Blurred Emotions

He didn't really acknowledge me after that moment. He glared at Cienna for a few moments, and she curled into herself as he remained staring at her. His mouth parted slightly and he licked his lips before a sneer overtook his face.

"I had a little chat with James the other day," he barked at her. She jumped back in shock, but we saw an array of emotions passing through her face. Somewhere in blurred series of emotions, I saw realization, then guilt and finally... fear.

Her eyes widened and she jumped out of the bed and tried to run out. I, on instinct, threw myself at her and pinned her to the ground to restrain her. She fidgeted in my hold and tried to kick me off her in vain. With my arm securely holding her hands to her back, I bunched her hair in my fist and pulled her head back. Her breath left her body and she whimpered as I yanked her back further cutting off her air supply.
