Isabella just kept running and running, tears streaming down her face. Why, oh why, did these things always have to happen to her? She regretted doing what she did next.

She looked back.

Then her eyes filled with horror when she saw Papa, whom she thought was running alongside her, being taken away. “PAPA, PAPA” she wailed. Papa looked back at her and mouthed “I’m sorry Isabella.” Isabella didn’t have much time before the guards would go after her, but all she wanted to do was to run to her Papa and try to save him. However, she knew that it would get her in a lot of trouble and Papa would be disappointed in her. So, she ran.

She ran faster than she ever had for a long time. By the time she had stopped running, it was dark out. She took a look around her and saw nothing but miles and miles of forest ahead. She had left the village and was now deep in the forest all by herself. She walked around, in search of food when something big pounced at her and she screamed in horror.
