Macavity stood there, upset that he had blown away one of his best henchcats. But those feelings were soon changed as he realized the Alley Cat got in the way to save a jellicle. Titus slowly pushed the piles of junk off of him but his legs were still caught underneath. Macavity grew angry as he gripped the Tyger Eye gem and roared, "Alright Titus, you want to fight for the Jellicle Race, then so be it!!!!!" and he let out another bolt of power towards the trapped tom. Sillabub screamed, "Titus!!" but Titus was ready and when the comet was close enough, he swiftly grabbed the lid of a trash can and held it up like a shield which caused the bolt to bouce off it and turn back hitting the Tyger's Eye and shattering it to a million pieces at Macavity's feet. Macavity yelped as the heat struck his hand and exploded. He looked down at the pieces of gem at his feet then up at Munkustrap and growled, "Don't think I'm done with you jellicles." and with that he turned to leave.
Sillabub ran to Titus' side and tried to pull a huge car hood off his legs but it was too heavy. So Tugger and Alonzo helped out in lifting it. Once it was off of him Sillabub, Tugger and Alonzo cringed. Titus was severaly injured. Blood trickled from his forehead and streamed down his face. His body was mangled, and torn. They suddenly saw a gash in his side from where the blast had hit him most. From the gash, Titus was losing a lot of blood. Tugger quickly placed his hand over the open wound, trying to prevent him from bleeding to death.
Munkustrap, Demeter and Mistoffelees soon came down as well. Demeter gasped at Titus' wounds and so did Misto who quickly knelt down beside Tugger and helped him by placing his paw over the wound as well, but the flow of blood continued. When they all saw how they were literally lieing in a pool of blood they knew things were looking good for the Alley Cat. Titus was unable to sit up and see his open wound and asked, "Is it bad?" no one answered and Titus knew. Mistoffelees quickly replied sarcastically, "No Titus, you're going to be fine."
But Titus didn't believe the tom as he felt himself growing weaker by the moment. He placed his hands over his eyes in pain and yelled, "My God, I'm going to die." and for the first time in his life, Titus began to cry, "I don't want to die!" he looked at Misto with pleading eyes hoping for him to do something as he repeated in an agonizing whisper, "I don't want to die."
Sillabub broke down in tears as she threw herself on Titus and cried, "No Titus! You can't leave me! Not now!" but Titus was already losing conscienceness from the loss of blood. Seeing that she was losing him, Sillabub cradled his face in her hands and whispered, "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. If we had never met, none of this would have happened."
But Titus quickly replied, "Sillabub, I'd rather die today than to have lived a lifetime not knowing you. Meeting you from behind that stained glass window pane was the best thing that ever happened to me."
Sillabub smiled as she added, "You're my rose Titus." Titus laughed, "Well, all roses wither and die..." he gasped for another breath and began to cry before saying, "I never wanted to be this way. An Alley Cat I mean. You've shown me that there is such a thing called love and you've loved me like no one else has and vise versa. You've showed the way..." he then placed his hand on her cheek as he added, "...you're..." his pulse weakened and his hand began to slide from her face as struggled the last words out, "... you're my... north star." and with that, his body gave out. His beautiful icy blue eyes stayed fixed on her with a look of love and compasion. Sillabub held his hand close to her cheek then brought it down next to his side. Still looking into his eyes, she whispered through her tears, "I love you Titus." and she placed her paw over his eyes and slowly closed them making him look more at rest.
Not wanting to leave his body, Sillabub stared high up at the rising sun. It was a new day.
