Mystic the Adorable Kitten

Chapter 5

(Jennyanydots to the right)

Mystic's Pov

It was nighttime and I was in Jennyanydots's den, she was looking at my paws, they were burnt but not badly burnt. Tugger literally carried me to her den because I refused and I was crying. Munk was sitting on my right, Tugger was on my left and Misto was behind me. Everyone else was outside the den wondering how bad my condition was. Jenny was still wrapping my paw up in some old gauze she had. I was sniffling and whimpering because I'm completely scarred for life now and scared half to death. I know Misto's not gonna let me outside the den now but......Everlasting, I don't wanna go outside the den! Macavity might come and try to take again, thank Everlasting cat, he couldn't this time because I wasn't alone.

After Jenny finished wrapping up my paws, Munk picked me up this time, bridal style.

"Make sure he's protected as usual, you guys." She said but then she started glaring at Tugger.

"What?" He said and I looked over Munk's shoulder to see Jenny.

"I don't trust you with him." She said. I didn't see anything or hear anything else after that because walked out her den. I closed my eyes as soon as everyone stood up and asked if I was okay. I fell into a deep sleep.

Tugger's Pov

"I don't trust you with him." She said voice full of venom.

"Why? I mean I actually went out there and fought Macavity!" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"I know that! But when you were a kitten, you were never carefree! You cared about everyone, when Mystic came here with Mistoffelees and Victoria, you played with him, then you stopped leaving the poor kit alone for a while! What happened?!"

I stared at her. All the stuff she said was true and to be honest I don't know why I stopped playing with him. He was so sweet and innocent back then.....he still is.

"I don't know what happened! But how can you say you don't trust me with him?"

"I say this because you are carefree when it comes to feelings. If you hurt his feelings, you'll have to deal with Misto, Munk, and anyone that cares about him. Don't tease him either, he's still a kitten!" Jenny said strictly. "At the kitten stage, their feelings are very sensitive and some of their emotions can be dangerous especially when it comes to magical cats like Mystic and Misto." Jenny said with sadness in her eyes and in her voice.

"I understand, Jenny. I'll try." I said smiling.

"You better. Now get out!" She said.

I walked out of her den and instantly saw my fan club heading towards me. They were smiling like Macavity never came. They mewled and squeak, nuzzling my thighs.

"Tugger, dance for us please?" Electra said purring.

"You haven't danced for us for a while." Etcetera said nuzzling my thigh, I know they're newly queens but I can't seem to feel turned on by them. I sighed and gave them a charming smile.

"Oh, alright." I said hooking thumbs in my belt and started swiveling my hips, thrusting my pelvis in their faces. They did what they usually did, squeal. After 30 minutes of dancing, they finally let me go......well actually had to run away from them. They were chasing after a few hours they got tired and I finally went into my tree den. I plopped down onto my bed, tired as Everlasting. My eyes started to drift close, becoming heavier and heavier soon after I was deep asleep.

Mystic's Dream

No! No! No! I don't wanna go! I don't wanna and you can't make me!!

Running, running, running and even more running but I was getting nowhere. All I see is pitch black darkness. I stop running and turned around to see Misto and Victoria on the ground, lifeless and pale.

Misto! Victoria! NOOOOOOO!!!!! I'M ALL ALONE!!!! NO ONE TO TAKE CARE OF ME! NO ONE TO HOLD ME!!!!! I'M ALL ALONE!!!!

I hear a maniacal laughter and turned around to see Macavity. I screamed loudly holding sides of my head.

Munkustrap's Pov

"Mystic, wake up! You're having a nightmare! Wake up!" I said putting my hands in his shoulders trying to shake him awake. He won't, he tossing and turning violently. Whimpering and sweating and mumbling that he's alone. I shook him harder until he gasped and opened his eyes.

"Where am i?" He had tears in his eyes, I wiped his tears away.

"You're in your den. You were having a nightmare. Was it about......dare I say it.....Macavity?" He nodded and scooted closer to me. He started crying all over again, sobbing, I wrapped my arms around him and stroked his head. He started to calm down and his sobs turned into sniffles.

"I was so alone. He killed my sister and brother. I was all alone. Hearing his insane laughter." He buried his face in my chest and whimpered. "I don't wanna go!"

"You're not." I said softly, rubbing his back in comfort. "You're safe here in the junkyard far away from him. He didnt kill Victoria or Misto, they're still alive." I put my head on top of his, closing my eyes and rocking him. Soon after an hour or so, he fell asleep and I laid him down on his bed. I stayed next to him until Misto came in.

"How was he when he woke up?" He asked sitting down next to him, pulling he covers over his small sleeping body.

I sighed. "He's having nightmares. Bad ones, violent ones. I think it's best for him to stay in the den until he's ready to come out. Plus, I think it's best for you or Victoria to stay with him." I explained.

"Is his dreams about Macavity?" Misto asked looking at me with tears streaming down his cheeks. "I'll do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't take him away from me! He may be our father but I'm more of a father to Mystic than he'll ever be!" His voice was breaking then he started sobbing, putting his his head on Mystic's shoulder, not waking him up. I walked over to him and rubbed his back.

Victoria came through the curtain, she's a pure white cat,tip of her ears are black, pink nose and wearing a pink collar. She rushed right over them and sat down on the other side of Mystic, she was so worried, she started crying too. Scared for her brothers, unlike them, she doesn't have any magical powers. Her talent was flexibility and dance.

I watched the scene go on, Victoria and Mistoffelees crying while Mystic is sleeping. Mystic is gonna be traumatized for as long as he knows about Macavity. Even though he fought against him alongside his brother, he's pretty shook up. Showing bravery is his best quality. When he's old enough he's gonna probably be the bravest of all Jellicles.

I walked out of their den and into my own. Demeter was sleep, she was still scared of Macavity because he raped her last year. She has been able to sense when Macavity gonna come. I crawled onto our bed and she scooted closer to me, wrapped my arms around her and drifted into a deep sleep.
