Yeah, this one has been going through a few re-writtings. Why is that? I forgot a little something.. That something will appear in the next chapter. Also, fixed a typo in the very first chapter: Taren has been changed to Taran. Thanks for pointing that out :)

-Kraken Guard

Poison was the way the Queen would strike, and the only method she would use on Snow White. She no longer had the ingrediants to make another Poisoned Apple, so this time she shall use a Poisoned Comb instead.. Either way, the Poisoned Apple would not work this time. She had been revived, and if she were to eat another, they would already have the cure.. Love's first Kiss.. This time, the Queen wanted a poison with no awakening and no Love's First Kiss.. But what of the Prince and the dwarves? Perhaps she would have the others turn the Prince into a Dog? As for the dwarves, the others can do what they please..
The Queen had plenty of combs, but no ingrediants.. Perhaps Maleficent could fix that? She was good with cursing and poisoning objects. Poison one of these combs, so that Snow White would never awaken..

Here they were now, inside the Wicked Queens castle.. It seemed the castle had been abandoned after the Queen's death, and now the entire castle seemed covered in dust, mold and cobwebs.. Judging from what Frollo saw, some of the spiders had ran afoul of some of the Queen's potions and were now the size of a grown mans arm.

"Witchcraft.. I am disgusted to work with those who perform such dark arts." Frollo said as he saw one of the giant spiders scurry off into the darkness.

"Well, im afraid you wont like me much either if every magic trick you see is considered witchcraft.." Said Jafar in reply with a dry tone to his voice as he looked around the large hallways.

"Shame.." Spoke the Horned King as he tried openning the door which lead to the Library, but to no avail.. "I am quite curious as to what secrets are held within the books that the lady queen has within her library."

"You shall have your chance.." Said the Queen, sending a cold look towards the Horned King. "After we have dealt with the princess."

"Very well.."

"Good god!" Said Clayton, pulling out his gun as he saw another giant spider scurry off into the shadows. "I am going to have nightmares for months."

"Dont worry. The spiders seem frightened by the presence of me, Maleficent and the Horned King." Said Jafar with no fear in his voice.

"Indeed. It would be best if we were to stick close.." Maleficent added in. Clayton wasn't the only one getting shivers running down his spine. Frollo was also beginning to have that cold chill running down his spine as well..

"It's a good thing i didn't go, what with the giant spiders and all.." Said Professor Ratigan back at the Underworld as he watched what all was going on. He wasn't the only one who was abscent during this mission. Scar, Ursula and Oogie Boogie had stayed behind as well.

"Those two are wussies!" Said Oogie Boogie, refering to Clayton and Frollo. "Frightened of little ol' spiders.."

"Except that one isn't any little old spider.." Scar spoke up next.. Just as the other villains walked out of view, an even larger spider came into view. One that was as big as a bear..

"Well, that cant be good.." Ursula said upon seeing the giant spider.

"Relax!" Hades said, putting both his arms behind his head as he watched the events unfolding while sitting ontop his throne, relaxing. "Im sure they can handle giant spiders.."

"Never did i imagine that i would be forced to part with one of my beloved combs, but if it is the only way to rid the world of Snow White, so be it.." Said the Queen as she browsed through her selection of combs..

"And what if your plan doesn't work?" Said Maleficent. "What if you were to kill Snow White and succeeded, yet still weren't fairest of them all? what would you do then? I highly doubt killing would make you anymore fair then her.."

"Indeed, Maleficent does have a point.." Jafar added in, nodding..

"If i will not be fairest of them all, then no one will.." The Queen replied with a voice laced with venom. Finally, she picked out the comb that she would use to kill Snow White. "Fitting for one so fair.." The Queen said to herself with a smile as she looked the comb over. The Comb was silver and bared much resemblence to that of a rose, and various small gems adorned the silver rose: Gems that were as red as the Poisoned Apple.. The teeth of the comb were also long and sharp. The Queen seemed to recall pricking her finger one time while combing her hair with it.. Indeed, this shall do fine. The Queen then turned around and walked towards Maleficent and gave her the comb. "This shall suffice." Said the Queen.

"Very well. I shall begin tainting this comb. Know that it will take a few minutes. Perhaps seven to thirteen to be precise." Maleficent said.

"I dont care how long it takes, just make it as powerful as you can." The Queen replied with a demanding tone to her voice.

"As you wish.." Said Maleficent..

Clayton, Frollo and the Horned King were waiting outside the Queen's chambers and making sure that no unwanted visitors came along. Frollo began to wrinkle his nose as he caught the scent of something other then mold and dust.. Looking over at Clayton, he saw that the poacher was smoking his pipe. "Are you sure that is wise, what with these unholy spiders loose?" Questioned Frollo.

