"I hope you enjoyed that last song!" Sutoria proclaims, waving.
"YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Now, before the concert officially begins, a word from the sponsor of this surprise event. Please welcome Mr. Kennedy Wave!"
Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi!
(Finally!) I think.
I look at my communication crystal. Figures Oren would cause trouble again! But no matter...
The time has come.
I make a gesture at the side of the stage to those in the audience who nod and ready themselves. Ken walks on stage.
"Thank you, everyone, for attending this concert. Diva-de has kindly agreed to hold this event as a fundraiser for the patients at Wave Hospit...!"
The three men I placed in the audience get up...
GA! GA! GA!
And fire.
BAAN!!
At that instant, the main entrance to the hall is slammed open...
And a blur dashes down the theatre stairs, past the bullets...
And stops in front of Ken.
GA! GA! GA!
The sound of the bullets hitting metal rings through the air. When I recollect myself, I see him.
Oren, deflecting the bullets.
(No...NonononononoNO!!!!)
The audience, screaming, stampedes out of the theatre at full speed.
"GET HIM!!!" I yell, pointing to Oren.
My men in the audience prepare to fire, with some of my other minions coming into the room as the fans leave. But before they do anything...
The room is covered in a sphere of darkness rhime.
I hear the sound of footsteps running towards the theatre entrance. And when the rhime clears...
Oren, Sutoria, and Ken are gone.
"DAMN YOU!!!" I yell.
I bring my communication crystal to my lips.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
