The Hidden Generation

     The characters I am going to be interviewing now are characters from my book "The Hidden Generation".  Here is the story synopsis:
     What if hunting wasn't about killing animals? What if it was children they were hunting? When all the children age 6-13 are ordered to be killed - supposedly because of a virus that came into the school - they flee to the woods, where they become like the animals: surrounded by hunters. When teenagers Brayan, Emleth, and Fleta learn the plan and try to hide the children, the government is furious. But, they are safe from the government in their hiding place. Until . . . one of them . . . betrays the rest . . .
     Now, the book has become about much more then that, but that is basically what the beginning story idea was.  I hope you like the characters!

The Forbidden Love Facebook Page

   Check out my facebook page.  It's a place where I continually add parts of the story, usually along with a picture.
   I will now be switching to another book to interview characters.  I will put up another post to talk about the story.

Interviewing Thea, from Forbidden Love.

Hello!  I am so sorry it has been so long since my last post, but this has taken a while.  I am interviewing Thea.

Hope you like it!

Abri:

Okay, so I won't be doing this interview with Katelyn, as she is not currently here. I will do my best to come up with questions that help you to understand my interviewee, Thea, better. How are you this morning, Thea?

Thea:

Better.

Abri:

Better? You haven't been doing well, recently?

Thea:

Well, you have just been thinking about me freezing in the woods, and when you think about me, I'm actually there, and when you think about me feeling something, I actually feel it, so . . . yeah, I have been freezing for a while.

Abri:

Oh, my gosh! I never thought of that! I am so sorry! I will try to not think of you freezing much.

Thea:

Thank you. *Shivers*

Abri:

*Blushes* Well . . . what did you think of Alianor when you first saw her when you where . . . okay, I won't picture that, for your sake. You know.

Thea:

I thought she looked like an Angel. I was so cold, and when I saw her, I didn't know if I was dying (and I had been thinking I was for a while,) or if I was saved.

Abri:

Oh, wow. You must have been a little disconcerted, to think she might be there to carry you to heaven.

Thea:

I guess I kind of was. I wouldn't be surprised. Hey, I have a question.

Abri:

Um, I'm kind of supposed to be the one asking the questions.

Thea:

*Ignoring Abri* Where is Katelyn?

Abri:

Um . . .

Katelyn:

Hey, there! *flounces towards Thea* It's a pleasure to meet you!

Abri:

Katelyn! You could have said, "Can I join you for the interview?" or call my to warn me of your arrival! We were talking!

Katelyn:

*laugh* Oh, sure. That would ruin the surprise!

Thea:

Um . . . hi? You know, I'm not really prepared to meet you. Abri has thought a lot about you, and I feel like I need to prepare.

Abri:

Really, Kitten?

Katelyn:

Oh, no need to prepare for me. I mean, look at me! *points to messy hair* I should be the one preparing. Don't worry a single second about it! Just get on with the interview!

Abri:

I think she meant she had to brace herself. :-P

Thea:

Um, since Katelyn is here, who's asking the questions?

Katelyn:

*plops in chair* Um . . . I'm really hyper right now, so it might be best if Abri asks. *bounces in chair*

Abri:

You know, that's a really nice chair. Maybe you should get that beanbag over there. I really hope you can't break that by bouncing.

Thea:

Uh, the question.

Abri:

Oh, yes, of course. So, what did Alianor do immediately when she saw you?

Thea:

She sat down, wrapped her arms around me, and said, "Come on. You must get inside. I have a bed for you."

Katelyn:

*stops bouncing* Aww. Ali is really sweet. *bounce*

Abri:

*Glares at Katelyn* Ali is not sweet! And weren't you supposed to switch chairs?

Thea:

*Ignores Abri* That's what I thought. I mean, I thought she was the best angel ever. That was when I thought she was an angel.

Katelyn:

*eyeroll* *switches chairs* There. Now, Ali . . . uh, you thought you were an angel? Or are you talking about . . . Thea?

Abri:

Ka-a-a-atelyn!!!!! We're interviewing Thea! And don't you know what we just talked about?

Thea:

*Ignoring Abri's lecture* Well, I was half frozen, so I was sort of discombobulated. So, I didn't know if she had come to bring me to heaven, or to keep my alive.

