The Animal Within Part 7: Cat's Transformation

*I don't Victorious or any other characters except the O.C's*

Tori, Jade, Andre, Beck, Robbie and Sam met up outside the beach as they looked for their missing friend.

"Any luck finding her on the way here?" Tori asked Sam

"No, you guys?" Sam asked

"No." said Jade

"Hey, what's happening down there." Andre asked as he pointed to the beach as people ran down the sand screaming

"Oh no." Tori said then she and her friends ran to the beach and sure enough Cat was running through the beach scaring people and hissing at them.

"CAT!" Tori yelled

"HELP!" A group of girls yelled as they got chased by Cat

"Hang on!" Sam yelled then she and Jade jumped Cat tackling her then with the help of Andre, Beck, and Robbie held her down.

"Are you OK?" Tori asked as she ran up to the girls, one blonde, two brunettes, one girl had glasses and the other looked extremely like Tori.

"Yeah thanks." said the blonde

"NO problem, hey." Tori looked at the girl who looked like her.

"What? Whoa." The girl said

"Oh my gosh, you guys look like each other." The girl with glasses said.

"Yeah, I noticed." said Tori

"I'm Lola." Lola said

"Tori." Tori said

"Zoey." Zoey the blonde said

"Quinn." said Quinn

"Yeah great we're all getting introduced, we have a serious problem over here!" Jade said as she struggled to hold Cat down.

"What is going on?" Zoey asked

"Long story." Sam asked

"We have all day." Lola said

Tori and her friends explained the story to Lola, Quinn and Zoey.

"Wow, that's intriguing." Quinn said as she knelt down to Cat.

"I wouldn't call it intriguing, more like our friend is turning into a cat like monster and we need to get her back to normal." said Tori

"Well, I may have something at my house that could help fix this." said Quinn

"You do?" Jade asked

"Sure, I just have to make it first, but if you come over I can make it, then I'll be able to inject it into your friend and it should turn her back to normal." said Quinn

"Wait did you say inject?" Sam asked

"Well yeah, based on what you told me, it sounds like the cat that bit your friend passed her DNA into her body and now the two are converging into one thus causing this transformation." said Quinn

"Yeah, we kinda figured that part already." said Jade

"Well I can make an antidote that can cure her." said Quinn

"Well that sounds great but, I think my friends and I should go see the owner of the dead cat first, you know to see why this is happening first." said Tori

"OK, well if you decided to come over here's my address and number." said Quinn as she gives Tori a card

"You keep your info on a card?" Sam asked

"Yeah." said Quinn

"OK then, well nice meeting you three." said Beck

"You too." said Zoey

Sam and Jade picked Cat up then carried her away while Tori, Beck, Robbie and Andre followed.

"So do you think they'll call?" Lola asked

"Yep." said Quinn

"Better get working on that antidote then Quinn." said Zoey

"Follow me." said Quinn then she led her friends off the beach

Tori and her friends drove to Sam and Cat's house where they dumped Cat onto the couch.

"OK, so how are we gonna find Betsy?" Sam asked. "I mean it's not like we can just call her up, we don't know where she lives."

"You think maybe she lives at Elderly Achors?" Tori asked

"Why do you think that?" Sam asked

"I don't know, just a guess." Tori said

"No that's too convenient." said Sam

Cat moaned as she woke up. "Where am I?" she said as she sat up.

"Hey sunshine." said Jade

"What happened?" Cat asked

"Oh nothing, except you terrorized people on a beach, oh and before that you attacked someone at school then got suspended for it." said Jade

"What?! Oh man!" Cat said feeling horrible. "Why is this happening to me?"

"Don't worry, we'll figure this out, all we gotta do is find Betsy and she'll answer all of this." said Tori

"Yeah but where could be living?" Beck asked

"We could check Elderly Achors." said Cat

Sam sighed then said, "Fine I guess we could."

At Elderly Achors

Tori and her friends walked in

"Oh!" Nona said from a table then she got up and quickly noticed something was terribly wrong with her granddaughter. "Cat?"

"Hi" Cat said in a quiet almost shy voice.

"What happened to you?" Nona asked in a concerned tone.

"That's what we're trying to find out, we're looking for an old woman named Betsy, short, boney, white, probably around, maybe older." said Sam

"Well there is a Betsy here, but not the one you're describing, however I do think I know who you're talking about." Nona said

"You do?" Cat said then suddenly fur began to grow all over Cat's body causing her friends and Nona to look at her with shock. "What? Is there something on my face?"

"And all over your body." Tori said

Cat looked at her arms and hands then her legs noticing all the fur. "I'm all furry!"

"Yeah we see that! Nona do you know where Betsy lives?" Jade asked

"I believe I do yes, hold on." Nona said then she pulled out her phone. "Let me make sure I know who you're talking about first, ah is this her dear?" Nona showed her a picture of Betsy the woman that came to pick up Mittens.

"Yes! That's her!" Cat said

"You know her?" Sam asked

"Yes! She was an old classmate from my high school, she was a strange one, anyway, this is her address right here." Nona said as she showed Cat and her friends where Betsy lived. "It's just a few blocks down from here.

