Myka took a deep breath before she came down the stairs to join the others. She stood off awkwardly at the corner of the room. She could hear Abigail opening the door, greeting Mrs. Frederic and Juliet.
"Please come this way." Abigail led them to the living room.
Juliet came in last, behind the two other women. Everybody now got a better look at her. She was small, no taller than 5'2, olive skin, with long wavy brown hair, and big brown eyes.
The first person the girl looked at was Claudia and then she moved on to Pete, than Steve, than Artie and finally her eyes landed on Myka. The first thing she noticed was how tall the woman was and then how absolutely stunning she was.
"Juliet," Irene brought her eyes attention away from the female agent. "this is Artie Nielson." She gestured to the man who was now standing next to her.
"Hello." He greeted and stuck his hand.
Juliet just smiled at him, revealing her perfectly straight teeth as she shook his hand.
"And Claudia Donavan."
Claudia awkwardly stood up from the couch and shook the girls hand as well.
The rest of introductions went about the same way except for Myka's, Juliet didn't need an introduction for her because she exactly who Myka was.
"You're my legal guardian right? Myka Bering?" The girl asked.
"Yes she is." Mrs. Frederic answered before Myka even got a chance to open her mouth. "If you need anything you will come to her. You remember what we talked about right?"
"Yes." The girl nodded. "Hello Myka." She smiled softly.
"Hi." Myka returned.
Abigail watched the exchange between the two. She concluded that perhaps this was going to take a bit longer than expected.
/Mrs. Frederic left after the men in the black suits took all of Juliet's belongings up stairs. But before she did leave she asked Juliet if there was anything that she needed.
"Yes actually." The young girl said. "I would like to keep in touch with my best friend. I promise I won't tell her where I am or what I'm doing I just would like to be able to still talk to her, if that alright?"
"Alright," Mrs. Frederic nodded. "That's fine. Oh before I forget." She took something out of her pocket and handed it to the teenager.
"An iphone?" The girl questioned. "..is this for me?"
"Yes." Irene answered. "but you may only call your friend."
"Well she's my only friend so you won't have to worry about me calling anybody else." Juliet chuckled. "Thank you for the phone."
"Of course. Remember if you need anything.."
"Ask Miss. Cho or Miss. Bering." Juliet finished.
"I'll come and check on things in a few weeks." Mrs. Frederic said as she slid into the passenger seat of the SUV.
Juliet stood outside in the driveway for a few moments after the car drove off. She finally took everything in. She really was in the middle of nowhere in the South Dakota at a B&B with six other adults who worked for the government, all because she could see ghosts..
"It's always me." She said to herself as she made her way back to the B&B.
She always considered herself the Neville Longbottom of this world. No matter what, she could never get a break.
"Oh Juliet dinner will be ready in twenty minutes." Abigail said as set up some plates on the dining room table.
"Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'm just gonna go upstairs and unpack some things." She gestured to said place.
"Oh yeah go ahead." Abigail gave her a small smile.
"She's really cute." Claudia whispered to Jinks. He just looked at her confused. "You know for a little kid…"
Once in her new room the first thing Juliet did was lay on her bed and look up at the ceiling, she suddenly felt incredibly tired but she never slept so..it didn't really matter.
"Hello." Juliet's eyes widened when she heard the voice.
'I thought I closed the door' she thought to herself. 'Doesn't anybody knock?'
She sat up and looked at the boy standing in front of her. He must have been about nineteen, he had blonde hair hat was swept back and he was wearing a collared white shirt that was tucked into his jeans and pair of black converse.
"Um..hi." She said back tentively.
"It's not every day that you find a beautiful girl lying on your bed in your room." He chuckled.
"What?" She asked confused. "I though this was..are we.."
"Did you draw this?" He asked he picked up the sketch book that had picture of flower on it.
"…yes." She answered.
"Wow you're really good." He complemented.
"Thanks."
"So you staying for supper?" He leaned against the wall. She just nodded. "Great!" He beamed. "Oh hold on my mom's calling for me. Don't you dare go anywhere." He opened the door and ran out.
"I didn't hear any.." She got up from the bed and walked out into the hallway. "thing." She finished. It was completely empty.
She felt a sudden cold chill run through her body.
"…oh no."
