Love the update, but how do you get through your stories so fast?!  Not that I'm complaining of course but I started before you and I only just reached the 2nd page!  You are a really good author.

You know I was wondering the SAME thing, how come a lot of the stories are 1-2 pages and that's after weeks of entries... like Journal of Sterling Rose, I got 10 pages down no problem... Huh... I guess my entries have more writing???

I think its because you post entries more often, I usually post just every Friday with an occasional update on another day.

Wonderful update! Keep them coming I for sure won't complain lol.

Hahaha! When I read that this hasn't happened to you or Saltypaws I feel off the chair laughing! What is wrong with my game! And this was NOT part of my story!  Actually the story wasn't even going to be like this at all! But when Eve drown I was shocked and had to re-plan my WHOLE story! Eve and Grace were going to be HUGE contributors and well when they are dead they really can't...

It may be because some parts of the pool are blocked with the rocks so they can't go out (you know how sims stump their feets and can't reach something on ground, same could happen in the pool). Beside that, if they are tired or fatiqued they will drown but you'll have an hour to get them out (yelling and waving as a signal) and of course very red mood.

I'm loving this story and reading it regularly, very creative and unique set up!

Well thank you for the information! I have made another strip of land for the sim to get out of the pool... It was probably from being tired... thanks for reading!

Chapter 9: Ella Elliot
Things have gone very wrong! What is going on?A massive storm as rolled in and in looking very violent...
Mom's boss told her to stay home from work and go to a basement... We all huddled in the basement.

"Down stairs now!" Mom yelled when the ground began shaking very hard and the sky was greenish-gray that flashed black and white like strobe lights...

"Wait but I have to use the bathroom..." Joy said in a panic.
"Good grief Joy! Go, but quickly I am begging you to run!!!" Mom said almost in tears.
"No Joy don't go alone! I am coming with you!" Nola announced.
"No! I can't let you go Princess..." Mom said.
"I have been attacked by raids of warriors... I think I can handle bad weather..." Nola said and grabbed Joy's hand running off.
"Oh no!" Mom said.
"What is it?" I asked frantically.
"WHERE IS JACKSON!"
"Ummm.... Fishing! I will got get him! Stay here!" I yelled and ran out the door. The sky looking worse and worse, the ground shook more and more.

I spotted him...
"JACKKKKKKK!!!!! COME QUICK!!!" I screamed.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?" He yelled.
"I don't know just come now!" I yelled back... then it started raining fuzz

"JACK!!!" I yelled and he dropped his fishing pole and ran... The fuzz came in a wave growing farther towards us...
Jack began choking on the fluff...
"RUN!!!" I screamed trying not to inhale any of them... I began running back to the house, trying to outrun the fuzz.

Nola and Joy came running into the house followed by Jack. I needed to fix this... This was no storm it was a magic storm...
"Everyone lay down in bed..." Mom said. I laid down and pulled my magic book out from under my pillow I ducked under the covers but it was too dark to read... so I clapped and made a small ball of light, just enough to read.


I only had 1 spell in the book...  I need more!   Then words faded into the book...
To create a breathable air bubble AIRAY-TROW-CRU
how can that help? I need the witch, but I can't go out in the fuzz storm... I will choke... OHHH! I will create an air bubble and go to the mountain... Oh yeah... they left. I must go anyway, they might come back...

I tipped toed out of bed and to the front door.
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU" I whispered the opened the door... I hope this works. The fuzz was thicker this time... I held my breath as long as I could then I took a breath... and it... worked! I made it to the forest without a problem. Then I heard people talking... sounded like... the Witch! then she appeared

"Ahh the little witch is here!" The good witch said.
"What's going on!" I said
"I was just going to ask you that!"
"I don't know!" I said. Then the witch closed her eyes and shivered.
"Oh Ella what have you done!" The witch said.
"What did I do!!!?!?!?!" I screamed.
"You save a bad witches life!!!" The good witch said.
"You save the Queen witch of the Kweek Tribe!"
"I thought they were good!!!" I said...
"Oh no, no dear! They are the worst, meanest witches alive! They want to kill all good magic and rule the world, morals as their slaves! This storm is going to kill off all good magic if you don't stop it..."

"Hee Hee! Good job kido! Wanna come to the dark side?!?!? Hee hee!" The good witch's evil sister said.
"No way!" I said.

