Julie was having one of  the worst nightmares in her life. It at first didn't seem to bad, with  her going through what seemed to be an abandoned L.A. and she was  calling out for her family.

Julie:Shark? Piranha? Hello?

However,  things took a very frightening turn as when she saw something up ahead.  When she got closer, she was horrified of what she saw: it was her  family! The had gunshot wounds all over them. Their eyes were lifeless.

Julie:Snake! Tarantula! Mom!

She noticed that Wolf wasn't there.

???:Hello, dear daughter...

She  recognized that voice almost instantly. She turned around to see  Terrance, who had red glowing eyes. Next to him was Wolf, who was on his  knees, bruised and bloody. Terrance had a gun pointed to Wolf's head.

Wolf:R-Ringtail...What are you...doing here? It's not...safe-

He  was cut off by Terrance shooting him, making him fall to the ground  dead. Julie was bawling her eyes out. Terrance suddenly had Julie by the  throat. He then tossed her. She turned her head to see the car that ran  her mother over speed toward her. She then woke up with tears in her  eyes, curled up in a ball. Then Wolf soon came in, waking up from the  sound of her thrashing around earlier. When he saw the state she was in,  he was instantly worried.

Julie:Daddy...Snake...

Wolf sat down on her bed.

Wolf:Ringtail, what happened? Are you okay?

Julie let out a small gasp before hugging him and crying into his shirt.

Wolf:It's okay, Dad's here.

He wrapped his arms around her.

Wolf:Dad's got you.

She was still shaking in his arms.

Wolf:So, what happened? It's okay, you can tell me.

Through tears, Julie explained the awful nightmare she had where she found all of them dead. Then Terrance shooting him, and the car.

Wolf:Oh bud, I'm sorry you had a nightmare like that. I know, dreams like that suck and you wish you could forget them. But the important thing to remember is that they can't hurt you, and that they aren't real. Besides, Terrance has been locked away for everything he did.

Julie was still whimpering.

Julie:I just don't to lose any of you...

Wolf held her close.

Wolf:I know, Ringtail. You're still a kid, and you shouldn't have to deal with something like this. But I promise, things will be okay.

Julie:Thank you...