Abri:

You ignore me a lot, Thea.

Thea:

Lectures annoy me.

Abri:

*Glares*

Katelyn:

*gets out notebook and pen* Oh, really? Well . . . we will have to find a way to use that in your backstory. Hmm . . . maybe your father was a teacher? What do you have to say about your family?

Thea:

*Blinks* I was a peasant. The peasants didn't have teachers. The peasants didn't get educations. I ran away from my family for a reason. I am not going to talk about them.

Abri:

:-/ Wow. You're almost as bad as Gavin.

Katelyn:

Wow. Um . . . anything you can tell us about other than your family?

Thea:

Wouldn't it be easier if you asked me a question?

Abri:

Katelyn? How much time do we have?

Katelyn:

15 minutes?

Abri:

Okay. Thea. Where did Alianor take you when she brought you in?

Thea:

She brought my to her room.

Abri:

. . . Okay, that wasn't really much of a question. Do you have one Katelyn?

Katelyn:

Well, what do you think of Adelaide.

Thea:

Well, when Alianor was showing me around the castle, and we came to Adelaide, I thought she was a very courteous woman. She politely met me, and was speaking in a very kind voice.

Katelyn:

That's great. *smile* Now, Abri, do you have another question for her?

Abri:

Hmm . . . what did you think of Gavin?

Thea:

Well, I thought he was kind of scary. I couldn't tell why Alianor seemed to like him so. As much as I like her, she puzzles me.

Katelyn:

*nods*

Abri:

Yeah . . . Um, Kitten? Do you have a question now?

Katelyn:

*shrug* What is your favorite thing to do?

Thea:

*Thinks for a moment* I think painting. I love painting.

Katelyn:

EEK!!! You're like another fictional character I know. *grin* *jumps up from chair and hugs Thea*

Thea:

*Tries not to look nervous, but bites lip*

Abri:

That's what she meant by being prepared, Katelyn. Which character?

Katelyn:

*sits back down* *cough* Sorry about that. I've been really . . . insane today. Abri, you don't want to know.

Abri:

Okay, yeah. I figured it out. -_- Duh. The only character I wouldn't want to know about. Do you have another question, Kitten? We can probably do one more.

Katelyn:

Thea, how great of a time did you have?

Thea:

What do you mean?

Katelyn:

I keep forgetting that you're not from this time. Uh . . . let's see . . . did you enjoy this little discussion?

Thea:

Ah, I see. Well, honestly, I do not believe we learned much, but . . . I suppose that's because I already know the story, having lived it.

Abri:

That makes sense. Thank you for explaining it.

Katelyn:

Yes. Thank you for explaining.

Abri:

Well, that's all the time we have for today. Bye!

Thea:

Goodbye all.

Katelyn:

Bye!

And that was the Thea's interview!

      Abri, Philippians 4:13

Interviewing Gavin, from Forbidden Love.

Hello!  Today I am having an interview with Gavin.

Here goes nothing!

Abri:

Hello all. I am here with Katelyn interviewing Gavin from Forbidden Love. Katelyn is going to be asking the questions for this one, and I will be putting tid bits in here and there.

Katelyn:

Hello, Gavin! How are you today?

Gavin:

Fine.

Abri:

Gavin, can you put in a tiny bit more than that?

Katelyn:

A man of little words. Lovely. . .

Gavin:

Humph! Very fine!

Katelyn:

*cough* That's wonderful. What exactly do you do in the story?

Gavin:

Do?

Katelyn:

Yeah, you know. What role do you play and how important are you?

Gavin:

I had a mission. I was doing that mission when I met Alianor. Then things started to become bad, for the people that had assigned me that mission found out what Alianor was trying to do. It became very bad.

Abri:

She asked you how important you where. Not the whole story line.

Gavin:

I gave her more than she had asked for.

Katelyn:

*snicker* Yeah, but this is good too. Okay, so . . . what did you think of Adelaide when you first . . . no, when you met her officially?

Gavin:

Which time was it official? The first time I met her, I did what I was told and held on to her.

Katelyn:

Well, like, when you met her and exchanged names or whatever it was that you did.

Gavin:

When we came to names, Alianor was right there introducing me.

Katelyn:

Oh, I see. Well, what did you think of Ali?

Gavin:

Ahem. Next question?

