"Chris! It's almost time to go to bed," Mom called to me. "Don't forget to feed TigerLily"
"Okay," I said.
TigerLily, my pet cat rubbed her head on my leg, begging for food. When I got out the bag of cat food and looked inside to see there was no food at all. I went up stairs to tell mom.
"Are you sure you can go to the pet store by yourself?"
"Yeah it'll be easy and I'll come straight back home" I reassured her.
So, I put my coat and boots on and brought TigerLily with me.
It was a dark and stormy night.
"You just had to finish the last of your cat food on the rainiest day of the year"
"Mew" was TigerLily's answer. When I arrived at the pet store it was still open.
"Okay, stay here TigerLily, don't move,"
"Mew"
I went inside the pet store.
"Let's see… Happy Pet, Super Chow, Jumbo Pet…. Here it is Tasti-Pet!"
After I paid the clerk I went out to see that TigerLily was…. Gone.
"TigerLily! I must've let the collar too !"
"REOW!"
TigerLily! She's been taken. I followed her cries that lead me to a huge dark figure holding my cat. Then it started running away.
"Stop! Thief! TigerLily!WHOOOOOA!"
I tripped over a hill into some boxes in a junkyard.
"Stupid hill. Where are you now?"
In front of me was a pipe full of purple goo.
"Whoa!"
I looked down and saw….animal footprints!
Whatever took TigerLily went inside the pipe. Should l go? I told mom I'll come straight back home, but I can't go home without TigerLily. I had her ever since she was a kitten and her brother, Minnaloshe , Martin's cat, would be very sad that his sister was taken away. I had to go into that pipe….for TigerLily.
