Cursed Night Prince

Chapter Three

Cursed Night Prince

The white witches surrounded the child who was giggling and smiling brightly. He was so full of life and at a point, it seemed like he was mocking them.

" Evil cannot reside in this body." Grandmother who looked manifest in her white robe screamed at the top of her lungs. The other witches began chanting as grandmother stirred the big golden pot on front of her. The louder they changed, the more the liquid in the pot boiled until the color changed to green from black.

One of the young witches carried the baby and dipped him into the content, apart from the head. The baby smiled brighter and chuckled louder.

Deep in the forest, Hazel couldn't stop laughing as she watched the white witches try so hard to deliver the child.

" How do they think that they could cheat nature? Bianca should know better. It takes the person who makes an oath to break it and for a greater prize. The queen's death was not my doing, it was just a coincidence. As for the heart, body and soul of the child, it belongs to me and I will feed my hungry soul through the baby. " She laughed hysterically. Her other minons joined her in laughing. This was the long revenge on the Bianca; the King's grandmother for driving them away from their home.

Grandmother knew that everything she was doing was having little or no effect. She just had to try!

" We have no choice." She yelled and without any warning or hesitation, she stabbed the heart of the child immediately. The baby wailed as tears gushed out of his chest but after some seconds, the wound gradually closed and his broken flesh repaired itself.

" We are doomed." The white witches couldn't believe their eyes. It was like only a needle peirced the child. Grandmother Bianca looked at her minons for help but they were all as clueless as she was. She could already imagine how much of a demon he was going to be. He would kill and squeeze the life from those who stood in his way.

She thought it best to come face to face with the only person she knew was capable of this evil. " Hazel" she breathe.

" Who do we have here?" Hazel smiled brightly not surprised to see Bianca in her territory. Infact, she was expecting her, and Hazel felt so proud of herself for being able to command the presence of the powerful witch.

" Are you here to chase us from here too?" Hazel asked with hatred in her eyes. She was no longer smiling and for a few minutes, she coveted everything Bianca was. Many years ago, Bianca was her closest friend until jealousy filled Hazel's heart. Bianca was a queen mother, one of the greatest and most powerful witch and the most respected woman in the kingdom. If people were left to do what they wanted, they would have turned Bianca to a god. This made Hazel to go in the opposite direction.

" Undo the evil you did to that innocent child." Grandmother Bianca spoke.

" You know better than anyone here that I didn't do anything. I only made use of the opportunity that presented itself. I am not a creator, I can't give a child but I am a faith booster." She laughed.

Grandmother Bianca wished the late queen had believed in herself and waited a little longer, then all this wouldn't have happened. She could only give birth to a male child because she was destined to. If she wasn't, there was no way that male child would have come.

" I made her believe eating the apple would make her have a son when in fact, it was only a s*x booster. She trusted me and in everything I did when infact it was her own believe and determination that brought forth the male child. I only helped!" Hazel blinked.

" Just let the little child go." Bianca wasn't interested in all those stories because she knew how these things worked.

" The earth hold our unbreakable oath, the air is a witness to our covenant." She winked at Bianca. Grandmother knew Hazel would never break the oath, she only wanted to give it a shot.

" There is only one lat thing I can do." Grandmother looked at her minons and they already understood the spell she was talking about.

" You will loose your life." One said painfully.

" I have no choice, it's the last straw." She responded shaking her head.

" This will be my gift to this kingdom, watch over him. The evil in his heart..." She bent her head unable to describe the disaster she forsaw.

" One of you will succeed me, remember good always prevail. Hazel has to pay for this she has done , don't forget." She removed her cloack.

" Nothing happens by chance, I never knew this was how I was going to die. Everything happening now, has already happened before. We are only reliving it, take care you all." She closed her eyes knowing fully well that her minos were trying really hard not to cry.

" As the queen of the white witches, I hereby add a clause to the evil already on earth. With my life, and all the power I hold, evil shall prevail until a human girl finds the heart of the heartless one. The unlovable must be loved and pure good shall embrace evil, them and only then, will there be light." Bianca screamed at the top of her voice and accompanied with thunders and lightening, she casted the great spell. Her golden girl turned dark, her shiny skin turned pale, her shiny eyes became lifeless. She just used her life to add a clause to fate.

" She is dead." One of the witches said. Glittering light danced around her showing that her soul already left. In three days, after the burial of the queen mother a new queen would be chosen.
