Horse Hearts

Hey everyone! :smiley:

This is not a new Sims 3 story from me actually...it's from my 11 year old daughter. :blush: She wanted me to share it on here with y'all and hear your thoughts on it. :) We both hope you'll enjoy it. She's turned into quite the budding author and of course this momma is very proud. <3

Spoiler
I've transcribed it over exactly as she had it written, fonts and all. But I did fix some typos and made some additional paragraphs along the way, with her permission. ;)

Chapter One

Warm water washed onto Jane's shoulders as she turned the bath on. She loved taking nice warm baths on cold late nights like this one.

Her heart leaped at the sound of the door opening, and she quickly ducked down into the water.

"Hey Jane! You won't believe what-- oh! I'm sorry!" Jessie came walking into the bathroom and immediately covered his eyes with his hands.
"Jessie? What are you doing here?" Jane gasped. She put her hands over her mouth in surprise.
"Right... about that..." Jessie murmured. "Our house kind of got lit on fire so we decided to move in with you guys for now."
Jane felt a bolt of shock go through her. They couldn't live here! They barely had enough room for Jane and her family.
"You're serious?" Jane asked him in a serious tone.
Jessie nodded. "Mmm hm. We're roommates now."
"Well get out so I can get my clothes on!"

Stepping out of the bath, Jane immediately reached for the towel that was laying on the floor. She drained the bath as she got out of it and wrapped the towel around her.
The room felt steamy and humid, and Jane had to hurry to put her clothes back on.
Once she had announced that she was dressed, Jessie came back in with an excited expression as he grasped Jane's hands.
"You know what this means? We can ride horses together whenever we want! And maybe our parents will hook up." He said with joy beaming in his eyes.

Jane sighed and looked down at her feet. "Do you really think they're meant to be together?" She muttered.
Jessie's eyes grew wide. "What are you saying?"
There was a long moment of silence before Jane shook her head and waved his question away. "We'll make this work."

The two jumped as the door kicked open yet again, and Daniel-- Jane's little redheaded brother-- came in.
"What are you two weirdos' doing in here? Kissing?" he asked while making a disgusted face and squinting.
"No!" Jane and Jessie exclaimed at the same time.
Laughing, Daniel turned around to run into the other room.
Jane rolled her eyes and followed after him into the bedroom with Jessie following behind her. "I swear that little maniac is on my last nerve." She murmured to him.

Daniel was bouncing around on his bed beside Jane's.
Apparently, Jane's mother had moved another bed into the bedroom for Jessie to sleep on. The blanket was white and fluffy, with many green leaf patterns on it.
"This isn't too bad!" Jessie commented while leaping onto his bed and digging his face into the pillow. He kicked his shoes off onto the floor and rolled onto his back.
Jane smiled and came to lay down on her bed as well.

Her brother was sitting crisscross applesauce on his bed and staring at the floor. Jane assumed he was daydreaming.
Well as long as he's got something to do and isn't pestering me, I'm fine with it. She thought to herself with a sigh.
"So Jane, think we could go visit crazy cat lady's house again tomorrow morning?" Jessie suddenly asked from across the room. He sat up and gazed over at Jane with a smirk.
"What? No! She is not to be messed with. Remember that time when she tried to throw a stapler at me?" Jane replied with narrowed brows. "a stapler!"
Jessie grasped his stomach and chuckled. "Yeah, she's called crazy cat lady for a reason. That old woman is out of her mind and surely has more cats with her than how many Tribbles are on the Star Trek ship." He joked.
But Jane wasn't amused. This old woman wasn't just a crazy cat lover- she was downright terrifying.
Whenever she would hang out in her yard she would always stare at the people who walked by with her wide, non-blinking eyes. She would even threaten anyone who set foot on her property. But why?
"I guess we could... but I don't think my mom would like it." Jane replied nervously while eyeing Daniel, who was squinting his eyes at her suspiciously.
"Who said we would have to tell your mom where we were going? She doesn't get out of bed until about 9:00, and my dad doesn't really care where we go." Jessie pointed out.
He wasn't wrong, Jane just wasn't sure if his evil genius plan would actually work. They could get in trouble.
"You mean Victoria? No, no, no, you can't visit her! She really is insane like Jessie said!" Daniel cried while grabbing his sister's arm and anxiously shaking it.
Pushing him away, Jane folded her arms and glared at him.
"And how do you know about that?" she questioned.
"No reason," Daniel muttered. He slid under the covers of his bed and turned to lay on his side facing the wall. "Goodnight," he said in a muffled voice while reaching his hand out to turn the lamp off that was on his end table.
The room went dark.

