"No." Bodil sits up in her bed with an agonising pain in the chest. "Father." She calls as tears race down her cheeks. She tries to take deep breaths because air doesn't seem to reach her lungs.
It takes her a few minutes to calm her breathing. Then, she gets out of bed and heads to her closet. She quickly changes her clothes and heads for the door, but when she tries to open it, she finds it locked.
'Why is the door locked? Has it been locked every night I have been here?'
Bodil never tried to leave her room at night since she got to Skagen. But she needs to go now. She tries to shake the door a bit, but that does not do anything.
"Open this door." She screams as she pounds on the big wooden doors.
'If I have to wake everyone in this place up, so be it.'
"Somebody." She calls again while whipping her tears. "I need to leave, open the door." It only takes a few minutes before someone reaches her room. She hears hushed voices outside of her doors, but nobody unlocks them.
