I don't deserve any of this...I don't deserve you.

 

Macavity

Tue, 05 May 2009 13:31:49

"Hush now...you deserve this and more. You are my queen and I'll never let any harm come to you." He let his words sink in before speaking again. "I have some news on your friend...I have a few of my associates working on locating her for me. It shouldnt be too long before we have some news."

Macavity gently pulled them apart so he could look Demeter in the eyes again. "You arent thinking of running away again...are you?"

 

Demeter

Wed, 06 May 2009 10:09:13

Demeter shook her head quickly, her face serious. “I would NEVER run away from you now, my love…I love you too much.”

Then she caught the bit about Jemimia, and sat up, her attention caught. “Oh…That’s good.”


 

Macavity

Wed, 06 May 2009 20:43:18

Macavity smiled after hearing Demeter's response. He looked at her and then spoke. "I believe you. So this is what I am going to do. You are free to go anywhere in the lair of your choosing. You may ask anything on my henchcats that you desire. Your word is my word. How does that make you feel?"

 

Demeter

Thu, 07 May 2009 10:35:06

Demeter gave Macavity a radiant smile. “That sounds perfect…”
She uncoiled her arms from around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek one last time. “Thank you for this…All of this.”

 

Macavity

Thu, 07 May 2009 20:57:16

"It's a small price to pay for your love." He felt her pull back from him and kiss his cheek again. He had dreamed of this ever since she had left him before. "You are my queen, therefor you are thier queen as well. They cant touch you or let any harm come to you. Or they will answer to me."

 

Demeter

Fri, 08 May 2009 10:59:02

Demeter smiled, "You don't have to do anything to earn my love. You already have it."

 

Macavity

Fri, 08 May 2009 21:38:13

With a smile on his face Macavity plaed a paw on hers. "Im not doing this because Im trying to earn your love. You misunderstand. I am telling you this because you are my queen and entitled to the power that goes along with it."

 

Demeter

Mon, 11 May 2009 12:04:36

Demeter purred, and gently rubbed her head against Macavity’s squeezing his paw. “Mmm….I see…I have power over your Henchcats?”

She wasn’t quite sure how she felt about that idea. On one hand, she wasn’t very fond at all of the Henchcats, and would prefer to stay as far away from them as possible. On the other, with that kind of power, she might be able to reform them, make them more like the Jellicles, more loving, and more caring.

 

Macavity

Mon, 11 May 2009 21:28:23

Macavity could hear Demeter purring and felt her squeezing his paw. He smiled as she asked about her power. "Yes my dear. You do. But remember...I am still the boss."

 

Demeter

Tue, 12 May 2009 10:05:36

Demeter faked a smile, realizing that her plans for reforming the Henchcats might just have been destroyed. "I know that, of course..."

 

Macavity

Tue, 12 May 2009 13:27:55

"If you remember that...then I wont have to watch over you. So...my Queen." He bowed his head to her in reverance. "What is your first command?"

 

Bonconlo

Wed, 13 May 2009 09:10:49

Bonconlo burst into the den, taking Jemimia out of Rumpleteazer's arm, and supporting her himself. "Macavity! We found the...." He trailed off, his eyes widened at the tender scene before him.

 

Demeter

Wed, 13 May 2009 09:12:47

Demeter gave a cry of dispare, and jumped off of the bed, hurrying to the disfigured form of the kitten she had once known and loved. "Jemimia! Jemimia! What's wrong with her?! What happened?!"

She grabbed the kitten away from Bonconlo, and lay her gently on the bed, a tear running down her cheek. "She's not...She can't be...Please tell me that she's alive!"

 

Macavity

Wed, 13 May 2009 10:16:56

Macavity hearing the sorrow in his queen's voice looked first at the kitten and then his hench. His anger flared and he crossed the room and was standing mere inches from Bonconlo's face. Bearing his fangs as he spoke, Macavity glared. "YOU...heard Demeter. WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS KITTEN?"

 

Zazor

Wed, 13 May 2009 10:18:39

Just then Zazor entered the room. HIs eyes were wide as he witnessed his master's anger first hand. He glanced at Teazer and swallowed hard. Leaning close to the female Calico, he whispered in her ear. "What happened? She was fine the last tiem I saw her?"

 

Rumpleteazer

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:32:24

Rumpleteazer started to shift uncomfortably back and forth as she saw the scene unfold before her. The feeling that was rising inside of her was not familiar to her. She wasn't used to feeling ashamed about anything she did, but now, seeing the little kitten lying helpless on the bed, she was beginning to feel that, perhaps, she had let her emotions get the best of her.

"Well...She got trapped in an abandoned Human home all by herself for about two weeks....I don't even know how she survived for this long without dying..." Teazer whispered back to Zazor.

