Isaura
"Unhand me, Tobias." ~ Struggling to steady her voice, she finds her cheek muscles somehow twitching against her will ~ There's going to be a scene, Isaura. Don't you back out now!
Tobias
"You..." ~ His haunted eyes continue to stare right through her in horrid fascination ~ "You remember me..." ~ For you, I have sunk so low! And now you treat me like filth, just as the others have... damn it, woman, I'll not have you of all people do that! ~ Eyes flashing with renewed deadly light ~ "I see you're still as glowing as ever, Isaura." ~ Pronouncing the name slowly, painstakingly ~ "How is life treating you?"
Isaura
"Better than it has treated you, I suspect." ~ Feeling her heartbeat racing in the eerie silence ~ Or am I imagining it? I seem to hear some snickering in the background... ~ "Let go of me."
Tobias
"And why should I?" ~ There is no mistaking the sneer in his voice, yet, momentary anguish flickers in his eyes ~ "No, my dear, Fate has brought us together again and for that, I shall not let you go... at least, until you say 'please'." ~ His jaws set firmly, he grimaces as he hears the jeered whispers surrounding them.
