DISCLAIMER: i do not own NOES or any of it's characters. i only own Juliana, Heather, David, and any other characters you don't recognize

Juliana felt nervous the next day. When she got home, she didn't sleep because she was sure Freddy would kill her. "It doesn't matter that he needs me" she thought. "He might just be pissed enough that he'll kill me anyway" she groaned and rubbed her eyes. "Stay awake Juliana" she commanded herself. "Don't fall asleep. You can't, or you'll probably never wake up"

...

Juliana looked around. She was in the woods, and there was a beautiful lake nearby. Buck and the other horses weren't around like they usually were. "That's weird" she thought. "Buck?" she called. "Sport? Anyone?" she kept looking, but the horses were nowhere to be found. "Ok, weird. And why does this place seem familiar?" she knew she'd seen the place somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

"Juliana"

she froze. "Oh snap, no!"

Freddy laughed, standing a few yards away from her. "You look nervous Jules" he said slowly. Juliana took a step back. "You know I won't kill you, right?" he glared at her. "But I never said anything about hurting you. You're going to pay for what you did you little whore!"

Juliana shook her head, backing up slowly as Freddy advanced toward her. "Oh crap!" Juliana thought. She turned around and started running.

"You can run all you want Juliana, but you can't hide!"

Juliana kept running anyway, her heart pounding hard. She headed down to the dock by the lake. "Should I jump?" she thought, glancing behind her. Freddy was almost at her. "I hate the water, but I'll take the chance!" she turned and jumped off the dock, landing in the ice cold water. She struggled to stay above the surface, but it was hard since Juliana didn't swim much, and therefore couldn't swim very well. But suddenly she saw Freddy go flying through the air, landing in the lake a few feet from Juliana. Then someone reached down and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the water. Juliana coughed and spluttered, scrambling onto the shore. "Oh my god!" she panted, gasping for air. She looked up at the person who had rescued her, and her heart nearly stopped beating.

"Jason?"

...

Juliana shot to her feet, her eyes wide. "Jason Voorhees? Is that really you?"

Jason nodded.

Juliana smiled. She had had a dream about Jason several months earlier. A dream where she saw the kids at Camp Crystal Lake bully him and throw him into the lake. And Juliana had done what she'd always wanted to do. She had saved him. she'd run down to the end of the dock and leaned down, grabbing Jason's arm and somehow managing to pull him back up onto the dock. Afterwards she had woken up and everything was normal again. But that night Juliana dreamed of Jason again, and he had tried to kill her. But he realized that she was the girl who had helped him, the only person (besides his mother) that he knew cared about him. So the two formed an unlikely friendship.

A very unlikely friendship.

And now Jason had saved Juliana, saved her from drowning just as she had saved him all those months ago.

"Boy Jason, am I glad to see you!" Juliana said.

"Hey!"

Juliana jumped as Freddy crashed out of the water, looking as angry as she'd ever seen him. "Damn it you little bitch! You had to drag him into this?"

Juliana flushed. "Uh, I-I guess I did, but it was an accident! I must've brought him here by mistake!" Jason moved to stand between Freddy and Juliana.

"aww, isn't that sweet?" Freddy snarled.

"I don't need Jason to protect me. I know you won't kill me Freddy" Juliana said, moving to stand in front of him.

"Of course I won't kill you, I need you! But I never said I wouldn't hurt you" he raised his blades over his head and slashed Juliana's shoulder.

...

Juliana sat up screaming. She looked down to see that she had bloody slashes on her arm. The door to her room burst open and Ken and Cathy rushed into the room. "Juliana, what's the matter?" Cathy cried, her eyes widening at the sight of the slashes.

"Oh my god, what did you do Jules?" Ken asked.

"Me? I didn't do anything!" Juliana winced as Cathy grabbed her good arm and pulled her into the bathroom. "ow!" Juliana snapped as Cathy rubbed the scratches with antiseptic pads.

"Ken, call the ER"

Juliana shook her head. "No, that's really not necessary guys"

"oh yes it is" Cathy said sternly as Ken grabbed Julia's phone and started dialing.

Juliana shook her head again. "I don't want to go to the hospital, I'm fine!"

"I hate this place" Juliana grumbled as she sat on the edge of a hospital bed, her arms folded across her chest. Her parents were standing out in the hall talking to the doctors. Juliana sighed and pushed her fingers through her hair. Her thoughts wandered to the dream she'd had. "Jason showed up at just the right time" she thought. "I wonder why he showed up anyway? I mean, I don't remember thinking about him when I was dreaming" but then she had another thought. "Well I was obviously at Crystal Lake. Maybe that's why he was there" she sighed and shook her head. "Well the point is that I'm thankful he showed up when he did. Freddy might've killed me if Jason hadn't been there"

"Juliana!"

Juliana jumped and turned toward the door. "Heather? What are you doing here?"

Heather ran to Juliana and hugged her. "Your mom called my mom and she told me that you were in the ER. I got here as soon as I could!"

Juliana frowned. "I thought you hated me"

"Jules, I could never hate you. I wanted to make sure you were ok. And I wanted to apologize. I was a jerk before, and… and I hope you can forgive me"

Juliana frowned a little. Then she looked at Heather and a slow smile crossed her face. "Of course I can forgive you Heather. It might take a while for things to be like they were between us, but I think it can work"

Heather smiled.

Juliana smiled too. "I'm glad we're friends again" she thought as her parents came back into the room.

"Good news Jules. You can come home" Ken said.

"Yes!" Juliana cheered.

"And you'll need lots of rest this weekend honey" Cathy added.

"Yeah right, sleep is the last thing I want right now" Juliana thought. "But I know where I'm going on Monday".
