Maleficent Page #4

Synopsis: A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces a battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

Curious little beasty.

But she was not the only one

who wished to get through.

Look.

- Is that her? Is that Maleficent?

- I don't know.

Bring them to me.

No, it's just a silly peasant girl.

Steady.

- It's her!

- It's her!

How could you do that to me?

You said anything I need.

Yeah, but not a dog.

It was a wolf, not a dog.

It's the same thing.

They're dirty, vicious,

and they hunt birds.

Fine. Next time I'll turn you

into a mealy worm.

Well, I'll be a mealy worm, gladly.

Anything but a filthy, stinking...

I wonder.

I know you're there.

Don't be afraid.

I am not afraid.

Then come out.

Then you'll be afraid.

No, I won't.

I know who you are.

Do you?

You're my Fairy Godmother.

What?

Fairy Godmother.

You've been watching over me

my whole life.

I've always known you were close by.

How?

Your shadow. It's been following me

ever since I was small.

Wherever I went,

your shadow was always with me.

I remember you.

Pretty bird.

This is Diaval.

Hello, Aurora.

I have known you

since you were a little one.

It's everything I imagined it would be.

It's just so beautiful!

I've always wanted to come...

Good night, beasty.

You mock me.

I know what you're doing.

I know exactly what you're doing.

Sire?

Your presence has been

requested by the Queen.

Leave me.

Sire, she is not well.

The nurses are fearful

that she won't make it through the night.

Can you not see

we're having a conversation?

When the curse fails,

Maleficent will come for me.

And on that day, I will be ready.

They're so beautiful.

I revoke the curse.

Let it be no more.

I revoke the curse.

Let it be no more.

I revoke my curse!

Let it be no more!

I revoke my curse!

Let it be no more!

Let it be no more!

This curse will last till the end of time.

No power on Earth can change it.

Do all the Fair People have wings?

Most do.

Then why don't you?

All the other fairies fly.

I had wings once.

They were stolen from me.

That's all I wish to say about it.

What color were they?

Were they big?

So big

they dragged behind me when I walked.

And they were strong.

They could carry me above the clouds

and into the headwinds.

And they never faltered, not even once.

I could trust them.

She's coming. She's coming.

Where are your workers?

In their beds, Majesty.

Get them back to work without delay.

They're exhausted, sire.

But I'll have them

back to work at first light.

I need them back to work now.

It's the wee hours.

Aye.

Aye.

It is the wee hours.

So wake them up.

Sire?

So wake them up,

and get them back to work now!

We're running out of time! Go, now!

Aurora?

Come here.

Sit.

There's something I need to tell you.
