To say Maleficent was furious would be an understatement her eyes darting between the door and to the bed where Mal lay still and motionless. Her mind was spinning with what to do as she growled and cursed Leah under her breath calling her every nasty cruel word she could think, it was as if knowing Mal was her daughter was what finally caused her to break but she didn't show it at the moment all she could think about was revenge and destroying the woman who tried to destroy her. "That stupid ignorant Queen thinks she would get away with something like this and that there would be no consequences did she…" she chuckled evilly as she gazed into the dragons eye on her scepter and watched Leah Aurora and Stefan all sat around the table for a meal her eyes narrowing as she scoffed "such weakness…they may think they are safe now..but just wait" she snapped before looking up at the bed Mal was on, her eyes glancing at Diablo "Take care of her…make sure you contact me right away if her condition worsens" she stated firmly.
"I will Maleficent. But where are you going?" Diablo asked as he placed a cold compress on Mal's forehead and looked at the mistress of Evil Worriedly.
"I am going to pay The Woman who did this a little visit and I am not to be stopped" Maleficent stated firmly as she looked at Mal with a small flash of concern in her eyes. "Take care of her Diablo" she said softly not noticing her voice waiver slightly as she transported away in a cloud of green smoke leaving Diablo alone with Mal.
Meanwhile
At Aurora's Castle the family had just finished their meal for the evening and were just simply chatting though Stefan seemed relatively quiet through dinner. "Stefan? Whats the matter? You barely touched your food tonight" Queen Leah commented when she noticed he had barely touched his meal even though it had been his favorite.
Stefan looked at his family and sighed "I can't talk about it..but something happened while I was at that..creatures fortress"
"She's not a creature..Dad she's just angry" Aurora stated firmly as she rose from her seat, standing up for the mistress of Evil. Suddenly the room got dark and illuminated in a eerie green glow that scared her.
"Oh..Angry doesn't even sum up how I am feeling Princess Aurora" the voice stated though she was not seen just yet, a crack of lightning and a roll of thunder shook the walls outside as a loud manical laugh echoed throughout the castle.
"Maleficent! Show yourself, your not allowed in this castle and you know it" Stefan snapped as he stood up with his hands on the table "Get out now while I still give you the chance to live"
Maleficent cackled and showed up behind Leah, holding a dagger to her throat and smirked at the King "Oh but King Stefan..it is not my life worth worrying about, what do you think the kingdom will think when they discover the king went mad and killed his wife and daughter?" she sneered enjoying the look of sheer horror on both Stefan and Aurora's faces, chuckling when they backed away slightly.
"Let her go Maleficent I mean it" King Stefan snapped as he looked at his wife worriedly.
"Oh no Stefan..I don't think so" Maleficent sneered as she cut into Leah's neck ever so slightly enough to allow a tiny bit of blood to seep through. "You and the princess are going to enjoy the great outdoors" she laughed before waving her staff and smacking it onto the ground, a loud rumble echoed throughout the castle causing Aurora and Stefan to look around worriedly.
Aurora gasped and whimpered slightly before screaming in fear when suddenly a loud crash of a window was heard and thick roping vines came rushing in, wrapping the princess and the king up tightly. The vines tugging and pulling on Aurora as some of the thorns tore at her dress "Let go! Please Maleficent" she pleaded with wide teary eyes.
Maleficent looked at Aurora with narrowed eyes and scoffed before releasing the princess but transporting her upstairs into her bedroom and locking the door. She smirked before throwing Leah to the ground and hitting her with a painful magic blast "So..Stefan did you tell your dear wife about our news?" she sneered as she blasted Leah repeatedly laughing at her pained cries.
Stefan glared as he tried to get free of the vines that had hold of his wrists and ankles and stomach "No I didn't and I'm not going to and neither are you!" he snapped angrily "Now let us go and stop hurting my wife"
"Oh..are you afraid I'm going to hurt her? Well..then perhaps you shouldn't be here while I do hurt her, because after what she did I am going to kill her" she snapped angrily as she wrapped a vine around Leah's neck tightly
Leah gasped and gagged for air as the vine was wrapped around her neck "W..what are you talking about" she said sharply as her hands tried to pry the vine off of her.
"Well Stefan and I have a daughter which means Aurora there has a half sister now isn't that great" Maleficent sneered and chuckled before blasting Leah with another painful magic blast which sent Leah flying into a china cabinet.
"Y..you what? How..is that even possible…" Leah said as she struggled the breath before crying out as she was blasted into a china cabinet.
Stefan lowered his head "I don't know how its possible…" he stated before lowering his hand 'I wasn't planning on doing that until a few years later' he thought to himself.
Maleficent glared at Stefan before narrowing her eyes at Leah "Whatever the case that girl is our child whether I wish to believe it or not" she muttered as she levitated Leah "And you cursed her to death all for what? I wasn't planning to even attend the christening when I received the invitation but you just had to go and make things worse by cursing first" she snapped as she tightened the hold she had on the Queen seeing the life being squeezed out of her.
Aurora had emerged from the bedroom after picking the lock and ran downstairs just in time to hear what Maleficent had said, her eyes widening "You.. cursed her child mom? I..I have a half sister…what ..is going on here" she snapped with tears in her eyes. Even though she was angry with her mother at this moment she surely couldn't let Maleficent kill her so without thinking she walked over to the fairy and hugged her tightly "please stop…I'm sorry for what my mother has done" she said softly.
Leah continued to pale as she closed her eyes, writhing in pain with every squeeze and tightening of her, tears forming in her eyes as she heard her daughter.
Maleficent growled at Leah and tightened her grip once more before gasping when Aurora hugged her, not used to being hugged she tensed up slightly, before sighing and releasing Leah letting her drop to the floor. Clearing her throat she gently moved Aurora away from her and backed up "If you'll excuse me…I have a child in need of my help" she stated sharply before transporting away in a cloud of green smoke.
When the dark fairy vanished Aurora rushed over to her mother and knelt down, glancing at her father before looking back at her mother "How..how could you do something so cruel mother.. you cursed a child who hadn't even been born yet. That child was not even thought of and you took her life away from her how dare you! You have no right" she snapped seeing the emotionless face on her mother she scoffed "You are unbelievable" she stated firmly before running off to her bedroom in tears.
