Skyla stayed on the ground, frozen still as her eyes followed Aurelia's each movement. Her fingers shook when she saw Aurelia appear beside Julie. She bit her lips to stifle her gasp when she heard a loud crack reverberate inside the room accompanied with Julie's painful screech.
Immediately Skyla covered her ears as she closed her eyes shut, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. She didn't know what she had to do or wanted to do but she could still vaguely hear the mocking as well as sounds of someone kicking the other.
Lifting her eyes slowly, she saw Julie curving her body into a ball while her face was contorted in pain. Her hands fell limply to her lap as she stared with unshed tears.
Suddenly, she met with Julie's gaze across the room for a brief moment and felt thunder-struck. Even after all those cruel hits, Julie had a smile resting on her lips as she gazed at Skyla. As if telling her that she was okay even though Aurelia was kicking her stomach hard.
