Author's note: hey guys im bored so..im writing another chapter! Haha so here goes!
We showed Wesley where to sleep. His room is at the very end of the hall. After that we told him to get in the shower while we cooked dinner so he did. Lauren went to the grocery store to get things for dinner and Derek and simon were researching my power outburst while tori said something about doing her nails. so I went to the living room and sat on the couch. After sitting there for acouple minutes I decided to take a short nap, since I did the power earlier on Wesley I felt exhausted. So I grabbed a pillow and layed down. After acouple minutes or so I drifted off.
I was on a beach. The sun getting ready to set. The beach was clear of people and the sand felt great between my toes. I looked down and I was wearing khaki shorts and a purple tank top. I looked up to see chloe knee high in the calm water. I walked over to where she was and stepped in the water that surprising felt real. I walked over to her and stood by her. She stared at the sun setting quietly. I joined her until she said something.
"Julia you did the right thing helping him. Hes very trustworthy. You're a wonderful girl your know that?"
I stayed quiet for a moment then felt a hot tear run down my cheek.
I looked at her and she had her eyebrows creased in thought looking at me.
"its just- I feel like im living up to your expectations. Why couldn't you have just lived everyone would be happier. Everything I do I can feel pain in the room. Because everything I do reminds them of you."
"if I hadn't died you wouldn't be here." She said calmly
"that would have saved a lot of trouble" I said quietly.
She turns to me and grabs me hand and looks me in my eyes. "julia give them time. They will come to realize they cant mourn me forever." She said
I decided to drop the matter and I turned toward the sun.
"why do we come here?" I said motioning to the beach.
She smiled. "its places we have been. I came here acouple months before my mom died."
"im sorry" I said turning to look at her
She smiled at me. "its ok. I saw her alittle bit after you were born. I see her every once in a while."
I nodded my head. She grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the shore.
"you need to tell Derek to find the book supernaturalis manes. It will help explain what happened. When you calmed Wesley down." She said
I nodded. "thank you. Can I see you soon?" I asked
She shook her head. "no I think it will be alittle while. But we will see." She said with a smile.
She leaned forward and kissed my head. "Julia wake up" she said
"Julia wake up." I open my eyes to see simon leaning over me. "dinner is ready" he says with a smile.
I nodded my head sleepily and got up. I walked into the kitchen to see simon tori Wesley and lauren sitting at the table about to eat. I grabbed a plate of chicken pot pie and sat down. Everyone ate quiet till I decided to say something.
"wheres Derek?" I asked
"researching" tori said with an eyeroll.
"everyone is so tense. I mean I know it's a major danger having me with you but.. I was thinking…" I said trailing off at the end seeing everyone's faces.
"ok look im am bored as hell and and im stressed so what would cure that more than a family night?" I said with a smile.
Everyone just looked at me, so I waited.
"yea. Ok im in" Wesley says
"same here" simon says.
"that would be fun!" lauren says with a smile. Tori was the only one left so I turned to her and waited as did everyone else.
She looked at our faces. And smiled. "ok fine" everyone smiled and turned back to their meals. I was done so I put my plate in the dishwasher.
Just as I was about to say something the phone rings. Simon jumps up and gets it.
"hello?" he says with a straight face. After whoever it was replies, a smile bursts on his face.
"seriously!" he says they reply
"oh my god! Ok see you tomorrow! Bye!"
"who was that?" I asked curious
"it was my dad hes coming to town. I havnt seen him in years!" he said practically jumping out of his shoes.
"seriously?" tori asks with a big smiled on her face. Simon nods excitedly
"im gonna go tell Derek!" simon says running up the stairs.
I decided since Derek hasn't eaten I'd take him a plate of food.
Derek's p.o.v.
I was starving. But I couldn't let this go. I just felt like I had to. When I was in the middle of a book simon ran in. he seemed really excited.
"Derek guess what!" he said bouncing like a toddler about to get ice cream.
"what?" I said bored.
"dads coming in! tomorrow!" he said
"yes! Seriously? That's awesome I cant wait!" I said. I hadn't seen my dad in 8 years. He said he had to leave to make sure that the Edison group was really defeated.
