Halloween
On Friday, Victoria blocked off the last two hours of the day for the children's Halloween party. She was appropriately terrified of their costumes, supplied them with nutritious snacks, and showed a G-rated Halloween movie.
She also made certain to caution her children as to what to do with should the encounter a monster. It might result in a few trick-or-treating black eyes or bruises, but they would be prepared for the real creatures that prowled this night.
She herself would be busy enough dealing with those on the next three nights.
As it was, she was out until two a.m on Friday., having stopped a werewolf, two vampires, banished three ghosts, exorcised two cases of demonic position, and was forced to hit a closet monster with a very heavy stick while telling the child who had witnessed it to go back to bed.
On Saturday night, she broke up an argument between Terrance Thirteen and a very angry spider-demon, rounded up a colony of pixies, assisted Boston Brand in de-haunting a house, and had to help Stanley Dover, Jr, get his Monster out of the city pound.
On Sunday night, she spent virtually the entire evening dealing with an immortal witch trying to harvest the souls of children, and later politely, but firmly, directed Solomon Grundy back to his swamp.
When she returned home, there was a message on the phone from her mother, wishing her a happy birthday. And also a box of chocolates, that had not been there before, from her father.
Supernatural or not, Victoria would need what few hours of sleep she could get tonight. For tomorrow... was a school day.
