This is a belated birthday gift to the lovely neaori,HAPPY BIRTHDAY!(And everyone jumps up and screams "surprise!" yahh) I hope you love it cause I love you. Okay enjoy everyone.
"Case on Amerson, man down and woman attacked with severe wounds." The dispatcher spoke, his urgent voice ringing through the radio of Maleficent and Diaval's patrol car. Maleficent turned to her partner, green eyes asking him the same question that spun through his brain trickling down to his heart, the beat increasing.
Without a hitch the car sirens rung a loud noise, spraying red through the large streets in the ink night.
Reaching the home an unknown apprehension began to spread through the woman's blood, cooling any fatigue she felt prior in the night. The home looked familiar, a structure that haunted her like the constant flashes of blood and bodies that covered her nights in long periods of restlessness. One light glowed from the upstairs of the mansion, other than that the entire premises was dark and unforgettable in its nature of stillness.
Sliding her hand to prevent her partner who prepared to barge into the building Maleficent turned to him, a long finger on her lips she silently instructed to the man to remain quite and still. "Let me go in first, I think someone is still in there." She whispered eying the opened front door and moving curtains. Diaval followed the direction her eyes moved and noticed the movement as well. Slowing his steps the man moved behind the brunette moving his gun from his pocket and to his side, both hands wrapped securely around the arm.
"You follow far behind, once in we split."
"But Maleficent..." He spoke in a whisper, his tone assisted by his disbelief in the woman's unreasonable directions. "Just do it." She barked back in a chilling voice that though low held all the venom she retained. Looking at her for a long moment in his search of understanding Diaval finally settled on not protesting, instead he followed behind without any idea of what his superior was planning.
Slipping through the door Maleficent skimmed the building, her sharp ears picking up the sound of soft thumps on wood, despite the darkness of the home she knew someone was downstairs. Pointing upstairs she directed Diaval to remain downstairs. "I'm going up. Stay down here, find out what that sound is." He nodded in understanding, closing the front door quietly as he watched his partner make delicate moves up the stairs, the silence indicating her practice and patience.
The ebony haired man cautiously moved through the large home in the direction of the sounds. With eyes searching through the dark he quickly hit something soft and then the sounds stopped. Dropping to the floor as quietly as he could he reached to his side pulling out a flash light, one acquired from his wife who insisted on him carrying it for safety through the night. Lucky for him she was a genius. Turning on the flashlight quickly he directed it to the object. The white light did not illuminate any object however, in front of the officer was a woman hunched over with something in her arms blonde hair appearing pulled with a face of tears and cracked lips.
"Au-Aurora?" He whispered moving the light from directly in her face. "Are you okay?" Frantic sapphires searched his face and uniform trying to draw conclusions and differentiate the man from those who broke into her home. "D-Diaval? You're a...p-police officer? " She asked her voice dry and hardly audible. Diaval simply nodded throwing at her a sweet smile to comfort her a bit. He could sense her fear not only from her appearance but the way she shook, hands still holding onto the telephone she used to call the police. "Come with me, we have to get out of here." He took her arm helping her off the floor, she willingly followed her arms still holding something tightly. Both ran out the home Diaval helping her into the car before locking the doors, not turning on any lights in the car.
"Are you okay? Can you talk?" He asked her in the smoothest voice her could conjure up in the environment and moment, his heart racing beyond any speed that could be tolerable. He was not only concerned about the woman but Maleficent who had moved to the second floor of the home. The blonde did not respond, instead she remained silent looking into her arms. Taking out the flashlight he had moved to his side Diaval directed the light to her arms. There it was, a baby, still breathing luckily but silent, eyes opened by the bright light and small hands holding onto the woman's long locks. Turning off the flashlight he called the dispatcher ordering an ambulance and back up. "You will be fine, I promise you Aurora." He spoke to the familiar face, letting his hand settle on her shaking shoulder..
"Did she come with you?" Aurora asked after a long time of silence, head bend as she looked at the small child making soft sounds of tiredness. He took in a gulp already knowing what the girl would respond with. "Yes."
She turned to him, eyes now filled with intense fear. "WHAT! Diaval you have to go get her, the men in there are dangerous you have to..."
"You know the men who broke in?"
She paused for a moment before nodding. "Who are they?"
"My fathers men. They came to kill Phillip and I." She spoke as if she should have known looking back at the child. "How many are in there?"
"I only saw two." His fear grew at her comment, he couldn't leave Aurora alone in the car a plus Maleficent told him to stay behind what is it that he could do.
"You have to go help her."
He did not reply that time, only listened to the radio that brought in the message of help on the way. "Diaval."
