PROLOGUE
She felt her heart beating wildly against her chest,as if at one moment it would rip her chest and come out. She knew she had to stop but couldn't, her mother's words still echoed inside her head.
"Run Elizabeth, run till you cannot run anymore, just get there!".
Wildly she ran but suddenly, she say the world dissolving around her and knew this was it. She crumpled to the ground in a dead faint.

In the middle of south Kenya, in a jungle almost as thick as the Amazon stood a lovely cottage surrounded by different flowers, lavender, chrysanthemum, rose etc. Its surroundings were wiped clean such that it stood out amongst the tall trees of the jungle. In a small, beautifully decorated room, 12 year old Elizabeth "Bertsy" Edmonds played happily with her dolls Mrs Lily and Lola.
"where have you been young woman?"she said in a parody of her mother and giggled.
She was so busy playing that she didn't notice a car pulling up outside and two men getting out. It was only when she heard gunshots that she became aware of something. The gunshots were followed by the front door banging, then a car engine roaring to life. The gunshots seemed to have come from the kitchen, where she hadn't been allowed earlier because she either broke the glasses or spilt the milk when she tried to help her mom make tea. Wildly, she ran to the kitchen where she was greeted by a horrific sight. Her mom lay on the kitchen floor, with blood all over her stomach.
"Mommy!" she screamed.
"Shh,Elizabeth,listen to me...."Jenny Edmonds forced herself to say.
"What should I do mommy?" Bertsy asked.
"Leave now,don't worry about me", Jenny said.
"WHAT? Leave you here?" Bertsie was hysteric.
"Yes honey. There is nothing you can do for me. Run to the magic island", Jenny said and said a whole lot of directions that Bertsy only understood a few of.
"...but mom..."Bertsy protested.
"Run Elizabeth, run till you cannot run anymore, just get there", Jenny said as she threw out blood. Slowly, Bertsy had turned and walked away from her life, her protector, her guider, the woman who had carried her in the womb for 9 months, her mother...
