As we learned 

 

Direction of Electric field -

Due to Positive Charge electric field is always away from the charge.

-

 

 

Because E points along the tangent to the lines of force. If initial velocity is zero, then due to the force, it always moves in the direction of E. Hence will always move on some lines of force.
