Authors Note:
Hello world. This is my first story and I plan on adding more chapters to it. I just recently joined this fandom and I love it. Anyways, enjoy the story. Reviews are always welcome.
Fear
Fear. It's a pretty powerful thing. It can consume us. Control us. Make us do the craziest things.
That's why I am standing here outside her window. She's in there, I know she is. I can sense her. I am so afraid of what she will say once I confess my true feelings. My feelings that are not supposed to exist. I am the almighty Maleficent. Protector of the moors. Feelings...are what make humans so weak.
It's been hours since I arrived on my little beasties balcony and I've come no further to making my presence known. Perhaps I should simply leave...no one would be the wiser. But that is cowardly and I am no coward.
After what it seems like a lifetime I finally enter Aurora's bedroom. Her shocked gasp hit's my ears and I almost step back. I continue into her room and find myself standing in front of her. "Aurora" I speak finally. My voice is a mere whisper in this room.
She runs to me and wraps me in the warmest embrace. "I have missed you so, Malle". I feel my heart begin to race. "I am terribly sorry for being gone for so long my beastie". When she finally releases me I have found that my fear has been replaced with a new feeling. A feeling of courage. Of a need to be honest for the first time in so long.
"Beastie...there is something I have been meaning to tell you." She waits patiently for me to continue. "...I...I am in love." I finally managed to spit out. Her eyes widen comically and she stutters "With whom?" I hesitate to answer her for fear I may sever whatever bond we have managed to create, with just a few short words. "With...you. I am in love with you. My heart, it calls to you whenever we are apart and beats ever faster when we are together." I turn away and am ready to leave immediately when I feel a warm hand grasp mine and spin me around. Suddenly her lips are on mine and I have never felt more alive than in this moment. When we break for much needed air, find myself at a loss for words.
Aurora smiles a blinding smile and says, "I love you as well Malle. I was unsure as to how you felt about me so I never told you."
I cannot believe my ears. "You love me?" She nods quickly. I rush to kiss her again. Our love has taken years to grow but it has grown where I assumed only darkness lay.
I will no longer let fear control me.
