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.
I knew him all too well.  He was just so out of this world.  The passion that I felt..."
Will Kitty's relationship with her father cause her to detach from her beloved Emanuel? Or will she fight for what she believes?

Vatican Nights

	I remembered it like the back of my hand.  That day in the Vatican. The day that Emanuel had approached me and asked me if I was emo.


	All I could do was roll my eyes and tell him what he needed to hear.  That no, I wasn’t.  And that he probably vastly misunderstood the meaning of emo.


	At first, I took him as a joke.  I didn’t take him seriously in any way.


	The emo subculture wasn’t what everyone thought.  Sometimes being emotional could be good.  Not all the time, but sometimes.  Only when I needed it to .


	After that, he left me alone for a while, and I felt so good about myself that I wrote about the experience later on.


	I spent so many of my hours on my own.


	Lately, especially.  Once in my life, I tried to make friends outside of the Vatican.  Really, I did.  But that didn’t seem to happen for me lately.
