Woah! Chill, man!

BANG!

Time stopped, emotions rode in a roller coaster ride in a rapid motion. Everyone's muscle stiffened, restraining everyone to move an inch. 

Lexi's shut eyes slowly opened, her gaze moved up in a snail pace at the shadow shading her. As soon as Lexi met those relieved pair of argent eyes, tears fell from the corner of her eyes. 

"Thank God... you're safe." Soft and relief, Churu smiled seeing that she blocked the bullet in time. The next second, a writhing pain as the bullet that penetrated her flesh electrified her nerves. 

"Churu!" Lexi shouted as Churu crashed to the floor. Crawling towards her, Lexi's trembling hands held of Churu's frail body. 

Blood tainted Lexi's hand as crimson red liquid gushed out from Churu's back. "No, no, please Churu!" Sobbing her heart out, Lexi's whole body trembled.
