Near the end of Birth by Sleep…
She saw the same two boys try and get into the castle and the same two guards kick them out. The guards, Aelus and Dilan, had kicked them out once more. Only once did she ever meet them outside of the castle's confines during an escape attempt. Their names were Lea and Isa, best friends who had come to see her once more but they did not understand why she could never come out. Of course she was the only one who knew the answer which was simple; Maleficent. Maleficent kept the girl locked away in the basement, caged like an animal.
"Zero!"" cried Maleficent. Unafraid, she walked up to Maleficent to hear what the wicked woman had to say.
"Not now," said Zero. Maleficent grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"I spared you! Remember that, girl!" hissed Maleficent. Zero hated Maleficent and wanted revenge and waited for the right opportunity…now. She pulled out a knife she got from the kitchen and stabbed Maleficent in the side yet the wound was neither deep enough nor harmful enough to kill Maleficent.
"What…?" said Zero, realizing her mistake. She would likely suffer a terrible consequence which would be death if Maleficent was feeling generous. Maleficent pulled out the knife and grabbed Zero by her throat and threw her to the ground.
"No, wait! I didn't mean it!" cried Zero. Maleficent summoned bizarre creatures with yellow eyes and cast firaga several times. Zero tried to resist, even pushing Maleficent, but one of the creatures clawed her shoulder and she screamed and fled.
"No!" said Zero as she left an obvious trail of blood and ran off into the Crystal Fissure before tripping. Beneath the setting sun she could see Maleficent, angered and surrounded by green fire. The black creatures were even backing away from her.
"STOP PLEASE!" Zero begged as she flinched but in her hands was a mysterious weapon which she used to shield herself from one of Maleficent's flames. Maleficent picked Zero up but Zero knocked her in the head with the wing part of her new weapon. Maleficent let go but not before casting firaga on Zero, leaving burns along her arm and one on her neck. A stray flam had hit her eye as well, blinding it as half the world went dark.
"I knew I should have killed you when I had the chance. I'll just leave you to your fate now," said Maleficent as she limped away. What a mistake it was to defy Maleficent. If only Isa and Axel were here now. The pale moon hung over Zero as she lie in a pool of her own blood as death drew close. Maleficent's creatures had begun to reappear, likely to finish the job. Zero closed her eyes, resigning herself to fate.
"Zero!" shouted a dark figure covered in a blackcoat beneath the moonlight.
"Please, help…" said Zero.
"I'm here, Zero. It's me," he said as he wielded a large claymore and killed every last creature in seconds.
"Zero, hang on," he said. He created a dark portal then pulled his hood down.
"Isa..." said Zero happily.
"Not Isa, Saix," he said, picking her up and carrying her into the dark portal. Isa, no, Saix was Zero's savior and she owed him her life from that day on...
