Italics = Noise Arial = Julianna's thoughts
I screamed and awoke. Sweat was coming down my face. A woman was inside my room, she was dressed in black, and her head was hanged. Then she looked up. She opened her mouth and started to shriek. I pushed myself back in fright and hit my head. She started to whimper and her eyes darted to me, "The dead will come in a fortnight, you will die and wish you stayed!" her mumbled words came towards me as if they were bullets.
I awoke, it was a dream but it looked and felt real. I was still sweating. My head hurt. I turned and opened my drawer and picked out my notebook with a pen, I wrote my dream and kept the book with me.
Knock, Knock.
"Come in!" my voice was dry. As they came in I pulled my covers over my face, it was my dad.
"Get up. You have work to do! Get up! Now!" he started shouting and screaming at me. I put my hand out of the cover and swore at him. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out; he was holding me off the floor. "Don't get mouthy with me. You're doing all the work or ill hit you!" With his unoccupied hand he straightened it and…
I was on the floor with tears coming out of my eyes, shaking.
Knock, knock.
Someone was knocking on the front door. "Hello sir. Is Julianna in?" it was a smooth, soft voice. I don't anyone with that voice.
"No. She isn't. Why?" he snarled. I smiled and stood up. My head was still dizzy; it took a few seconds for me to get to my door. They were still talking. I reached the staircase and looked down. It was two men and a woman. I started to cough and stumbled down a couple of stairs. They all looked at me, their topaz eyes were so bright. The woman gave me a short and distinctive smile.
"Hi dad. Who are these people? Are they your friends?" I smirked. His hand twitched and I flinched. One of the men, tall, unbelievably handsome with bronze hair saw his hand twitch and became tense. My dad turned back to the men and woman.
"Come in. Oh, please come in." for once in my entire life, he was being polite.
He's only doing this until they disappear, then I'll be beaten up again. Hopefully they don't leave. I stumbled down the last few stairs and fell on the last. The other man with blonde hair, smooth face, topaz eyes helped me up while my dad walked down the hall. When I got up my dad started to call me, I showed them where to go and followed my dad into the kitchen, next door to where they were.
"Who are they? Tell me now." His foot started tapping like the beat of a drum. I shrugged and he walked in the living room.
Gimp. How would I know? I hang around with people my age not 17 or 20 year olds. Better go in.
They left. "Julianna, come here! Now!" I ran and hid in my bathroom, door locked.
Knock, bang, knock, bang.
I started to run a bath but when I turned, someone was in here with me. It was the woman, pixie looking, short spiky hair and unique. She giggled at me, I was gawping.
"Hello Julianna, I'm Alice. I came earlier today but I couldn't talk to you, privately." She looked at the door and listened for more banging. Nothing came, he was eavesdropping. She shook her head and started saying tut tut. She stood up and hit the door, it came off its hinges and my dad was knocked out. She stared at me and walked off. I followed until I got outside my house, she had disappeared. I span around looking for her.
She left me. What do I do?
Someone tapped me on the shoulder, I looked round. It was Alice and she pushed me. I fell forward but someone had catched me. I couldn't see anything, my eyesight went blurry. All I could feel was the wind whipping across my face. I tried to move my mouth, I couldn't it was stiffer than a grandpa. We slowed after about half an hour.
"Are you okay?" it was Alice, her voice soprano. I tried to get myself down, but I didn't know where I was and who was carrying me. I shrugged and felt a cold hand helping me down. "That was close, so glad we got out in time." She gave her unique, pixie smile. I started to walk, after two maybe three steps I decked over.
"Who are you lot?" I was laying on the floor. We was in some kind of woods, I stared up at the sky between the leaves. "I know Alice, but who the hell are you two?" They looked at each other and smiled.
Suddenly Edward scooped me up and put me on his back, I held tight. We were running again, through the woods. I started to begin to think about my dream but after I thought about the woman, he stopped and dropped me. They all stopped.
"What? Why have we stopped?" I looked around, Edward was staring at me while Alice and Carlisle looked at him.
"The Banshee visited you? Did she say a date?" his voice was firm and velvet like.
"Umm… yeah. How do you? Did you read my mind?" I tilted my head. He nodded. Alice fell on her knees, her eyes blank. Carlisle and Edward ran towards her and kept asking "What do you see?". I walked towards her and gave her my notepad and pen. I don't know why, it just felt like I should do it. She grabbed it and started to draw. I pointed to the corner, "There's a table there." Carlisle looked at me.
"Do you know this house?" his eyes were so bright. "No, I don't. I've seen it in one or two of my dreams." I half smiled....
