Part 3
Willow was sailing to the Green Hollows that morning and she was very dull all morning. But Lora, Natalie, and Xavier all were so excited they tried begging Leeli and Thorn to go early. Lucky for Willow they said no. They were getting the boat ready when Willow walked up to her siblings and heard them talking about how they should sneak out.
“I think when it’s night we should just go out it’s easy!” Lora said.
“No it’s not, Lora. We have to have a little better plan than that” Willow said.
They all jumped surprised to see Willow for she was never with them for planning.
“We need a much better plan than that, Lora,” said Xavier a little mean.
“Xavier! Don’t be rude,” Natalie said, “I think we ought to wait for Aunt Leeli to go shopping in Ban Rona and then sneak away!”
“Yeah! That’s a good plan!” Lora shouted, and then immediately covered her mouth with her hand, “Oops”
“What's a good plan?”
They all looked behind and saw their father, Kalmar! Willow felt her cheeks grow hot and looked at the ground sure that they were caught though in her mind she was kind of glad.
“Umm, er” stammered Xavier.
Willow didn’t want to lie but she couldn't think of anything to say but then Lora said,
“We were just planning what we’ll do when we get to the Hollows!”
It was the truth for they were technically planning what to do in the Hollows but just with a little less details.
“We were thinking about going shopping with Aunt Leeli!” Xavier shouted slightly.
“Well, what else?” Kalmar asked.
“Well I guess go to our friends houses and play with all the dogs,” Willow said, finally looking up.
“Well I hope you kidos have a fun time”
Kalmar walked away and then Gayla–Their mother–came up to them and said,
“Okay are you all ready? Here’s your pack Xavier you forgot it in your bed chamber. And Lora please be good for Leeli no nonsense”
That’s funny, what we're about to do is nonsense. Willow thought then sighed.
“And Natalie! Brush your hair!”
“Yes Mama,” Natalie said.
“And Willow,” Gayla turned to Willow, “Do keep an eye on them in case they get into trouble”
“Yes Mama,” Willow whispered.
Well that settles it. I have to go with them to Throg. Willow sighed then walked up to the boat.
She loved sailing. If she wasn’t so mad about going to Throg she would have enjoyed the day's sail. She heard the sailors laughing, and the splashes of the waves on the boat.
“Are we all ready?” It was Thorn her Uncle.
“Aye!” shouted all the sailors.
“Yes!” Willow's siblings shouted.
“I suppose” Willow said so quietly it was barely a whisper.
WHY. DID. SHE. NOT. TELL!
ARGGG!!!
