Double Trouble

[Isys]

My name is Shauna Neat, at least that is what the Id in my pocket says. I don't remember much just waking up here in this house that was empty, my clothes were wet and I had no shoes.



I soon got a job at a museum, it's not my dream job I think, but it is something. Recently strange things have been happening to me, people mistaking me for someone else and it is getting worse.



I wish I could just remember one thing about my life, how I got here and why I keep waking up in different places. What's happening to me? Sometimes when I wake I'll find new furniture or new clothes.




During the day my name is Shauna Neat..



But at night I am Mika Mone.

[Simstar3]

Wow! What an awesome start! I'm hooked already!~

[Isys]

Lol, you are too funny.

[Pam]

Lol, you are too funny.

She does have a bit of enthusiasm, doesn't she? 

It sounds good to me, too.  Very clever with the dual identity.  This is just a story, right?  Not a Dynasty or legacy?

[Isys]

She does have a bit of enthusiasm, doesn't she? 

It sounds good to me, too.  Very clever with the dual identity.  This is just a story, right?  Not a Dynasty or legacy?

Thanks, yes it is just a short story just for fun.

[Isys]

The dreams are getting worse, I am on a boat with lots of people we are dancing and having a good time. Then a strange man approaches me, I start to feel strange I can't describe it. Then that feeling turns to panic, I feel like I am trying to break free but I can't. Then everything changes, it's dark and wet it's so quiet I want to scream out for help but I have no voice. Then I wake up.

[Isys]

Disturbed by my dream I decided to stay home and not go to work. I was beginning to hate my job and just used this opportunity to find something else. I was daydreaming when I noticed a man walking away from my mailbox, he only glanced for a min and drove off. I was hesitant, who knew I was here or who knew me for that matter. Curious I went to check, it was an envelope with no name on it, surely it could be for anyone.



Despite my better judgment I opened the envelope, there was an address on a piece of paper. What does this mean? Confused I started looking around the house for clues, something to shed some light on what I was doing here. I tried to remember what I did lastnight but all I remember was siting here watching tv and then, well I must have fallen asleep. My boss had left several messages, I was not in the mood to confront him but I did anyway. He said that my behaviour lastnight was unacceptable!



My dream was different this time, I felt alive free. I was in a bar searching for adventure for that fire that I felt deep inside. I was approached by man, he was handsome. I knew he would fall to my charms, that he would be drawn to me. After a few moments he was mine, I felt in complete control.




Everything was moving too fast, my head was spinning, this wasn't me I am not this person. I tried to fight it but the more I fought the faster I felt like I was falling. I woke up startled confused, what happened, no not again. I was in someone else's bed!

[Isys]

Panic took over, I looked around and nothing was familiar, what am I doing here! It was then I noticed the picture on the desk, it was the man in my dreams! But that's impossible it can't be, I heard someone coming so I hid under the bed. They stood there for a moment, my heart was beating so fast and loud I was sure they heard it. As soon as they left I ran, I ran like my life depended on it and did not look back.



I was so scared that I did not notice how far I had gone. I stopped to catch my breath and cry just a little. After what seemed like a lifetime of tears I reached in my pocket to get a tissue. I pulled out that paper with the address on it, I wonder maybe there are answers here. I took the next cab I saw and asked him to take me there. He looked scared when I told him the address but took me there anyway.

When I got out of the cab he drove off so fast the tires made a horrible screeching sound as he left. I paused for a moment, this is a bad idea I should just go home. As I was thinking this I realized that I was already walking through the door. A tall slim woman greeted me, her hair cut was short and fire red. She smiled at me and welcomed me back, then proceeded to lead me down a long hallway. I looked around trying to find anything familiar, it was then that she asked me why I changed my clothes. Before I could think of an answer she stopped so suddenly that I ran into her. She motioned me to go on in, I stood there staring at this massive black and red door I almost ran but she touched my arm. Something about her was familiar and strange I suddenly felt at ease. I turned to the door and turned the handle, what happened next was something I could never be prepared for something that no one would ever believe.

