Taken | Emmi Butler

Prologue

I've always had a happy childhood.

My parents were loving, and did their best to make me feel like I had a place in the world. From a young age, they always told me to never give up, and choose happiness in the worst situations. My siblings and I took that to heart, which our family believes is a big reason we are so happy together.

I always used the wisdom and cliches they gave me, but in a certain situation, it didn't work like it always did.

Nothing worked after I was taken.
