Hey guys happy New Years! I really hope you like this chapter, especially after what happened last year.

Enchanted Forest

Maleficent hissed as she touched the tender skin on the left side of her neck. That stupid prince. How dare he invade her home and attack her? Does he not know who she was? She was Maleficent, mistress of all evil. Or that's what the mortals called her. Maleficent looked into the mirror and growled. A bruise was forming. A big one no doubt. She would find him and he would pay.

Maleficent rolled her eyes as she heard that stupid giggle. Of course that imp would come into her home uninvited. She really needed to hire better guards. Maleficent looked over her shoulder to see Rumpelstiltskin sitting on her table, drumming his fingers together with that sinister grin. God Maleficent hated him, more likely he was somehow involved with the earlier invasion.

"Go away," Maleficent said, unamused of his presence.

"But why dearie?" He jumped off the table. "The fun had just started," he giggled. "You might want to check that out," he pointed at the bruise on Maleficent's neck.

"I'm fine," she growled. "Leave me alone," Maleficent hated uninvited guest, especially him. No good could ever come if the Dark One was there. Unless. Maleficent quickly summoned her staff. He must had known that the dark curse was hidden in her staff and wanted to take it. Over her dead body, he was the worst person to have the dark curse in their possession. No good could ever come out of it.

"Oh I don't want that," Maleficent knew he was talking about the curse, but she didn't believe him. Maleficent gripped her staff for dear life. She was prepared to fight if it came down to it. "I don't have any use for it, for now."

"What do you want?" She didn't like how he said that he didn't need the curse yet.

"Just wanted to check on my favorite dragon," his grin left chills down her spin. He was not the type of person who would drop by just because. There had to be a reason why he came by. How did he know that she was injured? The only way he could know that was…

"So it was your handy work," Maleficent started to put the pieces together. He was the reason that stupid prince invaded her home.

"Guilty," he admitted, "but as I see that you are all right, I will take my leave," he quickly left without giving Maleficent a chance to ask him what he put inside of her. If the Dark One was involved, then the prince wouldn't not had known what the Dark One's plans were. She had to know what was inside of her.

A knock on the door brought Maleficent back to reality. "Your majesty," a young opened the door. "You have a visitor," whoever it was, at least they didn't barge into her home without her permission.

Storybrooke

"So… You have a kid?" Lily asked. This was overwhelming. She had an older brother and he had a kid. Lily didn't know what to make of it. She was a little upset that Maleficent didn't tell her about him, but after listening to her brother's story she understood why. It destroyed Maleficent when she thought that her only son was dead. No wonder she was so determined to make their relationship work. Maleficent's mother, her father, sister, husband, and Evie; they were all dead. And for a long time, Maleficent believed Morgan was dead as well.

She felt bad for pushing Maleficent away the first time she met her. She didn't know the truth. Her mother's story was never written for the whole world to know. Only the part where she cursed Briar Rose's child. Serves her right. How could she get away from taking her brother and still looked as a hero? She deserved to be punished.

"Yeah. My boy," he said with full of pride. Lily couldn't understand why he didn't want to go take his revenge on Briar Rose. She had no power here and she had a daughter and grandson. Surely it was easy to hurt them. Instead, he was here talking about his son and wife. Not that Lily didn't want to meet them, it's just shouldn't he want to hurt the person that hurt him before everyone knew he was alive and before they would attack his family.

"How old is he?" she asked, wanting to know more about her nephew.

"Four. I can't wait for you to meet him and Jocelyn," he said excitedly. Lily could see that he wanted her in his life. If only he knew the truth. Lily wanted to be in her brother's life, but knew it wasn't a good idea. She was full of darkness. Every time she would find someone who wanted her to be part of their life it never worked. She would always do something to miss it up. Lily knew that her mother said that she didn't mind a little darkness, but what if it was too much darkness for Maleficent to handle. What if Lily was cursed to never have a family?

"What I can't understand is how you two were able to have a baby? I mean, from what I hear, your body is frozen in time, you can't age or get sick. So I doubt it was easy getting pregnant."

"You're right it wasn't. it was all because of Sophie. She is one of the best potion makers I know. The ingredients were very rare and it took her a few years to make it, but she made a potion that allowed us to have Marcus and for him to age," Morgan smiled at the thought of his son. Lily knew she owed Sophia so much, but she couldn't trust her. Not what Emma had told her. if she wasn't Sophia, then who was she? She couldn't ask Morgan; he wouldn't tell her.