"I can't go in there." Aurora was set on knowing why but although she asked the officer did not reply, not wanting to hear the restrictions placed on him and the possibility of his fellow officer being in harms way.
Maleficent had already encountered the two men but it certainly wasn't on good terms. After a short reunion of low blows and cockiness, that was played by both sides, the shots were sent. She had been hit in the arms but that was a mere step back for the officer who was able to get one of the large men and the head, killing him on the spot. The other, Joe, was already aiming for heart by the time she turned to him but the officer wasn't set on dying just yet. She dodged the shot with a quick drop to the wooden floor covered in fresh blood and old, using her legs she tripped the man with a kick causing him to fall onto the floor. With the opportunity of his gun knocked from his hand Maleficent stood kicking the weapon far from the recovering man while going for a blow to his face, her move was countered and next thing she knew blood was dripping from her eye brow. The two moved into a violent fight with blows and kicks, Maleficent not minding the agonizing pain from her arm as the bastard continued hitting with all force and she did the same. By the time she had him down additional help had arrived, the fight breaking as officers rushed in quickly shooting the man in his arm and then chest.
"I had him down." She barked viewing the dead corpse she intended on interrogating. "Your safety was at risk." A fellow officer stated. The woman knew clearly the risk and his excuse was fucking aggravating to the frustrated woman.
"Get them covered, the victim who were they?" She asked taking off the blanket they had placed over her body and moving down the stairs, a young medic following behind her worried about her arms. "I do not know officer but..." "WHAT?" She turned once out the home, feeling the cool breeze and loud sounds cloud her train of thought. "You're arm."
Rolling her eyes and taking a breath in Maleficent continued walking, moving to the ambulance that she was sure the bodies would be in. A fellow officer followed behind her after instructing the medic to leave her alone for a moment. "One murder victim, one killed by you and the other by us, we presume they were the perpetrators."
"Names?" She asked the man next to her reaching the patrol car that Diaval sat in. "Phillip Rose and..." "You're alive." A voice interrupted. Before she could fully turn around the officer could feel her body pulled into a tight and painful embrace. Emeralds widen with surprise and then at the man she thought was hugging her but instead was across from him. Looking down in wonder of who it was her eyes were met by sapphires filled with water and relief. "Aurora?"
"Hi." She smiled releasing her hold and then looking at her clothes covered in red. "You're bleeding? Oh my you're bleeding. Maleficent."
"I'm fine." She stated her lie apparent to everyone around. "Officer Moore please follow us to the hospital."
Letting out a sigh she agreed moving into the vehicle that was followed by Diaval's car.
…...
Once the bullet was removed and wounds cleaned Maleficent was allowed to return home but only with an aide of some one else, a job Aurora willingly took after her wounds were checked and the babies. The child was placed in the hospital for a couple more days in order to check on more possible problems however.
In the back of Diaval's Chevrolet Impala stayed the two women, in desperate need of a conversation starter and sleep. Maleficent's arm was bandaged, her loose gray tee revealing the white strips despite her extra layer of a black leather jacket. Next to her was an almost knocked out blonde weaving between sleep and the bumps of the rode that reminded her she wanted to be awake. Viewing her sleep deprived lover Maleficent used her free hand to gently move the girl's head onto her shoulder. Taking in the warm invite Aurora adjusted her position arapping her arms around a small waist and closing her eyes. Diaval smiled at the action he saw through the mirror, Maleficent only rolled her eyes at his cheeky expression turning her attention to the moving world out the window.
Aurora woke in their bed, the scent of warm coffee filling her nose like the scent of the woman who was not next to her. "Maleficent?" she called lifting from the soft pillow as she rubbed tired eyes.
"mmmph?" I sweet hum responded, the woman moving back to the bed. A black lace bra and loose pajama pants were the only thing she wore while leaning over the petite girl and pressing her lips against soft blossoms. Aurora cupped her face with eager hands no longer shaking like they were the days prior. She pulled the brunette who pulled away back allowing their lips to move against one another, her hunger for the woman rippling through her figure with every move, every touch, every breath she felt Maleficent pass between the spaces of their lips.
"Beastie?" The officer called the nick name surprised by the blondes sudden burst of energy. "I can't kiss you?" Maleficent tilted her head slowly showing that she hadn't meant it like Aurora presumed. Allowing long fingers to move under her white blouse that belonged to Maleficent Aurora moved her fingers into thick locks of mahogany pulling the woman into a passionate kiss once again. "When I thought you wouldn't come out of that house I nearly..."
