The mice's p.o.v.

When Freya was tossing corns to the hens, that was the mice's cue to come out and get breakfast as well. A group of mice's named Chazz, Hassleberry, Jesse as well as Jaden and Syrus, rushed down the mouse holes in the house and entered the base floor only to stop suddenly up when they saw Pharaoh at the front door.

"Stupid Pharaoh" Jaden complained "How are we gonna get out?".

"Soldiers we have to regroup" Hassleberry yelled and they all rushed inside the mouse hole once again. The mice looked at each other.

"So how are we gonna get out slacker" Chazz snort and stuck his head out of the hole and looked at the big mean cat. The others followed him.

"Yeah, it is not like he is letting us pass so easily" Jesse commented worried.

"Big brother?" Syrus questioned and looked up at Jaden. He was thinking.

"Gotcha, I think I got a plan" he then said and the others looked at him "Now somebody has to sneak out and make Pharaoh chase him, then run over to the hole in the corner and keep Pharaoh there. Then we others run out, Gotcha?".

"Yep sarge gotcha" Hassleberry replied and the others nodded.

"Now we have to chose the one who shall do it" Jaden continued "Let's do Ibby dibby hop". They all hopped and turned their back to each other. Syrus did what they others did. Then they tangled their tails together and Jaden should pick one to do it. He closed his eyes and picked a tail. Then the others who wasn't picked hopped away. Jaden turned around and looked at the tail he caught, which so happens to be his own. Syrus was congratulating him. He had no clue how dangerous this mission was. The others had bowed their hats in concern and Jesse waved him silently goodbye.

"I like it" said Chazz "The one who came up with the idea, is the one to do it". Jaden bit his lip. Then he looked at Syrus and decided that Syrus couldn't have a cowardly brother. He took a deep breath and mustered all the courage he had and then he walked out of the mouse hole. He slowly sneaked in on Pharaoh, while the other mice were watching. Jaden managed to get really close without the cat noticing. Pharaoh was leaning his head at his arm, while his elbow was holding his head. The other are played around with the milk, which the cat once in awhile licked with his tongue. Jaden looked at the lazy cat and came up with a new idea. He walked back some steps and then rushed forward with all his speed and slammed into Pharaoh's elbow which made the cat drop his head in the bowl full of milk. When the cat had recovered from that, Jaden ran into the pond of milk on the floor and splashed the milk in the cat's face. Pharaoh sneered angry and began chasing Jaden around the whole place. Just like in the plan Jaden managed to get the cat over to the corner and keep it there. He was signalling to the others from the mouse hole that they could walk by now, but they should bring something back for him. The others mice nodded and made Syrus follow them outside in the courtyard.

Outside the mices were yelling up and trying to make Freya notice them. She smiled when she saw them and tossed a pile of corn on the ground. The other mice quickly grabbed a corn or two and began leaving the place again. However Syrus who was new in all of this, got surrounded by the hens who wanted the corn as well. A fierce battle began, sort of, but Syrus was of course outmatched. In the end Freya noticed this and made the hens leave. Then she tossed more corns at the ground so Syrus could get something as well. He quickly began grabbing a pile of corns. For himself and his precious big brother.

The other mice had entered the house once again. They had all in some way forgotten about Syrus. They however looked inside and noticed Jaden. He had seen them as well and quickly placed his hat on his tail and stuck it out of the hole to get Pharaoh's attention. The cat, it was not the brightest cat here, quickly tried to grab him and that made him occupied so the others could sneak inside again. In the back troup was Syrus of course. He was holding very concentrated the piles of corns while walking inside. Therefore he didn't notice the kant of the shirt which made him trip and all the corn fell out of his hands and made a lot of ruckus. That of course woke up Pharaoh and of course he noticed the little mouse who now was collecting the lost corns again. Jaden of course tried to make Pharaoh notice him, but the cat wasn't interested any longer. He began sneaking in on poor Syrus. Syrus had finally grabbed all the corns again when he was now face to face with the cat. Panic hit the little mouse and he tossed the corn away and began running as fast as he could. Sadly Pharaoh had a good grip in his tail so Syrus wasn't really running away. Jaden saw that and in his last attempt to save his new found 'brother' he pushed the broom who was luckily beside him and slammed it in the head of the cat. That made Pharaoh groan in surprise and he let go of Syrus. The little mouse rushed away somewhere.

