I'll make a way

A disbelieving laugh fell off Serena's lips. All her life, she had heard stupid stories, read books, and seen movies, but right now, it felt as if she was acting out one of them. Her eyes stayed glued to the pictures that were still spread out on the table while her head reeled from the things she had just heard.

"I don't know why I find all this funny. One day, I'm in Viera, living a quiet, peaceful dream life, having very few worries. The next day, I'm a woman from the 1700s, a target for elimination for a crime I did not commit and know nothing about." She let out a long sigh. "I guess running my whole life did not help me much."
