Prologue:
At first a speck, then an deep red stream dripping down my finger. I saw a drip fall to the floor and splat. Was this Maleficent's great revenge? I have always known she takes severe measures when it comes to me, but why prick me with a spinning wheel? How could that carry out her great plan of revenge? The spinning wheel, an old rusting wheel unused for decades. She had forced me to be locked away, never to see my parents again and that was equivalent was torture. It tugged at my mind. Who was I, why does my life have to be this way? I asked myself this everyday but at the moment, that nagging feeling seemed to be dulling. How could a prick on my finger be vengeance over me. A prick will heal in a days time, but a parentless childhood could not. The ache in my heart of not being raised by my own parents will never fully abandon me. That is a slash too profound to patch up.
I had been told my story by Mistress Fauna, Mistress Flora, and Mistress Merryweather; those three wonderful fairies raised me. The King and Queen, or as I call them, my father and mother had longed for a child for the longest of time and one day their wish was granted. I was born to them and my father, the King, pronounced my birthday to be a holiday for all of the kingdom. On this day, the high estate and low estate would pay homage to me, Princess Aurora. On the day of my birth my parents and the parents of Prince Philip wanted to unite their kingdoms through our marriage. We were to be married when I was of age. Then, my three fairies were each to give me one gift. Mistress Flora gave her beauty, Mistress Fauna gave me the gift of song, and Mistress Merryweather... well her gift was going to have to wait. Maleficent showed up at the castle completely uninvited and that was her reason to be upset. She barged right in on my party only to tell my parents that I would prick my finger on the spinning wheel before the sunset of my sixteenth birthday, the worst part was that this was to be the death of me. Now, Mistress Merryweather had yet to give me her gift and she did the best she could do to protect me. My gift from her was that I would not die, but I would fall into a never ending deep sleep. Magic has it's limits and it always comes with a price but any curse can be lifted. My father wanted to protect me at all costs and he ordered every spinning wheel in the kingdom to be burnt, and it was done as he ordered. I was sent to a little cabin in the woods with my three fairies and there I would stay until today; my sixteenth birthday.
Now I understood what was happening but I was too late. My head began to spin. An ache arose all over me. I was dizzy and suddenly very tired. Maleficent began to laugh. I was out of breath and panting as I managed to ask what was going on. Her response was more laughter. I was puzzled, but in my state I could not quite wrap my head around it. I heard my heart beating. I felt it in my head. Not long ago I had met a wonderful man in the forest. I told my fairies that he was wonderful and that I had to see him again. They told me it was forbidden. I begged them to let me leave and see him but they told me I couldn't because I had to marry Prince Philip. I guess I will never accomplish my dreams, to find true love and be reunited with my parents now anyway. I looked at my finger the bleeding began to end but the dizziness refused to leave. She laughed, harder and harder every time I gave her puzzled look. I wanted to scream help but I could not speak. Then I think I fell. I hit the hard ground with a thud. Then, I saw blackness. I could not see but I could hear. I heard a shrill echoing, laugh of pure evil. It was like the blackness you see at night, and it is always blackest just before dawn.
