“Ashleigh…” Penelope whispered, quickly wiping her eyes. She got to her feet as best she could, but the injury to her leg was still tender.
“What did you do, Penelope?” Ashleigh growled, moving closer.
Penelope’s breath caught in her throat, she tried to swallow down the nerves and respond, but her voice was gone.
Ashleigh closed the distance between them and rushed the other woman to the wall, pushing the remaining air out of her chest.
Penelope gasped for air.
“What did you do!” Ashleigh snarled angrily, her eyes glowing brightly.
“Nothing!” Penelope shouted back. “I did nothing!”
Ashleigh growled, unsatisfied with the answer.
“He was all alone!” Penelope continued, tears streaming down her face in a torrent of fear and anguish. “I should have kept a better eye on the field, I should have been looking up instead of looking at him!”
She sobbed uncontrollably.
