Chapter 24 In The Commotion

• In the commotion of the crowd, she lost sight of Storm. The guard led her through the crowd, past the stage, toward a tent with a sign stating SECURITY.
• As they neared the security tent, however, Melanie’s guard veered to the side and took her to a gate in the fence. It was wooden, blocking the view of what was behind it.
• They stepped through the gate and it closed behind her. On the other side of the fence the bright lights that had turned on after the show so that people could see their way out were still blazing, but it was shadowy here. She gazed around, disoriented. Someone stepped toward her.
