"One thing that I believe wholeheartedly is that cruelty breeds cruelty, and we must meet it with equal or greater force. There are some who can't be reasoned with, so they must be eliminated. Sometimes problems require a ruthless solution, not sympathy."
"I want you silenced... permanently." my voice was low and menacing.
She just sat there, staring at me with a blank expression. She didn't even flinch or show any signs of fear. It was as if she had heard this threat from me many times before. I stared back at her with a fierce glare, willing her to back down, but she didn't even flinch. Her expression was emotionless, her eyes were unmoving.
My threat was serious, and she didn't even blink. It was suspicious. She wasn't just a regular citizen. Her lack of fear and her calm demeanor made me believe she might be someone more sinister than I realized. Her chances of being a spy are high.
"So you want me silenced, huh?" She responded calmly.
I made it clear that I meant business.
I stare at her with a cold, intense gaze, daring her to say anything as I try to intimidate her into silence. I want her silenced, permanently. Her cold, emotionless stare is unnerving. I keep watching her, waiting for her to react, but she doesn't seem to care.
I can't help but wonder what she's thinking.
"And you think I'm worth going to all this trouble? What is it that you have against me?" She responded in a steady manner yet had a hint of a pretentious cordial tone.
"You came close to a secret that was never meant for you to see, hear and touch." I responded calmly.
As our gazes lock into each other's eyes, the tension in the room thickens. The silence is deafening, as we stare at each other with a cold and unflinching glare. Neither of us is willing to back down, each unwilling to yield to the other's demands. There is a palpable sense of danger in the air, as the threat of violence lingers between us.
As the situation came to a stalemate, I took the opportunity to study her more closely. I glanced at her facial features.
I notice that she has a delicate and subtle beauty, the softness of her skin, the gentle curve of her nose and the elegance of her cheekbones. The gentle curve of her lips is like that of a rose petal, akin to that of a flower. Her raven-black hair drapes around a pale, smooth face, contrasting sharply with the dark intensity of her stormy eyes. Her hazel eyes are like a clear green pool, yet they hold a certain hardness that belies her fragile beauty.
They stare at me without a hint of hesitation, daring me to try something.
The contrast between her beauty and her cold, unyielding stare is striking. It is as if there are two sides to her, the beauty and the danger. Neither is easily overlooked.
She bears a resemblance to a flower trapped in a labyrinth of thorns.
I can't help but wonder if this beauty is simply a facade to disguise a deadly threat. It doesn't matter. Even those I deem a threat can hold beauty and grace. It is a shame that this threat must be silenced.
"You are a nuisance," I said in a low and cold manner with a tone of detached emotion, "You will become a problem and I have no time for problems. I don't want to make a spectacle of killing you, so it will be done quietly and discreetly. I will take care of it."
""I am confused. What secret? I don't recall anything regarding that." She responded with an innocent tone.
I was taken aback by her reply. I wasn't sure whether she was being genuine or just trying to throw me off guard. I remained silent for a moment to process her words, weighing my options.
Should I try to play her game, or should I ignore her?
I noticed how she took a deep breath, as if to calm herself down. It was a subtle gesture, yet I couldn't help but notice it.
"Are you suggesting that I know something that I am not supposed to? I assure you, I was unaware of such a secret." She retorted with mockery.
I notice her calm and composed demeanor. It was as if she was unaffected by the tension or my threats. It frustrated me that I couldn't seem to intimidate her or get a reaction out of her. Maybe she was just playing it cool, or maybe she was legitimately unaffected.
I decided to stay firm in my decision. I stood up from my seat and took a step towards her. The tension between us was so thick and heavy, I could feel it pulsing in the air.
I maintained my uncompromising stare, keeping it fixed on her with a cold, unwavering gaze.
I stood up from my seat and took a step towards her. I took a firm, decisive step, like the predator I was. The tension was palpable, and the atmosphere was heavy with danger.
As I approached her, my height and size made me appear even more intimidating in this dim lighting. I stood tall and menacing, my tall frame casting a shadow over her vulnerable figure. I stood close to her, almost within arms reach, and I looked down on her imposingly. I wanted her to feel small and helpless, my presence dominating her and forcing her to comply.
However, she remained calm, showing no signs of fear or apprehension.
In fact, she almost seemed to be taunting me. I couldn't help but be both curious and fascinated by her stoicism. I wanted to see how far it could go and where her strength of character would carry her.
I found myself debating whether I should respect or condemn her for her composure. She wasn't easily intimidated, and her calm but defiant demeanor intrigued me. I was curious to see how far she could push it.
As I stood in front of her and I gazed down at her, I noticed how she took in every detail of my features under the dim lighting. Her gaze was sharp, taking in every nuance of my face. I couldn't help but be captivated by her intense gaze. I could see the spark of fascination in her eyes, and it piqued my curiosity.
Her genuine interest in my features intrigued me, as I wondered what was going through her mind. I wanted to know what she was thinking. I found myself getting drawn in. I couldn't decide whether I should stare back or avert my gaze.
I felt a sense of curiosity and fascination, yet there was also an element of uneasiness.
Afterward, that moment, I heard her call out to me with a familiar sounding word. My curiosity and confusion rose.
"Snow White?" She called out as if she finally recognized me.
I looked at her, puzzled by the term.
I was taken aback by being called 'Snow White'. It was a strange and unexpected turn of events. I felt a mixture of feelings, from confusion to amused disbelief. It was odd and absurd.
I didn't understand why she'd called me that, and I had no idea how to react to being called a fictional character, who was typically used to describe a fair-skinned, pure, and innocent young woman. For a moment, I thought I had misheard her.
Is she damn serious?
This is embarrassing.
I averted my gaze for a moment, trying to process the absurdity of the situation. But then I looked back at her and noticed that her expression had softened. It didn't have that cold, detached emotion which results in an intimidating stare anymore.
Maybe it was the sudden shift in her expression, or maybe it was the unexpected tenderness in her gaze. It was as if all the hardness and coldness from before had suddenly melted. She was looking at me with a look of familiarity and even warmth.
This caught me off guard, and I felt a mix of emotions. I wasn't sure what to make of it...
