It's why I think the Weiss we saw was just Emerald's semblance. Think about it, we go from Vernal breaking her aura and her screaming in pain, to her suddenly on the floor and Vernal missing. And seeing as Emerald wasn't preoccupied when this happened, and had been watching Cinder do it, she may have done so. Looking back at the scene, Emerald's irises do shrink for a second, but her eyes then narrow. Why would they narrow? Narrowing eyes in media tend to either denote anger, concentration, or suspicion. I doubt she would be angry at Weiss being killed, and what would she be suspicious about?
