Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy the previously chapter of "Things I almost remember". Anyway I don't own them and they are belong to Disney except my OC's. I hope you all continue to enjoy this story and see you all in the next chapter. ;)
Jay had put Delia behind him as everyone was looking at The Mistress of All Evil. "I'M BAAACK!" Maleficent exclaimed. Mal is looking really irritated. "Go away, mother." Mal said, annoyed. Maleficent had chuckled. "She's funny. Here, wand me. Chop, chop." Maleficent ordered. "No!" Ben and Delia exclaimed in unison. Mal threw the wand towards Fairy Godmother. "Bippity Boppity…" Fairy Godmother started with the swish of her wand but was cut off by Maleficent.
"Boo." Maleficent said, mocking Fairy Godmother's voice and with the raise of her scepter, that was when everything stood still.
When Maleficent raised her scepter, everyone froze. Jay turned behind him and he had saw Delia who wa surprisingly unfrozen while the rest of Auradon was. She had this scared expression, yet Jay could tell that she was trying to be brave.
"Psych." Maleficent said with a laugh. "Hm. And another time and another time." Maleficent said, taking off Beast's glasses and placing them on his head a few moments later. Maleficent was singing something as she waltzed over to Fairy Godmother and stole her wand. "Oh. Oh no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs." Maleficent said then she looked over at us.
"Where shall we begin? Oh, I know. Why don't we start by getting rid of this." Maleficent said and with the flick of the wand, Ben's ring that was given to Mal was off of her finger. "Perfect fit!" Maleficent exclaimed. Mal looks so disheartened that it wasn't even funny. "Excuse me. The horns, the horns!" Maleficent said as she ducked under Fairy Godmother's arm. Then she made it over to Ben. "Falling in love is weak...and ridiculous." Maleficent said, messing up Ben's crown. Then, she spotted Delia who was also unfroze. "Oh, lookie who we have here. Looks like the son of Jafar and adopted daughter of them fell in love. Like I said, falling in love is so sad and pathetic." Maleficent drawled on.
Then, Delia necklace fly off of her neck and landed on her hand. "My necklace!"
After all that had happened, Mal had spoken up. "You don't know what I want." Mal spoke up. "Mom, have you ever asked me what I want? I'm not you." Mal started before Maleficent cuts in. "Well, obviously, I've had years, and years, and years in practicing being evil. You'll get there." Maleficent said. "No, I will not. And, I really wished you haven't gone bad yourself. Love is not weak or ridiculous, or sad and pathetic. It's actually really amazing." Mal said.
Maleficent. Was. Now. Furious
"You have no room for love in your life!" Maleficent exclaimed.
"And now I command
Wand in my hand"
Mal recited as the wand was now in her hand. It fucking worked! Maleficent tried the spell but it didn't work. "Maybe good is more powerful than evil." Carlos piped up. Maleficent cackled. "Please, you're killing me." Maleficent said before mimicking a dog's bark to scare Carlos. Carlos stepped aside and Dude jumped on Maleficent. "Oh! Breath! Breath! Get off me!" Maleficent exclaimed as she finally got Dude off of her.
Jay tried to take the scepter away from Maleficent and that obviously that didn't work. She leaned in closer and stroked his shoulder. "That little lady of yours should be lucky and Gaston would be jealous." Maleficent said as she flicked some magic that got me knocked off my feet. "Enough! You all. Will. Regret this!" Maleficent said as she transformed into a big ass dragon.
Maleficent breathed out fire and they all tried to not get roasted alive. "Come on! Run you guys, run!" Carlos yelled. No duh, that's what they all trying to do. Maleficent flew away from him and Delia. they ran back to where the thrones are and she appeared out of nowhere. Everyone was now yelling at them to run. Delia and Jay was running and when they made it back to Evie, Mal and Carlos, Evie made her magic mirror shine a bright light to distract Maleficent. Mal got Evie behind her.
