You live alone with a pet cat. One day the cat starts talking. What does it say, and what happens next?
My loyal cat called Snowflake was brought to me with that name, but I didn’t know why I couldn’t change it, since she wasn’t even white. She was a ginger cat was a strip of white on her head. She adored glitter and sparkles so much, that she was a bit sparkly. I call her to my bed at night, but I always think it’s a dream when she jumps off the window. The thing is she returns every morning, like she was there all night. One day, when I had to go to school, I left my backpack upstairs in my room. When I opened the door, there were sparkles everywhere. At first, I thought it was my jar of glitter, but then I realised it was magic. She was a pure white kitten with a miniature tiara on her head. Maybe it was a dream? An illusion? Maybe he wanted to play dress-up. I didn’t know, but I know for sure, that she was extraordinary. She walked up to me and said, “You found out my secret. I think I can show you my world.” I thought it was a dream for sure, since cats can’t talk, but I pinched myself and I didn’t wake up. At least it was a good exscuse to not go to school. She opened a portal and told me to jump in. I knew I would know more about her in her “world.” I jumped in and appeared in a snowy kingdom. “This is my kingdom, I am know as Queen Snowflake here.” I understood why she was called Snowflake, but why was she disguised? “You’re probably thinking why I was disguised in your world. See I am being tracked by the dogs. They want to put me in prison. They tracked my world. I rarely come here. I jump off your window to go to my kingdom, but I am scared,” said the cat.
“I will help you,” I said bravely. And I already knew my plan. I asked if they had bones and if they made potions. Thank the kittens, they did. I put a trial of bones leading to the grave they would chewed the boned and get cowardly, since we droped a few drops of potion on it. They caught the smell and kept coming. They reached the grave and cats dressed up in zombies scared them away and they were so frightened, the dogs promised they’de never come back. I shouted, “scaredy-cats.” The cats looked at me and got offended. I corrected myself and shouted “scaredy-dogs!” We celebrated our victory and my cat gave me a necklace that opens the portal the her kingdom. I was sad that I had to go, but I promised I’d keep this secret.