[kattiq]

Ah cliff hanger!
I can't wait for the next update

[Isys]

I stood in the middle of the room, the furniture was very old and the windows were covered in red drapes that flowed all the way to the floor. But it was not the drapes or the furniture that had my heart hit the floor. It was the paintings that surrounded the room, it was me! Portraits of me with different men dressed in strange clothing. I couldn't believe my eyes I had to take a closer look, this can't be right I don't even know any of these men. As I walked closer I noticed the dates, the first portrait read 1890 Milo Evans then next was 1900 Nicholas McDonald, then 1910 James North, it kept going on and on. I had to sit down, come on think this has to be some kind of joke, someone must think this is funny. Obviously this can't be me this person hasn't aged, that is not possible. I have to get out of here as I made my way to the door I noticed that one of the drapes were slightly opened and there was a light illuminating from the wall. I was already in deep, I had to finish this I have to know who I am.

[Isys]

When I moved the curtain there was a secret door, behind the door was a set of steps. I listened closely to see if I heard anything or anyone down there. I knew better than to say hello, I wouldn't want to alert anyone that I was there. Since I didn't hear anything I quietly went down the steps. There was another long hallway, no sign that anyone was even here.





Once I reached the end of the hall there was a room, when I walked in there were two strange stones. I didn't know what to make of this who would have stones in a basement of a building? On one of the stones I noticed there was a carving it looked like writing but I couldn't make out the language but I did recognize something, my name! There it was my name carved in stone, I was in shock this is too much, what does that mean who would do this!?

[Simstar3]

She's a vampire!

[GrowerGirl]

It strikes me as a vampire style dollhouse. I just finish watching that show so I see similarities everywhere.

[Isys]

I must have looked like I had seen a ghost, the tall woman tried to stop me but I pushed her down. I don't know how I reached home so fast I just knew I was home. I immediately took a shower in attempt to out a fire I couldn't see, I tried to slow my mind down and organize what I had seen.



There must be some kind of record of those men I saw, the library must have archives or something that would give me more information. I wasn't having much luck until I came across an article, it was one of the men I seen in the portraits.

Count Nicholas McDonald to be married to a mysterious woman in June 20 1900, three days before the wedding he mysteriously vanishes his bride nowhere to be found. Rumours of strange noises coming from his manor were reported the night before his disappearance but nothing was found.

After hours of searching I found the rest of the names, each of them a Count each of them vanished before the wedding and strangely there were no pictures of the bride. I started to feel sick, something wasn't right how could there be no record of her no name no date of birth nothing.



It took me awhile to sleep I was afraid that when I woke up I would not be in my own bed or even worse wake up in that stone coffin.

[Isys]

It's happening again this time the dreams lasts longer and I am beginning to feel stronger more powerful. I still try to fight it but the need is too strong. I am waiting, waiting for my next adventure and growing impatient by the minute. But then he came in, my heart leaped I must have him it didn't take long before I had him in my sight, soon he would be just another reason to let loose be free.



But this time was different, he was not like the others what was it about him. It seemed like he was pulling me in drawing me closer to the edge daring me to jump. All of a sudden the room was empty it was just he and I together, he handed me a drink that seemed like a dream mixed with passion and sprinkled with delusion. I couldn't tell if I was flying or if he was, but soon I didn't care.



What seemed like a few minutes were actually hours, when I woke up I was in my own bed I was relieved of course but still felt a little light. I sat in my room for a long time before I moved I need answers and I need them now. This place in my dream, I had to know if it was real had to know if I was really there. I left and just started walking, I was about to give up when I noticed a dirt road hidden this is it I remember this road. Once I reached the end I realized that it was a club, it must be exclusive how would I get in. Before I could think of a way a man greeted me at the gate, he eyed me for a moment then opened it. "He's expecting you" normally I would have been freaked out but too many things have been going on that I was sure this was nothing. I was sent into one of the rooms where I waited for the host to arrive I knew from the moment he walked in the door that I knew him, he was the man from my dreams the man on the boat who I was dancing with.

"Mika, or Is is Shauna it is hard to keep track these days, ahh I see you must be confused please have a drink I will explain everything" I did what he asked I wanted to know once and for all what was happening why my dreams seemed so real who that was in the paintings. He sat across from me and stared at me for a moment. Then it began.

[Simstar3]

Wow, way too keep someone in suspense!

[Isys]

A long time ago, when I was from, it was a dark time. People were unaware of the danger that was approaching, I was a teenager then but I remember it like it was yesterday. On the hill just outside of our town was a large house it had been empty for quite some time and news had spread that a wealthy man had just purchased it and was due to arrive any day now. We had no idea what was about to happen. Rumours started to spread of strange noises coming from the hills, women going missing the towns people started to get nervous it didn't take long before they started to point fingers at the new stranger.