"Leave my friends alone!" Mal exclaimed and Maleficent roared and shot a fireball and was going to hit Mal, but Delia quickly ran over to hit and shield her. It hit her and she collapsed on the ground.
"Delia!" Jay exclaimed as he rush over to her, drop to his knees and clutching her body.
"This is between you and me, mother." Mal said. Maleficent's eyes turned green and so did Mal's.
"The strength of evil is good as none
Than stand before four hearts as one."
Mal recited, but Maleficent wasn't backing down.
"The strength of evil is good as none
Than stand before four hearts as one."
"The strength of evil is good as none
Than stand before four hearts as one."
Mal recited again two more times. Mal and Maleficent are having their staring contest again. Then green smoke was around Maleficent and she was gone. Fairy Godmother was now unfrozen. They were all just commenting on what just happened. But they allowed Fairy Godmother to explain. "No, no, no. Your mother did. She shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why it's so itty-bitty." Fairy Godmother explained as they saw Maleficent as some kind of reptile.
"Is she gonna be like that forever?" Mal asked as she kneeled down to look at her mom. "Forever is a long time. You learned to love, so would she." Fairy Godmother said. "I believe this belongs to you." Mal said, giving Fairy Godmother her wand back. "And, I believe this belongs to you." Fairy Godmother said, giving Mal her ring back. "You all have earned yourself an A in goodness class." Fairy Godmother said as she and Mal stood up. "Bippity Boppity Boo!" Fairy Godmother exclaimed and everyone was unfrozen.
Ben lets out a very beastly roar. "Okay, okay, okay! We kind of got this all wrapped up here." Mal says. Ben, a little confused, sweeps Mal into a hug.
"Hey! Hello! Delia is conscious over here!" Jay yell as
he still clutching her body. They all look at Jay and they rush over them.
"What happen?" Fairy godmother ask. "Maleficent was going to shot Mal with a fireball but Delia ran in front of Mal and it hit her." Jay explained. "Do something!"
"I-I…" Fairy Godmother don't know what to do. "Perhaps a true love kiss will help?" Jay look at Delia as she like she's death.
"Delia, I never told you I fully loved you because I didn't fall in love with you because you're Ben sister but I love you because of your personality, your kindness and everything. And, Delia…I know what love feels like now," Jay says as he and Delia lip touch each other. But it didn't work. Jay try kiss her again but still didn't work.
"It not working!" Jay exclaimed. "Perhaps I could kiss her?" They all face forward to Empress Marie.
She came closer something constricting, yanking painful in her chest. It was enough to make her to kneel down and something wet dripping onto Delia's face-it took her a second to realise that the steady falling of water was tears that had been steadily falling.
Empress Marie reached out gently brushing the strand of her light brown hair that had fallen into Delia's eyes out of the way gently her hand burning at the feel of skin to skin contact. The numbness was beginning to wear off the pain choking in her throat, noise and sight blurring.
How, Marie didn't know but she managed to clear his throat to say the one thing that she could frame into words, the one thing that she knew to be the only thing she had never lied to Delia since then about, the one thing that Delilah knew beyond a shadow of a doubt to be true.
Heart silently shattering again and again and again she gently bent down to where Delias hair met skin, "I love…you…Delilah, please remember your dear old great grandmother." She managed to frame out in between the silent sobs that were shuddering throughout her whole body. Her thumb grazed skin for the briefest of seconds before her lips gently met Delia's forehead.
Delia Dream
Delia woke up and saw that she's in the vestibule of the Winter Palace it seem to be abandons, Everything is all cover in dusts and spider webs, stuff was untouched and some look so elegant and beautiful that was cover in dust. And she was still wearing the dress she wore on Ben coronation. Delia crosses the floor to the stairs, looking back towards the entrance hearing a noise. Thinking that it was just the winter air, she climb the steps following. By then, Delia are on the second floor turning a corner till she head toward a large palace open door.
"Hello! Anybody home?" She called out.
From the looks of things, this palace truly was abandoned. But that doesn't mean that she couldn't explore this place for a while.
