Verchiel here, the hot redheaded vampire from Joleene Naylor’s Amaranthine series. If you’ve missed the last three posts let me bring you up to date. While interviewing me, Donna dared me to give Katelina a birthday surprise. So, I did. Apparently it’s upset Jorick a little bit, and I’m currently hiding in the rafters in the attic here in the good ol’ Amaranthine Character’s Complex, waiting for him to cool down.
Yes, that’s why I’m whispering. That and I don’t want to attract any bats. I’ve heard they nest in your hair. And since hair is all I’m wearing at the moment… well, you can imagine.
Oh crap! There he is!
Jorick: *shakes fist* Come down here now so I can kill you.
Verchiel: Hmm. The offer sounds tempting but, no. I’m afraid I have to pass. Sorry.
J: Then I’ll come up there. *jumps. Grabs rafter. Swings up and lands on the rafter next to Verchiel* Do you want to tell me what you were thinking now, or after I’ve ripped your heart out?
V: It’s going to be hard to talk then, isn’t it?
J *growls and reaches to grab Verchiel’s shirt, only, there is no shirt.*
V: I’m sure you don’t want to kill a naked man? *edges away* How would that look? People might think it was a lover’s tryst gone awry. You wouldn’t want that kind of reputation, now would you?
J: *growls and snatches at him again, only Verchiel jumps down too fast*
V: Oh come on, have a sense of humor. It was just a dare! I couldn’t very well back down and ruin my reputation, now could I? And Kately’s none the worse for wear. She’s been doing all those time travel scenes for that Patrick prequel lately, and I don’t see you beating Patrick up just because she saw him naked!
J: *drops down and feigns right. Verchiel hops left and Jorick grabs him by the throat* That’s different and if I had my way, I just might.
V: *cough*choke*Come on now, you *cough* know you can’t really kill me!
J: Watch me.

Mysterious narrator: Oh no! It looks like this is the end for Verchiel! Tune in tomorrow for “Smear of Vampire on the Wall” or “Verchiel’s Last Laugh”.

/ August 31, 2012Love it. Jorick feigning right. Good move. Verchiel loves any attention – even negative, so I’m sure he’s thoroughly enjoying this.
