Just then, Levi suddenly jumped up from the bed and ran to the bathroom. Liam seized the opportunity to look around for anything that could help him. He found some clothes in the drawer that were too small for Levi, but they were better than nothing. He also found a few coins tucked away in a corner, and he quickly pocketed them.

With his plan in mind, Liam slipped out of the room and down the staircase. He could hear Levi's friends in the entryway, talking and laughing. He knew that he had to move quickly.

As he approached the front door, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned to see one of Levi's friends coming towards him.

"Where do you think you're going, toy?" the man asked, a cruel smirk on his face.

Liam knew that he was in trouble. He took a deep breath and ran for the door. The man chased after him, and the sound of their feet pounding on the stone floor echoed through the halls.

Just as Liam reached the door, the man grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back. Liam struggled, but the man was too strong.

"You're not going anywhere," the man snarled.

But Liam was not going to give up that easily. He took a deep breath and summoned all his power. He focused his energy on the man, and in an instant, the man was thrown backwards and collapsed on the floor.

Liam ran out of the palace and into the city, his heart pounding. But as he made his way through the crowd, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked down to see a large hole in his skin, and he knew that he had been bitten by something.

With no other options, Liam fled the city and into the forest, hoping to find a safe haven there. But little did he know that he was entering an even more dangerous realm.
