A young elf sat by the cackling fire, rubbings his pale hands over a cup of cocoa that had long gone cold. He was lost in thought, staring into the fire as it flickered in his eyes. The brown had gained a slight, red tint to it over time. They shone red with blood.

The elf had murdered many, for he was the Second Assasin in the organization known as the Dark Elves. No one knew anyone's real names, instead identified by numbers. He was D.E.-712, just 712 for short. Dark Elves were elves against Christmas and everything it stood for. The hate ran deep, for there were many elves in the world who were forced to mingle with humans, despising those who were able to live in Christmas Town, always with friends, never without a smile. Didn't they know what it was like to be out in the real world?!

No, they didn't. They were nothing but children, their innocence and ignorance preserving their young appearence forever. Every other elf grew up like a normal human, for each of them knew the horrors of the real world. They could end their lives with a single thought, and many saw no reason to live. The Light Elves, on the other hand, had no reason to die, living forever in happiness. And every Dark Elf hated them for it.

The Dark elves had been started the night a young elf boy named Rejah had finally been consumed by his hate. He murdered his family, smiling wickedly at their pain as she squeezed the lives out of them from between his fingers. He had set fire to his whole village, and as he watched the burning flames, he laughed and let the darkness forever hold him. And thus, he had started the Dark Elves, recruiting all elves that hated those of the Light. He gained power, learning Elven Magic that could torture and kill. As the Dark Elves grew, Rejah was forever transformed into Lord Agurakki, the Dark One.

712 had been exposed to Dark Elf Magic for years, his parents having been murdered by it when he was young. He wasn't innocent, yet in a way, he was. He had only been a Dark Elf for seven years, giving himself to the Darkness the New Year's Eve just after the newest Santa Clause had spent his first Christmas in the North Pole. However, he had started training two years before that. He could use Dark Elf Magic well, while many couldn't kill unless they tried several times.

712 suddenly became angry with himself. His eyes seemed to gain a reddish tint, as they did when he was filled with rage or sent out to kill. And suddenly, from between his fingers, the cup of Cocoa shattered into millions of pieces, though not a single one hit him.

WHAT HAPPENED?! his head snapped up to see a small elf named Judy standing in the doorway, hand over her heart in panic, looking at the shattered glass.

I dropped it, sorry, 712 laughed nervously, which made Judy eye him skeptically.

she replied with a sigh before meeting his eyes with her own. He secretely prayed they had returned to brown, for what would Judy say if she saw his eyes? He was a murder... and she would know. He imagined how her face would twist in horror and hate if he told her the countless innocents he had murdered with his own hands.

Are you alright? Judy asked, making him snap out of his daydream.

Of course, he smiled. Don't worry... I'll clean it up.

Yeah, you better! Judy flashed him a mischevious smile before laughing. See you around, Bernard!
