Samira Mørch-Engebakken was the first of the invited visitors to arrive. Like Isaac, she has recently had her 13th birthday, and aged up to a teenager. Once on the lot, she goes over to talk to Aaron, who has already gone outside to play in the treehouse. Aaron doesn't know her very well, she is only an aqcuaintance to him. "This girl has some strange glowing eyes" he thinks "is she a ghost?"
https://i.imgur.com/3ZRIgxB.jpg
Samira: Hi, I'm Samira. Is this your treehouse? It looks very nice.
https://i.imgur.com/v5dT21K.jpg
Aaron: Oh, it's mine and Billys. We play in it a lot. I was going to hold a feast for the court. Would you like to join?
https://i.imgur.com/Q73D8jJ.jpg
Samira: That sounds like a lot of fun! I used to play like that, too. I have a tree just like that at home, but I think I'm to old for it now!
Then a friendly voice is heard calling, and Lenore has also arrived on the lot.
https://i.imgur.com/p6zfwsF.jpg
Lenore: Hey, Aaron!
https://i.imgur.com/QssH3kx.jpg
Lenore: I came as fast as I could, but my brother wouldn't let me leave until I had done my homework!
https://i.imgur.com/ZTN3cnx.jpg
Aaron: My mom never tells me to do my homework, but I want to do well in school, so I always do it anyway!
https://i.imgur.com/dmbKzaA.jpg
Lenore: I wish I had a mom. At home its just dad and my brother, and dad is almost always out somewhere!
https://i.imgur.com/tmXjgUZ.jpg
Aaron: Oh, having a mom isn't always that great..
https://i.imgur.com/vj1FdaR.jpg
Lenore: Some people have great moms! Edmunds mom makes very good cakes, and always reads for me when I am there!
https://i.imgur.com/MTutWNz.jpg
Aaron: I think it is better to have an aunt than to have a mom. My aunt Ingun always likes to read for us, too. She is much better at it than mom!
https://i.imgur.com/af7dkXV.jpg
Aaron: Lets play in the treehouse! I'm the king and I'm going to hold a feast! You can be a princess!
https://i.imgur.com/z1BkDHK.jpg
"I'm not a princess, Aaron! I'm a Queen, and one day I will rule the entirety of the worlds!" Lenore replied with determination in her voice, as if she was actually thinking about taking over the world and not just playing...

Meanwhile, Natalie had gotten a raise of 8 simoleons per hour at work, because she had discovered a new and more effective way of serving buns which greatly pleased Ramona, her boss. Isaac wasn't doing so great with Samira.. he had just made fun of his little brother Aaron, which bored her, before then he began to flirt with her, but the response was negative.
https://i.imgur.com/NEtzA7z.jpg
Samira: Isaac.. that's not funny..
Samira thinks he's clumsy...
https://i.imgur.com/6k4SJzN.jpg
Samira: ..but if you don't mind, I have been looking at this new jacket, so I was wondering if you had some money to spare.. It doesn't have to be much, only 10 bucks and I will have..
https://i.imgur.com/PdaDFgE.jpg
Isaac: No! No, I'm not helping you pay for your jacket! Get your own money!
https://i.imgur.com/I6wpTJG.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/YuXmeIR.jpg
"This wasn't much fun, I want to go home.." Samira thinks, before she goes to do her homework..
https://i.imgur.com/Qw5F8lL.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/fL3IxUn.jpg
Then Billy complains about having to do dishes and Isaac tries to kiss Samira, but that is very unwelcome. Billy lights up the situation by bragging about his pranking skills, and maybe that worked... a little..
https://i.imgur.com/ypJk36k.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/oKou0Xn.jpg
Samira: If you take me to the cinema, we can kiss in the dark...
https://i.imgur.com/Mg66BcX.jpg
Isaac: Oh, I would like that...
https://i.imgur.com/o6v3Opa.jpg
Then Isaac wants to kiss her once again, but gets interrupted by Billy who wants to play tag.
https://i.imgur.com/9U9vOuF.jpg
Lenore and Aaron are still having fun holding their royal dinner for the court in the treehouse.. umm, I mean, castle, of course. ;) "Oh, these vegetables are most splendid. I love feasting on the most splendid. I can't get enough of it!" Lenore says. "Ah, yes, excuisite!" Aaron replies and both of them giggle and feel proud for knowing how to use such posh sounding words.
https://i.imgur.com/coIcbRZ.jpg
Well, Billy changed his mind about playing tag, because he got hungry, and Isaac managed to steal his first kiss. Now lets see if she liked it...
https://i.imgur.com/1ezEoed.jpg
She did not. Isaac, there is this thing called timing... maybe you should have a talk with your father about, you know, girls and romance, and all that...
https://i.imgur.com/rIeWpI6.jpg
You should be happy its not a full moon and that the werewolf in her isn't coming out!
https://i.imgur.com/Hs8QUvM.jpg
Isaac: Have you seen the way Aaron dresses? He's trying to hard to impress the teachers! He should know that we don't have to wear school uniforms in Lagash!
