With an ear pressed against the door Gridd heard everything, Another female ? Sister to the Main Coon she had briefly spotted ? What the skat was going on ?She heard footsteps and for a brief instant thought Misto was going to the door. Without thinking it she jumped up, grabbed the crossbeam, and pulled herself onto the thing and still listening, this time next to a heating vent that stopped at each room to provide warmth or cooling air during the warm and winter seasons she heard everything clearer and louder.
Misto was hurting, and then again he was a magical feline after all. That was what drew the pristine white queen to the magical cat in the first place. So why was he concerned abouyt the Main Coon ? But from what it also sounded like, Misto himself was hurt somehow and required help from another ? A Queen from what it sounded like. Well great. Another queen, just what she needed. Just her luck. Misto was hers!
Or so she thought....
Griddlebone continued to listen in on the seemingly private conversation between Misto, Tugger and Tantomile.

(ooc:just a short post to keep it active) Quaxo's eyes locked on Tugger's ravaged face. He had never wanted him to find out this way & he'd take triple the pain & punishment if he could make this stop! Abruptly, he pulled his injured paws away from Tantomile, flashing her an apologetic look as he stalked over to the side of the room to stare at the skylight in the screaming silence. He noted the first touches of dawn creeping though the gloomy perpetual fog of London. In a tight aching voice, he said, "Most henches sleep during the day, the best time to get you, my lady & your. .brother out of here is at midday when the guards will be more lax."

The skinny black and blonde leopard tom scowled at Misto's comment. "You are not getting it are you? I am not leaving until you come with me" Tugger was as stubborn as he was loyal. The leopard tom was not easily swayed when he wanted something.

Tantomile nodded silently at Mistofelees' answer. The she turned herself again towards Tugger. She scrutinized her sibling in long chilly way, emanating her confidence and authority like a dark presence. again she nodded before she asked in her whispery voice.
"Since the magician has decided to stay here and leave the tribe, as he made clear, so you decide as well to join HIM, so you can stay with the magician?"
She paused ominously, before she drew a deep breath. Like a spark in the dark night her oppressing presence vanished and left only the dark calico form standing with her softly glowing eyes hooded.
"I will leave the warehouse as the magician suggest, brother. Should I tell father that he has lost another one of his sons?"

The blonde Maine Coon did not take well to idle threats. "Of course not Tantomile" He growled angrily. He stood and limped closer to her. "You have got to be kidding me if you think this is all peaches and cream. One of ours is in trouble damn it!" He was not stupid....just incredibly stubborn. "He is not here all on his own accord Tanto...if you believe that, you are insane. " He turned to Mistoffelees and limped towards him. Getting chest to chest with him. His dark brown eyes full of anger and hurt. "You would never be here without a reason. I want to know what it is. IF I feel it is a good and truthful reason I will leave..on my own" He hushed his voice so Tantomile would not over hear. He bent his neck and his face was inches from the black and white tuxedos. "You can't tell me you left us, especially when things were falling into place" He whispered. He looked from Misto's eyes to his lips then back to his eyes. "What is going on??"

Quaxo froze confronted by Tugger's nearness & heat. Involuntarily he brought his head closer to the leopard tom's, his lips opening for a long, achingly tender kiss. Then he pulled sharply back as an unexpected spark of energy shot from his fingers to sizzle against Tugger's ruff. It didn't seem to do any damage, but Quaxo retreated--fast, letting out a soft cry of despair. He sought comfort from the calm presence of Tantomile, hoping she would understand.
In a scarcely recognizable voice he answered. "That's why! My powers are growing stronger--more out of control. Someone has tampered with them. I need to see if it can be reversed! Until then, I am a danger to all that I love." He looked at Tugger, all of hell in his gaze. "Shortly before I left the yard, I began having blackouts during the full moon. Then one day during the summer, I awoke next to the charred body of a cat, I don't know who it was, or if I was responsible for his death, but I looked at that body & saw. . you." Pleadingly, he looked at Tantomile then back at Tugger & added softly, "Don't you see? If I couldn't remember, then that body could have easily been someone I loved. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hurt You. . or. . or any of the others. What if I had touched off a great fire?? Or destroyed the healer's den? Or Cat forbid, what if I had destroyed the nursery? I had to leave!" The tuxedo tom broke off, sweating profusely at the remembered panic, then continued. "Macavity has given me a sanctuary where if an accident were to happen, it won't devastate the yard. In return, I promised I wouldn't hinder his schemes, but I also pledged, I would not help them either--especially not against the yard!" Slowly, he sat, spent & drooping. He wrapped his arms around himself for comfort, unsure of if he'd made his point or not & feeling utterly wretched.

