Aurora sat by the pretty rainbow water looking down at the beautiful gold crown that was given to her by her aunties. She felt such happiness in her heart that she could be close with godmother and the moors. Godmother had given her life again, she had given her the love that no one could ever give her.

Aurora noticed a familiar shadow only a few feet from her. She smiled. "I know you're there. Don't be afraid."

Maleficent walked out and gave a warm smile, "I am not afraid." Maleficent felt a huge flutter in her stomach seeing those blue eyes look at her. Her heart started to pound in her chest as she sat down next to Aurora.

Aurora inhaled deeply as godmother sat down. Aurora could smell that beautiful scent of rain and blossom petals that godmother always has. She looked stunning. Her hair was long past her shoulders and shined the most beautiful chestnut brown. Her green eyes sparkled. Her silk, forest green dress hugged her slender body frame. Aurora always found it hard not to stare at her.

"Did you enjoy the celebration, beastie?" Maleficent asked softly.

"I did very much, godmother. Now I am not sure what do from here. Everything is happening so fast. I barely know my people and yet I have to watch over them in the near future. I don't want to move away from here...I don't want to move away from you."

"I'd love for you to stay here with me. It gets lonely for me sometimes. Diaval has his own family to look after now too." Maleficent heart ached at the thought of Aurora leaving the moors, but she knew she couldn't be selfish. Not again. "But you need to do what is right for you and maybe that is ruling and becoming more socialized with the humans."

"Humans are...different. I know I am one, but I've been around fairies my whole life. Until recently, you and my aunties were the only beings I have spoken too."

"Give the humans a chance. Thanks to you I see the potential they have," Maleficent said with a smile. "You aren't going to be crown queen of the kingdom for another few weeks, so stop worrying so much."

Aurora lay her head on Maleficent's lap causing Maleficent to tense up and her her heart to pound with excitement at her touch. Aurora breathed in her beautiful scent that made her heart feel at ease. "May I stay here again tonight, godmother? I can't sleep in that dark castle."

Maleficent stroked the long blonde hair. "You know you can stay here as long as you need."