Delia then walked into a small banquet hall, she bends down to inspect half of a broken plate. The instant she touches it she sees a vision from her past, startling her for a moment. She soon walks toward a large vase, painted with dancing bears.
She then went to a vanity that was near a door and spotted a strangely familiar vase.
"Bowls, plates, hmm…" Delia said as she studied everything on the table.
"This place, it's like, like…" Delia whispered herself as she run her fingers along the object's smooth surface.
"Like a memory from a dream."
It was then that Delia began to sing, her voices melt in perfect harmony.
Delia:
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
*Delia wander to the top of a huge staircase, which leads down to the once grand ballroom. She stops at a large landing halfway down the steps.*
Delia:
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a Silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully across my memories.
*Out of nowhere figures emerged out of the paintings, their appearance ghost-like. Delia then curtsied to a ghost couple and spun out onto the dance floor, singing even louder. Delia started dancing around the decrepit ballroom. The last picture to come alive was Tsar Dimitri and Tsarina Anastasia of the Romanovs. And her grandfather, grandmother, her three aunts, and her uncle.*
Delia:
Someone holds me safe and warm
*Olga, Tatiana, and Maria came out onto the dance floor.*
Delia:
Horses prance through a silver storm
*Her three aunts study her as one touch her hand and other look at her smiling one and other.*
Delia:
Figures dancing gracefully
*Maria put a necklace on Delia's neck*
Delia:
across my memories!
*The three aunts then grabbed a partner and began to dance.*
*She spun around and found herself in dress. she's wearing a long white opera gloves, a golden t-strap pumps with golden bow on the bottom, light brown hair with blue ribbon on the bottom of her four inch crown that match the color of her dress and dressed in a shades of pale pink and lavender dress. She then found herself in the arms of a very handsome young men.
Delia:
Far away long ago...
Glowing dim as an Ember
*Suddenly, Dimitri, Anastasia, Nicholas, Alexandria, Olga, Tatiana, Marie, and Alexi enter onto the floor and glide through the group toward Delia.*
Delia:
Things my heart
Used to know
Thinks it yearns to remember…
*The man then spun her around before bowing to Dimitri and Anastasia, who had just walked onto the dance floor. They are is now facing Delia, as Dimitri extends his arms as if inviting her to dance with him. He took Delia into one arm and his wife Anastasia into the other, twirling them around slowly.
Delia:
And a song
Someone sings…
*Delia is released from them and embrace, as Anastasia kiss her on her right cheek and Dimitri kisses her on the forehead before slowly backing away as a shuddering wind flew through the ballroom as she began to remember. She remember she and Valdimire use to play together, prank her tutors and the staffs, her parents Dimitri and Anastasia, she climb the tree and refused to climb down, she love to paint and draw, she is interested of photography, her ten birthday, her great grandmother, the music box, the necklace, Rasputin, the Romanov curse, she and her great grandmother escape the palace, they went to the train station, she trip on a rock, tumble down the hill, and landed on the rushing flowing river and then to the swirling portal. She remember who she's, she is the crown princess and the future queen of Russia. Delilah Dmitrievna Romanov.*
Delia:
Once upon a December
*Delia finished the last line of the song and does a full curtsy and bowing her heads low to the her parents Dimitri and Anastasia. She remember her parents. Suddenly, there was a blinding white light filled palace ballroom. She shut his eyes as her dream end.*
Delia Dream end
And then, in the depth of her despair and misery and agony, fate decided to throw her a bone.
A shuddering wind flew through the church staggering her backwards with the force she turned around fingers still twisted in a death grip in Delia's hair to face Jay who too had silent tears dripping down his face standing there.
And then something moved under her hand.
Delia was moving under his hand.
She turned around nearly breaking his neck in doing so to see two pairs of chocolate brow eyes staring right back at her. Two eyes that she had never thought she would see look at her again.
