As the smoke cleared around Mal she looked around with wide eyes. Looking around at the stairway she had appeared in she couldn't shake the feeling that she knew this place. Her feet moved before her brain could catch up, instinctively walking up the stairway until she came to a single door at the top. Mal hesitated for just a moment before reaching out and opening the door.

The purple haired teen froze in place and gasped audibly at the sight in front of her. Her eyes darting from the spinning wheel to Princess Aurora and landing on her mothers cold green eyes. Before she could stop herself she stepped out from the door way and grabbed onto Aurora's arm "Don't!" she called out, her mouth moving quicker than her brain could react. As soon as she grabbed Aurora's arm she bit her lip as the sun set and Maleficent appeared, her piercing green eyes and menacing glare made Mal's skin crawl and she knew at that moment she had screwed up.

"You meddlesome fool!" Maleficent exclaimed as she raised her staff in her left hand.

Mal jumped backwards and glanced at Aurora and then at her mother and shuffled back slightly as she stared at Maleficent's anger that was clear all over her face. She could tell that the dark fairy was not very happy that her plan had been foiled and as she looked at Aurora's horrified face she knew she had just made a terrible story altering mistake.

"how dare you get in the way of my plans! How did you even get here…oh enough of that I will get my answers but first!" Maleficent exclaimed before grabbing Aurora's arm tightly "you will prick your finger on the spindle now! Do it I say or this entire kingdom shall pay" she growled threateningly.

Aurora's eyes widened in fear but she hesitantly did as Maleficent told her and pricked her finger wincing as the spindle pricked her and caused a small drop of blood to form. She looked up at Maleficent who looked even more furious then before if that were even possible.

"No! Damn you all! My curse my beautiful curse it's ruined!" Maleficent screamed as lightning flashed and thunder rolled outside, the dark fairy's eyes landing on Mal. "YOU! This is all your fault" she sneered before grabbing Mal's arm tightly in her own and throwing Aurora to the ground "I will get my happy ending if its the last thing I do!"

By the time the three good fairies made it upstairs Maleficent had Mal by her throat and the princess was laying on the floor but was surprisingly not asleep.

"Princess?! you're alright!" Flora exclaimed as she fluttered towards the blonde haired woman.

Fauna and Merryweather however were looking at Maleficent and Mal with seriousness wondering who that purple haired teenager was and what exactly had happened.

Malefient cackled and made thorns climb through the tower window and wrap the fairies and the princess up tightly "You will not escape my clutches now!"

Mal bit her lip knowing she had to think fast and quickly switched tactics "Mo..Maleficent leave them 't hurt them" she exclaimed and pleaded with the woman.

Maleficent looked at Mal and narrowed her eyes the sounds of gasping for air surrounding the small tower room as she seemed to be studying her carefully "since you've ruined my plans and you decided to meddle in my curse little girl I will take you as correlation for what I have lost" she snapped.

"You can't just take a child like that!" Aurora spoke for the first time since the moment she arrived in the tower. "Please do not take her she is innocent surely she didn't know what you were going to do Maleficent" she said with wide eyes as she looked at Mal and back at Maleficent.

"Silence!" Maleficent shouted causing another crack of lightning "I am taking this girl and you are going to remain safe…but mark my words I will be back for you and your precious family" she snapped before transporting herself and Mal away from the castle.

Fauna, Flora and Merry weather all helped Aurora to her feet "whoever that girl was is a hero..a savior or a saint sent to save you we must go tell the king and Queen" Fauna said excitedly "Come along Aurora let us go see your parents" Merry weather said.

Aurora continued however to stare at the spot where Maleficent and Mal once stood and a single tear falling from her cheek lightly before following the three good fairies back down to her bedroom chambers. "I hope she will be alright" she said softly to herself as she glanced back at the room before sighing and following her godmothers.

Meanwhile back at the forbidden fortress Mal was thrown into a dungeon cell and landed roughly on her side. She bit her lip before standing up again and looking at Maleficent "Look I know your upset about this..but really you could try so many different professions…have you ever thought of.. uh.. botany?" she questioned as she looked at the dead plants all around the room "Oh or maybe..you could become a dog trainer?" she exclaimed before noticing the small round ogre type minions that walked beside Maleficent "or…maybe not…" she said as she made a face.

Maleficent however stayed silent as she kept her back away from Mal a serious look on her face as she worked on a potion of sorts before turning around with the bubbling liquid in a vial and stalked towards Mal "you are going to drink this and then I will know all that I need to know as to who you are and just how you knew of my plans" she sneered.

Mal backed away gasping as her back hit the wall and she bit her lip "Look..Maleficent I know your upset but lets not do anything crazy, I can help you! I really can…" she exclaimed once Maleficent had walked into the cell and was almost towering over her, sighing in relif when Maleficent put the vial down slightly.

"Just how can you help me when I don't even know who you are child?" Maleficent said coldly as she gripped her staff and swiped her robe to the side causing a minion to fall onto their backs.

"I can..what if I helped you get what you want from the royal family?" Mal said with wide eyes, biting her lip as she knew this was a bad idea and a sinking feeling filled her stomach. "I can..help you by..cursing Aurora myself" she said.

Maleficent narrowed her eyes studying Mal once again carefully before pressing her staff down on the minion who was trying to get up "if I agree for you to help me…and you turn out to be lying to me in anyway, well.." she chuckled before pressing her staff down on the minion causing it to squeal and wreeth in pain "I'd hate to be in your shoes." she growled before looking at the minion and pressing her staff all the way through her minion silencing its screams of pain. "I know how to make things look…accidental"

Mal gasped and flinched slightly at what she witnessed before nodding "Yes..yes I understand…and I will help you no tricks" she said as her eyes stayed locked on Maleficent having had not realized how evil her mother had once been. The purple haired teen stayed frozen to the wall until Maleficent left the room where she slid down and hugged her knees. "How the hell am I getting out of this one…" she muttered to herself.
