When We See the Sun Again

Chapter 7

20 hours until we see the sun again

Juliana felt guilty. She just felt so guilty. Her friends probably meant well. But it was just another reminder that Hattie was gone. There was nothing they could do to change that. Now all it did was bring back memories of times lost in flames. The sky outside was dark. Strange noises were audible. But Juliana didn't care, Guilt was the star of her night tonight. She just couldn't feel anything without it being there. The death of Hattie would always foreshadow her life. She knew that Hattie was like a mouse but she hadn't realized that it would lead to something so Terrible

The noises outside were getting louder. Juliana look out the window. There was nothing out there. Was the gang downstairs getting drunk or something. If there was one thing she could do she could at least make sure that they didn't burn the place down.

As Juliana went down the stairs and instead of finding her friends going nuts they were all looking at something out the window.

"and here i thought you were all out here getting drunk-" She started to say but then Charles interrupted her.

"Shush!" he exclaimed pointing out the window that they were all focused on "Just look out the window, we weren't making the noise" Juliana sighed and looked in the direction of Charles's finger and gasped.

"It looks like what we saw in the lake" Jay said "you know the thing you all said was a Lie"

"The similarities are there" Sage agreed "That one has something on its arm though."

"I feel like we should call them something" Brianna said

"What about Satan?" Ashlynn suggested and the others gave her a look "What?! thats what is looks like! Some result of a Satanic ritual"

"That is a fair point" Emmy agreed.

"What about Malacoda?" Charles asked "It pretty much means "Evil or Bad" but in Italian it means Evil/Bad tail but who as actually paying attention to that?

"How about we call them Dysnomia" Juliana said "That actually translates to bad or wrong in Greek"

"I like that" Jay agreed "No offense Charles"

"None taken" Charles said 

"How did you even know that Juli?" Martin asked

"I payed attention during the Greek Mythology unit" Juliana replied "You should try it sometime it works wonders on your grades"

"ooooo Lovers quarell" Matthew said "Trouble in paradise?"

"Shut your freaking mouth Matt" Said Martin. Juliana rolled her eyes. It was nice to see her friends talking normally again. Even if it meant Matthew was antagonizing everybody within the vicinity.

"Not to burst anyone's bubble or anything....." Brianna said "But whatever that things is........ITS GONE"

"Well where else would it go?" Sage said looking out the window for clues. That was strange. It had been right there. And they had all been looking right at it. It had just VANISHED. Yep it was definitely some kind of demon's spawn. There was no way that thing came from the heavens above to help them make s'mores. Ashlynn was definitely right on some level. Juliana returned her attention to the window. Since it was summer it was hard to see any clues. would have been easier if it had been snowing. But when she looked carefully she could see some muddy footprints leading around to the back of the house. Sage noticed the footprints at the same moment.

"Guys-" Sage started to point out the prints when a sudden noise stopped her mid sentence.

It was the sound of glass shattering somewhere in the house.