"Gotcha, where did Syrus run off to?" Jaden questioned, then shrugged "Oh well he must have got away by now". Then he retreated inside the mouse hole.

Pharaoh's p.o.v.

Pharaoh was angry. He was really annoyed and it didn't help that he got hit in the head by a broomstick. He just got his paws on a tasty mouse. A mouse was more tasty than a bird or a bowl of milk. At least in his eyes. It was properly because he knew how difficult it was getting one since he knew Freya protected the mice in the house. Pharaoh looked around for any trace of the little mouse and hoped it hadn't gotten away. Luckily for the cat he saw the mouse climb up the table where Freya had the trays with cups on. Pharaoh licked his lips. Oh a tasty mouse was just what he ordered for breakfast. He was sneaking in on Syrus who was now sitting on the table and taking deep breaths, thinking he was safe. Pharaoh knew he wasn't. He quickly grabbed the cup at the table and placed the little mouse under there. The cat grinned evilly. Now I got you! He was about to lift the cup when a ringing sound could be heard. The bells on the walls were ringing. Pharaoh knew it was his master and his children there were calling Freya. With an annoying sigh, Pharaoh rushed down under the table. He knew that if Freya knew he had one of the mices captured, she would take away his pray and that was not okay at all. He saw Freya rush inside, hearing the bells ring loudly for her.

"Coming, coming" Freya said out loud and did something at the table. Then she rushed over to the stove and did something there. Pharaoh smirked. Now he had the chance. He rushed up at the table only to find three cups on three saucers. The cat figured it was properly what she had been doing. He quickly lifted the cups and found Syrus under the last one he looked. He was about to grab him when Freya rushed over to the table once again with three bowls of something looking like oatmeal. Pharaoh had to hide on the table again. He was more and more annoyed by the minute. Finally Freya disappeared once again from the table and the cat was rushing up at the table again, only to find the cups and the saucers on three different trays now. Pharaoh lifted the three cups once again, but when he was about to grab Syrus Freya returned with the kettle and began pouring water in the three teapots. Even more annoyed and now impatient and angry, Pharaoh climbed under the table again. The cat could hear the bells ring like hell. Finally Freya left once again and the cat rushed up, only to find out that Freya had left with all the Trays. One on the top of the head, the other on each arm. (I as author think that is impressive). She was about to bring food to the family. Pharaoh followed her from afar at the door down to the kitchen. At some point he saw one of the cups move and Syrus's head stuck out of the cup. The cat licked his lips. He could get the mouse again. He quickly snuck up the stairs without Freya noticing and was waiting at the top of the stairs at the side the mouse was. He was hiding behind one of the figures on the banister. However when he was about to grab the cup, Freya had suddenly lost her shoe and turned around to get it on again. So Syrus's cup was on the left side instead of the right side, which made the cat target the wrong cup. Confused over why there was no mouse there, Pharaoh placed the cup back on the saucer. He watched from afar where Freya approached the families different rooms.

Freya's p.o.v.

Freya had just walked up the stairs without a clue on Pharaoh's attempt to get Syrus who still was under one of the cups. She just did what she normally did. Serving breakfast for the family. She first approached Atticus's room.

"Good morning Atticus, sleep well?" she asked in a sweet tone.

"Hmm as if you care" Atticus replied coldly and took the tray from her "Take that, ironing and have it back in an hour, one hour you hear?!". Freya sighed, replied "Yes Atticus" and took the basket with clothes in it and began leaving the room. She hit the door with her foot, who made the door slam in the cat's face. She wondered what the cat was doing here, but she didn't have time to figure out why. She still had to bring the rest of the family their food. She entered Alexis's room next.

