Sleep. As of recent it had become something she feared, something that held horrors and guilt she couldn't forget. Tonight she had fallen to a dreamless sleep completely exhausted, dreamless but not devoid of warnings.

No images came to her this time , nothing she could call a dream , it was like listening to the soundtrack of an old movie that kept switching scenes.

She's not who you think she is

And then there was voice so clear and familiar came through like someone somewhere had re-mastered the tape in her head. It called out it her calling her name.

"Julie, Julie wake up "

It seemed familiar somehow a women's voice so familiar the face belonging to it just out of reach.

"Wake up!"

With that final barked order Julie snapped from her sound sleep to find their room filling with smoke! She had never woken up so quickly and felt so alert. Her mind instantly snapped to attention, the lair was on fire and they had to get out.

"Mikey" She screamed loudly shaking him roughly awake.

"Huh?" He muttered sleepily

"Get up" She said already doing so herself

"In the morning baby" He mumbled eyes still closed a cheeky grin on his face.

She screamed inwardly in frustration she didn't have time for him to be half asleep they needed to get out now. She jumped back onto the bed and yanked his head off the pillow.

"Fire" She screamed at the top of lungs her face just inches from his, now he was awake.

The escape was a blur , they woke the others and found there way out coughing and gasping on the smoke, the fire it seemed had started in the dojo which lucky left their only escape path clear.

The ran off through the tunnels the smell of various burning items chasing them along as they went. On Splinters choked orders they stayed underground until the reached the warehouse districted, it would be easy to go unnoticed there.

She ran along replaying the voice over and over in her head , it was so familiar , a half blurred face formed in her mind but she couldn't complete it. Mikey was behind her jogging along with one hand on her back, Leo lead the way.

After what felt like an eternity they reached the manhole and quickly climbed up into the fresh night air. She stood a little apart from them still pondering the voice that had woken her, the voice that had saved them all from a fiery death.

Without warning Master Splinter dropped to his knees coughing, the smoke finally catching up with him, Mikey rushed to his side along with his other brothers but Julie stood stalk still.

The face had formed, and she knew the voice. Her heart stopped beating for a moment with the realization that the voice from her "dream" had been her own. She took a deep breath and made to say something but it was cut off with a muffled sound.

If Mikey had turned around in that moment he would have seen it, a hand reaching out from the shadows , a hand pulling Julie in.
