Bella’s Goal

Bella slowly opened her eyes, and as expected, her sister-in-law Jayra and her brother Bartos were inside the tent.

"How are you feeling?" Jayra asked, offering a glass of water. Bella took it and quickly drank the entire glass.

Setting the glass down, she moved to sit at the edge of the bed, facing Jayra and Bartos.

"I want to hear the truth. The entire truth, so don't bother hiding a single detail from me," she demanded with a stern look.

"Things are very complicated Bella. Helena's identity required confidentiality since it's what the guardians deemed was best for Helena. She suffered from permanent memory loss, so they wanted her to start a new life without worrying about her past."
