Bistre, the heiress, is still a child and Nighshade is still living on the main lot. Winter is just about over. Let's see if I can keep the vampire alive this time.

So because my previous chapters were soooo daaaang looong I'm doing chapters by season instead of years. Cept college, that's all in one go. It's such a tedious trial to get through.

So anyways, I'm not sure what was going on before this, I'll just have to read up on the Brood later.

Someone is super mad about being a ghost, though. This blonde kid has been scaring the bejeebs out of the kids.

Vermillion has plans to squelch this attack on her children.

Oh shiv! The headmasters here!

And his table manners suck!

And Nightshade took off to work! How dare he! I need him to impress the headmaster! He's liek the only nice one!

Why are you looking at me liek that?

Oh! Bistre's a teeneger! Happy birthday, Bistre. She rolls Pleasure. Muuuuch more interesting than family, eh?

I get to roll this time, right? Since I lost all the other stuff? Or do I have to make her a fam sim again? O_o

Vermillion muddles through the headmasters assessment of her house and children and cooking skills.

And while the children take their first day at fancy pants jitmakusol prep, Vermillion has fish to fry.

First she must rest her physical form for the trials ahead.

"Abra-kadoo, abra-kadee, threaten my family? I'll make you a zombie!"

Well that didn't work. I think becasue these kids died as college brats. We'll try another avenue.

Speaking of college kids, this is Jim Pederson. The one that got away.

Not no mo, blond trip! He going down like his crap brothers in the folly!

Anyways, Bistre needs some socializing under her belt. Off she goes.

To the Cafe I built! It's so pretty!

Yes I did build this all by myself! Thanks for the congratulations! It's about time someone appreciated by architectural genius!

Augh! You're a teenager! That means you have nothing interesting to say! Be gone with you, wretched parapubescent!

Bistre did manage to chat up some of the other townies, the teen Ivy Copur and- uhh, the red-headed garden club sim with the glasses and goatee. You know, the cute one.

And she got a new look! Becoming of a witch spawn, neh?

Vermillion still has to deal with the ghosts trying to kill her children, so she takes a job in paranormal for the career reward. Except she needs some charisma before she gets to high enough whatever. Woops.

This Pederson kid is still in the pool. It's been a few days now. He's sticking it out until the bitter end.

Vermillion takes a break from chatting at herself in the mirror to bestow her child with a powerful gift.

Bistre, you will no longer be the snotty nosed child of just another sims 2 challenge.

You are hereby granted the powers of your mother! And now carry all the duties that those powers entail to which you will adhere herein.

Congratulations, Bistre! You are now a witch. A party will be held in your honor. You will meet the professors you will serve in college, Professor Lew and Professor Odious! And various other college students that you may or may not have any relationships with.

Bistre is also charged with heading up the challenge of getting that elusive wishing well. A requirement for the OWBC.

Is he dying yet? No, not quite yet.

Anyways, Vermillion gets started on inviting over her former alma marter. Fun times to be had!

Meanwhile, Nightshade pumps out that last skill point for his job in politics and completes the line-up! Woo, congrats!

Dead yeeeeet? Nope, not yet.

Yus! it's been like all spring long!

Oh, good bye, Jim Pederson.

I'm taking photos liek its going to out style.

I've never actually killed someone in a pool like this. Also, if you're paying attention to the death toll, he's the third, but not family. So his death doesn't technically count toward the death-.. cow. cowforbrains challenge. But there's nothing saying he can't die, right? And yes, its a different death, but I can drown someone else later, now that I know it works.

"So, Brill is like a zombie town, right? Why aren't there any zombies?"

I'm working on. Don't you see me working on it?

"Ummm, you aren't making zombies?"

Well, I want to do it legitly, not cheatsy.

"I see. What about Shea Johnston and Nervous from Strangetown?"

I have plans for them, too!

Anyways, Bistre came home from one day at work in-... I forget, it doesn't matter. She'll be going to college anyways- and topped her teen career! yay!

And so the party gathers. It's an all female line-up tonight: The Odious, the Lew, the Countess, the Waitress Princess and others.

"Hey, girl, can you palm me a Witchbegone? I wanna go out quietly. Don't want to steal my daughters thunder, you know."

The aforementioned party guests enjoy some sparkly pie and champagne for Vermillions annual Spring Equinox party. Witches dig the Equinox'

Bistre wants all the deets about what it's liek being a professor of the dark. She hears the Odious of her fathers professor. She'll bejoining him in college soon. She's very excited.

The other guests dont seem to realize its Bistre's party. That's okay. Bistre has her line-up set.

So while she makes the rounds the ladies smustle.

And Ms. Go bangs some pots in the bathroom. Classy, Go!

Professor Lew doesn't seem very interested in chatting up Bistre.

But the teenager knows how to get her special one on one time with the professor. Challenge her in a game of wits!

The party, though bumpen, is mysteriously missing its hostess.

That's because Vermillion is busy dousing the flames of the magic within her.

Sssssss! That burns!

Now only a simple vampire spawn, she can rejoin the party.

So, I've recently acquired the sims2 ultimate collection, and before this didn't own holiday stuff. This is Father Time.

And this is a cop car. Apparently the party is a little rowdy.

Father Time is shaking an hourglass. I totally want an hour glass.

While Vermillion pours the champagne!

Now he's waving the hour glass. I think he's getting a little excited.

"Congratulations, Bistre, you're far more interesting since the reboot. May your journey continue to be as entertaining to the masses. Namely this mass.

Party time with Father Time, oh yeah~

Then the guy turned into a little munchkin. Can't wait to do this again next year. I'll have Christmas that year, too! Exciting times!

Wait, Countess Bim Fong, what are you doing!?

Why are you doing that, Countess Bim Fong!?

What have you done!?

Why would you- You don't even know her! You big blonde hussy!

No, she can't go on a date with you now! You have to study magics enough to learn how to reverse this terrible affliction! No offense, Countess.

See? Fun times to be had. I said so. Blargh!

After the guests leave Bistre gets to studyinghow to reverse- I just said this.

While Nightshade earned his gold badge in Tailoring.

When Bistre learns enough she heads to her mothers couldron. Now that Vermillion is not longer a witch she has passed down the book stand, the couldron and the throne of Claws.

"You're really going to make me do this?! It's like every teenaged girls dream to be a vampire, you know. I'd rather be this than a witch, I'll tell ya now."

Maybe when you're nearing elderlihood. If you remain as cool as your mom. But for right now You need to get ready. Big thigns are in your future.

Zzzzrrrt! Brrrrng!

Very colorful pictures.

Alright, you, head to bed before you die. You can't sit in the chair of Claws anymore.

Except she had to take off for work a couple hours later. Crap!

Bistre is so happy. Look at this! Why is she even smiling? You got me. But I like it.

Nightshade got a better look to go with his position of Senator. Suits!

And Ochre came home with his first A+.

They're such good brothers. I could cry.

Happy Birthday, Omen.

Don't hug your son! Get into the coffin! I'm not losing you again!

Omen got his old-.. new look back?

And Spring is officially over. Time to send Bistre off to college. That's right, this time she isn't being accompanied by her brothers. For some reason college always goes faster when its just one student. Less people to look after, I guess.

Alright, folks, thanks for bearing with me and reading, of course. See you next time as Bistre takes on the challenges of college life!