  • Hey there everyone! This is emorrill's daughter, the author of Horse Hearts. I'm so glad that all of you amazing people have read and liked my Horse Hearts story! I was afraid it wouldn't turn out good because I usually write in the point of view of animals instead of humans, so it was a bit of a challenge!

    I regret to inform you all that I'm no longer going to to continue Horse Hearts :( ... I've lost interest in the story and don't feel like I can continue writing it. I'm very sorry, and I hope you can understand!

    However, I am going to write a new story told from a point of view of dogs! (So all you dog lovers out there might want to check it out)! The story already sounds a lot better than Horse Hearts and has better description and characters. I can't wait to post it because it's pretty good so far! (I'm planning to post the chapters I have done already tomorrow. Please don't be disappointed if that doesn't happen!)

    My mom suggested I tell you guys how Horse Hearts was going to end so that you wouldn't all be left on a cliffhanger. I never thought of that, so I'm glad she suggested it.
    After Jessie and Jane's "world went dark", they would wake up in a strange world far from their own. They would find themselves in the bodies of their horses... Victoria had cast a strange spell on them that made it happen. So basically a curse.

    Jessie and Jane had to survive in the bodies of horses-- run from predators, find food and shelter, that sort of thing. They eventually found a strange portal that led to their own world again. The curse would be broken, and they could be humans again.
    Jessie was hesitant at first, though. He said he really liked being a horse and wasn't sure if he wanted to go back. Jane reminded him of his dad, their horses, and all the other things that he loved. That convinced Jessie to follow Jane into the portal.

    They returned to their own world as humans and were reunited with their family and their horses. They explained everything to their parents, and when they did Jane's mom didn't believe them and said that they had one active imagination. But Jessie's dad believed them... he said it was because he had seen Victoria cast weird spells before and never told anyone because he could hardly believe it. He convinces Jane's mom that what she and Jessie said was true.

    They went to Victoria's house in an attempt to find her and get information out of her. When she didn't answer the door, they found a way in through an open window and searched for her. They didn't find her at all, and were about to give up... until Jessie found a hidden staircase that led into a secret basement.

    Hesitantly, they go into the basement. It was big and dark, and full of horse stuff: saltlicks, hay, horse toys, all sorts of those kind of things. But that wasn't the weirdest part...
    They found living horses trapped in the basement, surprisingly well fed but tied up. Horrified, Jessie and Jane and their parents rescue the horses and call the police. The police arrive and search the entire house for Victoria, but she is nowhere to be seen. Jessie and Jane tell the police about how Victoria had chased them down a specific road while riding their horses. So the police searched that road as well. But still, they didn't find Victoria.

    Jessie and Jane go back to their normal lives and try to forget the insane memories of everything that had happened. But about a month later, they hear on the news that a strange woman with supernatural powers named Victoria was captured and taken to jail. Her last name was unknown.

    Jessie and Jane are both shocked and horrified when they see a picture of the woman. It was 100% Victoria. Except instead of being an old woman, she was a younger woman. The same younger woman that had chased Jessie and Jane and cast a spell on them that teleported them to a different world and made them become their horses. Victoria remained in jail for the rest of her life and never escaped, and Jessie, Jane, their parents, and their horses lived happily ever after. And that was what I planned to be the end of the story! I hope you all enoyed it ^^. It would have been nice to write that all out in the story of course, but I just don't feel like it.

    Now that that's been discussed... I am going to give you all a little hint about what might happen in the next story I'm writing!


    ***


    "For decades, the Meadow Watchers Pack has lived in peace. Their home used to be nothing but forest and meadows, but now... humans have turned it into something much different. Something the dogs never thought they'd see. Something that would change their lives forever.
    A young dog named Fox in the Meadow Watchers Pack finds himself fighting for survival against the dangers of the wild. Nowhere is peaceful. Nowhere is safe. Not anymore."

    If that sounds interesting, then be sure to check out my new story, The Dawn of Dogs! It should be released soon :). This story is actually based off of a story I wrote a long time ago when I was about five or six years old. So basically this is the improved verison of it.

    Goodbye!
  • @Sims4MagicalTales Thank you for your interest! She's been working on it for a while now and she hopes to get it posted soon. :) It's been busy for us both lately... :p
