Chapter Two: The Cat In The Hat
"Ahhhhh!" Trinity screamed as she fell further and further into the charcoal black pit. She had no clue where she would end up next, but she knew she missed Lottie and the faeries already. They helped her through so much and now, well.. she's on her own to find her way back home.
"Yowch!" She splat on the ground. Yet, to find she was on green grass again! But, it was not the same green grass.. she was in someone's lawn.
Trinity walked up to the house and knocked on the red door that stood in front of her. No one answered, and she felt she needed to go into the house.. so she did.
Standing in side the house, was a humongous, giant cat! The cat was wearing a big, red and white striped hat. Trinity knew exactly who this was. She had read all of his books- Dr. Suess' Cat in the Hat. But, how is he here? Right! Another dream.. another 'level' to find her way through.
"Um, Mr.Cat?" Trinity asked, approaching the gray and white fat cat.
"Thats my name! The Cat in the Hat! I may not be skinny, but I sure ain't fat!" The cat rhymed.
"Thats a joke.." Trinity mumbled under her breath. Then she continued with what she was going to ask, "Do.. you need.. help with anything?"
"Why yes indeed! What perfect timing for not making me plead! I must go find the dog that's lost, so you just sit right on that box!"
The cat pointed to a big, red box that had a little bit of pink running out of it.
"Okay!" She replied as she ran over to the box and plumped her butt down.
The Cat in the Hat ran out the door and headed to his car. (I wouldn't exactly call it a car, but hey, close enough.) Anyways, Trinity sat on the box, thinking how she could get out of here before the cat came back. She sat some books on the box that she found on the bookshelf near the fireplace close by, then she began to look for things that the key might go to.
Trinity searched all over the house, but didn't find a thing. There were a few locks here and there, but none the key went to. Then, she realized it. Maybe, the cat had it. Or maybe... the lock on the box! That was it! She rushed over to the box and then sat on top so she could see the lock.
"Boom!" Someone knocked the door down! "Who are you and what are you doing here!"
"I'm Trinity and I was told to sit on this box."
"By who? A giant cat!?" The man insanely yelled at her.
"Uhmm, no sir, just one of my friends." Trinity lied.
"Oh, alright. Well, move out of my way, I need to see in that box."
"You—uhh—you can't. It's locked."
"It is huh? Well I'll just break the lock!"
Now, Trinity realized who it was. It was Lawrence from the Dr. Suess story! Now she knew just how to handle him.
"Oh no, sir I think the dog has the key, you should run get the dog, then you can get the key!"
"Brilliance! Thank you young girl.. I'll be back!" Lawrence said, running out of the door to his red sports car.
Trinity grabbed the key from around her wrist and stuck it in the lock. Perfect fit! Just then the cat come running through the door.
"No! Don't open that box!" The cat shrieked at her.
"I have to Cat! I have to get home!"
"That way won't lead you to home!" The cat said more, "It'll only open more trouble. You need to lock tho box! Don't you see? The dog's supposed to have the lock, and I'm supposed to have the key. But everything got mixed up, and well, that box is supposed to be locked! Not open!"
"I don't believe you!" Trinity screamed as a gust of air flew out of the box. She opened it! Trinity jumped into goo of pink.
"Ow! What a painful dream!" She said as she fell on to some sort of table. "Where am I now?"
Trinity was in the box. And the world down there didn't look so good. Everything was mixed up and nothing was right. What was she to do now? She had no clue.
Trinity saw then all of Dr. Suess' creatures running after her!
"Not more running!" Trinity said with a sigh as she rushed off.
She ran over ton's of different landscapes and hills, and giant flowers and mushrooms, until she got to a zip line.
"Oh, no, I have to go over!" Trinity grabbed onto the little handles and started off.
"Hurry!" Trinity said, her hands were getting tired and she couldn't hold on any longer! She splashed into the water underneath. There was nothing there that she could find decent. A strange blue alligator type thing snatched Trinity gently by the arm.
"What are you doing here?!" It yelled at her.
"Please, let me go! I need to find my way home!"
"Oh, stuck I see.. Well, get back to the house as soon as possible! Find the cat, steal his cat! Putting his hat on will take you to the next level!"
"How do I get back?" Trinity asked.
"Destroy a red fish, a blue fish, one fish, and two fish. Now go!"
Trinity swam as fast as she could, searching for fish. Then she saw the red fish swimming underneath her. She went and grabbed one. Trinity wanted no blood or gore in her killing the fish, so she just sat it out on the land to die. Trinity found the blue fish and did the same. Then Trinity saw the fish with a one on it, and one with a two on it, and did the same to them.
Then a bright flash came out of the sky and sucked her up. She ended up sitting back on the box in the house! There the cat stood.
"Oh cat! Thank you so much!" Trinity ran to the cat and gave him a big hug. Except it was all just a game.. Trinity grabbed his hat off his head and stuck it on hers as she said, "Bye Mr. Kitty Cat!"
Back in the blackest of nights, Trinity was a little bit closer to home.
