Here's chapter 2! Hope you all enjoy!
(Carrie's POV)
As Kim pulled the lever, everything was fine until I heard a crackling sound coming from the machine. I became worried, and was about to step out of the machine when, suddenly, everything around us disappeared. I blinked in surprise as I looked around. There was no longer a room or a machine, but just a black void surrounding Larry and I. I was just frozen there in total shock, as we were just floating in nothingness. Larry started freaking out and hyperventilating. I looked over to him, worried.
"L-larry, it…it's going to be okay. We'll…find a w-way out of here." I told him, though I wasn't really sure, myself. He nodded, however, and attempted to slow his breathing. After he had calmed down a bit, I looked around some more, still seeing nothing. Suddenly, I felt something weird in my insides. My stomach suddenly felt like it was tightening, and my hands were starting to shake. Then, suddenly, I heard Larry let out a scream. I looked over at him again, and saw him holding his stomach, his teeth gritting in pain. I was about to ask what was wrong, but then I felt a sharp pain shoot up my spine, and it suddenly felt like my insides were twisting. The pain was unbearable as I wrapped my arms around my abdomen, trying everything I could to stop the pain. I gritted my teeth, and my eyes clenched shut. I don't know how long we were like that before the pain began to alleviate. But as I did, the world around me began to disappear once more, and my vision started to fade. I just stayed still as the darkness took over.
When I awoke once again, I felt perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened at all. I opened my eyes slightly, and looked at my surroundings. My eyes suddenly widened in surprise as I noticed that we were back in the garage. I shook my head and attempted to get up, which proved difficult, as my arms and legs became shaky when I tried to put weight on them. Then, I suddenly remembered Larry. I looked to my right, but instead of seeing Larry, there was a huge, orange cat lying next to me. I screamed and tried to move away from it as quickly as possible. It looked like your average, domestic house cat, but it was the size of a human! Okay, today is just getting too freaky.
Suddenly, the large cat started to move, causing me to jump. It opened its eyes slightly, and its somewhat familiar green gaze washed over the room until it landed on me. Its eyes snapped open all the way, and it immediately stood up straight.
"Aaa, a huge cat!" The orange tabby said, which I now knew was male. Wait, it can talk?! He started breathing heavily, and pressed himself further into the inside of the machine. I shakily attempted to stand up, and took a step towards him. That's when I noticed something weird. The floor felt…different. I looked down, and looked at my white paws. Wait, paws?! Oh, god. I looked over to the orange cat, and my eyes widened. How did I not notice it before? The voice, the eyes. This cat wasn't the size of a human, we were both the size of cats. We were cats! I took a wobbly step towards him.
"L-larry?" I said. He stopped trying to get away and froze. He looked at me, eyes wide. He must have recognized my voice.
"Ca…Carrie?!" He said in disbelief. I just nodded. I know I'm probably acting more calm than I should be in a situation like this, but honestly, it's not really surprising considering it's Kim's doing. Plus, I've kind of…always wanted to be a cat. And going back to normal should be easy. We'll just have to find Kim, and I'm sure she could change us back in no time. I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts when Larry took a step towards me. "C-care, you're…you're a…cat!" I looked at him with a half-smile.
"I'm not the only one." I told him simply. His eyes widened even further, and he raised one of his paws to look at. He looked like he was about to scream, but before he could, he fainted, hitting the floor with a thud. I just sighed in aggravation and padded over to him. I grabbed him by the scruff, the feeling of so much fur in my mouth making me want to hurl, and dragged him to a spot under the computer desk. I lied him down gently and went over to the couch, now taking in the sights of the garage, which I surprisingly hadn't noticed from the beginning. Everything was huge. I clumsily hopped onto the couch to get a better view, my mind reeling. I began thinking about cats, their traits, and their behavior.
I remembered that cats couldn't see many colors, and that almost everything was black, gray, and white. I looked around, but I was confused. I could make out all the colors of the garage just fine. I also remembered that cats have great hearing and sense of smell. I perked my ears and sniffed the air. I realized that I couldn't hear or smell any better than I had before, which confused me further. But I decided to shrug it off for now. I hopped off the couch, landing easily on my paws. I walked back over to where Larry was under the desk, and went and lied down next to him. I put a paw over him, and dragged him a bit closer to me until I felt his side against mine. I then rested my head on his back, and curled my tail around him protectively. I heard him start to lightly purr, which caused me to smile as I began to nod off.
So, what will they do now? How will they get back to normal? What's Kim going to do when she finds out? Why am I asking so many questions?!
