Aurora's P.O.V.

I miss Godmother so much already, she's been in that castle for about an hour now and still no news. What if she's in trouble, but it's not like I can do anything about it. Currently, I'm in the Moors sleeping. I'm pale, I'm weak, and lifeless. I never knew my life as a princess would take such a dark turn, I thought that when I finally found godmother, life would get better. But it only got worse, I cannot believe this is happening to me right now.

I slowly slid into the river and took a quick bath, I had to do something. I only had one day left to live and then I would die, just when I got out and wrapped a cloth around me, I heard some noise. My whole body tensed up as the voices grew near, my hand reached down next to my feet and grabbed a magic ball that godmother had left for me. But I shouldn't have been worried, because a beautiful woman appeared.

The moment we made eye contact, she gasped and I could see tears rush up to her eyes. She had beautiful long, blonde curls to her waist. Her bright blue eyes, a beautiful silk dress that ran all the way down to her feet. She looked like future me, expect more beautiful. "Aurora, sweetheart, is that you?" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, she knows me and just called me sweetheart, okay...?

"Um, do I know you?" I threw the magic ball onto myself and a purple dress immediately appeared on me, so I wasn't freezing anymore. "Baby you've grown so much." That's when it suddenly hit me, if she looked like me, and if she's calling me baby, then she's most likely my mother, but how? I thought my mother died? "I'm your mother, I never died sweetie." Then she just left, this doesn't make any sense at all!

"Then where were you for so many years? Do you know what you made me go through, a mother is supposed to be there for her baby, not to ditch her! It was Godmother that saved me." She reached her hand out and put it onto my shoulder, my knees immediately went weak. This is the first time my mother touched me, that I can recall. It felt so amazing, mainly because I've never had this kind of love before in my life. Godmother's love is different, I still love her more, though.

"You're so pale and thin, what happened to you?" I'm under her spell, I have a feeling something's fishy here. "Stop, answer my question first! Why did you leave me and Stefan? You allowed three inexperienced fairies to take care of your precious princess, where were you?" I screamed shoving her hand off of my shoulder. I seriously regret that move, because hurt washed over her face almost immediately.

"Because I wanted a boy okay! And you weren't one, happy? But I regretted my choice, so I spent the past 10 years searching for you, and this is what I get?" Oh, so now I'm the bad one? "Well for your information, I wouldn't just throw away my child to some random strangers just because the baby wasn't the gender you wanted! And you do deserve this because I will never call you mom. I love my godmother, and to prove myself, she's risking her life to save mine right now! Would you have ever done that, you left me and dad because you were selfish."

She looked furious, "You may be my mother, and you may be beautiful and the gorgeous queen everyone thought you were. But I'm not falling under that spell again, you and your husband have hurt my family, and you're going to pay for this one day!" Fresh blood came flying out of my mouth and onto her dress, my knees suddenly collapsed and I fell to the ground. "Ewww, you got blood all over my new silk dress! Do you know how long it took for me to make this, oh my goodness gross!"

That's what comes out of her mouth when her "daughter" is on the ground coughing up blood, you can totally tell that she's my mother. Now I had only a few more hours to live, I could feel it. "You're going to pay for this dress because you're going to make one for me Aurora. AHHH!" She took off screaming, suddenly, there was a hand on my waist, and I heard a familiar voice. "Aurora oh my goodness, here." It was Diaval, oh it's so good to finally see him again!

"Diaval, I only have a few more hours to live..." I said breathlessly, he leaned me up against a tree and handed me some flowers. "Sip on this, its nectar is going to give you more strength, and will make you last longer." I smiled and started drinking the nectar, it was juicy and tangy, delicious. "Where's Maleficent?" He asked in a worried tone, "She's in Stefan's castle getting me the antidote, but I'm really worried, it's been over an hour now."

"Okay, I'm um, sure she's fine. Just keep sipping on that until she gets back, it will prevent you from getting any weaker." I nodded my head and continued drinking, I could never get tired of this. Diaval soon started drifting off, and I could tell that he was very weak...

Maleficent's P.O.V.

So far so well, but Aurora isn't doing so well. She only has a few more hours to live at the most, once Prince Alex and I got into Stefan's room, my eyes immediately started searching for the antidote. There was no one in here, except for me. Alex got taken away to actually see Stefan, good luck for him then.

After walking for a while, I finally spotted the bottle. Tears flooded out of my eyes as I took a look a the bottle, my baby is going to be saved! I quickly grabbed the bottle and said, "Take me back to the Moors, where I can meet up with my baby Aurora."

Swirls of magic dust circled around me and I disappeared seconds later, this truly has been the happiest day since however long. The moment I appeared, Diaval immediately stood up and ran towards me. I was so shocked, I didn't expect him to be here!

"Diaval, what a nice surprise! Looks like you're taking care of Aurora quite well." I smiled as he embraced me, I looked over to see Aurora asleep, with a flower in her hand. I rushed over to her and gently shook her shoulder, her beautiful eyes fluttered open and she started crying. "It's okay Aurora, I have the antidote, everything's going to be alright, here."

She opened her mouth and I poured the liquid into the mouth, her skin immediately started to glow naturally again. "Godmother, you're okay!" I laughed slightly, "The better thing to say is, you're okay now Aurora. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't save you." She smiled and I helped her up.

"Godmother, I think my mother might be somewhere in the Moors. She just came a few minutes ago and I'm really scared, she tried to put me under her spell like she did with all the other people of the kingdom!" I raised an eyebrow and stood up, grabbing her arm as well.

"Sweetheart, why don't you go with Diaval to get some rest and I'll so a search around the Moors okay?" She shook her head in disproval, "You've worked too much godmother, and I want you to rest. I know you're tired, you can't hide that from me." I sighed and blew sleeping dust onto her, and within seconds, she was sleeping in the air.

"Sorry Aurora, some things just have to be done for the best." I waved my hand and she floated to her bed in the top of a tree, "You're going to be sleeping for a long time until you heal." I turned to face Diaval, I could tell that he was still afraid of me, and I honestly don't know why.

We've kissed and hugged before, I wouldn't mind if he were to do that right now. And in fact, I actually wished that he would, I could really use some comfort right now. "Is there anything you want me to do, Mistress?" I rolled my eyes, when can he stop doing that?

"You can call me Maleficent, we've been through this. You're a like a father to Aurora, we both want what's best for her. So, you can watch her while I go check for any intruders." He nodded and planted a kiss on my cheek, making me blush. And it's pretty hard to make me blush since I rarely talked or smiled.

I smiled like a school girl, suddenly, all my fears and stress was washed away. I giggled before turning around and walking further into the Moors, I just hoped that life would get better. I don't know how much more of this I can take before we all crash...
