Maleficent Page #2

It's a...

It's a demon!

What have you done

to my beautiful self?

Would you

rather I let them beat you to death?

I'm not certain.

Stop complaining.

I saved your life.

Forgive me.

What do I call you?

Diaval.

And in return for saving my life,

I am your servant.

Whatever you need.

Wings.

I need you to be my wings.

I present to you the first of his line,

His Royal Highness King Stefan.

He did this to me so he would be king.

Now what, Mistress?

Her wings!

It's a girl!

It's a girl! It's a girl!

Well?

Well, I saw nothing.

But there's been a...

What?

Child.

King Stefan and the Queen

have had a child.

There will be a christening.

They say it's to be a grand celebration.

A grand celebration for a baby.

How wonderful.

All manner of folk

came to the christening,

even a trio of fairies who sought

to foster peace and goodwill.

Look, there's the baby!

I love babies!

Can you just concentrate, please?

I'm not telling you again.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

I am Knotgrass

of the Moorland Fair Folk.

I'm Flittle, Your Kingship.

And I'm Thistlewit, Your Royalnesses.

They bring gifts for our daughter.

These are not just any old gifts,

for, you see, we're magic!

And very good with children.

Very well.

Sweet Aurora, I wish for you

the gift of beauty.

My wish is that you will never be blue,

only happy, all the days of your life.

Sweet baby,

my wish for you is that you find...

- Maleficent!

- Maleficent!

Well, well.

What a glittering assemblage,

King Stefan.

Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and...

How quaint.

Even the rabble.

I must say

I really felt quite distressed

at not receiving an invitation.

You're not welcome here.

Oh, dear.

What an awkward situation.

You're not offended?

Why, no.

And to show I bear no ill will,

I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child.

No! We don't want your gift!

Stay away from the princess!

Yes, stay away!

Listen well, all of you.

Listen well, all of you.

The princess shall indeed

grow in grace and beauty,

beloved by all who meet her.

That's a lovely gift.

Don't do this.

But

before the sun sets

on her 16th birthday,

she will prick her finger

on the spindle of a spinning wheel

and fall into a sleep like death,

a sleep from which

she will never awaken.

Maleficent, please don't do this,

I'm begging you.

I like you begging.

Do it again.

I beg you.

All right.

The princess can be woken

from her death sleep,

but only by

true love's kiss.

This curse will last till the end of time!

No power on Earth can change it.

King Stefan ordered his men

to seize every spinning wheel

in the kingdom.

The wheels were broken and burned,

that they might never be used,
