Here. It’s shorter then usual, it’s just what I could get out at the moment🙃notes?

My life was washing away into the ocean.

What was I gonna do? I still had no idea what to do about my friends, and I had nowhere to go. There was no way I could go home now. I have been gone for more than 24 hours(thinking about that suddenly made me very tired), meaning that the guard will be looking for me. Once he finds me, he’ll probably have me put in juvenile detention, acaused for trying to set something else on fire. There is no way I’ll be able to return.

I suddenly took this in. I, can’t, return, home. I have nowhere to go. Soon the beach will be investigated, and I have no way of going to other islands, unless my cousin coincidently comes along on his ship.

My house, my town, was no longer my home.

Sadly I didn’t have enough time to wallow in my deep sorrow. I suddenly heard voices coming from the woods outside the cliff. They were coming to the beach! Why now? Was it for the search party or finding me?? How could they know I was here?

I started running. I didn’t know where but far off. I couldn’t go to the cave cause that’s the first place they would look. So I ran towards the far side of the cliff.

When I got there I came to another realization. I was cornered. My fate was sealed. I was gonna return to the place that was once my home but now my enemy. Whatever respect o had before, i would never get it back. I would progress life in a cell where I would be viewed as the vermin I always was. I-I… I will never get to meet my family.

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my already injured ankle. I let out a sharp cry, right before I was being dragged. I struggles and yelped, trying to see what was dragging me, but all I could see was dirt, so I had to close my eyes to keep them from getting filled with sand. Everything hurt as I was being skidded against the sand, and soon soil. I felt my surroundings get darker. And finally, it stopped. I flipped over on my back and was about to open my eyes when I felt warm breath on my face. I decided to close my eyes to keep the death quick. I thought that this was a way better ending then rotting in a cell. It was quite confusing when I started feeling something lick my face. I slowly opened my eyes expecting to see that green monster, when I instead saw.

“MOMO! Hi!” I bent down to pet the dog that was jumping around and smiling. And gave many happy barks.

“I haven’t seen you since I brought you back to the forest! Did you miss me?” I petted his head. His has gotten a lot bigger. And his paw healed. Still a scar was left, but better than nothing.

“You must have come here when the fire burned the forest! I'm sorry I didn’t come for you earlier.” I said apologetically. But thankfully the licks I got on my hand reassured me that he forgave me.

I looked around at my surroundings. I was in this cave. Not as big as newts but the ceiling was taller. There was a small water trail but other than that not much.

“So this is where you have been staying. Huh.” I took a closer look. At the end of the cave, there was another tunnel. What is with this place and tunnels? But at least I wasn’t cornered anymore. And I had a guard. A real one I mean.

I bent down next to momo and smiled. “Do you know where this cave leads?”

Momo just tilted his head.

“Eh, thought so. I must be really tired to think I would get an answer.” I yawned remembering that I haven’t slept in more than about 25 hours. I sat down against the rock wall starting to shiver, wondering what to do. Momo came up and curled up next to me.

“Ok then, a few hours of sleep, and then we go through that cave and see where it takes us.” I smiled down at momo, petted his head, and closed my eyes.

And I didn’t wake up for the next 16 hours.
