Escaping
A Rat Love Story


Ghost [m] and Pangaea [f]
"We're gonna escape, Pangi!" I said to my mate, who wasn't very confident at this point. The Volcano was erupting, Mauna Kea to be exact. I didn't know what life was like outside of Hawaii, and I didn't even know that we had a Volcano on this island! Our home was being covered with lava, and it was all pooring in from windows. Our humans managed to escape, and I heard the littlest one crying, because Pangaea and myself could not be taken with them.
I was biting on the cage so hard. I just couldn't get out, but I wasn't going to tell Pangaea. She just looked at me and finally said, "I love you, Ghost." I knew what she was thinking. She knew that we weren't going to make it. "No, Pangi! Think positive!" I yelled back at her. She looked at me with sad eyes, and her and I both knew that we weren't going to make it. I kissed her soft fur and then started nibbling again. "Hon, could you come and nibble this side while I nibble at the other side?" I asked her. She nodded her head and began to bite at the cage.
Phew. Free at last! After a couple minutes of biting, the cage door flew open and we were out. But there was lava all over the floor. What we were suppose to do? We looked around. Our humans had left their toys! There was a doll helicopter, thank goodness. Pangaea saw it too. I nodded to her and told her that I loved her, kissed her on the cheek and went towards the helicopter. How am I suppose to get to it? I thought to myself. Then I remembered our cage. We had a wheel in it and it extended far out. It was a hamster cage, but we didn't mind. I climbed on the cage, and then to the highest point. "What are you doing?!" screamed Pangaea. I didn't answer her, just jumped right to the top of the helicopter. Luckily, I made it. This thing would be a breeze to fly! I had done it many times when the humans left. I flew the helicopter over and told my mate to get in. She did so, and I flew the helicopter to the window, then out. We caught up with our humans. "Mom! Look!" screamed the littlest human. "Its Ghost and Pangaea!" Our human Mom was amazed. I flew the helicopter over to her. She grabbed it, then turned it off. "To save the battery," she said softly.
Then we all sped walked away from the Volcano, we were pretty far away from it, but just then, somebody screamed, "Lava!" they were obviously a tourist. They had a funny accent, atleast to me. My Human Mom switched on the switch and told me to go fly the helicopter, right behind her and the family. I did as I was commanded, as my humans ran in terror.
