Willow Goes Missing
Loading...
Hi, my name is Nayvee. I'm 15 years old and my best friend is my dog Willow. I adopted Willow last year because I was bullied at school and needed a friend to be by my side to comfort me. These girls from the sorrowful world at my school would make fun of my looks and height. They would call me names like Nerdy Nayvee and I just couldn't take it anymore. My grades started dropping and I started skipping school. I was miserable. I couldn't even smile anymore. I just wanted to give up. I went from being the smartest girl in the school to the dumbest just because of the things those girls said. But one thing I didn't realize was that every time I cried the sky started storming. I thought it was just a coincidence so I didn't think much of it. With every tear I shed the sky would keep storming and storming and storming. But whenever I stopped crying it cleared up.
I woke up one day and decided to take a walk to the pet shop to clear my head. Before I walked in, in the window I saw the cutest dog ever. I went inside and asked the worker if I could hold that dog and he addressed “Yes, of course!”.

I picked her up and I swear I got lost in her eyes she was so cute. I knew that I needed to take her home so I did. I decided to name her Willow. I began to play with her and while I was it was almost like I forgot everything that happened to me when I touched her. Willow made me so happy. I started to go back to school but this time with Willow. And whenever those rude girls said stuff to me it didn't affect me because Willow was there. Willow was like a key to my happiness. I got home and took Willow to the park. We played fetch with her favorite toy a pink sloth.
While we were playing 4 girls came up to me. There the same girls that bully me I thought. “What do you want,” I said. “We just wanna know why your sitting on the grass looking like a dog,” they said and laughed. I told them that I was playing with my dog Willow. “What dog? Are you the dog?” they snickered.
I looked behind me and Willow was gone. “She was just here a second ago,” I replied. They laughed “Later Loser,” they called. I started freaking out I got up and started searching for Willow. “Willow, Willow!!” I called. No response, all I could hear was my voice echoing and the girls laughing at me.

I started to cry and so did the sky. I looked everywhere but Willow was nowhere to be found. All I could do now was just go home and pray that Willow would show up. I stayed up late making missing flyers for Willow. The next morning instead of going to school I looked for Willow. I couldn’t stop crying. The sky was rumbling as my tears ran down my face. I noticed that a lot of people were packing their bags and heading out of town because of the storms. I knew I had to find Willow fast. I spent hours looking for Willow but again she was nowhere to be found. I started to lose hope until my phone started to ring. Ring ring ring. “Hello?” I said. “Hi, I think I might have some information about your dog,” they said. I was so excited to hear this news, I said “ Like what?! Also what is your name?”. “ My name is Bridger and I think I might have seen someone with your dog heading south,” Bridger said. I thought to myself south why would anyone want to go south? Then it hit me. “Thank you for your help but I have to go now. Bye,” I said.
Willow is probably in the sorrowful world!! I ran home and started to pack my bag. I guess we’re going on a road trip. I hopped in my Barbie mobile and hit the road.
The sorrowful world is a terrible place. It’s dark and all around you are poor souls filled with anger and sadness. While I was driving my GPS led me to this sketchy road. It was filled with broken street lights and no one was on it. I was a little freaked out but I kept driving. While I was driving I lost my signal on my phone. I thought hmm that’s weird. I just ignored it but the next thing I knew a random creature jumped on my Barbie mobile. “AHHH!” I yelled. This creature appeared to be a... EVIL UNICORN? Evil unicorns are the most powerful creatures in the world. One hit and you're dead. I knew I had to be very cautious so I started to speed up. I was going about 120 miles per hour but I didn’t care. I wanted to find Willow and get this unicorn off my car. I tried to break but my car wouldn’t let me. Oh no, I thought my break popped out of its place. Which means I’m unable to stop my car! Right now I’m now going 150 mph and I’m unable to stop. Next thing I know my Barbie Mobile crashes in a tree. The evil unicorn is dead and so Is my Barbie Mobile. Somehow I’m not dead but I have a cut on the side of my face from the glass window. ’m now stranded on a sketchy road with no type of transportation other than walking the rest of the way.

I take my spare phone out of my bag and put the address of the sorrowful world in. To walk there it will take me about 6 hours. I just lay on the ground hopeless. There is no way I’m walking for 6 hours. I put a scooter rental place in my GPS and headed there. It’s only 23 minutes away so I think I can do it, we’ll I hope I can. 
I get to the scooter place and go inside. I approached the scooter guy “ Hi! I am here to rent a scooter!”. “ Well no duh it’s a scooted rental, I only sell scooters,” he said. Well, that was rude I thought. “ How long are you looking to rent this scooter for?” He asked. I replied “About a week.” “ Woah there sweetie I only allow my renters to rent my scooters for as long as 4 days,” I pulled out $450.00 “ Will this allow me to rent it for a week?” I asked. “ No way, that's not gonna make the cut. Now get out of my store!” He yelled. I started to walk toward the door and I grabbed a scooter. It turns out I stole an electric scooter which was perfect because I would go 10 times faster. HEY GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE GREMLIN,” the scooter guy screamed. “Catch me later scooter guy, more like loser guy” I yelled back. After my powerful exit from the scooter rental, I gained so much more confidence.
