Thanks to everyone for all your lovely reviews :D here is the next chapter :)

Tazzia's POV

I love the beach! Everyone is happy, just like they should be. I was walking in between mama and daddy, skipping and holding both of their hands. Mama let me do her hair this morning and she looked very pretty and young. Daddy said that he was the luckiest man in the world. Daddy promised me and Jos that he would buy us an ice cream at the beach. Josiah was walking in front of us but he kept looking over his shoulder. Josiah looked very serious but, then again, he always looks serious, even when he is happy. He tells me that he is smiling on the inside.

I smile on the inside and on the outside. Mama says that sometimes I look like the Cheshire cat. I asked her what a Cheshire cat was and she said that she doesn't know. She said that she remembers watching a cat with a big smile on a film when she was a little girl but she doesn't remember which one. Sometimes, if me and Jos can't sleep she tells us stories about this magical land called Disney land. She said that she went there once when she was 4. She doesn't remember it too well but she describes it to us like a picture. One day, I want to go to Disney land and visit the tower like a princess.

When we got to the beach, we set up near the shaded area of the beach. Mama and daddy went off to find Jengo and Josiah ran over to play with his friends. I decided to visit my friends as well so I can tell them all about the shopping trip and the new dress I brought. Karla says that I must be careful and not get lost. I won't get lost. I've lived at this beach ever since I was a baby.

'Hey Tazzy! We missed you. Where have you been?' My friend Shona said. She is the same age as Josiah but she is one of my best friends.

'Mama found a new boyfriend and he's my daddy now.' I tell Shona.

'Is he the American? Jengo told us about him.'

'Yes. He said that he is going to buy me ice-cream today. Would you like to share it with me?'

'Yes please!'

I tell Shona all about the house we're staying in and all of the new friends I made. She seems very happy for me and not jealous at all.

'So what's going to happen when you dad goes back to America?' She asks.

I think about this before replying. 'I guess we would go with him.'

'Wow! I'm going to miss you so much Tazzy!'

'Do you think I should stay?' I ask unsurely.

'Definitely not! Think about it Taz, if you go to America you can go to a school and eat doughnuts and meet Barak Obama!' She tells me earnestly.

'I guess so. I'm going to miss you so much Shona. And the beach and everyone.'

'It would be worth it though. Hey, can you do my hair like yours?' She asks and I agree and start combing though her hair with my fingers.

After a while I feel a thought pushing in my brain. Not so much as a thought but an order.

'Go and get your brother. Walk to the car park behind 'Shady nightclub.' Don't tell anyone where you are going. You and your brother must come alone.'

At first I try and ignore it but after a while, I feel my legs start walking in the direction where Jos was playing football, even though my brain is telling me to stop.

I walk straight onto the pitch, nearly getting knocked over by the football although Jos stops it from hitting me just in time.

'Watch it Taz! I don't want you to get hurt.' He says.

'Josiah. You need to come with me now.' I say with a touch of urgency.

'Why? Is anyone hurt?' He asks anxiously.

'No. Come with me now.' I say, tugging his arm. He must have sensed the importance and followed me to where I was going. I tried stopping although I couldn't.

'Tazzy?! Where are we going?'

'To the car park. Don't tell anyone. Come alone.' I say, getting the voices in my head muddled up.

'Why?'

'Don't know.'

'Tazzy, come on, let's go back to the beach.' Jos gently pulled on my hand in the direction of the beach.

'No. Car park.'

'What's wrong with you Taz? You're looking kinda strange.' Josiah frowns. We're nearly there now; just one more corner to turn. There's a posh car parked in the empty car park. My legs walk me over to it.

'Taz! What's wrong with you?!' Josiah says, his voice getting more panicky as he realises where I am walking towards.

'The voices in my head. They're making me.' I sob.

Before Josiah has time to react, a man with dark skin and black sunglasses gets out of the van carrying a gun.

'Don't make a noise.' He says telepathically and me and Jos shut up fast. Josiah steps in between me and the gun. I think he is trying to protect me.

'Get in the car and no one will get hurt.' The man says although me and Josiah don't move from the spot we are standing in. Mama said we should never get into a car with strangers.

'Get in the car.'

My legs start moving in the direction of the car, despite trying to stand as still as a statue. Josiah is doing the same. Before we know it, we are both sitting in the back seat of the black car. The man with the black sunglasses gets in the driver's seat.

There is another man in the passenger seat. He also has dark skin and is wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

'Who are you?' Josiah says. He doesn't sound scared like me; he sounds angry. I've never seen Jos angry, even when he is arguing with his friends.

The man with the white shirt turns around so we can see his face.

'Don't you recognise your own father Josiah?'
