I do not own under the dome or any of it's characters. I only own the characters I made up. Like Katie for example.

*Katie ' POV. 7 years ago*

I sat there in the hospital room next to my mom who was dying of cancer. My grandpa Jon, grandma Vicki and my aunt Lillian were all there with me.

"Mom, mom please don't leave," i said with tears in my eyes. "Katie," when my mom spoke, I could tell how weak she was. "My sweet girl, your gonna be fine when I'm gone. Your aunt is going to take such good care of you, isn't that right Lilly?" My mom shifted her gaze to my aunt. "Yes I will I promise." My aunt said crying as well.

"Good" my mother nodded. "Now Katie, you need to be brave. Don't take anything you have for granted." I nodded at everything she said.

"I love you mom," I said between sobs. "I love you too baby girl, I love you more the you'll ever know." She said with a small smile on her face. I think everyone, (including the doctor,) was crying now.
"Look at me," She said and I did. My mother and I looked almost exactly alike. With our slightly pale skin, our long blonde hair and very pink lips. The only difference between us was she had warm hazel eyes and my eyes were a bright blue. She said I got my eyes from my father. I never knew who he was. All my mom told me was that they were in a relationship for a short time and it didn't work out. The only thing I have of him is an old watch my mother said was his. Apparently my father didn't even know I was born.

"Katie," She was whispering so only I could here. "You need to use your gift. It will come in handy in the future," My "gift" as she called it, was that I got these visions I guess you could say, everyone told me they were just dreams. So I decided to ignore them. That is until I had a dream of a woman dying in a car accident. I told my mom about it and she told me not to worry that it was probably still just a dream. But I didn't believe her, I told a few other people about it and they just thought I was nuts. Soon everyone started calling me Crazy Katie.

That is until I told my friend Junior Rennie about it, he didn't believe neither, but his mother Pauline did. She told me she too had visions. And she told me she was the woman in the car. She said not to worry about it, that everything would be fine.

But I didn't believe her. So I tried talking to her husband "Big Jim" about it, he didn't listen, he doesn't listen to Pauline either so I gave up. I trusted that Pauline knew what she was doing. And not even 6 months later she commit suicide. She drove her car into a tree.

"Katie," my mom's almost inaudible voice brought me out of my trance. She was so weak, I hated seeing her in pain.

"I-I love...I love you...Ka-" She couldn't continue, she stopped moving completely and closed her eyes.

"Mom? Mom!" I yell as I shook her, trying to get her to wake up, but it was no use. My aunt pulled me out of the room as into the hallway. The minute she let go of me I ran.

I knew my way around Chesters Mill pretty well so I had a good sense of where I was going for a 9 year old.

I was almost to my street when I bumped into another person.

"Ow," the boy said getting back up. I looked up and saw Junior standing there. "G-Get outta my way Juni," I said while still slightly sobbing. Junior and I met when I was 2 so I couldn'tsay his name properly so it came out Juni and it sorta stuck.

He frowned at me. "Katie how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? He asked sounding annoyed. He was never very fond of the nickname I gave him. But usually he let it go because we were friends. Why is he deciding to make a big deal about it now?

"Um Katie why are you crying?" He asked. Now he noticed.
"My m-mom just died." I say.
"I'm sorry for your loss," he said. Really? That's literally all he can say right now?

"And I-I saw it," I continued.
"What do you mean you saw it? Like before it happened? Like you did with my mom?" He asked, I nodded.

"You know I thought you were kidding when you said that stuff about my mom." he said starting to sound a little bit angry? Why would he be angry at me?

"Junior-" He cut me off.
"But now your saying it about your own mom. You know maybe they were right, maybe you are crazy Katie." He finished. I can't believe he just said that to me. He called me crazy. He was supposed to be my best friend, I thought of him as the older brother I never had and he goes and says that to me? Right after my mom dies? Are you kidding me!

I'm about to respond when another blonde girl about his age comes walking up to him. "Hey Junior, what's up?" She asks. It's the McAlister girl. I recognize her because I'm in the same class as her little brother Joe. She looks at me as if she is about to say something but Junior grabs her arm pulling her along

"Come on Angie," he says but she pulls away from him and walks up to me.
"Hey, you okay Hart?" She asks me. But I'm to upset at Junior to respond so I just nod. She doesn't look convinced but I think she can tell I want to be left alone. And she was right.

"See ya around Hart," She said and waved goodbye to me.
"Yeah, talk to you later Katie," Junior said as they left. "Don't count on it Juni." I whispered to myself.

I haven't spoken to Junior Rennie since then. And I plan too. Until now, but Juni may be different then how I remember him.
