Gone (Book two of the Greed series)

Gone 

Book 2 of the Greed Series (I highly suggest reading 'Stolen' before you read this) 

-prologue- 

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."- Ayn Rand

I might owe an explanation or two. 

The last time I knew for sure what would happen to me was never, and even now I feel as though my life is unpredictable. But, it's really just all been planned out for me. This is my life. My little sister, who, mind you, is probably not on speaking terms with me because I may or may not have broken up our parent's marraige, is in the same hotel as me, or so I hope. I haven't seen her in a while, but ironically I have just befriended her best friend's older brother, Noah, who seems to have an interest in me. Not that I mind it, Noah's great. Oh, but then throw in one more factor. 

Mark. Who undoubtedly is the guy I'm at this hotel with, who has a girlfriend already. 

So, I guess you probably think it's a normal situation that could happen to anyone, right? Wrong. Let's add a few things to what I said earlier: 

So I've been kidnapped for the second time, but it's been done by an ameteur so I'm not worried out the kidnapper. It's the man behind the curtain that's making me uneasy. I was originally kidnapped because I have some weird affiliation with a USB drive (Which I don't have) that this guy Callahan (The man behind the curtain) wants. Oh, and Mark's girlfriend is being held hostage by Callahan and Mark is my kidnapper. Did I mention that Noah's the holder of the device, but refuses to hand it over? Yeah, I think I'll kick his ass later. 

My name's Andromeda, but you can call me Anna because as of right now you haven't become an arch enemy of mine and I appreciate that. I've been stolen from my little sliver of normalcy, and whatever was left of my life before is gone. 

And now, I'm ready to take on anyone, pro-wrestlers, special agents, body guards, and even Callahan, to save who is special to me. 

I'm ready to take them on, even, for people who aren't special to me, and I'm ready to take on my mother, of all people. 

This may be the worst thing I've ever done as it comes to manipulation. Family is never left behind? Well, that's okay, because I'm not leaving anyone behind. Not this time. 

Wish me luck.
