Author's Note: Yes, I'm back for the most part. No, I'm not going to be as active as I was a few years ago. Yes this is Allie_Livvy from LJ and yes this is the story started there. It is complete and will be posted in its entirety. Please R&R just know that I feed flames to one of the animals. Constructive criticism is appreciated but one or two words are of no help what so ever. Happy Reading. xoxo

Prologue:

Beep... Beep... Beep…

The constant beeping broke through the haze in the young woman's brain bringing her out of her sleep and bringing full awareness to the aches of her body. Frowning slightly she slowly opened her eyes blinking rapidly against the bright lighting in the solid white room. She focused on the three people standing near the open door. They were speaking softly in a language she did not understand. Wearily she cleared her throat causing the conversation to come to an abrupt halt and three pairs of eyes shooting to her cautiously.

"Where am I? Who… who are you?" the young woman asked trying to cover herself more with the thin white blanket on the bed she laid upon. The three individuals spoke rapidly to one another before turning back to her. The older woman stepped forward slowly leaving the two men in white coats at the door. She held her hands out in a careful and open manner as she spoke slowly in a heavily accented voice, "I am Dr. Isabella DeMarzio. You are in the hospital; can you recall anything at all from the last time we spoke? Anything at all from before your waking?"

The young woman searched her brain trying to recall anything she could before hesitantly replying with a single word, "No."