Abri:

Gavin! You have to answer it!

Katelyn:

This will be a good explanation.

Gavin:

I do not like to share any of my feelings with people I do not trust. And, as I understand, many people will be reading this.

Katelyn:

Um . . . we'll make sure only people we trust will read it. And you trust us, right?

Abri:

*Coughs* Actually, anyone can read it. It's an open blog.

Gavin:

See! I am not an open man.

Katelyn:

Too bad! You better start getting open. I've tortured my last interviewees, so don't think I won't hesitate to--

Abri:

KITTEN! Ahem. PLEASE answer it, Gavin.

Katelyn:

Ahem . . . . yes, you better. *glare*

Abri:

*Leans over to whisper to Kitten* Katelyn! Stop trying to scare him! You. Will. Not. Succeed.

Gavin:

Fine. I thought she was a nice looking young maiden. There. Are you satisfied with that, Miss Shear?

Katelyn:

*grin* Yes, I am. *whispers to Abri* Apparently SOMETHING worked. *To Gavin* So, you didn't mind her temper?

Abri:

Katelyn. Don't go there. I know Gavin better than you do.

Gavin:

I would prefer to stop talking about feelings, especially mine.

Katelyn:

Fine, fine. Abri, you ask him a question now.

Abri:

Me? But, I thought I was just supposed to be watching?

Katelyn:

Sure, but that doesn't mean you can't ask a question or two.

Abri:

Okay. Gavin. What did you think you would do when Alianor first asked you not to send secrets to your country?

Gavin:

I decided to think about it. And . . . and pray. She told me about praying, and about God and all. *Blushes, feeling awkward talking about Ali*

Katelyn:

Isn't this about feelings?

Abri:

Um . . . sort of. Well, I asked him what he thought he would do. Not why he liked a girl. He himself changed the subject to Ali.

Gavin:

Never mind. Next question?

Abri:

Kitten. That's you.

Katelyn:

Um . . . . How did you become involved with your . . . mission?

Gavin:

Pardon?

Abri:

She means why did they ask you to be the one to give them messages. You do mean that, right, Kitten?

Katelyn:

*shrug* I think that's what I mean.

Gavin:

I am one of the best knights, but not only that, I am very secretive (As I am sure you have figured by now.) I was the perfect spy.

Katelyn:

Yeah, we've noticed. So . . . when did you decide to . . . stop?

Gavin:

What do you mean?

Abri:

I have a question, can I ask it?

Katelyn:

Shoot away! He doesn't understand my questions.

Abri:

Drat. I lost it. Never mind.

Katelyn:

ABRI!!! Fine. Gavin, do you have any family? Like siblings and stuff?

Gavin:

That I cannot answer.

Katelyn:

Why not?

Gavin:

I prefer to keep my personal life out of this. Do you have another question?

Abri:

Gavin! The book is about your "Personal life!" You can't keep yourself in the dark and out of sight any longer.

Gavin:

The book is not about my personal life, it is about a series of events that happened in and around the kingdom of Araoma. I just happen to be in it.

Katelyn:

Good grief, dude, you're one of the MMC's!!!

Gavin:

MMC's? What is that? Or what are they? Abri. Have you ever heard of the MMC's? . . . Abri? Where are you?

A few minutes later . . .

Abri:

*Comes running in* Sorry! Little brother stole my science book to make me get off. Where were we?

Gavin:

Have you ever heard of the MMC's, Abri?

Abri:

Nope. What are they?

Katelyn:

Male Main Character.

Abri:

Oh, yeah! I can't believe I forgot that.

Gavin:

Ah. I see.

Abri:

Hold on. Let me see what you said while I was gone . . . yeah, Gavin! People are going to learn about you and get to know you.

Katelyn:

Yeah.

Gavin:

Then let them, but I have no intention of sharing my feelings outright. They may get my feelings wrong if they read the book, and that I am all right with.

Abri:

*Facepalm* Katelyn, we aren't going anywhere. How 'bout another question?

Katelyn:

We shall wring your feelings from you if it's the last thing we do . . . ahem, anyway, what do you think of the questions so far?

Abri:

Oh, BTW Gavin. I <3 the surfer-boy hair cut.

Gavin:

Excuse me?

