"Kyah!!!"
Amidst the cheering, chanting, and the voices of Slater and the host over the microphone, Penny's scream went unnoticed. It was only when chaos erupted and blood was spilled that the other noises ceased.
The piercing sound of the microphone hitting the floor echoed throughout the mall, causing everyone to wince or cover their ears. But once the screeching feedback faded, the only sound they heard was the drip of blood hitting the stage.
"Slater!" someone from the audience gasped, her face paling.
A pin-drop silence took over as the crowd tried to process what had just occurred. Moments ago, they had been cheering and laughing as Slater and the host bantered with the audience. Some were even chanting for one last song before he left. After all, Slater was only there as a guest and he was politely trying to leave, for he didn't want to take up the time for other artists to perform.
