I’m going to be posting a few character interviews over the coming weeks as they’re always popular with you guys… at the end of each, I’ll allow you to either shout out for which character to interview next, or ask questions to the character I’ve chosen to interview…<\/p>\n
First up is my interview with Prophecy, from my Prophecy Trilogy<\/b> and Spellbound <\/b>which is part of the Vampires Realm<\/i><\/a> series.<\/p>\n FH: Welcome Prophecy, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a while since we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen each other but just the other day I was thinking about you!<\/p>\n (Prophecy neatly arranges herself on the plush black velvet armchair opposite mine. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beautifully dressed in a long dark purple corseted dress that reminds me of the one she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d worn at the Creator Day masquerade. She smiles, a hint of nerves in her look.)<\/p>\n Prophecy: It has been a while. Things have been a little mad since then but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad you were thinking about me. I dread to think what it was you were thinking. After our last time together, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve wanted to steer clear of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctroublesome trio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as you call us. (she grins).<\/p>\n FH: You three are troublesome. I swear, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never dealt with three people more difficult, stubborn and silly than you lot. Anyway, people want to hear from you all so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve bought you here to answer a few questions.<\/p>\n Prophecy: You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interviewing Valentine and Venturi too? They never told me. (her eyes turn a little green, which worries me since hers turn green when she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s showing her true vampiric face)<\/p>\n FH: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing to worry about. Those two rarely speak as it is. Still, we should get on with this. I have to talk to Venturi next and we all know that he has no patience.<\/p>\n (Prophecy nods in agreement and then grins again. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m relieved to see her teeth aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sharp. It must have been jealousy turning her eyes green)<\/p>\n Prophecy: Saving the best for last? (her smile widens with a hint of pride about her mate, Valentine)<\/p>\n FH: Well, you could say that. I was actually thinking he could rescue me from Venturi if he becomes too over enthusiastic. Last time we talked, he wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let me go without a sip of my blood.<\/p>\n Prophecy: He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s such a flirt, although he denies it. The Devil, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really keeping you chatting. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just been so long and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so easy to talk to.<\/p>\n FH: I suppose that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why you told me your story, all three books of it.<\/p>\n Prophecy: Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget the short story! (she beams at me. Sometimes it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard for me to remember she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a vampire. She acts so young and foolish, yet she rules a bloodline and is mated to one incredible man and a lover of another) So, what about these questions?<\/p>\n FH: How could I forget the short story? Writing that down was, well… I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I should try to put into words how hot it was. Okay, first question… what have you been up to since we last saw you?<\/p>\n (she looks thoughtful)<\/p>\n Prophecy: Things have been busy with the bloodlines. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s non-stop hassle but Valentine helps me through. Sometimes I get in over my head and he has to come and rescue me. (laughs) I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d do without him.<\/p>\n FH: Does he still live at the Aurorea mansion?<\/p>\n Prophecy: (nodding) Yes. We decided it was best if we remained in our separate mansions, although we often spend the day together at one or the other.<\/p>\n FH: And Venturi?<\/p>\n Prophecy: He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always in Romania right now. They need him to guard the gate to Hell. He comes to visit sometimes though, which is always nice. FH: Nice, huh? (wink) We all know the real meaning behind that. <\/p>\n Prophecy: He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a little insatiable.<\/p>\n FH: I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think insatiable is a strong enough word. Now that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got permission from Valentine to go within a foot of you, I bet he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave you alone. <\/p>\n Prophecy: Valentine is still quite strict. Venturi needs to get permission to visit me for anything other than business.<\/p>\n FH: Have all three of you spent time together since we wrote Spellbound?<\/p>\n Prophecy: (nodding vigorously) My two loves, as Hyperion calls them, have spent quite a lot of time sleeping in the same bed at the same time with me.<\/p>\n (I lean forward)<\/p>\n FH: (whispers) any man on man action?<\/p>\n (Prophecy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes shoot wide. Her mouth falls open. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a definite look of a blush without the blush about her.)<\/p>\n Prophecy: I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say.<\/p>\n FH: Oh, go on. Everyone is dying to know. I doubt they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d ever get physical, but not even a brief touch or kiss? Prophecy: I bet you can! (she laughs) Seriously though, I think they might have done that just once too, and I seem to remember I had to beg for a long time to get them to do it and it was the most uncomfortable kiss I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d ever seen. I think that was the point I gave up trying to convince them to get it on. Neither of them are that way inclined.<\/p>\n FH: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure Hyperion would kiss them for you.<\/p>\n (We both laugh and nod. Prophecy is hysterical with laughter. She breathes hard to calm herself down and keeps nodding)<\/p>\n Prophecy: Oh, he so would. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d probably kiss them both at the same time. (she giggles) Have you interviewed him yet?<\/p>\n (I shake my head)<\/p>\n FH: I have a chastity belt ready for the occasion. I was thinking of a neck brace too to protect my throat.<\/p>\n Prophecy: He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d convince you to take those off within seconds. His powers of persuasion are frightening. <\/p>\n (We both nod again, knowing exactly what the lord of Validus is like. Nothing can stop him if he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s truly set his sights on something)<\/p>\n FH: So your romance is going well. Do you have any other adventures planned that I can write down?<\/p>\n Prophecy: Well, you never know. Venturi mentioned something the other day that sounded interesting. