Threatening Sentences, Vol. 3

(Sentences from various sources for threats to and from a muse. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"If I were you, I'd keep me alive."

"Someday soon, somebody's going to step on your scrawny little neck!"

"I don't need to kill anyone to bury them."

"You are about to make a huge mistake."

"Look, I'm not going to bullshit you, okay? I don't really give a fuck what you know or don't know, but I'm going torture you anyway."

"How close to death do you want to get?"

"Do you really think this is going to end well for anyone?"

"You're not scared?"

"I'll warn you now; if this is a trick, I will kill you."

"Is that a threat? Are you threatening me?"

"If you hurt her, I will kill you!"

"I am a tolerant man, but my patience has its limits."

"Not many men last long in these parts. How long do you expect to last?"

"If you shoot me, you won't see a cent of that money."

"Trouble? You don't know what trouble is."

"Here's how this works: I ask the questions, and you answer the questions that I ask."

"I am done being afraid. It's your turn now."

"I'm going to give you a moment to reconsider that answer, because if you're for some reason mistaken, I will find out, and that will not be good for you."

"Keep talking. You're about five seconds away from the most humiliating moment of your life."

"I believe I've tolerated your presence long enough."

"I will saw your head open and eat your brains if you fuck me over."

"You can have answers, or you can live. Your choice."

"Sooner or later, you'll talk. It's just a matter of time."

"Do exactly what I say. Exactly. Don't move unless I say. Don't make a sound unless I say. Do you understand?"

"Where I come from, it's rude to point a gun at a man."

"The thing is, I know who you are. More accurately, I know who you aren't."

"Remember, this never happened. I was never here."

"You think I'm playing with you? I will break your fucking neck!"

"That's a very nice suit. It would be a shame to ruin it."

"If you ever break into my apartment again, I'll stab you in the eye."

"Please don't scream. It's tedious, and no one can hear you."

"Every instinct I have says to grind you into a pulp."

"Do not play games with me."

"I'm going to count to three. There will not be a four."

"It's a bad idea to get into a power play with somebody who holds the power."

"If you shut up, maybe I won't put a bullet in you!"

“the intimacy of smiling against each other’s lips.”

[monsterfngs]

@pierprincess : The thought then dawns on Star that, perhaps, this is something Adam won’t find endearing, the small gold charm nestled in her closed hand. A dove, or a raven, or some kind of bird, the edges of it tarnished and worn, but she had thought it was pretty, and in a way reminded her of the blond; tarnished on the outside and edges, but needed to be cleaned up. Carefully, she steps past a sleeping Eve, climbing up onto bed with a shy look on her face, eyes downcast. “ You can laugh at this if you want to, but when I was out tonight I found this near the entrance road, ” she begins, before opening her hand, sure that if she could have flushed, her face would have been red. “ I used to make jewelry in high school, and sometimes when I was a runaway, so I’d always find broken pieces here and there,” Star explains, leaving out details about the Lost Boys. “I think I’m more of a crow than a vampire, actually. ” random inbox starters / always accepting.

"I'M NOT SURE I CAN TRUST YOU" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

you remember the last time we did this. it didn't go well.

i told myself i'd never trust you again.

you're not very good at keeping promises, are you?

i thought we agreed to work together.

you're the reason i'm in this mess in the first place.

the last time i listened to you, it nearly got me killed.

i guess i don't have a choice.

you're my last hope.

this isn't going to end well.

i stuck out my neck for you once, and look what happened.

you could have told me the truth from the start.

you're a pretty slimy character.

you don't exactly exude trustworthiness.

i can't believe i'm listening to you again.

after everything that happened, i can't look at you the same.

you betrayed me.

how am i supposed to trust you again?

i put everything on the line for you, and you betrayed me.

i'm not taking orders from you.

how do i know you won't stab me in the back?

i promise you, it won't happen again.

you don't have a good track record of keeping promises.

that was bullshit, and you know it.

this time, you can trust me.

they told me what happened last time.

i won't make the same mistakes they did.

keep telling yourself that.

every time i trust you, it comes back to bite me in the ass.

that was the worst lie i've ever heard.

you're a shit liar.

you're not getting anything from me.

i'm not risking my life to save you, that's for sure.

you're talking out of your ass.

i don't believe a word you're saying.

you're full of bullshit.

that was the biggest lie you ever told.

and to think, i trusted you once.

i'm such an idiot for thinking i could trust you.

i'll never look at you the same again.

that was an awful trick.

did you mean to do that?

had i known what you were up to, i never would have agreed to this.

once again, you lied to my face.

they warned me not to trust you.

after all the things i've heard about you, i'm not sure where i stand.

you don't exactly have a very trustworthy face.

you look like a liar to me.

you won't hold up your end of the bargain. you never do.

why did you trick me?

