It has been a year since Grizabella the Glamour cat was chosen by Old Deuteronomy to be reborn and journey to the Heavyside Layer. Now it is time for the next Jellicle to be chosen, however the appearance of a new cat threatens the old ti...
Bomba leaned back as she howled in laughter at the joke Cori had just cracked.
"That was terrible, but brilliant!" She exclaimed as she wiped underneath her eye. "What other jokes have you got held back?"
"Well, I learned this one from Etcetera, knock knock." Coricopat chuckled, his eyes glittering with joy.
"Who's there?" Bombalurina responded eagerly.
"Etch."
"Etch who?" Bomba chuckled, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Bless you!" Cori snickered. As soon as the red queen caught on, she erupted into laughter once again.
"Oh! I get it!" She yowled. The pair snorted in amusement and Cori rolled onto his back, swinging his legs into the air. Mistoffelees crawled into the den, his eyes darting about searching for a cat or two in particular. When his eyes landed upon Cori, he trotted over and patted the tom on the shoulder to grab his attention.
"Sorry to disturb you..." Misto mumbled meekly. Cori stopped laughing but continued smiling as he turned to face the magic cat.
"Hey Misto!" He greeted brightly. Misto gave a curt nod before going on.
"I need to talk to you about what you and Tanto said earlier." Misto uttered, hoping that no-one else would hear. Coricopat's mouth formed an 'O' shape as he recalled the conversation he and his sister had with Mistoffelees during the day. Cori nodded and urged the tuxedo tom to go on. "Were you trying to warn me about Caligo?" Misto questioned. For a brief moment, Coricopat closed his eyes in thought and scrunched up his nose as he tried to recall the feeling he had experienced.
"I'm sorry Misto, I don't really know. Mine and Tantomile's psychic episodes are different from one another, I have feelings whereas she has sort of blurry visions. I had a feeling someone...or others, would arrive tonight but Tanto didn't really have any visions...it's hard to explain." Cori croaked. By now his smile had dropped and his expression had turned to more troubled. "Sorry..."
"No, I understand." Misto responded. "Thank you anyway." With that he scampered away. Cori heaved a sigh before walking back over to Bombalurina.
All of a sudden, his insides knotted up, a sickening wave that screamed 'DANGER!' over came him. He clenched his paws, claws digging into his pads as this feeling like no other took over. Dread, fear, trouble. It was overpowering. Across the clearing, in another den, a similar aura gripped at Tantomile. Her vision was a blurry mess of flashes and sparks. It ended all to quickly however, a matter of seconds to be exact, but now they knew, a powerful force of danger was looming in the distance.
