Chapter 544 Trapped

"I can't! I am tired already."

Anna screamed, waking up from a nightmare.

She had a terrible dream about falling into the water, separated from her sister and being engulfed by the waves.

Thankfully, it was all just a dream.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, because the surface beneath her wasn't her soft bed at home.

At less than six years old, she understood some things, but not much.

She was clueless about what had just happened. She sneezed again and rose slowly from the floor.

Her height was just enough to reach the doorknob. She turned it, pushed the door open, and found a long corridor outside.

The corridor led to several rooms. Anna had just arrived and was unaware of what was happening.

The place was gloomy. It made her feel uneasy. Unlike the beautiful and delicate rooms at home, the walls were roughly plastered with cement. Even the wall lamps were ghastly white.
