I've been so wrapped up in Wicked Hunger the last month and prepping for the release of Wicked Power on May 1st, that I fear I've neglected some of my other characters. Ketchup has been stealing the spotlight lately, but I wanted to make sure Bas got an equal chance.
So, meet Sebastian Wallace from Soul Stone (Escaping Fate #2) and make your own decision on whether he's arrogant, annoying, and out to make Arra's life miserable... or something else entirely.
Please join me in welcoming Bas. He's ready to tell us more about his role in Soul Stone and why Arrabella, the girl with the dreams, apparently
can’t stand him.
Bas: How did I
know questions about Arra were coming? Silly me to think you wanted to hear
about the curse.
By all means, tell us
about the curse first. We’ll save the details about you and Arra for the end.
Bas: (shakes his
head) Okay, fine with me. I missed the whole Aztec curse, as I was overseas
visiting relatives during the summer. I really didn’t know what was going on
with Arra even after I got back until she asked me for a favor. Even then, I
wasn’t really sure what was going on, but I knew it was only the first step in
a long, weird journey. One that’s probably not ending any time soon.
If you knew that, why
did you decide to help Arra?
Bas: Why wouldn’t
I help her?
Well… because you two
don’t get along.
Bas: I get along
with Arra just fine. She just doesn’t get along with me.
So, Arra’s the
problem? Not you?
Bas: Of course
not.
So, you didn’t give
her a goose egg on her head and not apologize? Or get her phone confiscated? Or
spill her chemistry experiment? Or…
Bas: Those were
all accidents. Every single one of them.
And you wonder why
Arra doesn’t believe you. Anyway, tell us about Sibeal Ahearn, the girl who has
suddenly become the center of some very strange dreams.
Bas: Sibeal, yes,
there’s definitely something weird going on with her. Aside from her creepy reflection.
Really, she’s a nice girl. She’s pretty and smart, sweet. Under normal
circumstances, the guys probably would have been all over her.
Including you?
Bas: Well, no …
Why not?
Bas: I’m just not
interested in her like that. I mean, I want to help Arra figure out what’s
going on and make sure she doesn’t die, but not for any romantic reasons.
Who would you like to
save… for romantic reasons?
Bas: Are you trying to get me to admit something
about Arra? It’s not going to happen. I don’t know why, but I seem to bring out
the worst in her. We’re barely managing friends as it is. I just got sucked up
in all of this because she’s Tanner’s girlfriend. I’m trying to help save
Sibeal. It isn’t any more complicated than that.
Hmm, if you say so.
What if Arra has more strange dreams? Will you help her with whatever they
bring as well, or are you done after this one?
Bas: Well, just
because we aren’t that great of friends doesn’t mean I want to see her die. If
she needs my help again, she knows I’ll be there.
I’m sure she’ll be
glad to hear that. Tanner, maybe not so much.
Bas: What’s that
supposed to mean?
It looks like we’re
about out of time, Bas, so sorry. I guess it will just have to remain an
enigma, just like why the whole town of Grainer thinks you can do no wrong. So
many mysteries, and only enough room for one more question. What will the
dreams bring next?
Bas: I suppose it
would be too much to ask for it to be something good. I’m not really sure, but
Arra said something about Oracle Lost
the other day. You’ll have to ask her for more details, I was only half paying
attention because I was trying to get all of her pencils out of her backpack
without her noticing at the time.
Bas, Bas, Bas. I do
hope you know what you’re doing. Until we see you again, good luck with the
curses, and with Arra.
