Isaac woke up first the next morning, and from the looks of it, he will grow into a responsible person, helping mommy with the laundry, and other chores around the house.
https://i.imgur.com/bGScvL6.jpg
"Woof!" A bark was heard outside, as a stray dog stops by outside and falls asleep by their front door.
https://i.imgur.com/uM4hLes.jpg
The stray dog is gone however, by the time Aaron wakes up from sleeping in the treehouse to go inside to have breakfast. Shame, I was hoping that he would notice it and get a wish to adopt it. ;)
https://i.imgur.com/VaLAaM5.jpg
Ingun is still sleeping heavily when Billy enters the room to play with the dollhouse. This immediately gives her the shy moodlet.
https://i.imgur.com/K7nDQ2R.jpg
Natalie wakes up to take her morning medicine and have breakfast as Billy and Aaron rush out the door to go to school. Isaac has already gone, leaving an unfinished breakfast meal on the kitchen counter.
https://i.imgur.com/8UgHotB.jpg
"Morning, sis" Natalie says as Ingun comes downstairs to use the bathroom. She follows her with her eyes with that sweet look on her face as she walks past. Natalie is capable of love somewhere inside, and she really feels a deep love and concern for her sister.
https://i.imgur.com/V7uNnKS.jpg
Natalie: I hope you are ready for a little walk into the woods today, Ingun..
https://i.imgur.com/IMxLrTU.jpg
Ingun: Is that really n-n-necessary? Why c-c-can't just Elisa come down t-to us?
https://i.imgur.com/eCWRJfs.jpg
Natalie: That's actually a good point, Ingun... though I doubt she will come down here. She prefers to keep her magic secret, I think thats why she moved into the forest in the first place.
A thunderous bang breaks through the monotonous sound of raindrops falling on the roof.
Ingun: Besides, it is storming p-pretty bad outside.. n-not the best weather for a s-stroll through the forest...
Ingun goes to the refridgerator to eat some leftovers from yesterday.
https://i.imgur.com/8eHFerP.jpg
"We can always use rain coats.. and we will only take a short trip.." Natalie says while she walks over to check the sink for any leaks.
Ingun: I d-d-don't know.. w-what about the t-thunder? Standing under a lot of t-trees p-probably isn't the smartest thing...
https://i.imgur.com/we3ak2F.jpg
Natalie: Don't be silly Ingun.. I'll take a shower while you finish your breakfast and then we will go..
https://i.imgur.com/6ShNjl4.jpg
"I really don't want to go into that forest. Especially not in this weather. What should I do now? Maybe if the weather clears up.. I hope it clears up.."
https://i.imgur.com/4gFCcuN.jpg
"I'm gonna need the rocking chair for a while..."
https://i.imgur.com/h2JxatC.jpg
Natalie: Come along now, Ingun.. we won't go to far, just to the same spot we were with Elisa just the other day..
Ingun: Oh,. I d-don't know..
Natalie: Ingun... come now! I'm trying to help you...
Ingun: Alright t-then.. but we are g-going home soon after..
Natalie: Yeah, yeah, sure...
But just as they head out for the taxi, Elisa comes running over, seemingly distressed about something..
https://i.imgur.com/crntuZ1.jpg
Natalie: Hi, Elisa, what a surprise! What brought you here? We were just going for a small trip to the forest..
When Ingun spots Elisa, she immediately turns on the doorstep..
Ingun: Elisa is here, I'm g-g-going back inside..
https://i.imgur.com/bdEBoWz.jpg
Elisa: Natalie, I have some bad news... I think the forest isn't safe for me anymore..
Natalie: What, Elisa? What are you talking about..?
Elisa: The demons, Natalie... they came to my cabin last night and.. I couldn't see them, but I could smell their presence... like a burning sensation....
https://i.imgur.com/oVfqWMt.jpg
Elisa: Now, thanks to the protective spells, they can't get to you or Ingun... so they're going for me instead.. unfortunately, I can't cast a protective spell on myself, it doesn't work that way...
Natalie: So, but... how can we..? Is there anything we can do?
https://i.imgur.com/8ZjhNVx.jpg
Elisa: Well, there's always strength in numbers.. and I could teach you to practice magic, so that..
Natalie:.. you want us to cast the spell on you?
Elisa: Something like that.. may I come in? Please....
Elisa almost begged Natalie to come in, an unusual behavior for her...
https://i.imgur.com/QrRLi3E.jpg
Natalie: Oh, of course.. my home is yours... please come inside...
https://i.imgur.com/d2NMQKJ.jpg
Natalie: We have a spare bunk bed upstairs you can sleep in..
Elisa: That is much appreciated, thank you very much, Natalie!
The demons must have really scared the usually reclusive Elisa to willingly come down to town... Surely it would take a little more than just a burning smell to scare a magician of her calibre, right? I should think so...
https://i.imgur.com/R4ZGGdG.jpg
Elisa: Now, we have no time to waste.. I should start to teach you Magic as soon as possible..
Elisa: First thing we need to do is to go shopping at the Elixir store...
https://i.imgur.com/s3FIjrJ.jpg
Natalie: Oh.. uhm, well me and Ingun have to go to work soon... can we .. can we wait until tomorrow?
https://i.imgur.com/gZnhsgi.jpg
Elisa: Well, if you must.. but then we go... first thing in the morning! And I will get you the necessary books to read and ingredients to use!
Natalie: Ok, we'll do that, I promise...
https://i.imgur.com/fBZtWGi.jpg
Natalie had to hurry, Ingun had already left, and she was getting late. Isaac made it home from school just as she was about to leave.
Isaac: Who is that, mom?
Natalie: Its.. its Elisa, a good friend of mine. She is going to stay with us..
