Aurora gasped as the room began to flash with bright flashes of lightning and the crashing of thunder "Maleficent please calm down!" she exclaimed worriedly as she peered outside and noticed the trees blowing around and what looked like a twister getting ready to destroy the village. The sounds of screaming filling the air as she rushed to Maleficent and grabbed her hands.
"Get away from me you Beast!" Maleficent shouted "You told me if I loved it would work…I did and it didn't you were wrong and so this kingdom will fall and all who live in it will perish!" she shouted.
"Don't be the villain everyone thinks you are Godmother.. Don't be who my parents take you for you are not a monster! You may think you are but you are not, you have a daughter who needs you right now and only you can help her." Aurora stated before doing something she hadn't ever done before, she wrapped her arms around the emotional fairy hugging her tightly and soon the winds died down the screams stopped and Maleficent wrapped her arms slowly around the princess.
Maleficent felt herself calming down once Aurora hugged her, she felt all the anger she felt wash away in an instant and something fluttery in her heart. She pulled away after a few minutes and looked at the princess "Why didn't it work Aurora?"
"Did you put all your love into it, did you truly think about love and the love you have for Mal?" Aurora asked softly.
Maleficent's face felt flushed as she looked down and sighed "I don't know what love feels like anymore Aurora…how can I show my love if I don't know what I'm looking for?"
Aurora's smile faded slightly before thinking "Well.. to me love is a constant, its an emotion that you always feel. Its always there no matter what. Its the feeling of needing the put someone else before you, to protect them with all that you can. Its the feeling of knowing that as long as they are happy." she explained softly smiling as Maleficent seemed to be understanding. "Its knowing that no matter what you will always be there for them, that you want to protect them from everything bad in the world. That you never want to see them come to any harm. Its that warm feeling you get in your heart when they tell you they love you or they look at you in a way that yoy know your love for them is returned.. does that make sense?"
Maleficent smiled softly and glanced to Mal in the bed before looking at Aurora and nodding "I think…I'm starting to." she said softly as she pulled Aurora into a hug once again "Thank you" she said softly.
"For what?" Aurora asked gently as she returned the hug from the fairy.
"For teaching me to love again, I love Mal more than anything in the world, Diablo knew from the start and now I have to make things right" she said as she turned to her daughter and walked over, leaning down she smiled softly and brushed the purple hair from the girls eyes gently "I love you Mal.. with all my heart I want to see your dazzling green eyes, and hear that snarky attitude or the way you laugh when Diablo makes a cheesy joke. I never thought I'd miss those things please come back to me" she said softly before placing a gentle kiss ontop of Mal's forehead again.