Soon enough the stranger came to town, we had never seen him since he arrived and everyone was curious and scared. He was, indeed, something to see. People were immediately taken by him women were in a trance he was charming and a true gentlemen. However, there was one woman who seemed to be immune to his charms, to his powers instead he was struck by her beauty.



Your mother, a human would be the first to capture the heart of, well I guess the first of our kind. Obsessed by her and furious that his attempts to make her his had failed sent him on a rage. One night your mother was walking home alone, I was leaving a friends house when I caught sight of her, I was about to ask her if I could walk with her when I saw him standing in the shadows. It all happened so fast I was so scared I ran.



People started to worry, word started to spread I couldn't tell them what I saw as I was unsure myself. It was months before there was any news about her disappearance. When your mother woke up in his manor she was no longer human, she was a creature of the night a stalker. Naturally she was furious for more reasons than he knew.

[Simstar3]

Isn't this picture from The Sims 2? I love the story, by the way, it's awesome!

[Isys]

Because of her rage and new powers your mother was unable to control herself, and he was unable to control her. She took it out on the towns people and soon other towns nearby. I, was one of her victims, it wasn't long before the people started to gather and headed towards the manor to rid themselves of the evil that had taken over.



There were a lot of screams that night, but none so distinct as the baby that she gave birth to in a cottage just behind the manor. Your mother was pregnant when she was, well, taken.

He looked at me in a strange way, I felt uncomfortable he then got up and stood by the window I wanted him to continue to finish the story. Was I a creature of the night is this what it's all about? And just as if he read my mind he answered.

No it is not that simple, after your mother died the stranger took you and vanished, no one knew she had even had a child. I followed and waited till you were older, I needed to know. Your mother knew they would come for her and made me promise I would look after you and not to let you become what she had.



He then turned to me, I felt a shiver felt light headed suddenly I couldn't breathe my heart started to beat faster. What's happening to me?

Don't worry it will all be clear soon, I've waited my whole life for you soon we will be together Mika.

[Isys]

Isn't this picture from The Sims 2? I love the story, by the way, it's awesome!

Yeah I needed pictures that weren't related to any story I was doing but ones that would fit in with his story. Thank you internet lol, the pictures however are all different sizes I don't know how to fix that so I'll work on it.

Please excuse the current pictures hope you enjoy the story.

[kattiq]

This is getting more and more interesting every update!

[Isys]

*Due to the fact I am not by my picture producing computer, and that it may be difficult to get images that coincide with this segment, it will not have any. However the following segments will have pictures.

Imagine you are in a state between sleep and awake the stage just before you fall asleep, also remember a time where you were too tired to even move. Now let the story begin.

(distant whisper) Mikaaaa Mikaaaa

I couldn't move, I was stuck in some kind of fog, NO it's Shauna my name is Shauna I am not her I can't be! I tried to focus tried to get a grip I even slapped myself in hopes that I was dreaming once again and I would wake up once and for all.

(distant whisper) Come Mikaaa, let go, just let go

Let go of what I don't understand who are you? And without warning a figure just materialized before my eyes and what was a sea of fog was now a blazing city. People were running and screaming, a woman grabbed her child and tried to escape but they were after her. I started running after her I felt that I must help her. I followed her to a small alley, she was crying and holding her baby, my heart weakened. The mob soon found her but she had hidden the child before they caught her. The leader and older man approached her, he stared at her for a moment, I held my breath and he struck her! I screamed out and they took her away.

(distant whisper) Wait

I stood there looking in the place where she left the baby, I walked towards the spot and stopped. There was a man standing where the baby had been. He was looking at me I was locked in the gaze he smiled at me and picked up the baby and then vanished just like that. I ran out of the alley in hopes that I could find the woman I didn't have to go too far I could hear her screaming. I stopped running when I reached the center of where I had first seen her, there she was tied to a stone coffin, it looked just like the one I had seen in that building. I walked closer to her I need to see her face she turned to face me she knew I was coming.

(distant whisper) Go, don't be afraid

I stood beside her staring at my own reflection a splitting image of myself, she smiled at me and without moving her lips I could hear her.

Mika, I've been waiting for this day for so long I am sorry I was not able to be there to explain what is happening but it will be ok. You are the first of your kind unique. You are not like the rest of us and because of that many will be after you, will want you. You must not let them sway you, do not drink from the cup.