Isaac: Why, mom? What is this?
Natalie: I'll.. I'll explain later. I have to go now, I'm already late for work...
https://i.imgur.com/2lwpWQl.jpg
Elisa: Nice to finally meet you, Isaac. Like your mother said, my name is Elisa, and I'll be staying with you for a while...
Isaac: How.. how do you know my name?
Elisa: I am your great grandmother, Isaac.
https://i.imgur.com/NORcQkM.jpg
Isaac:... what? Why hasn't mom told anything about this?? I have a great grandmother??
Elisa: Thats a long story... My home, my real home is the old cabin in the Forest of Illusion..
Isaac: So you're that old witch that burn people just by looking at them?
https://i.imgur.com/xZz53DI.jpg
Elisa: No, Isaac.. you shouldn't believe all the rumours that people tell you...
https://i.imgur.com/aBFkamB.jpg
Isaac found this all a little weird, but was happy to discover that he had a great grandmother. Aaron and Billy came home, and noticed this old lady they had never seen before standing there..
https://i.imgur.com/3ZtMwy1.jpg
Aaron: Hello, lady, who are you? Are you an actor?
Aaron hoped that she would be an actor working at the theatre, but Elisa told the excact same thing to Aaron, as she did to Isaac. Now that she was going to stay with them, she might as well just tell it like it is. That she is their great grandmother, but that was also everything she would admit to.
https://i.imgur.com/lUWxy04.jpg
----
She did live in town once, together with her then boyfriend Dominique Vasquez, and they even had two children together. But their relationship broke when she learned that he was having a side affair, and Elisa fell into a deep depression.
https://i.imgur.com/VCRAHQl.jpg
Picture: Dominique holding Elisas oldest child, Idun. Dominique then is Isaac and Aarons great grandfather, and Idun is their grandmother...
https://i.imgur.com/9uNQZNP.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/tJ58bY1.jpg
For months, she locked herself up in her home and did nothing but play the blues, before finally moving away from town and into the cabin in the forest... hence she has a very high skill in guitar playing...
-----
Back to present day..
https://i.imgur.com/icUojIu.jpg
Now that Isaac was a teenager, it was sometimes his turn to read bedtime stories for his younger brothers.
https://i.imgur.com/mbnnkms.jpg
Elisa quickly found herself at home in Natalies house, but now she had another concern. The kids. In particular Isaac and Billy. She was sure that they would need a protective spell cast on them too. She knew that, in fact, but she didn't want to tell them why or what it was for.. she thought it would be best to not tell them everything yet... She wanted to talk to Isaac first, as he was the oldest..
https://i.imgur.com/nstgwD6.jpg
As Elisa went over to talk to Isaac, Natalie and Ingun had just finished their shift at the Zombie Restaurant. Inguns work perfomance had become a lot better now that she had escaped the claws of her mom and began in therapy with Dr. Sara, which had earned her a promotion to Line Chef and a bonus of 624 simoleons.
https://i.imgur.com/seHL3Wh.jpg
Elisa: Isaac, as I am your great grandmother.. you are also part magician, and I want to show you how to use it..
https://i.imgur.com/LV7QQfX.jpg
Isaac: Oh, oh, that sounds really cool grandma. What can I use it for?
Isaac was hoping she would answer good looks, money or being popular with the girls. Yes, Isaac was getting into that age... but Elisa had other things on her mind..
Elisa: Go over to stand by the kitchen bench, and I will run a demonstration...
"Okay... what are you gonna do?" Isaac said with a mixture of hopefulness and expectation as he walked to the kitchen bench.
https://i.imgur.com/Y4sZJCx.jpg
"Just stand still" Elisa said and began to recite the same spell she had cast on Ingun and Natalie earlier. Isaac didn't understand a word and had no idea what she was doing, but he was really amazed at what he was seeing. He had never seen anyone perform magic before.
https://i.imgur.com/qCeEn1T.jpg
Then he became frightened when he realized that he was the target for whatever witchcraft she was using. "G-g-grandma, what are you doing!?" he stuttered. Elisa couldn't stop to explain once she had started, she had to keep going.
https://i.imgur.com/zmn76B9.jpg
Ingun recognized the words Elisa was using, and it made her freak out.
https://i.imgur.com/AeTCGF4.jpg
Isaac: Mom! Mom!! What is she doing!??
https://i.imgur.com/Z7eKLl7.jpg
Isaac: Brrr! Why do I feel so c-cold? What did you do to me?
Elisa was really happy that the spell appeared to be working.
Elisa: I cast a good luck spell on you, Isaac. The feeling of cold is only temporary.
https://i.imgur.com/sRNGzgG.jpg
Isaac: So..but.. now I will be permanently lucky?
Elisa: No, not permanently, it will wear off with time, and I will have to cast another one..
https://i.imgur.com/XPw3ZIk.jpg
Isaac: Ok, and you are going to teach me this.. so that I can cast it on myself?
Elisa: I can teach you how, but you can't cast spells on yourself...
https://i.imgur.com/XTo3z0Z.jpg
Isaac: Why not?
Elisa: Because they will invert and have the opposite effect. It would be a curse instead.
Isaac: But what if I cursed myself then? Would that work?
https://i.imgur.com/Ntd8a2M.jpg
Elisa: Haha, no, Isaac... that wouldn't work either. Unless you actually wanted to curse yourself, that is.
https://i.imgur.com/fC26Lop.jpg
Isaac: I don't get it...
https://i.imgur.com/8yrGdRJ.jpg
Elisa: You will with time, Isaac. You will with time...

