The Vampire

 

Vampire.  The mere mention of the word conjures up images of Transylvania, bloodshed, death and fangs.

There are certain things one must know about vampires.  Firstly, they cannot venture into the sunlight as they will die.  By nature, they are creatures of the night, the undead.  They sleep during the day in a coffin that is placed on soil taken from their motherland.  They hunger and thirst for only the blood of the living and can take the form of a bat to venture out and strike the unsuspecting by sinking their teeth into their victims necks.  Apart from sunlight, another way to kill a vampire is to drive a wooden stake through their heart whilst they lay slumbering in their coffin during the day.  The vampire is repelled by garlic and fears mirrors, as the vampire has no reflection.

If you invite a vampire into your home, even without knowing that he or she is such, they will be able to come back at a later date, either in their human form or the form of a bat, and will enter at will.  

In The Sims 4, vampires are a little different in as much as other Sims cannot drive a stake through the hearts of these unworldly creatures, however, sunlight will kill them.  And of course if you don't want your vampire Sims to bite the necks of others, there is always Plasma fruit that is available for them to eat which quenches their thirst for blood.

Talking of which, Willow Mendip also seems to have a thirst for blood but in a different way.  Being an evil witch, she takes much pleasure in annihilating her neighbours one by one and sometimes two at a time.  Unfortunately this doesn't get Willow any friends and although she enjoys making enemies, one should have a friend or two, especially if they are as evil as Willow is.

On this particular evening in Glimmerbrook, a young gentleman paid Willow an unexpected visit.  His very name strikes fear into the hearts of Sims, except for Willow of course.  Caleb Vatore lives with his wife Lillith in Midnight Hollow, the darkest of The Sims 4 worlds.  As we know, Willow doesn't stick to the rules so she invited Caleb in.

Striking up some friendly conversation, Willow soon made a friend of Caleb.  They proceeded to watch the movie "Sims of the Dead" together on TV and chatted about it afterwards.  They then had a nice outing to the Magic Realm before Willow had to leave to tend her beloved plants.

One can only wonder where this friendship of two supernaturals will lead.
