under a paper moon (OPEN)

Darkness spilled through the curtain less window illuminating the desolate hallway in an almost white light. For a moment Juniper stopped and observed the outside biting her lip with anticipation as she watched the few tree’s blow wildly in the heavy snowy gale. This was what she’d snuck out for – there was nothing better than being alone with her thoughts watching the wind whistle through the Antarctic wasteland.


The distant sound of footsteps approached slowly, shit. Eyes widening she froze and turned to move away from her spot by the window. Closer they were getting closer and she was at a dead end – if this was a teacher she was screwed… Moving forward the young elf decided to risk it, her pace quickened into a run, she only had to make it down two more corridors then she’d be back in her dorm. Which would have been fine if she hadn’t immediately tripped over her own feet. Juniper squeaked as she braced herself for the painful clatter. Cursing under her breath as her side met the shiny marble floor. “For gods sake.” She pouted and picked herself up.
