Martin and Melissa after enjoying their stroll downtown decided to spend the rest of the afternoon snuggled together, watching a sappy romantic movie on television. With Julie not allowed to watch t.v as punishment for her recent acts; she resigns herself to her room; trolling her social media sites. Not knowing that Eric, Frieda and Spencer were out shopping, she had no idea what was keeping them from accepting her friend requests on her fake accounts.
With a small chime, Julie snaps too as an email came in from the email account she crafter to mess with Brian walker. See the reply she opens the message; what she reads concerns her greatly.
‘If you are who you say you are then you will know of the stuffed animal I won when we both attended the fair all those years ago. The next time you want to talk will have to be in person; after you have to deal with the elder council and appeal to them over reversing being declared dead.’
Julie swore; her attempt to get at Brian stymied at a cryptic message she herself couldn’t begin to understand. ‘What stuffed animal and what fair’ Julie thinks to herself.
“Declared dead,” Julie mumbles; “I wonder what that means.”
Julie spends some time pondering what it all means.
“If only I had friends that would take the time to chat with me,” Julie sighs. Closing the email without even bothering to come up with a response; Julie heads down stairs to get something to eat.
In the kitchen Julie could hear her parents watching their movie; making herself a peanut butter and jam sandwich, she looks at the pile of homework she completed when John Shafer dropped it all off for her last Thursday. She places it next to the front entrance; knowing he will come by on his way to school tomorrow to pick it up, finishing her sandwich and heads back upstairs. Back in her room she looks at her computer again and sighs. The one outlet Julie has with the world, and no one talk to; Julie wonders if this is what incarceration is supposed to be like. Not caring what time it is; Julie heads to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready for bed.

Martin and Melissa give a pleasant sigh as the movie they watched came to an end; with the remnants of the rock candy and fudge they bought at Candied Chaos lying on the coffee table before them. As they get up they see that the time is approaching eight in the evening.
“We never had supper,” Martin stretching as he stands up; “Julie must be starving.”
“I’ll make some sandwiches,” Melissa getting up.
As both Martin and Melissa head into the kitchen they see an empty plate in the kitchen sink and Julie’s homework placed at the front entrance. Melissa heads upstairs to see Julie already in bed. She comes back down to see Martin already making a couple of sandwiches.
“Well,” He comments.
“Julie is already in bed,” Melissa answers. Taking a sandwich and biting into it; “I hope this situation with her is resolved soon. I worry she might do something foolish just to break the monotony she faces.”
“We won’t know until Wednesday when Julie stands before the judge to answer her assault charges,” Martin sighing.
Julie attacked Eric Anderson and Frieda Knight during freshman lunch on Tuesday of last week after finding out that Frieda put Eric on the path of becoming a were-panther. Since then she has been suspended from school indefinitely, pending her criminal charges. Her attorney Brett Smithson was busy working on her defense.
“I just hope Brett Smithson will have some good news for tomorrow,” Melissa sighs as she finishes her sandwich. Putting her plate away, Melissa looks at Martin; “I’ll give her a call tomorrow.”
“I’ll clean up,” Martin still eating.