What does that even mean what cup?! I didn't realize that the people had become quiet and the sun started to come up, they stood and waited but for what. Suddenly she burst into flames her eyes still on me as she reached out her hand, automatically I took it tears falling down my face as I watched her turn to ashes and was gone.

(distant whisper) It's time

[chrissie]

Wow! What a good writer you are. The build-up of tension had me holding my breath. More soon please.

[Simstar3]

Wow! What suspense!

[Isys]

Wow! What a good writer you are. The build-up of tension had me holding my breath. More soon please.

Thanks for the support, I love when things keep you up in the air, it gives you a chance to think about it and try to figure out what's next. I love a good "AHHA I knew it" moment.

[Isys]

Wow! What suspense!

Hold on to your chairs it only gets better, sadly though, it is a short story but I do have a twist up my sleeve.

[kattiq]

I love a good "AHHA I knew it" moment.

Me too!! I loved your new update.

[Isys]

* Ok so my game keeps crashing so it was hard to get correct pictures and play my game without wanting to throw it out the window. They are not exactly what I was shooting for but her goes nothing.

I was too afraid to open my eyes so much has happened in the last week that I was more confused than the day I woke up without any shoes or any idea who I was. I was aware that my host was still standing over me, and also aware that he may be able to hear my thoughts. I'm ready I thought, to know.



As I lay there he finished what he started.

I've been watching you, following you trying to protect you from the others, I didn't expect to fall in love with you. You are so much like your mother it was hard to stay away. You had settled in a small house on the other side of the island, you made a life there and seemed happy, that was until you fell in love with a married man. Unable to stay away from you he decided he was going to leave his wife and marry you start a family. He told you to meet him at his house so that the two of you could confront her together, explain your love.

But when you got there it was not what you expected, I couldn't let you be with him so I turned him and his wife. Jealousy had a hold of me and I couldn't see past what I wanted. You became enraged irrational understandably to see the man you love now a creature of the night. You walked up to him and stabbed him in the heart then turned around and did the same to his wife. It was at that moment you assumed a new name her name Shauna Neat.



No this can't be true, that would mean that I never aged, that I have lived lifetimes. I got up and ran to the bathroom I suddenly felt sick, my host was right outside the door when I came out. I started to think about the two stone coffins that were in the building, and the portraits with all those men.

You became disruptive starting dating rich men leading them on for your own pleasure then when they started to notice you were not aging well I stepped in. I would say I'm sorry, but that would be a lie Mika.



So the coffin isn't for me, it's her and the one next to it, that's the man I loved. I started to shake fury began to build up as I started to remember how he would turn every man I got close to, how he would follow me to every town I went. That is what I was doing on the boat trying to escape I had changed my hair and my clothes. There were a lot of people we were coming here but something went wrong, I started to back away from him. I felt the fire I had been trying to suppress grow wild, he tried to turn me bit me but something happened. I shook my head and looked at him he was holding a cup.



You are part human and part of us but you don't need to hide in the day, you don't thirst for plasma but for passion. Your powers and faster and greater. Be with me Mika before it's too late, he is coming for you it's the only way.



I screamed my body felt like it was on fire, I crumpled to the ground trying to hold on to reality but I knew, I knew it was true I am Mika I am the queen of the night. When I got up I was no longer Shauna Neat, I turned to my host.

"Don't try to find me and you can tell whoever is coming I'll be waiting"

[Isys]

Sinners Prologue

I grew up in a small house just outside of the city, my mother was a waitress at some dive across the bridge. I never knew my father, he left us just after I was born. My mother did the best she could to raise me but soon life just got too hard for her. When I was thirteen she vanished, for 6 years I thought she abandoned me leaving me to live on the streets like a rat. I had to learn how to defend myself, I used my anger to survive trained myself not to be seen or heard. Stealing what I could using who I can to survive.



 In the streets you couldn't trust no one it was live or let die. One night I was sleeping under the bridge, I had made a hide out there just inside the concrete that water had slowly deteriorated, a woman was arguing with what seemed like her lover. I don't like to get involved in domestic affairs, they never end well for either involved but something about this situation made me uneasy. I kept an eye and ear out and was not surprised when he started to grab her, before he knew it my fists met his face. I couldn't stop myself, like I said it never ends well. Fear was in her eyes, disbelief in mine, I ran leaving her crying over his body that was now still.



