Thanks for continuing to read, I hope you will take the time to review as it encourages me to keep posting!!

I stopped screaming abruptly as a heavyset woman burst into the room. She hurried over to me, flapping her hands and shushing me with a slightly over the top sympathetic look on her face.

I had forgotten what my dream was about but I know that it must have been awful for me to wake up screaming like that. Suddenly it came crashing down on me that I was still in the unknown place, not even aware of who I was.

The heavyset woman made it over to me, she was cooing words like "You're safe dear" and "There there" she had a comforting voice. I felt exhausted and vulnerable and this woman seemed nice, I needed human contact desperately so I inclined myself towards the woman. She noticed the movement immediately and her expression seemed to gain several levels in sympathetic intensity. She wrapped her arms around the top half of my body and pulled me into an embrace whilst gently rocking me to and fro.

It took me a millisecond to realise that I didn't like it. For a start I had been expecting the embrace to be hard and cold, Just the way I liked it, just the way it should be I thought to myself only I couldn't think why. Then there was the way this woman smelled, it was like food and it made my mouth water. I was suddenly incredibly aware of her heartbeat and the way it was pumping the blood through her body, I wondered how it might taste and was struck with an image of placing my teeth at her throat and feeling the warm liquid flow down my scorching and parched throat. "So thirsty" I croaked as I gently pulled myself away from the woman's embrace and pulsing temptation. I felt disgusted by myself, wondering momentarily at the possibility that I was some sort of monster. No, you're just really fucking thirsty, you're mind is playing tricks, I thought.

"Ok sweetie, let me pour you some water" she cooed before she turned around and started busying herself with a jug and faucet in the corner of the room.

I was desperate to begin bombarding this woman with questions but the burning in my throat was almost unbearable and her pulse seemed so loud in my ears. The woman turned and bustle towards me with a plastic beaker sloshing with water in one hand and a full jug in the other, why is she walking so damn slowly?.

She offered the beaker to me and I darted my hand out to take it, eager to quench my parched throat.

Her eyes widened a little and I heard her gasp ever so slightly before regaining her mask of sympathy. Ignoring her little slip I downed the water in a matter of seconds before ignoring all etiquette and drinking straight from the jug. The woman didn't seem bothered by my glass bypassing.

After my last swallow I noticed that although my throat felt lubricated, there was still a nagging burn there. I chose to ignore it for now in favour of getting some answers.

"Where am I?" I asked, suddenly surprised by the melodic sound of my voice, the woman seemed just as surprised by my voice as I was and it took her a fraction of a second longer than it should have to answer me.

"I think that question is best answered by Mr Crane, I'll call him in just a moment dear and let him know you're awake. Don't worry though, you're perfectly safe here. You're lucky even" She mused "This is the best place for a special girl like you" She gave me a conspiratorial wink and shuffled out the door.

My brow furrowed at her comment, what the hell did she mean by that? I wondered. Before I could ponder further I realised I could still hear her heavy footsteps moving away from the door. I heard her pick up something, press buttons and then say "It's Mina, tell him she's awake." I inclined my head further toward the door, straining my ears to hear more and to my surprise I picked up the tinny voice on the other end of the line "Very good Mina, I'll inform him right away. How is she?" "She woke up very distressed, I was worried at first but she calmed right down. I don't think she remembers much so she'll have alot of questions" "Don't worry about that Mina, Mr Crane will give her all the answers she needs to hear" The tinny woman sounded like she had a smile in her voice, as though she was sharing some sort of private joke with Mina. There was a clicking sound and heavy footsteps indicated that Mina was on her way back to my bedside.

I pulled the sheet up from either side of me to allow more movement in my lower half and lifted the covers to inspect what I was wearing. Something in the back of my head seemed to be warning me that I might need to run and I really didn't want to be doing that naked. To my relief I was wearing grey shorts with an elasticised waistband and a matching grey tank top. The fabric seemed very thin and flimsy, almost paper like.

I wiggled my toes and decided to meet Mina standing this time so I slid out from the covers and placed my feet onto the cold hard floor beneath me. When I was sure I would be able to support my own weight I flowed to a standing position and stretched my entire body, feeling joints pop and click.

