A bell rang as the door shut behind the young dragon, no one seemed to noticed her, not even the blonde hair woman with a child. Her eyes never left the two as the woman hugged the crying girl. If Lily didn't know any better, she would assume that the mother daughter duo were having a moment. But the girl wasn't the woman's daughter, she came out of Hell. Poor girl, she looked around seven, maybe eight years old, it was hard to tell. She looked very frail and petite for her age. She could still see her thin frame under her new blue dress, more likely Daegan had bought for her. Daegan pushed the child's dirty blonde hair and wipe the tears from her face. Taking a deep breath, Lily walked towards the booth where the two were sitting at.

"Daegan," Lily called out, getting both blondes' attentions.

"Lily," Daegan said in a calm voice, "It's been a while," Lily sat across from the two.

"Years," a waitress came up to the three and placed chicken fingers and fries in front of the child. A grilled chicken sandwich in front of Daegan and a plate in front of Lily.

"Cheeseburger with no pickles and extra fries," Lily picked up the bun to make sure there was no pickles. "You remembered?" She smiled and took a big bite into the hamburger. "That's like you to have a really good memory," she said with her mouth full and swallowed. "Are you sure we should talk with the kid here?"

"Where I go, she goes. Besides, she knows a lot about our kind. Why did you fake your death?"

"Not beating around the bush huh? Well there were some bad people I got caught up with and did some bad stuff. Way too much stuff and so I fake my death," Lily took another bite out of her burger, "Dae, J.R. told me everything."

"I know he told me."

"I'm sorry that I made you think that I was dead for two years."

"If you would had known that I was your twin, would you had told me that you were alive?"

"I don't know," Lily shrugged her shoulders, "I don't think so," she looked away.

"I would like to think you would have," Daegan snorted and shook her head. "I had always imagined me telling you the truth for a long time, but it seems like you know about everything. That were twins and were witches, honestly I don't know where to begin."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Daegan took a bite of her sandwich.

"Did you know that you were a witch when we first met?"

"Yeah," she swallowed her food and set down her sandwich, "I found out that I was a witch when I first moved to New York."

"Is that why you dropped out from Julliard? That was your personal reason?" Lily had tried to ask her this back in New York, but Daegan would never tell her.

"Yeah. J.R. and his mom were the ones that taught me a lot of what I know."

"And that's why it really hurt you when- "

"When that happened, yeah" Daegan interrupted Lily. Lily knew she was the reason for that forlorn look. If only she had trusted her, but who could blame Lily. Those who were closer to her eventually left her, Daegan was no exception, expect that Lily was the one who made her leave.

"Daegan I'm so sorry, I didn't know-"

"Lily I forgave you a long time ago," a smiled crossed Daegan's lips as she held Lily's hand to reassure her. Lily couldn't believe this girl, she was like their mother, so open and understanding. It was crazy the two haven met yet. "But you have to earn my trust again," she let go of Lily's hand and drank her water.

"Fair enough," Lily took a drink from her glass. She stopped and stared at Daegan's left wrist, she remembers that there wasn't a scar there before, did she get that when she was kidnaped. No, it looked old. "Can I ask where did you get that scar on your wrist?"

"It's nothing," Daegan tried to hide her wrist under the table, but Lily saw she was rubbing it with her other hand. She knew that this wasn't the right place or time to talk about it and when she is ready to talk about it she will.

"I found our mother," Lily broke the silence between them.

"Oh," Daegan looked away.

"Daegan- "

"I don't want to know her," she interrupted Lily. "She gave us up when we were born. She didn't want us, well me at least, why should I meet her now?"

"It wasn't like that," Lily tried to explain.

"Really? Lily I was found in the forest when I was born. If it wasn't for that stranger that found me in the woods, then I could had died. She didn't care about me so why should I care about her?" Lily knew if Maleficent had heard this it would break her heart.

"She didn't abandon us. Dae I was kidnapped when I was in my egg, and maybe you were too."

"It's still hard to wrap around my head that we're dragons. What do you mean you were taken? Isn't our mother a dragon?"

"Snow White and Prince Charming stole me as an egg to transfer their daughter's darkness into me."

"Excuse me what?" Daegan asked in confusion.

"Look, all those fairytales that we were told as kids, Dae they're real. Snow White, sleeping beauty, Captain Hook, it's all real," Lily could see that Daegan didn't believe her, or didn't want to believe her. She understood, it was a lot to take in at once. She remembered when the sorcerer told her the truth, it took Lily a long time to accept it. Lily just hoped that Daegan would believe her and soon.

"Lily it's one thing to say that our mother is alive and that we were taken at birth, but it's another thing to say that fairytales are real."

"I know it sounds crazy, I saw skeptic at first. But the more that I keep looking at it, the more it made sense. Look, do you remember this?" Lily pulled out her necklace from beneath her shirt and showed it to Daegan.

"Yeah, it's your necklace, you never took it off," Lily took off the necklace and handed it to Daegan to see.

"Well, it's a part of my egg," Daegan ran her fingers over the piece of the egg shell. Her brows came together, as if she was trying to understand everything. As if the egg shell was the nail in the coffin. "Please Dae you have to believe me."

"If it's true, then who is our mother?" Daegan handed the necklace back to Lily.

"Maleficent," Lily admitted.

