(Synn)<br/><br/>Justine's stark blue eyes fluttered open and her fingertips traced across the smooth dark silk sheets. She lifted her head slightly and attempted to adjust her blurry sight. There was a small deep blue candle lit in the corner, giving the room an eerie glow as shadows danced across the walls teasingly. She was in bed, an enormous four poster bed with sheer dark curtains that were slightly drawn shut. She ran her hands over her bare arms until she gripped onto what felt like cloth. She had clothing on. She peered down as she pulled the covers from her body. It was a small flowing dress of sorts, nothing particular about it, just simple.<br/><br/>The room was frigid. Goosebumps washed over her as she felt a draft from the vaulted ceilings, unsure of where the breeze was emanating from. She rubbed her temples as she now had a splitting headache and her mouth was dry. She noted that she was certainly not back in her own bed or her own house. Still a dream or had she been abducted? And if so, by whom? Or, what?<br/><br/>She checked the room for foul creatures with probing eyes and stank breath, slimy scales, and snarling voices. To her relief, nothing was in there with her.<br/><br/>She slid out of the bed and placed her bare feet on the floor. She smoothed the dress down until her fingertips reached the hem just above her thighs. It was still cold. She reached over and yanked one of the blankets off of the bed with a few tugs and wrapped it around her. She noticed a rather large window and walked over to it, placing her hand on the glass. The smooth surface felt like ice. She immediately removed her hand and just gazed up at the full moon shining over a very dark and seemingly gray landscape. There was no color, just various shades of black and gray, though perhaps a hint of midnight blue if you looked just right. She rested her head on the glass as the cold felt good against her aching head. She let out a sigh as she drew the blanket tighter around her body.<br/><br/>"Where am I?" she whispered.
