You Don't Want To Do This

"Damien, NO! I beg you! Spare them! They don't deserve to die!!" Merlin's expression became aghast as his knees weakened further and tears began to pour out from his reddened eyes.

Linda began to profusely cry as she hugged her trembling son, who was shaken to his core from all the tension and fear by being before Damien.

"Neither did they," Damien said with an emotionless expression, ignoring Merlin's cries of despair.

Nathasia had a vacant expression, feeling a tightness in her heart if Damien was really going to kill these two in cold blood.

"What are you looking at? Did you not hear what I just said?" Damien sternly asked Nathasia.

"A-Are you really—"

"It's none of your business what I plan to do with them. Now...are you going to listen or not?" Damien asked with a heavy gaze.

Nathasia decided to take one final leap of faith that he was only trying to intimidate Merlin till he was completely broken by threatening his family.
