Madison Romano…

She lived in Sicily, Italy, with her father, Lucca, her mother Mariana, and her older sister, Marie. One day Lucca and Mariana got into an argument and Mariana grabbed seven year old Marie and fled.

It was the best soup Lucca had ever tasted, but Lucca couldn’t tell if it was the soup was good or if he was just telling himself that because a very nice and attractive lady served him the food.

She felt like she was going to pass out from seeing so much blood, but she did not faint, she ran. She ducked between his legs and ran for the exit. He almost caught her, but she ran as hard and as rapid as she could and it paid off. She wanted to just turn back and go to the man who had been so kind to her, but she had learned not to run away from her problems from her mother. As soon as her mother left with Maire, Mariana regretted it. She wanted to be back in her husband’s arms, cuddling their children, but they were kidnapped as soon as they decided to turn back. After that, Mariana taught Marie never to run away from her problems and Marie had always done that ever since her mother preached to her to not run away. Marie, now remembering her mother very well, ran and ran, hoping to find her. When they first got kidnapped, they decided that wherever they got dropped off, their meeting place would be the beach, if the city had a beach.
