Ellen barely has a second to process what's happening before she feels herself being pressed back, Matt's body bearing her down against the bed, and for a second she's almost tempted to laugh out of confusion and surprise. She hears the hiss of pain through gritted teeth against her ear, and then the order to stay down. Flat on her back, she can only glance through the gap between his arm and his side to see the man that fills the doorway, and she gasps.
She knows she'll have to move when Matt does, and when that moment comes, she scrambles backwards and off over to the floor on the other side of the bed, taking cover there between the mattress and the nightstand.
All she can do is watch, helpless, fingers curling into anxious fists as her heart beats in triple time.
