Curse of Enchanted Haven

Chapter 15

-Mystic Kingdom-

Raven waved her hands, changing her clothes from her pajamas to a black riding-tailed coat with black pants and boots. She kept her hair down this time and met Merlin outside the tent. He was wearing some black and gold robes, and Raven smiled.

"Representing the New Orleans Saints! Nice!"

Merlin shook his head and replied, "I had these robes years before I became aware of the professional football team. Prepare yourself. What you will be seeing today is very graphic."

"Please tell me King Harold doesn't do anything to Evanya."

"You will see for yourself. Focus on the image I am sending you."

Raven focused on the image in her mind and waved her hands. They disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke.

-Enchanted Haven-

Evanya was sitting at her desk in the Mayor's office, signing essential documents to begin blacktopping some roads. She heard footsteps coming down the hall and looked up just in time to see who was coming to her office.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Evanya stood, bracing herself on the desk and squaring up to the one person she didn't want to see.

Rumplestiltskin wobbled into the office and said, "Oh, Evanya, time is running out. It won't be long until Jonathan is lost forever."

"Then explain why you can hear this, you old Imp. Evanya and I just broke part of the barrier of the Unseen Realm. Raven continues to use her magic while learning about everything that happened to us and how both curses came about. The more she uses her magic, the more Evanya and I can break down this curse. Our love and bond are stronger than the black magic keeping me here."

The Imp shook his head as he chuckled, and he replied, "Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, you are so naïve. Evanya still doesn't have the final information she needs to bring you back. Raven and Merlin are not anywhere near the time of your proposal to Evanya. Time is not on your side. Soon, your love will be lost in time and space."

Evanya's eyes narrowed, and an evil grin spread across her face. "That's what you believe, but we know more about our bond than you do, and we will keep that information to ourselves. You keep believing that we will lose, but we know that we will be the ones who will prevail against you."

The Imp threw back his head and laughed evilly, and the hair on Evanya and Jonathan's necks stood up. He shook his head and said, "You keep believing that you're more powerful than me, and I will sit back with a bucket of popcorn, enjoying the view of you two being so miserable that you both will become empty shells of your former selves. Farewell."

He disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, and Evanya sank into her office chair.

-Unseen Realm-

Jonathan pulled a chair next to Evanya and pulled her rolling chair closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple.

"Don't listen to him. He doesn't know what our bond can do."

"I am starting to believe him."

He turned her chair to where he was looking into her eyes. He touched her cheek and said, "Listen to me. He is doing this to discourage us. Don't let him win! We will defeat this!"

She put her hand where she felt the warm touch and felt his hand. She sighed and said, "I hope so. How much longer do we have until I lose you forever?"
