So before I begin this Chapter,it might be too gory and bloody at the end,so yeah just a warnings for those sensitive people out there.
--------------------------
Alice's POV
"Where's Julia, again?" asked Sally,my best friend.
I looked at her,"For once,I have no idea..."
"We need to find her!" huffed Sally, "she ditched us yesterday,and we need to talk to her!"
"I know,I know Sal..." I whispered, "But don't you just feel like we're...I don't know...forgot something...?" I asked,unsure of myself.
Sally looked deep in thought,"Well,of what I remember....no..."
I sighed,"ok then.Lets go find her!"
"BUT!We need the boys!"
I sweat dropped,"oh..right..."
----------------
"Do you think they remembered?" asked Jake.
"Nah,don't think so..." mumbled Fred.
"......"
"Raph..?...Raph..?" asked Jake.
"....."
Fred furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hands all around in front of Raph's face,"YO RAPH!!"
Raphael stayed still,not saying a word.
"Let me handle this," said Jake,pushing Fred aside and standing in front of Raph.He raised his right hand and slapped Raph across the face,leaving a red hand mark on it.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?!?" yelled Raph,finally out of his trance.
"Making come back to earth,baka,that's for," answered Fred.
Raph glared at them and walked ahead,making them run after him.
"So...now what..?" asked Jake,unsure of what to do.
"Maybe we can-"
"Why are you boys going to hang out with the witch?"
The boys turned towards the sound of the voice,seeing who it was.It was none other than Sheila,Julia's loathed enemy.They narrowed their eyes at him,making Sheila frown.
"Oh come one boys,I know you'd rather come with me," making her smile once again.
"Uh...no thanks...." said Raph.
" Yeah and besides she's not a witch...." exclaimed Jake.
Sheila looked at him with a 'really?' face.
"You're the witch here,duh."
Sheila gasped and glared at them,making her stomp away.
Raph smiled,"thanks."
------------------------
"Nobody cares about me...." mumbled Julia.
Julia has been hiding in her home,away from....people...Knowing it's her birthday,she'd rather stay inside her house,with nobody to bother or annoy her.She's been cutting herself,to make the sorrow go away of ever being born.Having a towel next to her,she cleaned up blood or tears from her black eye.
Anyone in their right mind would scream and run away from seeing her black eye.After the little blackout incident yesterday,her mother found her and woke her up.Then she went off,leaving the house all for Julia.Yes,good job,mother...
"I bet none of the guys remembered...." she spoke softly to herself.
"Not even Raph...." she whispered,letting a few tears out.
Her doorbell rang,making her jump slightly.She quickly got some bandages,covered her cuts up,and put down her sleeves from her sweater.
"Who is it?"
"Raph,Fred,and Jake!" answered Raph.
Julia blushed furiously,"w-what do you want...?"
"Here to give you some gifts!And say happy birthday!" answered Jake.
"Oh...um...."
They actually remembered? she thought..
"C-come in then..." she finally answered.
The door creaked open,revealing the boys with presents,making Julia smile slightly.
"Wow,haven't seen that smile in a while..." smiled Raph.
Julia blushed furiously,"oh...uh..yeah...thank you.."
"Well,we got some gifts for you!" exclaimed Fred,happily.
"Oh,right.." Julia said,receiving the three presents.
"Ooh,open mine first!Open mine first!" said Jake,acting like a little kid.
Julia smiled at him,and took his gift.She destroyed the wrapping and opened a box to reveal,a friendship braclet.With 'J' on it.She looked up to see Jake showing his side of the necklace,with a 'J' on it too.
"Thanks Jake..."
"Your welcome."
Julia grabbed Fred's gift,which seemed medium-sized.She tore the wrapping up and took the ribbon and opened the box up,showing the sweater she wanted,since her old,black one is pretty much torn up by now.She smiled at him,"Wow,thanks Fred..."
"No problemo."
"Now open mine up!" exclaimed Raph.
"Ok ok"
Julia got a hold of Raph's present,which seemed kinda small.She hesitantly opened it up wanting to know what is it,coming from Raph.She put the torn up wrapping paper aside,and opened the box up,revealing a black and red music storage box.She took it out of the box,and winded it up.'Pop goes the Weasel' played slowly,and then out popped a little frame,like a picture frame,with a photo of her and Raph,as little kids.
"Oh..my...god..." was all Julia could say.
Raph smiled,knowing she liked the present,"like it?"
"No I don't..."
Raph frowned for a moment.
"I LOVE IT!"
