That works for me if you're alright with it. Or you could do a day in the life of Annika just to get the feel for her and we can meet in the third chapter?
@ Lulie Belle Good choice, think I'm going to go with Annika for the witch! - So do you want to write the first chapter and I'll start mine based on yours or....?! :)
@ Lulie Belle That's a good idea! - And I like both names......honestly couldn't pick! (I'll leave that to you!) I love For Keeps, what about....Heart & Soul or Stolen? I'm struggling with the witches name. . . any suggestions?
We can start with the mission so we dont confuse the readers. I was thinking Acheron or Nicholai for our vamp. And I'm so bad with titles. Although we could name it For Keeps or Soul to Take.
@ Lulie Belle OK brilliant! How shall we start it? From the witches POV or the vamp on his mission to take the soul? :) (Also, we need to work out names and a title!)
@ Lulie Belle Yeh I think that's the best way forward! - Same here....I can't decide....I'm leaning towards witch, but at the same time, could happily write the vamp!
@ Lulie Belle Yes I think that's a plan! Finally! :) (That was a hell of a lot of decisions haha!) So how shall we start it? Are we doing one POV each or swapping or...?
@ Vampire's_Addiction I like that idea!!! The connection he'd have toward her for having hisback would be enough to make him snap. He'd want to help her since she proved to be trustworthy. Let's stick with that?
@ Lulie Belle Maybe he doesn't get in trouble, but does it to save her? She could be asked what made her come to the house/who told her where it was etc. she doesn't say anything, doesn't even admit that she found it on her own. When he hears that the witch has been caught he goes to see her and she tries to convince him he wants freedom, to save herself. Then he goes to the boss to apologise? as he knows that bringing outsiders here is a sin and he doesn't know that she kept it quiet? But he soon realises that the boss doesn't know it was him, which is when he get's told that they're going to have to kill the witch? For the first time ever he's found someone that will have his back (being that she didn't confess it was his fault she was here - maybe to be seen by a human is wrong?!), he feels like he owes her as she didn't tell on him, so decides to save her and therefore himself? OR, he gets in trouble for the witch being there, which is the final straw for him? (You're right, too many decisions!)
@ Vampire's_Addiction Ugh! There's so many choices! I like the idea of someone training him the best. It makes more sense for him to be trained into a hired lifestyle. Then again, I can see him getting in trouble for consorting with the witch that tracks his heart too.
@ Lulie Belle Yeh I reckon so? Unless he overhears it? Or someone he knows quite well (not a friend...but someone he speaks to) gets cagey with him, (maybe he trained him or something?) and he makes him tell him what's wrong with him and it turns out to be that the guy knows that he's leaving? Or he's punished for talking to the witch and gets told then? ?!
@ Vampire's_Addiction I like the idea of trading, but how would he find that out? It's not like the boss would just tell him. He could get caught talking to our witch and get punished very brutally for it? Or we could have her overhear the boss talking so someone about trading him to this other cruel boss, and she relays the info...That could work, right?
@ Lulie Belle That's what I'm thinking too! Just need to work out what happens when it comes to her trying to get the heart in trade for her soul....but may be best to see where the story goes? I'm trying to work out what bad thing could happen to him to push him over the edge....but I can't work out what :/ What pushes people past the breaking point...normally a break of morals/beliefs or threat against a loved one, but if he hasn't got his heart. . . he can't really love freely! Oh unless the hire guys like him are frequently sold and traded? - maybe he finds out he's about to be traded to somewhere that is known for it's brutality and horrendous conditions? - Therefore presenting the perfect time to steal his heart, whilst it's being prepared for transport?!
I think that does work. Maybe we should stick with it being her soul he steals just to narrow down those choices, and something bad should happen to him directly to push him into free will since he doesn't have control of his own heart. I'm thinking we have found and worked out our plot line!
