A/N: Greetings

Okay, so this is my first attempt out of my comfort zone *holds up hands*

Tried to keep spelling/grammar mistakes to the minimal so don't shoot if they managed to get in there. Depending on reviews, etc will depend if I continue...not point to continue a fic that sucks! Hope this doesn't come off as any/all characters being ooc!

This is just a completely random idea, let's just hope you guys enjoy where I'm taking you! Thanks to youtube, I've fallen (back) in love with my old favourite Disney films, obsessed with Maleficent (sooo excited about the film that's coming out 2014). Reading fics on the board and fell head over heels with the whole Maleficent and Jafar pairing, the jury is still out on Hades though.

Not sure if there's anything else to add here? I own nothing...hopefully you guys will enjoy and review ;)

Chapter One: How the Mighty Have Fallen

She forced her body to follow her commands and reluctantly her heavy eyes opened only to be greeted by the blackness that surrounded her although the darkness had always been her greatest ally and source of strength but in this instance there was something that tainted the lone darkness. It failed to comfort her like before.

An alien feeling of pure exhaustion overwhelmed her, combined with the increasing state of confusion that threw her consciousness into chaos failed to ease her fractured mind. She was loathed to accept that she was somewhat anxious as to piece together the shattered pieces of the puzzle that would hold the key to explain her current predicament which still eluded her memory.

Her slender hands trembled as she felt the cold, unforgiving floor beneath her body and against the mental protesting of her weakened form, forced herself from the ground. An intense sensation caused her to reluctantly surrender to the pathetic pleas of her now delicate body.


Somewhere in the shadow, he lurked.

He observed her with keen interest as he witnessed her surrender and pooled on the cold stone floor. There was a wicked pull at the corners of his lips; facial muscles formed a once forgotten smile at the mere sight of her powerlessness.

Something deep within him began to stir and reawaken as his eyes remained on her form and satisfied with the knowledge that he commanded power and held superiority but his appetite demanded more, his hunger insatiable.

The air changed and she became aware of a presence, no longer alone in the darkness, her eyes eagerly in search of familiarity. Her heart, something that was rumoured to have never existed vibrated erratically within the confines of her heaving chest upon discovering a pair of eyes, watching from the ink blackness.

She frowned, knowing that those eyes were familiar to her.

"Jafar?" she whispered, summoning the energy from her dwindling reserves


Jafar leaned close, invading her personal space without touching her. His warm breath tickled her cool skin.

"I do wonder, what does on inside that exquisite and twisted mind of yours?"

Her silence spoke volume in itself. An unknown energy danced and twinkled within the feline like eyes while her blood red lips resisted a mysterious smile caused by his infectious ability.

"That is for me to know...and you to never find out" she stated, revealing nothing to him

Jafar gasped overly dramatically and allowed his fingers to snake gracefully around her arm "I sense a challenge."
