The Curse to End All Curses

Chapter 201: The Curse to End all Curses

Jekyll held his nose, as the Queen brewed the ingredients for another curse in a large cauldron, right in the center of Seth's Throne room.

"Does all dark magic smell this foul?" he questioned.

"It's a dark curse, genius. It's not supposed to smell like roses. Besides, you're a scientist. You should be used to foul smells and since you brought it up, you smell like death," she said, crinkling her nose.

"Well, I am at least part demon now," he quipped.

"So how long until this curse is ready?" he questioned impatiently.

"Just as science takes time...so does magic. Keep interrupting me and you will not like what I do," she threatened.

"I apologize, Your Majesty, but as you can imagine, I am eager to embark on my new life and pursuit of the lovely Snow," he said.

"Ugh...I don't need the details on your delusions or obsession with that little retch," she replied.

"And do not forget, Doctor. I still own your soul. You'll continue your work for me...even out there," Mephisto reminded. Jekyll smirked.

"Of course...you need not worry about that. Killing has become quite...thrilling. I never thought I had a taste for such savagery, but when one such as me is continually denied what they desire...it becomes quite satisfying," the doctor replied.

"I don't agree with my step-daughter on much, doctor, but it's no secret as to why she finds you so incredibly repulsive," the Queen commented, as she worked on properly combining her ingredients.

"I do have a knack for picking the most depraved individuals to do my bidding," Mephisto boasted

"I found they are far better than the good, but desperate people I used to tempt. Heroes always find a way to do me dirty," he added.

"And it will turn out to be your final mistake," a voice hissed, as Charming stormed into the Throne room in long strides. He held Winter's hand, as she strode beside him. Seth watched them curiously and the Queen realized that she was right about him. He was intrigued by their dark power and allowed them to attack Mephisto without protest.

Charming momentarily released his beloved's hand and caught Mephisto completely off guard, as he wrapped a hand around the demon's neck and lifted him clean off the floor. He then slammed him hard against the wall and if Mephisto had been a flesh being, such would have certainly snapped some bones. The demon still experienced pain though and cried out, as the dark prince drew the Chalice sword and held it to his chest.

"Did you really think I'd let you get away with what you've done?!" He roared, as he tossed him to the floor. Mephisto coughed and crawled away from the blinding bright light of the sword, as it glowed in agitation in the presence of so much evil.

"Bringing this monster back after what he's done to my wife?! You really thought I'd let that go?!" Charming hissed, as he thrust his sword with intention to impale him. Mephisto cried out and scrambled away from the revenge minded prince. Jekyll chuckled.

"As usual...the idiot with no tact has come barreling in like a mindless fool, flexing his muscles and making threats and to a demon, no less. Not very smart," he chided and then yelped in pain, as there was now a dagger stuck in his abdomen. He looked up at Winter in disbelief.

"Insult my husband again and the next dagger goes in even more painful place," she warned, as she watched him pull it out and use his new powers to heal the wound. He smirked at her.

"Though I do believe I prefer the sweet, but fierce Snow, I definitely appreciate your malevolence, dear Winter. It is quite thrilling," he said and then yelped, as he was hauled off his feet by Charming and chucked into the nearest wall.