The boys looked at her with wide eyes,a bit suprised at her outburst.Julia sweat dropped and smiled at them,nervously,"please...ignore..t-that..."
They smiled at her,"yeah,we know."
"But seriously,I never liked my birthday,too much attention...but now..."
They looked at her,hoping shed like her birthday p,for once in her lifetime.
"I kinda like it..." she smiled.
"Yeah well....YOU might not enjoy your birthday,but WE'RE all glad that you WERE born!" said Raphael.
"Yes,without you,life would suck..." added Fred.
"YOUR THE BEST!" exclaimed Jack,being his little kid-self.
Julia smiled.She felt...happy.
Happy.
An emotion she NEVER felt.
But...it feels...
Nice.
Julia wished this happiness can last forever,maybe it can...
---------------------
"Come on!I knew we forgot something!IT WAS JULIA'S BIRTHDAY!!" yelled Alice,running towards Julia's home with Sally.
"Ok ok!Ugh!She must be so pissed at us right now!" added Sally.
"Yes I know!But come on!The sun is just about to set,so it's not so late!"
"Right!"
The two girls ran to the cottage,encountering Sheila on the way.They flew right passed her,pretending as if she were the dust maids have to sweep.She stomped off,just like she did with the boys,leaving Alice and Sally alone.
They finally arrived at Julia's home after minutes,which seemed like hours,of running.Alice knocked on her door like she always does,expecting a gruff voice like always,but instead,got a....jubilant reply...?
"Who is it?"
Alice answered,quite weirded out,"it's Alice and Sally!"
"Come in!"
Alice slowly creaked the door open,along with Sally,to see Julia with a smile on her face and the boys next to her,happy as ever.
"Um...hello!" greeted Sally.
"Yes....Hi.." added Alice.
"Why are you two here?" asked Julia,happily.
Alice answered,"oh!Um...we accidentally forgot your birthday at first...but then we remembered and got you something!"
"Yes,we hope you like our presents!And sorry for forgetting..." apologized Sally.
"No,it's alright..and thanks for the presents!" said Julia,receiving their gifts.
"Your welcome!" exclaimed Alice and Sally,simultaneously.
--------------
The rest of that day,Julia's house was filled with....noise and happiness...
Citizens of Hopesville passed by,looking at the house strangely,especially since Julia could be seen smiling and laughing for once in her life after.....who knows how long..?
But all in all,people were happy for the 'most perfect girl' to be smiling and laughing once again,after years.
After the little 'party' they had,Alice and Sally took Jake and Fred away to go home,being 10:00 PM.Raph waved them goodbye softly,while Julia literally waved her hands around as a goodbye.Raph secretly smiled at her from behind,happy to see his crush..well..happy!
Raph said goodbye to Julia after a while,and Julia decided to go to bed after a long,fun day.
It's been a while since I've felt so much happiness...she thought,I wonder if I can ALWAYS feel it...
She changed into her pajamas,to get comfortable,even though there all torn up and into little pieces.She flopped down herself on her bed,and covered herself under the blankets.
Good night sleep?
I don't think so.....
-----------------
-You'll never escape us!-
-We're part of you already!-
I was running for my life....
-It's time Julia!-
No...I don't want that house back again....
-IT'S TIME!!-
I DON'T WANT ANOTHER DOLLHOUSE!!
-YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR DOLLHOUSE!!-
No....
-AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT JULIA!!-
NO!!!!!!
-------------------------
Breathing heavily,Julia woke up from that hellish nightmare.Julia quickly ran to the bathroom and check the mirror,to see her left eye pure black with the white pupil.She grabbed a towel,wet it and cleaned up the spilling blood from her eyes.Julia checked the clock from her room,to see it was 3:00 AM.
"My birthday is ruined...." she mumbled to herself.
-Not quite my dear Julia..-
"Dark spirits..." Julia gasped.
-Thats right Julia...-
"Why do you always need to ruin my life?!?!!" she yelled.
-Oh we're not ruining it....-
"....."
-We're just getting you a new dollhouse...-
"I DONT WANT A DOLLHOUSE!!"
-YES YOU DO!!-
"NO I DONT!!" she yelled,making the light break into millions of pieces.
Julia looked over to the broken light in the floor,with wide eyes.
-Dollhouse....-
And the dark spirits entered Julia again.She began to groan in agony and fell to the floor.Her head,eyes,ears,mouth,everything started bleeding.She opened both her eyes up,to reveal her pitch black eyes with white pupils and them.She began to laugh like a maniac and whispered quietly.
"D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E....I see things that nobody else sees..."
