Hey, as requested. This one is for you. <3 Thanks a lot for the comment. :D
================================================
Third Person's P.O.V
As they enter the court room, Julia held tightly on DJ's arm. The day passed by in a flash, and now they stood in a court room with pairs of eyes boring into her.
"Hey," DJ whispered beside her. "I'll be fine."
Julia gave his arm a squeeze to tell him she's alright, although of course she isn't.
She sat nervously on her designated sit and turned her gaze on the door which is used by the accused. She shifted on her seat as she waited for the doors to open.The doors opened and some uniformed officers came in, and not a moment later, the man who caused her a hell lot of pain, despair and anguish walked in with the escort police. Paul Martin. It has been three since since the last time they saw each other, but it seems like it was only yesterday when he ruined her life. When - it pained her even more to remember - he killed AJ.
She wanted to cry, but when she saw the sickening smirk playing on the devil's lips, she shuddered. The demotic idiot was looking at him! F*ck the damn bitch is looking at her! She wanted so bad to steal the gun on Daniel's jeans and shoot the f*cking demon right in the middle of his chest. Straight to his heart - if he even had one -.
"Hey. Hey Julia. Be strong don't let him get to you." Daniel once again whispered.
Just then she realised that she was shaking and her face gave away all of her emotions.
"Princess, how I missed that beautiful face of yours." Paul Martin whispered as he passed by their sits.
"F*ck you! I'll make sure you'll rot in hell. Where you belong!" Julia hissed as she slapped him hard on his face.
Policemen quickly came into action and one of the authorities told both parties to calm down. Hell they will. The whole damn court is filled with people who wanted the f*cking man who was sitting on the accused chair to die! They did not want him to just sit his lazy ass on a metal bed, they want him to die! It' the only thing that could pay off all his depths. All the lives he had cost.
Paul Martin is not just a criminal. Not just an enemy. He was Satan's brother - if not Satan himself - walking on Earth. He could have an heart attack right then and there and no one will give a damn about what will happen to him. Actually, they would gladly watch him lose the life, which caused so much death, be taken from him.
"All rise." A woman spoke at the middle of the room.
They all stood as the judge walked in.
They went on with the trial, calling witness after witness. And finally, Julia was called to the stand.
"State your full name for the record."
"Julia Agatha Hautea Schnittka." She said, he voice threatening to break.
"And what are you in this case?"
"A-- A victim." She felt so vulnerable and exposed but she pushed it off. " Also, the star witness."
"What do you remember about the case?"
Julia could not speak. She know, somehow, that they will ask this question. But no matter how many times she tries to narrate her hell experience with the demon, she just couldn't. It still hurt to remember everything. To go back to her nightmare.
"Miss Schnittka?" The Prosecutor called.
"Ah. Yes," Julia took a deep breath and - not for the first time this morning- silently prayed. "AJ and I were walking down the dark alley when his group blocked us..." she continued to state what she can remember - everything of course. It was never easy to forget - as much as it hurt her.
"The investigator said they found your fingerprints on Mr. Perez's body." Paul's highly paid attorney say as he was called by the jury.
Julia's head snapped at his direction.
"What are you suggesting?!"
"Well, is it not possible that you yourself killed him?" The attorney asked coldly.
"THAT IS ABSURD! HOW COULD YOU?! I WATCHED HIM DIE! YOUR FUCKING CLIENT SHOOT AJ HIMSELF!" Julia was furious ans is about to lose her temper.
"Objection your honor!" Julia's Attorney, Mrs. Herrera shouted.
The Judge nodded and told PAul's attorney to move on with the next question.
The trial lasted for four hours and ended with a decision the people wanted to hear. Paul Martin was sentenced for life imprisonment. (Maybe not exactly what they wanted to hear, but the death penalty was removed on Philippines' courts.)
"Paul Martin should be hung! He deserve to die!!" The people insisted, but they were told to keep quiet or they will all be sued.
"I told you It'll be fine."
Julia hugged DJ as once again she was able to breath.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Paul Martin sneered next to them. "What is mine is mine alone Princess. "
"F*ck you." was the only thing Julia said as she turn around and got out of the court room.
DJ pulled her closer as they walked out of the car. Julia was glad that Daniel was there by her side the whole trial. He was surely one of her strengths.

"Juls!" Kathryn jumped off her sit as she saw her sister emerge from the front door.
Kathryn wasn't allowed to go with them for security purposes. And the trial wasn't televised either so she has no clue of what happened. But the relaxed expression on Julia's faced hinted that they are out of danger.
"It's over!" Julia chirped as she hugged her.
"Thought so, now you can live your life with our worrying about him." Kathryn smiled.
DJ shifted uncontrollably beside them which caused Quen, Julia ad Kath to look at him.
"Don't mind me. Just tired."
"Well them, come on! Let's have dinner before we all go and rest." The first lady say as she walked through the doors. Julia's mother and Father were both there at the trial of course! But it was just then that her mother was able to talk as she too was still shocked.
