Stolen Darkness

Chapter 21

Disclaimer::: I do not own OUAT or its characters, just my imagination. Uh oh! Aurora face to face with Maleficent! What's gonna happen next? Let's find out…

Maleficent stood there, amusement in her eyes and dark smile. She chuckled at how Mulan was defending Aurora. Mulan's sword pointed straight at her. She gazed back at Aurora who was standing behind Mulan. "Now that's a nice improvement. Her sword seems to be bigger than your Prince Phillip's."

There was a hint of a smile on Mulan's face when she heard what Maleficent said. She still held the sword in case Maleficent decided to make a move. "What are you doing here?"

Maleficent stared at Mulan, a smile dancing wickedly on her face. "I live here. What are YOU doing here?" She tried to get Aurora to speak up. "Did you dump Phillip for HER sword?" She was in the mood to play with the girl.

"Phillip's dead." Mulan replied curtly.

"Ahh so guess he didn't have what it takes. Hmm has someone put a spell on your lady friend rendering her unable to speak?" Maleficent was disappointed. But she was not surprised. Aurora was always such a dainty little girl. "Welcome to Storybrooke. I'll be seeing you around." She disappeared in smoke.

Mulan looked at Aurora. "She doesn't seem so bad."

Aurora looked at her incredulously, not believing she said that. "She's a monster! You know what she did to me!" She scoffed. She put me under a sleeping spell! I told you that. And she turns into a dragon!" She waved her hands amicably.

"Well I didn't hear you saying that to her." Mulan sheathed her sword. "Maybe we better find Emma or Snow."

Aurora nodded, she was looking forward to seeing other familiar faces. "Emma can probably protect us here."

They headed downtown.

"Let's get something to eat first. We haven't eaten in a long time." Mulan pointed out. Soon they smelled food in the air and were led to Granny's. They moved inside.

Granny saw then enter. "Have a seat. The menu is on the table." She had a waitress serve them drinks and take their orders.

A few minutes later, Emma arrived with her wife. They were hungry, especially Emma. Belle and Zelena were with them too. Emma noticed Mulan and Aurora and looked at her wife. "Look who is in town." She smiled.

Aurora was relieved to see Emma. She waved them over. "Oh good! We were looking for you and…" Her eyes trailed down. "You're pregnant? Um… She then noticed who was with Emma. She didn't trust them, but she saw Belle and Phillip had told her about the woman who saved her.

Mulan smiled. "It's good to see you Belle." She then looked at Emma and smiled. "Congratulations."

Emma smiled, "Thank you. We couldn't be happier." She chuckled, holding Regina close.

Aurora was quiet as she took in the other details of their appearance and looked over at Mulan. She whispered, "I don't know… There's something wrong here."

Emma smiled amusedly. "I see you've noticed my new get up. Don't worry, I'm still me with a few other changes. This beautiful lady is my wife, the lovely Regina Swan-Mills, who others know as the evil queen. Just don't get on her bad side, and you will get along beautifully. This beautiful redhead is her sister, Zelena. She's like my new BFF." She winked as the sisters were trying hard not to laugh, but they started giggling.

Belle smiled. "It's really okay. Emma is the Dark One but she is nothing like the previous one. He was really really bad. Not in the same equation as Emma." It was the first time she admitted this about Rumple.

Aurora still was wary, but she needed to talk to Emma whether or not she was the Dark One. "We escaped from the Enchanted Kingdom. Something was chasing us here but I think we're safe now except for…"

The door opened and Maleficent strolled inside. "Except for her!" Aurora stepped behind Mulan, clearly frightened. "That's Maleficent, she's the one who put the sleeping spell on me…"

"Oh you're still upset about that, at least I know you aren't mute." Maleficent laughed. "Still hiding behind Mulan's sword?" She smiled evilly. She absolutely loved to torture Aurora.

Emma chuckled, "Hello Mother." Her eyes twinkled wickedly.

Aurora's jaw dropped and her eyes grew wide like saucers. "She's your mother?! I thought Snow was…"

Regina laughed softly. "It's a long story. But yes Maleficent is her mother. Emma also has a twin sister who is out on a date with Ruby. Snow White's never been her mother."

Emma had a sly grin on her face. "You'll have to forgive my mother. She can be such a tease. Just don't take it personally. She's been very angry for a long time. And for a very good reason."

Maleficent smiled. "You can put your sword down Mulan. Yes, I put a sleeping spell on Aurora, but at least I didn't kill her. That would have been too easy to do. I hated your parents." She said to Aurora. "Your father raped me. I had to make them pay. I wasn't about to let him get away with it." She was being very blunt with her.

Aurora's mouth hung open in shock as she heard what her father had done to her.

Maleficent wasn't done. "Your mother knew what your father did to me and she didn't care. That's why I did what I did. That's why I attacked your father. He deserved it."

Aurora shut her mouth, she was still shocked by Maleficent's revelation. It would take a while for her to come to terms with this. She had thought she knew everything but then she had to hear this.

Mulan watched Aurora and felt bad for her. She sheathed her sword and rubbed her back. "Come on, sit down."

Maleficent smirked as she moved to another table with the others.

Emma looked at them. "When you're ready. Come see me." She gave them her address.

Ruby and Lily found a spot deep in the woods next to a creek and prepared the place. Ruby looked at the darkening skies and then at Lily. "I can feel my wolf. She wants to come out." She had planned to have Lily chain her up, but the dragon refused.

"If I can be myself as dragon, you can do the same as wolf. Just remember to use your senses." Lily removed her clothes. "Memorize my scent. Let it become a part of you." She inhaled deeply as she held Ruby in her arms. "You smell so good." She murmured as her eyes began to glow. She then turned into a Dragon and lay there, waiting for the wolf to come out.

Soon, Ruby's eyes glowed a golden color and began to shift. She felt a nudge on her mind and opened her mind up to communicate. She could hear Lily encouraging her to not be afraid, to embrace herself. Suddenly, she was a beautiful wolf. She inhaled deeply, smelling Lily and realized her wolf did not want to attack Lily.

The dragon moved closer to Ruby and growled softly. *My mate. Mine!*

Ruby shivered deliciously as she felt waves of desire washing over her. It came from Lily. She eyed the dragon, loving that they were there together tonight.

Lily nudged Ruby, knocking her onto her back. Ruby nipped at Lily and growled with desire as they rolled together, wolf and dragon. They bit at each other as they changed back partially to their human forms and proceeded to make love, they were not completely human, half way through their change, they wanted to make love like this after claiming each other. They grunted and moaned, moving together thrusting and rocking together until they climaxed hard together. They lay panting on the forest ground in the aftermath. Lily's magic had bound them together.

Ruby felt sated and extremely happy as she basked in the afterglow.

Lily grinned, she was in awe and heads over heels in love with her wolf. "My dragon now recognizes you as my mate." She kissed her neck where she had been marked.

Ruby chuckled knowingly. "My wolf has also claimed you." She caressed her neck which had also been marked.

Mulan and Aurora had decided to take a room at the bed and breakfast. They would go see Emma in the morning. It had been a very strange night for them and they hoped morning would be better. They still had to tell Emma about what had been chasing them.
