With a sigh, she blew her cigarette smoke into the dark and cold night over the Ormond Resort. They had actually done it. The blood was still on her hands, but it had cooled down by now. The blonde hadn't had time to wipe it off. After all, they had to make the body disappear quickly.
Actually, she had been against burying the body up here at the abandoned resort... It was pretty stupid, to be honest. Up here was the place the Legion hung out at day and night, they certainly had left their mark on the area. But she had given up arguing with Frank, who was digging out a grave with Joey's help.
Distantly, Susie sniffled, sitting on a tree stump at the edge of the cone of light, cast on their surroundings by the flashlight lying on the ground. One could definitely tell that the pink-haired girl would never have plunged a knife into the clerk's chest had Frank not forced her to do so. Very different from Julie. The blonde was still quivering with excitement. This was what she had wanted for so long: something really exciting. Something that would get her out of this hole of monotony, at least mentally.
She herself was a bit shocked by how little remorse she felt. She hadn't cared about this man's life; she was aware that he probably had family, or anyone who would care about him, and yet she couldn't bring herself to regret what she had done. She didn't even really fear the consequences. She knew it would go down like it did with everything... The vandalism, the bullying, the theft. She could hear her father's voice already echoing in her mind: "My Julie would never do anything like that!" What he failed to realize was that she wasn't 'his Julie' anymore, if she ever had been.
'His Julie' was her mask. The lovely, beautiful, well-behaved daughter who would eventually take over the family business and live with a rich man in a big house in Ormond, just as her mother had done.
However, Julie had never planned to stay here. Ormond was too small for her; she knew every nook, every cranny. Nothing new happened. Day in and day out, the same thing. She had grown lethargic and tired of this routine. She was numb, all feelings were just a facade. Sometimes she wasn't even sure if she could feel anything real anymore.
But then she found it, her ticket out of here. A smile came to her lips as she watched Frank wipe the sweat from his brow and discuss with Joey whether the grave was deep enough. After they buried the body, Julie would pitch her friends the idea of getting out of here once and for all. Then they could explore the world... Maybe even fly all the way to Europe, committing more and more crimes along the way. Maybe they would even become the most famous serial killers in the world... No matter what was to come, this was just the beginning.
-"Hey Jules, look."
Julie had been so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed Frank climb out of the hole and walk deeper into the woods. She nervously tapped the outside of her thigh with her fingers. It really wasn't the right time to be distracted by anything, yet she followed the leader a few steps.
"Frank, I have no idea what's that interesting to you, but shouldn't we first-"
She faltered as she suddenly lost sight of Frank's gray hood. Somewhat panicked, she looked around. He had been here a moment ago, hadn't he?
- "Frank?! Where are you?! I swear, if this is a stupid prank, I'll kill you!"
Julie didn't get an answer, instead she saw dark mist spreading to her feet and filling the whole wooded area. "What the fuck?" She muttered in wonder before losing consciousness. She had no idea that she was now trapped in her big dream and biggest nightmare at the same time.
Headcanons.
Julie was born and raised in Ormond by a wealthy family.
During her childhood she was very sheltered and also somewhat spoiled by her parents, which is why she didn't learn to appreciate the little things in her later life
Her family was quite wealthy and had a lot of influence over the community of Ormond, which would later help the Legion cover up their crimes
Julie always had good grades in her school years and was described by others as smart
Julie also developed good leadership skills and often took the lead in group activities
In school, she was very popular with her classmates because of her confidence and extroverted nature and therefore had a lot of friends.
However, her best friend was still Susie, whom she had known since preschool
In her teenage years, Julie began to feel more and more bored at Ormond. Activities with her friend group were no longer fun and her parties were not as exciting as they used to be
During that time Julie discovered her affinity for serial killers and spent days and weeks learning all kinds of details about various murder cases
At first she was only interested in the psychology behind the killers, but soon she began to identify with some of them
However, she hid her dark thoughts well from her parents and the people at school, the only one she told was Susie
Despite her fantasies, she was very sure for a long time that she would never commit a murder herself
When the Legion formed, Julie was mostly immediately in favor of any activities Frank suggested. She just wanted some variety and had hopes that they would eventually escape together.
She herself also had a lot of ideas for the group, which she contributed regularly, but never wanted to play the leader herself, in order to have less responsibility and not have to get her own hands dirty.
After they committed the murder and entered the Entity realm, Julie was initially fascinated and excited by this new world
The trials and the killing gave her joy and she finally got the adrenaline rush she had been hoping for for a long time
However, this joy flattened out over time as Julie found herself trapped in a repetitive routine once again
Once that high from all the killing had worn off, Julie finally realized what actually had happened
She still didn't regret committing the murders, but she realized that her best friend was struggling with the guilt and that it had been wrong to involve her in all of this.
At the same time, she questioned her relationship with Frank and wondered if she really loved him or if she just loved the prospect of getting out of Ormond.
Eventually she breaks up with him because of their different views on the way the situation turned out
In general, she sometimes finds herself wishing she was back in Ormond
