Vivian felt a bright and shining heat prickling her eyes and skin, causing her to slowly open her eyes.

The first thing she noticed was the sun's rays shining through a window and the clothes hanging on it.

Her brows knitted together.

The scenery didn't look familiar and the smell was different. On top of that, it was also a bit noisy but the voices were speaking in a different language and there wasn't the familiar sound of cars, trucks and motorcycles running.

Where am I...?

She tossed to the side to look around her surroundings.

"Ugh...!" she let out a soft groan due to her body feeling stiff and there was a sharp pain in her neck, shoulder, elbow, ribs and hips.

"What the fuck...?"

"Why is my bed so hard...?"

Upon seeing the rest of her surroundings, her eyes blinked a couple of times before it finally dawned on her.

"Oh... Right... I'm in a different world..."

She slowly got up and sat down.

Pop.

Pop.

She stretched and her body made popping sounds.

She then tried to reach out for her phone from the side. But after a few taps, she stopped.

Tch.

She clicked her tongue.

"Right... I'm in a different world..."

She stared at the clothes hanging by the window.

I really can't tell the time...

But judging from the position of the sun and its heat, I'm guessing it's still morning...

And plus, no one has come here to wake me up...

I only rented this room for the night, after all...

She got up and got dressed.

As Vivian climbed down the stairs, she noticed that the main hall was filled with people having breakfast.

She left nothing that she owned inside her room and had her hair tied into a ponytail.

She dropped by the counter.

"Hi, good morning. I'm here to drop this off," Vivian said and placed the hotel key on top of the counter.

Just like yesterday, the black woman was sitting behind the counter and wiping herself.

She turned to Vivian.

"Good morning, too, Copper."

"I also left the bucket and cloth in the room."

"No problem."

"By the way, can I pass by the kitchen to draw water from the well?"

"Sure."

"Thank you," Vivian said and smiled before leaving and heading to the back.

***

Splash!

Vivian splashed her face with cold well water.

She didn't use soap because she didn't have enough money and was saving it only for baths.

She looked around her surroundings.

Vivian was standing near the well and there were other people around, both men and women. Most of them were here to do their morning routine just like her, while a few were here to cook.
