I startled awake in the middle of the night. There was a small noise coming from somewhere in the room I was staying in. Scared, I clung to the cover, pulling it over me, hoping for safety.
Then there came a clacking noise, so small yet so loud in my ears. I knew I was being irrational about this whole thing and that I had to face whatever was making that noise. Tentatively, I peek out from under the covers to see what was causing the noise. In the middle of the room was a very small gray thing. I squinted in the dim light to see what appeared to be a baby mouse.
It looked up and wiggled its nose at me, almost as if it were saying hello. I pulled back the covers to go look at the baby mouse closer but once I got up from the bed, it had vanished.
"Mouse! Mouse?" I called, searching the room frantically.
I woke up to find myself on the floor, clutching the covers in one hand. Was it a dream? I wondered.
Just at that moment, Quinn came in. "Ash, I was wondering if you- what are you doing on the floor, silly?"
She let out a kind laugh and helped me up from the floor. "I saw a mouse," I mumbled, still very much groggy from just waking up.
"Really? Weird... there shouldn't be any mice here," She gave me a crooked smile. "Maybe you dreamed it?"
I rubbed at my eyes, my hair a complete mess. "No, no, I saw a mouse..."
She laughed again and rubbed my back on a soothing manner. "Alright, I believe you. So, what do you want to have for breakfast?"
"Uhm.." I stumbled after her in the kitchen, the thought of breakfast dancing around in my mind, the mouse, temporarily forgotten.
Sorry for the delay, hope you all weren't waiting for too long. I think my writing improved by a long shot, not gonna lie-
