You stare at the other mouse, and start saying:"I--" when suddenly you hear a vaguely disturbing noise. You hear shuffling grass and twigs, and your ears instinctively turn towards the sound. Your companion seems to have heard it as well and says:"Let's go, it's not safe here." He then hops away into the underbrush, his sleek tail energetically bouncing behind him. You decide to follow him, and as you run you notice that the grass seems as tall as a jungle forest now. Your sharp eyes manage to keep up with him though, and when you suddenly see him dive into a hole in the ground, you immediately follow. After a few moments he says:"We'll be safe from him here." You stare at him puzzled. "Him?" For a moment he is puzzled, as if you said something strange, but then he says:"the wild cat that lives in this area of the forest. I've seen a lot of people - well, mice that used to be people - get swallowed whole by that beast. I dunno if he was human once too or not, but I don't really care. I just want to get out of here, but I'm afraid that thing will get me. Wait, here he comes. Deeper into the hole." You crawl on your four paws a bit deeper down the mouse hole, which is surprisingly roomy on the inside, as you see a large cat paw reaching inside the hole for a moment, then leaving. "Okay, he's gone", the other mouse says, "now...since there's two of us, maybe we can stand a chance of escaping."
