I could see that the sun is low in the western sky. It must be about suppertime, I thought. But I certainly didn't need to look at the sun to figure that out, because I had forgot to pack food and my stomach has been notifying me about the time for hours.
What kind of fugitive am I if I didn't even pack food? I need to find something to eat or I'll faint. I realized that I'm thirsty too. I'm pathetic. This running away thing isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
I must be tired, too, because I started to have conversations with myself inside my head. "Oh look! Am I mistaken… or is that, yes it is! A creek! Thank god. I'm just so thirsty." I knelt down beside the creek, making a cup out of my hands, and drank.
After I'd had my fill of water, I walked over to a big oak tree and sat under it. I felt awful. I didn't know where I was going, let alone I didn't even know where I wanted to go. I should have thought this through. I was just so worried about getting away that I didn't think about what I'd do once I was gone. If only I could go back in time and plan more. Maybe I could've brought a map and I definitely would've packed some food. I was just so caught up in disobeying my parents that I couldn't think straight.
My parents. I wonder what they're doing now. I wonder if they even miss me. They probably only notice I'm gone because they don't have to yell at me to get me to go to their various events and pointless parties. I'm better off without them. I'm already having a better time out here in the woods on my own, even though I'm starving, than I would have back at the palace with those tyrants for parents.
Who needs them? I'll be fine out here on my own. If only I could find something to eat...
FPOV:
It's dark. I've been looking for Enna out here in the woods for about ten hours and I still haven't found even a trace of her. Maybe I should've brought a bloodhound to find her trail, and more food, too.
I didn't really anticipate being out here this long. I guess I figured that she would change her mind about running away and come back toward the castle and I would be there to escort her back. But, what I really didn't take into consideration was that Enna's known to be very, very stubborn.
I guess I should have known better. I just really want to find her safe and sound so we can go back to the palace and have our wedding. I want to be able to pick up where we left off. I feel we were really making progress, and I at least, was very fond of her...maybe even a little more.
I wasn't sure how she felt about me. Maybe the reason she ran away from you is that she hates you. I hurriedly shut up the voices in my head telling me things I couldn't bear to hear, before I broke down.
I tried to guess where i was, but all i saw was trees and the trail that stretched on ahead of me. I didn't know exactly where i was, just somewhere in the kingdom of Kildenzo. Honestly, I didn't even know where Enna had gone. Maybe I was walking in the wrong direction.
But, alas, now she's gone and I fear that it's my fault. I just have to find her, if it's the last thing I do...

I was wandering through the woods, trying to decide which direction would most likely take me farther away from my disaster of a life, when I heard rustling in the fallen leaves.
I crouched down and waited for whatever it was to show itself. From behind a mass of trees emerged my father's army. I recognized them by the kingdom's crest on their arms: the Brave Knight on the Armored Horse, and by their red and gold colored uniforms. From here, I could even recognize Rod, the captain of the guard, and Sal, his right-hand man. Sal was a vile man who had tried more than once, unbeknownst to my father, to catch me alone in my chamber. Fortunately for me, he's not very bright and I manage to evade him easily, much to his dismay.
All in all, I'm not fond of, nor do I feel safe with my father's army. They are pigs, all except for Rod, whom I trust, and I am a hot topic in their barracks. They always brag and make up stories about promises I whisper into their ears late at night. Like I said, pigs.
So when I saw them approaching, I began to back slowly away, trying to put distance myself from the men as far as possible without being noticed. I had backed quite a distance, and I thought I was safe, when all of a sudden I ran into something hard. I turned around slowly to discover that it was my own knight in shining armor, my Finn.
FPOV:
After long hours of searching, I finally heard somebody talking. I followed the voices until I saw the royal army, apparently looking for Enna. I heard mumblings of "Enna" and "the Princess".
My first thought was to jump out of the bushes and ask if they had found her, or at least had her trail.... Then, I got to thinking.
If they find her, what would they do? Would the be angry with her?
I decided it would be best if I found her first. I was creeping away slowly when I saw some movement in the bushes nearby. I quietly crept up to see who it was, because they were obviously hiding. It was my sweet Enna! Trying not to startle her and alert the army standing twenty feet away, I lightly touched her on the shoulder. She turned around, afraid, and her big, beautiful eyes locked with mine.
