There was silence and a faint dim light from some candles in the castle. You were hiding in the shadows, knife in hand ready to attack from the back of your opponent who held a gun, until he spoke.
"Sneaky as usual, but not enough"
He turns around looking directly at you, his gun pointing to your heart not missing the teasing tone or the smirk on his face, he certainly knew all your plan and came here just to have you face to face. And you knew that if he wanted he wouldn't miss. The candles flame flickered like this wasn't approved.
But how all this started? Some years ago, you got in his mission so he tried to eliminate him (and failed), since then he's been getting on your nerves every single time you two meet wich is unusually often, however you got tired and decided to finally give an end to this, thinking for various days of all the many ways to kill him ending up in the conclusion that you needed to see his dead body to believe it. And maybe, maybe you'll miss the back and forth.
So now you were in front of him unable to attack because that would also mean your death. He was just playing around about your life too, like he had fun if he didn't guessed the moment of your actual death, he was rather amused by the idea.
