STALKING THE OTHERS BLOG TOUR

Stop 2: Shiaā€™s Not Happy

 

By Jess Haines

Hello there!Ā  Jess Haines here.Ā  Iā€™m the author of the urban fantasy H&W Investigations series HUNTED BY THE OTHERS, TAKEN BY THE OTHERS,Ā DECEIVED BY THE OTHERSĀ and the upcoming STALKING THE OTHERS.

Shiarra has been having a pretty bad time of things lately. Sheā€™s here with some of her friends (and otherwise) to tell you about it.Ā  Over to you, Shia!

____________________

Sara: Youā€™ve got a littleā€¦ uhā€¦ eye twitch thing going on over there.Ā  You okay?

Shiarra:Ā  No.

Royce:Ā  Sheā€™s been having a stressful month. Perhaps now is not the best timeā€”

Shiarra:Ā  Untie me.

Chaz:Ā  We canā€™t do that.Ā  Youā€™re being unreasonable, honā€”

Shiarra: (*CENSORED*)

Arnold:Ā  Wow.Ā  I didnā€™t even know those words were in your vocabulary.

Shiarra:Ā  (*CENSORED*)

Chaz: Babeā€”

Shiarra:Ā  (*CENSORED*)

Chaz:Ā  Honeyā€”

Shiarra:Ā  (*CENSORED*)

Sara:Ā  I feel like Iā€™m on the Jerry Springer show.

Chaz:Ā  You arenā€™t helping.

Royce:Ā  Iā€™d probably find this immensely entertaining if I had some ear plugs.

Arnold:Ā  I can conjure up some popcorn.

Shiarra:Ā  Screw you guys. Let me out of here!

Royce:Ā  Perhaps if you calmed yourself, Ms. Waynest, we wouldnā€™t find these measures necessary.

Sara:Ā  I donā€™t really like the vamp, but heā€™s got a point.Ā  You canā€™t really go around murdering and pillaging across the land.Ā  That went out of style with the Vikings.

Arnold:Ā  Pillaging never goes out of style.

Chaz:Ā  What the hell are you talking about?

Royce:Ā  I believe theyā€™re trying to calm the lady down. Perhaps you should take a step back before you worsen matters further, dog.

Chaz:Ā  Sheā€™s my girl.

Shiarra:Ā  Like hell!

Royce:Ā  Seems the lady would beg to differ.

Shiarra:Ā  Iā€™m not yours, either, fang-boy.Ā  I donā€™t belong to anybody, and as soon as I get out of here, Iā€™m going to destroy you both.

Royce:Ā  While I do find the idea of the attempt amusing, I donā€™t want to see you injure yourself. Let the authorities deal with the mutt.

Chaz:Ā  Shut up, worm-bait.

Arnold:Ā  Not that I think Chaz is in the right here, but she doesnā€™t seem too happy with you, either.

Royce:Ā  Yes, Iā€™m aware of that.

Sara:Ā  So?Ā  Doesnā€™t bother you?

Royce:Ā  Why should it?Ā  I have an eternity to change her mind.

Shiarra:Ā  Yeah, and my eternal answer is no.Ā  Always and forever, no.

Royce:Ā  Donā€™t be too sure of that, Ms. Waynest.

Arnold:Ā  If you added ā€œI have my waysā€ into this conversation somehow, the scary vampire image clichĆ© would be complete.

Sara:Ā  Oh!Ā  Oh!Ā  And a little ā€œI vant to suck your blo-o-o-o-d,ā€ too!

Shiarra:Ā  ā€¦youā€¦ really arenā€™t helping, Sara.

Sara:Ā  Sorry, but Iā€™m pulling the best friend privileges card on this one.

Shiarra:Ā  Damn it, stop making me miss you.Ā  I canā€™t think straight when Iā€™m hunting if Iā€™m stuck worrying about you, too.

Sara:Ā  Sucks to be you. Stop the crazy train and come back.

Royce:Ā  Yes, Ms. Waynest.Ā  Come back to us.Ā  You know it wonā€™t be so terrible to return to me.Ā  I can help you.

Chaz:Ā  Oh, hell no.Ā  Sheā€™s not going back to you.

Shiarra:Ā  (*CENSORED*) you both! I make my own decisions now.Ā  Right now, my plans definitely do not include either of you, other than showing you the pointy end of a stake.

Arnold:Ā  Since when did you turn into the Chosen One?

Shiarra:Ā  ā€¦what?

Arnold:Ā  You know.Ā  The Slayer.Ā  Buffy.Ā  Must stake all evil, soulless vampires.Ā  That sort of thing.

Shiarra:Ā  Iā€™m not even going to dignify that with an answer.

Sara:Ā  What about me?Ā  You left me in the lurch. Parked alone with the vampire, no less.

Shiarra:Ā  Iā€™m really sorry. Iā€™ll explain it to you when we have a moment alone.

Royce:Ā  Oh, I donā€™t think so.Ā  Iā€™m quite interested in hearing your explanation for your behavior as well.

Shiarra:Ā  Bite me.

Arnold:Ā  Very poor choice of words, there.

Shiarra:Ā  ā€¦err.

Chaz:Ā  I wonā€™t let him touch you.

Shiarra:Ā  You know what?Ā  No.Ā  I wonā€™t let him touch me.

Chaz: Ha!

Shiarra:Ā  And neither will you.Ā  Never again.

Chaz:Ā  ā€¦(*CENSORED*)