Tantomile closed her eyes, when Tugger's anger washed over her. Though she remained stoic on the outside, Tugger had at least touched if not hit a sensitive spot inside her mind. Almost inaudible she whispered to herself.
"The magician would not be the first one to decide that way and I lost one more dear to my heart than you will ever know to that decision already and there was nothing I could do..."
Then she listened silently to Mistofelees explanation. Only her eyes showed any kind of reaction to his story, especially when he told the, that he feared to have lost control over his powers.
After he had finished she contemplated shortly her response before she whispered in her calm voice.
"Magician, though I can understand your fear and panic, why did'#t you at least talk to one in the tribe - To our leader or even myself. I might ... I still might be able to help you regain the control you seek. Regardless the difference, there are ways to calm the mind and restore ones awareness of self. Those I could have taught you. "
Softly she continued.
"Besides, I am sure the tribe would have stood by you to help you..."

Tugger's eyes went from demanding to aching. Especially when he felt| the heat in Mistoffelees lips. The smelled the slight singe of his vest. He patted if out. It was really not that bad. "Misto" Tugger stepped forward when Misto jumped back. He listened to Misto's story. His heart broke. He nodded at Tantomile's response. "Exactly Misto, why not come to US first? We are your family. We would help you. Dad would have found some way, Tanto would have helped. " Tugger tried reassuring him. He made a mental note to apologize to his sister later. Coricopat meant more to her then anything. "Come back with us Misto" Tugger asked.

Quaxo listened to their pleas with a remembered sense of feeling trapped. He knew they would have done their best to help, that was one of the reasons he loved them all so much. A large part of him longed to go home--to be the cat he was before the death of that unknown cat changed everything, but it was too late. With an effort he brought his head up, looking at them squarely. "Until I get control of myself & my abilities or lose my mystical ability completely, I would not be able to return to the yard." Quaxo said quietly. "I am weak, perhaps, but it would destroy me if I killed or even injured one of my loved ones." He spoke with a simple dignity, his silvery gold eyes locking on Tugger's brown ones with a shy sensual promise, then shifted to meet Tantomile's gaze as well. "However, if you are truly willing to stand by me--even now, I am willing to meet with you outside of both the yard & the warehouse. " The slender tom went to Tugger & took his hands. "I pledge to do all I can to end this curse." he added softly, giving the leopard tom a rare smile, "With all of us working on it, we are sure to find a solution. There are a very few here I trust enough to help me with this situation plus if I can discover who cursed me, then it may still be rectified." He went silent for a moment, "but if I pledge to work until I might end this curse & come home, then you must pledge to leave & soon. It's not safe here--for either of you, even the walls have ears. My den is relatively safe, most cats will not come here without invitation as they do not wish an unpleasant surprise left in their beds." He gave Tugger a small wink remembering some of their boyhood pranks, when his powers had still been fun & somewhat silly. He sobered quickly though, & then turned to Tantomile & gave her a courtly bow, "I further pledge to you my lady, that should your lost one need aid, I am here & I will always have his back, for your sake. " He looked weary all of a sudden & gestured to his brightly colored bed, "Now my friends, I would suggest we rest a bit. My bed is large enough for all three of us--to sleep in." he added giving Tugger mock-stern look. "Then when the sun is high, I will lead you to safety. . & thank you my friends. For the first time in a long time, I have hope for the end of my exile."

