As the words spilled out of her mouth, there was a loud snap that was loud enough to hurt her ears and a flash of light so bright that she was seeing spots for the next few seconds.  Cyn pressed her hand to her chest and doubled over as a searing pain spread through her.  She didn't notice the branches around her flair but she smelled the smoke and as she raised back up her eyes locked with his as he strode to her.  She felt something cool around her neck and raised her hand to feel a band circling it.  Then he was upon her, sliding his arms around her and pulling her into him.  Her small hands grasp his upper arms as he pulled her nearer and she raised her eyes to his.  Her pulse quickened as she stood there pressed against him, her body warring with itself, part of her desperately wanted him to kiss her and the other part was screaming that she hated him.
