The Monster and the Maiden: Ch. 07
April 11th, 2009
Omake:
Kind of a mixture of stuff this time: an alternate header and actually a few behind-the-scenes pictures.
The photo session for the header was a lot of fun, mostly because I've wanted to dress Edmond as the Other for awhile now. Yeah, it didn't really have much to do with this chapter, but I guess it kind of hints as to what Edmond is in danger of becoming.
This one is just funny to me. I needed Rafe for something so I just had him teleport to the front yard while Edmond was creeping up the front walk way. With the way the light is spread out like wings, I thought Rafe looked like an archangel appearing next to Edmond.
While doing his bath scene (before I had decided to let him go bare-assed naked), Edmond broke the bathtub (way to go, Fang Boy). Emily was in the room because I needed her to turn on the sink's faucet a couple of times while Edmond was doing his thing in the mirror. Anyway, when she saw Edmond break the tub, she decided a lecture was in order (apparently "lecture" overides "freewill off"). Interestingly enough, Edmond didn't seem to be that upset by Emily's tirade. I think he was distracted by her boobs beneath her tight sweater (notice the small smile on his lips and the direction of his eyes).
Of course, Emily's chewing him out all becomes clear now. She just wanted to see his butt and the flexing muscles of his back as he fixes the tub. Yay, Emily! She's a woman after my own heart. 😉

Best chapter yet! And Rafe with long hair? Can't wait.

Tightest ass on a sim yet, that man hits all the right buttons. And yay! Julian's appearance! I wonder if he'll notice the mark on his neck even though he has no recollection of the incident.

Holy Cows! That was utterly fantastic. I swear, this story just builds up so perfectly every chapter. The beginning is just soooo…..wow.
I wonder if Emily is going to tell her father about this….oh god no. I can just picture what Tahlvin would do if he found what happened *shudders*.
Great job, I'm already itching to see what'll happen next!

Oh Edmond. That was brilliant. I love where you're taking this, Kara. It just keeps getting better and better.

Wonderful update! To see things from his point of view– how frightful.
Also, your pictures are so beautiful. I love Edmond's home. There are so many details to gather in each shot. It really does look lived in.

Edmond, oh Edmond! What must you struggle with you beautiful demon? I loved this chapter Kara! I don't know why but I think The Other might be more frightening than we think…..

Kara, you never fail to amaze me. The way you describe Edmond's internal fight with The Other shows off your intense writing talent. I mean, wow… And it was awesome to see the other perspective of that very powerful little scene. I cannot wait to see where this goes. As always, you have me on the edge of my seat.
And thank you for naked Edmond ass. That was lovely.

WOW :up:
This was an amazing chapter. We really got into more detail into Edmund's inter turmoil with what he is and his feelings towards Emily. I'm quite anxious now to find out how Emily is taking in all that has happened and how her and Edmund's relationship will change after this encounter 😯
Btw I love Edmund's house. It has such a great balance between elegance and grunge :XO:

I just realized I spelled Edmond's name wrong :vangry:
April 12th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
OMG! I'm so intrigued! I love you and the way you effortlessly pull me into the story. I…just wow. I never noticed just how sexy Edmond is. I love the color of his eyes…sigh..never in real life will someone as sexy exist, ahha. And Rafe…next to Tahlvin…i'm on cloud nine.
April 12th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
😯 WOOHOOO! :XO: I think I'm in love with Eddie's buns of steele :XO: That was a great chapter! I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Oh my, Edmond's toosh sent shivers down my spine! The storyline gets better by the chapter, I am in awe of your talent in fictional literature. The Other is indeed one sinister being, I think Edmond should just swallow his pride, go to Koryll then steak Emily from the clutches of her fiancee 😛
Ugh, now I'm all frenzied up…can't wait 'til the next chapter!
April 13th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Kara, I just loved getting to see Edmond's perspective on the unfolding events. This chapter was well worth the wait! I'm always amazed at how well you are able to capture the expressions and various poses. Very cool! 😀

Oh and i meant to say this yesterday, but I was sidetracked and my mind was jumbled in many different directions. Basically, I felt like this chapter was sorta erotic. Like Edmond's biting Emily was slightly impure…i dunno. Not saying this is a porno, but i hope you understand what I'm saying. Thanks and sorry for posting twice.

Nice chapter. I really liked how you demonstrated Edmond's inner turmoil with the 2 versions of himself. I have a feeling that Emily will play a big role in that component of his character development. I also agree with Eva about the chapter being erotic and my guess is that was your intent. I think vampires and the 'bite' have almost always been portrayed that way and rightly so.

aaa…a…bu…bubbbuu..Drooooooolllll…
That butt shot is epic..yummo
Great story loving every chapter and look forward to the next.

