A Curse that can't be Broken

Silver and Gold

Gold looked up at the sound of the bell ringing. He touched his tongue to his back molar when he saw a tall man walk in. He had never seen this man before, so he was cautious. The Dark One never had to be, but when it came to strangers, he still needed to take his time.

"May I help you?" Gold asked as he slowly and casually packed up the items on his desk away. With recent events he didn't need strangers knowing what he was doing.

The man flicked his cane as he wondered around the store, looking at all the strange and unusual items Gold had collected through his life.

"I hear you are the one to go to, if someone like me... Wanted to find someone." Uther stated as he slowly turned his attention to the Dark One.

"A tracking spell." Gold tilted his head curiously. "And who would you be looking for exactly?"

Uther finally made his way to the front counter, giving Gold a sly and devious smirk. "Does it matter?" he asked.

Gold returned the facial expression, "What if is does?"

Uther bit his lower lip as his eyes wandered about once more. He paused and looked back to Gold, making sure his eyes were locked with the Dark One. He leaned on the counter and picked up an item, inspecting it as he brought it into the light. "Or you can just track this person for me and then tell me where he or she might be." His words didn't sound like a question, but a demand in a calming tone.

Gold reached out and took the item from Uther. "Or you can tell me who they are. And Then! i might help you find them." Gold raised a finger.

Uther frowned that Gold took the item from him, but smiled all the same. "To be honest.. From one dark magic user to the other... I don't know who they are." Uther placed both hands on the counter and leaned on them.

Gold rose a brow. "And why would you need to find this person?" he asked.

Uther mimicked the expression, "They are using something of mine." He stated in a deep dull tone. "Something that no one else should even know about." He twisted his lips as he once more looked about.

Gold shook his head. "Unless you know who they are or have something of theirs, I can not help you." Gold stated.

Uther looked back to Gold and smiled.

This made Gold's stomach turn. No one was ever happy after Gold turned them away. But this guy...

"I'm sure we can work something out..." Uther smirked.

Uther's words made Gold cringe for some reason. He was not the kind of man that would be scared by anything, but for some reason this man made his hair stand on ends.

Without warning Uther flicked his cane and shoved it towards Gold. A force flung Gold back and up against the wall. His feet far from the ground as the force pinned him there. With another wave of his cane Gold's hands out stretched and were locked into place. Now, Gold had to look down at Uther as the man laughed a little and made his way around the counter.

"You have no idea who you're messing with." Gold warned.

Uther looked surprised for a second, "Should I be worried?" he asked raising both brows. Another smirk came to his lips as he strolled towards Gold.

"Now... I am looking for someone... And you... Are going to help me find them." Uther stated as he looked Gold up and down.

Gold hissed through his teeth as he tried to look Uther in the eyes, but the force was so strong that he could not move his head.

"I shall do no such thing." Gold sneered.

Uther chuckled. "You don't have to comply for this part." He smiled.
