Aurora laid in her room refusing to speak to her parents or anyone She looked at the setting sun, her sixteenth birthday almost over and here she was crying in her room unknown to her she was supposed to be cursed fast asleep in her bed. She wiped her tears away and grabbed a tan cloak from the maids closet before heading out of the castle through the maids quarters. She was going to see the one woman she probably should be terrified of and yet, she felt sadness for the woman knowing she must truly care about this Mal girl.

Meanwhile back at the forbidden fortress Maleficent sat by her daughters bed and sighed "how could this happen Diablo" she said softly as she brushed the purple locks out of the girls pale face

"My Own daughter has befallen the same curse I was supposed to put on an innocent princess..am I truly the monster everyone deems me to be?"

Diablo shook his head "No Mistress, you are not you are a mother and have come to realize that perhaps what you did all that time ago was the wrong thing to do" he said before turning his head to the doorway and smiling softly "Hello Aurora" he said as the cloaked girl walked into the room.

"How..did you know it was me?" Aurora asked as she lowered the hood of the cloak and saw Mal laying lifeless on the bed and Maleficent hovering over her like a scared mother would her sick baby.

"Maleficent.. have you tried true loves kiss?"

"True love doesn't exsist.. thats why I made it your failsafe" Maleficent sneered as she stood up and walked to the other side of the room waving her hand and dismissing Diablo who bowed his head and left.

"Oh But Maleficent, True love is as real as the love you have in your heart for Mal, for the love you feel in your heart for your friends and family.

"I have no family or friends!" Maleficent interrupted sharply, instinctively turning her head expecting the shout to wake Mal and frowning when it didn't. She sighed "You know nothing of my past My heart was broken by your father.. My life ruined by your mother My own Family killed by human hunters all because we looked different." Maleficent teared up something that was unlike her but she didn't care as she walked over to the open window and peered out at the village below and the castle that peered over all the small houses. "When I was young I was niave, I believed in the good of humans.. I believed that they would accept me and I thought your father loved me but when he stole my wings…all of that vanished and my heart became guarded and cold. Maleficent turned and looked at Aurora "So I cursed you, I wanted your family to feel the way I felt to feel the pain of losing a love but Mal showed up and ruined my plans and now.. seeing the two of you together I..I don't think I could bear it.

Aurora gave Maleficent a small smile and walked over, taking the fairies hand and led her over to Mal "Maleficent, not all humans are bad and not all humans are like my parents. While I'm shocked that I am a princess and that you tried to curse me all these years ago I still see the pain and hurt that you felt and I'm not mad. Look at Mal and tell me that you don't care for her, I bet you can't because deep down you do" she said firmly yet calmly not even flinching as she felt Maleficent's grip on her hand grow tighter "You will never know unless you try Godmother" she said softly.

Maleficent's eyes widened "What did you just call me?" she asked as she pulled her hand away but stayed where she was standing.

"I called you godmother, you may not be my mother but I would like to call you something, and so I shall call you my godmother if you would allow me"

Maleficent smiled slightly and nodded but said nothing as she turned back to Mal and sighed "I suppose I can try this true loves kiss" she stated as she walked over to Mal and gave her a quick kiss atop her forehead and frowned as it didn't work after a few minutes. Tears sprang to the fairies eyes as she backed away "I told you! I told you it wouldn't work" she shouted her emotions causing a storm to start to form.
