In the distance, the sun shone. But not around the palace; no, the spell had been thorough, plunging Stephan's castle into eternal darkness, even going as far as to wrap poisonous black thorns around the place.
Maleficent stood at the window to Aurora's tower, observing her fine work. A soft, though malicious smile had fallen upon her lips. To most, the new darkness seemed evil and foreboding; ugly, in a sense. However, to Maleficent...it was beautiful.
"My dear princess," she sighed contentedly. "Look at how fashionable your lands have become."
The princess on the bed behind her didn't stir, which wasn't necessarily surprising. Maleificent chuckled lightly, turning from the window to look at the girl.
"Oh. That's right. You are sleeping," Maleficent laughed once more, slowly walking towards the bed. She set down on the edge, watching the slight stirring the small movement made in the girl's perfect hair and immaculate dress. Maleficent mindlessly ran her fingers through the girl's hair, marveling at it's softness.
"Such a shame your prince charming is not here to wake you," Maleficent sighed, her voice soft with sarcasm. Her hand left the hair, gently cupping the side of the girl's face, the smooth skin beneath her fingers like that of a newborn babe's. "Such...a shame..."
Maleficent's other hand came to rest on top of the girl's head, sending ripples through the amazing hair. The hand slowly slid in between the pillow and the girl's head, and further down yet to the top of the girl's back.
"Strange," Maleficent breathed, the thumb of the hand cupping the princess's face gently gliding over her rose-red lips. "I used to think only the world of darkness could be this beautiful...and yet..." Maleficent slowly drew closer to the girl, her eyes drawing shut. "You belong to the world of the light...Aurora..."
The hand on the side of Aurora's face was removed, instead going to hold the girl's head, as their lips met.
The kiss was hot and desperate, seeming to fill the entire room with the heat of it. Maleficent's lips were cautious, though demanding. Maleficent hadn't kissed anyone before, but there was something about this kiss that she could just tell was...different from the average kiss.
It was almost...electrifying.
Maleficent pulled back, gasping slightly. She had felt something. Something she shouldn't have felt, or rather, two things: Love...and Aurora's lips responding to the kiss.
Aurora's eyes opened slowly, shining with shock and confusion. Maleficent was frozen above her, unable to move, almost as though she was waiting for the reality of the situation to catch up with her.
Aurora gasped, pulling back in horror. A hand had fluttered up to her mouth, obscuring it from view. Maleficent, to be honest, felt equally as horrified.
"You!" Aurora whispered, her eyes wide. The girl speaking finally jolted Maleficent out of her stupor. She jerked back, making a mad dash for the window.
"Wait!" Aurora shouted, sitting up. Maleficent didn't head her plea, instead vanishing out the window, turning into a cloud of smoke as she disappeared.
Aurora's eyes were still wide, as she once again placed a hand over her lips, remembering the warmth that had been there but seconds ago.
"You..." she whispered, once again.
A/N I'm thinking this is a prequel to some fic...though I will most likely just leave this as a one-shot. I love these two!
