Chapter 196: Footing on the calm ground

Julie felt a sudden gust of air surrounding her. No matter how much she tried to keep her footing on the ground to stand, the place she was in right now was completely dark, making it hard for her to see anything. 

"Mel!" She called her friend's name, "Are you there?" At the no response, Julie turned slightly worried. 

She failed, her hands around her, and then she finally heard Melanie's voice, "Julie?!" 

"I am here! Where are you?!" asked Julie, and before either of them knew it, both of them were thrown on the ground. 

Both the girls winced because of the impact of force in which their bodies were dropped. Julie brought her hand in front of her eyes because the surrounding had suddenly turned bright, and it was no darker. 

"Ouch! I think I hurt my back," said Melanie, who sat on the ground without moving from her spot. "I think something is stuck in my back."
