    Wow, talk about dramatic overreacting! Raven's gone on a homicidal rage! I hope Onyx figures things out for himself. I see juicy drama ahead!

    Oh yes, there's definitely juicy drama ahead! Raven does care about her son but she's handling this situation in a very bad way, obviously. However, there IS a reason for her rage which will be explained in the next chapter.

    Oh... my heart wrenched. I knew I was right to withhold judgement in the last chapter but... oh, I still can't 100% get behind Raven. She is becoming as bad as the Vampire Hunters were, attacking humans who have done no wrong as humans attacked vampires who have done no wrong. Looking forward to see if she grows of if she remains stubborn in her views...

    You're right! She has a reason to view things the way she does, but it doesn't make it right. She's going down the same path as the Vampire Hunters. I really aimed to give her a mixed moral: good reasons to do bad things.

    As for if she grows or remains stubborn, only time will tell...

    Aww, thanks. I just really feel like I'm cheering for Onyx and Amelia already and I barely know them. And I'm the tough reader. If I'm not grabbed by page one or two... I'm off the story and onto something else. So, you've definitely got my attention!

    That's honestly really flattering to know my story is good enough for you to stick around! I don't have much confidence in my writing and storytelling, and when I started this simlit I thought for sure it was awful and belonged in the trash can, I'll admit. Sometimes I still feel like that, but it seems that everyone who reads it has a favorable opinion of it and that's a confidence booster.

    I can't help but see this as an analogy to prejudice. Now, she's going across the street to settle things once and for all. Man, some people just have their minds made up about a particular group and nothing anyone says will change their mind.

    It is! Prejudice is a huge theme in my story, as you've discovered. Maybe there's still a chance for Elaine to come around?

    I hope that Elaine will come around. But, not everyone is willing to change. In fact, it is scientifically proven that when some people with certain beliefs are confronted with the truth that proves their beliefs wrong/incorrect, they can sometimes reinforce their misgivings rather than change due to the truth. Some people would rather not lose face by being wrong than by changing a belief.

    This is very true. I'm not saying if she will or won't, though I know the answer. But realistically for the world setting my story is in, there will be people who disapprove of Onyx and their opinion will not change: that's their firm belief, and they truly believe it's right. It's unfortunate but it's something we see every day in the real world.

    I'm all caught up now... and awh. Elaine needs to wise up but it's not likely. When you objectify someone it's very hard to see how there are like you. I was never a big fan of vampires but Onyx... he's changing my heart. I think I am beginning to understand why so many people see them as romantic. I mean if you went through your entire childhood either afraid to share who you were because of persecution or judged... well, you would be rather brooding...

    Still the last line of Onyx is the one that just did me in. I am now in love with Onyx and if Amelia doesn't take him I will. :)

    @TheAemaSimming This is the sweetest thing I've read all day! <3 I'm happy to see you're all caught up and thank you so much for reading my simlit!

    You're so right. When you look at something in the kind of way that Elaine looks at vampires, then you're going to have a very hard time changing your mind. She's in too deep. But there may be hope for her yet, who knows?

    Hehe, you'll have to wait in line though. You may not be the only one who's willing to take him if Amelia doesn't. ;)
