What are your favourite storylines to play?Smile

Mine is currently a young woman that got pregnant, her parents told her to get married (it's set in the 70s) she married him thinking she loved him but he didn't want kids and so he had an affair throughout their marriage, they had three kids and one day he accused her of cheating but she would never do that and they had a huge argument she accused him of his affair with a barmaid and he ended up dead in the kitchen. She ended up remarrying to a vicar and no one would accuse a vicars wife of murder...a rather evil woman beneath the surface!

Sorry the picture doesn't show it clearly, but that poor guy looked really desperate.

Well, that's the downside of when your father is the father of every one in town. I haven't found out about the upside yet.
Anyway, that's him:

[Image: 411BRW9.jpg]
David, father of everyone

He's the oldest son of the family from one of my old Sims 1 games. When I got bored of Sims 1 and moved to Sims 2, I recreated that family - and the rest of the neighbourhood - so I could keep my favourite sims. David is definitely one of my favourites, though I would probably not like him too much in real life...

But let's start with how the story began in TS1. (I'll add the original pictures as soon as I find out how to extract them.)

There was this adorable young couple, Elin and Philip.
[Image: w5Qxv40.jpg]

Elin went to work on her music career while Philip stayed at home and made enough friends so his wife kept getting promotions.
They became pretty rich and didn't have children, so the orphanage (or whoever gives away free kids Dunno ) called twice to convince them of adopting.
They adopted David, then another boy called Tim.
After Tim, they had their first (and last) biological child, a girl called Eva.
Meanwhile, Philip started to get along too well with one of the friends he made. This friend happened to be the neighour's wife, and her name was Bella Goth.
(Well, actually her name was Julia von Spinnweb. Stupid translation.)
Philip and Julia started an affair. He repeatedly asked her to marry him but she kept saying no.
So I drowned her husband.
[Image: 2oldIjS.jpg]

She said yes after that.
Julia and Cassandra moved in. Cassandra and her new step siblings got along great, and after a while, Elin got over it.
[Image: mh02f04.jpg]

Julia and Philip had a girl together, Melissa, making the household full with 3 adults and 5 kids.
[Image: rrzXY0Q.jpg]

Elin found a new love, too. He was called Leroy.
But neither of them could ask the other to marry them, because Leroy's household was also full...
...that was when I moved the entire neighbourhood to TS2.

A lot has happened since then. Cassandra, Tim and Philip are old by now, Julia just died, and Elin has her 17th grandchild on the way. But well. More of that tomorrow.

At the end of this post, enjoy this picture of a murdering snowman:

The Black Lady

[Image: o0doBeN.jpg]

The Black Lady was scared. As she left her bedroom for her regular walk around the house, she looked back over her shoulder, but only to discover that no one was here. But they were there somewhere, she did not need to see them to know. They were here, they were inside her house, and they wanted to kill her.
[Image: VhewGdQ.jpg]

Around the corner and down the stairs she went, just like she did every night. When she saw two of them waiting for her at the end of the hall, starring at her across the dining room, her heart stopped, but only for a second. They couldn't hurt her as long as there were two of them, she remembered, for none of them would try to kill her in front of witnesses. As long as she was seen, she was save.
[Image: EzkLYoz.jpg]

The Black Lady left the hall with the staircase and entered the Butler's Room. Although no Butler had stayed here for over 30 years, leaving the room empty, she still secretly called it that in her head, remembering the good old times when she had still been a little girl playing around her parents' house. But her parents were long gone, vanished without a trace, and the Lady owned the old scary house on her own now.
[Image: u8WjjQ7.jpg]

It didn't really scare her, though. Not at day, at least. The Black Lady had grown up here, knew every corner and every step of the building better than anyone ever had. But still, the nights... the nights were different. At night, THEY came.
[Image: QLlef2Q.jpg]