https://i.imgur.com/juxECLB.jpg
Samira: I like the way he dresses. I think he is a stylish boy.
https://i.imgur.com/NqKIiUB.jpg
Isaac: Yeah, but he is trying to hard. He should be more like the other kids, running around and getting their clothes wrinkled and dirty!
https://i.imgur.com/3RV5U4p.jpg
"Come on, Isaac..." Samira sighs "Let him dress and act however he wants..."
https://i.imgur.com/ZEA1Vpz.jpg
Samira: ...but you know, about those money and that jacket...? If you would maybe reconsider...?
https://i.imgur.com/IlXreUm.jpg
Isaac: No! I told you no, Samira! I'm not paying for your jacket!
Heh, you're both hopeless... continue like this and your probably won't be friends for much longer...
https://i.imgur.com/hj4k4tX.jpg
Looks like the royal banquet in the treehouse didn't hold enough food for Lenore, because she went inside to help herself to a leftover birthday cake from Isaacs party. "I am so hungry" she said, before quickly finishing the cake in one bite. And then things got a little strange as she approached Elisa with the sound of heavy, stomping feet.. a sound which could not possibly come from such a little child...
https://i.imgur.com/tmzSTmc.jpg
Lenore: My plates are empty, and I am still hungry!
Lenores voice had suddenly deepened, and it was obvious that the voice was no longer hers, and her breath had the rotten stench of sulphur.... Elisa immediately knew who this voice belonged to..
https://i.imgur.com/fhn22Td.jpg
Elisa: You! You give me my Alfred back, you evil snake being!
https://i.imgur.com/2bOC6SZ.jpg
Demon: Can't do, witch! Father is hungry, and Alfred is his appetizer!
https://i.imgur.com/4k1Lk7w.jpg
Demon: And He thinks He will have you for a main course!
https://i.imgur.com/kcwHIm1.jpg
"O Pater in Inferno, bubulam hanc porcam tibi coquam!" the demon said, now speaking with both a male and female voice at the same time, as it raised it's hands appearing to gain power from some higher entity.
https://i.imgur.com/wR7gZho.jpg
Demon: Smells good already.. Our Father will be most pleased...
https://i.imgur.com/9gMNH2T.jpg
I guess that's the problem with demons is that they are excellent shape shifters, so you never really know where you have them. They could be standing right in front of you, and you wouldn't even know it!
And the kids certainly didn't, because they were still outside conversing, without any clue about the drama going on inside..
https://i.imgur.com/F3VeinY.jpg
After the demon had set fire to Elisa, it concealed its presence by appearing to vanish into thin air. This isn't looking good for Elisa. The clock is ticking for her, and Aaron, who just came inside, is all paralyzed from his great grandma being on fire and has no idea what to do..
https://i.imgur.com/sqBaXWS.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/buEVj0k.jpg
However, now both Ingun and Natalie is finished with their shift at the restaurant.. Ingun is already in her taxi. Natalie is a little bit behind, she just had to go over all the sinks in the kitchen before leaving, to make sure nothing was leaking.... will any of them make it home in time to see what is going on and save Elisa before she literally burns to death, or will it be to late?
https://i.imgur.com/RMJDX4C.jpg
And back home, the demon still in its concealed state is now heading towards the kids outside. This time wihtout making any sound, just moving forward with determination.
https://i.imgur.com/SjUh87w.jpg
In the nick of time, hopefully, Ingun just came home! Please, hurry inside and save Elisa before its to late! Ingun had no chance to notice the demon outside, and neither did any of the kids as it snuck up on them.
https://i.imgur.com/BKrKwCb.jpg
Billy had asked Isaac for a bedtime story, so they walked inside, leaving Samira outside alone. The demon then manifested itself right behind her as it grabbed hold of her body to give her a beating, making this a visit she probably wouldn't forget so easily...
https://i.imgur.com/ydlvbF2.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/UMGR3HO.jpg
Demon: If you want to see another moon, don't come here again! Now go take yourself for a walk and get out of here, little puppy girl...
Ouch....
When the going gets tough... Ingun panicked and blacked out at the sight of Elisa burning, and Esnebria took over. Where Ingun is a coward (sorry, but its true..), Esnebria is much more hard headed and bold.
https://i.imgur.com/26MXCyI.jpg
Esnebria knew everything that Ingun did, about the spells Elisa had casted to protect them, and because of that she couldn't let Elisa go up in flames! Esnebria had no idea what had caused Elisa to catch fire, she didn't have time to contemplate such thoughts! This moment only required swift action!
https://i.imgur.com/riH22Mx.jpg
Natalie was almost at home too now, so maybe it wasn't to late for Elisa! Lets hope so.. but this certainly isn't looking good!
https://i.imgur.com/YIXN5le.jpg
Natalie finally makes it through the door. They better put out the fire, because Elisa doesn't have much time left!
