Chapter 11: A Date with Death

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
On her first morning as an Young Adult Harlow awoke and enjoyed a quiet breakfast. Her calm exterior spoke volumes but inside troubles plagued her senses. Now she had grown up, Harlow knew there were some things she had to do.

Harlow had never met her father before- she had been brought up by her mother Scarlett alone. All through her life she felt the emptiness of knowing she had a parent who didn't want her, and now it was time to set those things to right... but maybe not in the way he expected.

As she locked him in the dank cell Harlow felt no guilt. Instead a saccharine grin split her features as she saw the confusion of her father's face; the panic. It was delicious.

She didn't even stay to watch him burn.

As Harlow returned to survey the result of her handywork she was felt an unvoluntary shiver- the kind you get when you realise someone is watching you. Her senses heightened as her skin turned cold, and slowly she turned to see who was behind her.

He was only there for a moment, but it was long enough to make an impression on young Harlow. Death stole your attention whether you wanted him to or not.
Right then and there, Harlow made a place for Him in her heart and vowed that he would one day belong to her.

After that Harlow was obsessed. She knew that to see Him again others would have to die. It seems so stange that someone would be willing to go so far, but Harlow was evil to her very core, and she wanted him. She needed a sacrifice.

The maid was cleverer than the last victim and battled valiantly to save herself.

Still, it wasn't enough to save her skin.

Harlow awoke from a deep sleep to the maid's final cries as she lost her life. Quickly she ran to the cells to wait for Him.

Death didn't take long to materialise, but every second wasted was torture for Harlow. She took a deep breath as he harvested the soul and prepared to speak to the Grim Reaper.

Being touched by Death wasn't how Harlow had imagined. Yes, his touch was cold and distant, but it filled Harlow with such feeling; such resolve that she knew they were meant to be together. In a few seconds, he was gone

After that came another victim- Jolie. A sweet girl, Harlow lured Jolie to her home under the illusion of friendship, but both women got more than they bargained for.

Yes, a few hours after being placed in the cell, Jolie spun into her maternity clothes.
Can pregnant Sims die? If not, will she give birth in the cell?
There's only one way to find out...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Harlow paced the corridor by the cells, angry and impatient at how long it was taking for her to see Death again. She realised she needed a way to get lots of people to her house at once. And then she thought of the perfect solution...
A party.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Soon her cells were crammed with fresh blood. Unfortunately though, many of the Sims were NPC's, and thus were able to escape from their confinement. Still, there would be enough murder to go around.

One of the party guests got a very special cell- with his wife. Yes, Harlow had tracked down Jolie's husband Nick and promptly placed him with his beloved.

At first the couple were delighted to be together once again, but soon the stresses of living in captivity began to overwhelm them, and they argued bitterly.

A short while later the first guest caught on fire.

And she was quickly followed by the second.

Harlow ran eagerly to the basement, following the screams of her prey until she was reunited with the Reaper once again.

But sadly this time Death didn't hang around to chat. Harlow felt crushed by his abandoment and retired to her room. She convinced herself that she wasn't good enough for Him- that he didn't want her. She sat infront of her mirror and sobbed, and soon began working on changing herself.

A few hours later and she felt better; happier and ready to win his black heart.

Whilst things were unfolding in the basement, above ground Harlow's brother Devon was celebrating his birthday. He turned into a Young Adult and quickly moved out.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Scarlett's birthday was also on the same day.

She aged relatively gracefully.

The next day Harlow invited over her neighbour Cleo. Cleo had just recently lost her son, though she didn't realise that it was Harlow who had so cruely snatched his life away. Harlow decided that the kindest thing to do was to ease her pain.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Mwah ha ha.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Not long after Jolie went into labour and stayed that way for many hours. Eventually she just stopped. No baby. No death. What a disappointment.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But the day wasn't completely a bust. First Cleo caught on fire.

Then her sister.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Then Nick died of starvation.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Harlow had laid on a buffet of souls for the Reaper to feed on, she just hoped he would be grateful.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
She waited patiently, as always, for him to finish work.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And then she began to chat with him, inside desperately wishing he would notice the effort she had gone to in hopes of impressing him.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
It seems you have to kill a hella lot of people to get some touch with the Reaper...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
In between deaths, Harlow spent some time in the neighbourhood collecting seeds.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
As a Green Thumb she really enjoyed working on her garden, and it helped to keep her calm.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Every so often a person would die.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And Harlow would wait dutifully, like she always did, in hopes of getting to spend some time with her love; her God- the Angel of Death.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The moments were brief and fleeting; the separation all the more painful, but she was addicted to his touch. Harlow needed Him. She just prayed he would grow to need her too.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Another day, another death.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Another night spent at his side. Faithful, always patient.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Sometimes Harlow would look into his eyes knowing that Death could see her soul. She wanted to give it to him desperately.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Sometimes he would look into her eyes too, and in those moments Harlow felt a peace she had never felt before.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Sometimes the whole world would just fall away and it was only them- these two. Harlow and Death.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Without Death by her side Harlow's days seemed longer- the colours of the world less bright. Always there was something missing. With her mind always on Grim she became less vigilant too, and these mistakes cost her.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
One of the prisoners escaped whilst Harlow wasn't looking. Unfortunately for the poor girl she wasn't long for this earthly existence. She died of starvation just before she reached the street.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And Death came, as he always did.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And Harlow went to him, as she always did. This time she pleaded with him to stay, just a little bit longer. Just the one night was all she needed to satisfy her weakness.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
She got what she craved, and he was gone before she woke up the next morning.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But Death had left something behind. Harlow smiled as she placed her hand on her expanding stomach. She thought of the life growing inside her; the Death. Now she was connected to him, and she was ever closer to claiming his heart.
