The newly-minted Copperdale grads have decided to try their hands yet again in conquering the Selvatadoran jungle.
“We decided to partner up and I literally just picked the person standing closest to me,” Aria tells us. “That person was Finn!“
“Are you sure you want me as a partner?” Finn asked. “I can’t even find my way out of a box.”
Brooklyn and Cassandra quickly teamed up as well.
“I picked Brooklyn immediately since Holden was trying to get my attention,” Cassandra tells us. “He still thinks I’m his sounding board for all things Edwin and Bella. I’m so over it.”
“I really wanted to partner with Cassandra,” Holden reveals. “I know things have been weird with us since the camping trip at Granite Falls. I want to set the record straight.”
Also partnering up is Wolfgang and Aislinn.
“We’re going to grab up all those jungle treasures before anyone else can–if these spiders don’t get us first. Good thing we bought up most of the supplies!” Wolfgang states.
Jay and Caelyn are also looking for treasure, but for a pretty serious reason.
“My family is broke and there’s no money for college, “Jay reveals. “If we can find enough relics and treasure, we may be able to send Caelyn to Britechester.”
One couple, however, will forego jungle adventures to have adventures at home.
“Let’s just say that Puck and I are going to take advantage of having the place to ourselves,” Morgan laughed.
While Puck and Morgan spent some quality time together, one Sim bailed out of the jungle excursion pretty quickly.
“Cassandra and I haven’t even left the trailhead yet and I’m out! Too many creepy crawlies for me!” Brooklyn exclaimed.
Jay wasted no time scanning the area for hidden artifacts.
“So far nothing but shards, but they’ve got to be worth something, right?”
Meanwhile over in Moonwood Mill, Bella and Edwin spent another day researching vampirism in the library.
“Edwin and I have both been researching vampirism, but he’s really holding back from digging deeper,” Bella tells us. “If we’re going to stop Vlad, we need all the knowledge we can get our hands on.”
“Edwin, I know that you don’t want to immerse yourself in vampire lore, but in this case knowledge is power. If you can level up your vampire power, you may be able to beat him at his own game.”
“I want to be a good vampire,” Edwin tells Bella, “and for me that means remaining human as possible. If I level up in power, I may level up in evil.”
“Hold up!” Bella exclaimed. “Edwin, evil is a choice. One you would never make. It’s up to you how you use your power.”
“Bella was right, so I did what was scary to me. I started reading the Encyclopedia Vampirica.“
“After I finished reading that book I realized two things,” Edwin told us. Number one: I had a very unique history. Number two: Vlad had made us vampires out to be monsters that we clearly were not.”
Afterwards, the two decided to spend a night out on the town at the Grimtooth Bar and Bunker.
“It was so cool to actually allow ourselves to have fun,” Edwin stated. “Bella and I have been in survival mood for too long.”
“I know Edwin and I are meant to be! He tolerated my singing!” Bella laughed.
A few hours later with a strong desire to feed, Edwin paid a visit to the plasma fruit tree he had planted.
“Edwin, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the full extent of a being a vampire. Drink from me,” Bella said a bit nervously.
What?! Edwin cried incredulously. “Do you even know what you’re saying? I may not be able to control myself! I could seriously hurt you!”
“We both know that’s vampire misinformation! Yes, the initial bite might hurt and, yes, I might be a bit dazed afterwards, but you’re not going to kill me.”
“You can start small–on my arm,” Bella offered.
“I was extremely nervous,” Edwin reveals, “but also very curious. Drinking plasma from a Sim was something I swore I would never do, but here I was about to do it for the first time–with the girl that I loved.”
“The taste of Bella’s plasma satisfied something in me that I didn’t know even existed,” Edwin reveals. “It was as if every doubt I had about being a vampire was erased in that moment. It felt natural and–sensual.”
“The pain was more than I thought would be, but I would go through it a million times for Edwin,” Bella said.
“I can’t tell you what it means to have had this first experience with Bella, but now, I want more. Much more,” Edwin reveals.
Will Bella and Edwin grow closer now that Edwin has drank her plasma? What is their next step in defeating Vlad? Will the Copperdale grads find treasure or trouble in the jungle of Selvadatorada?
