Chapter Fifteen

Even though Audrey left the president’s office determined to be the best popstar ever, the reality wasn’t so easy.

On the millionth take of her part of “Super Explosion!” Suzie cut the music in Audrey’s headphones and pressed the little button inside the control booth to speak to her.

“It’s okay if you can’t get it, Audrey. There’s no shame in lip-syncing.”

Even Audrey knew that was a lie. “I can do it.”

“Maybe if you stop trying so hard. Just let go and feel the lyrics.”

Audrey nodded, taking a deep breath as she read over the lyric sheet. She could do that. She could feel the lyrics. That was way easier than trying to hit specific notes. The notes changed too fast, and she got confused.

“Ready?” Suzie asked.

Audrey wasn’t sure, but she nodded. The music in her earphones started to play.

The problem was, how could she sing about fighting for the future and shining in the darkness when the cult was out there attacking people? It was weeks until the concert – they could’ve attacked half the city by then. Every person who was hurt, she felt responsible for. She’d led the cult here. She was the reason they hadn’t left. Even if what she was doing was for the greater good, there were a lot of smaller evils along the way that couldn’t be ignored. And she had no idea what to do about that.

Before she realized it, the song was half-over.

“Maybe we need a break,” Suzie’s voice said in her ear.

Audrey nodded. Suzie left the booth to go and get a coffee, so Audrey wandered in to talk to Joe.

“Sorry,” she said.

Joe shrugged. “No big,” he said, fiddling around with some colorful dials on the sound board.

There was so much equipment. If all that technology couldn’t make her sound good, there was a problem.

Knowing it wouldn’t help anything, but not able to resist, Audrey got out her phone and looked up the latest attack. She found the article from that morning and clicked on it. There was a photo of a man, slumped on the ground. He was covered in blood, a hole in the place where his heart should have been. The number 5 had been scratched into the man’s forehead, obviously by a claw. Audrey didn’t need to read the article to work out what had happened.

Another photo underneath looked like a dark blur, and it was titled, “Cult of Monsters?”

Audrey felt bad for the man. He’d obviously been heading to work, probably thinking of all the things he needed to do, what he’d have for dinner, then all of a sudden, his heart was ripped from his chest. It wasn’t fair.

She typed “how to stop evil cult” into the search bar, but all the results were either gaming guides or conspiracy theories. She sighed. If the internet had no answers, she wasn’t sure how she was supposed to find them. There was no other option than to hope nobody else was killed before she could borrow the president’s dragonfire.
