“Frankly, dear, you care too much and I don’t care at all. So save your little speeches, hm?” Maleficent rolled her eyes. She’d entertained this long enough. She was not going to be made feel guilty by a princess who would wander off into a happily ever after blissfully unaware of the blood that ran through her family tree. “You’re a princess. You’ll have to cry a little harder if you want me to even think about caring about what you have to say.”
There really wasn’t anything she wanted but she supposed she could gain something from this. The whole thing was tedious now and she knew she’d get no rest until the prince was awake. She was eventually going to lift the curse but if Aurora wanted to sacrifice something then fine. “You are a pure soul, I’ll grant you that compliment…but it’s the only thing worth my while. A piece of it will give me something of value and I’ll wake your darling prince. You’ll lose years of your life, of course, but that’s the deal.” Maleficent sighed as she looked at her. “So quick to dismiss the pain of others. As if a wound so great could be healed with words and sentiments. Keep them I don’t want them. Mistakes are small things. What your father did was calculated, cold, and disastrous and try as you might to push it away, it will haunt you and your family for generations to come. That kind of debt will not be paid so easily.”
WHILE AURORA HAD NO DOUBT of how little maleficent cared for her , her loved ones or the rest of elias , she couldn't believe there was nothing in the world the fairy cared for . she couldn't accept it . it must be a terrible way to live and , in a way , it made her pity the other . not that she'd mention it , but still .
she takes the compliment as more of a solution than anything else , unable to appreciate it at a moment like this . whatever it was that a having pure soul meant , it seemed important enough to bring philip back and in aurora's eyes , that was the most important thing . bring him back and have maleficent out of their lives . the princess would happily part with it , not really stopping to think about what it might mean — what's a few years anyway ? ❛ and you'll leave us alone ? at least his family . ❜ it didn't sound too bad , it couldn't be worse than the life she was living .
❛ i didn't mean to sound- ❜ she trails off , understanding that there was no point in trying to reason with the mistress of evil . she didn't want to be understood , nor would she let aurora try . but the princess knew there was only honesty in maleficent's story ; she wasn't lying when she spoke about her father . she also didn't seem hesitant when talking about generations to come , which terrified her . ❛ still , i apologize , and i'll keep trying to fix it . ❜ she had to . the princess looked down at her toes for a moment , then at maleficent once again . ❛ a piece , is it ? ❜ aurora took deep breath , then nodded agreeingly . ❛ take it . it's yours . ❜
