The guard leading Natalia stopped in front of the room of whispers.
"We're here ma'am," he said.
"Thank you for bringing me," she replied sincerely.
"You don't have more than an hour. I'll be back to pick you up when your time is up," he said, before turning around and walking away.
Natalia did a little breathing exercise. In, out, she breathed and then propped a smile on her face.
She pushed the door open, walking into the room in hasty excitement.
"I'm here Val!" She dashed straight for the bed. "I can't believe you're already sleeping by this time," she laughed as she held the covers and tried to drag it out of her body.
Sonia tried to stop her, but before she could, the covers slipped.
A scream rippled out of Natalia's throat when her eyes fell on a body that did not resemble Valentina's.
In turn and in shock, Sonia also let out a piercing scream.
Their screams synchronised, and at its peak, slowly, began to reduce into nothing but an echo.
