Chapter 10: Life as a Palace Maid
**Back to the Present**
“Let me out of here! Please! Open the door!” I screamed loudly as I banged on the closed door with both of my fists.
If no one is out there, then I’m going to scream until someone turns up. I need to find out where I am and why I was brought here. They can’t just keep me locked up in here, right?
I was scared and to get over that fear, all I could think of was yelling and banging on the door. If I didn’t do this, maybe I would have an emotional breakdown.
“Why are you shouting in the middle of the night? Shut up and go to sleep. You’re annoying all of us!” a woman yelled back at me.
There’s someone out there on the other side of this door. I felt more relieved more than anything that I wasn’t the only one here in this place. According to what the woman just said, there should be many people here.
“Please let me out. Can you please unlock the door?” I said loudly to make sure that she could hear me through the closed door.
“Don’t you think you’re the louder one, Claudia?” another woman said teasingly.
“Hush everyone, Madame Cassandra is here...” another woman voice said with warning.
