"You should take cover." Hope tells him
"Like hell." Dr Saltzman says
"Then tell me how I'm gonna explain to your daughters that all that's left of you is hot ash." Hope snaps at him
"The dad card?" Dr Saltzman asks. "That's a low blow." He looks up at the dragon coming back. "All right."
He runs into the cellar and closes the door
"What do we do?" Sadie asks Hope, looking up at the approaching dragon
Hope grabs a paper from her pocket and unfolds it
"Hope, it's getting closer." Sadie warns
"Here." Hope says, holding the paper in front of Sadie and her. "This is the spell we're doing."
"Hope, this is black magic." Sadie tells her
"Sarah, we're running out of time!" Hope warns her, using her full name to show the seriousness of the sitution. "Do the spell with me."
"I can't afford black magic in me." Sadie tells her, scared and backing up
SADIE: There's a very good reason why I can't use black magic...but that'll come up later
Hope huffs before looking up at the dragon
"Then get out of here." Hope says and Sadie backs up more. "Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortem." Hope starts chanting. The dragon gets closer. "Et conteret spiritum. Frange vitam."
"Oh, god." Sadie mutters
Sadie runs next to Hope and looks to the paper, chanting along with Hope
"Nolite corde. Ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in sempiternum. Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortem. Et conteret spiritum. Frange vitam." The two girls chant. "Nolite corde. Ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in sempiternum."
An explosion knocks the girls back
Hope gets up and helps Sadie off the floor
The woman is laying on the ground, covered in ash and blood
Hope walks over to her, holding the knife up as if to strike
"Where did you come from?" Hope asks. "Why do you want this so badly? What's so special about it?" The woman is silent. "Say something!" Hope says, her voice wavering
The woman is about to shoot more fire at them when Dr Saltzman grabs the knife from Hope and kills the woman
Hope crouches down to the woman
"Guess that was the soft spot." Hope says
Sadie looks back and sees Dr Saltzman grab the paper with the dark magic spell
"Uh oh..." Sadie whispers
"What is this?" Dr Saltzman asks and Hope stands up. "This isn't earth magic, Hope."
"This wasn't an earth magic problem." Hope says, standing in front of him and next to Sadie.
"We don't allow black magic." Dr Saltzman scolds her. "It gets inside your heart and it poisons your mind." He looks to Sadie. "Did you do this spell?"
Sadie stares at him
"Sarah." Dr Saltzman says forcefully. "Did you do this spell?"
Sadie looks down, nodding
"Do you understand what could happen to you with black magic in you?" Dr Saltzman yells at her. "I thought you girls were smarter than this. And Hope, I looked the other way this morning 'cause I knew you were upset, but this is a death spell." Sadie's eyes widen. "A spell you couldn't have known you need to use on a dragon, which... which means you had other plans for it. Landon did something stupid, maybe evil. We won't know until we learn more, but... he's still just a kid, Hope... and so are you. This hatred... this vengeance... This is your father. It can't be you. I won't allow it." He looks down at the woman. "Now, you bury her. Sarah, you're with me. Hope, I'll see you back at the car."
