Alice huddled in the corner of an abandoned warehouse, her eyelids heavy with exhaustion as she tucked up her knees to her chest resting her chin on them. Her greatly worn sweater providing little protection from the cold that cut through to her bones. From the corner of her eyes she saw flicker of movement that made her flinch and move further into the corner if that were even possible, her breath making white clouds in the air in front of her. Gold eyes searching rapidly for the source of movement they rested on a bedraggled rat scuttling across the floor boards. Alice sighed in relief, moving the scarf up to cover her red nose. *Where am I again?* she thought as she hid her hands up into her over-sized sweater.
Looking up she saw the crisp night sky out of a small window located high above. A light snow floated lightly in the sky showing that the previous blizzard had finally dissipated. Narrowing her eyes in concentration she pried through her mind, trying to remember if she saw any signs hinted as to her current location, finding nothing Alice gave up on that venture. *The important part is that I should be far enough away from the others.*
