Hell Erupts

Katie felt a little embarrassed as she entered the ballroom. Nerit’s amazing work on the Halloween costume had resulted in a slinky dress that made her slim, athletic build look very womanly. The dress tied behind her neck and revealed her strong shoulders before gliding down over her hips and ending in a slanted hemline that accentuated the curve of her legs. Despite all her bruises, she looked amazing.

She felt very much like a girl and that made her a little nervous. She was most comfortable in her running clothes or a pair of jeans and a tank top. Lydia had been good at dressing up while Katie had just tried her best to look presentable when they went out. But tonight, she had achieved a level of femininity that was new territory for her. She felt like a bombshell.

Feeling a bit light-headed and giddy from the pot, she moved to the bar where Felix was playing bartender.

“A glass of wine,” she said, and blushed under his awed stare.

Sipping the chilled white wine, she made her way around the ballroom, greeting people and trying not to look too anxiously for Travis.

Juan and Jenni were out on the dance floor, laughing and hoofing it up to some country music. Their moves were fluid and graceful. A few older people were on the floor as well, moving slower but obviously enjoying themselves.

Peggy was trying hard to get away from a tall, older man who smelled so bad that Katie winced. She recognized him as the guy who had arrived on the scooter. He was talking rapidly and waving a video camera around.

“ … so you can tell the mayor that I don’t believe he’s not feeling well. I think he is avoiding me as he always does, because I alone know the real truth of what he is planning to do. I plan to write to the media and report how he has blocked their transmissions to this town so he can—”

“I swear to God, Otis Calhoun, if you do not leave me alone, I will have your ass dragged out of here,” Peggy snapped.

“That’s harassment!” he protested before stomping away.

As the two of them passed Katie, Peggy whispered, “Nice dress.”

Finishing her glass of wine, she went back for another and found Bill at the bar, drinking a beer.

“Nice dress, Katie,” he said with an appreciative smile.

“Thanks, Bill. I’m trying to impress someone tonight.”

“Well, I’m impressed, if that counts.”

She grinned. “Yes, it does. How are you doing?”

“Still trying to figure out this vigilante business.”

“If anyone can sort it out, it’s you, Bill.” She was feeling very light-headed and a bit tipsy.

One of her fondest memories was of the moment when Lydia saw her for the first time in her wedding dress. The look of awe and love in her beloved’s eyes would stay with Katie forever. Now she had a new memory to match it: the look on Travis’s face when he entered the ballroom and saw her. Katie finally knew what it looked like to see someone struck speechless.
