Stevia sighed when she heard Micheline come into her tent. Morning had come too soon.

Again.

Stevia stretched and sat up, hunching over her knees as her daily coughing binge began. "Put the kettle on, Micheline," she said when her coughing had slowed. "And bring me that gold bottle, please." Stevia shoved one hand through her hair, rubbed her eyes, and realized there had been no response. "Micheline, stop your daydreaming ..."

Stevia glanced up in shock as someone much larger than Micheline loomed over the bed. One hand rose to clutch the front of her worn pajamas when she saw the man in a pseudoskin.

A stranger.

He smiled coldly and she knew nothing good would come of this.

Stevia scrambled for the laze beneath her pillow, but her fingers barely brushed it. He was on top of her in a heartbeat, his gloved hand over her mouth. She fought him but her hands slid off the pseudoskin, getting no grip on him. Stevia panicked and kicked, but he was younger and stronger.

He seized her laze, put the muzzle to her temple, then fired.

Stevia didn't even manage to scream.

The only mercy was that she never felt the knife.
