Introductions
I should begin by saying that I am fully aware that I am a fictional character in someone's story. I'm unsure if I like this fact, but it is fact. I, Julia C. Winter, have been created for readers' amusement. That is 'first things first' and all that jazz.
Next, you may be curious who I am. Are you? I can assure you that it's perfectly alright if you aren't in the least bit bothered. Many humans aren't very interested in their fellows. Except, of course, if they are of importance in their lives somehow. Who am I to you? Absolutely nothing but some weirdly self-aware character.
In case you are interested, it's really quite simple. I am 25 years old and living at home with my family. I am an ebony with green eyes and of quite a petite build to the point that friends have said about 'snapping me' if they aren't careful. Believe me. Nobody needs to be careful. I'm fine. Though, I do have a tendency to move about in high excitement so maybe you ought to be careful? I have been known to whack people by accident.... not the murder-kind, you understand. Nobody actually gets any kind of hurt. They just laugh.
My creator put me on paper for a reason. I'm not yet sure exactly of this reason. But, I reckon that that's something I may have in common with readers. Wondering why I was designed and if there is a purpose for my being here. Maybe the end of the story will tell me? I haven't really got to the end of a story yet. At least, not one of mine... have I, Claudine?
"No, you haven't, Julia."
Alright then, I haven't. Friends have, though, I think? Maybe? Have the Samuels Sisters got their ending yet?
"No, but it's coming."
Interesting, okay. Well I look forward to it, I think. Or is it that you look forward to the third novella and, because I am created by you, it's your enthusiasm I project?
"A bit of both. You are still you, even though I am your creator."
Cool, okay. So maybe I'm more autonomous than I thought. But, still, I really would like to see everyone in the 'Magic, Mayhem, Mischief and Love' trilogy happy. People deserve happiness. Characters, as well.
I don't think I'm all that happy yet.
But, maybe my story is to get me there?
Okay, well that's introductions out of the way. You know me and you know Claudine, my creator.
On to the next part, yes?
