Maleficent walked slowly towards Katharine's house, with Diablo at her side. She was in deep in thought, thinking about how she was going to get Aurora. Since her staff was broken and that the fairies knew who and where she was, it was going to be hard getting close to Aurora and Prince Phillip.

Maleficent sighed heavily. She didn't even know where they were exactly. Although, she believes that they are somewhere in the castle, since the fairies are here.

But how will I get into the castle in the first place? Maleficent asked herself.

Every time she would think of a plan, something would always counter it. As Maleficent continued to plot and think of new strategies, she heard someone shout, "I found her, I found her!"

Maleficent turned around to see William running towards her, with Calibor, Aalina, and Katharine's siblings running behind him. William jumped onto Maleficent and gave her a giant hug as Diablo retreated into the forest, hoping not have been seen. Maleficent flinched a little, not quite sure how to react. But then Aalina pushed William out of the way and hugged Maleficent close to her.

"Katharine, where have you've been?" Aalina asked furiously as her voice cracked with emotion, "You left us with any kind of note or warning!"

Maleficent groaned a little, unable to reply. "Aalina, you're going to suffocate her," Calibor said, "Give her some room."

Aalina let Maleficent go, but kept her hands on her shoulders and stared at her intensely. "Now, Katharine, tell me where you where," she asked again.

Maleficent, still a little overwhelmed by all of the attention, just stared at her and stuttered, "I…well… I…uh…"

"Katharine!" Aalina cried, "I want answers, now!" Maleficent, now back to her senses, glared at her and shook out of Aalina's grip.

"I'm fine," she said coldly, "I was just in the forest, that's all."

"Do not give me that tone young lady!" Aalina yelled.

"Well, stop yelling at me," Maleficent replied calmly.

"Katharine-"

"You know, Aalina," Calibor interrupted, "Maybe Katharine will tell you if you let her rest for awhile." Aalina turned her dark blue gaze at Calibor, giving him a dark look. But she then let out a sigh and turned back to Maleficent.

"We'll talk later," she said coldly and then walked away.

Emily, Joshua, and William fallowed her while Cailbor walked beside Maleficent. "You had us all quite worried, Katharine," Cailbor said, "When you just ran out of the house, you practically made your mother have a heart attack."

"I'm sorry," Maleficent replied trying to sound innocent, "I didn't mean to worry anyone…"

"It's alright," Calibor said, "As long as you're safe, that's all that matters."

Maleficent and Calibor then walked in silence. As they did, Maleficent remembered what Calibor did when she went to see Diablo this morning. She thought about the way Calibor had thought she was Aalina, and how he reacted. It seemed like he and Aalina where once more then friends.

Maleficent went through Katharine's memories. There was no physical evidence of Aalina and Calibor, but there was some tension between the two, mainly between him, Katharine, Joshua, and Emily. There was one memory, where Katharine was about four year old girl who was playing with some dolls on her front porch.

As Katharine sat there, Calibor stood behind her, giving her a dark look. Katharine finally noticed he was there and looked up at him. She smiled at him, oblivious to his cold glare and asked innocently, "Is there something wrong, Calibor?"

Calibor shook his head and gave her a fake warm smile. "No, nothing, Katharine," he said cheerfully, yet his brown eyes were filled with sadness. Katharine smiled again and continued to play with her dolls.

Maleficent, now pulled back into the present, smiled a little to herself. Maybe I can find something useful…

"Hey, Calibor," Maleficent finally said, "Can I ask you something?" "Of course you can, Katharine," Calibor answered, "What's the question?"

"Do you have a, well…a history with my mom?" Calibor stopped in his tracks and stared at her like he just seen a ghost.

"W-what do you mean 'history?'" he asked nervously.

"Well," Maleficent explained, "You seem to look at my mom, differently. Like your longing look every time you see her. You…also give me and my siblings' cold looks, as if you have a hatred for us."

And this was all true. Maleficent now noticed that every time Calibor looked at Aalina, he had sad, longing look to his eyes and every time he looked at Joshua, Emily, or Maleficent, he had a little hatred looked towards them under that happiness.

"So my question is," Maleficent said, "Do you have feelings towards my mother?"

Calibor stared at the ground for a moment. He finally let out a sigh and finally said, "I knew you would notice someday, even though how hard I tried to hide it."

He turned to Maleficent.