Katelyn:

Is this really the time, Abri? *rolls eyes*

Abri:

Sorry. That WAS kind of random. It just came out. Maybe I should've said that in private to you, Gavin.

Gavin:

*Ignoring Abri* Oh. I am not sure. What should I think of them?

Katelyn:

Just tell the truth. Okay. I'll ask another one. So, what is a question that you would want to be asked during this interview?

Abri:

Me or him?

Katelyn:

The DARLING interviewee.

Gavin:

Ask me about anything. I will decide if I want to answer it.

Katelyn:

*scowl* That's not much help.

Abri:

Ask him something about Rowyn. We haven't done that.

Katelyn:

Right. What do you think of Rowyn?

Abri:

Nice. Very creative.

Gavin:

He is a prince. I don't care much for princes. I don't even care to think about them.

Katelyn:

Hush, Abri. You probably drilled that into his head. I remember how much you were set against having Gavin as a Prince. Now, if he were not a prince, what would you think of him? As a person?

Gavin:

I am not prejudice against him, as she. I just do not care for him. I never took the time to think about him as a person.

Katelyn:

Well, start thinking.

Gavin:

*Blinks and says nothing*

A few minutes later . . .

Katelyn:

Abri, please tell your little minion to speak. How can one have an interview with one that says nothing??!?

Gavin:

Her little minion?

Abri:

My little minion? Listen. You told him to start thinking. So, he is!!!

Katelyn:

He's apparently biased since his creator dislikes princes!!!! Ahem. So, Gavin, what have you to say?

Abri:

His creator?

Gavin:

About what?

Abri:

Oh. Me. *Blushes*

Katelyn:

I was hoping you'd get that. *smirk* Gavin, what do you think of Rowyn as a person? You've had plenty time to think.

Gavin:

That was not plenty of time! I know him not as a person. I never exactly spent quality time with him.

Abri:

We should probably finish this soon. Two more questions. This is probably the least organized interview I've done yet.

Katelyn:

But . . . but, you two are like . . . brother-in-laws now! What is your job/work force exactly?

Abri:

Brother-in-laws? Ali and I are not sisters, you know.

Gavin:

I am a knight. Have the people of today forgotten what knights are?

Katelyn:

Of course I know what a knight is. Abri, I thought you said he wasn't a knight? And what are you talking about? I meant Rowyn and Gavin are brother-in-laws!

Abri:

Oh! You're talking about Rowyn! I don't remember telling you he wasn't a knight? Anyway. One more question.

Katelyn:

Um . . . what did you think of this interview?

Gavin:

I do not think it was very interesting.

Abri:

Well, thanks.

Gavin:

It is my honest opinion.

Katelyn:

*eyeroll* You should try interviewing a guy who doesn't want to talk.

Abri:

Yeah, Gavin!!!!

Katelyn:

*scowls at Gavin*

Gavin:

Thank you for this interview. Good day, ladies. *Stands up and walks away*

Katelyn:

Goodbye, Mr. Guy-who-doesn't-talk.

Abri:

Uh . . . Katelyn. He just left. He didn't hear that. Goodbye, all! *Stands up and also walks out the door*

Katelyn:

;-)

 And that was interviewing Gavin.  As you can see, he is a very hard person to interview.  Well, I hope you liked it!
     Abri, Philippians 4:13

Interviewing Rowyn, from Forbidden Love.

Hello again!  I am here, interviewing Rowyn.

     I hope you like it!

Abri:

Hello all! I am here interviewing Rowyn, the prince of Araoma. How have you been feeling lately Rowyn?

Rowyn:

Fine, indeed. And yourself?

Abri:

Very well. How are you doing, Katelyn?

Katelyn:

Can't complain.

Abri:

Uh . . . okay . . . anyway. Do you like being a prince, Rowyn?

Rowyn:

There are times when it can be taxing, but it has its benifits, like everything else.

Abri:

Taxing? What do you mean?

Rowyn:

Well, it can be tiring. You're expected to behave a certain way at all time and things you're expected to do can wear a person down.

Abri:

I see. So, do you wish you were just a normal person?

Rowyn:

There are times when I do.

Abri:

Okay. So, what did you think of Adelaide when you were in the competition with her, but you didn't know it was her? And you didn't even know she WAS a her!

