The adolescent kittens sprinted back to the dens, meowing loudly in hopes to wake everyone.
"Help! Come quick!" Etcetera screeched. Immediately, cats began pouring from their dens, slightly sleepy and utterly confused.
"Here, what's all this commotion for?" Skimbleshanks the railway cat meowed as he emerged from the older cat's den.
"There's a Pollicle! The other side of the scrap pile!" Victoria croaked. Plato hurried over to her and wrapped his tail around her waist protectively.
"Wait, where is Jemima?" Alonzo questioned, his eyes scanning over the gathering cats.
"Mungojerrie is missing as well..." Tumblebrutus frowned.
"And Rumpleteazer! That's how we found the Pollicle, we were searching for Rumpleteazer." Etcetera explained. Munkustrap listened to the young cats intently as they retold the events, Jemima had stayed behind to continue searching for the missing sibling cats whilst the others returned for help.
"We have to go and help them!" Tugger announced. Etcetera, Electra and Victoria nodded firmly in agreement. Etcetera wandered over to the curious cat and nuzzled her head against his shoulder, across the way, Tumblebrutus and Pouncival rolled their eyes at their sister's affection towards the terrible bore.
"Let's not waste anymore time!" Munkustrap stepped forward, urging the rest of the group to follow. Tugger was about to join his brother at his side when Munkustrap stopped him. "You're staying here, you'll cause more damage than the Pollicle." With that, Munkustrap lead the way with Jennyanydots, Skimbleshanks and Alonzo by his side. Victoria, Plato and Electra followed close behind and Etcetera fell into step with her brothers.
"Did you see Mungo and Teazer?" Pouncival questioned, his voice low.
"No..." Etcetera replied. Tumblebrutus patted his sister's back with his paw trying to comfort her. Out of the blue, Cassandra stalked past. Her movements like fluid, her short haired body sleek and shiny. Tumblebrutus' eyes followed her swishy body, yet the female queen took no notice.
"Oh Tumble..." Etcetera and Pouncival began in unison, knowing exactly what their brother was thinking.
"Shh..." He hissed, silencing his slightly younger siblings. Cassandra had made her way over to Admetus whom was clowning around as usual. The grey and white tom was very much like his friend Pouncival, they were always getting scolded by Jennyanydots for their clownish behavior.
"It looks like you've got competition, Tumble." Pouncival snickered, pointing towards Admetus and Cassandra whom were striding away from the group.
The siblings continued on in silence for the duration of the journey to where Jemima was left. Etcetera was worried sick for her friend and she felt horrible for not staying.
