She reached the address Reese had given her and pulled up
into the drive, parking behind Milo's car and unplugging the cellphone before
slipping it into her jacket pocket and getting out, locking the UV behind her as
she turned toward the house and looked up.
Wow... was all she could think before pocketing the keys
as well and walking up to the front door and gently pushing the door open and
stepping across the threshold.
"Milo?" she called out, closing the door behind her
"Reese?"
Reese looked up from a box she had taken from the closet
and toward the door "Up here Julia."
Julia walked toward the stairwell and put her hand on the
banister, only to blink and look at the figure at the base of the railing and
then back up.
Something cold started to curl about her, whether it be
from the old/almost haunted house atmosphere or something else, and it made her
steps slow as she continued up the stairs. She didn't know why, but she
got a quick flash of when she had been in Ireland and had gone up the stairs to
the shop owner's second floor office...
The image flashed across her mind and she closed her eyes
to disgard the memory. Why would she think of that now of all
times?

The woman watched the new arrival, dark eyes narrowing as
she sensed the.. difference in her.
She had power - power unlike that of Reese - and it
surrounded her in an invisible aura that seemed to dance all about the woman's
form.
This woman, she thought with a small growl unheard, could
very well be a problem. She would have to follow this one and make sure to
take care of her before she became a problem.
Because she, the one that had waited for her neice's life
and power for so long, would not be stopped.
All that would try to do so would die.

Julia reached the room and put on a smile of greeting,
pushing back the memories and the affects of them "Am I too late to jump in and
help?"
