Harry's POV
Liam told me to go check out the corner that Julia pointed to so I went and checked it out. I sniffed the air around the corner but It didn't smell any different to me I was about to turn and go back to the group when I noticed something on the carpet. I bent down to get a look at it. It was a grey thread stuck on a nail by the window. It looked like the color of the maids uniforms.
I went back to the group and the boys looked at me with expectant eyes wanting to know if I found anything. I looked at Julia who was still clinging to Louis like her life depended on it. Only difference was she now had her thumb in her mouth and her blanket wrapped around her. She looked like she was half asleep but still scared out of her wits. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a voice. "Did you find anything Harry." Liam asked me. "Nothing of importance but I want to talk to you guys later." Was my response.
We all turned our attention back to Julia and she yawned really big. It made her look like an adorable little kitten. "Why don't you go to sleep Princess you look really tired." Niall told her. "No m'not tired can't sleep." She tried to argue with him but her argument ultimately failed when her eyes drooped and she let out another yawn. "It's ok Juli you can go to sleep we'll all stay by your side while you sleep and be there when you wake up in the morning." I told her. "We can even keep the lamp on if that would make you feel better." She nodded in agreement. We started standing up and she turned toward Liam and put her arms out to him, like a little child wanting to be picked up.
Liam picked her up and carried her upstairs to her room. I pulled back the covers and he laid her down and tucked her in. She was already in her PJ's that consisted of grey sweatpants and a blue t-shirt of some kind so she didn't need to change for bed. She refused to let go of Liam so he laid down next to her with Louis on the other side just in case she had a nightmare. Zayn laid down on the couch and fell asleep, Niall sat in the armchair by the bed and I sat on the end of the bed.
"What did you want to talk to us about Harry" Liam asked. "I went and checked out the corner Julia said she saw eyes in and I didn't smell anything, but I did find a grey string caught on a sliver of wood in the window sill. It looked to be from one of the maids uniforms but I don't think it was the same material I think tomorrow we should look at the security cameras in that room to double check." They thought about what I said and agreed with me tomorrow while I'm making breakfast with Juli the other four are going to check the security cameras. Liam stayed up reading for a while and the rest of us fell asleep.
Louis' POV
I was jolted awake and it took me a second to figure out what had woken me up. I sat up trying to figure it out when I got hit in the side by an arm. I turned to the side and saw Julia tossing and turning. I pulled her into my arms and started gently rocking back and forth while whispering calming words in her ears trying to wake her up. I kicked Liam to get him to wake up. He shot up in bed and when he realised what was going on he woke the others up so they could help calm her down. She calmed down slightly and the rocking woke her up. "Wha what's going on?" She said with a yawn. "You were having a nightmare and we thought you might feel better if you shared what it was." I said. She got a sad look on her face and looked down.
"It was more of a memory turned nightmare than just a plain nightmare. It was the memory of When my Aunt and her family died. I was actually there when they died but I didn't see it happen because they had hid me in the closet in this little room below the floorboards. They put me there so that the vampires wouldn't find me. Before they left they told and I quote 'Stay here until your mom comes for you but always Remember listen to them and they won't hurt you but don't lose faith in freedom.' I stayed in the room until my mom came too get me I heard so many screams I had nightmares for months. In the dream though instead of being locked in that little room I was in the same room as it happened. I-i was watching and I couldn't look away. I physically couldn't look away and it made feel sick. Their was so much bl-blood and the screams were deafening it was all I could hear. The bodies were dismembered and scattered all around the family room. The men started coming toward me, but then I suddenly felt really calm and I heard a voice telling me that it was okay and that it was all fake. Then the dream changed to my fifth birthday with my parents and Jesy it was the last one we were together it's one of my happiest memories. Then I woke up." She then turned and kissed Louis on the cheek. "Thank you for calming me down in the nightmare Louis."
She cuddled further into my side probably still remembering the dream because she was still shaking slightly and had a few tears left unshed in her eyes. I can't believe that she has to relive her past in her eyes only worse because she doesn't know what actually happened because if it was our men they cleaned it up immediately afterwards. I grabbed her wool blanket and pulled it over her, handed her her teddy bear and pulled the duvet over her to keep her warm. I heard Zayn asking one of the maids to bring up six hot chocolates, five with blood mixed in and one with honey to soothe her.
All five of us sat on the bed trying to soothe Julia so she would go back asleep. After a couple minutes the maid arrived with the chocolate. I handed Julia hers and she drank half of the mug in one gulp. We took time to drink the cocoa by the time we finished our mugs Julia was done and her eyes were drooping again. She was still shivering but she was perfectly calm. "Julia are you cold." I asked her. A nod was her only response.
Niall pulled off the sweatshirt he was wearing and gave it to her. Zayn also went and got a blanket from both his and Harry's rooms. She put on Niall's sweatshirt and I covered her up with the two blankets Zayn handed to me. As she warmed up she stopped shivering and fell asleep Liam and I laid back down with her and Niall laid across the foot of the bed. Zayn went back to the couch and Harry fell asleep in the recliner that was in the room. Hopefully tomorrow will be better than today.
