Aurora wasn't born with beauty, it was forced upon her. Let me explain to you what everyone saw, when the child was born. She wasn't just pale, she had a sick tint of an extremely pale green as her complexion. Her hair was thick, and black, but there were two spots on her head, wear her hair wouldn't grow. She didn't have wings, she was half human after all, and she didn't have carnivorous teeth either, but she did have claws for nails. Of course our loving Aurora grew up happy, but that was because she hadn't the slightest clue of what she was.

Her 'father' -The King had sent her off to a poor little cottage, in the middle of nowhere. It was somewhat too close to the creatures land, and too close to far off the edge of the human's land. No one had traveled such a distance. To Aurora these three fairies were very much human, they were her three step-mothers (not aunts), those three fairies were greedy, and refused to take care of her, an less they knew they had a part of the throne; which wasn't very well thought out if you ask me.

But as stupid and cruel as all three of them were, they had their moments. When Aurora was first put in their care, they changed everything vile about her. As fairies, they saw the beauty of both the humans, and fair-people, but the couldn't see the beauty of both species of so much difference combining into one another. And that's where they took the blessing from in the traditional story. Iron burns fairies, but she was only half fairy, so it only burned the parts that were entirely fairy. The two bald spots on her head were there because she was growing horns, just like Maleficent's. They made her a black band, complete made out of Iron, for her to wear over her horns as a head band. Getting burnt for just a few seconds can last days, and still cause pain. This child was expected to live with it 24/7 without a single tear fall from her eyes. This was the first blessing, from Knotgrass.

"I give you the blessing of happiness, so that you'll never be sad, and so that you'll shut up with your crying." So Aurora cried no more, but she did have questions, she always asked why things ran away from her, and what was wrong with her, why she looked the way she looked. This brought up the second blessing, from Merrywether.

"I give you the blessing of beauty, so that no one will be frightened of your ugliness." Instantly her hair grew long, and bleached into a golden blond. Her skin was no longer pale, and her eyes, were a shivering shade of blue. But despite her happiness, and her beauty, she was still annoying. Which brings us to the third blessing, from Thiswit.

"I give you the blessing of admiration, so that everyone will love you, and you'll stop annoying the living hell out of everything that breathes." and that's it, that's how our beautiful sleeping beauty, came to be . . . well her.

Everyday is the same, "You're lucky that you have us to take care of you."

"Be grateful that were so generous, and are willing to waste our time with a girl like you." My three step-mothers all spoke to me as if I were a completely different species. But I'm just as much of a human as they are, well . . . I'm trying to believe that anyways. Everyday I just doubt that fact even more, that maybe I should just rebel and be as cruel to them as they are to me. I have nothing but a pathetic little owl to talk to. Sometimes I don't even think he understand what I'm saying, I'm going mad.

"Aurora!" Oh goodness, having my name screamed out in fury once was tolerable, but to have all three of my step-mothers call for me furiously at the same time, I knew there'd be no mercy to the consciences of whatever I didn't wrong this time. I came down the stairs, stomping my feet on each step as loud as possible so that they could here that I was coming down rather quickly.

"Yes-" I was stunned when I saw them, Merrywether's face was blue, Knotgrass' face was green, and Thiswit's face was pink. Even though I had nothing to do with the situation, I was jealous that I hadn't. I couldn't breath, I was afraid that I would burst into an everlasting curse of laughter.

All of their eyes were flinching as they looked at me. attempting not to laugh at them, and their stupidity. "What - is - the meaning of this!" Merrywether's stomped her foot on the ground and furiously pointed to her face, completely forgetting about the other two who were just as angry with me. The worse part about my step-mothers was that they weren't clumsy, or stupid; they were all just idiots. "I promise you Mother Merrywether I had nothing to do with your - um, colored faces." I barely made it to the end of my sentence. They all exchanged glances to one another, and then they all stared at me in silence. I guess they thought the power of their eye's emotion would break me into telling them what they wanted to hear. But all three of my step-mothers are extremely impatient. Thiswit is the one who decided to break the silence.

"Why you good for nothing , lying, ignorant child. Why did you put the extra baking powder in the cake! you knew this would happen, what in the hell have we ever done to you?" I feel like saying she was on the verge of tears, but in reality, she was just really red, and had a naturally abnormally high voice. She always sounded like she was going to cry. "Mother Thiswit, I assure you I didn't do anything to the cake, I hate baking - I would never go anywhere near an oven." Every word I said made her shake even more. "Oh don't you give me all of those bull-shit lies!" I could see some of the animals crowding up at the window, some taking my side, and some taking the other. I was surprised that none of them were cheering, and telling each other off.

Before I could open my mouth Knotgrass, began to play shy. "It was the extra baking powder?" Now all eyes were on Knotgrass, and I smiled, thinking that there was no way at this point that they could blame it all on me. "But I slipped in some extra, because I lost track of how much I had already put, because Aurora was singing so loudly. She wasn't even singing, she was screeching." Shit. I shouldn't have put my hopes up so high, all eyes were back on me. " Why you inconsiderate little girl. You can't sing, so don't sing anymore, maybe I should give you another blessing." Merrywether started waving her hand around in the air, and pink dust began to collect around it.

"Wait." My heart sunk in relief. "I know what we should do . . . put her in the woods over night, if she's going to screech like an animal she might as well live like one. Then we'll see if she wants to 'sing' again. All three of them laughed, and I was paralyzed with fear, the forest wasn't a normal forest, things happen in there. "Don't do this, I'm sorry - I won't sing." I squirmed as the grabbed my arms and legs to drag out side. Even though it was morning, I guess the sooner they kicked me out the better, then they'd have less time to doubt themselves about their decision. "Too late." All three of them spat out to me, within a matter of seconds, I was out of the cottage, and I no longer had a home. But I had no Idea, how I was going to survive in a forest like this. Once the sun drops, I'm screwed.
