Maleficent pov

Seeing this girl grab a necklace I frown recognizing the scale, only two people could have made that and any dragon who makes them would use their own for a mate.

Grabbing her hand I pull it away checking the necklace frowning more "you will tell me why she has stole my scale and made this for you" I growl.

The girl struggles trying to pull away from me "speak girl" I order wrapping my hand around the necklace ready to break whatever protection she's been given with my scale.

"No, don't please it helps me, it keeps me alive longer" she screams grabbing my wrist like it would stop me.

"And just why would she care about you living longer?" I demand.

"I can't say" she says.

Sneering I let the necklace go, my dragon refuses to allow harm to this thief and wants to protect her for whatever reason.

"You have stolen my scale, turned it into a necklace to keep you alive, and attempted to steal my pet you will tell me everything or I will eat you"

I frown seeing her shaking while looking past me but her eyes seem empty, I've only seen something like this once in a human it nearly drove him insane.

"You're a seer"

She sighs ducking her head "I can't say anything till they're here" she mutters.

"Who?" I demand.

"My friends" she hisses slapping my hand away when I reach out to grab her.

Narrowing my eyes I frown, clearly what ever she seen has given her confidence and she's no longer nervous.

Sneering I go to pull her inside but this girl walks right past me pushing me with her shoulder into my den like she owns the place.

Heading in I wave the doors closed and step into my throne room only to find her sat upon my throne looking at her nails.

"Get up" I order.

"Yes I'm very comfortable" she says without even glancing at me.

"If you do that you won't get any answers" she says in a completely calm voice while lifting the necklace as I start a spell.

Glaring at her I grab her shirt forcing her off my throne and sit making myself comfortable before letting her go.

"You have absolutely no manners or idea of how to be a proper host" she sneers smoothing her shirt.

"Rude thieving guest" I sneer back.

"How long till your friends get here?" I demand mockingly.

"Depends on how far it is from where you kidnapped me" she snaps while looking at my books.

She's a disrespectful self entitled brat, but I do not entirely hate her attitude it's refreshing to meet a woman this confident and strong, I had to build Regina up to the woman she is after the damage her mother, the king and that imp did, she was nothing more then a stubborn child that was desperate for freedom and still full of hope then.

Cordy pov

Finding a blank journal I yank it up before looking around again "hey I need to write" I call lifting the book.

Seeing her stare at me smirking I hum tilting my head "fine I'll find it myself".

Walking towards a shelf covered in things I start pulling them off "leave that alone" she orders yanking me back.

"I need to write and if you're going to continue holding me and my unicorn hostage then you will give me what I need" I answer.

Glancing at my hand I frown seeing a horn from a horse saddle that's slightly burned "what is this for?" I ask lifting it up.

She huffs taking it from me and starts putting everything back, rolling my eyes I move to another area looking around till I'm grabbed up.

Grunting I huff "you are not allowed to pick me up" I snap.

Getting dropped on a day bed I glare at her as she sits back down waving her hand lazily, seeing ink and a quil I smirk "see how much easier it is to give me what I want, keep me happy and I'll tell you about it" I ask smugly.

Faith pov

Huffing I cross my arms glaring at the castle in the distance "we are going to be walking for days" Emma whines.

"Shut up Zira" I mutter frowning at her.

"I panicked, I can't go around telling anyone my damn name here, even you and Cordy should have used false names"

"We'll deal with it after you get your damn magic back or we convince that dragon to teach me"

Hearing a high giggling I turn glaring at the imp sat on a large rock with his feet together like a child "you need magic deary" he says smugly.

"Help us or you never find him" Emma blurts out glaring at him.

Sighing I tilt me head back, I'll let her deal with him because I'll end pissing him off causing more trouble.

Once Emma makes the deal he sneers at me "you need to take the Queens memories of you".

"I'll handle it once we figure out the plan, now go back to plotting how your curse works and we'll come to you to get home" I snap.

Hearing him squeal then giggle I raise my brow "you are her daughter" he says sounding amused.

Watching him leave I scoff before continuing on "he could have helped with magic".

"No, I don't want anything to do with his teaching, I'll take my chances with the Dragon" I answer.

"She's called the Mistress of Evil" Emma scoffs.

"She taught Mom, and apparently has a soft spot for girls who are stubborn or pains in the ass and understands light magic"

"So Cordy?" Emma asks.

"Is a pain in the ass, bossy, and stubborn she's probably working her magic on the Dragon as we speak and the dragon will have no idea"
