Dreaming of adventure...

My family and I were on a holiday in what seemed like a magical land. We came to this major town information centre, which was also a gigantic toy store. We went in and were gawking over all the kinds of souveniers that they sell. At their counter, I was suddenly handed this package, so I opened it. Out came a soft toy cat, and some instructions dropped out which I didn't notice.... and the cat to life suddenly and was running about. I didn't know what was going on. Suddenly some people were chasing after us and so we had to run out of the store, me scooping up the cat in the process and escaped in our car. My sister who had lagged behind a little, had also turned into a fawn-coloured cat upon reaching the car, and we didn't know why.

We drove up this mountain hoping to find accomodation. I set the cat free up there and it ran off. My sister still remained a cat and was surprisingly quiet about it. A man who turned out to be the owner of the place on top of the mountain came up to greet us. He was very polite but we sensed some hidden malice behind his smiling facade. We tried asking about this hotel that I picked out of a magazine we had earlier, but it turned out to be the most expensive white mansion resort in the area.

We chose to inspect this darker looking accomodation, and for some reason after checking out a particular room, the rest of my family decided to run out suddenly, leaving me to gather up on remainings and follow. I had major problems dragging everything out of the room, and my sister being a cat wasn't able to help. We were taken prisoners and I tried to feed my sister some liquid which would likely turn her back but she wouldn't comply and kept jumping out of my arms...

Suddenly we were back at the toy store where the trouble began. This bunch of old ladies were nearby looking ominously at us. One of them spoke up, only to tell me that it all was a quest, or to put it more simply, a game. I only had to notice the instructions that came with the first cat I was presented with in this town to be able to piece together the mysteries but because the instructions fell out and I didn't have time to read it, we got into this mess. My sister then walked in smugly as a human being again and I was so relieved, but I had this burning question to ask her, as to how it felt to be a cat. She said that she completely forgot, but I wasn't satisfied with her convenient loss of memory.

I thought the dream I had was interesting enough to compile into a short story in future, haha...