 

Demeter

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:53:39

Demeter's head was spinning. She couldn't tell what was real, and what was not, or even if she was awake.

"Jemimia..." She muttered dumbly, swaying back and forth, her paw resting on the little kitten's chest, which was still just barely rising and falling.

 

Bonconlo

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:56:39

"I....Don't get mad at me! It's not my fault!" Bonconlo cried, throwing his paws over his head.

"It was Rumpleteazer! She was the one who let her get hurt!"

 

Zazor

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:50

"Trapped you say? That's not good. And I take it that you had something to do with it as well."

He waited for her reply as his eyes remained locked on Bon and Macavity. Easy master....there still may be use for him yet...He leaned back in close to Teazer.

"I hope you have an excellent explanation for it because you are next...my dear."

Zazor stepped away from the female Calico and took a position near the door in case she tries to flee and watches the scene play out before him.

 

Macavity

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:16:09

Macavity turned his gaze towards Teazer and then extends his paw and points to her. From between clinched fangs his voice reverberated his anger.

"Don't even think about moving from that spot. What have you to say for yourself? And be honest for it not only will spell your doom but his as well. Now....SPEAK!!!"

 

Rumpleteazer

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:15:54

Teazer squealed loudly as the Hidden Paw called her out. She turned around quickly, but the only exit was now blocked by Zazor.

"I...I didn't mean to do it!" She whispered quietly.

She had always been rather good at lying and she hoped to the Everlasting Cat that her skills wouldn't fail her now. She shook from top to bottom, waiting for his reply.

 

Bonconlo

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:18:21

Bon stared, dumbstruck, at Teazer. How could she stand there and just lie, when she knew very well how much was at stake?!

 

Macavity

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:02:49

"What did you not mean to do? Leave her behind...stranded?" Macavity noticed the pair were not on the same page and that continuing this would only upset Demeter even more. He closed his eyes for a second and gathered his anger before speaking. "Zazor....take this sniveling whelp out of my sight until I call."

He watched as his trusted friend did as he was told and once they were gone, he moved over to Teazer's side where he placed his large paws on her shoulder. The feeling of a quivering female always made him smile.

He then glanced to Demeter before speaking to the Calico queen. "So...Teazer. Start at the beginning and try not to leave any details out." As he spoke, he brushed his claw lightly under her chin scratching it slightly but not leaving a mark.

 

Zazor

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:05:21

Zazor escorted Bonconlo out into the corridor and then to the common area where the other henches were relaxing. He gazed into Bon's eyes and then spoke.

"What did you do this time? If you arent careful...I wont even be able to save you."

He continued to stare at the hench and then spoke up again.

"Tell me what you know and maybe I can help you out of this one."

 

Bonconlo

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:53:30

Bonconlo glanced back over his shoulder, at the closed door he had just been dragged out of. He wanted to be back in there, at his little Queen's side.

"It has nothing to do with me...All I know is that Rumpleteazer got jealues of Jemimia and she disapeeared just a few weeks ago. I think Teazer locked her in a house...That's where we found her..."

 

Rumpleteazer

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:10

Rumpleteazer trembled andwhimpered as Macavity ran his sharp claw along her neck. Where was Mungojerrie?! As much as she insisted that she was independent and didn't need his help, he was only hope to be saved now.

"I...I'm sorry! I was only trying to protect what's mine....What that little brat stole from me!"

 

Demeter

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:08:15

"Brat?!"

Something finally clicked in Demeter's head, and she whirled around, staring daggers at the theiving Queen who had hurt an inocent little Queen. "YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE!"

She ran forward, pushing Macavity out of the way in order to scratch and bit and claw at every bit of Teazer that she could reach.

 

Zazor

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:08:57

Zazor listened to his bewildered friend and felt sympathy for his situation. He stepped closer to Bonconlo and placed a paw on his shoulder.

"Be vigilant my friend. master will get to the bottom of it and you will be reunited with Jem. Trust in that."

Zazor looked back towards the room they had left and was wondering what was going on.

 

Macavity

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:15:13

Macavity was a bit taken by Teazer's comment about protecting her possessions and when Demeter come flying past and springing on Teazer, well he watched for a few seconds and then realized that Demeter could harm herself and that wasnt good. He immediately grabbed her and separated the two queens and wrapped a massive arm around Dem so she couldnt go back after the calico.

"Easy Dem...we'll get to the bottom of this."

He then looked at Teazer and a sinister smile formed on his lips.

"Dont evem think about moving from that spot. Zazor! Bring Bonconlo back in here!"

Macavity looked at Demeter and gave her a look of "let me handle this and rest easy" and then released her before approaching Teazer again.

"Now tell me what it was you were protecting from this little frail queen? What could she have done to you?"

