“Eden’s Show Cancelled Due to Electrical Issues”

– headline from The Summerland Tattler

“I’m proud that you serve our country, but I worry about you every day…”

– Pop Star Eden Knight’s email to Prince Logan

“No one thinks of how much blood it costs.”

– Dante Alighieri, Medieval Poet

Logan is good to his word, and Ollie stands sentinel outside her door. Apparently he ordered Ollie not to step foot inside the room. She smiles. Logan sure is jealous. But she wants him—not Ollie.

There’s a coldness in the room without Logan filling it with his presence. She hugs herself and walks back to the window. It’s dark outside but the nearby bright lights from the airstrip filter in through the window, giving her enough lighting to feel comfortable moving around in the room.

After Logan left, she watched a plane take off in the distance and then saw scattered soldiers walking here and there by her window. Although there was one woman not in uniform. She wore a flowing white dress with a black, bulky belt that didn’t at all go with her outfit. Eden didn’t recognize her, but presumed she was a backup performer with one of the other singers. Definitely not one of hers. Her backup dancers couldn’t move on stage with a belt like that.

She paces. Too much time has passed. Not one word from anyone about Logan or her brother. Hoping for a glimpse of either of them, she again glances out the window. She presses her nose and hands to the glass.

What’s happening?

A knife. Her brother. Blood. Logan.

That woman in a black-belted white dress, now marred by blood streaks, holds a knife at a sharp angle against Dante’s throat! Red rivulets of blood run down her brother’s neck.

A glint of something metallic, bigger than a lipstick case, shines in the woman’s other hand. She brandishes it around. Her hair is wild. Thick dark mascara stains run down her cheeks.

Logan faces them, but his back is to Eden. They’re all talking, but she can’t hear what they say.

“Dante!” She pounds her hands on the window. “Dante!” But no one turns to her. They are close enough to see, but too far away to hear through the window.

She fumbles for a window latch, but there is none. There’s nothing she can open. The glass traps her, barricading her from Dante and Logan.

Every cell in her body screams to that woman, “Stop! Stop! Stop!” She pounds on the window so hard that her wrists and fingers hurt.

Ollie dashes into the room. “Stop. Don’t do that.”

Eden stops her pounding and turns to him.

“My brother and Logan are out there with a mad woman. Look!” She points to them out the window.

“I know. We’re monitoring the situation by radio.” He’s surprisingly calm about it. “This room is soundproof, but we can’t risk alerting that woman she has an audience. She’ll feel inclined to heighten the show.”

“You mean she’d”—Eden gulps, she can’t say the word kill—“just because people are watching?”

“Situations like that have happened before.” He nods. “She’s probably doing this to get attention.