"I highly doubt Spiders have the ability to smell.." Said Clayton. "You seem a little tense. Lighten up!"

"I am tense because i know that Gypsy-Witch is still out there, causing havoc and chaos back at Paris!" Frollo replied with a defensive tone to his voice. Clayton only shrugged in reply.. A few more minutes have passed, and Clayton decided to start a conversation.

"So tell me, what's it like back at Piradain?" Said Clayton, looking over at the Horned King.

"It's called Prydain.." The Horned King replied with an emotionless tone to his voice. "It is a lush, green land with forests, mountains and grasslands.." The Horned King began but was quickly interrupted.

"Until you came along.." Said Frollo with a slight sneer. The Horned King laughed in reply.

"Indeed! Prydain is not what it once was. I am one of the reasons why.." Said the Horned King with an evil grin. The grin faded, however, and the Horned King shook his head. "Surprisingly though, it began centuries ago before my reign.. "Legend has it, in the mystic land of Prydain, there was once a king so cruel and so evil, that even the gods feared him. Since no prison could hold him, he was thrown alive in to a crucible of molten iron. There his demonic spirit was captured in the form of a great Black Cauldron." As the old stories said.."

"Oh, i seem to remember that while reading about you in the List of Friends!" Said Clayton. "It said that the Black Cauldron was also your death."

"Unfortunately.." The Horned King said with a voice mixed with a hiss and a growl as he remembered his demise.

"What about you, old boy? What else can you tell us of this Gypsy-Witch?" Clayton said, this time to Frollo.

"Words cannot describe how crafty that witch is.." Spoke Frollo, but silence quickly followed..

"Anything else you would like to say?" Clayton asked, but there was no reply.. "Apparently not.." Clayton added in upon hearing no reply.. Just then, Clayton, Frollo and the Horned King all turned and looked as they heard the door to the Queen's Chamber open. Out walked Jafar and the Queen herself.. But where was Maleficent?

"Shall we be on our way?" Said the Queen.

"What of the lady Maleficent?" Questioned the Horned King.

"She is currently tainting the comb. She said she will catch up, unless you doubt her.."

"No, not at all.."

"Then let us be on our way.." And with that the Queen began to walk away with Clayton, Frollo and Jafar following.. The Horned King stared at the door for a moment, but eventually, he too began to follow the Queen..

"So, how do you plan on going about killing the princess?" Questioned Frollo.

"With either Maleficent or Jafar's help, disguise each one of us so that we come offering Snow White a birthday gift." Replied the Queen, not making any eye contact what so ever..

"The princesses birthday is nearby?" Said Clayton.

"Indeed, and what better present then one that would kill her?"

"You are one shrew of a woman.." Clayton said as he heard the Queen's reply.. Just then, they all stopped when they heard a sickening sound: They turned around and looked at Frollo, who seemed Paralyzed. But then, they saw the Horned King standing right behind him. At this angle, it looked like he had stabbed the man! But when Frollo slowly turned around, they all noticed that the Horned King was holding one of the large spiders, which wriggled and twitched to try and free itself from the Horned King's deathly grasp. Apparently his sharp nails had dug into the spider judging from the bright green slime dripping down.

"You had something stuck on your back, judge.." Said the Horned King with an 'as-a-matter-of-fact' tone to his voice before he let go of the spider and stepped on it, crushing and ending the poor creatures life.. Clayton quickly looked away as he saw the slime oozing out of the dead spider, hoping he wouldn't lose whatever was left inside his stomach. Frollo kept his gaze on the spider for a few moments, and then looked up at the Horned King and raised an eyebrow.

"Thank you.." He said with no emotion before turning stepping away from the Horned King.

"Dont scare us! It looked like you stabbed Frollo.." Said Jafar, shaking his head.

"I am tempted at times, but no.. If i am to kill him, it would be by strangulation.." The Horned King replied, emotionless once again.

"You will have your chance, Satan.. But for now, let us continue." Replied Frollo with a sneer. And with that, the villains made their way back to the entryway of the Queen's castle. Or so they thought.. As they were walking down the hallway, the Queen continued walking and eventually walked passed the hallway that lead to the entryway. Clayton and the Horned King stopped for a moment and glanced at eachother, confused.

"Pardon me, my lady.. But isn't the entrance the other way?" Questioned the Horned King, looking down the other hallway then back at the queen.

"You are correct, your majesty. But first, we must find out Snow White's whereabouts." Replied the Queen. Clayton went to say something in reply, but couldn't find the right words. He looked back at the Horned King and shrugged.

"She knows what she is doing.." Said the Horned King. And with that, they followed the queen..
