Jade hummed to herself as she strode gracefully down the hall. She was excited for the wedding, although the thoughts of having to change herself completely to meet than standards of her soon-to-be father was a little too much.
There was no other way to get around it, but she was willing to make changes to be with Manfred.
"Even if I have to be indifferent to the students here..." she said to herself. "And become more blunt about things, even if it hurts people's feelings...maybe I could stay silent more often...but that's no fun." She sighed and stopped, glancing out the window of the corridor.
The light blue sky looked out of place with the gray dismal building. Although the bare brown boughs of the dead trees and the blankness of the white snow fit right in.
Snow fits in with almost everything Jade thought to herself, smiling.
She gasped as a strong hand covered her mouth and pulled her towards the person behind her. Her limbs were quickly bounded together so she couldn't move. She was gagged and blindfolded with strips of cloth. Darkness surrounded her, her heart beated with growing fear, and she was hauled away to a place unknown.
