Dragon Wars: Destined Through Fire (Book 2)

Chapter 39 (Josephs POV) Hello...

I knew who the voice that I had heard was right away, but I could see quite the confused, and scared look on the face of Julia. I turned my head over to her, and I shook my head at her, to get her to relax, and to get her to calm down at the same tine.
I really did not want to talk to this girl, I knew she was going to do a bunch of stuff to make Julia jealous. She had acted a bit strangely to me, the short time that we had been together, and John had told me how she had been all up on my Uncle and him for quite some time.
I really did not want to go downstairs to go and meet her. I just wanted to lay in bed, and try to get a little bit more rest. I wished that I could just have a normal dream for once as well. I missed those, I was not going to lie about that one bit at all.
I suppose you never really know how important something is to you, until you lose it. I groaned a bit, just laying my head down and closing my eyes at the same time too. Just as I had done that however, I heard a few doors open from the other rooms that were with us upstairs.
Then I heard the overly loud footsteps as people began to walk out of their rooms, clearly just as confused as the rest of us were. Julia looked at me for some answers, but I just did not have much to tell her unfortunately at the moment.
She gave up, and then she rolled out of the bed on her side, and she began to stretch a bit to get all of those morning jitters out of her system. I rolled my eyes, which she was a bit confused about as well, and then I took myself out of bed, just like she had done, stretching just as she had.
I was not rolling my eyes at her, I was just rolling my eyes at the fact that it was Zoe that was down the stairs, and I really did not want to meet up with her again. It was not the fact that she was an annoying person, she was actually quite cool in fact.
I just knew that she only wanted me because I was important. Plus she was like 25 as well, and it was a bit too old for me too. Julia was 21, and that was enough as it was. I just loved Julia, and I wish that Zoe would know that she had no chance at getting with me.
I closed my eyes for a few moments, as I heard Julia begin to head over to my side of the bed at the same time as well. Once she had gotten up close to me, she then gave me a kiss, and we held each other for just a couple of moments, which made me feel quite great.
As we sat there for a bit longer, I heard the door open downstairs, signifying that they were letting her into the house. I groaned a little bit, not really all that ready for this. I then opened my eyes, as I saw a small little smile on the face of Julia, but I could tell that she was a bit confused as well.
The smile that she had on her face had at least been enough to light up the day for me. She always had that sort of energy to give me, which I had noticed for quite some time. It was why I had loved her so much, she was my entire world, and I was so happy to have her back.
Then it came back to me, as I saw that her smile was going away a bit now, and she was now just a bit confused as to why I had that look on my face. I gave her one last quick kiss, and just as I was about to tell her about the reason that I had that look on my face, I heard a voice begin to speak to us from the doorway of the room.
It had scared my quite a bit, and more towards Julia, since she was not used to stuff like this quite yet. It had scared me because it had seemed like everyone had gone downstairs, as I had heard everyone talking to each other on the bottom story of the house.
I had not expected someone to walk into the room like that. Not only was it that, but also it was because we had not heard footsteps coming over to the room, and the floor was a bit creaky up here. Julia had nearly fallen to the ground once she had heard the voice, but luckily she had gotten herself steady before she did so.
We both turned our heads over to the person that was at the door step to the room, as Julia was still a bit confused and a bit surprised, but it was the complete opposite for me, once I had seen who was there, and I had heard the voice, as I listened to him speak up to the both of us.
"Well you 2... It looks like Zoe is already here for some reason... A couple of weeks early if I might add, and if I had to guess, it is because she is competing with us to see who could get here first." He said to us. I nodded to him, as I knew that he was correct.
Something always had to be a competition with her, which was one of the things that annoyed me about her. Everything else about her was fairly cool, and she had quite a good sense of humor if I was not going to lie. I just still did not really want to go down there to meet her right now.
Julia looked at me, squinting her eyes a bit confused to me, I tried my best to give in to her, as I looked away, and tried my best not to think about any of it. I saw the look on the face of John, as he and I both knew what it was that I was thinking about.
I had told John about it, though I was a bit embarrassed about it, to tell the truth, but I always knew that I had to practically report everything that happened to me to John. Which was not a bad thing most of the time, it meant that he was able to give me good advice.
But that night had been a bit strange for me, I was not going to lie one bit at all. As I began to recall the memory, almost as if it was some sort of vivid dream from the night before. Though I knew that it was just a memory from quite a long time ago.
