Because a drabble is quite short(only 100 words) please remain on the page for at least 30 seconds to count this as a full read. I will be grateful if you read, highlight, clap, and comment. Thank you!

Celaena had been monitoring Drake’s movements for a week now to craft a perfect plan to kill him. Being an assassin, her job was to hunt the man down and spill his blood without anyone having a clue.

She was around the corner from Drake’s establishment, wearing black leather from head to toe to blend into the moonless night.

When a dagger came flying at her, she ducked in time with a feline swiftness to avoid contact.

She must have been distracted.

Drake will die. If not today, then tomorrow.

And then she will find the source of that dagger.

Thank you for reading this article.