Rowyn:

I admit, after the first few minutes I thought, "Finally! A worthy competitor."

Abri:

But what did you think of his- uh, her personality?

Rowyn:

Well, I didn't KNOW them, not personally, or I didn't think I did. But they were competitive, and rightly so, They were determined, and the refused to let me win.

Abri:

Them? You mean all the competitors?

Rowyn:

No, just him-- er, her.

Abri:

So when did you get a chance to speak to . . . her?

Rowyn:

Right after the competition.

Abri:

So, what did you think when she started talking about God, and things like that? I mean, I know you were catholic (as was most of the people in and around England in that time,) but what did you think of her Christian beliefs?

Rowyn:

I thought they were insane. At that time, I did not believe one could speak so personally to God. I barely believed in a God, then.

Abri:

So, you weren't exactly the most faithful catholic?

Rowyn:

No. I went solely for tradition and appearance.

Abri:

I see. And what was the first thought that went in your head when you found out she was a girl?

Rowyn:

I had just been beat by a young woman.

Abri:

*Rolls on the floor laughing* Wow. You are competitive. Isn't he Kitten?

Katelyn:

Ha, yeah. Crazily competitive.

Abri:

So, did the fact that she (A she) beat you make you like her or dislike her any more than you did before?

Rowyn:

Like her more. I respected her a great deal more after that. No competitor has ever beat me, probably more out of fear of what I would do to them should they win than anything else. But she had the courage to compete and win, regardless of what I though.

Abri:

Wow. People will actually lose on purpose because they're afraid of you? It must be awesome, yet sad being a prince. Have you ever thought of going out in disguise to see how good you actually are, without people losing on purpose?

Rowyn:

Acually, I have tried that once. I was found out, and my parents ranted about how I should be proud to be a prince.

Abri:

Wow. Well, what was it like when you saw Adelaide in the castle and realized she was the one you had shot against?

Rowyn:

I was surprised. And amazed. I was speachless for a few minutes, but after I got over the initial shock, I was . . . happy.

Abri:

:-D What was it like when you asked her to marry you, and she said no?

Katelyn:

She said no? Oh! Never mind. :P

Abri:

Because of their religions. She said she couldn't until they were on the same page. Remember?

Rowyn:

I became even more determined to marry her. She is the only person I know, besides her sister Alinor, who would say no to a prionce.

Abri:

Wow. What did you think of Ali? Did you like her almost as much as you liked Adelaide?

Rowyn:

Well, I liked her enough. She was a very sweet girl. Had a bit of trouble controling her tongue, but she was definitely a godly woman. I doubt I could like anyone as much as I 'like' Adelaide, though.

Abri:

Almost. :D How much more time do we have, Katelyn?

Katelyn:

*Glances at imaginary watch* Uh, we have a bit more.

Abri:

A bit? How many more questions?

Katelyn:

Hmm, two or three more?

Abri:

Okay. Rowyn. Do you usually treat all the servants and anybody lower than you like most princes do?

Rowyn:

No. I try to treat them like myself, most of the time. There are times when I do treat them like others do, but not often.

Abri:

I see. Um . . . I think I'm running out of questions. Kitten, you wanna ask one?

Katelyn:

Uh, sure . . . So, Rowyn, how do you like Abri's questions? :P

Rowyn:

Very nice questions.

Abri:

Katelyn!

Katelyn:

WHAT!!!!!!! I couldn't think of anything else!!!!!!

Abri:

>:-(

Katelyn:

:P

Abri:

Fine! I'll ask something! Do you like to go on hinting trips, Rowyn? Most princes do.

Rowyn:

I do enjoy an occasional HUNTING trip, yes. They put a body in touch with nature and its Creator.

Abri:

So, what did you think when you heard Adelaide (And her sister. Let's not forget her.) liked to go hunting?

Rowyn:

I found it very intriguing. Not many women like to even mention, or hear, of blood and hunting.

Abri:

I see. Well, I think we're out of time. What do you think, Kitten?

Katelyn:

Yeah, we are, from the looks of it. Thanks for coming Rowyn!

Rowyn:

You are very welcome! Blessings to you both.

Abri:

Yes, thank you for coming. And God bless you! (You too Kitten!)

     And this was Rowyn's interview.  Hope you liked it!
