Maleficent - Diaval Fanfic – I'm Alive by Raven Diablo

Chapter 9: Bed Monsters

Neither knew how long time passed, but they held themselves in an embrace for what seemed like minutes but in actuality were hours. The room suddenly got a bit darker and Diaval raised his head up and looked at the bureau and sure enough one of the candles burned itself out. Maleficent's head was resting on his shoulder, her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavy. She appeared to have gone to sleep. He gently held her head and slowly laid her down on the bed.

"Hummmmm", she let out a soft sigh.

He looked at her up and down. She was still half dressed in her blood stained outfit. The basins were still with water, the one with soap still on the bed. The sponge was laying by the foot of the bed.

"I didn't even finish bathing her." He thought to himself. "I don't even know why all of a sudden she wanted me to hold her. But, I couldn't say no. I didn't want to say no. I really wanted to hold her, especially with what she all told me."

He looked at her face, which looked so serene. "Oh, the poor woman...her wings brutally severed from her body." He reached over and ran his fingers over her cheek. She looked beautiful laying on the bed. His eyes ran down her neck and then he followed her lines down her shoulders.

Her collarbones were very pronounced but were thin and dainty. He followed their curvature across to the middle of her chest. He looked at her makeshift bustiere and followed how her body narrowed to her abdomen which was nice and flat. Two faint lines on either side seemed to frame out the center part of her abdomen. This part of her expanded and contracted as she continued to breath heavy in her sleep.

He reached over and put his hand on her stomach. It felt good under his hand as he could feel her breathing.

Her right arm then turned over exposing the inside of her forearm. Again Diaval took note of the veins on her arm and he picked the largest of them and slowly ran his finger down the length of the vein until it it disappeared beneath her skin. It felt good under his finger.

"Uhhhhmmmmm", she let out another sigh.

All of a sudden, he got that feeling again between his legs. It was a tingle at first, but as he continued to run his hands up and down his mistress' arm, the feeling grew. The more he looked at her nearly bare body the more the feeling intensified. He could feel himself unfold and start to become larger.

What the heck is that now? I know I have felt this before but not like this, not this intense! He looked down at himself as he watched the movement of his pants. He was definitely getting larger down there. The more he looked at his mistress' bare skin, the larger he seemed to get. When is it going to stop? It kept getting longer and thicker and pretty soon was at the furthest point it could go within his pants. It still kept going and the pressure was becoming uncomfortable. He had to unbutton his pants. It continued to get larger until it was even stretching his undergarment. It's not stopping! He even had to pull his underwear down. Then he got a good look as he was nearly 6 times larger than normal. Soon the growing slowed down, but then it began to get stiffer and harder.

He decided to reach down and touch it.

"Ahhhhhhh!" he softly exlaimed. It was nearly as hard as a tree branch.

He felt his mistress move next to him and she turned on her side with her back facing him. Laying on her side, he could see how narrow her midsection was and then this tapered slowly up to her shoulders. He slowly placed his hand on one of her shoulder blades. However, this made his condition even worse. He felt even more stiff. But after a short while later, he could feel the growing and stiffness stop and he breathed a sigh of relief that it did. However, the feeling of himself being so large was uncomfortable and it was sticking straight out from his body. He touched himself down there again. The tingling again intensified. "Whoa!" He thought.

Once again, he put his hand down but this time he squeezed with two fingers near the top.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" He exclaimed as a shooting feeling of pleasure just shot through his system.

He could hear Maleficent mumble, "Diaval...sleep? You Ok?" Her eyes were still closed. Then there was a slight snort and she resumed her heavy breathing.

He turned towards her and his eyes again started to run down the back of her neck, her long hair pooled in a pile below her left shoulder blade.

He wanted to touch her again noticing a nice little divot on the back of her neck. Once his finger contacted the spot, he could feel the tingling intensify.

"Sheesh! I wish this feeling would go away!" he said to himself.

"Hmmmmm", she sighed again but this time shaking her head a bit. Her horns almost clipped him in the head.

By now Diaval knew there was a connection between the way he was looking at Maleficent and what was going on between his legs. Wanting the feeling to subside, and quickly, he turned his back towards her. That seemed to help and after a time, it subsided and he could feel himself shrink back down.

"Whew! That was an awful experience."