"Good morning Alexis" Freya said and walking into the room giving her the tray.

"Well it is about time" Alexis complained coldly "And don't forget the mending. Don't be all day getting it done either". Freya sighed, replied "Yes Alexis" and left the room carrying a basket and a sack filled with clothes. She entered the last room. Her stepfather's room. She knocked slowly on the door.

"Well come in child come in" she could hear Banner said at the other end of the room. Freya quickly did that.

"Good morning stepfather" Freya said and gave him his tray as well.

"Pick up the laundry and get on with your duties" Banner just replied at as a greeting.

"Yes stepfather" Freya replied and walked out with all the other things she should do for today. It was apparently a lot of stuff. She had just placed the things downstairs when a scream filled the house. Freya rushed upstairs, only to find Alexis rushing out of the room in her blue night dress. She looked angry and frightened.

"Father, father!" she yelled and now looked angry at Freya "You did it. You did it on purpose. Father! Father! Father!". Then she rushed into her father's room.

"Now what did you do?" said Atticus suddenly behind Freya. He was dressed in blue pajamas. He looked angry at her as well. Then he rushed after his sister into their father's room. Freya could hear Alexis yell up from in there.

"She put it there. A ugly mouse under my my teacup". Freya placed two and two together and looked now down at Pharaoh who looked like he was smirking evilly.

"Alright Pharaoh, what did you do to him?" she asked the cat. Pharaoh snort and was showing both of his hands, that in some way told her that he hadn't taken anything.

"Oh you are not fooling anybody" Freya said and grabbed the cat "We'll just see about this". The cat was standing on its hind legs now. Freya lifted both of them and found Syrus under one of them. He looked really scared now.

"Oh poor little Sy" Freya replied and made the little mouse run to safety inside the mouse hole. Freya looked at the cat. "Oh Pharaoh, won't you ever learn?". Pharaoh looked really angry at her. He was not happy that his pray had gone away.

"Freya!" yelled Banner suddenly which cheered the cat up pretty quickly. It smiled happily and rushed into its master's room. Eager to hear about Freya's fate.

"Oh how you are gonna get it" Alexis said when she walked out of their father's room. Atticus soon followed. Freya entered the room.

"Close the door Freya" said Banner from the other end of the bed. He was dressed in black night clothes. Freya sighed and did as she was told. She knew full well that Atticus and Alexis was listening from the other end of the door.

"Come here" ordered Banner and Freya walked over to the edge of the bed. She could see Pharaoh lying on the bed, while Banner was patting the cat.

"Oh please you don't think I..".

"Hold your tongue" Banner sneered and Freya quickly stopped talking. He grabbed his tea cup and began drinking a little of his tea. Then he smirked "Seems we have time of our hands". Freya was a little scared by that.

"But I was only trying to..".

"Silence!" Banner sneered coldly "Time for vicious practical jokes. Perhaps we can put them to better use. Now let me see.. there is a large carpet in the main hall. Clean it! And the windows upstairs and down. Wash them! Oh yes and the tapestries and draperies..". Freya looked upset at him.

"But I just finished them..".

"Do them again" Banner just replied coldly and Freya sighed inside "And don't forget the garden, scrub the terrace, sweep the halls and the stairs, clean the chimneys. And of course there is the mendings, the laundry and the sewing". Freya sighed deeply for every chores he had said. This would take the whole day. Pharaoh was smirking at the bed, but when Banner stopped picking chores the cat felt like he was missing something, and that was not good. Freya needed to be punished for taking his pray.

"Oh yeah and there is one more thing" Banner then said and drank from the tea cup "See that Pharaoh gets his bath". By that the cat flinched. Freya was grinning inside. At least Pharaoh got punished a little as well.

A,N: Well that was the second chapter. just couldn't resist doing the mice moments as well.
