A/N: Okay, so second chapter's out. How do you like it? Am I doing okay? I just love them. I mean how can you not? They're so perfect together it's unbelievable. Or maybe that's just me.

Idk. Is it good? And I'll take prompts. PM me.

Maleficent screamed within her dream, shuddering and thrashing around in her sleep. Unbeknownst to the sleeping Rose, her restless slumber was filled with nightmares.

Stephen was there, and he handed her a flask of wine, but instead of drinking it, she slashed him in the throat- but he was now Briar Rose, with claw marks ripped open along her throat, scarlet blood gushing out, and Maleficent leapt forward, tried to stem the bleeding, but she was too late, and Rose's head soon lolled to one side, and went limp in the faery's arms.

Suddenly, the sky was a storm of fire and the men were firing arrow after arrow and catapults were rocketing projectiles, and her wings were taken away and she was chained and tortured and then she broke free and ran and ran and there was Rose but she was in turn sprinting away… but then she returned with the wings and Maleficent took to the skies, but Rose was slaughtered by the hordes of men…. 'Beastie,' she called, but with no answer. 'Beastie!' she screamed, "Beastie!" and then the dream shattered into wisps of black smoke and fire filled the sky once again and-"Godmother!"

"Godmother! Are you alright?" frantically asked Rose.

"Beastie…" Maleficent shivered and clutched the girl tightly, not quick to forget her terrifying nightmare. "Beastie," she repeated, this time with a fraction more confidence. "Oh, Beastie," she cried and squeezed Rose, drawing herself as close as possible, wrapping her wings even more fully around them. She allowed herself, for the second time in as many days, to weep. "Rose… I-I thought…. I thought I'd l-lost you…" Maleficent sobbed, and buried her horned head in her beastie's shoulder.

Rose relaxed in the faery's grip, but clenched her firmly in a hug, gently rocking her. She offered the only comfort she could, the warmth and closeness of her own body, cradling Maleficent's head against her chest, and gently pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "Shh… I'm here… It'll all be alright, Godmother, you'll be okay…" The girl then slowly unraveled one of the older woman's hands from behind her, and Rose gently entwined her fingers with Maleficent's. This action seemed to bring her comfort, so she squeezed the hand more tightly, pressing it against her chest.

Maleficent still had tears pouring from her eyes, but her body was racked with silent sobs now, and Rose could feel the vibrations through her body. She struggled to stand up, Rose, of course, fighting against it, but the faery managed to win this simple battle. She released Rose, but wound her fingers even tighter, on the one hand. Rose then broke this bond, only to step even closer to Maleficent, looking straight into her eyes. The woman's eyes had always captivated the young Queen; their golden depths lit up with embers of green, a fiery mix that swirled, glowing like miniature suns. Leaning closer without even realizing it, she stood up on her tiptoes, and attempted to match her eye level to the faery's. Maleficent, too, leaned in marginally, lowering her face, and Rose leaned up and in. Rose glanced to the other woman's eyes- they were swirling a darker gold than usual, and purple sparks appeared, flashing rapidly. They also seemed to be darkening, by the moment, as Rose leaned nearly close enough to kiss.

Almost simultaneously, Maleficent took time to peer into the Queen's eyes. Their normally iridescent shade of sky blue had dulled to an intense cobalt, and then the faery inhaled an audible breath, turning to face away from Rose.

"I… I'm so sorry, Godmother… I didn't mean to, I'm so, so sorry- it was an accident, I mean I-"

A pair of cold, soft lips cut off the rest of her sentence.
