I shuck my head whilst once again attempting to rid my hand of the weapon. My attempts failed miserably.
"No" I spoke
Achilles face remained stiff and unreadable as he gazed down at me.
"Please..." I begged
"Pull the trigger" he repeated the order
"I won't... I won't do it" I yelled
I locked my eyes with his, pleading with him silently. I couldn't fathom how he could expect such a thing off me.
His eyes scanned over my face slowly before narrowing slightly with thought. His grip on my hands loosened slightly and I took my chance to release the weapon.
I eagerly staggered back away from him as if he was a flame that was burning me.
"Why would you..." I began
I couldn't understand what was happening as I watched him raise his hand and place the gun against his head all whist keeping his eyes locked to mine.
"Achilles" I whispered
Unlike my shaking body, he was still as a statue.
"No, put it down! Stop it!" I screamed at him
My heart momentarily stopped when I seen his finger move and press the trigger.
"No!" I screamed once again as tears streamed down my cheeks.
He didn't flinch when the gun clicked beside his head, neither did he fall to the floor or even loose a single drop of blood.
Instead a smirk made its way to his face as he allowed his hand to lower before dropping the gun carelessly back in to an open drawer.
"It was empty" he spoke casually
Still attempting to calm my breathing, I watched as he stepped towards me and stopped just a few centimetres away.
"You're crazy, a fucking psychopath!" I seethed
I wanted to wipe the smug look off his face.
His thumb founds its way to my cheek and ever so gently wiped away the fallen tears. I remained frozen still trying to understand what I had just witnessed.
"You could've killed yourself" I spoke
"It was empty, its important not to give a loaded weapon to an enemy and its even more important to know who you're enemies are darling"
"so you see me as an enemy?"
"You didn't pull the trigger"
I felt sick knowing it was all some twisted test to know whether I could be trusted or not. It was pretty clear that he was insane.
