*Chapter One*
The wind blew harshly across the Tokyo streets. Juliet glanced down at her watch and sighed gently, rushing down the dark sidewalk on the way to her apartment. She had always gotten a horrid feeling in that part of town. Her blonde hair flew behind her as she walked faster. She was panicking. She knew she was. But, keeping her eyes on the ground, she moved into her complex and into her room. She sighed gently once more and threw her bag onto the couch. She never knew that coming home would be a trial for her every night.
"Jesus Christ!" Juliet cried out as her cat, Boonza, jumped off of the counter and onto her shoulder. She laughed shakingly and patted the cat's head. The cat let out a loud yowl, jumped from her shoulder, and then into her room. Juliet just shook her head. Moving into her kitchen, she began to make herself something to eat. Jumping at the sound of her phone ringing, she dove for it, missed and hit the wall. She groaned and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" She whimpered in pain.
"Hello, Miss Stiles. I would like you to come down to STNJ for me. Please come in an hour."
Click! Juliet sighed as she heard the dial tone that she was so popular with this month. That was the fifteenth time that a man had called about some place called "STNJ". Glancing at Boonza and shrugging, she donned on her favorite hoodie and stepped out into the night. She made her way down the street and sighed once more, trying to figure out where this place was. A man tugged on her arm.
"Juliet Stiles?" The man regarded her with a guarded look and she nodded once, her eyes scanning the streets. Sighing, she took in the man's paranoid state then just shook her head.
Ugh. This is not going to be fun. She thought as she followed the man into the building. With a brief wave to the man in the front, Juliet started to follow the man towards an elevator. Slipping through the doors, she closed her eyes and waited to figure out what STNJ was. Then, the doors opened and she was welcomed with cold stares and astonished looks. She lowered her gaze from the others.
"AMON! What are you thinking!?" A younger man, sitting behind a computer in the back, yelled from his monitor. Juliet's head snapped up in anger, and she retaliated.
"EXCUSE ME! This is NOT by my choice." She bellowed, watching everyone wince as the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees. The man beside her, who she now knew as Amon, smiled briefly before looking back at the group. They all spoke in low tones until another woman stepped out from behind the man at the computer.
"Is this her? Is this Juliet?" the young girl kept her voice small and quiet. Juliet nodded softly before holding out her hand.
"Juliet Stiles. And…you are…?"
"Robin Sena." The girl took her hand and smiled gently, before giving it one shake and then let it go. Juliet dropped her hand and nodded, glad to find someone who was like her.
"So…Miss Juliet, how did you drop the temperature?"
"Michael! Can it." Amon said in a gentle tone to the one that asked the question. Juliet winced at the question, going into an explanation that she didn't really know how she did it. She's just done it for the longest time.
"It's really a new thing to my conscious mind, I guess. I mean, I've been able to do it since, like, forever but it's just now maturing in my mind." She winced again as she had to explain herself for what seemed like the millionth time today. Sighing, the younger woman closed her eyes and held her head. The temperature returned back to normal and everyone else relaxed.
"She's just what we're looking for…" Robin muttered, almost to herself that caused everyone to look at her. Juliet sighed again and opened her eyes. It was going to be a long day…
