Given the choice, after giving birth to vampire twins, Sasha Blythe, Guardian of the Stones and occassional police sergent, would very much have prefered to spend Christmas and New Year drinking her weight in Black Russians. What was the point in selflessly giving the twins over to the father if she couldn’t make the most of total parental freedom? Maybe selflessly was a little wide of the mark. You didn’t say no to Karol Dragan, Prince of all the vampires, especially when the twin girls would in effect save his species from a miserable, male dominated descent into a dreary, loveless existence.
But she wasn’t given the choice and now with the entire witchy world up in arms over what should have been a few hours of harmless entertainment in the form of a Halloween broadcast from possibly the most haunted house in England by the popular team of Is Anybody there?, Sasha finds herself being blackmailed by the Witches’ Council into fulfilling one of their utterly ridiculous prophecies or being persecuted by the witches forever. Totally free of charge of course. What was it with witches and extortion?
Sasha had half a mind to tell them to jog on but her half sister and close ally is a witch and Sasha needs all the friends she can get as her lovely, peaceful, trouble-free life just seems to get darker and more chaotic. Seriously, who would have thought that having a god for a father and a vampire for a lover could be so much damn trouble? And in what nightmare would she ever want to go looking for the graves of half a dozen centuries old White Witches buried in quick lime and never allowed to reincarnate? Who would do that? They would have to be totally nuts? Disinter sisters that were the personification of evil before they were trapped in an unmarked grave with absolutely no hope of ever being able to move on or at least die? Was she really that desperate to keep the sisters off her back, especially when it becomes apparant that her great grandmother put them in the ground in the first place? Wait till that little nugget became common knowledge.
Will Sasha ever get a break? Maybe. But if she’s learned one thing over the the last twelve months it’s to be very careful what you wish for.