Soon the other candle burned itself out and it was dark. It was also starting to get cool out. He pulled over a blanket that was on the foot of the bed and laid it over his mistress so she wouldn't catch a chill during the night. He cuddled up behind her and placed his head on her back again right between her shoulder blades. He put his arm around the narrow part of her back. He could feel her breathing and was following the rhythmic pattern. Soon he drifted off to sleep.

It was early morning when Maleficent woke up, the sky outside was just turning blue. "Wow! That was some evening", she thought to herself. "I just don't know what came over me and then Diaval ended up getting caught in the middle of it all. And then to top everything, I ended up so distraught that I practically begged him to hold me." She smirked at the thought of their long embrace the previous evening but then she shook the feeling off.

"Mal, Mal, Mal! You have to get a grip! You can't keep letting that bastard, Stefan get you down. This time you REALLY got out of hand. Diaval's your servant...you shouldn't be asking things like that of him. He sure probably thought you gone daft...tearing the place apart and punching holes through doors."

She pulled the covers back and sat up. She noticed that she was still half dressed in her blood stained dress.

"Oh! I slept like this? I am still a mess!", she said in a small voice. She turned to look in back of her and realized that Diaval was gone.

"Hmmmm, maybe he went out to get something to eat?", she asked a question. "I better finish cleaning myself up before he gets back."

Diaval was getting something to eat, but there wasn't much to be had in the east forest. Only some berries, grapes and apples. "It will not be much of a breakfast, but it will be something until we get back home." he said.

He soon came back to the cottage and noticed the bedroom door was closed. He thought he'd left it open when he went out. "Hmmmm. I'd better knock to be safe, she might be up now."

He knocked on the door.

"Diaval, is that you?" he heard her voice. It sounded much better than the day before.

"Yes, it is, my mistress. I brought us something to eat. It isn't much but it should be fine for now."

"Just give me a moment as I decided to finish cleaning myself up while you were out."

"Ok, my mistress"

He waited for a short while when she called out to him.

"Diaval? Why did you bring my riding dress of all things. I am feeling better, but I am not sure if I should go riding today. I am still a bit weak", she asked.

"I don't know", Diaval replied. He was about to say, 'because I like the way it looks on you' but he hesitated and quickly changed his mind. "I just saw it and grabbed that one." then he added, "I wasn't sure if you want to walk or ride back home."

"Ahhh, I see, smart birdy you are indeed." her voice sounded impressed with his reasoning. "Ok, you can come in" she said as she opened the door.

Diaval came into the room with the food he picked and placed it all on the bureau. And then he gazed up on his mistress. She was all nicely cleaned up and had a radiant look on her face. He then had a sudden urge to ask about yesterday.

"Mistress, when we embraced, did you fe..."

Maleficent interrupted, "Yes, about that Diaval."

The tone in her voice changed back to the stern voice he was familiar with. "I was very distraught yesterday and that was something that just came over me and I was wrong to ask that of you", she explained.

"But, my mistress, it was fine, I thought..."

"Now, Now, my pet, don't read into it. It was just something that happened. I was just an emotional mess yesterday, but I am alright now."

Diaval sighed and then thought to himself, "I thought the hug was rather nice, but she's acting like it was something that shouldn't have happened. Hmmm, I don't know. I guess she would never like me in that way. I should put shame on myself for thinking there was more to it than that. But it was nice even though it was for just the one time."

"Diaval, I want to you keep everything that went on here yesterday to yourself. There will be no discussion of this to the other faeries...or Aurora. You got that?" she ordered.

"Yes, my mistress", he replied in a low disappointed voice.

The two sat on the bed eating what Diaval brought and didn't speak much. After breakfast the two packed up and then slowly headed back home, to their home in the barrier as it was closer than the Rowan Tree.

Maleficent appeared to be still tired and drained as she walked slowly leaning on her staff. Diaval came close and offered to hold her hand, but she refused. After that, he kept a distance of at least at least three feet from her.

Later on that day when Maleficent wanted to go to sleep he wanted to go off to the watering hole and reflect on the day's past. He propped himself up on a tree near the water. He wasn't there for more than 5 minutes when all of a sudden he was greeted by that all familiar red glow. It was Robin.

"Hello Hello Hello, Sir Diaval!" he greeted him.

"Good Morning, Robin", Diaval greeted back.

Robin plopped down on a branch that was hanging low and near Diaval's face.

"So, what happened yesterday? How's Maleficent doing?" Robin asked.

"She is fine, just resting up." Diaval answered. "I decided to come here and decompress for a bit."