 That was the first time I killed a man but it was not the last. Now I am 25 no longer on the streets but still no place to call home, my skills now extended in the matters of armed combat anger still on my side. I can't help but to wonder where she went, why she left me, I go back sometimes to look for her. Maybe she came back for me, maybe there was still time, but for now I have to finish what I was hired to do. They call me Exodus a name many in this business know and many fear.

[Isys]

Creative Note:

I am actually playing these characters that are in the story, so it takes time to get pictures as I am trying to fulfill their ltw. That being said, the character in the next short story I will also be playing.

It may seem a little violent, but I assure you the story is not so, I will be working along with the game play of the sims three and using the game play as reference to anything that is mentioned in the story.

I urge you to read on as you won't be disappointed and don't worry, it's not over yet. It may seem like it is going nowhere but there is a point.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you will keep following.

side note: My computers keep crashing so there won't be another update today unless it behaves in the next few hours. Also I have no idea why that picture was posted 3 times since I did not post it more than once. I just left it in I had no other pictures to contribute to that aspect of the story.

[Simstar3]

Like I said, this is an amazing story.

[Isys]

Like I said, this is an amazing story.

Smooches luv thanks for your support, I hope you keep reading. Ta Ta.

And of course I'm participating in the challenges so my dynasty is on the back burner But for you I might squeeze in a little update soon when I get back

[Isys]

* I will have to do half and half with this story, so some will have pictures and others won't. What I will do is part 1 won't have pics but part 2 will and so on. Due to the fact I am experiencing some serious insomnia here is part one. Enjoy!

Part 1

It was 12pm my contact wanted to meet at the movie studio, strange place to want to meet a hired gun. I arrived an hour early so I could check out the place, see what kind of people came in and out of there. My contact pulled up in a busted old car just behind mine, they stepped out and made their way towards me. It was hard to tell what they looked like, they were covered from head to toe in all black. They came to my side of the window and slid an envelope through the space I had left open, then they went back to the car and drove off.

I kept my eye on the car until I could no longer see it then drove in the same direction I had seen them go. Just a few miles down the street I saw the same car, abandoned in front of the park engine still running. I continued to drive without stopping. Finally I parked two blocks away from the apartment I was “renting”. I walked around the block for half an hour checking behind me through the reflections of the glass in stores and shops making sure I was not being followed. When I was satisfied I entered the building, and took the elevator to the 26th floor, the building was old paint was pealing from the walls leaving spots of a dull yellow and pea green here and there.

I am always on edge, never able to relax one day I just want a normal life. But right now that is not possible, I don't have enough money. After a long shower I grabbed some left over pasta out of the fridge and turned on the tv, same old thing more deaths and disappearances. I turned down the tv and tried to relax, a good night's sleep is a commodity I can't afford. When you have been living on the streets you learned that if you are going to close your eyes you may never open them again.

 The florescent lights from the next building gave the apartment a cheap look, the kind that suggested bums and drifters lived here. I don't know when I drifted off but I found myself at the house I grew up, my mom was in the living room arguing on the phone. She was startled when she saw me standing in the doorway but soon put on a smile and sent me back to bed.  I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing there was a message. “funds deposited” , I took a deep breath  and made my way back into the kitchen.

On my way I knocked  over my jacket and the envelope fell on the floor I picked it up and tossed it on the table. The nights sky was clear, the kind of evening that smelt like trouble. I finally sat at the table and opened the envelope,in it was a picture of a woman along with information. She was beautiful, but not the kind of beauty that was obvious, I turned on the light so I could get a better view. Her eyes captured me, it had a sense of innocence and danger about them, something that told me that everything was about to change.

 I put the picture down and glanced at the information :Mika Mone, no known address or job location usual hang out Plasma on 3rd and Saxx. I know what you are thinking, but in my line of work no one can be trusted and anyone can take you down at anytime. Tomorrow might find me outside of Plasma, before business hours, I like to know my way in and out in case things go bad. Right now I am going to need some supplies.

[Isys]

I'm not gonna be able to update the Churchills until the Weekend. Stupid fact that school started yesterday!

Don't worry I can wait for a good story, enjoy school now when you look back it will be one of the best times you had, but definitely not the only times.

[Isys]

@kattiq Yay! and boo at the same time, lol.

[Isys]

Part 2

The club was popular, I parked outside and waited to see if she showed up. For several nights I camped outside of the club until one night I saw her.





