[Julia is new in Beacon Falls. She moves there and is very close to her cousin Allison. She goes to her Aunt Kates funeral...I wonder what will happen]

Chapter 1: The Funeral

Who would've guessed that Auntie Kate would've ended similarly to this… Oh wait, I did. She was so obsessed with that hunting crap. I mean, I know Uncle Chris and Aunt Victoria were into it, but not as psychotically as Kate. I'm not saying that I'd wish she'd die… even though I felt like I did at some points, but what she did came back at her. She payed the price for what she did. I don't care if there were 11 werewolves in that house, that was cruel. She used Derek and they all didn't deserve to die in a burning inferno.

Either way, I had to goto the funeral. Although I couldn't stand Kate the majority of the time she was around, she was still my Aunt and I had to be respectful. I'd much rather be in my room unpacking my things. We only got here 2 days ago, I'm almost done though. I just need to unpack clothes. My cousin Allison is supposed to come over and help me….. "..So make sure you get that done by the end of the week."

I turn towards my mom puzzled."What?" and with her almost angry tone, she answers, "Do you listen to a word I say anymore? I told you, you need to get all of your school things ready by the end of the week. You start school next Monday. Allison is going to show you around and make you some friends. Did you get all of that the second time around Julia?"

"Yes. I got it, no need to go all angry Queen bitch on me." I said with a smile.

She laughs and says "Good, i'm glad I finally got something through your head."

As the day gets gloomier and gloomier by the minute, I might as well get some enjoyment out of this dreary place, before it goes completely dark.

Looking throughout the grave stones makes me think of my cameras… Those lovely little things capturing a moment forever. I alway keep at least one camera on my person at all times. After all you never know if you'll get a good photo opportunity. All I can think about is a gray wash sort of effect I could do with a picture of that statue… wait, what is that? All I can see is part of a plaid shirt and a black jacket sticking out behind it. Who's over there? But before I get a chance to sneak another glance, they're gone.

"Hello Julia, wow it's been a long time since i've seen you! I'm not sure if you remember me, but i'm your grandfather Gerard. You can call me either, but I prefer grandpa." He says with a smug grin.

I can never tell if he ever means a word he says. But as I start to think about him being all happy go lucky, I can't help but see a glimpse of a face in the distance…. It's that same plaid shirt! I can only make out minor details in the boy's face. Short dark hair, tall, and he looks very fond of hand gestures while speaking. I wish I could get a better visual… My camera! Ha, I knew always having one with me would pay off. While my parents are talking to Gerard, I take out the tiny black camera out of my bag. I flip the 'on' switch and it lights up. A quick zoom an *click*, I can now see what those mysterious people who were hiding behind a gravestone, creeping on a funeral, look like.

"Julia, put the camera away, I feel like you're turning into one of them."

she says, pointing to the annoying journalists and paparazzi taking pictures of our family while we walk to our cars. I quickly put the camera in my bag after I snap a couple more shots of the guys running into the woods.

Before we get to our car, some guy gets pushed past the security and into me.. and of course, all of the things in my bag go flying. An absolutely perfect continuation of a perfect day.

"I'm so sorry let me help you." he says, but before he attempts, to help I pick up the contents of my bag and quickly inspect my camera.

"You should be thankful I had a case on my camera, or we would've had a problem."

before he can respond, I jump into the car and we drive off… But I can feel that i'm going to see him again soon, and I know I won't be liking it.

Sitting in the backseat has its privileges. I get a little more privacy to check text messages, social sites and the thought occurs to me to more thoroughly inspect the camera, and also observe those pictures better.

It hits me almost like a pile of bricks. That guy in the black jacket is Allison's "Ex" boyfriend Scott. But of course I can't see plaid shirts face because its blocked by branches.

"You just had to walk in-between the trees didn't you." I mumble almost too loud and I catch myself.

Just as I turn off the camera a light pops up and I have a text. Its Allison, she says 'Hey Jules, I'm sorry but I can't make it over to your house to help you out. I'm going to come over tomorrow and we can make unpacking fun. haha I'll talk to you soon. Love you Cuz' - 3 Allison' Before I have time to respond she sends me another message. 'Oh! I have an idea for after we finish unpacking, since there isn't much left to do anyway. i'll try to text you later with the deets! Love ya! - Allison'

I respond with 'Okay sounds good! I'll see you tomorrow. love ya too cuz - Jules'

As we pull up to the house, I grab my things and sprint for the door. Its still unlocked because we were in a hurry to get out the door before we left. I immediately go up stairs, close my door, and take of my shoes… I'm tired and bored, so I get up. I grab my towel and my iPhone, and head for the shower.

When I get out of the shower I see a message from Allison. 'i'm super sorry now. I can't hangout all week. Dad's got some more training he wants to do, so i'm gonna be crunched for time the next few days. I'll see you soon enough though. Don't worry I'll be there to pick you up and bring you to school on your first day. Talk to you soon! - Allison'

Uncle Chris is a real hard ass these days, but oh well I respond with 'okay no prob, I'm super tired now lol i'm gonna go sleep. see you soon. - Jules'

I fall onto my bed. i don't have much to do. Hang the clothes and put them in the drawers. I'll do that tomorrow. Right now I just need to sleep. To much has happened in one day and I have a headache.

I wake up at 2am, with a weird feeling. A feeling that someones watching me, but I know that its just Luna my kitten. I had gotten her as a 'sorry for forcing you to change schools' gift. I dreamt about the man in the plaid shirt, and of what I think his face would look like.

But all I know is that, him and Scott were hiding behind a headstone at a funeral spying around, and then running in the woods… and I certainly would like to know why.