She stepped out a back door into the fresh, cold air of the night and took the direct path through the hedge maze towards the front door. Though she felt save there between all the dark greens, she knew she couldn't stay. She had to finish her walk around the house. One round, at least, just to make sure everything was all right.
[Image: njTKn9c.jpg]

As the Lady left the maze, she glimpsed one of them across the yard, waiting for her in the greenhouse.
[Image: xolhKty.jpg]

It was the scary kid, she realised, and he had seen her too, but as soon as he stepped out into the yard she was save behind the front door.
[Image: x4raW9A.jpg]

In the entrance hall, she gave herself some time to stop and have a rest. That was a mistake. One of them, the red one, had been waiting here for her, a knife in his hand.
[Image: u0MpYOW.jpg]

A scream stuck in the Lady's throat, but just as she thought her time had come, another one of them entered the dining room. Across the hall, the eyes of the two assassins met, leaving the red one cursing. The Black Lady was saved for once, but she knew it wouldn't last long. None of them ment her good, and even if they saved her from each other some times, it was only because every one of them wanted to be the very one to kill her.
[Image: 5uQoDR3.jpg]

Still, she could use their rivalry to her advantage. Though the Lady knew they were only playing false on her when pretending to help her, they didn't need to know that she knew. When the fourth of them called her from the hall with the second staircase, promising not to harm her, she walked right towards him, smiling, just to slip through the kitchen door right when he thought he'd tricked her to follow him.
[Image: zn14heb.jpg]

From her save place in the kitchen, she watched him leave in frustration...
[Image: 3qM9frt.jpg]

...just to realise her save place wasn't so save after all. The red one was back. It seemed like he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How did he manage to get here so fast?
[Image: 9GmQ51v.jpg]

It didn't really matter any more. "What kind of person dresses all in red?", she wondered, but that didn't really matter now either. None of it mattered now, actually, nothing but the knife in his hand, her last desperate scream and the sudden darkness all around her.
[Image: FbFebwW.png]

[Image: oP53aBu.jpg]

"Dammit, Dave won again!" Trisha called out in frustration, scattering her cards all over the floor. "Stupid teleport cards", Johnny complained. "Why do YOU always have them, anyway?" Dave just smiled, picked up his sister's cards from the floor, and rearranged the board for a new round.
[Image: 7Ody5Le.jpg]

"May I join you guys?" Libby asked as she entered the room. "I love 'The Black Lady!'" "Sure, you can be the white one", Phil said, pointing at the only pawn left in the box. "Bah, I hate that color", Libby complained, but she sat down anyway.
[Image: KrxJHNg.jpg]

The Lady woke up to find herself not in her bedroom, but on the small corridor that looked down on the dining room.
[Image: G49yH3b.jpg]

"Actually, white is not a color, it's a shade", a voice whispered in her head, like a memory from a dream half forgotten. How did she get here? Had she been walking in her sleep again? Was she asleep even now, dreaming? But when she looked down the dining room and the entrance hall all the way to the front door, she saw them, and knew she wasn't dreaming. This was real, and they were coming to get her.

1. To recreate my Sims 2 legacy in which my favourite sim, Vanessa Valentine, was immortal and had a massively multi-generation family with a family tree that would scramble the brains of the best genealogists.

2. To be extremely strict with myself and only ever roll the dice to let the game choose the traits of the children. The temptation to engineer "nice" sims or ones with useful traits is very strong in me, so this is hard work! But rolling the dice does result in some interesting personalities and if I hate the way the kids turn out I can always kick them out, right? Diablo

3. To have fun and not worry about the story going in any particular direction. I just see how it goes.

She's very familiar to me but perhaps unknown to you, so may I introduce you to the lovely Vanessa.

[Image: Intro_Vanessa.jpg]


In TS2 Vanessa was addicted to that green drink you got in a water cooler-type dispenser as a lifetime reward and that is how she remained immortal while many generations of her family grew old and died. It was a slightly dark tale of drug addiction but never mind! In TS3 I keep her going by making ambrosia and eating life fruits - so she's still an addict but now it all seems a lot more wholesome, being fuelled by sparkly quiche and fresh fruit.

