CHAPTER TWO
The knock at the door made Rumplestilsken jump a bit. Because of his reputation, he hadn't gotten many visitors for the past year at least. He certainly wasnt expecting that on the one of the coldest days of the year was when he would finally have someone come see him.
Composing himself,he put on his trademark creepy smile and went to answer the door. "why hello dearie!" he giggled, looking at David's nervous face "what can I do for you?"
David shivered and said through chattering teeth "It's my wife, she's very sick and pregnant. Do you perhaps have any potions could help her?"
"Ah ha! I see." Rumplestilsken replied, moving his hands dramatically "why don't you come inside to recover a bit from the cold and I can figure out what to do for her."
David followed Rumplestilsken, involuntarily making his body smaller. Rumplestilsken gestured towards a chair that looked like it was made out of the carcass of a cow. David stiffened and sat down keeping in mind that everything he's doing is for his Snow.
"Well first things first, dearie." Rumplestilsken was saying. "Let's find out if you and your wife are true loves"
"Why?" David asked as he started biting on his lip.
Rumplestilsken giggled "Well obviously to make it easier to heal her. Now do you have anything belonging or made by your wife with you? As well as something of yours?"
Rumplestilsken, as he often did, was lying. In fact he was fairly certain a simple healing potion would work. Rumplestilsken needed this information for... other reasons, shall we say.
David supplied his scarf. A birthday present Snow had made for him two years previously. He also handed over sack which he had wove himself as practise for learning how to weave.
Rumplestilsken quickly took each item and place them in a bowl of... something. David wasn't quite sure what it was.
"Great news dearie!" Rumplestilsken said handing the items back. "you and your wife are true loves." he looked on his bookshelf and extracted a small vial of standard healing potion "Give her this and she shall be cured."
David stood up, took the potion and started heading for the door "thank you!" He called after himself.
"Just a minute dearie," Rumplestilsken giggled again "I don't work for free you know"