She started to yell at me...
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" The good witch boomed
"What do I do?" I asked.
"Use your spell book... We must go now the spirits are calling us back home... Save us Ella!" she said and disappeared ...

To be Continued...

[ApplesApplesApples]

Oh no! The witch was evil... I didn't see that coming.

[loveSims]

Oh no! The witch was evil? I hope Ella will find a way to save them.

Chapter 9: E.E Can she save the good magic?
I stayed up all night last night trying to find a spell to work but the book will only uncover the air bubble spell and the metal to stone spell...

Ugh come on you book! I need help! I shook the book, rubbed it like a magic lamp, hit it... nothing uncovers a spell!!! We are doomed! 

Someones coming! I threw the book under the couch and waited.


It was Joy!

"Ella! You have to fix this! We are running out of food and water! If this storm doesn't end soon we will all die! Ella please use a spell or something to fix this all!!!" Joy cried.  I was quite.
"Ella?!? ELLA!" She yelled shaking me by the shoulders. I have never seen Joy react to a situation this way. She is usually so calm and caring... now she is in a frenzy.

"I can't..." I mumbled.
"You what?" Joy said softly and sadly.
"I can't." I spoke up.
"No Ella! Please! What spells do you know?" She begged.
"I can create a ball of light, I can turn metal to stone and I can make an air bubble..." I said.
"Oh... where did you learn those?" Joy asked.
"Magic book... but the words appear, I only have those 2 spells."
"Well we have to make them work!" Joy insisted.
"How? I will be happy to cast a spell but I don't know how any of these could help!" I said.
"Oh..." She said.
"THE AIR BUBBLE!" Joy announced.
"What?" I said.
"Make a jumbo giant air bubble!!!" She said.
"That is ridiculous!" I said.
"It will work!" Joy insisted.
"Fine... I will try it, but the biggest I made an air bubble was around my face so..." I started.
"I don't care just try it!!!" Joy leaped up.
"Let me practice."   I said to Joy.
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU" I said expanding my arms to make a bubble. I kept moving my arms out and the bubble grew larger and larger until it filled the room.
"Will it work!" Joy yelled.
"I think so!" I exclaimed.
"I will gather everyone down here you go upstairs and cast your air-ray thingy!" Joy said.

I ran upstairs and waited until everyone was down stairs.
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU" I whispered. A small air bubble appeared. I expanded it over my head. Then ran outside the whispered it again as I waved my arms outward.
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU"
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU!"
"AIRAY-TROW-CRU!!!"
Louder and louder each time, the bubble grew bigger and bigger until it covered our lot, then the neighbors lot... the air bubble rapidly grew until there was no fuzz and magic storm in sight, then I threw my hands in the air so the bubble would hold...
Neighbors began running outside.  I ran inside and hid... I did it... I DID IT!!!
"ELLA YOU DID IT!" Joy said running up stairs to hug me.
"Did what?" Nola asked.
"Nothing..." Joy said with a giggle.
"Well fine... if you don't want to tell me..." Nola said. We ignored her.
The whole town was outside cheering.
We are saved...

Chapter 10: Jack Elliot
Its has been many sim-years since our last update of the family... well honestly their has been no need to update. Now is different though.

This is me 15 now... Aren't I stunning? Ha ha ha! Fishing at night on the lake... a secret spot only I know about... well only me and one other person I took her 3 years back.

Yeah... Joy hasn't changed at all. She may be 12 going on 13 soon but, she still wears the paper hat even though it is tore up and small on her head.

There is Ella... little Ella isn't so little, actually she is pretty mature for her age. She really has helped me a lot with the house work. Ella is now 10.

Ok, I know exactly what your thinking... Where's Nola!?! Well I will show you... happily.

Ok I must say she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I mean I can barely talk to her anymore because I am afraid to mess up our friendship, being friends with the PRINCESS is a privilege its self but being friends with a BEAUTIFUL princess is like winning a jackpot.

Nola has really learned a lot since she has arrived... she pumps water for us helps wash clothing, cooks cleans! She is like Eve minus the annoying sister part. 

Speaking of annoying sisters, I got two! And ever since Nola came back (Nola lived her for 3 years left for a year to spend time with her family, then game back last year.) Joy and Ella tease me about "Jackie like Nola, Jackie likes Nola!" and they sing it when me and Nola are in the same room... She just laughs and says how cute they are. I wish I could handle it like a joke but I still want to choke them and drain the red color out of my face when they sing. If you are wondering if my little sisters are correct... I will admit nothing.

