A few days later in Ciudad Enamorada ...

Michaela met Katharina for a drink at the Laguna del Abrazo Lounge.

Michaela: "Is there anything new from Grace?"

Katharina shook her head sadly. "No. I reproach myself a lot. If I had lasted a few more years with Alden ..."

Michaela: "No, don't say that. You deserve to be happy." She paused and patted her hand. "Grace will definitely come back."

Catherine: "You didn't see her. She didn't know who we were and she was hurt. She had bite wounds everywhere."

Michaela pressed her lips together and thought of her own daughter. Jana behaved very strangely in the last few weeks and was constantly looking for a fight with her. And Anne was not really worth remembering. The fact was that her two daughters were a disappointment for her.

At the same time ...

Bishop had asked Danielle to talk to Jana. That's why she had come to Ciudad Enamorada on her free afternoon.

Jana: "Oh you lost weight. It's about time."

Danielle ignored the insult. .„ Yes, a little." she didn't tell her that she had drunk the Insta-Slim potion from the rewards.

Jana: "Then you just wanted to present your new self. A selfie text message would have been enough."

Danielle: "Dad is worried."

Her sister laughed maliciously. "He's always worried about everything, since the death of Aunt Bridgette." She rolled her eyes in annoyance and let out a disgusted sound. "He's a weakling."

Danielle: "And you talk like an idiot. He just wants to protect us."

Jana: "In front of whom or what, please?"

Danielle looked at her sister in disbelief and wondered if she hadn't really noticed anything about the attacks on the mages. Then it occurred to her that she was not blessed with magic by birth. Jana was an ordinary Sim. It could indeed be the case that she was unaware. "Jana, even if you don't believe it, there are dark forces out there. Beings that have set their sights on us."

Jana began to laugh excitedly. "You're talking about vampires, right?"

Danielle nodded.

Jana: "Oh you are so arrogant, you magicians. Your imperial colonists. You do everything to suppress the vampires. You have unlawfully taken land that does not belong to you. The ancient realm rightfully belongs to the vampires. Yet you magiosims have driven them away, and that is called genocide."

Danielle was flabbergasted and could hardly believe the nonsense her cousin was telling her. "That's historically wrong. The truth can be read in every elementary school history book of the occult world. The magicians have been connected to magic and the land since the beginning of time. But the vampires want the power of the Source for themselves. Our ancestors had tried to live with the vampires, reaching out to them. But it was the vampires who started the war back then and it is still vampires today who cannot live peacefully with us. We have been attacked and killed for weeks. And by the way, genocide means that the population, the culture, the language, everything that makes it up is destroyed. There can be no question of that with the vampire. They multiply, their stories and legends are still told today." She paused. "Jana, I can't believe you fell for these lies."

Jana screamed hysterically: "You're a racist."

Danielle stood up, she didn't have to listen to that anymore. "Jana, it's enough. I'm not a racist. Read a history book and educate yourself. Don't believe every piece of shit that is told on the Internet."

Jana screamed: "Get out of here."

*******

Later Edward came by.

Actually, he wanted to see Anne, but she wasn't there.

Jana: "Hey, what's going on?"

Edward: "Is your dad or Anne here?"

Jana: "Do you see her?"

He shook his head.

Jana: "Then you have your answer." He sighed heavily. "Can I tell Dad or my sister something about you?"

He looked at her thoughtfully. "Yes, dad bought a house in Forgotten Hollow."

Jana looked at him and didn't understand the concern on his face. "And? Why are you so worried?"

Edward: "Because it's the area where the vampires are most often seen. He moved out of our house and now lives in the new villa. He has lost his mind ..."

Jana held her breath and let Edward continue talking without listening to him any more. Forgotten Hollow. She had already read that the vampires lived there. Now she had a reason to check it. She had to pay Uncle Alden a visit.

Since the disappearance of her cousin Grace, Danielle has spent every free minute in the realm of magic to strengthen her abilities. She was obsessed with the idea of becoming stronger so that she could protect her family from the demon and the vampires.

