The Fairies began their charge to raise Aurora in a snug little cottage in the woods.
"Oh, no! Is that this?" Knotgrass asked as they came to the cottage.
"Looks dreadful" Flittle commented.
"Come on" Knotgrass said as she let go of the horses
The three fairies had made it to the small cottage and struggled to lift Aurora.
"Oh, we need a smaller..."
They near drop baby Aurora as she was too heavy for them.
"Ooh! Baby" Thistlewit finished her sentence.
"Or bigger bodies"
"No, what we need is a proper disguise" Knotgrass said.
They rest Aurora's basket on the tree trunk.
"What do you mean?" Flittle asked.
"Well, we have to blend in, don't we? We have to be big enough to look after this baby. So, gather around, ladies. Get ready. One, two, three, grow!"
They spun and suddenly turned into human-like forms.
"Oh, that worked out quite well. That's very nice. Now, there will be no questions asked. We are no longer fairies. We are three peasant ladies raising our ophan child in the woods" Knotgraw explained to the others.
"Yes" Thistlewit agreed.
"So, uh...no more flying" Knotgrass said as she walked away.
Flittle and Thistlewit gasped and followed her.
"No flying?" Thistlewit asked.
"No, no, and no magic" Knotgrass added.
"No magic?" Flittle asked.
They walked into the cottage forgetting baby Aurora outside.
Aurora started to cry. The poor child was confused and left in the hot sun.
Y/n, in her bird form, lands on Aurora's basket briefly before Thistlewit came back outside.
"There you are. Why are you always hiding?" She asked as she picked up the basket.
"Come on. There you go"
I took Maleficent to the fairies cottage.
"Well, this is" I announced as we came in view of the cottage.
Maleficent hummed before walking towards the cottage window.
There lay Princess Aurora in the basket.
We looked in to see her blue eyes staring right back at us.
"Hello there" I said in a soft voice. She smiled and lifted her hand up and as about to touch her with my finger she held my index finger with her fist. This caused my darken heart to melt.
"Hmm. It's so ugly, you could almost feel sorry for it" Maleficent said.
Aroura stopped smiling and looked at him then she smiled and giggled at him.
He puts on a frightening face to scary her but she continues to smile at him.
"I hate you. Beasty" He told her causing me to smile a bit as I removed my finger from her tiny fist.
Suddenly we heard the faires coming back and we quickly turned and made our way back to the forest.
The fairies were perhaps unequal to their task.
The fairies allow with Aurora were outside trying to do work as Aurora cried in her basket.
"Why is she crying?" Flittle asked.
"I think she might be hungry" Thisletwit said.
"Then got feed her!" Knotgrass to them.
As Flittle goes to get her some food Y/n in her crow form watch from a tree branch.
'Do they even know what a human eats?' She thought.
She came back with some carrots and placed it in her basket.
"There you are" Flittle said
"There you go" Thisletwit cooed the still crying Aurora.
Y/n shook her head as she continued to cry Maleficent cover his eas in frustration.
"It's going to starve with those three looking after it" He gritted out.
Night fell and Aurora was still crying as the three fairies we asleep.
Y/n in her crow form flew through the window with a flower with water for her to drink.
She lands on her crib and starts rocking it as she drank for the flower
~~~~~~~~
Morning came and the fairies were seated at the table playing a board game.
Knotgrass was about to pick up a pice when Flittle grabbed her wrist.
"What?" Knotgrass asked, playing dumb.
"You're cheating" Flittle told her.
"I saw that!" Thistletwit added.
"We're starting over" Flittle said starting over the game
"Suit yourself" Knotgrass said.
"Greedy, bloated goat!" Flittle insulted
Thistletwit and Flittle started to laugh.
"Bloated goat" Flittle laughed, pointing a finger to Knotgrass.
Knotgrass was about to start the game when water started dripping from the ceiling.
"Stop doing that" She told Flittle.
"I'm not going anything" She told her honestly.
Knotgrass looked at Thistlewit.
"Well someone is"
"It's not me"
"You two are having a go at me, and I will not tolerate..."
Water starts back to dripping on her head again and she gets up from her chair angrily.
"Stop it" She shouted. (Her inner Dolores Umbridge has awoken)
Flittle and Thislewit looked at her as she sits back when suddenly rain started to pour down on her. The other two started to laugh when the entire cottage started to rain.
"Why..." Flittle asked.
Knotgrass looked at her.
"This is all your fault!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Your POV)
Outside the cottage, I lead against a tree as I watch Maleficent using his magic to play tricks on the fairies.
I was tired from taking care of Aurora last night, who knew a human baby need all that water.
I looked at Maleficent as he smiled to himself causing me to smile in my head, too tired to actually smile.
He looked at me.
"Oh, come on. That's funny" He told me.
I blinked at him before looking away.
"Now come on dear. What do I have to make you smile?" He asked.
'Marry me and let's rule the Moors together' I thought.
I sighed, knowing I could say that.
I looked at him.
"Continue...being you Maleficent, that's all I need"
He looked a bit shocked at first before letting out a chuckle.
"You really are something else my dear" He said before he continues playing with the faires.
Suddenly I could hear lighting being stuck and the fairies screaming getting louder.
This finally got a good laugh out of me.
As the days went on, Stephan darkened, further consumed by paranoia and vengeance.
Stephan had ordered his men to go to the wall for thorns and launch fireballs at it.
His General ordered the first launch.
