Q: So I can’t help
but ask you why you think your brothers are bossy. Can you explain?
but ask you why you think your brothers are bossy. Can you explain?
Daniel: Well, for
starters they’re way older than me. It’s seems like this has always been my
role with the two of them. Callon’s in charge and Colt’s always just done his
own thing… actually now that I think about it I’m really the glue that holds
this family together.

Daniel: Well, when
things started getting heated with Cheyenne I was the one who had to play the
part of referee between the two of them. It wasn’t so bad at first, but as its
has worn on it’s gotten pretty bad at times.

Daniel: Why do you
ask questions that you already know the answers to? You’re a bright and
intelligent woman, heck, you got me here didn’t you?

Q: Okay, no more
silly questions. So what about your powers?

Daniel: Nice one.

only to reappear behind me and grasp his hands around my waist. A small screech
escapes me as he jumps us outside and down the gravel driveway.*

Q: So since I’m
with you that means you can take others along for the ride too?

Q: So you just
look where you want to go and can appear there… does that sometimes cause
problems?

Q: Okay, I guess
what I’m asking is if you were in a battle and needed to help someone escape
but as far as the eye can see there are warriors, what would you do?

Daniel: Ah right…
there are flaws to this whole jumping thing. I’ve been in tight spots before
and jumped another and myself to what I thought was safety and turned out to be
more dangerous than what it would have been if I’d stayed put. I’ve learned to
try and gage it out better before jumping, but sometimes I just can’t and have
to react.

Q: We all make
mistakes.

Daniel: That was a
big one…

Q: What about
jumping into moving objects like cars, trains or perhaps a horse?
jumping into moving objects like cars, trains or perhaps a horse?
Daniel: Another
flaw… it’s really difficult and most of the time it can’t be done. Now with
that said I could be in a moving car, train or on a horse and jump off them
just fine. Well, almost just fine, as I usually end up tumbling to the ground
and getting banged up a little.

Q: Does she know
you like her?

Daniel: Probably
not, but that’s okay.
not, but that’s okay.
Ahh, the quiet ones can often be the worst can't they?
wow. you should make it longer and is he in love with cheyenne too. crazy. i love your book. and if i were you i would let cheyenne get away just to be captured and then saved. she should all not have to be with someone who lied to her.
Ah, but you are wrong… Daniel is not in love with Cheyenne too. He has another love. =) The affection they share with each other is brotherly/sisterly, nothing more.