"Marcus, after your dad right?"

"That's right. I wanted my son to know about his family. To know that he was named after the greatest man I have ever known," Morgan's father sounded like a great man. She wished she would had met him. She wished that she knew her father.

The two dragons froze in place when they heard a creek from upstairs. It was impossible, other than their mother and Regina, they were the only ones who were in the house. Morgan put his finger to his lips, telling Lily to stay quiet. She followed her older brother up the stairs, ready to attack the intruder.

Enchanted Forest

Maleficent marched to the main room. Honestly, three uninvited guest. Was this her home or an inn. Even with more people now working for her two of the three intruders were able to sneak past her guards. At least this one was not trying to sneak into her home and made themselves known, she will give them credit for that. As she grew closer, she was able to feel this guest's power. It was familiar. Could it be? Maleficent quickened her pace. It couldn't be her could it? She slowed down once she neared the room. Maleficent knew who it was, how could she be there?

Quietly, Maleficent opened the door to see a young girl. Well, she was no longer a girl, but not yet a woman, just somewhere in between. It was like deja vu all over again. There she was, in need of Maleficent's help. However, instead of a shy, young girl that had no control over magic, stood a teen summoning a fireball and throwing it into the fire place. Light filled the room as Maleficent saw her uninvited guest. "Evie," she whispered.

The girl quickly spun her head toward Maleficent. "Mal," a smile crossed her lip as Evie came closer to her. She had missed the girl's presence and her mother's. "Mal what happened?" Evie quickly stopped. "You're hurt," Maleficent cursed herself. She completely forgot about the bruise forming on her neck.

"I'm fine dear," Maleficent tried to assure Evie that she was fine. But she could see that wasn't working. "So I see your mother had let you visit me."

"Not exactly," a guilty look crossed the young girl.

"Evie," Maleficent raised an eyebrow waiting for the young girl to explain.

"I had to leave. Maleficent it was bad. The Queen of Hearts took my grandfather and my mother had place Snow under a sleeping cure," years of pain came all at once as Evie started to cry. Cry from the loss of her grandfather, sister, the loss of her freedom. Maleficent went to the young girl and hugged her tightly. No one should go through this. She wished she could take all of Evie's pain away. "Please tell me you had nothing to do with this," Evie tried to calm herself down. But she grew tense the longer Maleficent did not reply. "Mal why?" She pushed herself out of Maleficent's arms. "She's my sister. How could you do this?"

"I did it for you," Maleficent tried to explain.

"For me?" Evie asked in shock. "I never wanted to hurt Snow," Maleficent could see Evie was upset with her and it was understandable. She was partly the reason why Snow was under the sleeping curse. Maleficent brought forth her staff once more. Evie had to know the truth.

"Do you see this?"

"That's your staff," Evie replied, curious at what Maleficent was getting at.

"Notice anything different?" Maleficent brought the staff closer to the young witch.

"What is that?" Evie's curious gaze never left the scroll on top of Maleficent's staff.

"That my dear is the dark curse," Maleficent moved her staff away from Evie.

"The dark curse? What is the dark curse?"

"Something you should never play with. You know who had this curse?" Evie shook her head. "Your mother. She planned to enact this curse. I traded her my sleeping curse for the dark curse. I know that you care for Snow White, but I rather sacrifice one person than let everything go to Hell," Maleficent wrapped an arm around Evie, seeing it was hard to take in.

"What does the curse do?" The young girl whispered.

"Evie," Maleficent let go of the younger witch. "I won't tell you. The less you know the better." Both Maleficent and Evie knew this wasn't over.

Storybrooke

Lily quietly followed her bother down the hall. They knew one of them should had told either Maleficent or Regina that they heard something coming from upstairs, but neither turned back. Lily felt drawn to the noise. Her brows grew close in confusion. The light in her room was on, the noise was coming from her room. Who in the world would want anything of her?

The door was partially opened. Both Lily and Morgan looked into the bedroom. The lilac room seemed undisturbed with the exception of Lily's black wooden dresser, where the Evil Queen was looking through a wooden box Maleficent had given her.

