CHAPTER 2

Maleficent woke to the sun shining in her face. Today was the day! Maleficent was turning sixteen today, June 6th, 1682. She rose out of bed and sat down at her vanity. She saw herself in the mirror. Maleficent was the beauty of the kingdom, Everyone assumed the Prince had his eye of Maleficent.

When she looked into the mirror she saw her pale face. Skin as white as snow, Without a Blemish in sight. She had full lips which were as read as blood. Her long brown hair with a few soft curls framed her face. But what stood out most was her deep blue eyes.

There was a sharp knock at the door, "Come In" she said. The door opened and in came Elnora, "Look at my Beautiful Girl" she said, "I got this for you". She handed her daughter a small black box. "You really didn't have to" Maleficent said. She opened the box and pulled out a beautiful necklace. The necklace was a silver chain with a single Emerald. "It's beautiful" Maleficent said. "I Knew you'd like it." Elnora said to Maleficent.

"Where is Father?" she asked. "Your Father is at the Castle Maleficent, You know that." Elnora replied. "I'd rather hoped he would stay long enough to wish me happy birthday. I don't think he's ever stayed home long enough to wish me happy birthday."

"Well, I'll send Lady Carina in to dress you, Then we need to make our way to the castle. We must oversee the preporation of your party." Elnora said. Maleficent sat down and looked in the mirror, As Elnora left she began to brush her hair. She buried her hands in her palms and cried.

Lady Carina soon came to Maleficent's Chamber. "What's the Matter Ma'am?" she said. "My Father." she said. Lady Carina was confused, "What's wrong with Sir Berwick?" she asked. "He hates me" "Nonsense! Now let's get you dressed into this beautiful Emerald Gown lady Berwick picked out."
