The problem is that the box can only be are opening by someone who has the same sign.” Queenie was silent as she looked at Argo. Maybe the red box was hers. But, as Queenie memories, the box wasn’t big enough to hold a distiller. After all, she had already checked the inside of the box. There was only a piece of the book that was written. Another page was just blank pages.

"Why is the case so close to you?" "The girls ..." he muttered, clenching his fists so that his nails dug into his flesh. "Do you still remember Maria?" His friend nodded wordlessly. Maria was a fluke and the beginning of Joshua's investigation. 10 months earlier Joshua was tired.

Actually Josh hadn't planned to stay there that long, but the time had somehow passed and now he was wandering around the edge of the harbor in the middle of the night looking for the stupid cat from his friend's neighbor. Apparently she ran away because of the loud music and the old lad

But sitting amidst all those memories of him, at that one moment, I knew I had to be strong for myself; I had to hold fast to these moments; relish them, and keep them alive in my heart. Though Jethro did not remember me, I knew our love was real. And that I would carry it with me always.

I would keep them safe, as though they were my little chest of treasures in an expanse of love and laughter.

“Then how did this get here?” The First Soul looked at Elias. “She left it before we came.” Elias stepped closer. “What is it?” “I don't know.” The First Soul looked at Emily. “But I know what it contains.” Emily waited. The First Soul's expression became serious. “A memory.” Emily stared at the box. “Whose?” “Yours.” Emily felt a chill. “I thought I remembered everything.” “You remembered enough to become free.” The First Soul looked at the box. “But you don't remember why you were chosen.”

She said, and Ella chuckled as she stared at her. “You seem to underestimate me a lot. Doesn’t it cross your mind that a woman who willingly erased the memory of the man she loved is capable of every other thing?” Kathryn chuckled as she stared at her. “Don’t worry about that, Ella.

I had just set the box back into the cabinet when my phone vibrated on the nightstand. The screen lit up with a name I hadn’t expected to see tonight: Gabriel Thorne.

She had forgotten that she had this. She picked it up carefully, as if it would explode if handled roughly. Her breathing picked up and she set the box on her side. She didn't know why she kept it, it was a horrible memory, but it could never be forgotten. She slowly lifted the lid and gulped when she looked inside. "Stop it," she said to herself and slammed the lid on the box. "Forget it, Brooklyn!" She grabbed the box and shoved it under her bed. "Out of sight out of mind," she whispered and turned her attention to the rest of her belongings.

Hunter asked though he knows "Go to your room and search your bed. If you find this kind of box there, bring it here." Dominic said without turning around "What is it Dom?"

Reaching his room he searched his bed and found a similar box but in different colour and something else as well. Seeing that many memories flashed in front of his eyes. Those memories stirred something inside him. But he shrugged off those.
