Later that day as I lie staring at the darker shade of unfaded paint where the Pope poster had been, I hear hammering and the clang of metal.

‘I put gates on all the windows, so if you need to get any air you might want to try the front door first,’ Le Loup says and leaves, slamming the door behind him. I watch the locks turn as he seals me in with his keys.

I run to the windows as soon as I hear his car pull away. Thick bars hang from every window. I wrap my hands around them and scream.

I scream and scream until folks gather beneath the window to see what in all hell’s the matter. I keep screaming even when they run and fetch Stella who has a copy of the keys. I keep screaming even as she comes behind me and puts her hand over my mouth. I bite at her hand and thrash my feet, hitting onlookers in the face, groin, and shins. I scream and kick out even harder as I see Petunia heading toward me with a big fat syringe that I heard she usually uses on herself.

‘Quick, hold her arm!’ Stella directs one of the men trying to keep my limbs still.

I feel a sharp jab in my shoulder and warmth spread through my arm.

‘I told you she was really a black snake.’ I hear the dishwasher hiss as I struggle to keep fighting.

‘You can never underestimate the power of a black snake to charm and change forms,’ Mary Grace says peeping her head up from behind the dishwasher.

The room starts to slant and fade. My muscles slacken and I fall into the hands pinning me down. Before my eyes close I see Lymon looking at me with his head tilted and his eyes filled with empathic warmth, like a passerby mourning a car-hit deer being moved to the side of the road.
