My precious?!

"Now that I think about it… KE KE KE… I need to take care of all of you!"

"You vermins dared to run away from me, isn't that right?"

"So, who should I take care of first?"

"Hmmmm… Hmmm… Hmm…"

The elf snickered viciously, licking his dagger. 

He then started walking around all of them, eyeing and picking out the lucky person who would be his next prey. 

He dragged all the bodies and placed them in a line up facing him. 

Among the 7 remaining members of the group, there was a young man, seemingly around the same age as Liam and also scrawny like his previous self.

He was the one who was shaking the most. 

The dark elf grabbed him by his neck, with the person kicking and screaming weakly. 

He took his dagger and in one swift move, he sliced… no he was about to slice him but he stopped. 

The blade nicked the skin dripping the blood, but the elf left the person intact.
