1. Chapter 1: Prologue

Authors Note: When I first read Erin T. Aardvark's Stranger in the Night, I was very impressed by it and I messaged him if he had a sequel to the story. He said he needed to find the inspiration on his own. So I asked if I could write the sequel and he obliged.

It's been 5 years since she saw them. As the blonde haired teenage girl looked up in the night sky, she began to think. "I couldn't have dreamed it, I couldn't have", she quietly said to herself. The girl then picked up the silver medallion, on the medallion was an engraved J. The girl smiled as she remembered all of those years ago whence got lost in the forest and ended up the most amazing creatures that she had the fortunate to come across. She even made friends with the one who tried to have her killed, but after saving her former foe's delved grandson, she made peace with him. That was when she was only 12 years old, now at the age of 17, she began to wonder if it was real or a dream. "It could't be a dream", she thought, "If it was, I wouldn't have this medallion". She looked over to her loyal sheepdogs and then to her younger brother and back to her dogs again. "I think it's time I should see If I wasn't dreaming", she said to herself.

Then the girl heard footsteps coming towards the bedroom door. Quickly, she hid the silver medallion underneath her pillow just before the door opened. Then coming into the room was a man around his late 40s to early 50s, wearing a Forest Rangers uniform, and heavy duty work boots. His brown hair was showing bits of gray and there were a few wrinkles in his face. "Is there something wrong dad?", she asked. The man smiled. "Oh nothing Julie", he said, "I'm just checking on you and Tommy". "We're okay, dad". The man smiled again. "Okay then, goodnight". "Night dad". The middle aged man then left the bedroom. The girl then secretly took the medallion again and looked up at the sky through her bedroom window. "Yes, I think I shall look into it. I'll do it tomorrow, but I must be careful". Before she went back to bed, she quietly said. "I'm coming back guys".

With that, Julie went back to sleep with her decision in mind. Little did she know, she was in for an adventure.