"I know! I cant wait! Whooo!" he said running out of the room. I chuckled and returned to my book. I really was excited about him coming but im not the kind of person to show a lot of emotion. Only chloe could get that side out of me.
Just as I was turning the page Julia walks in with a steaming plate of chicken pot pie.
"here I thought you would be hungry. Wolfs gotta eat right?" she said with a laugh. I laughed then turned back to my book. So uh I looked on the internet and found a website about necromancer books, I think you should try one called supernaturalis manes." She said.
I nodded setting down the book I had and went to the bookshelf an looked for it. Julia came over to help. It seems every day she turns more like chloe.
"oh here it is." she said trying to reach a book on the top shelf. I reached over her and got it. I went and sat down. I grabbed the plate and set it in my lap. Julia just kept looking through the books obviously curious about her ability like chloe was. I opened the book while taking a bite of the food. i flipped through and found a chapter called power out bursts.
I read for acouple minutes while eating until I read a paraghragh.
When a necromancer has a power outburst it means that a ghost necromancer was near and helping. Also what could happen is them having visions with the ghost in it. But the only way they have these outbursts are when the ghost is closely related to the necromancer.
I put it down and thought about what I just read. After a minute or so it clicked in my mind. I had a forkful of food almost to my mouth I dropped in on my plate wich made Julia jump and drop the book she was reading on the armchair in the corner.
Julia's p.o.v.
I found a book that seems interesting so I sat down and started reading it until I heard a clatter coming from Derek wich made me jump. I looked up to see him getting up from his chair and storming over to me.
"you've talked to her!" he yelled. I stood up.
"what are you talking about?" I asked calmly
"you've be- you've been talking to her! In visions!" he said
"yeah? So what?" I said starting to get aggravated.
"because that could mean something big for us! Its could help us!" he yelled
"oh that is a load of crap! Your mad because you cant see her! Its my only connection with her! You guys have memories!" I screamed
"why does that even matter to you! You never knew her! You still wouldn't even know about her if we hadn't moved! So why does it matter!"
"because!" I yelled
"because why!" he said looking me in the eyes.
I finally just lost it and let all my pent up anger out.
"because everything I do around here hurts you all. Its hurts you because I look like her! I cant- cant deal with that! Shes my only connection to myself! I have no idea who I am! Its not like I was never going to tell you anyway! I mean you have tori and simon! I have noyone to talk to! Around here its all chloe! Im Julia! JULIA MARTIN! NOT CHLOE SAUNDERS! " I said turning on my heel and storming out.
I walked to my room and shut the door leaning on it crying. Noyone understand how much this costs me! ive lost everything! They don't even like me because of chloe! This whole room is like a shrine pictures everywhere! I went over to the dresser and took a picture of her and threw it at the wall.
Why did they even tell me about this! I could be at home with my friends! I took the picture out of my bag that had me and my friends on it. I threw it at the same place I threw the other picture. I walked over to the closet and pulled all of the clothes out and threw them on the floor. I cant deal with this.
After that I went to the side of my bed and just sat down leaning against it. And cried. Why did chloe have to die? Why cant she just still be here so that I can not be here. Not here in this house not here in this state not here on this earth!
After I calmed down abit someone knocked on the door I just didn't answer. Derek can fuck off.
After a minute or so the door cracked open. I just looked at the floor. I felt someone sit beside me and sigh. I looked up to see Wesley sitting beside me staring at the wall. After acouple seconds he looked at me with his golden eyes. I just looked at him and felt the tears slid down my face. He put his arm around me and held me. after what felt like hours I finally calmed down to where I could see without tears blurring my vision.
I looked at Wesley.
"thank you" I said hoarsely
He just shrugged. "it's the least I could do after everything you've done to save me."
I smiled "I feel like a noob.." I said
"noob?" he said laughing. I just playfully hit his shoulder. I yawned. And got up with him.
He turned to leave. "wait. Please stay here. Please" I asked desperately
He nodded and got into the bed with me. he layed down 2 feet away from me. I just looked at him with my puppy dog face. He sighed and laughed and opened his arms so I could scoot in.
For the first time since I had left with them I felt ok.
