Hi all! I just wanted to say this is my first fanfic ever. So I would be greatly thankful to anyone willing to help me out with my grammar, plotlines and just reviews in general. Please be nice, and remember you can always send me a message! Hope you enjoy this :).

''Godmother, might I ask you something?'' Aurora looked at Maleficent. ''Of course, beastie, tell me what's on your mind.''

''How on earth am I going to do this. Three days ago I didn't even know I was a princess, and now I'm queen of not only the Human Kingdom but also the Moors. I don't even know anyth-''

Maleficent gave her a stern look just when she was about to rant hysterically and she knew her faery godmother had already made up a plan at that moment. ''Aurora, you are nothing like your father. Yes, in a way you might be, as you have both worked yourselves into my heart without any trouble, but you're not greedy. You're not arrogant, you don't want your subjects to live in pain so you can bathe in wealth. You're going to be so much more than just a queen, dear beastie. You will make your subjects fall in love with you the moment you step out on that balcony and yes, you'll make mistakes, but I will be there every step of the way, so you're never going to do this on your own.''

The faery's answer seemed to calm the young girl down, as she sat down at the tree and took a bite from the apple she had plucked from it. ''I just don't want to waste my life with all these responsibilities. I'm not ready yet and I doubt I'll ever be. Do you really think this task will come easy on me, Godmother?''

''Aurora, you are the only hope we've got at uniting the two kingdoms. I don't want to lay this burden on you but I can't lie to you either. It's going to be tough, yes, but nothing's too tough for a girl that survives a curse by making the one who cast the curse over her fall in love with her.''

''Thank you for being honest with me Godmother.'' Aurora said with a small smile lingering on her lips. Maleficent returned the smile and toghether they sat there for a while, just relaxing and enjoying the view. When evening came Aurora realised she didn't have to go back to the cottage she was brought up in, but she didn't dare ask Maleficent if she could spend the night at the Moors.

''Beastie?''
''Yes, Godmother?''
''It's getting late and you've had an awful long day, and to be honest I could do with some sleep as well. How about we retreat to my Rowan tree and we get a good nights sleep?''
Aurora looked at her faery Godmother, wondering if she could read her mind or if she just brought it up at the same time she thought about it on coincidence. She decided to go with the latter, because it would be quite disturbing if the taller woman had read her mind in the past. She would not just let her in on the secret she had been hiding since the first time she saw her Godmother.

When they finally reached the Rowan tree Aurora realised there were no blankets in the Moors, because all the creatures in it were adapted to life in all the weatherconditions it had to offer. She didn't want to ask for one either, thinking it would spoil the magic of sleeping in the magical kingdom for the very first time, so she just followed Maleficent in every move without saying a word. When Maleficent lay down in the soft bed of leaves she invited Aurora to come lay next to her, and who was she to decline? ''I know you humans don't have a way to keep yourselves warm at night, and since we have none of your blanket-nonsense here in the Moors I'll let you sleep under my wings. But not a word about this to anyone, especially not to Diaval, got it?''

Aurora softly hummed her acceptence of the deal while she crawled next to the faery, and before the older woman could even say 'goodnight' the blonde princess was already in a dreamworld far away from the reality that had hit her so hard that day. ''This time, you don't have to wake up just yet, little beastie.'' Said Maleficent as she planted her lips to the girl's forehead the second time that day.

That night Aurora dreamt the same dream she always had, but this time it was much more vivid. She walked through the forest, as she always did, searching for something she couldn't recall. She only knew she was missing something and that it had to be close. ''Are you lost?'' The boys question didn't even startle her anymore, since she was so used to his voice. ''No, but I have lost something. I can't quite recall what it was, but I know I've lost it and I have to find it.'' The boy looked at her, probably wondering whether she was sane. ''Alright, what do you know of this lost item?'' He asked her. Aurora looked at him when she realised she really didn't know anything on the subject that was missing, and her apologetic look made the boy shake his head and turn around, ready to walk away. ''No! Please don't go, I feel you can help me, I don't know how yet but I know you can. Please, stay.'' However, it was too late, as the boy had already vanished along with her screams.

''Aurora!'' Finally she opened her eyes. ''Will you never scare me like that again, you blue-eyed monster?'' Maleficent asked with a faint smile on her lips. ''I'm sorry Godmother, It was just a bad dream.'' She crawled closer to the woman laying beside her, hoping the safety she had to offer would make her shiver less obviously. ''What did you dream, beastie?'' The faery demanded rather than asked.

''I dreamt I was looking for something in the woods, when a boy came along who I just knew could help me find it.'' Her Godmother looked at her, and she could not make out what she was thinking. ''This boy, did he have a name?'' Aurora shook her head to indicate he didn't. ''As far as I know he doesn't, but I could try to ask it next time I dream of this?'' At that Maleficent raised an eyebrow. ''You mean to tell me you have this same dream often?'' ''Yes, quite often actually, why Godmother?'' But Maleficent never gave her an answer to that.
