The harsh kick to Kevin’s side made her blood run cold, as the other bullies that kept him down pushed his face against the cement. She’d... she’d never seen Kevin hurt so badly before, bloodied and clothes ripped at his knees. “Stop hurting him!”  Her heart was racing as she yelled out at no one in particular, just anything she could do to get the violence to her friend to end.<br/><br/>Her breath felt so heavy in her chest, panting out restlessly as her eyes turned towards the one that had started all of this.<br/><br/>Reckley. He was the one doing all of this, brought this on them. For no reason, other than being jealous...<br/><br/>A wince came from the young girl as her gaze turned to the ground beneath her, her head pounding. Why was it hurting so much now? She tried to focus, but everything was so blurry, even as she tried her best to focus. Focus on something, focus on what was happening...<br/><br/>Kevin was hurt. He was getting beaten badly, he was bleeding. The caress of her cheek from Reckley made her pull away, like fire burning at her skin. He wasn’t anyone she’d want to be with; he was jealous, cruel, a liar.<br/><br/>She didn’t want<em>his</em>touch.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">“Stop!”</span><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Stop this.</span></div><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">“Please Stop...”</span></div><br/><div align="center">End it.</div><br/>”S-stop.”<br/><br/><div align="center">End it.</div><br/>“End...”<br/><br/><div align="center">End them.</div><br/><div style="text-align: right;"> “...end... end them.”</div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">End.</span></div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">End.</span></div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">End. </span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 19pt;">End.</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 25pt;">End</span></div><br/><div align="center"> <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“The end.”</span></div><br/><div align="center">(https://imgur.com/download/KDuTV98/)</div><br/>The struggling and resistance ended suddenly, as Mallory’s body went limp, causing the bully restraining her to buckle slightly. “Hey no fainting on us-” His words cutoff suddenly however, when he gave a quizzical look, suddenly getting Reckley’s attention. “Hey, what the hell-” It was a scene where you’d blink and you’d miss it, as a pulse was felt in the air. It was thick and heavy, as if pressure was pushing down on your entire body all at once. A purple energy crackled through the air, before a sudden burst came forth, enveloping the group.<br/><br/>It was quick, barely anything, and yet the damage had been clear. Noticeable cracks reflected in the glass windows from the buildings behind them, as the bullies, including Reckley, had been pushed back a handful of feet. Far off from where they once stood, there was a noticeable distance between them and the two friends, as Mallory’s body lay against the concrete near Kevin.
