**Willows’s story** “Bye Mrs Penpen! I’ll be back soon, I’m just going to the market.” Willow Tinging informed the orphanage owner. “Ok be back before supper.” Mrs Penpen said. Mrs Penpen was like a mother to Willow, and thoe she liked all the other kids in the orphanage, Willow was her favorite of them all. So Willow set out towards the village and it wasn’t long until she reached her destination. She walked over to the seafood stand that was owned by Mr LuAchi. “Ah, ‘ello Miss Willow,”he said in his old accent. “Hey Mr Lu, been a good day of business so far?” Willow asked “yeah, ok. . . could be a bit better thoe.” He said as a frown creased his old weather born face. “But anyway what would you like today?” Mr LuAchi questioned “um. . . I think I’ll have some whiting, scallops and three lobsters with a fillet of tuna.” She ended. “Thats some pretty expensive tastes you got there.” He said handing her the seafood. She giggled “Bye Mr Lu!” She yelled waving frantically. “Bye Willow!” He yelled back “see you soon!” Willow skipped happily down the road until. . . “Ah!!!” She screamed as she was pulled away into the darkness of the woods. Until everything finally went black. She woke to the soft crackles of a fire and a light breeze at her face. “Oh, finally sleeping beauty has finally decided to wake up, you know you actually had me worried for a second there.” Said a tall lightly tanned boy with slightly curled shoulder length brown hair. “What what happened?” Willow stammered “a big man with a crowbar tried t kidnap you, but luckily for you I was around. I saved you and dragged you over here into the woods,” he paused “you know, you didn’t put up much of a fight.” He joked. “Oh” she said and she slowly went back to sleep. The next day the boy showed her around the forest, what to eat and what not to eat, the good animals and the bad animals. “Ok time to go home now.” The boy said. “Ok” she sighed. He showed her back to the village. “Bye” he said “bye” Willow said back but before she had time to thank him he had all ready faded into the darkness of the woods. When she got to the front of the orphanage there was police cars all over the place. She walked through the door, “hi Mrs Penpen” she said as she skipped through the foyer. All of a sudden she woke up. . . IT WAS JUST A DREAM! . . . OR WAS IT?!
