Victoria was horrified. Plato shoved her back away from him, because seconds later he was tackled to the floor by Alonzo and Munkustrap a moment later. Plato managed to worm his way free from under the two furious toms

"You rotten pollicle," Alonzo spat "how dare you touch her" the two Jellicles slowly starting to back Plato into one of the corners. Munkustrap hissed in agreement

"You will regret this" The silver tabby threatened. Victoria was mortified, her fur standing up. They must think Plato kidnapped her or something.

"No stop it's not what you think-," she started but Quaxo grabbed her arm.

"It's ok sis you're safe now" Furious the white queen swung around and struck the tuxedo tom.

"Get off of me!" she shouted. Quaxo was so caught off guard by his sister lashing out that he stumbled back, stunned. Sparks started to appear from the magicians paws.

"Victoria, run." Plato calmly said, never taking his eyes off of Alonzo and Munkustrap. Victoria looked over to the cornered tom. "Go, I'll find you later." His green eyes met hers "I promise. Now go, I'll be ok."

So Victoria turned and ran outside the door

Plato didn't know what shocked him more, the fact Victoria actually listened to him or that the tuxedo tom didn't try to stop her. He didn't dwell on it long because even though Victoria got away, he was still cornered by three very pissed off toms.

And three against one isn't very good odds. Not at all.

Victoria ran. She was trying her best not to cry, but tears were spilling out. So many thoughts and emotions were coursing through her head.

The white queen sprinted out of the alley, around the corner and stopped.

I don't know where to go….or where I am

Victoria looked at the busy street. She may have been sheltered growing up, but she wasn't dumb enough to try and cross. That would be suicide. So the young queen stuck close to the building deciding what to do next. She started walking up the sidewalk, staying in the shadows to avoid the humans walking along the path as well.

Victoria couldn't get the image of her brother's face out of her head. Hurt, confusion, so many different things.

She saw a flower stand up ahead, and got an idea. Victoria dashed underneath the flower stand. Luckily for her, the owner had additional flowers stored there. She rubbed her fur along the flowers, hoping to cover up her scent just in case the Jellicles tried to track her down.

When she felt her sent was cover up, she took a seat. Victoria didn't know what to do after that. So she decided to wait.

"What have you done to her?!" the hiss was soon followed by another claw-full slap to the face.

"Nothing!" Plato spat

"Liar!" Alonzo struck again. Plato tried his best to dodge it or run away or something but Munkustrap's death grip wasn't letting him go anywhere. Alonzo hissed.

"Wait…." Said a voice from the door way. Plato could see the tuxedo tom, Quaxo, finally decided to move. The little guy had been standing it the same spot for almost half an hour, stunned by Victoria's actions. The tuxedo slowly walked over.

"If he says he didn't do anything, let's see if it's true." Alonzo stepped away and gave Quaxo room. The small tom stepped in front of the restrained child of crime.

"Be warned." Plato whispered as Quaxo place a white paw on each side of Plato's head. "Most couldn't witness the things I've seen….and remain sane afterwards."
