STORY TITLE TABOO LIVES REVEALED Carley Hensen's Story One of the newest star of the taboo soap-opera Secret Lives YEAR 2013 PRESENT DAY BIO CHARACTER NAME Carley Hensen birth name was Carolina Spence before she was adopted by a couple with the last name Hensen. EYES Dark blue just like her biological father who's also her uncle. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION STORYBACKGROUND INFORMATION Her life was changed forever after a story came out in a celebrity gossip magazine. Because of that story she found out that not only was she adopted, but her biological parents are famous celebrities, but as if that's not weird enough, her biological parents were brother and sister. Carley's resemblance to her biological mother Nicole Spence at 16 is uncanny. The girl could have been Nicole if it wasn't for two things. First her weight. Though not even close to plump, Carley is not 'stick-thin' like Nicole had been at her age. Second, Nicole's eyes were grey, Carley has her biological father's deep blue eyes. Her hair color is strawberry blond, and her complexion is fair, the same as Nicole's. Personality wise, she doesn't have much in common with Nicole. Nicole had always wanted to be an actress. Carley had never dreamed about being an actress, if anything she probably would have become a writer or artist. The only reason she is one of the new stars on the night time taboo soap-opera show 'Secret Lives', is because she was talked into accepting the acting job either by her half-brother slash cousin or the creators of the show after some untrue rumors about the two convinced the creators that their show's rating would sky-rocket if both teens starred on the show as brother and sister who have an incestuous affair. STORY INTRODUCTION POST It was April 21st, an unseasonably cold and wintry day, but suitably bleak considering the circumstances. The circumstances being her biological mother's funeral. Her name is Carolina, but she's better known as Carley. The nick just seemed to suit her more than the name she'd been given at her birth. The headline two weeks earlier that Nicole Spence, one of the stars of the popular night soap-opera 'Secret Lives' had been killed in a plane crash had been greeted with genuine and heartfelt grief. Not only by the dead woman's family, but also by her co-stars, the show's fans and the media in general. Only a few days before the soap-opera star's death, a story had come out in a celebrity gossip magazine that had changed Carley's life, and that of the couple who had adopted her sixteen years earlier, forever. The story had been about Nicole Spence and Carlolina Hensen, and before it had come out, Carley had never known that she was adopted. And even if she had suspected it, she never would have imagined that the famous Nicole Spence was her biological mother. Carley had learned the truth from a newspaper reporter who had approached her as she was coming out of her high school building, and when the reporter realized that the teenage girl knew nothing about it, had handed her the celebrity gossip magazine that told the sordid true story of Nicole Spence. And now here she was, standing in the graveyard surrounded by strangers who knew her biological mother better than she did. Pamela and Greg Hensen were standing on either side of Carley, they had adopted her sixteen years ago because they'd been unable to have children of their own. They were kind, loving, patient yet firm parents to Carley and yet it came out in the same celebrity gossip magazine that the only parents she'd ever known was giving her up to the man who may have raped Nicole Spence after she had joined the taboo soap opera show 'Secret Lives'. As if her life hadn't completely been pushed into the twilight zone, Pamela and Greg Hensen had arranged for Carley to move in with her biological father. He was also her biological uncle, which of course explained why Nicole Spence had put Carolina up for adoption right after she was born. According to the sordid story in the celebrity gossip magazine, Carolina was the result of a rape. Or at least that's what the reporter had claimed. Carley's father slash uncle however, had claimed that it hadn't been rape, that the two of them had been in love and they'd decided to put Carley up for adoption because they knew the world wouldn't approve and they'd thought it would be better for Carolina Carley. The sordid story read like a script for the night time soap-opera 'Secret Lives' in which Nicole Spence and her biological father slash uncle were two of the stars. The show was about secrets, desires and taboos. In fact there had been a scene in the show where Nicole's character had a secret romantic and sexual relationship with her older brother played by Carley's biological father slash uncle. The show was known for 'pushing the envelope', but that was why the show's ratings were extremely high. Good things that happened to those involved in the show resulted in high ratings, but so did bad news, gossip and of course rumors -the more distasteful or more unbelievable the rumors were, the higher the shows ratings. Carley hadn't been a fan of the show, in fact she rarely ever watched television. She was more into books, writing and drawing. And of course chatting with her friends online. One of her best friend's in school was a huge fan of the show and she'd always said that Carley's resemblence to Nicole Spence was uncanny. It was true, Carolina Hensen was a younger version of the now dead celebrity. So much so that photos of Carley now could have been photos of Nicole at age sixteen, the age she'd been when she first started on the show. Except for her eyes, Carley had her biological father's dark blue eyes. Nicole Spence had grey eyes. Carley Hensen's young life had changed from ordinary to odd in a heartbeat after the story in the celebrity gossip mag came out. Unfortunately for Carley it was was going to become even more strange. Pamela and Greg Hensen whom to everyone's shock, had agreed that Carley should live with her biological father for the next two years in two years she'd be 18. Everyone, especially the media, just assumed that it was something the couple was forcing Carolina to do. But what they did not know