Prince of Hell's Queen || Caliban, Demon Prince of Hell...

Chapter 3: Straight to Hell

Sabrina's Point of View

I go to Dorian's Grey Room after Miss Wardwell talked about Dante's Inferno and I did some more research in the academy. She said something about windows, which are like mirrors and mirrors are like portals. Dorian has some paintings that are portals.
"Dorian?" I call out walking down to the bar, "Dorian Grey. I need your help."
"Don't look at me. I'm hideous!" He replies hiding his face.
"What? What happened?" I ask calmly.
"I have a..." He turns around and continues talking, "... a pimple..."
He talkes about not having a pimple since some basil painted his portrait.
"Actually, that's why I came to see you. You're an art collector, right?"
He nods.
"Do you have any paintings of Hell?" I question.
He scoffs, "Several. Doesn't everyone?"
"Yes, but any of them... a portal?"
"You think you can just pop into Hell and save darling Nicky?" He says in disbelief... "Well, it doesn't quite work like that. Once your in Hell, no one is particularly inclined to let you leave. And yes, I do have a... portal, which I'll allow you to use,... for a price. I want you to bring something back for me."
"Lemme' guess? Your soul?"
"No. I have no use for that. There is only one flower that grows in hell,... in the forest of torment. La fleur de mal. It is the original flower of evil that inspired the poet, Baudelaire. Its nectar could help with my... facial deformity... Bring it back for me, and I'll arrange safe passage for you."
"Done!" I say smiling, "Although it's not just going to be safe passage for me."

BAXTER HIGH

" GUYS! IT'S TIME FOR OPERATION HANDBASKET!!" I shout in happiness.
"Hell...." Theo asks, "Like Hell Hell?"
"Yeah, Hell Hell.." I reply

SPELLMAN HOUSE

We all walk inside the house and make out way to embalming room.
"Are your aunts home?" Harvey asks.
"No, they're staying at the academy, so the timing is perfect." I say out of breath.

EMBALMING ROOM

We cover ourselves in water.
"What is this stuff again?" Harvey asks.
"Ghastly water, I believe?" Bri says.
"Correct." I reply to Bri, " It's basically water you get from wiping down corpses."
Everyone stops and looks at me.
"Eww." Roz whispers. "And we're doing this why?"
"It'll keep the demons from smelling us." I say looking at Roz, then I nod and look at a different direction. "We have to wear these shoes too... Dead people's shoes,... for only the dead my walk the paths of Hell..."
"Okay..." Roz says nervously.
Salem sits on the shoes and purrs.
"I'm sorry, Salem, but you're gonna have to sit this one out. If you came with us, you'd have every hound of Hell from Barghest to Old Shuck, chasing us down."
He purrs again, loudly and then walks away.

DORIAN'S GREY ROOM

"Mind you, the Inferno is a lonely, desolate place. You might not see many monsters or demons, but they're there. Find your way to the City of Pandemonium as quickly as possible. And don't forget, the incantation I gave you to transport you back..., it won't work unless your holding my flower." Dorian says cautiously. I nod and look at the portal.

"Bri, Help me?" I ask. She nods and stands beside me. "I love you guys..."
"Also everybody stay close." Bridget warns
"Through me, pass into the unholy kingdom. Through me, pass into the city of fear. I am the gate for the lost and Forsaken. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!" Me and Bridget say loudly as the wind overwhelms our quiet voices. I look at the portal before we walk through it, hesitating, but then muster up the courage to go through it.
Then we arrive....
