The Two Uninvited Guests
Years have gone by and in the castle, servants chatter about the birth of a royal baby girl.
"Its a girl!" Said the servants.
Sitting on the window hearing the news in my crow from, I quickly made my way to Maleficent.
~~~~~~~
I was about to land near Maleficent when he turned me into a human. I stumbled in front of him.
He arches an eyebrow as I tried to catch my breath, flying take a lot of energy.
"Well?" He asked eager to know what I knew.
I hesitant, remembering what had happened last time.
"Well, you see my lord I didn't see anything but..."
"But what?"
I took a deep breath in.
"A child. King Stephan and Queen Leah have had a baby girl"
Maleficent smirked.
"Oh."
"There will be a christening. They say it's to be a grand celebration every royal, noble from all the land has been invited, except you, my lord" I told him.
"Oh my, that is true, Y/n"
"Well, aren't we going to make a special appearance?" He asked giving me a wicked grin.
I nodded.
"Of course let's make it a celebration they won't forget"
"What a wonderful idea Y/n"
3 POV
Everyone for all of the Kingdom came out to celebrate the christening of the baby princess.
All manner of folk came to the christening, even a trio of fairies who sought to foster peace and goodwill.
The trio of fairies made flew over the crowd.
"Oh, look, there's the baby!" Flittle, the blue fairy squealed.
"I love babies!" Thistletwit, the green fairy exclaimed.
"Can you just concentrate, please?" Knotgrass, the red fairy asked the other two fairies.
The fairies made their way to Stephan and Queen Leah.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Knotgrass of the Moorland Fair Folk" Knotgrass greeted as she curtsy.
Flittle curtsy as well.
"I'm Flittle, Your Kingship"
"And I'm Thistlewit, Your Royalnesses"
King Stephan looked at his wife.
"They bring gifts four our daughter" Queen Leah told him, reassuringly.
"These are not just any old gifts, for, you see, we're magic!" Flittle explained.
"And good with children" Kotgrass added.
Stephan reluctantly agrees to let them see their daughter.
Knotgrass was the first to fly over by Princess Aurora's crib.
"Sweet Aurora, I wish for you the gift of beauty"
Flittle came to the crib next.
"My wish is that you'll never be blue, only happy, all the days of your life."
A butterfly landed on baby Aurora's nose causing her to sneeze
Thistlewit was the last to come up.
"Sweet baby, my wish for you is that you find..."
Suddenly a great wind blows through the hall, Maleficent's shadow walking towards the King and Queen.
"Maleficent!"
"What is he going here?"
Maleficent had his crown on and his black robe, stood before King Stephan and Queen Leah grinning sinisterly at them.
Y/n flew in and landed on his staff.
"Well, well. What a glittering assemblage, King Stephan" Maleficent said, looking around.
"Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and..." He lets out another sinister laugh and looks at the fairies.
"How quaint. Even the rabble"
Maleficent snapped his fingers, turning Y/n into a human.
Gasps and whispers could be heard from the crown, seeing a crow be turned to a human.
Y/n rolled her eyes.
"I must say when a little bridie of mines told me of this grand celebration I felt quite distress at not receiving an invitation"
"You're not welcome along with that she-devil" Stephan spat out.
Maleficent narrowed his eyes at Stephan and flashed a dark aura only the king could see.
How dare he call Y/n a she-devil, she wasn't even close to that.
Stephan started at Maleficent in fear of that dark aura.
"Now, now Stephan. It's not very manly of a King to pick on a woman especially when you don't know how she belongs to"
"I do hope you aren't offended" Queen Leah asked.
Y/n shook her head no and make her way to see the baby herself since she's never seen a human baby before.
"Stay away from the princess! You she-devil!" Knotgrass told her.
"Yes, stay away!" Thistlewit added.
Y/n was a bit hurt that they called her a she-devil, even though she wasn't.
Maleficent could tell that she was hurt so he used his magic and tosses the three fairies and they landed into a chest.
Y/n smiled a bit.
"Why, no. And to show I bear no ill will, I too shall bestow a gift on the child"
Stephan raises up from his throne in anger.
"No! We don't want your gift" Stephan shouted.
Maleficent ignored him and walked to the crib next to Y/n, who looked at the child with curious eyes.
He looked at baby Aurora for a moment before casting his spell.
"Hmm. Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her"
"What a lovely gift" Queen Leah said quickly.
He then met eyes with the man who he had trusted and who took his wings.
"Don't do this" He begged.
Y/n sees notice a spinning wheel.
"For she would be pricked by a spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into an eternal sleep" She said to herself.
Maleficent heard the idea and smirked.
'She could be quite wicked when she wants too" He thought.
"But" He walks in front of the King and Queen and green powerful aura started to surround him. "Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep-like death! A sleep she'll never awaken!"
"Maleficent please don't do this, I'm begging you"
"I like you begging, do it again"
Stephan hesitated before bowing.
"I beg you"
He smirked.
"Alright. The princess can be woken from her death sleep, but only by... true love's kiss."
He turns to face the people
"This curse will last till the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!"
Then a blast of green light causes the people to fall and scream in fright. He laughs sinisterly before turning Y/n back to the crow and leaving with her right behind him.
King Stephan ordered all his men to seize spinning wheels in the kingdom. The wheels were broken and burned, that they might never be used, and thrown into the deepest dungeon in the castle. Secretly, he entrusted the safety of the child to the magic of the pixies, who would take her to a remote hideaway for sixteen years and a day.
The walk back to the Moors was quick, usually, Y/n who be jumping up and down and I would have to threaten her to tur she remained silent.
Honestly, I was worried about her.
I stopped in the mid walking causing Y/n to stop and look at me confused.
"Why did you stop?" She asked.
"Is it because I took the dress?" I said.
"What?"
I turned to face her.
"I said is it because I took the dress? If you wanted it back you could have asked for it"
Her eyebrows fumed together.
"What are you talking Maleficent?"
I smirked. I love it whenever she calls me by my name, though I'll never tell her that out loud.
"You know I love seeing humans sad and suffering but I can't stand to see you so... sad."
"Oh I see now"
"That we are almost to the Moors and we really should get going?"
"You're upset that they called you a she-devil, aren't you?"
I saw a flash of anger in her eyes before she looked away and scoffed.
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself Maleficent"
"Ah. Why do you let those pest get to your head?" I asked as I used my staff to make her face me.
"You're not a she-devil Y/n. Don't ever compare yourself to that you're worth more than all the gold and precious jewels they could ever have"
A grin spread across her face.
"Thank you Maleficent"
I moved my staff from her face.
"Good, now come along we must prepare" I then started to walk.
(Your POV)
I stood back and watch Maleficent walk head. I could help but grin as I touch my cheek. It was warm.
'You're worth more than all the gold and jewels they could ever have' His word repeated in my head. I could believe he told me that, was I really worth that much to him?
I could hear my name being called. Maleficent was a few feet ahead of me.
"What are you waiting for? Come along now"
I nodded and run up to him and we continue the walk back to the Moors.
Stephan shuts himself behind the walls of his castle while his soldiers rode far and wide to hunt Maleficent or his apprentice that they called The Warlock's Pet if the soldiers got her then they'll be able to tick Maleficent. But he had made walls of his own, a wall of thorned trees so that the Moors might never again suffer the touch of any human.
