Carrigold had just returned from Macavity's lair after changing and looked around at her home. Today was the day when she would start the last stage of her journey to become the most powerful cat ever. It had been a week since she’d given the magicked jewel to Mungojerrie and almost everything was in place. She went over to her diamond orb in the middle of her room and gazed into it. In it, she saw Mungojerrie and Munkustrap talking. Well, it was just Munk talking and he looked rather upset. Teazer waved a paw over the globe and said,

“Talk that was hidden, now talk come bidden. Release the spell he knows too well.”

And with that, she released the spell that had stopped him from talking. Then she decided it was time to present herself. She gazed around one last time and whispered an invisible spell. That last bit of Macavity's magic made it so she didn’t feel the affects of working the magic. She then melted into the air and appeared just outside the junkyard bounds. All around the yard there were piles of junk and trash. There was a pile that was perfect for her needs. When it would fall, it would land her right in the center of the area. And it would be in full view of all the Jellicles there. She had chosen this time because that was when almost all the cats would be in the junkyard for one reason or another. She waved a paw over her coat and a thin film of dust and grime appeared. How could she say she was from the streets if her coat was shiny and clean? She also made sure that there was no smell of Macavity about her body. She knew all too well about Demeter’s paranoia. She backed up and took a running leap into the pile. She felt it start to move forward and then screamed bloody murder as she felt herself sliding.
