other man’s face that made me curious.
    ‘You don’t remember me, do you?’
    A flashback hit me. He was the man I had met in the café just before we’d moved. My cheeks heated when I remembered that I had been in my pyjamas. His hair had grown out a bit but his blue eyes still pierced me.
    ‘Is that why you were following me?’ I felt small and stupid. I didn’t know how to act or what to do when it came to men. I was so inexperienced. I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to most people.
    ‘No, I was following you because I work for…’
    I spun and jumped the wall. A rush of air pushed my dress up as I plunged back into the river. If it was the same man that had seen me go in the river earlier, he would know that I could swim well. As I let my body sink again, something heavy splashed next to me. A hand grabbed my wrist and pulled, dragging me to the surface.
    ‘I’m sorry, Pisces, but you need to come with me.’
    Raising my fist, I punched him in the nose. He swore. It wasn’t enough. I tried to get him underwater but he was a lot stronger than I thought.
    ‘The more you fight, the harder it is,’ he said as he pulled me toward the wall.
    My muscles were tired and my throat was sore. I had to keep swallowing to make the sting of tears go away.
    ‘I’m not a bad man,’ he grumbled as he pulled me to the ladder attached to the brick wall.
    He pushed me to it but I refused to get on. He started to climb, dragging me with him. I swore and tried to hit his head. The water hindered me as I tried to wrench free but he wouldn’t let go. My wrist burned where he gripped me.
    ‘Just stop!’ he shouted.
    ‘Is everything okay down there?’ a man called from above.
    I was about to scream.
    ‘I work for your father,’ the man hissed in my face. ‘I’m your new bodyguard.’
    I faltered, giving him momentum to get his foot on another rung.
    ‘My girlfriend fell in. I’m trying to help her.’
    I wanted to hit him again but instead I held the railings with my other hand and tried to get out of his grip. Another hand grabbed my arm and lifted me up.
    ‘Thank you.’ My captor shook hands with the older man.
    ‘Does she need an ambulance?’ he asked.
    Could my father be looking out for me, instead of trying to kill me?
    I wanted to tell the man that I was being kidnapped but something made me keep my mouth shut. If the police were called, it would bring attention to my family. I had been so stupid with the man I kissed. I should have gone straight home with Cancer the moment I realised we were being chased.
    ‘She’s my girlfriend and we’ve had a fight. She’s fine.’
    I found myself nodding along as he hurried me away from the people who had gathered. My intuition was never wrong and something was telling me to go with him.
    ‘You need to let go,’ I hissed.
    He laughed and I found myself looking up into his face. I hated him for forcing me to do what he wanted but it was impossible to look away.
    ‘Like I said, I work for your father. He wants to see you.’
    Something inside me flipped. I felt different all of a sudden. Father had been gone for five years. A part of me wanted to see the man who had abandoned us. I had secretly wished he would come back and help us to escape from our mother. She had made us fear him but I wanted to see him face to face. I needed to find out why he had gone. Not knowing had almost killed me. It seemed that I would now have the opportunity to get my answer.

    ‘You can let go.’ I pulled out of his grip so hard I almost lost my balance.
    It was hard to know where I was. We'd been driving for an hour in a car with blacked out windows . I had tried to keep track but my brain had given up. At least my clothes were bearable to wear now that they had dried.
    ‘I’ll show you to your room.’ He took my arm as I climbed out of the car.
    ‘Will you take your hands off me?’ I shoved him in the chest.
    He tripped but managed to keep his
