JULIE AT THE STABLES
Julie had found some packaged food, and eaten, then found a surface
to sleep on, but was woken before daybreak by the sound of voices,
and they were coming closer. They were discussing some children
they were hoping to bring first there and then take to a place called
Shamouti Island. At this, Julie's ears pricked up because that was her
planned destination, where she recalled that her master would
probably be. At that point, the two people entered and Julie saw they
were a man and a woman, who looked rather shocked to find her
there.
"What IS it?" cried the man.
"It looks like Julie, you remember Julie, Carl, but the colours are all
wrong for her." The woman said.
Julie screeched and geared up for a blizzard, but as she let fly
something odd happened. The woman put out her hand and an
invisible wall seemed to deflect the attack. It didn't touch either of
them.
While they were distracted, Julie slipped back out of the window and
took off into the sky. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and she headed off the way she had been going when nightfall had interrupted her journey.
