Chapter 1: The Christening

The Kingdom rejoiced hearing the news of the births of the princesses. No one could believe their ears that the King and Queen have had two children! Having twins is a very rare happening, and if it did happen, one of the twins wouldn't make it. But this time, that didn't happen.

King Stefan and Queen Leila were graced with two beautiful daughters. The first daughter, who resembles more of her mother with blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and red rose lips, is named Aurora. The second daughter, who resembles her mother and sister as well, but has her father's brown hair and brown eyes, is named Serena.

The two babies lay in their own cradle next to each other and turned facing the people inside the castle. Everyone is smiling and adoring the babies, not knowing what else the King is planning.

The King turns to his wife with worry in his eyes, "They want to bestow a gift onto our children."

The Queen sets her hand on top of his, "They are pixies; they aren't like the other one. It will be fine."

The King sighs, staring to his daughters protectively. It wasn't long till the people and the King and Queen heard the fluttering of small wings and the tiniest of voices.

Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit are the three pixie's names.

"We came to bestow our gifts upon the princesses," Flittle smiles to the King and Queen.

The King stares at the three for some time, but realizing they won't do any harm, he bows his head, "You may bestow your gifts," he says with a kind smile.

The three pixies rush over to the babies, who are both just lying in their cradles, and staring up at them curiously making the pixies giggle.

"Princess Aurora and Princess Serena," Knotgrass, the red fairy, starts. "My gift to you shall be the gift of beauty and grace. Both of you shall have beauty and grace for the rest of your days," she finishes using her magic with pink flower petals that gently fall onto the both of them.

Flittle, the blue one, comes up next with little blue butterflies fluttering around her, "The two princesses, my gift shall be the gift of love. You will be loved by everyone who meets you, and no one will never be able to not love you. And you will live the happiest of lives that is bright and full of light." She finishes her enchantment as the small blue butterflies flutter over the two girls.

One butterfly lands on Aurora's nose making her sneeze. Serena just giggles and reaches for the butterflies.

The King and Queen smiled so big at these exchanges, they thought this was the sweetest thing.

"My turn," Thistlewit, the green fairy, begins smiling down at them. "My gift shall be—" she was interrupted by the palace doors being pushed open loudly and hitting the walls, making the sound bounce from wall to wall. Everyone silenced as some gasped.

The King and Queen slowly lose their smiles.

The clicking of sure steps echo on the stone floor by a woman with a pale face clothed in black, black horns on top of her head, and a walking stick in her left hand, who makes her way through the crowd.

She finally stops, but lets her staff hit the ground one more time. "Well well," she looks at the King with a smile tugged on her plump red lips.

She then grins with a chuckle before a raven caws and lands on the top of her staff.

"What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan," She walks up the steps to the majesties.

The pixies flutter into the front of both cribs in attempt to hide them from the dark fairies' view.

The Queen turns from the King to Maleficent in worry and fear.

"Royalty," Maleficent chirps petting her raven. "Nobility, the gentry and-" she laughs a cunning laugh as her raven caws once more.

"How quaint," she smiles to her pet before she slowly turns to the King, who looks at her with some worry, but mostly hatred.

"I must say I really felt quite distressed of not receiving an invitation," She says.

"You are not welcomed here," King Stefan says with venom laced in his voice.

Maleficent casts her eyes down pretending to be hurt, but soon laughs as she raises her head once more to look at the King.

"Oh dear! What an awkward situation.." She trails off, "I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight… Well, I best be on my way then."

"You are not offended your Excellency?" The Queen asks her.

She laughs mockingly, "Why no, your majesty," as she stares into the Queens eyes, making her cower away a bit.

The dark fairy blinks with a smile, "And to show that I bear no ill-will, I too, shall bestow a gift upon the children."

He stands up abruptly and stares her down, "You will not touch our daughters!"

"No I will not. I want to look at them just for a moment, if that is alright, King Stefan," Maleficent barks at him. But she doesn't wait for his reply, she walks up to the cribs.

"You will stay away from them!" Knotgrass gives Maleficent a dirty look.

"Yes! You will stay away!" Thistlewit agrees with Knotgrass. But Maleficent doesn't want to hear it, she waves her hand and a forceful wind pushes the pixies out the way and they fall into a box that closes on top of them.

It was only seconds that she was looking down on them before she went to stand back at her place upon the steps. When she stops, her green magic starts to fly around her. Some of the magic is green light, some is green fog, and some is like green lightning.

"Listen well, you all!" Maleficent starts. The pixies were able to push up the lid of the box to see what was happening.

"The princesses will indeed grow in grace and beauty-" she pauses because something catches her eye. A little glint of a spindle on a spinning wheel in the back gives her a new idea.

"But before the sun sets on their sixteenth birthday, they will prick their fingers on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and they will fall into a sleep like death!" Maleficent proclaims loud and clear with a hiss.

"No! Please no, Maleficent. I beg of you. I beg!" King Stefan pleads.

She laughs darkly, "You beg? Beg more."

King Stefan gets down on his knees and clasps his hands together desperately, "Please. Please!"

Maleficent's eyes glance towards the two newborns as her lips tug up into a smile, "Alright. There will be an antidote! The only way they can be woken from their slumber, is… true love's kiss!" She spits peering back at King Stefan, whose eyes widen in more hatred towards her.

She raises both of her hands for one last time to unleash the spell upon the two princesses, "And no power on earth can change it!"

As the green magic fades away, she calls for her raven "Diaval." He flies down towards her before she does something else. She once again pushes through the people in the crowd with a forceful wind, so they won't raise any weapons to her.

"Enjoy the rest of the celebration everyone!" Maleficent says lastly as the raven leads her out of the castle.

The door flies shut behind her once again, and the sound bounces off the stone walls. But this time, no one is silent; many are panicking as well as the Queen.

The King however, has the only look of anger, and guilt because he should've killed her in the past when he had the chance. And a new fire starts to burn in his eyes, and he sets his new goal in stone.
