A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Mrs. Yang went back to bed with her husband right after she locked Donny inside his room.

She woke up in the middle of the night to go relieve herself when she realized that the portable toilet was outside the door, so she had to get up and go out. As soon as she was done she raced back inside shivering with cold.

When she stepped inside, something didn't feel right. It seemed like she had stepped on something soft and slippery. As if that weren't bad enough, she felt it slither past her fast really quickly!

'Where is that hissing sound coming from? No...could it... could it be a snake?' She reluctantly lowered her head to look down and the moment she realized what was underneath her feet her entire body froze on the spot.

Mrs. Yang, much to her chagrin, had stepped on, not one but two venomous snakes!

Before she was able to move her feet away, the two snakes bit her on the ankle and left four puncture marks at the wound. With each bite, venom was injected inside Mrs. Yang's flesh and bloodstream.

She felt nauseated by the stabbing pain at the area of the bite. The poison soon affected her muscles which caused a shortness of breath and an inability to speak, move or see clearly. Somehow a scream dragged up her throat. "Help! Somebody please help me!"

The shrill sound of her scream cut through the dark night like a knife and frightened the sleeping birds on the trees, who fluttered their wings uncontrollably.

While the two slithery intruders crawled into a hole on the ground and vanished from her sight just seconds after they had attacked her.

"Can anybody hear me? Somebody, please help! Snakes! Snakes! I got bitten by snakes!" Before long, drowsiness came over her as she found it difficult to speak and move due to the paralysis of her limbs and muscles.

It was smack in the middle of winter. Where did the snakes come from?

Snake... snake... Who would want her dead? Who would have the guts to pull off something like this?

'Could it be...' she remembered the snake that she used to hurt Emily with. 'Does Bear know? Does he know?!