"OK, thanks Nona!" Cat said then she went to give Nona a hug but then started to cough.

"Are you alright?" Nona asked then Cat coughed up a furball causing her friends to be grossed out.

At Betsy's House

Tori and her friends walked up to the door then she knocked on the door.

"What a nice place." Cat said

"Cat, look at your hands." Jade said then Cat looked and saw that her hands have become paws.

"It's happening by the minute." Tori said

Betsy opened the door. "Oh visitors!" Betsy said then she saw Cat. "Oh dear, you're the girl that found my precious Mittens."

"Yes, it's me." Cat said

"Yeah our friend is well, I think you can probably tell." Tori said

"Indeed, come in, come in, I'm sure you must be wondering what's going on yes?" Betsy said as Tori and friends entered her house.

Betsy sat down at her table wich didn't sit very high from the floor, then Tori and the gang sat down around the table.

"So, do you know what's going on with our friend?" Tori asked

"Your friend was bitten by Mittens correct?" Betsy asked

"Yeah, and now she's been growing cat ears, whiskers, making cat noises." Jade said

"I see, yes I've seen this before, quite a few times actually." Betsy said

"Wait, you have?" Sam asked

"Yes, you see Mittens wasn't an ordinary cat, in fact, she was special, anyone she bit would become a monster, her DNA fused with theirs and it slowly turned said person into a feline beast." said Betsy

"Wait so, you're saying Mittens was a demon cat?" Tori said

"Exactly! She basically possessed people, and every time she did it cost her, her own life." said Betsy

"Nine lives." Jade said to herself

"Pardon me?" Betsy asked

"Nothing." Jade said

"Anyway, you must be wondering how Mittens came to be this way, well the answer is a mystery even to me." Betsy said

"Well, that doesn't really matter now since she's dead, right?" Sam asked

"She was on her last life when your friend found her, so yes you're correct, and with Mittens soul inside your friend, she'll turn into a beast like monster and go out of her mind." said Betsy

"Well how do we save her?" Beck asked

"Yeah there's gotta be some way to cure her!" Andre said

"The only way to stop this now, is with a bullet through the heart." Betsy said shocking Tori and her friends.

"You mean we have to kill Cat?" Tori asked

"Yes, it's the only way now, she can't be saved, you don't want mittens soul to reek havoc do you?" Betsy said

"Well no but, there's gotta be another way." Tori said

"If you're not willing to do something, then you will all pay the consequences with your own lives!" said Betsy

"You're wrong! There is another way!" Robbie said

"Yeah! We don't need to sit here and listen to your stupid garbage!" Jade said harshly

"Garbage? You're the ones that came to me for help!" Betsy said

"True, but we didn't come here to be told to kill our friend!" Tori said

"Yeah, we'd never harm our friend, not a single hair on her head." Andre said

"Have a good day ma'am, you can keep your crazy mumbo jumbo to yourself." Beck said

Beck, Robbie, Andre, Sam, Jade and Tori got up but Cat remained seated

"Cat?" Tori said then she looked down at Cat who had a funny look on her face. "Are you ok?"

Betsy smiled. "It's time."

"Time for what? What's going on you crazy." Sam's eyes widen. "No."

Cat gasps then she runs out the door causing her friends to chase after her.

"CAT!" Cat's friends yell as they run after her.

Cat trips as she runs out the door.

"Cat!" Tori yelled as she ran towards her friend but then she heard Cat yell. "Don't come near me."

"Cat." Tori said sounding hurt.

"Guys, do something, anything, please help me, save me, hurry!" Cat screamed in pain as fur began to cover her face.

Betsy came walking out with a shotgun. "That girl must be put down." she said causing Sam and Jade to grab Cat.

"Get in the car!" Andre shouted

Andre, Beck, Robbie, Tori, Jade and Sam raced to the car with Cat in arms and they all jumped in at the same time then Beck drove off as fast as he could while Betsy shot at them.

Betsy looked furious then she went to her car saying. "I'll get them!"

Cat screamed and hissed as her entire body began to change into a cat like beast. "OH MY GOD!" Jade yelled as she saw her friend change before her eyes.

"Cat!" Sam yelled as she held her down.

"Cat hang on, we'll get you back, I promise!" Tori said as Jade and Sam used all their body weight and muscle to hold Cat down.

Betsy appeared behind them and began to shoot at them.

"We're being shot at!" Beck yelled

"Ah man!" Andre yelled

Betsy cackled as she shot at Beck's car.

"She's crazy!" Robbie yelled

"Ya think?!" Sam yelled

A car suddenly starts up and goes after Betsy.

"What's that?!" Tori said as she looked back then she saw Betsy getting rammed into.

"Hey! Get lost!" Betsy yelled then she looked at the driver and it was none other than Drake Parker, he and his brother Josh and Sister were on their way to a show but stopped for some food when they saw what was going on. "Who are you?"!

Drake rammed his car into Betsy's knocking her off the road then Drake pulled back as Beck continued on.

"I don't know who that was, but thanks!" Tori yelled as Beck drove off into the distance.

Beck and his friends had a destination and he knew they had to hurry before Cat's situation and theirs got worse, he just hoped they'd get there in time.