Her traits are as follows.

[Image: Traits_Vanessa.png]


She's essentially a rock chick and a man-magnet, which happily makes it relatively straightforward to keep the offspring springing off. Her normal career is in music but at the moment I have temporarily shifted her into culinary so she can get that super fridge that I always covet.

So far she has had two children and yes I rolled the dice for their traits so they can turn out any way the game decides.

The oldest became a teen just yesterday and here she is: the slightly gawky (she will grow out of it) and spud-faced (she may not grow out of that) Victoria.

[Image: Intro_Victoria.jpg]


Her traits so far are, I think, utterly ridiculous.

[Image: Traits_Victoria.png]


Being "disciplined" is not particularly useful unless you are going to practise martial arts, which is just terrific (I can tell you from personal experience!) when combined with being "clumsy". Ah, the impressiveness of the bruises that may be collected! The trouble with being a disciplined sim is that it is otherwise useless and, as far as I can judge, being clumsy just makes them stumble occasionally or get stuck trying to open a drawer. There should be a lot more falling over!

"Natural cook" is much more useful and makes her take after her mother and "eccentric" I can live with as I don't often play inventor sims so that will give me an opportunity to check that out a bit more.

What I did find surprising was that as soon as she aged up to teen, Victoria immediately expressed her attraction to some other girls. This is interesting to me because the first daughter of Vanessa in my TS2 game was also gay. Weird coincidence.

Last weekend I finally had Vanessa get married to Victoria's dad, Styles (what kind of name?) after they'd been seeing each other for some time. Vanessa tends to sleep around so it took a while to persuade Styles that she was serious. The wedding was chaotic, with guests behaving oddly and an alien abduction (of poor Styles). When he finally managed to return to the planet after his probing, I noticed that he was moments away from becoming an elder, so I had to get Vanessa to hound him for woohoo and get knocked up super-fast. Fortunately she was up to the challenge, and presumably he was so probed he no longer cared, with the result that a baby bump quickly followed.

The baby turned out to be another girl, Veronica, and she rolled highly undesirable traits.

[Image: Intro_Veronica.jpg]


[Image: Traits_Veronica.png]


A loner and a slob? Great! Well I certainly never would have picked those. She is going to be utterly delightful isn't she. Jeez.

At the moment the family pretty much live on cake, given how many weddings and birthdays occurred in close succession. Cake, cake, cake. It's not so bad really.

[Image: Endless_cake.jpg]


Plotting The Demise Of Styles

We have a slight problem with Styles. He is very grumpy and really dull. While Vanessa runs around looking after the kids and earning money, he just flops about the house and plays his stupid video games. He is a real waste of space. He also is a "rebel" (really?) and so keeps pulling out that annoying soapbox and giving everyone a lecture. And so he will have to die.

[Image: Intro_Styles.jpg]


He's served his baby-making purpose now anyhow. I considered just letting him die of old age, but he's got a high athletic score so I think he'll keep going for some time......

Vanessa is on the case though. While fixing the bathtub that he'd broken, she thought of ways to cave in his skull with a hammer.

[Image: Death_by_hammer.jpg]


And while fixing the laptop he'd broken she pondered the usefulness of the screwdriver in ending Styles.

[Image: Death_by_screwdriver.jpg]


Make a terrible mess though wouldn't it.

Pool with walls round it? A small house fire (has the bonus of attracting firefighters)? Hold out hope for a meteor strike?

I will think of something.]]>

Jennifer Sanders
Before I begin to explain each of the character's-I would just like to inform you of how the Character of Jennifer came to be.
I was originally inspired to create Jennifer after seeing this promo image-a dark skin female character with sass. I was then stuck between the names Jennifer and Jessica, but I soon settled it and the character of Jennifer was born.
So off I went, creating her in GTA V Online as my second character and ended up with this on my PS3 (later as this on my PS4).
Slowly I became more obsessed with the Tarantino film (and character), Jackie Brown. The idea of Jennifer was fairly similar to Jackie Brown, cool, calm, strong-just looking for a way to make some extra cash. So while Jodie (AddictiveG) and I created Jennifer first in The Sims 4 CAS demo there was a lot more evidence of Jackie Brown being drawn in which is visible in some of her fashion. Jennifer is pretty much a younger version of Jackie Brown.

