NATALIA FELT like her head will explode. With every scene that she saw in front of her, the pain on her head grew stronger. When the box of memories in her mind was opened, a blinding pain engulfed her. The first blow of pain on her head was when she saw a young version of herself in front of two mummy coffins, in a crypt at what she recognized as the Vatican. Her eyes were closed and she looked like she was waiting to be punished. The feeling of familiarity made her shiver. It felt like it was only yesterday when that happened even though she looked like a ten-year-old child.
Natalia closed her eyes and crouched at the corner of the crypt, holding her head like it was about to burst open.
"You desired to know the truth but you are afraid to see it for yourself. Open your eyes, Natalia."