 

Zazor

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:17:12

Zazor heard Macavity call and helped Bon back into the room where they saw Macavity circling Teazer with an intense glare in his eyes.

"I have brought him as instructed Master."

He caught the satisfied nod from his fierce-some master and settled in for the show.

 

Rumpleteazer

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:56:48

Teazer backed herself against a wall, despite the glares from Macavity. She was already bleeding in several places, and Demeter looked as though she would quite easily murder her, if she got the chance. Still, she spoke, watching Bonconlo as he was led in.
“She stole my Tom from me…Jemimia came in, and stole him away from me! Why?! What did you see in that little hussy that you didn’t see in me?!” She screamed.

 

Bonconlo

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:59:06

Bonconlo winced as he felt the words that Teazer had thrown at him, hard and violent as knives.

“I’m not a thing to be had, Teazer!” He yelled. “It’s none of your business, and you’d better hope to Everlasting Cat that Macavity kills you, because if he doesn’t, I will! And trust me, it’ll be much more painful!”

 

Demeter

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:04:24

Demeter struggled against Macavity’s strong grip, wanting to hurt, to kill. As she fought, her eyes fell back to the still, inert figure of Jemimia. She was no longer breathing. She let out a long, drawn out scream, a scream of pain deeper than any physical action could cause.

“NO! MAC, LET ME GO! LET ME GO!”

 

Demeter

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:08:18

As soon as Macavity’s arms were gone from around her, she ran forward, and grabbed the little Queen’s lifeless body, shaking her, trying to bring back what was already long gone.
“No…Jemimia….Please…”
Tears spilled from her eyes onto Jemimia’s body as she wailed, clutching at the Queen’s paws, her face, any part of her to which she could hold onto.

 

Zazor

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:46:13

Zazor watched the drama unfold and when Bon threatened Teazer, a smile formed on his face. It was then that he saw Demeter clawing her way free from his master and she ran to the kitten that was lying helpless on the floor.

"Mistress! Dont move her."

He ran to Demeter's side and offered assistance to help the dying queen.

 

Macavity

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:55:45

As Demeter fought against his grip, she was getting more and more riled up and he finally gave up and released her. He watched as she ran to Jemimia's side. He figured she was a lost cause but it hurt him to see Demeter this way.

He turned his attention back to the feuding pair and his anger was building up inside. His fangs were starting to show as his breathing became heavier.

"QUIET!!! This bickering is getting us nowhere. Now...Bonconlo silence. And Teazer you are to remain where you are until we can see if Jememia will pull through."

He then raised his head and projected his voice to all his henchs in the lair. "To all my loyal followers...no one is to be let in or out of the lair until I say..."

With that said he glanced at them one by one and then moved over to Demeter's side. "Hows she doing?"

 

Demeter

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:17:41

Demeter was shaking all over, trembling down to her last bit of fur with fright and horror. She grabbed the little Queen's wrist, and began to wail once more, for Jemimia had no pulse.

"She's...gone..."

She turned, unable to bear the sight of Jemimia's lifeless body, and buried her face in macavity's chest, sobbing loudly, and almost without drawing breath.

 

Macavity

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:23:02

Macavity moved over and took Demeter in his arms and held her tight against his chest.

"It will be ok my queen. What would you have done with your offenser? I will leave her punishment in your paws."

He then glanced over at the disjointed couple and then focused directly on Teazer. His gaze looked as if it would cut her.

"You're future is in Demeter's hands now. If you have anything to say...then now would be a good time."

 

Mungojerrie

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:34:59

Unknown to anyone else in the room, Mungojerrie had been watching the scene from a nearby window. It was hard to hear through the thick glass, but he could just make out Macavity's words as he glared at Teazer. Now was obviously the time to make his enterence.

"Leave her alone!"

Jerrie pushed the window open (Surprisingly enough, it was unlocked) and sprung onto the carpet. He had always been a fan of effect, and this was quite heroic looking in his eyes. He could hardly keep himself from smiling as he growled, "Get away from my sister!"

 

Rumpleteazer

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:38:31

"Oh, Jerrie..."

Rumpleteazer stared weakly at her younger (If only by a few moments) brother. He had probably just doomed them both to a painful, and premature death. "Jerrie, you're an idiot."

 

Demeter

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:42:39

Demeter just about jumped out of her skin when the mottled calico male appeared beside her. Her head was spinning with all that was happening, too much, too fast. Jemimia was dead, Rumpleteazer had killed her, Bonconlo was the reason, Mungojerrie was trying to be a bloody hero, and it was all up to her was happened to them. It was too much, she couldn't handle it....But...Then again, was this to be her job now? As Macavity's Queen, would she be expected to deal with this sort of blood and treachory all the time?! She couldn't take that sort of responsibility!

"I...I....I don't care! Just....Get rid of them....I don't ever want to see any of them ever again..."

