Up in the cottage, Aurora woke up early ready for the challenges ahead. She grabbed a royal blue coat, ankle to neck length, and slipped some ballet फ्लैटों, फ्लैट्स, फ्लैट on. She flipped through पुस्तकें upon पुस्तकें containing maps and stuffed them into a concealed basket. Then a small crimpled painting of Fauna edged with burns of fire, "just in case I happen to run into anyone." Aurora disengaged her lips realizing the sound of her voice could awaken Flora. Obviously as आप could have told, Aurora was settling of to venture and find Fauna, possibly Merryweather. She gripped tightly to the basket. Walking towards the door laying her hand on the doorknob, she paused and and reconized the sound Flora baking in the kitchen. Aurora cringed, "please don't hear, please don't hear."
Wooden spoon down, Flora lowered her brows opinion determination, inhaled, put a smile on and turned towards Aurora, "Are आप going somewhere, dearie?"
Aurora paused and removed her hand from the doorknob "Flora, I was...I mean, would आप like me to go into the forest and pick आप some berries?" With a fake positive tune on Aurora smiled.
"Oh, that would be delightful! Thank you, Aurora! Would आप like me to pack आप some खाना and water for the way?" Flora reached into a wooden basket, "Silly me, I've already packed for you. I had a funny feeling आप were up to good deeds," she passed द्वारा a larger then the average vial with a cork barged in tightly in the rim. Aurora packed the vial into the basket, "Afterwards I think I'll head home." Flora frowned, "It was nice seeing आप again dearie."
"I'm coming back to give आप the berries," Aurora waved good-bye and made her way out to the open. As soon as the cottage was out of sight, she started to pay attention to every creak of sound and every flash of color.

"Maleficent, wake up! Tell me do आप have to girl?" Lady Tremaine bursted through the door, snapping her fingers. Flora vanished into a green light that swirled back into Maleficent, "I thought आप had the girl!"
Tremaine rolled her eyes, "Please, the important thing is we get the..." She lowered her voice, "you know what."
"Yes, but how?"
"Oh please! I'm surrounded द्वारा idiots, आप and your crow."
Maleficent lowered a brow and raised another, "do आप want to play with me? Last time I checked I was ten times as powerful as you, now do not call me an idiot ever again या आप can say goodbye to the magic I granted you."
Lady Tremaine opened her mouth to say something, though to frightened nothing came out.
"Here," Maleficent handed an Arabic key to Tremaine just like the one Belle, correction Chip, found covered in gold, "Don't lose this, there is a set of three. It's nearly impossible to find. आप have the boy and the old woman, yes?"
"Yes, what do आप need me to do?"

Aurora heard a twig crack behind her back, "Hello? Is anyone here?"
"Aurora, dear?"
Aurora couldn't make out the voice, an old dreary voice, never to have been heard before द्वारा anyone in the castle, "Excuse me, have we met before?"
The old woman came closer out of the fog she was a wreck, unstable walking, scars upon her face, hunch back and a basket with hardly any food, "Why yes, don't आप remember me?"
"Oh no, I'm sorry. But that doesn't matter, are आप hurt या hungry?" Aurora rested her arm over the Old Woman's back and helped her re-gain balance.
"Oh no, thank you, you're very kind. Would आप like an apple?"
"Thank you, but I've already packed food, आप can take whatever you'd like."
"No please, take an apple, my apples are special." The old woman dug around her basket, arm peaked under lid, out came a blood red apple, "you see, my apples are special, they can grant आप wishes with just one bite."
Aurora picked the सेब up without thinking twice, "just one bite? Oh but, आप can't with out letting me give आप anything, आप look very thirsty." She reached into the basket and reached out the large vial, "here."
The old woman grabbed the vial and dripped the liquid onto a flower, watching it burn, "But Maleficent knew I was having it taken care of." She mumbled uncontrollably not letting Aurora hear a sound nor she let her see the flower, "Make a wish..."
Aurora held the सेब close to her lips and closed her eyes tightly, और than anything she wanted her loved ones back. With a loud crunch, she bit into the apple.

With Aurora leaning on her back, the old hag threw her into the cottage, "Ladies, I have her now. I fed her the apple."
Maleficent narrowed her eyes down on the Old Hag, "your task was simply to bring her to the abandoned east tower, am I wrong?"
The Old Hag looked confused, she opened her mouth to speak but Maleficent hushed her, "I know, I know, did आप forget? That's fine, people make mistakes. When she wakes up she'll follow द्वारा our plan."
"I'm sorry, I'll try better अगला time-"
"Don't worry आप won't forget again."
"You're taking this really well..."
"You'll NEVER forget anything again!" With a wave of her hands a near द्वारा mirror shattered, lay there all the pieces. She charged them towards the old hag cutting into her throat and muscles, "that was just Devine, I haven't killed anyone in ages," she laid her hands on her back and stretched. "What about the girl?!" Tremaine snapped.
"Didn't आप hear? When she wakes up she'll follow our plan..."
