250 A Liar

      "I-I'm sorry," Delaney managed to get out of her mouth before her husband grabbed her around the waist and yanked her down from the half-unicorn.

      He looked her up and down with worried eyes.  "Are you alright?  You're not hurt?"

      "N-No.  I'm fine.  I'm sorry I worried you."

  Finally satisfied that she was fine, he let his anger take over him.

      "What the hell were you thinking?" Vincent shouted, gripping her upper arms so tight now she wouldn't have been surprised if bruises were left behind.

      Looking at the rage in his eyes Delaney felt suddenly afraid.  She didn't know if she had ever seen him this angry before.  His scars were bloody red and his eyes were nearly black.  He loomed over her with the shadows playing over his features making him appear monstrous.

      "I-I just wanted to go see Nell and the fairies.  I-I thought maybe she would be able to h-help me."
