I sat in the darkest corner of the tent, like always, busting open a bag of popcorn. This show was different, and Delila was noticeably absent. I found that not so interesting, as her days on this earth were numbered. What I did find interesting was the new girl they had, standing in the center of the ring.
I paused.
I leaned forward, entranced by her sheer divergence. She’s not at all what I would have expected. Not that she doesn’t fit in with the rest of the beautiful faces in Midnight Mayhem, but more, because there’s something about her that is frightening. The way her eyes look into the crowd as if she’s not doing this to please anyone. She’s soulless.
She’s a corpse.
Her long blonde hair swings around as she dances out onto the stage, holding a mic to her mouth as she sings through the lyrics. The audience stops talking when they hear her sing, with good reason. Her voice is beautiful, but it doesn’t match her energy.
She looks empty. Dark.
She could be a problem…
After the Demon and Angel show, the fire bender comes out with a dragon staff on fire and moves through her routine. She’s very pretty, I think. The kind of pretty that makes other girls instantly hateful. The kind of pretty that makes me hateful. She works the fire like a pro, and I toss some popcorn into my mouth, enjoying her selection of music and her dance moves. So talented.
When I hear a bike start behind me, I watch as Killian and her share a stage. So intimate for people in Mayhem to share a stage with someone.
Just like Dove and King.
So… intimate.
My time is limited. So very limited. I want so badly to run into the center of this stage and tear their whole world down, but for now…
We wait…
In Silence

Midnight Mayhem: Book III coming soon.