Mina re-entered the room and did a double take when she saw me standing, a look of panic flashed on her features momentarily but she instantly righted herself and gave me her best impression of a dazzling smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Mr Crane will be here in just a minute, would you like some more water while you wait?" The burning was still nagging in my throat but I'd already learned that water wouldn't help "No, thank you" I replied sweetly before giving her a smile of my own which seemed to illicit an interesting reaction. Mina's jaw dropped a little and I heard her hear t rate increase, then her eyes locked onto my mouth and she edged back ever so slightly, her body having stiffened, before her face regained it's composure.

The smile slipped from my face as my attention was caught by footsteps on the hard floor drawing closer from outside the room. The shoes had hard soles, not like Mina's squeaky rubber ones and the walk was steady.

I knew it was a man approaching, although I couldn't pinpoint why. He was also whistling, it was a jaunty tune that sounded like he was making it up as he whistled it. The sound was pleasant and made me want to see the lips that were generating it. I felt my heart rate increase slightly but it wasn't from fear.

As he stepped through the door my breath caught in my chest a little. He was tall with sandy blonde hair, a smooth 30 something face with perfect white teeth and striking green eyes. I also noticed that he must have a well-defined body beneath his perfectly tailored suit. He flashed me a perfect smile that reached all the way to his eyes before saying "Well hello there Vanessa, My name is Mr Crane". He spoke in tones that immediately made me feel at ease and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I could trust this man. He reminded me of someone I couldn't remember, but the C in his name seemed to stir something.

Suddenly I realised the key point in that opening sentence, He'd told me my name! I smiled a little, knowing that my gut instinct was right, this man was already much nicer and much more helpful than Mina.

Mr Crane moved forward with an outstretched hand, disturbing the air around him. It was then that I caught his scent and my nose wrinkled a little. It was so sickly sweet, it was like breathing syrup. I became slightly confused by the mixed signals my brain and body seemed to be giving me, my nose was telling me that something was off about Mr Crane but my eyes and mind were telling me to ignore that, didn't he look trustworthy? And he seemed so genuinely pleased to see me up and awake, I bet he'd been worrying about me, that his forehead had creased as he wondered whether I would even wake at all.

I moved forward and took his hand in one of mine, it was slightly clammy but I didn't mind. He laughed throatily and said "My, my Vanessa, that's a very firm handshake you have there." I smiled and let go, unsure as to whether he was paying me a complement or I had actually been crushing his digits. I flinched inwardly at the thought of causing him pain.

I realised that at least two minutes had gone by and I had not said one word, so I took a deep breath, swallowed and then like a fool, managed to word vomit all over Mr Crane

"Where am I?, What is this place? How did I get here? I can't remember anything" The words all tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop myself and I clamped my jaw shut to prevent throwing more questions at him.

Mr Crane didn't seem at all perturbed by my questioning and merely smiled before answering "I can certainly understand you have a lot of questions Vanessa so I'll give you all the answers I know"

I felt relief wash over me and he took a breath before he continued "You are in a facility called The Hub, it provides a base of operations for my organisation which provides opportunities as well as a safe haven for very special individuals such as yourself. You are perfectly safe here as it is one of the most well protected places in the world, you're very lucky we found you. Which leads me to your next question. You appeared from nowhere, above the base. It may sound unbelievable Vanessa but you literally fell from Heaven! When we found you we expected to find a broken mess but you survived the fall without a scratch on you, it was like you were a sleeping angel"

He was looking at me in wonder now but I was unable to speak, simply processing the information he was giving me. "It's obvious now that whatever brought you here damaged you in ways we couldn't see" He said as he tapped his temple, obviously referring to my amnesia. "Anyway" He continued brightly "It seems that fate has brought you to me and I am not a man to ignore a calling when I see one, so perhaps you will allow me to house you here and we can work on getting your memory back. In the meantime I think that my…team would be very interested to meet you. If you so wish it Vanessa, I believe you will fit in very well here."

He looked at me expectantly now, as though he wanted me to speak.

"If I just fell from the sky, how do you know my name?" I asked.

He smiled knowingly, pulling a shiny plastic card from his pocket and showing it to me, it had a grainy photo of a girl with a very pale face framed by silky looking bronze ringlets, her eyes were chocolate brown. The name on the card was 'Vanessa Wolfe'. He was showing me my own driver's licence, I reached out a hand to take it and he released it into my grasp. "It says it's a driver's licence but I've never seen one like it," He said in a voice that hinted at confusion "I have had people run search after search but they cannot seem to find a place on the planet called Washington"

Well shit I thought before a girl's voice popped into my head saying "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more"
