A Shot in the Dark

Note: OK, this is based on a conversation that another user and I had on a post on the DS 2012 Board in regards to the very first pic of Depp we got. Basically, it was speculating that Julia was watching Victoria and Barnabas on the beach-and she wasn't happy.

If anyone takes this seriously, I feel sorry for them. Warning: Very jealous and drunk Julia.

She stood at the window, a drink clenched in her fists and a dark frown on her face. Down below her, the man and the-girl-were walking close together, the man's face pale from the layers of sunscreen that he had plastered on. He was swathed from head to toe in clothes, as if he was trying to avoid being touched by the murky sunlight.

Julia tossed back her scotch, growling in exasperation. She had been the one to cure Barnabas Collins of his affliction! She was the one that had been stuck in this haunted house for years, ever since she came to treat David Collins. She was practically part of the family, and now this cheeky upstart had not only started to muscle in on the rapport she had with the youngest Collins, but Barnabas was also fascinated by her.

Julia crossed to the liquor cabinet, pulling out the bottle of scotch and pouring herself three generous fingers before returning to the window to gaze balefully at the two people on the beach. 'Damn that girl. I've done everything I can to get Barnabas to notice me, and he ends up making eyes at that pathetic little orphan.'

Her only consolation was that maybe Barnabas' cure wouldn't take and he'd end up draining the little bint dry.

With that happy thought, she staggered off to bed.