"Yeah, I hear you." Robin agreed. "I had a funny feeling you would be here so I stopped here first. So, what happened?"

"It was just a fit of rage, brought on by her dwelling on the past with what King Stefan did to her."

"Really? She finally told you, huh? I am amazed." Robin said in a shocked voice.

Diaval continued. "Well, I know she told me not to tell any of the faeries, but since you know anyway... She told me everything about her wings and how King Stefan brutally removed them from her body. She even let me touch the spot where her wings were."

Robin's eyes got very wide and his jaw dropped. "She let you touch that spot! No one has ever seen her back, let alone touch that spot. Wow! She must really love you!"

"No, nothing to do with love. She doesn't believe in that anyway. But I was surprised myself that she did let me touch her there. Anyway, her story was horrible. I was devastated. It was so much, that I became ill afterwards." Diaval explained.

"Wow!" Robin then said, "Let me tell you that is a load off my chest as in later years I found it hard to keep that story from you. But a promise was a promise. Now we both know, so I don't have to keep it from you anymore." he sounded more cheerful.

The two continued to talk about what Stefan did to Maleficent and also elaborated more on the fit of rage she had yesterday. But then Robin changed the subject.

"Well, it was a long night. Did you two do anything else?" Robin asked.

"No. I just helped her clean herself up as she was tired and weak." Diaval replied.

"Details on the 'help her clean herself' part."

"Robin! It isn't what you think. Her arms were caked with blood and she was feeling faint. I helped her clean them."

"She let you touch her arms too?!" Robin asked. "Oh, you were on a roll! That sounds like we are making progress."

"Robin, for the last time there isn't anything between us. It is just Master – Servant", Diaval said moving his hands from one side to the other. "She was feeling faint and asked me to help clean her arms."

Robin was skeptical. "You are hiding something, aren't you."

"I am not, but if I was, I am not at liberty to say." Diaval bent the truth a bit. "Maleficent didn't want me to talk about it. She wanted to scratch off the whole day as if it didn't happen."

"Still, I am amazed that you both had some close contact. Maleficent normally doesn't like anyone touching her." Robin said matter of factly.

"She has somewhat lightened up on that over the years. But today when I walked her back home, she preferred to lean on her staff than to take my hand."

"Yeah...that sure sounds like she's herself. I guess she will be OK." Robin said. "Well, I will be by later to check on the lass."

"Robin, there was one other thing." Diaval had a sound of uncertainty in his voice as if he really didn't want to ask his next question.

"Yeesss", Robin said with an inquisitive look his face.

"There was a point in the night where I woke up and saw Maleficent lying on the bed with her arms exposed", again he exaggerated a bit not wanting to tell Robin that Maleficent was actually lying on the bed with nearly the entire top portion of her body exposed.

"I started to feel a sensation here from where I normally go to the bathroom with when I am a man", he explained pointing between his legs."

"That would be your penis, Diaval, it's called a penis", Robin informed him.

"Oh, Ok. But would you know why it would all of a sudden start to get larger and stiffer?" Diaval asked.

All of a sudden Robin started to laugh so hard he nearly tipped off the branch. "HAHAHAHO. HEH HEH HEH."

Robin just kept laughing and Diaval stared at him blankly.

"Well? Do you know?" he asked impatiently.

When his laughing slowly subsided, Robin said, "Yes, I do." he stated with a grin on his face.

"Diaval, my good buddy, it appears you have the hots for Maleficent".

"The whats?"

"The hots." Robin Repeated, "It means you are attracted to her, that is why you puffed up down there."

He continued, "Oh this is good! I think you really like her."

"Well, I do enjoy her company, but that is about it. I can't get close to her or put my hands on her, as that is unacceptable. It's rule number three, she doesn't want to be touched. That is really that."

"Oh, you are rather fond of her! There is something you find attractive about Maleficent and that is what caused that", he said while pointing between Diavals legs.

"Well, whatever it is, the point is moot. Maleficent wouldn't let me come near her. So I don't know why it is happens, it just does."

"Hummph", Robin wasn't buying it.

"Robin, I know you are going to hate me for this, but I am going to ask of you to make a promise." Diaval asked.

Robin let out a sigh, but then answered, "Ok, Ok. Let me guess, you want to keep this dicussion between us and not tell anyone, especially Maleficent."

"Yes, definitely." Diaval said nervously.

"You drive a hard bargain, but you got it. Discussion forgotten." Robin said as he continued to smile.

