A new born cried; but was quietened when the dragon hissed. The new born girl giggled a little grabbing the dragon claw, her mother. It was strange but when this little girl's mother conceive she was very much human, but cursed by the darkest of them all; the dark one. The dragon knew her time would be ending after the child was born, but she didn't care; she had the next in her blood line, the secret child.
"Mother loves you…. Maleficent" she whispered to her child before dying beside her child. Upon the beasts death, she returned to her human form. A long blonde fair looking maiden, laid naked beside her new born child.
"My child of mine.. You shall have the power of my curse and the power of your past family" The ghost of her mother said as she stayed with her infant daughter until a woman find the screaming child.. The brunette picked up the little Maleficent and held her close.
"Oh you need to be feed, I shall keep you close you have a home now darling" the kind woman said to the infant as she watched the fading away of the ghost.

The years passed as the baby became a child to a teenager. A fair beautiful blonde. She kept dreaming every now and then about the dragon being caring towards her at her birth, but she had no idea what it meant. Her childhood had been a well loving and kind one. Maleficent, best known to her adoptive parents as Rose lived happy, she was a popular child, and loved by many.
"Rose come on Rose" said Stefan. He was a boy from the village she had grown up with, handsome and sweet on the girl. He reached out for her hand, upon taking it he kissed it gently. "My fair Rose. How we have grown? Did you hear that the king and queen are coming tomorrow? to parade the princess? to find her a husband?" he asked.
"I had heard of such a thing" she said tilting her neck gently, feeling the magic and the dragon within her. She sighed "But you will not leave me will you Stefan?" she asked with a gently smile.. "After all you have promised yourself to me" she remarked remembering their close childhood.
"We where children Rose.. And we may have spent night together but I will not be yours if i can be the princesses." he said not looking at the girl. She felt the angry grow inside of her and being unable to control herself. Maleficent felt the power flow in her to her hands and thrusting them forwards the boy flew a few metres and landed on the rough forest ground.
"My name is Maleficent.. And how dare you jilt me." She said taking a deep breath and feeling what she hadn't since the time of her birth; the ghost of her mother. Maleficent closed her eyes listening to the ghost, and changed into; for the first time; her dragon and flew off towards the lake. Listening to the ghost, going straight to the castle.
The castle was dark and she walked in side, seeing all the dust from the 18 year she hadn't lived there. Maleficent walked around with a soft smile, gently brushing a finger against the walls, the magic left her and she walked seeing the dust slowly disappear. The fire lighting and the ghost became whole..
"My dear Maleficent, You grew to be a beautiful woman. I am so very proud of you." she said walking was sure this wasn't real that she could just touch her and her hand went threw the stomach of the woman "I am so sorry i left you my darling, but I had no choice. But i am here now to guide you in the use of your magic, and your dragon" She smiled kindly.
Maleficent looked at her and smiled. She finally felt at home, and she knew now she would finally be the person she was meant to be. The boy may have betrayed her. But deep down she knew what she was going to do, make the boy Stefan… suffer a fate worse than death. For her pleasure and that of her unborn child.
