Ooc; this is a mouse roleplay in first person (I). I'd appreciate if we could keep the roleplaying at a high level-not quite developed, but properly written. =)
Ic; Tiny black eyes darted from side to side, scanning the clearing, looking for cover. Tiny round ears, pricked and alert, listened for the faintest sound. Tiny paws made a drumming sound as they thudded on the soft forest ground. A tiny heart, fragile as glass and warm as a flame, beat at a frantic rhythm in a tiny, furry chest. Several louder, faster pawsteps echoed behind. Growls and panting could be heard, and the noise of unsheathed claws as they scraped the rock. I was being chased. I could see their eyes gleam in the shadows behind me, flashing eyes full of fury and malice. Don't get caught. Please don't get caught. the thought repeated itself over and over in my mind, and I knew it was right. I had to run, run for my life. I had to get away. And not get caught.
Ooc; she does not know who those creatures are yet (and I don't either xD). If you decide to jump in, please play a mouse. =D

I saw the small brown shape of another mouse flashing past me only moments before I heard the thudding. My heart almost skipped a beat as my legs were forced into motion, my feet skimming over the ground as I ducked under leaves and clambered over roots.
I would have called out to the other mouse I could see ahead of me, but I hadn't the breath or the words to explain that I was following them in hope of sharing whatever shelter they found. All I knew was I had to get somewhere safe, and that the heavy pawsteps behind be were getting closer...

I watched worriedly as two other mice darted by as quick as the fastest rabbit. Where were they going? What were they doing. A ferocious call of a beast split the air and I knew I had to follow. But I didn't, we could chat later. I jumped out of the thundering creatures path and darted for the safety of my burrow beneath an old beech tree.
I didn't get it. I just didn't.'Oh Spot', I thought worriedly.'What are these things'? I ran on and on faster,faster my young heart thudding like the largest raindrops. I really should go find those others but no. I quivered with fear as I fiannly reached my burrow. Let's hope they don't dig me out.

My tiny paws hit the ground with a quiet pitter patter as I ran though the darkness. A louder rumble sounded behind me, almost drowning out every other background noises. I spotted a mouse ahead of me, though only a very faint silhouette, and increased my speed to catch up. I was only a tail length away, but it hurt to push any harder. "Hey!' I called to the other mouse.

It would have slowed me down too much to twist my head backwards and see who was behind me, so instead, trusting my instinct and my ears that both told me the voice belonged to a mouse, I replied, making the words as short as I could so as not to waste my breath: "Follow me!"

I called back to the other mouse, hoping they would hear me over the loud rumbling. "Ok, I'm right behind you!" I called to them. I pricked my ears and prepared to either turn or stop abruptly, not knowing what the other mouse would do. I just hope they didn't take to long. I was running out of breath and energy fast, and I wasn't sure how much longer I could go on.

There it was, just before me and a little to the left. I just needed to slow enough to be able to slip through the hole without crashing into the wall, but not so much as to let the creatures catch up. Easy to say, harder to do. "Here!" I gasped to the mouse behind me. Now was the right moment. I just needed to crouch, keep running, ow — must've banged my head — I'm inside and safe! Panting, tired, wounded but safe! "You there," I panted, turning around in the darkness to see if the other mouse had made it, "Are you there?"

I rushed into the small dark hole ahead of me and ducked just in time to miss the wall. I caught my breath bfore answering the other mouse. "Yes, I'm here." I told the other mouse. "That was close." I chuckled slightly and padded over to the other mouse. "I'm Oliver," I said. "Nice to meet you, although unexpected and in an unpleasant way."

I would have smiled, but my lips wouldn't obey. "Nice to meet you, Oliver. I wish I could tell you who I am, but the thing is . . . I don't know myself." I shrugged and lay down on my side, closing my eyes. "I hope you don't mind if I rest a little."

I smiled at the other mouse, as I keep calling her, and looked her in the eye. "Wow, well that's..." I chose my words carefully. "interesting indeed." I watched as she lay down. "No, not at all." I insisted. "I'm actually exhausted too." I lay, curled up, a little way from her and smiled kindly. "We can talk about this tomorrow morning if you want." I suggested.

ooc|| next morning?
ic|| I yawned once before starting to groom my messy fur. I hadn't noticed after yesterday's events, it was some day. I shook my head clear of the thoughts and carried on washing. After that, I was starting to feel quite hungry. I sniffed around for anything that could fill my appetite. I should probably find something for the other mouse while I was at it. My gaze traveled to where she lay, sound asleep.
ooc|| what do mice eat? xD

ooc;; i just googled it : seeds, grains, nuts, root and insects apparently. xD
ic; As soon as I felt movement around me my ears perked up and my muscles tense. I was already half awake and looking around the small cave in panic when I remembered there was another mouse here with me. "Hey, you," I called, then, remembering his name, "Oliver, what are you doing? We need to go out and search for food.

ooc|| xD ok.
ic|| I turned my head sharply to look at the other mouse. "That was what I was just about to do." I explained. "I was going to do it while you were asleep, but you woke up before I could." I smiled at her, hoping she didn't think I was going to run away or anything. Because I definitely wasn't!

I nodded. "All right." I said, eyeing him. "But while you stay here with me, we need to establish a few rules for our safety. First one is, we always stay together, and if we need to be alone for a while we always tell the other where we're going. We always share the food. And most important, we stay out of trouble." I stopped speaking abruptly and started walking towards the hole in the wall. "Now let's go look for food."

I nodded my head to show her I understood. "Alright." I told her. "Let's go."

I smiled, glad and surprised he hadn't argued, and led the way outside. It all seemed peaceful, but I after what had happened, didn't trust appearances anymore.

I sniffed around for any nuts that might be laying around.

My nose picked up a delicious smell coming from a nearby tree, nuts. I turned to 'the other mouse', I really needed to come up with a name for the mouse so I could stop calling her that, and stopped. "I can smell nuts up ahead." I said. "We should be careful, we might not be the only ones here."
