The Room fell silent for what seemed like an eternity, everything was still as Maleficent's breath hitched she lowered her head when nothing happened and sighed "I'm so sorry I failed you Mal" she whispered softly before kissing her cheek lightly without thinking, suddenly a gasp of air was heard and Mal's eyes fluttered open.
" …" Mal said in a sleepy voice as she yawned.
"Oh Mal! Thank god…" Maleficent exclaimed as she hugged the teen before pulling away and clearing her throat "I uh..I'm glad your alright" she said firmly.
Mal smirked and sat up taking the woman's hand "thank you.. for saving me" she said softly before looking at Aurora and smiling sadly "She's not a monster…"
"I know she's not, she's just someone in need of love and understanding" Aurora said gently before curtsying "I will be on my way now" she said before turning to leave.
Maleficent rushed to the princess taking her hand gently "Wait..theres something I need to tell you" she said softly before trying to find the right words "Tha..thank you…Beastie" she said softly.
Aurora was taken aback by this nickname "What did you just call me?"
"Oh uh.. You called me godmother…so I wanted to give you a nickname as well, you will forever be my Beastie if..thats okay with you of course" Maleficent stated.
Aurora smiled softly, her blue eyes shimmering happily as she hugged the fairy "Of course thats okay with me godmother" she said before smiling at Mal "You are one very lucky girl" she said softly before leaving the castle.
Mal sat in the bed and smiled as she watched the princess leave, "Yeah..I guess I am aren't I" she said softly before looking around and sighing She could have stayed here her whole life and just been with her mother but she missed her home in Auradon, she missed her friends and believe it or not.. She missed her mother her current mother not the storybook one.
Maleficent turned back to Mal and walked over to the teens bed. Sitting down the two sat in silence for a few minutes before Maleficent couldn't keep it back anymore, "Am I…a good mother in your time? Did I raise you well enough?" she asked softly.
Mal didn't quite know how to explain this so she did the best she could "you raised me to be ruthless, evil and bad… you also taught me not ot let my guard down easily and while I didn't agree with everything…like how true love was for the weak..you taught me to be brave and you didn't scold me when I did right" she said softly.
"You mean Wrong?" Maleficent asked curiously gaining a chuckle from Mal.
"No, I mean right.. you see Mom there's alot I can't tell you because it might change the future..but what I can say is don't always focus on the negative try and think of better ways of doing things.. you don't have to be so angry Mom..I know its hard because Stefan hurt you..but the pain will heal" Mal explained softly "Just..promise me you'll still be the best mom you can be..and remember…wrong may seem right but sometimes right is right too" she said softly.
Maleficent smiled softly and nodded gently "I understand thank you Mal" she said softly before sighing "My plan may have been ruined but perhaps its for the best..once the sun sets Aurora will be 16 and the curse will no longer work" she said softly.
"Then we need to fix that Mom..its apart of your story, you need to curse Aurora and…I'l going to help you" Mal said firmly.