"Yes, I confess that I have feelings for your mother. I loved her for as long as I can remember. When we were kids, your mother, father, and I always hung out all the time. We were very close and we were always together. We never got into fights or arguments, and we always had each other's back."

Calibor's eyes then darken.

"But as we got older, both Glareon and I started to develop feelings for Aalina. Of course Aalina didn't notice, but we did. Glareon and I gave each other dark looks and tried to compete for Aalina's heart. We fought silently, emotionally, and then eventually physically. We onetime beat each other up so badly that Aalina even noticed the tension between us. She finally asked us what was wrong and why where we fight each other.

"We then, reluctantly, confessed our feelings for her and how we were fighting for her affection. She was shocked and said that she will figure something out since she couldn't bare us fighting anymore. We stayed away from each other after that incident, until Aalina came up with the idea of to go on a few dates with both me and Glareon to see if she had any feelings for either of us. And well, we did that. And while we dated, both me and Glareon tried our hardest and did everything we could do to win her. And after a year of dating, Aalina finally felt something.

"She said she had feelings for one of us. She knew from the moment of his first kiss that he was the one. And that person was…Glareon…" Calibor started to chock up as tears rained down his eyes.

"When I heard her say that, my heart crushed. I never felt so much sadness, anger, and loneliness in all of my life. After that night, Aalina and Glareon where super happy and did so much together. Without me. I watched them from a far as I knew I could not win. I became monstrous, depressed, and cold hearted as the years went on. As I went further and further away from them, they became closer and closer.

"And… then one Christmas, Aalina wanted both Glareon and me to come and celebrate with her. It was the first time in three years that all three of us came together. I came and it was alright for awhile. But then… Glareon asked if he could talk to Aalina in private. They went into another room, thinking I was out of earshot. But I wasn't. I was outside the door, listing to every word they said. I heard Glareon propose and Aalina's shout for joy…

"And then I finally snapped. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't see the woman I loved with another man, especially with my best friend, any longer. I ran out of the house, slamming the door behind me and ran into the woods. I stayed there for awhile, thinking about ending my life as it was nothing left but emptiness. I sat there for an hour, waiting for the winter air to claim my life. But then, Aalina showed up. I don't remember what happen next, but the last thing I can remember was being back at her house, crying.

"I must have confessed to her how I was feeling because the next thing she told me was that I will be alright. That I will heal over time and find someone else. Out of desperation, I took her advice and traveled all over England to heal. I never did truly heal, but I did find someone else. I found Elizabeth, my wonderful wife. We were happy together, and we eventually got married and had a son. But no matter what, Aalina still had my heart and I could never be free, no matter how hard I tried to move on. And then, Elizabeth died of the flu, as you remember those two years ago."

Maleficent went through Katharine's memories to see a beautiful lady in a golden gown with long curly blonde hair, and very pale skin. She was laying on a bed with Calibor crying over her with Aalina and Glareon comforting him.

"And then a year later," Calibor continued, "Your father died of the same thing. And even though I was still sad that my friend died, I felt a little happy. I thought, maybe I could finally have my chance with Aalina since both of our lovers where dead."

Calibor looked away from Maleficent as he concluded, "The reason I came to see your mother was because, I wanted to see if I can…have my chance with her. I know it is selfish, but I have to try." Calibor sighed again and walked away never looking back at Maleficent.

Maleficent stood where she was. She felt, surprising felt a little sympathy for him. He had suffered so much and yet was still sane, which she respected. And yet, Maleficent was a little happy. If she could use Calibor's obsession to her advantage, and with his ability to enter the castle, she could enter the castle without worrying about security or the fairies.

Maleficent smiled wickedly as things where starting to look brighter after all.

"Sister, guess what, guess what?" Maleficent heard Emily ask as she saw her running towards her.

"What, Emily?" Maleficent asked.

"Mother just told me and Joshua about Princess Aurora's twin daughters!"

Maleficent's eyes grew wide. "Princess…Aurora's…daughters?" she asked in shock.

Emily nodded. "Yeah, mother told us that their names where Iris and Clarisse and that they were very healthy, even though they were born six months early. Isn't it wonderful news, Katherine?"

Maleficent looked over her shoulder and stared at King Stefan's castle. Aurora and Phillip's daughters…

The perfect targets.

"Yes, Emily," Maleficent said happily, "It is wonderful news indeed."
