Run out on stage!

Run out on stage!

If I were to imagine being in your spot and being the one to release the manuscript in the first place I would feel utterly guilty as I can tell you feel in each episode. What I would do if I were in your position is run onto stage, you can get Luci to cover you, before the guard catches one of you. Admit your fault to all of the viewing audience and claim full responsibility for what you have done. State that you have been a die hard Confession fan since page one. Siona can't yell at you in front of the public audience and you have all the time you need since the guard can't run out onto stage and get you. So take your time and say the reasons you published the chapters in the first place. Don't bring anyone else into the situation. If you explain you reasoning it's up to Siona to make up her mind whether or not she wants to publish the book. Finally apologize to the fans for upsetting them and especially apologize to Siona for releasing her writing to the world before the publication date and upsetting her feelings. You can also apologize to your friends for bring them into all of the mess. Mostly just take what is coming at you with a healthy conscience. Later on if you can get one last word with Siona without any others there to listen you can choose to tell her about your vampire encounters and help her understand you more. So after all of this just make sure that Siona will at least consider still publishing the last book and apologize one last time and explaining you never meant any harm. Hope this helps, I love the series and I defiantly heart vampires.
