Aurora woke with a start, as Malecifent hammered on the door, and pushed it open. "Aurora, the guests will be arriving in about two hours and you are required to make an appearance." Aurora smiled at her, "You really want me there?" Malecifent smirked, "No, but it's your palace and it would raise questions if you weren't there". Malecifent turned, "Now hurry up and get ready." Malecifent stormed out of the room, leaving Aurora alone in her room.

Aurora headed towards her closet and chose a black and gold sequined dress. Aurora couldn't stop thinking about Phillip, the love that Malecifent wouldn't let her be with. She had managed to spend the whole morning with him, without Malecifent finding out. Hopefully, she could sneak away from the party and see him again. She sat on the window ledge and stared outside of it.

...

Thirteen year old Aurora entered the room to find Malecifent wearing her mother's old tiara and cloak. Aurora stood in shock, as she watched Malecifent standing there. "What are you doing?" Malecifent turned towards her and said "Trying on my new crown." Aurora stormed towards her and attempted to grab the cloak and tiara from her, Malecifent threw a ray of light at her knocking her back. Aurora stood up and began to leave, "As long as I'm around, they will never be yours." she exclaimed, as she exited the room. Malecifent looked in the mirror and smiled "We'll see my dear."
