Chapter 2
20 years later
Bonnie left the village with a basket. She was known as the local healer but no
one forgot she was Maleficient's daughter. She didn't know what was shocking
them the most. The wings or the horns. Probably the horns she thought. Some
days she felt like no matter how many efforts she could make they were just
waiting for her to show her true nature. At least what they thought it was. If the
villagers weren't fond of Mari and Jeremia they would have done something to
fix « the problem ». Bonnie knew that if she didn't love her parents and her
friend Nissa she would have left a long time ago. When the young woman
reached her destination she kneeled on the ground and started collecting herbs.
Malachai : They're getting away ! he asked his horse to go faster
Him and a few of his soldiers were chasing two thieves. They weren't human
beings and they were running towards the border. If they crossed Malachai
would have no more power over them. The creatures ran faster and entered the
Greeneries kingdom. The soldiers stopped but Malachai's horse kept running
and he passed the border. He looked around. Lots of trees. He should probably
come back to his kingdom. It wasn't his place. He was turning his horse when
the creatures attacked him. Malachai got thrown off his horse but he reacted
quickly and took out his sword. They started to fight.
Bonnie looked up as she heard noises. She left her basket and flew up. She
looked around and saw a fight. Two gnomes and...And a human being. What
was he even doing here ? She hesitated for a few seconds. It wasn't her business
and she just wanted to stay low. One of the gnomes growled and attacked the
human in his back.
Bonnie : Look out ! she flew towards the ground and knocked the gnome away
The creature hissed before realizing who she was. He looked at his buddy and
they ran away.
Malachai : Thank you he looked at her and froze
Her long wings made her look like an angel and her horns could appear weird
on anyone else but on her it was fair. She studied him too. He was tall and dark
haired. He had a beard and grey eyes. He was wearing fancy clothes. He
frowned as he remembered something. The drawing in the castle...
Malachai : Are you Maleficient ?
Bonnie : she panicked No ! she flew away
Malachai : Wait !
She was already gone.
She grabbed her full basket and ran back to the village. She hid in her store and
she could breathe again.
?: Disappointed costumer ?
She looked at the young woman. Her bestfriend Nissa. She was an elf. They
were friends since they were little. Nissa helped her when Bonnie got her horns
stuck in a tree after a game with the other kids. She wondered if they didn't trap
her on purpose because she wasn't like them. Anyway that event was the start of
their friendship.
Bonnie : No. I...I saw a human being.
Nissa : What ? Here ? Why did they even trespass ?
Bonnie : I don't know but he got attacked by trolls. He saw me.
Nissa : Let me guess, he panicked.
Bonnie : Worse. He called me Maleficient.
Nissa : That's not good. Let's hope he's going back to his kingdom.
With Malachai
He went back to his men and they rode to the castle. He left his horse to the
groom and walked inside. He was welcomed by his fiancée.
Harmony : she smiled How was your ride ?
Malachai : More surprising than I expected.
Harmony : she noticed a bruise on his jaw Oh let me help...
Malachai : I'm fine. I'll see you at dinner he smiled a little and went to the royal library
It took him a while to find the good book. Villains Through History. He flipped
through the pages until he found Maleficient. He looked at the picture and
realised it wasn't exactly like the creature he saw. They were familiar but the
creature...the woman he met wasn't Maleficient.
