The Twins
(A/N) Please imagine the accents because I can't write them xD
"C'mon Teaze!" A calico tom whispered to his sister.
Rumpelteazer whimpered and slowly stood up, shaking from the biting cold. She stared up at the tall harlequin tom who had found them curled up underneath the TSE-1 and clung to her brother's arm.
The tom stared back at her with a haughty look before leading them into a den where two ginger tabbies sat. The female took one look at the shivering, mangy, dirty twins and bundled them both into another room of the den. Before either calico twin knew what was going on, they were being scrubbed and rinsed down with a bucket of water and boiling hot towels.
Soon, they both ended up sitting on a warm pile of pillows, swaddled in knitted blankets, and curled in a comfy corner on the den. The harlequin tom, who the twins would soon know to be Alonzo, had already left.
"Oh you poor dears! You both must be exhausted!" Jenny fussed.
As if to prove her point, the twins both yawned.
"Now, what are you're names dears?"
"Mungojerrie," He mumbled.
"and Rumpelteazer," she whispered sleepily.
"Well Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer, you two best be going to sleep. I'll see you two in the morning," Jenny said kindly, tucking the calicos in.
The twins weakly smiled up at Jenny. After she left to go to her own bed, which she also shares with Skimble, Mungo whispered something in his sister's ear.
"I think we're gonna like it here Teaze,"
All Rumpelteazer could do was nod before they both fell into a dreamless sleep.
That was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer's first night in the junkyard.
*Two months later*
Cassandra stared down at Rumpelteazer disapprovingly.
"Do you really have to make so much noise? I'm trying to sleep," she said disdainfully.
Teazer's ears flattened down against her head.
"Sorry Cassie-" she started.
"Cassandra," the queen hissed.
Teazer bit her lip and slunk off without her usual bounce. She curled up underneath the TSE-1 and eventually dropped off to sleep. When she woke up, Jenny was sitting next to her, a colourful piece of knitting in her hands. Jenny looked at her and gently kissed her forehead.
"I saw what happened with Cassandra," she murmured.
Teazer clung to Jenny's arm, but before she could say anymore, Teazer cut across her.
"But Jenny, why is she like that? Why is everyone like that? Just because we used to work with Macavity? Plato and Deme won't go near me and Mungo! Cetteria- Cettrie, Ettice, whatever her name is, always hides behind Miss Jelly! And Lonzy just makes fun of us for our voices! Are we really that hateable?" Teazer ranted.
Jenny stared down at the young queen next to her and hugged the calico.
"It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, dear. They'll learn to love, just like Skimble and I,"
Teazer sniffed.
"Y-You and S-Skimbly? L-Like us?"
Jenny smiled.
"We love you like our own kits,"
Teazer grinned and hugged Jenny even tighter.
"Love you Jenny,"
"I love you Teaze,"
