Maleficent's Daughter

Diaval smiled at his mate, Maleficent. "She's perfect," he whispered. "What will we name her?"

Maleficent frowned. "I'm not sure, we've already have Aurora," she replied. "We should probably tell her about her new sister, anyway."

Diaval grinned. A few days after the new child had been born, the child disappeared. Maleficent let out a wail of disappear. Diaval snarled.

Aurora, despite being in the castle, noticed the racket immediately. "Something in the Moors isn't right," she murmured. "I must investigate."

"I leave Phillip in charge," she added, racing into the Moors.


"Mother? Father?" Aurora found her adopted parents—she had adopted them, not the other way around—hunched over a small nest, weeping.

"No," Aurora staggered back in shock.

Maleficent turned. "Beastie, someone stole your sister," she whispered weakly.

"We'll find her," Aurora vowed.

Aurora turned to go back to the human realm. "Aurora, be careful," Diaval called.

"I will, I promise, Father," She called.

Diaval nodded and she galloped back to the castle.


"What is it, Love?" Phillip asked.

"Call a meeting of the Council, immediately," Aurora said to one of the servants.

Phillip followed anxiously. Aurora looked very upset. Something had happened in the Moors. "I'll kill the people who hurt your parents, Aurora," he growled out.

When he had initially asked Maleficent and Diaval about marrying Aurora, he had been scared to death, but they were his family now and someone had harmed them.


"At once, my Queen," the servant replied.

The Council was soon gathered. "Where is the Lady Maleficent?" One asked.

"She is unable to attend this meeting, nor is her representative," Aurora replied.

"Did someone attempt an invasion on the Western border of the Moors?" Another asked. "I have troops ready to reclaim that territory if necessary."

"No, worse," Aurora replied.

The council exchanged anxious glances. The Moors were their strongest allies and if something terrible had happened, which it did, then the balance of peace could be utterly destroyed.

"As you all know, Maleficent had been expecting a daughter," Aurora began.

"Has she had the child?" The sole female member of the council asked. Her husband had passed and her sons were both guilty of crimes so she now represented the lands around her home.

"Indeed," Aurora replied. "And we are here because MY SISTER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

The Council sprang to their feet, all yelling in rage. "A member of the Royal Family?" "Kidnapped?" "Why that's practically treason!" "We must find the child!" "And see that kidnappers are punished!"

Aurora stood up and ordered, "Silence. Everyone gather your troops and search this entire land. They can't have gotten too far. Now move out."