To Tugger's dismay, Misto did not agree to come home with him. His paws on his lean hips with his injured leg resting without weight, he cocked his head. Listening to the smaller male. A playful eyebrow raised when Misto mentioned only 'sleeping' in the bed. Tugger was rarely known to sleep in a bed when it was occupied by more then just him. "I will only agree to a truce for now because I am to tired to fight any more" He admitted, but this was not over. He limped over to the bed and sat on the corner. Happy to get all the weight off of his ripped thigh muscle. His shoulder was still painful as well. He patted the bed and looked at his sister and Mistoffelees.

Again the wicce listened silently to what Mistofelees had to tell them. in the silence of her mind she could understand his reasoning and fears and though she would have done different, she could see why he had done the way he did.
When Mistofelees turned to her and promised to keep an eye out for her wayward twin, she gave him a sad little smile, knowing that Coricopat's pride would never allow him to accept such help. The one reason why Tantomile herself had no chance of changing her twin's mind.
When Misto had finished she took a small step forward and laid a hand against his cheek.
"Be weary, tribe brother. HE will seek and find a way to use your power and might against anything he deems a target, promise not to harm the tribe or not.He will turn your words and action around so using your powers in a way you never wanted is the only solution. Be very weary."
With those words she gave Misto one more caress and smile before she withdrew and sought out a free space on the bed where she curled herself in a ball and sought rest in sleep.

Tantomile said exactly what Tugger had feared Macavity would do. He merely had a serious look on his face and nodded. With Tantomile in the far corner, curled up, Tugger laid down in the middle. Having no shame, He laid stretched out with his paws behind his head and his ankles crossed. He looked to Misto and made a jerking movement with his head for him to come to bed.

Quaxo smiled at Tanto gratefully; she was such a beautiful queen, inside & out. He only hoped that whichever partner she joined with was worthy of her. Lifting a burned hand to her face, he gave her the merest brush along her cheekbone. "Thank you dear lady." he murmured. He had always found her extremely attractive, but it was always Tugger that drew his eye & his heart. After she had settled to sleep, he pulled out a few more blankets & covered her gently. Then he blushed a bit, trying not to notice the smooth line of Tugger's body, lying or rather--posing in His bed. He'd only pictured that in his wildest fantasies. Stumbling a little, the normally graceful tom almost landed right on Tugger as he moved to climb into bed as well. Awkwardly, he caught himself before he connected with Tugger's injuries & pulled a blanket up over that oh-so-tempting form as well. Then he curled up on the side opposite Tantomile, protectively taking the outside edge of the bed & keeping what he thought of as a safe distance from the tom's handsome form & curled up to pretend to sleep. He had a feeling though, with Tugger here, sleep wasn't going to come easily. "Good night my . .umm Tugger." Quaxo said quietly. "Sleep well."

Tugger chose his field well. He took the middle of the bed on purpose. Even though his mind was bent on several worried and erotic scenarios with Mistoffelees, the tom was exhausted. His injuries took a toll on him. He soon fell asleep. Tugger was just as restless in his sleep as he was awake. He could never stay still. Unable to roll towards Tantomile because of his shoulder, the tom rolled towards the little tuxedo male next to him. Which was a good thing, because Tugger may have had a black eye to go with his shoulder and leg wound. The black leopard tom sleepily wrapped his arm around the young tuxedo's waist. His paw smoothing over his tight dancers abdomen. Being used to having someone in bed with him, the Maine Coon pressed his body against Mistoffelees. Burying his muzzle inbetween Misto's neck and shoulder.

The dark calico murred sleepily when Mistofelees placed a blanket over her form. Burying herself even deeper into the folds of the cloth, she quickly fell asleep and into the sweet oblivion of unconsciousness...
