Maleficent hadn't noticed she fell asleep, nor for how long. She did know that Lily was home since she did not remember getting a blanket for herself nor did she believe Damien woke up and got it for her. Stiff from sleeping on the chair all night, Maleficent stretched before she got up and looked for her daughter. Knowing that her friend was going to be all right, she silently closed the door and searched for the younger dragon.

She didn't have search far, there was a note from Lily saying that she went to pick up breakfast at Granny's. A smile crept on her face, knowing that her daughter made it home safe last night. She placed the note back on the table and started to make some tea for her and Damien. Maleficent knew it had to be humans, but who was stupid enough to mess with her. As fast as a lighting, a name came to mind, but she knew they couldn't be that stupid, could they? Damien wasn't the only one to come into her life when she was a child. There was another, one who had wronged her and she in returned.

Flashback Enchanted Forest

It wasn't until a few months later when Maleficent and Damien were able to sneak out of the kingdom again. Although she gave Damien a new home, she was punished for leaving the kingdom without permission, but she didn't care. She was glad the she gave her new friend a home.

Standing near a tree, Damien started to count with his eyes closed. Maleficent started to run away from the dark haired boy. She looked up at a tree and tried to decide if she should climb the tree and hide. Shaking her head, she decide not to, so she kept looking. Fear coursed through her when she heard her friend had almost reached twenty. Looking around, she spotted a bush near her and hid in it. She was glad that this bush didn't have any thorns.

"Ready or not, here I come," she could hear Damien yell. Maleficent tried to slower her breathing so Damien wouldn't hear her.

"Ha! I found you Mal," he yelled. Maleficent gave a confused look, she was sure that she was extremely quiet and she didn't hear him at all. "Come on Mal come out AAAHHHH" Maleficent jumped out of the bush to see Damien and a girl both screaming. Maleficent ran to her friend as he ran away from the strange girl.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Maleficent stood her ground, trying to not show any fear in front of this human.

"He scared me," the blonde hair girl exclaimed. "You shouldn't scream at people, that's rude."

"What's rude is playing a game that you were not invited to play in," Damien spat back.

"I will not ask again, who are you human?" Maleficent was getting angry that this girl was not answering her question.

"My name is Briar Rose," the girl responded. "I just saw how you two were having fun and I wanted to have fun too."

"I'm sorry, but we can't play with you," Maleficent said in a matter of fact tone.

"But-but, why not? My mother and father are away at work and there is nothing to do here. I hate to be alone," Briar tried to justify her actions. The two could see that the girl was trying to hold back her tears.

"I'm sorry but that's not how things are done," she crossed his arms "Is it Damien?" she turned to her friend.

"I think we should let her play."

"What are you crazy? She just made you scream like a little girl," he shot her an ugly look. Maleficent pulled him aside away from the human.

"I'm just saying look at here she's all alone," he pointed back to the girl.

"Damien, she's not a puppy, we can't keep her!" She whispered loudly.

"I know she isn't a puppy," he whispered back, "but I mean what harm could it do if we played with her today?

"I don't know, our head. My mother would kill us if she knew we were consorting with a human."

"What she don't know won't hurt us," he ran off and yelled tag to the girl. Maleficent rolled her eyes and joined. She wasn't going to let Damien get in trouble by himself.

Maleficent shook her head, Damien always had a soft spot for a crying woman, even as a child. A mournful look crossed her face as she thought about Briar Rose, even after everything she went through because of Briar Rose, she did miss her. Not the woman she grew up to be, but the child that wanted to be her friend. Determine to never shed a tear on the past, Maleficent took a deep breath. There was no time for tears. Right now she had to worry about Damien. So many questions swirled her head as she anxiously waited for Damien to wake up. She wanted to know what happened ever since the last time she saw him and what happened now. Who did this to him? Who would she have to kill?

She wouldn't have to wait that long as she heard a moan coming from the bedroom. She grabbed the other cup of tea and headed to the room. Before she entered the room, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had to be strong, for the both of them. She lightly pushed open the door to see her friend staring out the window, confused on how he had gotten there.

"Damien," she said. He didn't move for what seemed like forever. Taking a big sigh, he turned his head.

"Mal," he finally said. Tears were threating to come out of both of their eyes, but Maleficent hid her better. She placed the two cups of tea on the nightstand before she fiercely hugged her old friend. A few tears leaked out of her eyes. Tears for the time missed, for the chances she couldn't get back, for not being able to protect the ones she loved.

"Mal, that's too tight, I'm still sore," Damien said in a raspy voice.

"I'm sorry," she quickly let him go. She handed him his cup of tea and wiped away the stray tears. He drank the drink greedily, she had to know. "Damien, what happened to you?" She finally asked.

"Maleficent, I'm so sorry," he handed her the cup and looked away in shame.

"Why are you sorry? I don't understand?" She placed a reinsuring hand that everything would be okay.

"I wasn't strong enough," he admitted.

"Damien I don't know what you're talking about," confusion was written all over the sorceress's face. Was it because he couldn't get her out of the caves all those years ago or that he didn't save Lily?

"It was my job to protect it. I'm so sorry Maleficent," He grew silent. Maleficent knew not to push him, but she had to know who she was talking about. Was it Lily or her other egg? "I lost the egg," Maleficent grew stiff. Damien had lost her egg, her child. A part of her want to scream and throw fire balls, another part wanted to cry. She had to ask him what happened. What was her child's fate?

"What happened?" her voice was low, she tried her best to control it. She knew Damien, everything that he did had a reason, there had to be a reason her child wasn't here.

"It happened all the sudden," he started to explain. "We were almost at the safe point, but before we got there, they started to hunt us. Dragon hunters. I hid the baby in a tree and try to distract the hunters. But I underestimated them and I was out numbered. They beat me and took me back to a dungeon where they would tortured me, saying that this was the price for knowing a dragon and where was the egg. I can guess they never found it, but I don't know the fate of the child. I'm so sorry my old friend, I failed you. I don't know how long I've been down there," he put his head in his hands in frustration. She placed a hand on his back, finally understanding the situation. Dragon hunters kidnapped him because he knew her, her child was out there alone. They didn't know which world or if it was alive. She prayed that it was. That by a miracle that the child was safe and happy, even if Maleficent was to never be in their life.

"Thirty years," she finally said. Damien looked up from his hands in a confused expression. "It's been thirty years."

"I know it was a bad idea to find you," he tried to get up, but Maleficent pushed him back down. "But I just escaped my captures. I didn't know what to do, I looked up in the sky and followed you. You hate me. You have every right."

"I don't hate you," she tried to give her best smile, even though it hurt. "Who did this to you?" She needed to know who was responsible for her child to grow up alone, without know about her or her family. Who dare to imprison and tortured her friend?

"King Arthur," he said. The king will pay for everything.