Chapter One

[Image: Screenshot-210.jpg]


It was a cold, grey morning in a suburban area known as Crystal Falls, Colorado, a nice little community, a few neighborhoods, a town square with a rather large shopping district, vast rural stretches of land, a little bit of everything in one town......A rather nice place to live.

[Image: Screenshot-211.jpg]


The truck was travelling at approximately 55mph on a long, windy road....the driver’s destination was not far. The truck had a design painted on the trailer and the hood bearing the words “Crystal Falls Animal Rescue: Equine Division” From the dashboard, he can hear quiet thumping sounds and the very faint neigh of a horse. The driver was not given many details about the animal he is transporting, he just views it as another paycheck, his way of putting bread on the table.

[Image: Screenshot-212.jpg]

[Image: Screenshot-213.jpg]


The trailer arrives at the place, Six Gable Stables. A medium-sized horse farm on the outskirts of the town of Crystal Falls. Almost immediately, two stable hands unlock the hatch of the horse trailer and take the animal out.

[Image: Screenshot-214.jpg]


“Looks like the rescued horse is here, can you tell me anything about him?” a voice said. It came from a man that is decked out in worn-out denim jeans, work boots and a plaid jacket. A tall man at six foot one, his face has rugged and arguably handsome features, a beard that covers his face, but not long and unmanageable, his eyes were a crystalline sea green color. His name is Jack Silver, but everyone that knows him just calls him by his first name.

“His name was Tornado, sir. He’s a nine year old Arabian stallion with a bay coat. The poor boy’s been so badly abused that every single attempt to rehabilitate him has failed. We’ve heard about how you and your stable hands are able to work with dangerous horses, and we trust you, but I feel I must warn you. If you don’t break him within 10 days, the Animal Police are contracted to seize and put him down. It’s a damn shame though....he’s such a gorgeous animal.”

The animal rescue worker said in a regretful tone...Jack was confused, he’s worked with dangerous horses for many years and there has never been such a short window of time to break a horse.

“Only 10 days, Why such a short timeframe?”

Jake asked and the answer that the animal control worker said sent a horrible shiver down his spine and for some reason awoke nameless fear in his heart.

[Image: Screenshot-215.jpg]


“Because sir.....that stallion killed his last owner.”

After he said that, a feeling of dread had encompassed both of the men, the worker continued.

“His last owner, a rancher and horse trainer, was always very tough on his horses, quite abusive actually. Tornado was always a troublesome creature, completely resistant to any method of training and one day, this man had begun to beat the horse into submission with a bullwhip.... after a huge commotion, the stable hands that worked in his stable found him in the horse's stall in a pool of his own blood. His neck snapped at the base of the cervical vertebrae, and hoof shaped bruises covering his body.”

"Oh...my GOD." Jack exclaimed.


[Image: Screenshot-216.jpg]


One of the stable hands leads the horse away from the trailer, the animal shows resistance, but the stable hand is persistent. Suddenly, without any notion of a warning, the blazing guitar riff of the song ‘Thunderstruck’ as made famous by the Australian band AC/DC suddenly blasts as Jake’s cell phone rang. The stallion, as a result goes into a frenzy and rears on his hind legs and bucks wildly. Jack's stable hands scramble to keep the horse under control.

[Image: Screenshot-217.jpg]

“SH*T!!” Jack curses, It’s his son on the phone. “Listen Joe, I'm kind of busy right now and I can’t talk! Call me back later, ok? Bye! Julian, Get the horse into quarentine!” Jack barked to one of the stable hands.