She was even more beautiful than the picture could have captured. I watched her approach the building she paused for a moment and turned her head slightly, if I didn't know better I would think that she knew I was watching.



When she went in the club I checked my watch, obviously I am not going to go in there, there is no way of me knowing who she had with her so I waited. 4 hours later she emerged from the building she made a left and started walking, I got out my car and followed her. She had a glide in her step as if she never touched the ground, you should never get attached to the target that was the rule one that I never had trouble following.



She turned up the street and headed towards the park, I looked around checked behind me to make sure no one else was there.  I slowly entered the park instead of walking on the path I walked on the grass and between the trees. The lights were out so the moon gave it a mysterious blue glow, one that made every shadow ire and dark. The air was still and I noticed that there was no sound, not even a cricket or the hum of electricity.



 I paused by a park bench trying to adjust my eyes and my ears, I heard movement by the nearby bush so I hid behind a large oak tree. There she was just standing there under the moonlight, her skin glowed and her eyes were fixed on my position.




I stepped out from behind the tree, she smiled at me the kind of smile that was mysterious and sly. I was so mesmerized by her that I didn't hear the person behind me I only felt the blow to my head and then all was dark.

[Isys]

Part 3

When I woke up she was gone and it was daylight. I was angry with myself , this has never happened to me before and it won't happen again. When I got back to the apartment there was a note on my door, I looked around but did not see anyone. Disturbed by this I went inside and slammed the door, I went to the window to check to see if anyone was watching the building then I searched the apartment.

When I was done I read the note.  “It takes two to tango, you should be more careful and learn the steps”. I crumpled up the note and threw it in the garbage then started to pack my stuff. It was time to “rent” another place. I made my way to the other end of town where it was less populated, I had noticed an abandoned house a few days back while I was making my escape route.

 As usual I parked on the next street away from the house, when I got inside I set up my laptop and put my phone on the table. I then packed some food in the fridge and headed for the shower. I couldn't get her out of my head the way she moved the look in her eyes. She could have killed me so why didn't she, and why do they want her out of the picture?

I pulled on some sweat pants and a t-shirt and opened my laptop, I decided to do some research of my own. Luckily for me I had a lot of contacts so it shouldn't be hard to find some kind of paper trail on her. If you ever need to find someone or need information Omniscient would know, we just call him Omni for short.

 I picked up my disposable cell phone and dialled his number. “Exodus it has been a long time what do you need?” “I need information, as much as you can get in 24 hrs” there was a silence before he spoke again “The usual?” “Yes, plus extra”  “How bad?” I paused for a moment and took out the picture “Like a heart attack”. I hung up the phone and started a new search engine, Lola Greene, and pressed enter.

[Isys]

Creative Note:

The characters name Exodus is a religious reference, but I am not squeezing in any beliefs it was just fitting for the type of job that he does.

Omniscient is Latin for know it all,  Omni meaning all and scient meaning to know, which is fitting for what he does, a connoisseur of information.

In case you are wondering what kind of job Exodus has in the game it is super spy so it kind of goes with what he is suppose to be doing in the game (kind of).

Miss Mika has no job, she is working on skills at  the moment for a more important aspect of the story.

That's all for now ciao.

Great update!

LOL, I did read your comment a long time ago you are so funny, I didn't comment because you would have thought there was a new update. But now I will release the next segment, it took me so long because my computer had a major fit and crashed on me and wouldn't let me play that family. Le sigh, anyway here we go.

Part 4

It was another sleepless night I needed to work off the edge so I looked up the local gym. It wasn't too far in the city and I needed a distraction. Instead of driving I decided to jog, it had been a long time since I worked out and the fresh air would do me some good. Half hour later I reached the gym, I didn't expect it to be so busy, I don't know why it's a city I should have known better. Part of me was hoping to see her but the better part of me knew that wouldn't be a good idea.



After I had finished using the machine I went to the bathroom, I noticed that the woman on the machine was watching me from the reflection on the window. It was too early to tell if she was a threat or just interested.




 I exited out the other doors that lead into the common room I guess this is where the woman do cardio, I needed to be sure that she was watching me. It wasn't long before she stopped working out and made like she was getting a drink but in the corner of her eye she was on me. I nodded to her and she smiled motioned for me to follow her, I stayed at least 5 steps behind her and kept an eye out for any surprises.




We ended up in the elevator and went up to the next level where there was a pool.



