In the beginning near Cuivienen where te Elves awoke, they dreaded something. When Oromë finds them they fear him in at first because something is hunting them down. The Sil never states if it is Melkor or 'things' that are under his dominion. That which they fear is simply referred as the Hunter, I believe.
So, after they were hunted and caught, the process of destruction began and I can do no more than join the answers given already.
greetings,
