"Oh I guess I'll have to start need to find him." I said getting up and walking away

"Becareful with the wolfs in the woods. " Vennessa said laughing and disappearing along with her stuff

I been walking for a few minutes but it felt like hours .

I came across a cave so I decided to take shelter in the cave for tonight and continue my new life .

Now to see what Flounder pack for me as I opened my bag their was little cheese and bread .

So I made a cheese sandwich it starting to get cold but I don't know how to start a fire the maids usely do that . Before I knew it I feel alsleep

The next morning I could hear some kind of animal next to me so I opened my eyes to see a racoon eatting my bread and cheese but what was left was crums .

"H-hey don't eat that. Now what am I going to eat?" I said looking at the racoon but it ran out of the cave and up a tree with a sign I picked up my bag and left the cave to find something to eat .

Around noon I found a couple of berrys bushes that didn't fill me up but somehow i end up in the country .

I am still thanking what that fortune teller tolded me that I'll find love soon . how soon thought ?

But I hope ill find a river . Would I have marry the stranger by now ?

But I came across a little town reststop i decide to go in and get something to drink.

I sit down beside the door then I looked around they made this like a family reststop I can see kids playing outside with a dog that looks like a sheepdog .

I been watching the kids and the dog I didn't notice a person standing behind me until their hand touched my shoulder .

"His name is Max my nephew got him as a puppy for his birthday . So what would you like to have? " Old lady said with a note pad and pencil with a smile

He is a cute dog can I please have some water." I said with a little laugh

"It will be right out."old lady said as she left and came back with a cup of water

"Thank you so much . How much for the water miss?" I said began drinking the cool water

"Oh hunny , the water here is free and you can call me Carlotta. "Carlotta said with a smile walking off going to a new customer

As soon as I got done with the water I took a look around town it was a nice and before I knew it .

It was dark now I need to find somewhere to sleep . I walked around to find somewhere to sleep but they are closed everywhere .

So I decide to get a little shut eye on the bench next to family reststop to continue but I didn't knew I was more tired then I thought I was . But I didn't see the shadow of a person eather

Oh no what will happen to Ariel ? I don't know yet ;)
