... What? I loved my Kult character. Ex-demon hunting soccer mom of awesome. Just a drabble for her. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Julia stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand next to the bed. The red numbers flickered, changing from 4:56 to 4:57. That small change was the only reason she knew she was still alive. Not dreaming; not asleep; just wide awake before dawn and unable to block out all the distractions.
Life wasn’t supposed to be complicated anymore. At least, that’s what her husband always said. Silly bastard never knew just how complicated it was when he came into the picture. And he certainly knew nothing of how complicated life was now as a mother and wife.
Julia Delainey Myers, once Julia Delainey Moloney, could not place when she had decided to walk such a strange path. The whole mother/wife thing, that is. Her path before it all was far from strange. It was a bit odd maybe, but familiar to her nevertheless. Hunting demons and performing rituals looked like a cakewalk next to raising two children and maintaining a household. No wonder she barely slept anymore. Demons haunted her dreams, but life itself was a nightmare she feared above all. The only time she had to live without the nightmare was when she should have been sleeping.
The red numbers shifted again from 4:57 to 4:58. In two minutes the alarm would go off and another day would start in the Myers household. Julia closed her eyes and waited for the nightmare to begin.
