The Incantation Page #4

Enough, Mr. Baddon.

I'm afraid I have to ask you

to finish your meal

and leave at once

before the Vicar arrives.

Oh, he's not home, is he?

Okay, I'll bite.

So what then?

Well, then, Ms. Bellerose,

you would be all-powerful.

You could do anything you want

with no consequence.

Death would be your only enemy.

As long as you were alive,

you would no longer

have to live in fear.

Mr. Baddon, I beg of you.

I'm sorry.

My manners.

It's just a spiel

that I'm perfecting

to sell more policies.

Thank you very much

for the meal, Miss Mary.

And, Ms. Lucy,

you will think about it, yes?

Sorry. I don't plan

on dying anytime soon.

No one ever does.

Don't mind him, Mademoiselle.

-The Vicar?

-No, Mr. Baddon.

No, I know. I mean, you said

he was gone for the day?

I'm afraid he's the only one

ordained in the whole parish.

He will be gone

most of the day.

Cool.

Excuse me.

Thanks for lunch, by the way.

Relax.

This is my house.

All right.

I know when you guys

see this,

it won't be live,

but I'm exploring

this really creepy castle

that my family owns.

They told me

not to come up here.

Ooooh!

If this is my last post,

please...

Hello?

Is anybody there?

It's Lucy.

Whoa.

Ugh!

-What's the matter?

Stay away.

Lucy, please. I only came back

to get my hat.

The chambermaid asked me

to come look for you.

She was certain you strayed

somewhere

where you shouldn't have.

I said back away!

Very well.

I'll just give you

a moment to calm down.

Lucy, I heard a scream.

Are you all right?

I couldn't find anyone,

so I just let myself in.

Uh, it's...

That's okay. I just...

I just finished burying your...

I mean, I'm off work.

I wanted to take you up

on that drink offer.

Sounds like you could use one.

Yeah. Yeah, I need to get

out of here for a minute.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah! Yeah, um...

I just spooked myself.

I do it a lot, actually.

I'm a glutton for punishment.

Um, so I just need

a minute to change.

You ready?

So what do you feel like?

Mm, I'm

still adjusting.

No, I mean, uh, wine, beer,

coffee, tea?

Or me?

We gotta work

on your jokes.

No, seriously, two things.

First, it's Europe,

so we drink at all hours.

And, two, it gets dark early

this time of year,

so let's make it a quick one.

That's what she said.

-Hmm?

-Never mind.

J.P., can I ask you something?

Sure, anything.

Does this place

seem a little off to you?

I'm not sure I follow, Lucy.

I don't know.

Ever since I've been here,

I just felt a little uneasy.

Well, you've only been here

a couple of days.

Ah, that way.

I mean, I just...

I don't know.

Look, Lucy, I'm not gonna lie.

Yes, the people around here