"If that is all, I am off to get myself some breakfast. I haven't eaten yet! I ended up sleeping late this morning because I couldn't get to sleep thinking about you two."

"Good day, Diaval", Robin waved and then started to fly off.

"Good day, Robin. I'll tell Maleficent you will be by later."

Diaval continued to lean up against the tree and thought to himself. This is serious. I hope he keeps that promise and that it never gets back to Maleficent. He watched as a few water faeries were playing by the waterfall. He tried to clear his thoughts and do as Maleficent said to try to forget about the previous day. But the day was very intense, and he thought it would be something that would be difficult to forget no matter how he tried.

About a month passed and Diaval was in his normal form doing a perimeter check when he noticed some commotion going on the main road. On the road was a weird looking horse and covered wagon that had a red cross painted on the side. It was going to the castle. He followed the wagon to the castle and then looked into the windows and found the queen laying in bed. Apparently the wagon carried some sort of doctor. The doctor was explaining something to King Stefan and all he kept saying was "No No No, this can't be!" The doctor then explained something about an earlier miscarried baby and hemorage. There was another baby? These words didn't mean anything to Diaval, but he knew they would mean something to his mistress, so off he flew to her. He met her by the waterfall that night.

"She's dying, Diaval", she said. "So, there was another child a while back, huh? a failed birth." She said in cool voice. Then a smirk appeared on her face. She looked north in the direction of the castle and then yelled out. "Payback's a bitch, huh Stefan! Now you will be like me...all alone! Funny how things work out my way and I didn't lift a finger in this case. HA!"

Diaval took a couple steps back as it has been a while since Maleficent had an outburst like that. In a way he felt sad for the queen, but thinking back to that night when Maleficent told him about her wings. There was also a feeling of satisfaction and he couldn't blame his mistress from blurting out those mean words.

"What else, my friend."

Friend? Wow! She hadn't used that word in a while. I guess she was in a really good mood.

"Well, my mistress, it is getting more and more difficult to find windows and other openings around the castle. King Stefan is obssessed with holeing himself up in the castle surrounding it with iron. Lately the drawbridge is always up too. That is all." he explained.

"He's hiding. Coward! YOU COWARD! You always were a coward!" she yelled out again. Her voice echoed over the rocks. "You're afraid of me now! And you should be! You're next!" her voice slowly returned to normal volume. "Let's give him a little message, shall we, something that might make him think that we know about his wife." She said in a very evil sounding tone.

Before Diaval could comment on her remark, she slammed the end of her staff to the ground and a large thick green bolt of electricity shot into the sky. When it hit the clouds, it made a loud clap of thunder and electricity raced through the cloud. Then a green bolt of lightning shot from the cloud in the direction of the castle.

"Think Stefan will notice that, huh?" she asked.

Diaval looking on and just answered back, "Yes, I believe that will do the trick."

She then turned towards Diaval and said, "Diaval, once again you have done an outstanding job with your report from the castle." she smiled. "That is one thing you always were excellent at doing. You certainly have a great pair of wings."

Diaval always liked it when she smiled. She seemed to be doing it much more often now than when they first met. But as soon as she finished saying that last line, the smile quickly went away from her face and for a few seconds she appeared to be deep in thought. Then she shook it off.

"I have to come up with a good reward for you, but tonight we are going to see Aurora. She's been wanting to have a 'sleep over' for a while, and I figure it is time. I have to put the 3 faeries under a sleep spell so they don't awaken through the night."

"That does sound wonderful, I am sure we will have fun." Diaval said.

"Yes, we will." She said still having a small smile on her face. Before turning around Diaval caught his mistress' eye follow down his open shirt and she raised and eyebrow while turning around.

What was that look about, Diaval thought to himself. Well, whatever it was, she sure did look good doing it.

All three of them were in Malefcient's bedroom in the Rowan tree. She opened the roof and a large moon was high up in the sky and lit up the Moors below. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and Diaval sat by the edge of the bed closest to the window. Maleficent was in her night gown. She made a similar but slightly smaller gown for Aurora to wear. It was slightly more ornate than her own.

"Oh, Faerie Godmother, it's wonderful. Thank you for making it for me!". Aurora said. Then she jumped across the bed and gave Maleficent a huge hug.

"Oh! My word! Beastie, that isn't necessary, a thank you is fine enough." Maleficent somehow sounded a bit uncomfortable with Aurora hugging her.