 

Macavity

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:56:45

Macavity looked to Demeter and was a bit surprised by her lack of action. He motioned his henchcats to allow the pair to leave.

"Teazer...Jerrie. Leave here and never return. If I or one of my followers ever see you, you will learn a new definition of pain. Now Go!!"

Mac turned back to his queen and pulled her close and attempted to console her. he loved her and would give her anything that she wanted.

"Demeter...is there anything I can do for you?"

 

Zazor

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:58:00

Zazor did as he was instructed. He moved away from the door and gave the pair room to leave and would follow them to the exit and make sure they didnt try to return.

"You heard Macavity. I suggest you leave now."

 

Rumpleteazer

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:22:58

*The twins scurry off*

 

Demeter

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:26:12

Demeter shook her head slowly, leaning against her lover's warm chest. "Just...Don't leave me...I want to stay here, with you...Away from Munkustrap and Bombalurina and...and...Everyone..."

She had hesitated as her mind had wondered to another young kitten whom she had taken care of- Etcetra. Where was she now? Was she worried about her caretaker's disappearence? Likely not...She was a Queen now, and didn't need a mother...

 

Macavity

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:23:32

As Demeter leaned in close and spoke, his heart began to beat faster. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tight.

"You dont have to go anywhere. I promise you...my love."

He motioned for the others in the room to exit and then focused his attention on his queen. He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the warm softness of her new bed and placed her in it.

"Just rest now Demeter. You have nothing to fear here."

 

Plato

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 16:02:15

Plato came running in, Barely missing the twins as they fled. He stopped when he saw the scene. Demeter, His father and Jemima. His breath caught in his throat, Jemima, No... not Jemmi. "Dad, Wha-Whats happened?"

 

Macavity

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 16:02:49

Macavity turned to see his son entering and felt a sense of relief to see him. He looked to Jememia's lifeless form on the floor and then looked to Plato.

"It would appear that Teazer took her jealousy out on this pour kitten over the love of Bonconlo. She tried to justify herself and through Demeter's forgiveness, was given a second chance but only as long as she and her brother remain out of my sight."

He gave Dem another gentle squeeze and then forced a smile for his son's benefit.

"Plato...it is good to see you. How is Victoria? Is she well?"

 

Plato

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:10:50

"Well, That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I don't think I can keep my s-secret from her anymore. And I don't know what to do." Plato sat down on the floor. "I can't give her or the are house up."

 

Demeter

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:51:02

Demeter frowned, utterly confused. Plato was a Jellicle cat, found by Munkustrap when he was only a kitten...Wasn't he?

"Mac...What's going on?"

 

Macavity

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 09:14:55

Macavity looked into the eyes of his queen and a gentle looking smile formed.

"Plato is my son. He is both a Jellicle and mine. Dont forget that I was a Jellicle once."

He stepped back from her and fully faced his son.

"Son...you must do what your heart tells you. You will always have a home here."

 

Demeter

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 08:38:44

"But...Where did he come from? Who is his mother?"

Demeter watched Plato cautiously. She had never been too close to the mottled brown Tom- he had always, for reasons that even she could not explain, been afraid of him. He had reminded her of Macavity- Now she knew why.

 

Macavity

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:09:49

Macavity looked into Demeter's eyes and thought about what to say to her. He had never thought about Plato's mother so much before this moment.

"She was special to me. But she is gone now and I have no idea where she went. We no longer communicate as we have lost contact."

He pulled Demeter close and held her tightly.

"You are everything to me now. You are my only queen in this world"

 

Demeter

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:52:00

A flash of anger swam through Demeter at the sound of the fact that Macavity had been with other Queens, but it quickly went away when he hugged her.

"...Can I go outside for a moment? I feel rather ill..."

It was true. Her stomach was churning like crazy.

 

Macavity

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:31:42

Macavity looked at Demeter and released her from his grip.

"Of course you can my love."

He looked to Plato and beckoned him to accompany her and then his eyes moved to Zazor and he gave him the same message without saying a word.

"Not feeling well again? Are you okay?"

 

Demeter

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 13:12:30

"No! I mean...Yes, but...Can I go out alone?"

Her eyes darted between the two Toms that were moving to flank her.

"I just...I would feel more comfertable if I was on my own."

 

Macavity

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 18:39:55

Macavity looked to his henches and nodded to them and then looked to his new queen.

"Very well my love. You can go outside alone. But know this...eyes will be watching you, even if you do not see them."

He lowered his head to her and smiled as he turned back to his son.

"Plato...my son. I think it is time to bring your queen here. The time is right for it now."

 

Plato

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:49:21

Bring Victoria, Here? It wasn't that he didn't think she'd leave him for it, but most toms didn't respect other toms queens. And Vicky was so pure, If any other toms got a hold of her...
