"I thought you'd prefer that I make it quick!" he continued to say with a mischievous expression on his face.
He had a smile along the edges of his lips, but that did nothing to cover up the cruelty in the depths of his eyes as he held her gaze.
"Vazer will find you, and when he does—" but Javi didn't allow her to finish as he snatched the knife from the guard who was done wiping his face with his sleeve.
Stepping closer to her with the knife in his right hand as he spoke.
"...he knows where I am! But should you really bother yourself with the affairs of the living?" He asked in a low whisper even as he picked up her hand and twisted the knife into it.
Slashing diagonally as he tore off her index finger as easily as one would slice a piece of fruit.
Tears pooled in her eyes but she didn't so much as make a sound, refusing to give Javi the pleasure of seeing her suffer.
