Amidst the stares, Skyla took a step back hesitantly while her mind swirled for ways to escape this place. Unfortunately for her, the crowd surrounded her leaving no means to escape.
She whipped her head towards Aurelia who was standing in front of the crowd, looking at her with a stunned expression. Her mind screamed to run when she saw Aurelia's expression alter from stunned to cold.
But to her surprise, she heard Aurelia exclaim loudly, "Oh no! That was one of my favourite gifts"
Instantly the crowd shuffled as discussions arose as they simultaneously shifted their eyes from Skyla to Aurelia in amazement.
Skyla raised her eyebrows in confusion but soon saw Aurelia wink at her.
'Is she….helping me?' Skyla thought ridiculously.
