Pope Leo's daughter, Kitty, is a witch who is always engaging herself in some form of adventure -- telling stories entwined within stories. All, of course, told from behind the scenes of the Vatican.
"I looked at him with glassy eyes, regretting deeply all the time I had invested in coming to know him.  Day after day – whenever I had the urge, that is – I’d ventured forth dreamily in the outskirts of the Vatican, privately, away from my father.  Sometimes he’d even set aside special time for me to visit him, even if he was busy with “pack business.”
"But still.  Nothing.  Nothing more than the cradle of my black, dismal silence.  Screams from a primal spirit.  My Emanuel.

Vatican Nights

	“You must have patience with yourself.  Don’t continue to beat yourself up if you can’t handle it,” Teal said as I looked at her out of the corner of my eye.


	“And what would you know about beating yourself up?  You’re a spirit.  Spirits live with peace in their souls.”

	But just as I attempted to avert my gaze, Teal grabbed me by the nape of my neck and shoved me against the wall.  Violently.


	“What the hell was that for?”  I whimpered, hoping that would at least be the last of it.


	“You need to prepare yourself for the impending death of your father- he’s going to be assassinated soon.”