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll check it out and when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had our fun, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll contact you and we can work on writing it down again. Sound good?<\/p>\n FH: Sounds great. I have a few more questions. You live in Prague and share a city with the Aurorea. The last time we met, you hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been out of the mansion much and hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really had much of a chance to explore the city where you were raised. Have you seen more of it since then?<\/p>\n Prophecy: (leans back in her chair and sighs wistfully) Prague is beautiful. Valentine has shown me a lot of the city and we often walk the streets together at night.<\/p>\n FH: Hand in hand?<\/p>\n Prophecy: (smiles her blushing smile again) Yes, hand in hand. You know what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so romantic. <\/p>\n FH: Aww. I know what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like. Emotionless on the surface but bursting with feelings beneath. I could just imagine him taking you on a moonlit tour of the city with his hand in yours, whispering the history of Prague into your ear. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d take you to the river or perhaps to the square and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d stand shyly by while he killed for you and then share the meal.<\/p>\n Prophecy: That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so not funny… but yeah, something like that. <\/p>\n (we laugh again)<\/p>\n Prophecy: He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sweet though, you know? Beneath that sometimes frightening exterior is a romantic, just like you said. And yeah, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve shared a few kills while strolling the streets. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of anywhere I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather be than Prague. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen a few cities now, and none of them compare to my city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beauty and darkness.<\/p>\n FH: I can second that. Prague is beautiful. I really enjoyed writing the scenes of your story that were set there. Like when you met Lincoln when you went out for a feed.<\/p>\n Prophecy: Ah, Lincoln. I hear you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re writing his story.<\/p>\n FH: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve written it. He was interesting to work with. As troublesome as you lot. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m beginning to think that all of you pure bloods are difficult. Anyway, on with the questions. What was it like to have your story told and know that people have been reading and enjoying it?<\/p>\n Prophecy: (looks thoughtful) Well, it was quite exciting. Since we were the first, we were a little reluctant about it. We didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to get into trouble. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d already pushed the Law Keepers to their limit. Once all seven leaders of the bloodlines agreed to the series, and the chronicling of our lives, then it was fun to tell you all about it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s strange to see your website and the reviews of the stories, seeing how those people really enjoyed the story and wanted more. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m actually quite honoured that you wrote our story first and that people have liked it.<\/p>\n FH: I have a few silly questions that I like to ask the people I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m interviewing. Firstly, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your favourite colour?<\/p>\n Prophecy: Purple I think. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go well with the red hair but I dye it darker a lot these days. (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dark red, almost black right now). Prophecy: Prague at night when Valentine is with me. The city has an ancient smell and when it mixes with the scent of Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blood, it really stirs my senses. I especially love it in winter, when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quiet and the smell of snow is in the air. Prophecy: Anything that came from my mother. (She touches the star that hangs around her neck) I love my mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s book and this necklace. They remind me of her and make me feel strong when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m feeling weak. Prophecy: Train. It has to be training. I love to practice fighting with Tiberius but most of the time he goes easy on me. Sometimes I get to fight Valentine or Venturi and we really go for it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s brutal. (She grins) Most of the time I lose, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s great fun, especially against Valentine. We taunt each other through our telepathic link and the fact we feel whatever the other is feeling makes it more intense. When I hit him, I feel his pain and it drives us on until we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re lost in the violence and then um… well… things reach a climax, so to speak.<\/p>\n FH: Oh. (my eyebrows shoot up) I see what you mean. I guess that fighting such a handsome and passionate man would get me a little hot too. Erm… finally… what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your favourite time of year?<\/p>\n Prophecy: Autumn. I really like autumn, when the leaves change and the weather cools, before the snow comes. In autumn the nights are clear and there are less tourists. Valentine always seems to be less busy too so we can spend more time walking together.<\/p>\n FH: From humping like bunnies to romantic walks. You really do know how to change a subject. (I smile when she grins at me) It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a blast catching up and interviewing you, if you can call it that. I really hope that adventure of yours comes off and we can write another story together.<\/p>\n Prophecy: Me too. The troublesome trio will be knocking on your door soon enough I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure. I better go. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need all the time you can get to prepare yourself for Venturi. (she grins again) I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll expect to see a fresh set of bite marks on your neck next time I see you then, eh?<\/p>\n FH: (blushing) Get off with you. Haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you got a bloodline to run? (she laughs and walks out of the door, waving as she goes. I pick up my notes on Venturi and frown.) This is going to be interesting.<\/p>\n So… any questions for Venturi???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m going to be posting a few character interviews over the coming weeks as they’re always popular with you guys… at the end of each, I’ll allow you to either shout out for which character to interview next, or ask … Continue reading
(if she could blush, I think she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be bright red)<\/p>\n
Prophecy: (looks around her and then back at me) Maybe there was a touch once.
FH: Not giving away the details huh? (she shakes her head) I understand. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d go mad if you told me and they found out. Have they ever kissed? I can just picture that.<\/p>\n
FH: And your favourite smell?<\/p>\n
FH: Your favourite possession?<\/p>\n
FH: Favourite thing to do?<\/p>\n
