Victoria, shrouded in a dark swirling mist, padded along the tinted tiles of the minister's roof. She kept low, not to draw to much attention to her dazzling white fur. On the other side of the roof was a tall narrow chimney, it was cracked and darkened with age, small- but large enough to squeeze through. She hastened across the grimy slates, spoiled by the hand of time itself.
Suddenly, the rotted beams of the ancient structure gave way beneath her albino paws. She fell into the darkness, spiralling to the ever-nearing floor...
....when she opened her eyes, a huge figure, fully three and half feet tall, towered above her. She stifled a scream and felt her heart fly into her mouth as a clotted paw reached down towards her. This time she did scream- a chilling, blood curdling scream which echoed around the hollow walls of desolate cavern. The hand lifted her off her feet as though she was made of only tissue paper. The figure moved it's head into the light- and a growling deep voice, touched with dopiness, said:
"Heeello!"
Victoria, scarcely able to catch
her breath choked in barely a whisper "who.. are you ?"
The cat, writhing with anger and disgust that anyone, ANYONE does
not know his name bellowed,
"Do you know," he paused for breath, "do you know
who you are talkin' to?"
Victoria was forced to answer, the impeding presence of this beast was enough to make even the bravest cat tell all of his dearest secrets " whh..who?"
" You've heard of the Napoleon of Crime?"
"y..yes"
" well I'm .. ECCLES!!!!!!!!" The cat swelled with pride as his name, propelled with phenomenal enthusiasm, shattered the nearest window.
-Victoria fainted-
