Guided by the stars

Iza can feel her feet sink into the grass, her breathing heavy as she panted. She looked back to make sure she wasn't being chased, and sighed  when she noticed that there was no one else was in sight.

With the relief that she was alone, she looked around to see where she was at. Iza noticed that she was far from her home, if she even believed if it was her home. She sighed once again and turned back around and continued walking, keeping eye of her surroundings as she did.

"This would be much better if I had grabbed my shoes when I ran!" Iza told herself, "Now I have to go on BAREFOOT!!"

She crossed her arms, continuing to drag herself along.

"Stupid guy, or girl, or WHOEVER THAT PERSON WAS barely gave me time to get out anyways,"

But then something came to her mind. Why did they kill her family in the first place. Especially if they were the royal family.

"Hmm.."

She thought for a moment.

"Eh, I don't know! But at least they gave me a chance to go out searching now!"

Iza smiled to herself, excited that she can finally go out searching for her real family. Ever since Iza was around 5 years old she realized how different she had looked from her family. The family she seemed to had been *born* in had bright orange hair, while Iza had brown and blondish hair.

She had always asked questions about it but they always said "oh you just got it from a different family member!"
But she never believed that because she knew the rest of the family all looked exactly the same. So Iza made a plan. She decided that one day, she'll run off when she got the chance.

Iza had planned this to be a couple months from now, but when her *family* got murdered, she had to start the run early. That when she began to think, where would her real family be at?

"Hmm, ah! I know, maybe around the village! For sure I wouldn't be born so far from my *home* in the first place!"

But Iza realized, where is she in the first place, how far is the village, and how long will it take her to get there?

"Oh man.." she said to herself, " I should had thought before I got so far.."

Iza looked around once more to see any sign of someway to get somewhere, but all she could see was grass, trees, and bushes.

She was far away from any village.

"UGHHHH!!! Man this is so stupid!! Now what am I supposed to do?!"

Iza stomped her foot out of frustration, her hands squeezing the skirt of her blue dress, before taking a deep breath and calming down.
For sure there could be at least one way to get to a village. She thought for a minute until something popped up in her mind. What if there's a river, that can lead to a village!

"AHA! A river! I could follow a river and see where it could take me! HAHA! I'm so smart! Probably because I'm a princess."

And so, she headed off to find a river!