So what was it that really happened to make Elisa run away....

So what was it that really happened to make Elisa run away....
Spoiler
https://i.imgur.com/lOIBUKU.jpg
It was a rainy morning, and Elisa was in her cabin peacefully cooking breakfast. Alfred was sitting on the couch reading a book.
https://i.imgur.com/8rucCRX.jpg
Neither of them noticed it at first, because it slithered so silently. It managed to squeeze itself through a small crack inbetween the foundation and the wood paneling on the outside.
https://i.imgur.com/1wYzuS2.jpg
Once inside, it slowly wiggled across the floor and up right behind Elisa was standing. It was getting ready to launch a bite as she turned around to walk over to put the pot on the oven.
Elisa wasn't an easily frightened woman, she had seen snakes many times before, but she knew that bites from some of them could be poisonous, if not downright deadly.
"Congelo!" she shouted to stun the snake for a moment just long enough so that she could put the pot down and move away from the snake.
https://i.imgur.com/tsqSn28.jpg
Alfred heard her shout and got up from the couch. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Its a snake.." Elisa answered "Its a shield tale snake...".
"A shield tale? I didn't know you had any of those."
"I don't." Elisa said. "Its an intruder." The shield tale snake came back to life and prepared itself to jab Elisa once more.
https://i.imgur.com/ME3fFQV.jpg
"Rutrum ut interficiat angues caput!” Elisa shouted at the snake. The snake was stunned for a while, but quickly resumed its position to bite.
https://i.imgur.com/DVNklFo.jpg
“This isn't an ordinary snake” Elisa said as she jumped away. The snake hit the the wall with a solid jab. The painted coating appeared to vaporize with a hissing sound outwards from where the snakes teeth had penetrated wall.
Alfred ran over to Elisa. “I'll get it” he said.
https://i.imgur.com/6FDXeRa.jpg
“No, Alfred! This snake will kill you!”
But it was in Alfreds nature, he had been her loyal butler for the past 40 years. He wasn't going to sit there and watch her get bitten by any snake. Alfred had handled snakes many times before, but this one was different. As he grabbed a hold of its tail, it immediately turned its body and bit him in the hand, forcing him to let go. It then launched itself up in the air right in front of him.
https://i.imgur.com/HMyu1dC.jpg
“Trulla ut interficias serpentes!” Elisa shouted, but it had no effect. The snake bit Alfred straight in the face and he immediately caught on fire.
https://i.imgur.com/s6aBMsL.jpg
“Coniuro te, Abzu, ut hunc ignem exstingue!” she shouted, but again it had no effect. Alfreds screams were heard until nothing was left of him but a pile of ashes on the floor. Then the snake went for Elisa. This certainly wasn't an ordinary shield tale snake... Probably not even a snake at all..
https://i.imgur.com/fKDbTAl.jpg
“Sanctorum invocabo Agatha, in Sicilia, Elisabeth Hungariae...” Elisa began, before the snake interrupted her.
https://i.imgur.com/gEvRf0S.png
“None of that is going to help, Elisa!” the snake hissed. “None of it! Now die, witch!” the snake said, its mouth wide open spewing venom.
https://i.imgur.com/TEDFUYt.jpg
“Soteria scutum!” Elisa shouted, before running as fast as she could out of the cabin.
https://i.imgur.com/S4d3tGA.jpg
Once outside, she called upon Hermes, the old god of transportation to transfer her to the edge of the forest.. she had to get away from there as fast as possible..
https://i.imgur.com/kEppDPK.jpg
"Hermes, Elisam transfer ad ripam silvae!”
https://i.imgur.com/lNV5yc0.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/cqSnQit.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Szbw6NA.jpg
From there, she used her broom and went down to Natalies house as fast as she could. She knew that as Natalie and Ingun had the protective spell on them, the snake... or demon... shouldn't be able to get to close. Atleast for now...