was that Carley had had to talk them into letting her move in with her biological father slash uncle. Unlike her biological father slash uncle, the couple who had adopted her were not rich, in fact they were struggling to survive. Pamela Hensen was a cancer survivor, however the medical bills were many and Greg Hensen's plant closing had only made things worse. They'd been talking about going bankrupt when Carley's biological father slash uncle had paid them a visit and said that he wanted Carley to live with him until she turned eighteen. He'd said that he wanted those two years to get to know his daughter. Of course Pamela and Greg Hensen were against it and without hesitation had told the man no, but Carley had been listening in. Her biological father slash uncle was, like her biological mother, a famous celebrity and very wealthy. Carley had interrupted and said that she would live with him, but only if he agreed to pay all of Pamela's medical bills so that they wouldn't have to go bankrupt. Of course he agreed, but it still took a lot of convincing on Carley's part to get Pamela and Greg to agree. And then, only after Carley promised that she would contact them if he ever did anything even slightly inapropriate so they could get her out of his mansion and back home with them where she belonged. Carley had another surprise at the funeral. A handsome teenage guy her age, sixteen, who she found out after they were introduced had the same father. But his mother was not Nicole Spence, which meant he was her half brother. But because her biological father was also her uncle, that also meant that he was her cousin too. It was weird to think about, so Carley tried very hard not to think about it. So when she moved into the mansion after leaving the funeral, she wouldn't just be living with her biological father slash uncle, she'd also be living with her cousin slash half-brother. She couldn't remember if he said his mother also lived in the mansion because after learning who the handsome sixteen year old guy was in relation to her, she'd automatically tuned out. The whole thing really was too much for her to handle. That Carley Hensen was able to function at all at this point was a miracle. When the services were over, the only parents Carley had ever known, Pamela and Greg Hensen, each hugged her tight and then watched her walk towards a long black limosene with her half-brother and biological father. It was obvious financially how different their backgrounds were. Carley was wearing a plain black ankle-length dress that wasn't designer, in contrast her half-brother and biological father's clothing were obviously expensive. As were the clothes that the other stars of the dark taboo soap-opera Secret Lives. Carley's long strawberry blond hair was pulled back away from her face and a pretty white flower barret prevented her long bangs from falling into her dark blue eyes. As for makeup, she wasn't wearing any. Not even lipgloss. She had fair skin, just like her biological mother Nicole Spence, but today she looked paler than usual and extremely sad. Though whether it was because of Nicole Spence's funeral or because she was leaving the only parents she'd ever known to live with two strangers she didn't know, was anyone's guess. Perhaps it was both. ooc This is my introduction to my story titled 'Taboo Lives Revealed-Carley Hensen's Story'. It involves incest. The incest is revealed about her biological mother and father slash uncle as fact, but in this story it's just a part of Carley Hensen's history. In 'Carley Hensen's story' I'd like the incest to only be between Carley and her half-brother slash cousin, who is the same age as her16 and I'd like that to be revealed too in public, but not as fact. As rumors only. But I was thinking that the rumors would be completely false. In the beginning there would be no truth to them at all until after both teenagers agreed to join the taboo soap opera that Carley's biological parents famous. Because the false rumors about the teenagers had bolstered their ratings, the ones in charge of the show thought that their ratings and popularity would go even higher if the two joined the show as regulars. So now on the soap opera they play brother and sister twins who fall in love and have a secret romantic and sexual relationship. The show is a real tv soap opera not a porno so there is no real sex in front of the camera crew, but they do have some very romantic scenes that later on become very steamy scenes. By the time they start acting together on the show Carley and her half-brother slash cousin are already very good friends. In fact the only reason Carley had agreed to be on the show was because he'd begged her too. or if you prefer, because the show's creator's talked her into it. After all it could be his big break. But the two really do fall in love and what use to be rumors suddenly become fact. The people behind the scenes of the show and her biological father slash uncle realize what's happening but instead of stopping it, encourage it, but publically insist that the two are just very good actors and there is no truth at all to the rumors. We could start the story right where I left off at Carley's biological mother's funeral, just reply where I left off at. Or we could fast forward a little bit to after the two teenagers have become friends and the false rumors are well known. If you'd rather start the story there then just when you reply fast forward to their first day on the taboo soap-opera 'Secret Lives' and I'll reply following your lead. BTW everything is up for discussion. Don't assume that I'm not willing to change anything just because the idea is very detailed. The above is my introductory post for this story but if you wanted this story to be slightly or completely different I can always write a different introduction post and you could respond to that instead, just tell me how you'd like the story changed first. OR you can write the introduction post and I can reply following your lead. Oh in case you were wondering, when I thought up Carley Hensen's story I didn't want force to be involved, I had wanted the incest to be romantic, BUT if you really want force in it then pm me and we can talk about it.