"Sssssh." Maleficent whispered sealing their lips once more while laying the girl onto her back, her slender form towering over. "What happened?" She broke the silence once their kiss had ended.
Letting out a soft sigh Aurora slid her hand over her lovers sharp cheek taking in as much as she could as she lifted her torso from the softness of the mattress, her lips meeting the warmth of Malefricent's cheek. "I'm sorry I could not lie anymore." Her words intimately moved to the ear her lips nearly touched. Moving her head Maleficent kissed Aurora, her downy lips meeting the side of Aurora eye, temple, cheeks, to the tip of her nose and ears where she whispered over and over "I love you."
"I told the truth and...and" choking up the truth that so bitterly remained on her tongue Aurora held onto the tall woman feeling the softness of her milky skin beneath her finger tips. "He tried to murder me."
Maleficent knew who 'He' was clearly, it was Stefan and the man was ruthless enough to attempt the murder of his own daughter and son in law. Looking into Aurora's eyes Maleficent delicately asked "what happened my love?"
Ignoring the pain sensors that rung from the increased hold of Aurora Maleficent patiently waited.
"I told him that I didn't love Phillip and that he knew that too. I...I thought that if we came clean and told him that Phillip had his own life and I my own he would understand. But when I explained it all he was silent and never spoke. After that he left I...I knew something was wrong but I never knew he would try to kill us."
Kissing the girls teary cheek she pushed further "and the child?" Aurora let out a soft but knowing sigh. "It is not mine Mel." The blonde smiled softly pulling her lover in even closer hold and letting their lips skim as she kissed the side of rose lips. "The child belongs to..." She gulped, the name ripping at her heart that kept replying the scene from days prior, the blood, the shots, the way that stupid idiot blocked the bullet for her and allowed her to hide. "Phillip and his girlfriend, I have never slept with him so that would be impossible." Aurora spoke all while looking into soft greens that took in everything with consideration.
"I'm not dead Mel, just a bit tired." She spoke, answering the weariness that poured from the officers eyes like the tears that streamed from her own. "If I could I would take your place, take away the bullshit, the torment." Sapphires smiled like the bud that blossomed within her heart that had grown frost from the fresh events. "I wouldn't want you to feel this kind of pain again, I would never allow it. It's good that this time it's me."
Maleficent moved in, words not forming quick enough to catch up with the swelling of her heart and numbing of her wound. Her lips pressed against a delicate neck sucking lightly at the sensitive skin.
"Do you plan to make me weak?" Maleficent asked reaching her lovers ears and nibbling on it gently. "Only in my arms." Aurora replied, delight in her voice. "Well I'm crumbling in this warm embrace, beloved, won't you slow it down." The girl could feel the soft shaking of her partner, tears falling onto her skin and over the slope of her neck.
"That would mean I'd have to move back and I would never want to look away from you, not even for a moment." She hugged Maleficent, letting the woman sit in her lap while she moved her head to relax on warm shoulders. "I have been the one to carry your pain with you...and love you." She moved her hand to run through long tresses. "Maleficent you have let me stumble and fall into your arms over and over again...Now it's my turn to carry not just myself but you too. And if I fall again" Her lips met the thick head of hair kissing it as her hold tightened. "I know you'll pick me up."
"And you do the same for me." She finally spoke drawing from Aurora's warmth to view her sincere face. "I don't know how I've existed without you."
The blonde smiled her joy spreading to the brunette who blushed at the girl's burst of joy. "I don't how you have either." Maleficent simply laughed in response, Aurora's sweet giggle mingling with her husky voice their room filling with the sympathy.
"I love you Maleficent." The brunette kissed the girl's eyes, Aurora giggling softly from the sensation that made her want to stay wrapped in the woman's hold forever. "I love you too, my dearest, my heart, my soul, my everything."
"Way to downgrade my confession of love." She whispered after a moment of silent kissing. Maleficent couldn't help but burst out laughing once again.
Aurora moved herself beneath the sheets pretending to be upset. The brunette only moved herself underneath the sheets as well, letting her legs tangle with Aurora's, her nose buried in blonde shampoo scented locks, arms wrapped around a small waist. "My honey, my love, my sugerplu..."
"Okay okay" Aurora turned in Maleficent hold, putting her hand over woman's mouth. The brunette smiled, kissing her palm and then her inner wrist. "You must by tired, sleep now."
The blonde moved her hand through the long tresses moving them behind a warm pale ear. "Thank you for loving me." She whispered snuggling closer as she drifted off. Once the blonde fell to sleep Maleficent placed a kiss onto her forehead. "Thank you for letting me love you."