"Of course she would be," Daegan threw her hands in defeat and hid her face in her hands. "I don't want to believe it," she pulled her hands from her face. "For years I believed that I was a witch, but now," she huffed, "I wouldn't believe it, but I saw you as a dragon, twice. You don't know how much easier it would be to keep believing that she didn't want me, to be angry."

"Trust me I know. And I'm still angry," it was true, Lily was still upset with the Charmings and her mother, but ever since she came to this town it's changed, she changed. Lily wanted to know her mother because when she was with Maleficent she wasn't alone anymore, she was home. Lily didn't want this feeling to end, but was scared that it would, so she would fight for it with everything that she had to keep it. "But I want to know her."

"D-D-Dae-gan," a soft voice interrupted the two. They two looked down at the forgotten little girl. "You, you, see her. I- I wish I h-had chance to kn-now m-m-my mama," she looked down at her half eaten food. "I-I wish I-I kn-knew mm-mine," she whispered, but was loud enough for the other two women to hear. It broke Lily's heart to know that this girl was like her, alone.

Daegan took a deep breath "Okay fine," she hugged the small girl. Daegan may have not seen it, but this little girl had Daegan wrapped around her fingers. "Kristen why don't you go to the restroom and we'll go," the little girl nodded her head and skooched over to the edge of the booth and went to the bathroom.

"Kristen?" Lily asked as she watched the little girl headed to the restroom. "I though her name was Ulf."

"Well you should thank Kristen Chenoweth," Daegan placed her napkin on her plate. "She was playing with my phone and I had some of her song on it and she liked it. She said she wanted to be like her so she wanted to be called Kristen."

"That sounds like you. You always like that Broadway stuff when we lived in New York. It suits her. She's a cute kid," Lily said as she took another bite of her burger.

"She is. What's wrong?" That was another thing Lily remembered about Daegan, she knew when something was wrong with her.

"Is she like us?"

"What do you mean? Like a witch, wait sorry, dragon?"

"No, orphan."

"It's normal for her kind," Daegan said sadly. She took a deep breath and explained to Lily. "I should explain, Kristen isn't a normal little girl, she's a Hell Hound, well Hound."

"What's the difference?" Lily didn't know what a Hell Hound was, but by the name she was glad that she didn't.

"Hound is a young Hell Hound that still have their humanity. When a Hound reaches a certain age, they are forced to work for those who are in charge of Hell against their will."

"You mean like the devil," for a moment Lily's mind wondered off to Emma and her friends, wondering if that was what they were facing down there in the Underworld. Or even if her mother had to face one, she hoped not.

"Sometimes. But it's not always like that. They treat these kids like soldiers, no wonder why they lose themselves during this change, after all the abuse they go through it would drive someone crazy," Lily felt bad for Kristen, no wonder why the kid didn't talk that much and seem to shy away from people. It must have taken a lot of courage to tell Daegan to see Maleficent. "But, there are those that I know who are still Hounds because they left Hell before they reach that age and were raised here. And they live happy, almost normal lives."

"And she's one of them. Wow poor kid and I thought I had it rough," Lily said, still couldn't believe what that kid has been through. No wonder she tried to run away, Lily would had done the same and did.

"Oh excuse me," Daegan called the waitress, "can we get these to go?" she pointed to Kristen's and Lily's plate. "And here," Daegan dug into her purse and gave the waitress a few bills, "this should cover us. Keep the change. Okay now it's my turn," Daegan turned her attention back to Lily, "who were those guys who kidnaped me?"

"Beats me," Lily shrugged her shoulders, "I thought they were after you."

"No, they said they were looking for you."

"Trust me on this one I don't know them."

"They knew you, they knew you have been here for weeks training with another dragon."

"So they were after me," Lily let out a sigh, "you just got in the way. Daegan I don't even know those guys."

"You sure, you're one hundred percent sure."

"Yes, I'm not lying to you. Maybe Maleficent knows who they are," she hoped that Maleficent knew who they were because Lily would defiantly remember if she pissed off a bunch of dragons.

"I hope so," the waitress came back with the empty containers for Lily and Kristen and handed one to Lily. "So," Daegan broke the silence, "how is she like? I mean, is there anything I should know about her?"

Lily could tell she was nervous. Who wouldn't be if they were told Maleficent was the mistress of all evil their entire life. "She's freakin open, it scared me that she wanted a future with me, it still does. She can be a scary dragon bitch, but she's a real person. She loves unconditionally."

"And that's what scares you? Hey Kris," Daegan said to Kristen as she finally returned from the restroom, "you ready to go?" she asked the child. Kristen nod her head, still shy of the two. "Lily I'm trusting you," she placed the rest of the girl's food in the container, "don't make me regret it," she said as she got up from the seat. Daegan turned back around and gave Lily a confused look. "Well, are we going?"

"You mean you want to meet her right now?" Lily was surprised. Not even ten minutes ago did she not want to meet their mother and now here she was telling her they need to go now.

"Well yeah. I'm only here for today, we will have to leave tomorrow morning."

"She going to want you to stay longer," Lily got up from her seat in the booth.

"Is that what she asked you to do?"

"Let me text her to give her a heads up," she grabbed her phone and started to text Maleficent that they were on their way.

"L-lily," she looked up from her phone "who l-look l-like m-mom?" Kristen asked.

"Daegan," Lily didn't have to think about it, Daegan was so much like their mother, more than she would ever know.
