Love & Hate
Selene immediately glares at him. There are just some things that can, and will, set her off like a rocket. Being spoken down to isn't usually one, but he's not a figure of authority like a teacher. So it should be okay right? Not. She quickly stutters out an apology like the weak willed person she is, and then stumbles to her feet. It's gone just like a click of the fingers. Those strange feelings are gone. She gasps quietly and stands up straight. The way she came… No, it couldn't be. Could it? That was impossible though. They're dead already! She whimpers and touches her temple to try and placate her raging thoughts and ease her tired mind. However, the skin there burns with a heat she definitely wasn't expecting. She pulls her hands away, startled. That wasn't normal. She stares down at her shaking hands for a moment. Her mind is screaming for her to run. To do something, anything! Her body though has gone into lockdown. So she's going to have to face down whatever is coming. Her heart is pounding against her rib cage so hard that she can practically feel it breaking its way through. Somehow the pain isn't there and she's, in a sense, completely free.
"What do you want?" Jack mutters, slightly annoyed.
Her eyes flash over to him portraying shock. She really didn't understand at all. No, she understood what he said perfectly. Why would he assume she wanted something from him though? Immediately her hands clasp in front of her and she looks him in the eye. It's almost a shock to him though. He recognises that particular stance. The day he was accidently, along with everyone else, led on a wild goose chase and got lost in a museum. Portraits had women in that stance, but those particular portraits were hundreds of years old. Why would anyone be so stupid to actually want to be like them in any way?
"Why would you presume I wanted something?" she asks timidly, stuttering momentarily.
"You're staring at me," he states. Not too pleased by the sound of it.
Selene quickly looks away and murmurs a softly spoken apology. Tears threaten to prick at her eyes for some reason. She turns to walk away, but something stops her in her tracks. She looks up and to her left, at the giant television situated on the side of the skyscraper. There's that feeling in her gut that something isn't right again. She wants to leave, to go somewhere better. She wants to be anywhere but where she is, but she can't. Her breath catches in her throat and panic takes over. Without realising it, she whispers move. Such a small, insignificant word. No one would pay attention to it, or even bother to listen. Of course, no one did hear it to pay attention.
Except for one person. Someone heard that one little word. It was Jack, but he already thought she was weird. Then, with a great crack! the screen falls from its place. He looks over at Selene, but she's already running. Running away in panic and fright. She doesn't want to watch that. She's scared, and that makes her so very much irrational. So much so, that she doesn't notice what she's heading towards. If only she had seen before…
