Alissa and Her Turtle By: Maria E.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Alissa and she had a turtle named Amaya. Amaya was 1 year old, and Alissa was 21 years old. They were best friends. One day she went grocery shopping and she left her door open, then a creepy stalker got in and stole Amaya. When Alissa came back she was looking for her turtle Amaya, and Alissa couldn't find her. She got scared, and she thought she would never see her again. Alissa kept looking for her turtle, but she all she saw a note on the counter, and it said, "I have your turtle." Alissa felt sad and angry that the note didn't give her any more information. Alissa always felt sad and depressed because she didn't have her turtle and because she thought that she would never see her again. Alissa decided to go and look for her, but she couldn't because the note did not give her any information. She still decided to look for her around their neighborhood but couldn't find any clues to help. She was upset that she couldn't find her, so she decided to report her missing to the police. Five years later Alissa saw on the news that they found her turtle, and the stalker was arrested. Alissa knew it was Amaya
because she recognized her green eyes. Alissa went to the police station and they gave her turtle back, and they lived happily ever after.