"I know you here dear," the Evil Queen said without turning around. "Come out. You don't need to hide from me," Morgan placed his hand on Lily's arm, telling her not to go. She removed his hand from her arm, she needed him to trust her. Lily walked into the room, she held her head high, not showing any fear. "I won't hurt you."

"I beg to differ," the Evil Queen turned around. Her sinister grin didn't faze Lily.

"Wouldn't had to happen if you would had willing to help me," the Evil Queen continued her search in Lily's box. Lily had no idea what the Evil Queen was looking for. She had a few pictures from her childhood, a few trinkets that held some sentimental value, and the rattle Maleficent had given her the day they met.

"Help you?" Lily walked up to the Evil Queen. "As if," she pulled the box away. "What are you doing anyway? Why are you here?"

"I need something," the Evil Queen kept grinning as she raised her fist and released it only to reveal that she had Evie's necklace, dangling from her fingers.

"Give it back it's mine," Lily tried to talk the necklace back, but the Evil Queen was faster and moved her hand before Lily could reached it.

"No. I gave it to Evelyn for her eighth birthday so it is hers. But here," an identical necklace appeared in the Evil Queen's other hand. The only difference between this necklace and Evie's was the gem. It was amethyst. "This one is for you," the Evil Queen offered the piece of jewelry.

"I want nothing from you," Lily slapped the Evil Queen's hand away from her. The necklace flew to the ground near lily's bed.

"Is that any way to treat your mother?" The Evil Queen's glare made Lily uncomfortable. What was she talking about? Everyone knew that Lily was Maleficent's daughter not Regina's. Sure, she admit, the first time she met Regina Lily thought she was her mother, but when Emma explained that Regina was the Evil Queen all thoughts of Regina being her mother was gone. Maybe the Evil Queen had finally lost it? Did she look like Evie?

"You're mental," Evie turned around to see Morgan at the door. "Evie is not here. Lily is not Evie. She is Maleficent's daughter. My sister."

"Of course she isn't Evelyn," the Evil Queen spat at Morgan, "I know that. I also know that Lily is my daughter," the Evil Queen looked back at Lily.

"You're crazy, lady."

"Am I? well insanity runs in the family. Tell me," Morgan went closer to Lily as the Evil Queen began to circle them, "has Maleficent told you who your father is?"

"She doesn't know who he is."

"That's a lie," both Lily and Morgan flinched as the Evil Queen's voice rose. "She knew. She told Regina the truth. She told Regina that you're mine," Lily stood up straight as the Evil Queen was only inches away from her. She had to be lying, her mother would tell her that Regina was her other parent if it was true, but it wasn't. Two women can't make a baby, could they?

"Lily don't listen to her," Morgan brought her back to reality.

"Shut up," the Evil Queen blasted her bother with a beam of light. Morgan landed on the other side of the room and slide to the floor with a loud thump.

"MORGAN!" Lily jumped over her bed to reach her older brother. She reached his neck to see if there was a pulse. She could hear footsteps running up the stairs, no doubt it was her mother and Regina. Lily let out a sigh of relief when she felt his pulse, he was going to be okay.

"What are you doing here?" Regina growled. Lily turned around to see her mother and Regina ready to fight the Evil Queen.

"Get out of my house," Maleficent yelled as Regina summoned a fireball.

"Oh I will. I got what I need," the Evil Queen wrapped her hand around the necklace. "See you soon my dear Lilith," she winked at Lily and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Lily are you all right?" Maleficent ran to her children.

"Is it true?" Maleficent stopped only a few feet away from her children "Is she my mother?" Lily had to know the truth. She hoped that the Evil Queen was lying.

"Lily we were going to tell you," her heart broke into a million pieces. She knew. Her mother knew who her father was this who time. Who was she kidding she didn't have a father, just an evil queen. Was this her game? To use her until she was tired of her. Lily quickly got up and shoved past Maleficent. "Lily," she called out, but Lily didn't turn back.

"Lily," Regina grabbed her arm, "listen to your mother."

"Don't touch me," Lily growled as she pulled her arm out of Regina's grasp. "You don't have the right to touch me," Lily pushed past Regina and ran out of the house. She didn't care where she went. She wanted to leave.

Well that escalated quickly. Tell me what you guys think. Good. Bad. Tell me in that box below. And if you haven't, favorite and follow this story and I will see you next week.
