The sickening sound and sight made some throw up on the spot. Kaelen held the boy's lifeless body in the air until he allowed it to fall to the ground in a sickening thud. Luckily, I acted quickly and managed to shield Lily from the gruesome sight.
Kaelen's red glowing eyes scanned the crowd wildly, and in that moment, no one dared make a sound.
"If we are to survive against the Nyx pack, then we must fight. I'm leaving tomorrow at dawn. Any man who wishes to fight to protect his family rather than wait around for death, join me!"
With that bold declaration, he marched off. Immediately as he left, the crowd dispersed, with some people going to check on the boy he killed and others rushing home.
I decided to leave. As we left, I noticed Selthia smiling happily beside me.
"Why are you in such a chipper mood?" I asked.
"That's because I figured it out," she grinned happily. "You planned all of this, and I know why."