[dragonsbeauty]

I feel bad for the whole family! Seems like there's hardship and heartache and every corner, but they do seem to have a lot of love=).

I'm wondering if Ella got the powers instead of Gracie because poor Geacie has so much to do she may not have even believed it of she had seen it?

Oh dear, why do i have the feeling jack may be getting the worse end of her powers=b.

looking forwards to more=).

[dragonsbeauty]

not Gracie nooooo=/

Things just keep getting stranger and stranger..

Ella is being so careless with her powers, i wish Eves' ghost had been able to help her more, i truely hope she doesn't get caught.

I am curious though Eve was a witch but Gracie was not, wonder what the purpose of taking Gracie was?

Looking forwards to more.

[dragonsbeauty]

Maybe Jack and Nola get together huh?=)

I'm still suspicious of the bad witches.

At least there have been no more deaths!

looking forwards to more=0.

Gracie didn't have powers, just Ella and Eve, all the witches in my story have E names.

Chapter 11: Joy Elliot
Currently, I am washing clothing in the lake. A little spot with a trickling creek. My laundry days are my favorite. I take breaks here an there to put my feet in my running water and race leaf boats down the creek into the lake. Well, today I let time slip effortlessly away from me. It began to get dark. Fortunately, Jack was on a fishing trip so I could sneak home without being yelled at, correction screamed at. So I gathered up my laundry and took a calm walk home watching the stars speckle the sky. Then I spotted a stir in the water. I looked across the lake, Jack! So this is where Jack is going to fish... what else does Jack do on his trips.  I sat down and watched.

I squinted to see who had run behind Jack.
"Nola!?!?" I whispered to myself... this is gonna be good! Wish Ella was here...

Gosh! I wish I knew what they were saying... Hold up! Holding hands! That is totally inappropriate.
They talked and talked... I wish I could hear them! They sat on the sand and looked at the stars. Nothing romantic...
Then Nola stood up and brushed her beautiful dress off. Then she talked more, then all of a sudden she kissed him.

Can that even happen? If the king found out about this he would kill Jack!  Oh goodness my heart, lets hope that never ever happens. Then Jack packed up the fishing stuff and Nola began her way home. I collected my things and headed home too, I don't want to leave Ella home alone for too long, who knows what kind of magical mischief she could get into!!! Then I saw Jack (across the lake) run into the bushes and hide... from what? I paused and watched.
"Princess!" A Guard boomed. Then Nola began running into the woods.
"HEY STOP! STOP HER!" A Guard yelled. Nola was barefoot and couldn't run as fast. The guards caught her by the arms and held her down. One guard took his helmet off to observe Nola.
"Nola, Nola, Nola..." He said pacing back and forth.
"What trouble have YOU gotten into since you left... No shoes, your not covered with a clock... Wait until the King hears, might put you in the cellar." The guard laughed.
"A Hefty gold prize I will receive for keeping you in order." He announced. Nola began to cry... I have never seen her cry.
"What did you do!" The helmet-less guard yelled at his two assistants. They shrugged in a panic.
"Ugh! Make her stop! If King hears you hurt her... off with your heads!" He added.
"Ow! Let go I think My ankle in inured..." Nola sobbed. The guards took their hands off her arms and backed away.
"Give me space!" Nola ordered.  They gave her too much space... Enough so she could spring up and run.
"Ha! Not so smart huh?" Nola mocked after she climbed up a tall tree like a monkey. The guards attempted to climb up but their chain mail and armor was far to heavy. Nola giggled, not injured at all.
"Leave or you die! I will tell the king what pain you put me in..." Nola laughed throwing a twig at a guard they ran off.

Go Nola!  Then Jack appeared and they walked home threw the woods. I was home with Ella... Ella had been practicing her magic, working mainly on getting objects to move around, not fly just move.   

[ApplesApplesApples]

Haha, Nola is a fun character! I've been hoping she and Jack would get together. Yay!

[loveSims]

Good for Nola! Mean old guards. The teen romance is adorable.

[dragonsbeauty]

I figured Nola and Jack would get together, i don't think it's going to be easy though.

She's pretty strong willed so maybe she can talk to her dad=).
