Chapter 8
After Belle and Rumple walked away from the cabin and made their way to the library. Prue and Robin teleported to school in a poof of green smoke for Robin and white smoke for Prue. Prue and Robin search the inside of the school for any sign of Gideon before checking the oldest children playground and see no sign of him. The two were careful using a cloaking spell to hide the fact they were at school after hours.
"I don't think he even on school grounds," Prue says.
"There one place we haven't checked" Robin replied.
"What place"? Prue asked.
"The playground for the youngest children come on I know the way," Robin said as she walked off in the direction of the playground for the youngest children with Prue following her.
"We're here," Robin announced.
"You take the left side of the park while I'll take the right," Prue tells Robin before she starts searching the right side of the park.
"Shout if you find Gideon," Robin shouted so Prue would hear then Robin begins her search of the left side of the park.
"Come on Gideon you have to be somewhere," Robin spoke worriedly for her best friend the first person who welcomed her to Storybrooke and the first one she built a bond with Prue wished the two could be closer than friends and wonders if Gideon feels the same way. Prue walks near the tree where Gideon found the door carved into the trunk and notices the door and quickly shouts for Robin to walk over to her. Robin runs over to Prue and sees the door carved into the tree too.
"Whatever is past this door carved into the tree must be where Gideon is," Robin tells Prue.
"I agree I say we go through the door and hope we can find Gideon and help him finish what the Dark Ones want him to do" Prue replies.
"My mother is going to kill me and my aunt is going to help her," Robin says.
"Well, at least you're going to die young" Prue joked before opening the door in the tree the two take a deep breath before walking through the doorway into the deceased Dark One Ben's chamber!
Prue and Robin find themselves in the forest Gideon that was in earlier. The two quickly take in their surroundings. Prue and Robin see the castle built from the bones of fallen heroes clearly.
"How much do you bet that Gideon is in that castle," Robin asks.
"Hundred percent" Prue replies.
"I just hope we can get into the castle without being seen if there guards since we know nothing about how a chamber belonging to a Dark One works," Robin said before the two made their way to the castle.
"We've seen no signs of guards yet but I think if we split up it be a bad idea," Prue told Robin
"Same because that may be what this chamber wants," Robin spoke. The two searched most of the bottom floor until they find the study that Gideon and Adrien reside in.
"Gideon," Robin and Prue shout in unison making Gideon and Adrien turn to face them.
"Prue, Robin what are you doing here,"? Gideon asks.
"We were worried about you and to warn you that your parents are looking for you," Robin replied.
"Hmm well, well Prudence, you look even more beautiful with my own eyes instead of Gideon's," Adrien says as he walks over to Prue.
"Is this you're inner darkness," Prue questions.
"Yes, but I prefer Adrien," Adrien said.
"Oh, when did you become corporal"? Robin asked Adrien.
"Earlier today," Adrien says.
"We won't ask how we need to Gideon over to the library before his parents get there," Prue tells Gideon and Adrien.
"Sorry I can't leave yet," Gideon spoke.
"Why," Both Prue and Robin asks.
"I and Adrien need to work on drawing all the chambers closer together," Gideon says.
"But by your parents seeing you at the library will make them less suspicious," Robin pointed out.
"Fine, I bet I can get there before you, Adrien," Gideon says.
"As if" Adrien replies and with that said Gideon teleported out of the chamber in a poof of gold smoke as Adrien teleported out of the chamber in grey almost black smoke.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld at a secret location lies the Children of Darkness. The Children of Darkness are group men and women who are offspring of various Dark Ones throughout the ages. The Children of Darkness ages vary from five to around hundred plus. The Children of Darkness are sat around a large wooden table that has a crystal ball floating in the middle of the table.
"The boy is spilt," Charlotte says.
"That doesn't matter the boy is easy to manage after all our little time spying on our parents showing him the chambers they found violence and fear is an effective tool to use against him" Elliot another Child of Darkness replied.
"True but Gideon's friends Prudence and Robin they pose a threat the wolf and fairy aren't aware at the moment I propose we take the girls out of the equation," Charlotte suggests.
"What method of killing do you think is best appropriate," A Child of Darkness asked.
"Slow and painful," Charlotte chuckles.
"Now," Elliot ordered and every Child of Darkness holds out one hand which releases powerful dark magic that hits the crystal ball. The crystal ball then passes the Children of Darkness's Dark Magic to the chamber where Prue and Robin are!
Back in the chamber, were Robin and Prue stand in the study. The two gasp when they see the candles burn out and a dark mist materialises out of nowhere! Robin and Prue quickly run over to the study door. But they are cut off by the dark mist the two take a couple steps back.
"Something's wrong," Prue says.
"You think Prue," Robin snapped.
"This magic is really dark we have to get out of here teleport now," Prue said and a moment later Robin and Prue attempt to teleport out only to find that they are unable to do so.
"It's coming in on us quickly a protection spell," Robin yells as the dark mist lunges at the two girls.
"Shine bright and repel" Prue commands as she takes Robin's hands the two use their powerful Vocalisation magic to generate a bright light around them which at first repels the dark mist effectively, however, it proved that the power of countless Children of Darkness overpower the spell and the two are consumed by darkness that will slowly kill them in one of the most painful ways!
