Title: the fabulous journey
This is chapter 1 of Timothy's journey so i hope you like it here goes.
'Shh! Spread the word we're escaping tonight,' whispered Timothy into Chipper's ear. Timothy was a small dormouse with large ears and a bushy tail. He had soft, fine fur that was a hazel colour.
'No way' said Chipper, 'we've escaped three times and we got caught three times and our punishment for escaping....' Chipper looked behind at his rear. There were three scars.
'Ohh don't make me even remember the strap that each mouse got for escaping. The pain kept ringing for days,' Chipper whimpered.
'Well we have to,' Timothy pleaded. 'They're taking all of us north to head for Camp Oak.'
'Camp Oak!' Chipper interrupted 'It dosen't exist.'
'Yes it does. I heard Captain Slyeye talking to Sopjia about it. He wants to make us soldiers. That means we have to fight for him and that also means we will be fighting against Camp Oak. But if we escape and get to Camp Oak before Slyeye, we can warn the creatures that they are going to be attacked by Slyeye and his horde. We'd be heroes.' Timothy said hoping he had convinced Chipper.
'Humm I'm not so sure about this. We haven't got a weapon to fight with,' Chipper said a bit of worry in his voice.
Timothy revealed two rusty daggers he had stolen and he handed one to Chipper. Chipper's face was lit up with excitement. He took the dagger into his paws and looked at it as if it were a treasure. He started swishing the air with his dagger, yelling out threats to the imaginary sea rat that stood in front of him.
'Take that and that and how about some of this!'