 She asked me if I like to swim and without warning took off her clothes and jumped in. She started to ask me questions in between laps, I tried to answer them as honestly as I could without getting too involved. Just out of sheer curiosity I asked her if she knew Mika Mone, she immediately tensed and jumped out of the pool. Was it something I said, I tried to get it out of her but she just told me to stay away from her and ran off.  I took a quick shower and walked over to bistro, when I was a kid my mom would take me here on my birthday. She would tell me that they make special cakes here so special that they made good boys stronger with every bite. I ordered the cake, I would like to think that I still had a little bit of good in me, now a days that was questionable.

Part 5

[buzz buzz]  I groaned as I fumbled to find my phone, my eyes were burning and sticking together it was hard to focus. Once I found it, it was only a text message with a file attached, it was from Omni. I downloaded the file and read the message whatever you are in, get out now. I groaned some more and rubbed the spot where I was hit a few days ago in the park. What is up with this girl? While I waited for the file to download I went to the bathroom, it was then I smelt it the scent of lavender and vanilla. I turned off the pipe and stood at the door, there she was in my living room sitting on the chair with her legs crossed. She just stared at me not moving not saying anything, and I returned the favour, she eased out of the chair slowly her eyes still on me. I remember the last time I had this kind of encounter with her I got a bump for my troubles. I heard a noise just outside the window and I took my eyes off her for a second when I looked back she was gone! I couldn't be dreaming, I know she was there her scent still lingered in the room. I must have had way too much cake, the sugar has gone to my head, I turned on all the lights and searched every inch of the house. How did she know I was here? After a full fledged search I returned to my room my phone was gone! Along with the information it contained.

The next morning found me in a foul mood, I had errands to run and a new phone to buy. I stopped by the grocery store that was also a bookstore. I must have been in my own world because I knocked over a lady’s basket, I apologized and helped her pick up the items. She was cute, she wore glasses and a white shirt, she had a nice smile and a soft voice. “Oh I'm so clumsy I hope I didn't mess up your shirt?”




I shook my head, strange I have been here for awhile and I have never seen her before. “Oh I’m so rude my name is Shauna” she smiled a big smile and extended her hand, she had slender fingers her skin was perfect. I still couldn't say anything I was conflicted. “oh the strong silent type, I get it well if you are ever hungry, I work at the diner you should stop by sometime still nothing was coming out of my mouth I just stood there, something was familiar I just couldn't put my finger on it.




I forgot why I was even in the grocery store in the first place and left without whatever it was I was suppose to get. After I got a new phone I had to get in contact with Omni so he could re send the information I could already tell this was going to be a long day.

Part 6

Three days had passed and there was no sign of her, no one wanted to talk and it seemed like I was heading for a dead end. Hungry, I stopped at a bistro on 22nd street, it was a small place that reminded me of a French restaurant I had visited last year. While I was waiting a familiar voice interrupted my train of thought. It was the girl from the market she was smiling when she asked me if there was anything else.




I found myself speechless once again, “oh still playing the strong silent type huh?, well may I join you or are you waiting for someone special?” I motioned for her to sit and watched her closely, I could tell she was also evaluating me from the corner of her eye.




Several hours had passed as Shauna and I talked about almost everything it had been a long time since I have had a meaningful conversation with a woman, well anyone for that matter.




Soon enough she invited me to her place for dinner I was reluctant to accept but a nice home cooked meal was harder to pass up than I thought. She handed me her address in what was the most skillful script writing I had ever seen, smiled then gave me a hug." See you".




At 8pm I arrived at her house just up the hill, she had already had dinner made and was waiting for me. We ate sushi and talked about world travel, it seems that she has been to a lot of places, France Egypt China I noticed how some of her decor represented that.



I kept most of the conversation centered around her as I did not want to be distracted from what I came to this city to do. She opened up a 6 year old bottle of wine and we sat and watched old movies, suddenly I was startled by the buzzing of my phone, I don't know when we fell asleep or how I even got in her bed.




 It was Omni he wanted to talk.

[Chopsticks]

Your killing me with your suspense!

[SassySimmer]

Can't wait for the next up date 

[Isys]

Part 7

It was not my intention for Shauna and I to be this close, before I knew it we were dating. She had a weird sense of humour and loved to be anywhere but inside. I found myself at times letting my guard down but I couldn't afford to do that not fully. Sometimes when we were together I noticed that she was a little distant, I would ask her what's on her mind but she would just put on a smile and change the subject just like my mother would do.