               HE   WAS   CATCHING   HIS   BREATH   NOW,   EASING   BACK   INTO   HIS   seat,   and   taking   the   offered   glass.   He   brought   it   up   to   his   lips   to   take   a   small   sip,   the   taste   already   bringing   relief.   He   closed   his   eyes   for   a   moment,   recalling   the   events   that   happened   just   a   few   minutes   ago.   A   heavy   breath   passed   through   his   nose,   and   then   he   smiled,   “   You   know,   I   don’t   think   Dwayne   likes   me   very   much,   ”   he   said   into   the   glass   now   raised   for   another   sip.   That   sip   turned   to   finishing   off   the   glass   and   setting   it   aside,   “   I’ll   admit   I’m   hurt,   but   it   isn’t   too   bad.   He   just   startled   me   is   all.   I   needed   to   see   what   he   could   do.   ”   

               GABRIEL   REMOVED   HIS   HAND   FROM   HIS   SIDE,   THE   NICE   SHIRT   was   ripped   in   four   long   strips.   Between   the   strips   were   four   angry   looking   claw   marks.   Deep ones,   but already   starting   to   heal.   Gabriel   let   his   hand   fall   to   the   chair   below   him   with   a   wince,   “   I   was   simply   talking,   and   he   didn’t   like   what   I   was   saying.   So,   he   struck   out   at   me,   ”   a   shrug.   He   might   have   hit   a   poor   spot,   a   cheap   one   if   he   was   honest,   but   it   didn’t   matter.   He   got   what   he   wanted   to   see,   “   He’s   not   all   calm   and   quiet   like   he   appears.   He’s   got   a   temper.   ”   An   easy   trigger   in   that   regard   could   possibly   work   in   their   favor.   

                  ANOTHER   SIGH   ESCAPED   HIM.   HE   HAD   TO   TREAD   LIGHTLY,   AND   he   would   most   certainly   do   so   now,   “   I   promise   you   I   didn’t   start   anything   serious,   ”   his   eyes   finally   looked   to   Adam   again,   a   small   wince   with   movement,   “   I   think   getting   Dwayne   out   of   the   way   could   be   useful.   He   can   be   a   problem   if   not   dealt   with.   ”

    𝖓𝖔𝖙𝖎𝖈𝖎𝖓𝖌  𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙  𝖌𝖆𝖇𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖑  𝖍𝖆𝖉  𝖋𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖘𝖍𝖊𝖉  𝖍𝖎𝖘  𝖌𝖑𝖆𝖘𝖘,   he  moved  with  a  grace  that  he  had  always  had,  grabbing  the  bottle  and  moving  back  over  to  him,  pouring  him  another  a  glass  to  help  him  heal.   they  could  easily  go  and  find  someone  in  the  hotel  to  fully  help  him  alone,  lilith  would  give  them  a  name  and  room  number,  but  he  wanted  gabriel  all  to    𝖍𝖎𝖒𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋   tonight.   an  eyebrow  raised  at  his  comment,  a  small  smirk  pulling  at  his  lips  as  he  places  the  bottle  on  the  small  table  between  their  seats,  pulling  the  other  chair  closer  to  sit  across  from  him,   "   and  what  exactly  did  you  say  that  caused  such  a  violent  reaction?    "   he  wasn't  mad  at  gabriel,  not  at  all,  this  was  how  they  worked.   they  always  had  to  know  how  their  enemy  thought,  how  their  enemy  would  react  and  what  their  enemies  weakness  would  be.   dwayne  was  playing  right  into  their  hands,  just  like  david  had.   downing  his  own  glass,  placing  it  on  the  table  as  he  moves  closer  in  his  own  chair,  hands  coming  to  a  rest  on  gabriel's  thighs,   "   a  temper?   well  that  should  be  easy  to  exploit,    "

    𝖋𝖔𝖗  𝖆  𝖒𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙  𝖍𝖊  𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖘𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖉  𝖌𝖆𝖇𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖑'𝖘  𝖘𝖚𝖌𝖌𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓,   taking  out  dwayne  would  be  the  easier  option,  but  since  when  did  he  want  to  take  the  easiest  path?   would  it  not  be  more  interesting  to  see  if  they  could  get  him  under  control?   to  be  able  to  use  that  temper  to  their  own  advantage?   and  if  it  didn't  work,  then  they  could  put  him  down,   "   potentially.   i  think  he's  still  useful  to  us  yet,    "   adam  admitted,  his  eyes  being  drawn  to  the  mess  of  his  shirt  and  side.   he  knew  that  gabriel  could  handle  himself,  that  this  was  nothing  in  the  long  game  they  were  playing.   that  didn't  mean  that  he  liked  to  see  him  hurt  like  this,  it  made  him  worry  and  that  was  a  feeling  he  did  not  like.   whilst  gabriel  was  not  close  to    𝖉𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍   with  this  injury,  it  was  a  reminder  that  he  could  lose  him  and  that  was  something  he  would  never  let  happen,   "   be  honest  with  me   -   how  are  you  feeling?   i  don't  want  you  hurting  too  much,  i  need  you  strong,    "   in  fact,  he  just  needed  him.   he  couldn't  stand  the  idea  of  not  having  gabriel  with  him  and  there  was  something  he  could  do  to  help  him,  something  that  he  would  only  really  let  gabriel  do  to  make  him  better.