“This isn't an ordinary snake” Elisa said as she jumped away. The snake hit the the wall with a solid jab. The painted coating appeared to vaporize with a hissing sound outwards from where the snakes teeth had penetrated wall.
Alfred ran over to Elisa. “I'll get it” he said.

“No, Alfred! This snake will kill you!”
But it was in Alfreds nature, he had been her loyal butler for the past 40 years. He wasn't going to sit there and watch her get bitten by any snake. Alfred had handled snakes many times before, but this one was different. As he grabbed a hold of its tail, it immediately turned its body and bit him in the hand, forcing him to let go. It then launched itself up in the air right in front of him.

“Trulla ut interficias serpentes!” Elisa shouted, but it had no effect. The snake bit Alfred straight in the face and he immediately caught on fire.

“Coniuro te, Abzu, ut hunc ignem exstingue!” she shouted, but again it had no effect. Alfreds screams were heard until nothing was left of him but a pile of ashes on the floor. Then the snake went for Elisa. This certainly wasn't an ordinary shield tale snake... Probably not even a snake at all..

“Sanctorum invocabo Agatha, in Sicilia, Elisabeth Hungariae...” Elisa began, before the snake interrupted her.

“None of that is going to help, Elisa!” the snake hissed. “None of it! Now die, witch!” the snake said, its mouth wide open spewing venom.

“Soteria scutum!” Elisa shouted, before running as fast as she could out of the cabin.

Once outside, she called upon Hermes, the old god of transportation to transfer her to the edge of the forest.. she had to get away from there as fast as possible..

"Hermes, Elisam transfer ad ripam silvae!”

From there, she used her broom and went down to Natalies house as fast as she could. She knew that as Natalie and Ingun had the protective spell on them, the snake... or demon... shouldn't be able to get to close. Atleast for now...