I just have to tell you I loved loved loved this chapter. My favorite so far.
I just loved how I got lost here and then and then you get that 'ahaaa' effect when you start getting it XP.
Poor Edmond, hope he 'gets well' soon. I really like how you built his character, I really have no words. The sets are amazing, poses and the graphics. I really like how you don't edit your pictures(or at least, you make it looks like it wasn't edited). It's a good choice not too cause… I dunno, I can't explain it , it just that the rich but simple pictures suit the story.
Love M&tM to bits. Can't wait for more, :XO: .

I'm emotionally linked to Edmond (I even dreamed three times in the last three nights that I was dating him 😯 ), and I fear for him…I don't know what is worse, if the increasing strenght of the Other or the possible reaction of Tahlvin if he knows what Edmond did to Emily 😐 …I'm anxious to see what will happen!Keep up the great work, Kara! 😉

OMG!!! You showed his butt!!! *Faints*
This chapter was the BEST!!! I can only anticipate the next one!!! 😕
Keep doin wha you do! :XO:

First of all, I am totally blown away by the way you showed Edmond warring with his Other self. I think I not only stared at those shots for several minutes longer than I should, I re-read that bit a lot. What a struggle he has going on and I think this was the first time I realized exactly what went on when he changed. And it was scary! I almost thought Edmond wasn't going to come back!
I was delighted at Julian's appearance! Poor guy, left in an alley like that…
I liked seeing these events from Edmond's POV. It explains why he came back before he was completely sated and discovered Emily. Very erotic, sensual scene by the way. Stunning the way you wrote it and the way you shot it.

OMG!!! I was just about to give up on getting an update! I was cleaning up my bookmarks and decided to come and check up on the story..and wow an update! I love it Kara! Great Job! Poor Edmund he seems so conflicted ..and i cant wait to see more of the "other" :up:

Wtf? I can see your banners and stuff, but the pictures in this post aren't showing up. And seeing as I've been left wondering whats gonna happen after last chapter for MONTHS and now its finally here, I can't see it!
Any clue whats going on?

Yeah, its just the ones in this post. I have both Firefox and Explorer, and I tried veiwing it in both and there was no change. But, I am on another computer and I can see them. Its crazy, I can't think of anyhting that could do this.

Haha yep, I'm a lucky dog! 😆 The first dream was of both Edmond and Julian, the second of Edmond, Tahlvin and Rafe and the last one just of Edmond…now my goal is to dream of Alec too 😛 And I must thank you for such resources of wonderful dreams, your gorgeous sims! 🙂
April 29th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I have to say, WOW! I have read a lot of stories, some very good d but you totally amazed me; WOW'ed me times 10. Your pictures were flawless. Your writing flowed so easily and I couldn't stop reading it when I started it an hour ago.
I can't wait for the next few chapters. I'm really excited. Thanks for sharing!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Took me a little while to get back to reading stories – the Wrath of the Lich King has been holding me back – just a little bit! Awesome update – can't wait to see what's next! I can wait for you to get Ulduar on farm….I think….. 😀

BRILLIANT chapter… As some others have said, I love that we see the same scene again from his perspective… Love it!

Lovely update Kara! beautifully done as always.
July 9th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Oooh I got shivers reading this chapter! (mostly from seeing Edmond's tight ass. I think this might be the first case where I actually fell in love with a sim :XO: ) But really I feel like this chapter has opened up a whole bunch of new possibilities for Edmond as well as problems. I can't wait to see what Emily's reaction will be like. We've heard Edmond's side of the story but now i want to hear Emily's. All in all great chapter 🙂

Ha Rafe looks like Jesus 😀

Is this story over? I miss it very much please say it's not so.
July 6th, 2010 at 3:15 am
Say it isn't so, you beautiful writer, you. I'm classified with the rest of the people who have never commented. I'm also in the category of 'if you don't update this by the time I return to your website (which will be in the next 24 hours), then I will steal Edmond from Emily and your story will be over anyway — and then I can do my own real LIFE story like a pimp because I wouldn't be a virgin anymore if Edmond was real.'
Longest category ever.
LOL @ KITTY. Rafe does look like Jesus. Rafe is Jesus.
And Edmond is Jesus Jr. who has partly converted to the Dark Side.
Red lightsaber for you, Edmond. Red lightsaber for you.

I really hope you plan to continue this story – it's amazing, and I actually care about the characters (which is quite an achievement, considering they're batches of pixels in a simulation game). Pleeeeeasssse carry on with it! You're too good a writer to let something this good be abandoned.

I remember when I first stumbled upon this gem in 2008, I was so captivated by your story that over the past six years I still check back occasionally hoping to see a new chapter. I still really hope you finish this story so some day when I check back I can fall in love all over with Edmond again. You're so talented!
