Chapter 3: Trina gets captured

The girls were getting very suspicious to how the rat trap disappeared. This mystery was getting more mysterious as the time went by. Trina kept staring at the spot where the trap was. Where could that trap had gone? Did someone take it? If so, who?

Suddenly, Trina heard something move behind her. She turned around, but saw nothing. Trina was getting a little bit uncomfortable, when she heard something move again.

"Girls, we have to keep moving. I have a feeling that we're being watched." Trina said, still looking all around her.

"Are you sure?" Tori asked.

Trina nodded when she heard another noise. This time, it was loud enough for all the girls to hear. "Now that you mention it..." Jade trailed off. "Maybe it's the bat I saw." Cat whimpered, moving closer to Jade. Tori looked around, and noticed something in the shadows of a corner. Glowing eyes that glared at her.

Tori took a step back, close to Trina. "Uh... Trina... I think there's something in the shadows..." Trina looked over to where Tori was pointing, and almost did a double take. Jade and Cat where also shocked. The girls stood close to each other as they looked at the eyes that were looking at them.

"Okay... I think I'm going to get a closer look... but not to close." Trina announced.

"But what if that thing attacks you?" Tori asked in worry of her sister.

"I'll try not to let that thing jump on me. I'll just kick its butt." Trina reassured her.

With that, Trina moves ever slowly to the dark corner. As she move, the clearer the creature who was in the shadows look. Then, Trina stopped in fright as the creature approached her. Her head was telling her to run, but she was too scared to move. Soon, the creature was clear. It was a rat, but the girls would soon find out that it wasn't just any old rat

The rat was tall, so Trina had to look up to see its face. Before she did so, she noticed that the rat was wearing clothes. Clothes that looked oh so familiar. Tori, Jade, and Cat froze in fright, for they knew who the rat was.

Trina finally looked up at the rat, still confused. Once she saw his face, it finally clicked. Trina felt her stomach turn, and a lump in her throat.

"Hello, my darlings." The rat hissed, chuckling evilly.

"Oh chiz..." Trina whimpered. She took a step back before uttering another word.

"Ratigan."

Meanwhile... with the boys

"Aw! This is hopeless. We've found nothing." Robbie moaned. The boys were still upstairs looking around. Just like the girls, they too haven't found anything to help figure out why they've shrunken. "Don't worry Rob. There has to be something." Andre assured him.

Beck, who was paying no attention to them, was thinking more about Jade. He didn't know why he thought of the idea of splitting up, but he was worried about his girlfriend. He knew she could take care of herself, but he felt as he should be with her right now. He felt the need to hold her... to protect her... to tell her that he loves her...

Then, his phone started buzzing. He took it out of his pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was Jade. Maybe she was calling to tell him that the girls have found something. Whatever it was, it didn't matter. He just wanted to hear her voice again.

He wasted no time to answer. "Hello?" he asked. "BECK!" Jade's frantic voice ranged through the phone. "BECK! PLEASE HELP US!"

Beck was now worried. What was going on? Whatever it was, it wasn't good by the scared tone of Jade's voice. "Okay, babe. Calm down. Tell me what happened."

"IT'S RATIGAN! FROM THE MOVIE! HE'S REAL, BECK! HE'S REAL! AND HE'S ATTACKING US! PLEASE HELP US!"

"He hurt Trina! She has a scratch mark on her cheek! Please help us! Tori exclaimed in the backgroud.

"I'm scared! I'm really, really scared!" Cat cried in the background.

"Please, Beck! Help! I don't know what to do-" Then Beck heard a shrill high pitched scream, followed by maniacal laughter. That laughter was enough to convince Beck that Jade was right about Ratigan. "Babe..." Beck called softly into the phone. "Babe, are you still there?"

The only response was heavy sobbing and whimpering. "What happened?" he asked. "I... I don't know..." Jade whimpered through her sobs. "I think Ratigan took Trina... I don't see them anywhere... Tori and Cat are still here... please, just get down here quick."

"Don't worry, Jade. We're on our way... by the way, I love you."

"I... love you too." Jade responded before she hung up. Beck was now extremely worried. What he just heard, he knew it was bad. If the girls really saw Professor Ratigan from the movie, then it was really bad. Beck turned to Andre and Robbie, who looked at him in worry. "Is everything alright?" Andre asked.

Beck shook his head. "I just got a call from Jade. She says that Ratigan from the movie we were watching attacked her and the other girls. She thinks that he kidnapped Trina, and it's just her, Tori, and Cat now. We have to go back down stairs to see if the girls are okay."

Andre and Robbie exchanged glances. There couldn't possibly be a way that the girls had seen Ratigan. As strange as it sound, they knew right away that the girls needed help, especially Trina, if she was kidnapped.

Back downstairs, Tori, Jade, and Cat all huddled close together. They were still frightened by the sudden appearance of Ratigan. It couldn't have been him. He's just a character from a movie... right?

Now, the girls were alone, without Trina. Tori had suspected that Ratigan took her away. But where to? Tori was the most worried about her older sister. She remembered how Ratigan swiped his claws at Trina's right cheek, and how she fell to the floor with a thud. Tori thought she heard Trina let out a scream, and Ratigan laugh evilly.

"Okay. The boys are coming downstairs. They should be here any minute." Jade announced. Tori was glad that the boys would be here soon, and so saw Cat, who was still shaking from the earlier attack. "I hope Trina will be okay." the red head whimpered.

"Me too. I don't know what I'd do without my big sister." Tori added.

"Normally, I'd say that I could care less about what happens to her, but since five minutes ago... I really care." Jade also added. Tori looked at her, a bit surprised. She knew how Jade didn't like Trina, but she never thought that Jade would have a time where she would care about Trina.

Tori sighed, and leaned against a wall. She had wondered why Ratigan took her sister, and she also wondered why he didn't take the rest of them. It wasn't like she wanted him too, but Trina wasn't the only one there, and she was pretty sure she saw the evil rat sneer at her.

Suddenly, Tori hear voices. She listened carefully, and recognized one of them as Trina.

"Let me go, you big stupid rat! Let me go!" Trina shouted. "I'm not going to let you get away with this. You are a filthy sewer rat! You-"

"SHUT UP!" the other voice which Tori assumed was Ratigan shouted back. After that, Tori heard nothing anymore. That alone told her that Trina really need help, and fast.

"We really need to help Trina." Tori said after a minute of silence. Jade and Cat looked at her in agreement.

"I think I can assist you girls."

The girls almost jumped at the sound of that voice. "Who said that?" Jade asked.

"I did." The person walked in front of the girls. Except... he was a mouse. He was tall, and wearing a brown Inverness coat, deer stalker hat on his head, magnifying glass in hand, dark green eyes, and a bright smile.

"Basil of Baker Street. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Basil took each of the girls hands, and planted a soft kiss on them. But all the girls could do now was gaped at him.

Nellie: Hooray! Basil is here to save the day. To save Trina of course. But what does Ratigan want with her? Most importantly, what does he want with all of the girls? That's it for this chapter. Review, please. Thank you.