The fireballs are launched into the thorned trees which begin to burn. The soldiers started to cheer.
Inside the Moors, Maleficent uses his magic to only makes the thorns grow taller and the soldiers run off in fear.
Back at the palace, King Stephan was enraged.
"You failed me" He told his general.
"The wall cannot be burned. It is indestructible" The captain explained to Stephan.
Steph walked up to his captain and suddenly slaps him in the face.
"Nothing is indestructible! Not the walk! Not Maleficent! Not even his curse!"
In his rage, he takes out his knife and stabs the table. He then pulls out the knife and looks at it and realizes that iron burns Maleficent.
He looks at his captain.
"Bring me the ironworkers"
(Your POV)
Maleficent and I were watching the three fairies enjoying a picnic in the woods when he decides to play yet another trick on them.
Using his magic he pulls Flittle's hair.
"Ow!" She cried out.
Thinking it was Thistletwit that puller her hair she pulls her hair.
"Ow!" Thistletwit said and the pulls Flittle's hair.
Maleficent uses his magic again to throw Knotgrass' hat off her head.
She looks at Thistletwit.
"You!"
Then Knotgrass and Flittle start hitting Thistletwit.
We watched them in amusement.
I noticed Aurora, who was 5 years old rushing off towards the edge of cliff chasing a butterfly.
"Maleficent~" I sang out playfully
Maleficent turned to face me.
"Yes?"
"We have a runaway beast" I informed him as I pointed to Aurora.
He turned the face her.
"Oh, look. The little beast is about to fall off the cliff"
Maleficent watches coldly as Aurora runs after the butterfly and as she goes over the edge of the cliff I covered my eyes.
Maleficent used his magic to have some branches catch her.
I sighed a breath of relief before IÂ looked at Maleficent.
'Look at him. He actually does have a soft spot for the child' I thought as a grin spread across my face.
Maleficent caught me looking at him.
"What? And why are you grinning like that?" He asked, his eyebrow raised.
I stood up and walked towards him.
He narrowed his eyes at me as I couch in front of him.
"Why you Maleficent-"
Suddenly I lost my balance a fell on his chest.
We looked at each other eyes widen and I could see a blush on his face.
"Are you blushing, my lord?" I asked nothing trusting my eyes.
His tched and looked away.
"You are on to talk, Y/n. You're as red as a bright ruby"
I place my head on his heart. I smiled hearing his heart beat. I was actually the most soothing thing I've ever heard.
I could feel him tense underneath me but he sighed, relaxing a bit and wrapped his arms around me.
~~~~~~~~
(3rd POV)
It seemed that neither one of them wanted to leave and Y/n had fallen asleep to Maleficent's heartbeat.
Maleficent was still awake stated to play with her hair and started thinking off what he felt for Y/n.
She the only person he has ever trusted since Stephan stole his wings and he cares so deeply about her so much when Stephan called her a 'she-devil' he was ready to end him there and then but revenge is always sweetest when aged with time so he didn't end him there and then. But something about her he needs to protect.
"What are you doing to me, Y/n?" He asked out loud.
He places a kiss on her forehead and lean his head on the branch and slowly closed his eyes, for once in years, Maleficent was finally able to fall asleep.
(Your POV)
A few days past after and Maleficent and I were in the forest walking.
"I'm just saying you could give me the ability to transform into my crow from and my human from whenever I would like" I suggested.
"Now why you I give you that privilege?" He asked.
"Well~ Because you care how I feel"
"Hmm" He simply said.
"If you could give me one more good reason, I'll do it" He said was we stopped by a tree that was slightly cut.
"Really?!" I asked, thrilled by the idea.
I could see a smirk on his face as he nodded. He used his magic to heal the tree why I started to think of other reason why he should give me that privilege.
I suddenly I saw Aurora walking towards us.
I started taping his shoulder till I was vigorously slapping it.
He swiftly turns to face me, annoyance was written all over his face.
" Do you want me to turn you into a wor-"
"Hello" Aurora said.
Maleficent fully turned to face his and held a cold look.
"Go away" He told her.
She smiles and steps towards him
"Go. Go away" He told her again but Aurora puts her around Maleficent and holds onto him
"I don't like children"
"Up, up" Aurora said ignoring what he just said.
He looked at me as I smirked.
'He's never going to hear the end of from me'
He sighed and reluctantly he picked her in his arms, Aurora then touches Maleficent's horns and I started to fake cough.
Maleficent sets her down again
"Mmm. Go along. Go, go, go." He told her but she came to me.
"Pretty bridie" She said pointing at my head.
I was confused so I touched my head only to put out black feathers.
I came down to Aurora's hight and I gave her a feather.
"Pretty human" I told her.
She smiled before turns and walks away into the woods.
I snapped my head towards Maleficent.
"Were you ever going to tell me I had feathers in my hair?" I asked.
He looked like he was giving the question a good thought.
"Hmm... Maybe" He smirked before turning and walking off.
I quickly followed him.
"Wait I still have to tell you another reason why to let me have that privilege!" I called after him.
As Maleficent had said, Aurora did grow in grace and beauty.
(3 POV)
Aurora was 8 years old and was outside playing with Y/n in her bird form. Once their game was over she started to stroking Y/n, who was enjoying it very much.
"Pretty bird" Aurora complimented her.
Far away from the lofty palace that she remembered not. And as the seasons changed and the flowers grew, so did she.
