"Where?" Abbertus' voice was cold.
The longer it went on, the tighter his grip became on the maid's neck. The maid had wet herself with fear. She had been begging for help and mercy since she had been found fleeing as Abbertus entered the hall.
"In the back! In the food storage!" the maid replied with tears in her eyes.
Abbertus grinned happily. He finally had the information he wanted. He applied more force to his hand. There was a sound of breaking and then the maid in his hand fell. The maid's eyes widened. The eyes, full of light, suddenly became empty.
Abbertus released his grip and the maid fell to the ground with a loud thud, completely motionless.
Something could be heard falling in the hallway. The sound made Abbertus smile. He disappeared and appeared before a small child with a face pale with fear. The boy backed away slowly, trying to stay upright even though his entire body was shaking.
