You must target two creatures as you cast Whiplash Trap. If you can't (because just one creature is on the battlefield, perhaps), you can't cast the spell.

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

2009-10-01wotc

You can target any two creatures, not just ones that entered this turn.