[Image: Screenshot-218.jpg]

[Image: Screenshot-219.jpg]


The young stable hand known as Julian, already shaken up by how violently the horse reacted to Jack’s cell phone going off takes the horse to a quarantine pen for horses to be rehabilitated. He moves slowly, breathing at a constant, calm rhythm to avoid spooking the stallion and eventually leads him into the concrete and steel pen.


[Image: Screenshot-220.jpg]


The bay stallion enters the pen with no issues whatsoever....But right before Julia walks out to lock the gate and go on with his day, he accidentally knocks over a metal shovel on his way out, which switches on an old stereo system that Jack used to own before he got his iPod. Suddenly, “Yankee Rose” by David Lee Roth blares over the stereo system, spooking the stallion. The horse suddenly lets out a terrifying, almost demonic neigh so loud that it could possibly be heard for miles. The horse looks at Julian with his piercing black eyes, filled with pure hate and malice...

[Image: Screenshot-221.jpg]


While the music is still blasting, the horse suddenly overpowers the young stablehand, rears up and kicks him directly in the chest.

“Hey! Easy! EASY BOY!!!” Julian screamed, but it was no help.

The horse violently slams Julian down to the ground, rearing up and stomping the stable hand nearly to death, horrifyingly akin to an episode of Bonanza named “A Matter Of Circumstance” where a spooked horse maims Little Joe. The same thing was happening in real life, right here, right now. Julian attempted to get up and escape the pen, but as soon as the stallion saw him, the horse let out another loud, dangerous, demonic neigh. The horse reared up and CRACK! Julian's wrist snapped as if his bones were twigs.

[Image: Screenshot-222.jpg]


Jack rushed over, as fast as his strong legs can carry him to the containment pen as soon as he witnessed the horrifying scene.

“Hey! BACK OFF!”

Jake yelled at the horse...Risking life and limb, Jack unlocks the gate, grabs the injured stablehand and pulls him out of the pen. Before the stallion could escape, Jack locked the gate as fast as he could.

[Image: Screenshot-223.jpg]


“Ugh.....God......I-I’m fine...I think he broke my wrist though...OWW GOD!!! Yeah.. he definitely broke it.” Julian said as he rose to his feet.

“I’ll take a look at it. But for the time being, I want you and the three girls to stay the hell away from that stallion. I know you want to help, but it’s for your own protection.”

[Image: Screenshot-224.jpg]


While Julian walked into Jake’s office, Jake turned around and looked at the horse inside the containment pen and watched as the beautiful bay stallion rears up wildly and gallops around the pen’s perimeter in circles.

“This is going to be a challenge.....”



Chapter Two

[Image: Screenshot-225.jpg]


(CLANG)
(CLANG)

The sound of iron weights colliding made a rhythmic and extremely noticable clanging sound. The sound of someone grunting and cursing under their breath could be heard throughout the entire gym. The high-tech bench press machine was set to 120lbs.....It was rather obvious that a very strong, athletic person was using the machine to exercise.

[Image: Screenshot-226.jpg]


“Urrrgghhhh....Come on...you f***er.” The muscular young man cursed under his breath. Recently, the young man had been trying to adjust his workouts in order to keep his physique, which is usually the only thing going for him....

[Image: Screenshot-227.jpg]


Michael Schaefer is his name, but everyone that has the experience of knowing him simply calls him “Mike”. He’s about five foot eleven, athletic and muscular...Hiss outfit consisted of baggy blue sweatpants and a tight black wife-beater. Facially, Mike is the epitome of Australia-handsome with his rugged looks, chiseled jaw line, short brown hair, lots of facial stubble with a chin-strap beard. In terms of looks and physique, Michael is an absolutely stunning man. But his personality was a whole another story.