But she didn't think only of herself. She was also able to convince Edward to deepen his knowledge of magic. Most of the time, both traveled together to the realm of magic to learn.

But while Danielle was interested in gaining knowledge and experience in duels, Edward had something else in mind.

Her name was Emberlyn Eve Vatore.

*******

But the tender bonds of love that the two teenagers forged did not go unnoticed.

John Black, sage of mischievous magic, kept an eye on the two. On the one hand, Edward was a Gothington and there were more and more rumors about this family.

Especially about Kolamano, the current sage of untamed magic, and Clementine Gothington.

On the other hand, Emberlyn Eve Vatore was the daughter of Kolamano's predecessor, Morgyn Ember. He had given up his dignity and position because he had fallen in love with the vampire Caleb Vatore. It was a scandal and the society of magicians was deeply divided, millennia-old rules were questioned.

Society nearly plunged into the abyss of chaos.

Therefore, it was John's duty to observe the Gothingtons. He was a wise man and had sworn to protect the realm of magic and the society of magicians. He would not break this oath.

For the times were dangerous. There was a threat from outside by the vampires and that demoness. From within by ambitious, power-hungry families like the Gothingtons.

Next day in Glimmerbrook.

Danielle hadn't slept well and had woken up early. Something told her that something horrible had happened.

She took advantage of the peace and quiet in the house on this Saturday morning to train her magical abilities. Because in addition to the crystals, she would have to be ready to protect herself and her loved ones.

Never again did she want to feel helpless and at the mercy of others.

********

A little later, she traveled to the realm of magic to continue learning. She met her cousin George.

Danielle: "Hello, up so early?"

George laughed arrogantly: "I haven't been to bed yet. Sleeping is for wimps."

Danielle: "If you think so."

George: "Well, how are things going with Grandpa? Will he soon give up the spoon? It's about time."

Danielle looked at him in shock. How could he say such a thing?

George: "Wow, don't look at me so stupidly. It's true. The old man has been living longer than he should. Dad is already going crazy because of it."

Danielle: "Your dad might want to pull himself together a bit. People are already talking about him."

George: "Envious sycophants. And cousin, don't forget, Dad is the next Viscount. The head of the family."

Danielle: "Together with Aunt Clementine."

George laughed viciously again. "She's just a woman. I won't let her tell me anything."

Danielle shook her head in disbelief. "You and your father are totally crazy."

George: "Do you dare..."

Danielle: "Yes, I dare."

George overwhelmed the anger and attacked Danielle with a spell. She countered it without hesitation.

********

At the same time ...

Benjamin received a call from his grandson Edward. "Hello my boy, it's nice that you're calling. How are you?"

Edward: Grandpa, I'm fine. But Grace is gone!"

Benjamin: "What do you mean by gone?"

Edward: "No one has seen her since yesterday morning. She has disappeared and doesn't answer her cell phone either. I'm worried about her, it doesn't look like her. Something must have happened."

Benjamin closed his eyes and tried to sort out his thoughts. A dark premonition rose in him. "It's good that you called me. I'm going to take care of Grace now. Don't worry, we'll find them."

Edward: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Benjamin: "Alden knows about it. Has he done anything yet?"

Edward: "Dad's not here. I don't think he noticed."

Benjamin sighed heavily. "What about your mother. Could she have gone to her?"

Edward: "I don't know. I ask."

Benjamin: "And I'll let Clementine and Bishop know. We will find her and bring her back."

[thegothingtons]

While Marquis had celebrated his party, the demon, as Yumi called her, was up to mischief in the city.

Elorana Straud de Sade was Marquis' sister. A vampire who had acquired magical powers on dark paths and lost her mind in the process. They were driven through the world by bloodlust and enjoyed spreading fear and terror.

Marquis had put it into hibernation 250 years ago and had it awakened again a few hours ago. She was thirsty and angry, and the world had to pay for it.

First she was haunted by the realm of magic and now it was the turn of the Sim World. She struck randomly.

And without knowing it, Danielle Gothington was one of her victims.
