Tiptoeing to the door, Camila Ruiz pressed her ear against it, listening intently for any movement outside. It was quiet. Not a sound.
She guessed there was no one standing guard.
She carefully tried to turn the doorknob and, to her surprise, the young man hadn't locked it.
She immediately opened the door, but her face instantly turned pale. She let out a sharp scream and stumbled several steps backward. Fleeing so hastily, she fell to the ground. Her beautiful eyes, wide with terror, stared at the python in front of the door—it was as thick as a grown man's wrist. The snake hissed at her, probably warning her not to think of stepping outside.
No wonder it was so silent outside. No person was standing guard—instead, a snake had taken the role.
The sight of the large python, coiled into a mass, made goosebumps crawl all over her skin.
Even men would feel their scalp tingle at the sight of such a thick snake, let alone a girl of her age.
"Don't, don't come in..."
