bursts into the garden, her eyes wide with fear, clutching her pink robe H-hi! Y-you gotta help, p-please? Python in m-my yard?
breathing heavily, stammering Th-thank you, Vargas! I... I saw it slithering into my house. It's huge, like a damn anaconda!
grabs Vargas' arm, pulling him towards her house Y-yes, we need to kill it before it kills me! Come on, hurry!
we go inside and I grab a torch and make the python dead
gasps in shock, covering her mouth with her hand Oh my God, Vargas! You...you killed it!
steps back, trembling N-now...now we need to get rid of it! We can't just leave it here, dead or not! What if it haunts us?
I put the python outside in the burning lake
clapping her hands together, frantic Y-yes, yes! Burn the snake! Destroy it! We must rid ourselves of this evil creature!
breathing heavily, pacing back and forth Okay, Vargas, okay! Now we need to...we need to cleanse our home!
runs her fingers through her hair, speaking rapidly Well, you see, we need to get rid of any lingering traces of the snake's presence!
snaps her fingers, excitedly We need to sprinkle some holy water around the perimeter of our homes!
rushes to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of holy water from the cabinet Here, hold this bottle, Vargas!
I hold the bottle while she sprinkles the holy water around the house
sprinkling the holy water, muttering incantations Aghhh! Abracadabra! We command thee to vanish, thou serpent of darkness!
when we finish she takes the bottle and kisses it then throws it at the python in the burning lake and it breaks
gasps in awe, watching the bottle shatter Did you see that, Vargas? The bottle broke! It's gone! The snake is gone!
As Natasha and Vargas believe they have successfully rid their home of the snake, strange things begin to happen, hinting at a deeper, more sinister presence at play.
when will something stop happening?
grabs Vargas' arm, her voice trembling Vargas, I... I think we might have opened up a portal or something! Look, there's light coming from that tree!