Aurora didn't listen, she kept on hugging her. Then much to Diaval's amazement, Malefcient closed her eyes and rested her cheek on Aurora's head.

Through the night the three played games with Malefcient using her magic. There were guessing games, a hiding game, some game called 'I Spy'. Diaval was in awe as many of these games Robin mentioned he played with Malefcient when she was a child. Oh, only if Robin was here now. He would love this.

Then when the games were done, Aurora said, "Are you going to tell me now Faery Godmother, why don't you have wings."

Diaval's face grew pale and he almost slid off the end of the bed.

"Yes," she answered.

Diaval fell off the bed and the two ladies laughed.

"Sorry, my mistress, I slipped."

Maleficent then told the story of how her wings were stolen from her, of course she left out the part that it was Stefan, Aurora's father, of whom did the horrific act.

Soon it was getting late and Aurora was getting sleepy.

"Well, that was a fun night!" Diaval exlaimed. "I guess you two ladies will sleep here and I will go up to my nest."

"No!" Aurora shouted, "Faerie Godmother, please can Diaval sleep with us."

"No, I don't think that would be appropriate and besides, the bed will not fit three." Maleficent said.

"It's ok, Aurora, I am fine with going back up to my nest." Diaval said, "You stay with your Faerie Godmother in bed. This is your first time, I been here before."

Just then Diaval realized what he just said, and he looked up to see two shocked faces looking straight at him.

Aurora spoke first with a bright smile on her face, "Faerie Godmother...Oh, you and Diaval are sleeping together. That's sweet!"

"No, No, No, Beastie that came out wrong," Maleficent said while glaring at Diaval.

"Yes, she is correct, Aurora." Diaval recovered. "I was in this bed once when I was ill. It was only for one night. She was kind enough to let me sleep here."

"Oh." Aurora's enthusiasm was quickly squelched. But then her eye's narrowed and she looked straight into Maleficent's eyes. "So where did you sleep then Faerie Godmother?"

"Ok, Ok, I slept next to Diaval with my back to him. Nothing happened, there is nothing between us. He was not well and I took care of him."

"You SURE nothing happened?"

"NO!" Both Maleficent and Diaval blurted it out.

"I am sorry, Aurora, but I am best off going back to my nest."

"I got an idea!" Aurora exclaimed. "Get the small chair over there."

Diaval brought the chair over to Aurora's side of the bed which was near the window. Aurora took the chair and placed it in between the window and the bed.

"Ok, so sit on the chair and put your feet on the window sill. Then lean your body back on to the bed. I will sleep on that side and Faerie Godmother will be in the middle."

"Ok, Ok", Maleficent finally gave in. "Let's get this over with so we can get some sleep!"

Maleficent moved over near Diaval and laid flat on the bed, the side of her body was very close to Diaval's head. Aurora moved to the other side of the bed where there was now plenty of room for her to lay down. She tossed a blanket over to Diaval.

"Here you go, Diaval. Catch!" Aurora said.

Diaval turned to catch the blanket, but Aurora threw it too soon and it landed square on Diaval's face. Both Aurora and Maleficent laughed. He smirked a bit while putting the covers down over himself.

"Goodnight everyone!" shouted Aurora.

"Goodnight Aurora, Goodnight my mistress", Diaval said.

"Goodnight Diaval, Goodnight Beastie", Malficent said.

As they were settling in to sleep, Diaval noticed that his mistress' night gown was up to it's old tricks and when she moved over in the bed, it pulled under on that side and her left shoulder was nicely exposed. As she continued to settle in and moved her arms up and down to straighten the sheets, those two little lines on her shoulder would show up. He wanted to put his hand on her shoulder badly and then all of a sudden he could feel that tingling again between his legs.

"Oh no! Not again!" he thought to himself. He quickly looked away, not only to avoid being caught staring by Maleficent, but the last time he looked away from her, the sensation went away. Like the last time, it went away this time as well.

After the feeling subsided, he could feel a pull that wanted to make his eyes drift over to Maleficent's bare shoulder again.

"No! Diaval, fight it! You are just a servant, she made that clear earlier."

Diaval turned to face the foot of the bed, now with his head turned he couldn't so easily turn around now. But just as he was grinning on his accomplishment and nestled in to drift off to sleep, he all of a sudden felt fingers start to run through his hair. He turned a bit to look back and her eyes were closed, she appeared to be sleeping. He turned back to face the foot of the bed. She still continued to run her fingers through his hair. Even though it did feel good, he wasn't getting that tingling feeling, so that was OK. It felt like it did when she would rub him behind the neck when he was a bird. So, he just let the feeling sink in and then finally drifted off to sleep.

