For a moment, Juliette listened to the dial tone. Then, she hung up. With an annoyed sigh she headed out for the shed.
"Hey, look. Jules is back," Ezra noted. Jess looked up momentarily from the wood she was chopping.
"She looks miffed," she noticed.
"Give me that," the older girl snapped, taking the axe. David quickly yanked Jess out of the way as Juliette took a swing.
"Dang, she's dangerous when she's mad," David stated.
"Scary too," Ezra agreed. Everyone stopped to watch as she continued to chop pieces of wood.
"What do you suppose brought this on?" Scott wondered as Juliette loaded up another piece of wood.
"Mommy dearest. Who else?" Daisy responded.
"At least she's being constructive," Katherine said optimistically. Presently, Sophie came out.
"Whoa," she said.
"Mind-boggling, huh?" Daisy queried.
"How long has she been doing this?" Sophie wondered in a whisper.
"Numerous minutes," Daisy answered. Juliette took another swing.
"Okay, hold it!" Sophie exclaimed. "Cliffhanger meeting now!" she declared, taking hold of the axe handle.
"What? I'm being constructive! I'm not cutting or purging!" Juliette protested, trying to reclaim it.
"True. But I think you're starting to scare the guys," Sophie said. At this, the dark-haired girl looked at the rest of the Cliffhangers, who were looking at her apprehensively.
"Okay, fine. I'll talk," Juliette agreed.
"Now, what's going on?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah. You were basically fine before your mom called and when you came back, you were Tasmanian devil," Ezra said.
"She---she just---I hate her! I hate the way she makes me feel!" Juliette exclaimed.
"Did she say anything to you?" Sophie asked.
"She---she said---she said she was coming up!" Juliette cried.
"How do you feel about that?" Sophie questioned.
"I don't want to see her!" Juliette shouted. She began to take off.
"Jules---" Katherine said, taking her arm.
"Leave me alone!" Juliette yelled, yanking free. She ran away.