"я тебя люблю слишком, I love you too" Delia said looking utterly happy "Great Grandmother" she said and something escaped Marie that sounded like a cross between a laugh and a cry. How many nights had she stayed awake wondering over the course of the many year whether or not if she was still alive and would ever be called that again?
"Wha…" she pulled back running a hand down Delia face checking for injuries before turning to face Valdimire who was walking over and grinning weakly through her damp face, "What happened?"
Valdimire grinned "True Love's Kiss can break any curse" she said as if quoting from memory what she had once been told "You broke the Romanov curse" she was clutching the bed in relief and when she spoke again her voice was full of wonder "You did it."
Pressing Delia closer to her, her eyes catching Valdimire's for the briefest of seconds Marie closed her eyes taking steadying gulps of air to control herself. "I love you Delilah" she repeated hugging Delia close again "I love you, I love you so much"
"I love you to great grandmother" Delia said as she hug her.
"She cannot be a lost princess! Just look at her! She isn't look like Princess Delilah Dmitrievna Romanov!" Audrey exclaimed. Empress Marie help got up on her feet as Delilah stare at her. "I am Princess Delilah Dmitrievna Romanov daughter of Tsar Dimitri and Tsaritsa Anastasia Romanov."
Audrey just huff as she spun around to face everyone. "This is ridiculous. The Princess died seven years ago! Everyone know that!"
"Did you have proof Delia? Because I don't see it, you're not a real princess, and you will never be." Chad walk up and stood beside to Audrey.
Valdimire pick Delia necklace on the floor as she give it to Delia, Delia thank her as she put her necklace on but even when she placed it on her neck, no one released their breath until the beautiful necklace glowed brightly.
Standing up on the podium, Ben, his parent, the rotten to the cores finally moved. They walked to get a better look at what was happening. In front of them, Delia spun around on the spot as the magic swirl around her as her coronation dress transformed into a beautiful dress from her dream. She is now wearing a long white opera gloves, a golden t-strap pumps with golden bow on the bottom, a white long socking, Mary Jane shoes, blue ribbon on the bottom of her four inch crown that match the color of her dress and dressed in a shades of pale pink and lavender dress.
"It's Princess Delilah Dimitrievna Romanov!" Lonnie exclaimed as Delilah look at herself as she turn to Ben, Ben smile at her as he kneels down to her, Mal also kneels down to her and row by row, every person in the church kneels down to her. Audrey and Chad family also kneels down to her except them as they standing there looking shock.
"Well, here your proof, I am a real princess and the lost princess of Russia, is there anything you like to say?" Delilah smirk at her as Audrey and Chad kneels down to her.
"Your majesty! Please forgive me for my cruelty to you back when we're young, I was just p-playing t-that all." Audrey said as she laugh nervously.
"And please forgive me for using you to do my homework!" Chad beg for forgiveness.
"Audrey, Chad, even thought you were both being mean to me, I forgives you." Delilah said, "but there will be some punishment for you two. That will be later during the party. I will speak with you two along with my adopted parents, Fairy Godmother, and my great grandmother." Delia said.
"Yeah, less talking and let's get this party started!" says Jay. Ben, Delilah, and the VKs cheer, ready to party.
They are partying at Auradon Prep and it is lots of fun. Delia have change her dress into her a short version of her blue dress, she see Jane all sad sitting a bench by herself. She walk over to her and sit next to her.
"Jane, why are you alone?" Delia ask. "You supposed to have fun!"
"My mom put me in a time-out," Jane answers grumpily.
And then Delia get up when she see Jay and Carlos coming. They talk a little and go to dance with her. And Delia grab Hay arm and dance with her as the Fireworks go off. She sing and dance with Jay. Everyone parties and cheers about setting it off. It was really a happy ending to this very interesting month. She having fun to the point that her adopted came up behind her.
"Delia, remember that you will talk to Audrey and Chad about their punishment? They're waiting in library, waiting for their punishment." King Adam whispered to her ear as Delia nodded okay as she excuse herself to Jay and told her that she will be back later.