During the night Diaval drifted in and out of conciousness. He started to dream about the other night when he was locked in an embrace with his mistress. He dreamed of running his hands up and down her arms. All of sudden he felt a pull as she pulled him closer to her. This pull seemed intense, very realistic for a dream. He slowly drifted out of his dream and came too. He was staring his mistress in the face their noses almost touching. Her eyes were still closed. But he was horrified when he realized his arms were completely wrapped around her neck. Her arms were around his waist and were STILL trying to pull him closer. He could feel something heavy was on his leg. He slightly lifted his head to peer down his body and his mistress had her bare leg completely over and hooked around his legs.

"Oh No!", Diaval thought to himself. "If she wakes up and catches me like this, she will KILL me for sure."

"Now if I only could get my arms out then perhaps I might be able to lift her leg partially and then push myself down to the floor. It would appear as if I fell out of bed and nothing more." Diaval planned.

As he started to pull the arm out that was under her neck.

"Hmmmmmmmm...Ohhh", she let out a good moan.

Then she ran her arm up to his chest and pulled him closer to her his chest was firmly pressed against her breasts. Her leg tightened it's grip around his legs. Diaval had to move his head back otherwise their faces would have certainly met.

Now he couldn't move at all.

"Mmmmmmmmm", she let out another good moan. This one was loud enough that he even heard Aurora stir on the other side of the bed.

"Oh this is bad, really bad! I can't move and..." He paused for a bit and then he noticed that his mistress was starting to breath heavier than before. As she inhaled he could feel her breasts push into his chest. The feel of her so close suddenly caused that tingling sensation between his legs.

"No! This is the last thing I need now."

He could feel himself start to get larger and as before soon it was pressing up against his pants. But now with nowhere to go but up, the next spot it would expand into would be her thigh and that would be a huge problem.

"Think, Diaval, Think. Ravens are smart. Think before it is too late!"

Then an idea popped into his head when he noticed that we was right at the edge of the bed. "Ahhhhh, I will just roll over and pull her with me. I will land on the floor and she will land on top of me, cushioning her fall on top of me. Then I could play it off as if she rolled over on to me in her sleep and we both fell off the bed."

"I'm sorry, my mistress" he whispered and with that he held on to her back and gave a good twist to the side and..."Fadump!" The two fell to the floor.

On the way down, her forehead hit his forehead and her knee slammed right in his penis.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrghhhh", he yelled out.

Both Maleficent and Aurora woke up.

"Owwwww!" Maleficent yelled out, reaching up to her forehead.

"Where are you Faerie Godmother", Aurora exlaimed as she looked around and didn't see either her nor Diaval.

When Maleficent realized that she was lying right on top of Diaval, she jumped up and had a scared look on her face.

"What? How?" she said in a surprised voice.

Diaval was on the floor, his face scrunched up showing the look of pain. Both of his hands were clutching his penis.

Aurora, after hearing Diaval's grunts of pain, scrambled across the bed and saw Diaval on the floor in the exact place she saw her Faerie Godmother rise up from.

"Ohhhhh!" she had an ear to ear smile. "Where you two?" She paused and pointed her finger alternately between Maleficent and Diaval.

Both Maleficent and Diaval shouted out at the same time, "No!"

Diaval then pushed out the words between the pain, "Mistress rolled over into me and I fell down and she fell on top of me. It was an accident and nothing more."

Maleficent's frightened look melted away and she had a more serene look now on her face. "I'm sorry, Diaval. I do sometimes move around in my sleep and that is why I have a large bed. I must have rolled on top of you."

She reached over grabbed his hand and helped him up and on to the bed.

"Thank you, my mistress."

She sat down on the bed next to him and was rubbing her forehead. She had a puzzled look on her face. She shrugged her shoulders and then crawled back to her side of the bed.

It worked, albeit, not exactly as planned, but it worked.

"My mistress?"

"Yes, Diaval"

"Can you please change me back to my normal self and I will sleep in my nest for the rest of the night".

"Ohhhhhh! I want you to be with us," Aurora begged.

"Ok, Aurora, I will just sleep on the floor."

Diaval grabbed his blanket and moved over to the floor on Aurora's side of the bed.

The three of them all nestled back down and it wasn't long before they drifted off to sleep.
