For the second time in her career, Cassandra Goth found herself needing to reappear after an absence.
Granted,
this time she'd only been out of the spotlight for a year or so, rather
than more than a decade, but she had, officially been dead this time.
They pitched it as "The Resurrection of the Raven Witch"
The press ate it up.
Officially, the story was that the family had been forced into hiding after an attack by the sinister crime ring lead by Nancy Landgraab and Vlad Straud. The old feud between the Goth and Landgraab families was rehashed in the media, prompting vigorous denials from the Landgraab's legal team. The mysterious background of Count Straud, still officially at large and being sought by authorities, added an even more disquieting aspect to the story.
At the advice of her PR firm, Cassie neither confirmed not denied anything. Difficult questions were answered with a knowing look and a sultry smile.

("Thanks mom," Miranda muttered. "Just what every teen wants to see... her mom's butt plastered all over the entertainment news."
"At least they haven't found those pictures your father took," Cassie smiled ruefully.
"Ewww... I did NOT need to know that!")
Resurrected and at the top of the music scene, Cassie's agent suggested they needed to try a new project... Acting!
Cassie was resistant at first, wanting to focus on her music...
... but Gwen suggested that a new project was just what she needed...
... and, as always, she was willing to help Cassie on that new path.

They started small... commercial spots endorsing instruments.
"Ugh... mom!"
A guest spot in the musical segment on a popular children's program...
"Seriously mom?"
"You know someone can physically die of embarrassment, right?"
"You know someone can physically die of embarrassment, right?"
...and finally a popular daytime TV show.
"Well, this isn't so bad," Miranda allowed.
"Mom! What did Gwen say about this?"
"It's just acting dear," Cassie smiled. "Besides, she didn't actually object to me living with your father, making you and almost marrying him. So, I'm really not sure what she would object to... and I certainly don't intend to try and find out."

Certainly the new acting roles garnered attention and Cassie found herself invited to the Starlight Accolades...