One night she asked me a question, she asked what if one day she was gone or I found out that we could never be together. I wasn't sure if there was a right answer to that question so I asked her if there was something she wanted to tell me. She told me she had to take a trip somewhere, she would be gone a week and would call me when she returned. I tried to ask where she was going but she just said it was a business matter she had been putting off.

The next day found me back at my place, I logged on to my computer and downloaded the information I got from Omni. There were several references to a Mika Mone that dated back to well before I was even born or thought of. That was impossible, they must be ancestors, there were no known photos of her and every man that was involved had mysteriously vanished. Ok there must be a good explanation, this information can't be right. This time I was more determined to get to the truth no matter the cost, for several nights I woke up in a cold sweat because of dreams of her doing the strangest thing to me. To even say it out loud is just ridiculous, sometimes Shauna would be looking at me when I woke she always had a concerned look on her face but never asked me what my dreams were about.

 I drove around the city hoping that I would have happen to run into her, it was while I was making a left turn I noticed that someone was following me. A few rights and a left confirmed my suspicions and it was now a high speed chase.



 Knocking over several mailboxes and nearly running over several people I took the chase to the bridge heading out of town.


 
This guy was persistent, I could tell that this was going to get ugly fast, distracted I didn't notice the pot hole in the road and swerved my car hit the rail and sent me flying onto the cement. Stricken with pain I struggled to get myself together before my assailant got to me, sweat dripping down my face I struggled to get up.



The car stopped just a few feet away from me, I stood ground as best as I could ready for what was about to come next, but what happened was not what I expected.

[Isys]

Part 8

It was Mika Mone! I couldn't believe it, why I started running I don't know but I had to get off the main road. She chased me with incredible speed for a girl as I struggled to get my legs moving, I stumbled down a hill onto a grassy field I quickly got up to find her standing in front of me.

 Don't make me do this!” I was confused what have I done and how does she keep finding me? I could see in her eyes she was conflicted I tried to talk her down but she wasn't listening, soon it was like she wasn't even there anymore" I'm sorry" before I could even evaluate what she was sorry for she attacked me.



It was now a battle a battle to the end one of us was not going to make it. I was sure I would have been able to take her down but she had unusual strength. I was taught never to hit a girl but she was making this hard to follow, instead I tried defensive strikes rather than ones that would hurt.



But she did not do me that favour, each attack was one of lover who has been hurt. Did I know her, why so much fury, I tried to run but she cornered me with more strikes, my eyes burned I couldn't see.






 I am not sure what happened but I could swear she bit me but  before I could look the fire that followed knocked me out,  soon it was dark soon there was nothing.




 "I'm sorry, but you have to stop this, it's the only way don't you see he will find you kill you. If you only knew I wish I could tell you, the truth and also (pause) the future, your child's future".

Yes it is cruel to end the story there but it is the end, I have to work on well the major part of the story I am playing. If you are curious enough I'll post pictures after I start the next part of my story.

I hope you enjoyed reading and feel free to leave your comments or requests for an update as to what happened to Mika or Exodus. I'll be happy to fill you in.

[Simstar3]

Oh, wow! What an amazing story! I do have a couple questions, though.
1. At what point did the story's PoV change?
2. Did Exodus know Mika and Shawna were the same person?
3. What traits did the characters have in game?

[kattiq]

Awesome update!! I can't wait to read more

[Simstar3]

Uhm... Isys said that was the end.

The end of Mika's story was when she was at the vampire's club and he told her the story about how she came to be, then Exodus's story started.

No he did not know they were the same person, you know what they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Mika's traits were, flirty, great kisser, perceptive, perfectionist, hopeless romantic
Shawna's were, family oriented, good sense of humour, charismatic, natural cook, genius
Exodus's were, hot headed, perceptive, athletic, charismatic, brave

[Isys]

Awesome update!! I can't wait to read more

Lol thanks, the story does go on in my game play I won't have anymore posted stories about that story because there is a bigger story I am trying to break out so I have to work on it. Then i'll post what happened in order to start the other part of my master plan.

[Isys]

Exciting news, as you all know the ending of the story implied that Exodus will be a father, well Shauna aka Mika is pregnant! I'm so excited now the story can begin.

It will be called Trying To Be Shauna Neat. It will be on it's own post so a whole new story and I will explain what happened after the fight. Hope you continue to read on, see you on the next post.

ETA: Monday or Tuesday.
