Ok I’m not 100% convinced with the interrogation scene I wrote. I think that will be something I revisit in revision. There are parts I like, parts that I worry don’t pass the logic test, and parts that I’m unsure whether it’s correct characterisation. I mean I 100% think that Helen could be that ruthless but I don’t know.

Anyway, I had another think today about all the Oxford flashbacks I still want to weave in and I decided on the POV for them. I actually don’t think it’s going to be as hard as I thought because I need them to start thinking in the direction of their relationship. They are fighting it because they’ve running from their feelings for over a century. I think that’s why I’m struggling to get to it.

Right so tomorrow I think we have to make a return to Helen’s office *sniggers* I know, I know, we were trapped in there for most of a week at the start of the month but it’s necessary. They need to discuss the information they got from Kate and form an attack plan. After that? Well I think it’s time these poor characters got some sleep, they’ve been up over 48 hours. I know source blood enhanced stamina but still they did die, that has to take it out of you.

So James alone in his room, struggling to sleep because his mind doesn’t switch off, he starts thinking about John and Helen and then flashback to the first time they meet Helen at Oxford. Technically that comes after the flashback where John and James get together but it’s the beginnings of The Five so it makes more sense to me to do it first. I don’t know, I can always alter it in revision.
