Set during "Best Laid Plans" of 4b during sleeping curse of Storybrooke
Phillip had just gotten over after picking up Phillip Jr. from daycare. The moment he arrived home, her son and her husband fell fast asleep. Thankfully, they weren't driving those strange carriages Aurora was so concerned about. Aurora was devastated. She went outside to call for help. No one came to her aid. She tried to kiss both her husband and her newborn son but it was futile.
"What happened?" she asked aloud.
"Don't worry dear, it's only temporary," came an eerie voice.
"Maleficent!" Aurora hissed, "I should've known you'd be behind this! What do you want?"
"Nothing that concerns you," the sinister sorceress said.
"How are you alive?" Aurora asked, perplexed, "Emma told me she killed you in dragon form."
"That's all thanks to my associates." Maleficent said. "We're in town looking for the author of a magical book who has the power to change all our fates." She gently picked up Phillip Jr.
"Let go of him!" Aurora shouted.
"So precious," Maleficent said, "He'd make a lovely snack to calm the beast within. But don't worry, I'm not hungry. I can feel your pain, Aurora. My child was taken from me by Snow White and Prince Charming. For that injustice, they will pay. I have no quarrel with you. Just stay out of my way. You don't want to mess with me or my allies. If you so much as breathe a word to Snow & Charming, I'll incinerate your family and make sure you slumber forever trapped in your worst nightmares! Farewell!" The Mistress of All Evil vanished in green flame.
