Water. "Ahh!" I cried out as I sat up. I looked up and saw the woman standing over me holding a bucket. "Did I forget to tell you that I hate water just as much as I hate cats?" I tried sitting up more but something was different. I looked around and saw everything seemed ten times bigger than it was before. "Hey what's going on?" I looked to the woman again who had an eerie smirk on her face. She wasn't that tall before was she?  I looked around more and saw the cats behind me were my size. Giants. "Ahh!" I cried out and backed up towards the woman.

"Mister Aiken, I sentence you to spend three days as a cat." The woman looked down at me. Wait...did she just say what I think she said? I looked to my hand and saw it wasn't a hand anymore but a orange and white striped paw.

"No no no.. this can't be happening!" I groaned. "Please! Whatever I did wrong, I'm sorry!" I began to rub against the woman's leg. "Please just change me back, no wait, put me down!" I begged as the woman bent over and picked me up. I looked over her arm and began to fidget wanting to get the heck down until I saw the cats walking towards her.

"Don't worry Mister Aiken, this is just a small lesson to teach you how to treat cats." the woman said as she scratched my cheeks and behind my ears. Hey this doesn't feel half bad...I thought as I began to get a fuzzy feeling in my throat. Suddenly I remembered the situation I was in and batted a paw at her hand to make her stop.

"Yknow what? I've learned to never walk in alleys again, so you can change me back now." I wriggled more wanting to get out of here. Wait...this is a dream I suddenly realized, It's a dream and I'm going to wake up in my bed and Bex will have made me waffles...or pancakes, yeah after I wake up from this I'm going to be in a pancake mood.

"It's not a dream Mister Aiken." The woman grasped me tighter and stared down into my eyes.

I tried my best at a mean glare but I have a feeling it came out more like an innocent plea. "Oh, so you're invading my head now? When will it stop?"

"Meet me in this alley in three days before sun down, I will make it stop then. If you're late then you will be forced to live the rest of your life as a cat." Her voice warned as she leaned down a little to let Clay slip from her arms to the ground.

"Forever?" Clay asked as he turned to face the woman, but she was gone. Great, now what do I do? I thought as I paced back and forth.  I accidently bumped into a somewhat larger cat and jumped back a little as it hissed at me. "Sorry! I didn't mean to," I explained but the cat only meowed angerly. "Yeah I forgot, you�re a cat and I'm just a guy stuck in a cat's body." I muttered feeling somewhat alone.

The cat still upset from my accident swiped a paw that struck a little too close to my nose. "Ow! I said I was sorry!" I stepped back a little before the cat could attack again. The cat's back arched as it prepared to strike again. Not the clouds again I thought as another shadow fell overhead, I was surprised to find it was from another cat landing in front of me.

"Go, now!" The new cat ordered. I didn't move right away until she(At least I think it was a she) yelled, "GO!" at me again. I turned around and began running as fast my new legs could go, not stopping until I was out of the alley and back into the city that was slowly turning into night.