[Image: Screenshot-228.jpg]


Michael used to be a middleweight Mixed Martial Arts fighter under the ring name “The Lone Wolf.” His ring name was inspired by his brooding, sullen nature and the fact that he looks like a stereotypical “modern werewolf”; usually a handsome, muscular man that can transform into a timber wolf in which girls often fantasized about. He was known for his swift and brutal knockouts, almost too brutal. His tenure with professional MMA ended as soon as it began. The reason, he was caught one day injecting himself with performance enhancing drugs.

[Image: Screenshot-229.jpg]


Mike then went on the treadmill to do his usual 30 minute run for the cardio part of his workout. Not only does he do it to reach his optimal heart rate and to burn calories. He felt as if cardio was the only thing that can take his mind off of things.... Reminiscing about his days as an MMA fighter and the steroid debacle always gets him angry, but suddenly another thought entered his mind....about how through his impulsiveness and stupidity, he lost someone he loved....

[Image: Screenshot-230.jpg]


“WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER STAYING WITH ME IF YOU’RE JUST GONNA MAKE PASSES AT OTHER GIRLS, IN FRONT OF ME NO LESS!!?!”
“But Genevra!”
“Oh don’t give me that ‘But Genevra’ B.S. That’s it. Were DONE! I NEVER, EVER WANT TO TALK TO YOU EVER AGAIN! I”M UNFRIENDING AND BLOCKING YOU FROM FACEBOOK, I’M UNFOLLOWING YOU ON TWITTER AND ERASING YOU FROM EVERY SINGLE ADRESS BOOK I OWN!!!! WAY TO THROW 2 ½ YEARS OUT THE WINDOW, YOU LECHEROUS JERK!!!!! I can't BELIEVE I wasted almost three years with you! Hoping that somewhere under that douchey, arrogant exterior there was some sort of...humanity in there! I guess I was wrong!”

[Image: Screenshot-231.jpg]


“Genevra.....” Mike grunted to himself in anger.

Realizing the reason why she left was because of his stupidity and arrogance, he got off the treadmill.... still angry and stressed-out....

[Image: Screenshot-232.jpg]


He exited the gym without even changing out of his gym clothes. He then mounted his iron horse, and rode off into the sunset..... A modern day cowboy.

The Lone Wolf is now on the prowl.

Chapter Three


[Image: Screenshot-233.jpg]


It was two days after the Arabian stallion came to the stables. On the second day, Jack decided it would be best if he began the process of attempting to tame the dangerous horse. The beast snorted, neighed and galloped around the pasture, all in an attempt to escape from his adversary, his nemesis. A human named Jack Silver who's intention was rather benevolent. All Jack wanted to do is save him from getting put down....

[Image: Screenshot-234.jpg]


“I heard that it took Jack like, three hours to get the tack on him.” The dark skinned, dark haired beautiful young woman told her friend.

“THREE hours? Jesus!” The blonde haired woman replied. The strawberry-blonde haired girl kept her eyes on Jack...

Their names are Jennifer Bettencourt, Karilla Johnson, and Marissa Markham. Everybody calls them “the sisters” because they’re so close to each other, like sisters. They’ve been riding at the stables since they were in High School. They’re attending college with the exception of Karilla who just graduated a month ago.

[Image: Screenshot-235.jpg]

“He’s one of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen.....why the hell would someone abuse him like that?!” Karilla shouted in accusation to the unknown former owner of the stallion as the wild horse galloped wildly around Jack who is trying his absolute hardest to calm him down.

“I don’t know, Karilla...” Jennifer told her in a comforting tone.

Karilla thought to herself, “That stallion is acting the same way Raven did before Jack broke her. Now she is the most loyal, friendly and trusting horse I have ever ridden.”

[Image: Screenshot-236.jpg]

“Julian is getting his cast removed today. That’s why he’s not here.”

“Oh...that’s good” Marissa said sheepishly, trying her hardest not to blush.

[Image: Screenshot-237.jpg]

“HEY!! EASY!!! EASY THERE, BOY!!!” Jack's booming voice screamed...

