True Darkness? (edited)

As Marionette's left hand clutched Lillian's throat, she stretched her right hand out to the side, summoning a dagger of darkness that ominously stared at the dangling Lillian.

"Was it your plan to get close to me, trapping me in here and possibly ending me?" Marionette's eyes narrowed on Lillian.

'She's getting paranoid!' Lillian grimaced, and with a strained voice, she said: 

"H-hold on! W-we got a big misunderstanding here! I didn't have any ulterior motives like that!" (4)

"... Then tell me why you had that eye. Are you in cahoots with the Cult of Jesters?"

Marionette's hand tightened around Lillian's neck, causing her to claw at it unconsciously. (3)

"Look! I just had it! I didn't even mean for it to exit my spacial ring. I wouldn't even have let it out! You have to believe me!" She begged in a stifled voice. (2)

Marionette's brows furrowed.