Jack had tried to leap on the stallion’s back in order to ride him, but his plan failed when the horse retaliated and threw him right off his back with a loud thud. A loud groan in pain, akin to a lion’s roar came from Jack.

[Image: Screenshot-238.jpg]

“Oh my God...oh my god he's gonna trample him to death...RUN, JACK RUN!!!”

Karilla screamed after the horse looked at him with intentions of attacking him after throwing him off his back. He raced out of the paddock and locked the gate.

[Image: Screenshot-239.jpg]


“Oh my God! Jack are you ok?!” Jennifer asked with utmost concern in her voice.

“I think my back is a little bruised, but I’ll live.” Jack replied.


[Image: Screenshot-240.jpg]

Karilla had walked away in sadness, Jennifer followed her.

“Sweetie? Why are you upset?” She asked her best friend.

“It’s just....I wish I could help him somehow...He’s such a healthy animal I don’t want him to be euthanized!!” said Karilla.

Ever since she was a little girl, Karilla loved horses and she was always much more horse crazy than Jennifer or Marissa.

“Karilla...I know that this is going to make me sound like a total heartless bitch, but....something tells me that it would be for the better if he was put down.” Karilla was shocked that her best friend would say such a callous statement.

“What?! WHY?!”

[Image: Screenshot-241.jpg]


“Karilla! LOOK! That horse is VICIOUS!!! He almost killed Julian, and now he almost killed Jack! And Jack is one of the best horsemen I have ever seen!” Jennifer said as the horse reared up wildly.

[Image: Screenshot-242.jpg]


“I’m sorry....but I've read about how abuse can cause serious mental trauma with horses, sometimes they never get over it and can never be tamed...Something tells me that the stallion is too far gone to be saved. I know that you were always very close to horses, but I think its best to let go.” Karilla looked at Jennifer with sadness.

[Image: Screenshot-243.jpg]

Karilla looked up and sighed.....

“I’m going to tack up Raven and go on a short trail ride with her. I just....I need to be with her right now.” Karilla said as she walked to the stable.

[Image: Screenshot-244.jpg]


“Hello, girl...you were waiting for me weren't you?”

Karilla said in a sing-song voice as she pet Raven, her 9 year old Andulasian buckskin mare. Just like the Arabian stallion, Raven was nearly as wild and dangerous and Jack’s horse breaking talents had successfully tamed her. Karilla’s family bought Raven from him but she still stays at the stable with Jack’s other horses.

“Come on, girlfriend, lets go for a ride...”

[Image: Screenshot-245.jpg]


As Karilla rode Raven down the trail, she thought to herself.....

“God Karilla, you’re 18 years old and still obsessed with horses.

Keep going at this pace and you’ll never have a boyfriend!”

“What?! WHY?!”

“Karilla! LOOK! That horse is VICIOUS!!! He almost killed Julian, and now he almost killed Jack! And Jack is one of the best horsemen I have ever seen!” Jennifer said as the horse reared up wildly.

“I’m sorry....but I've read about how abuse can cause serious mental trauma with horses, sometimes they never get over it and can never be tamed...Something tells me that the stallion is too far gone to be saved. I know that you were always very close to horses, but I think its best to let go.” Karilla looked at Jennifer with sadness.

Karilla looked up and sighed.....

“I’m going to tack up Raven and go on a short trail ride with her. I just....I need to be with her right now.” Karilla said as she walked to the stable.

“Hello, girl...you were waiting for me weren't you?”

Karilla said in a sing-song voice as she pet Raven, her 9 year old Andulasian buckskin mare. Just like the Arabian stallion, Raven was nearly as wild and dangerous and Jack’s horse breaking talents had successfully tamed her. Karilla’s family bought Raven from him but she still stays at the stable with Jack’s other horses.

“Come on, girlfriend, lets go for a ride...”

As Karilla rode Raven down the trail, she thought to herself.....

“God Karilla, you’re 18 years old and still obsessed with horses.

Keep going at this pace and you’ll never have a boyfriend!”
