That scene.



That specific scene kept invading her head that night, to a point in which Regina couldn't even sleep. There had been something of amazingly beautiful that day in the way Maleficent bounced back, in the way that tree recovered it's flame that Regina couldn't quite shake. Against all odds, the young Brunette was able to see through the female dragon and she knew that she had been partially responsible for what happened that day, making her extremely proud of that fact. At the same time, it made her restless.



She needed to see her again.



Seeing herself at the Dragon's domain once more, Regina was once again there with no previous warning. Wondering through the gigantic halls, she tried to be quiet and at the same time attentive. It was late at night and she thought to herself that she might as well be crazy to attempt such a bold move.



Hearing a noise, she quickly looked back, seeing nobody. She sighed and pushed herself forward, wondering where Maleficent might be.


Maleficent

Ever since she had met Regina the Dragoness had felt something stir. Something in her heart. Could she actually allow herself to feel something? After all the years of pain. And all those years of nothing thanks to her sleeping curse concoction. She wanted to shake those feelings, to forget about them since she was sure that Regina would never come back to her. Maleficent was sure that the beautiful young Queen wouldn't spare her a second thought.

But she had seen the deep, underlying pain in the girls eyes as they spoke. ReginaI got have thought she had hidden it. But Dragon's have a knack for sensing emotions. Especially Maleficent, being Queen of Dragons and Mistress of Evil? Well, one could perhaps call her an empath.

Tonight she had just got back from stretching her wings. The blonde had just transformed back into the beautiful sorceress that she resided as.

Her attention was piqued when she felt that familiar, faint magical aura. "Regina." Would she be able to hold back her feelings around the young woman? She hoped so. The blonde wasn't sure if she was ready to feel yet.

She took long strides, her beautifully crafted, yet more casual black gown trailing behind her as she headed to where she had felt Regina's magic come from.

Her helmet came off as she walked, her fingers curling slightly as she sent it to her chambers with her magic. Which meant those long blonde curls were free to tumble down over her shoulders. Her hair looked so much better that it did the last time they met, it was smooth and glossy, her golden hair practically lit up her features. If it wasn't for the black? You might have thought she was one of those dumb fairies.

"Regina, what are you doing here? And at this time of night? You could have gotten yourself killed!" She scolded once she finally set eyes on the person her heart had begun to desire most.

Just as a shadow making no sound, Maleficent's voice was heard which made Regina turn around abruptly, only easing up when finally taking in the fact that it was indeed the female dragon standing there and not somebody else. "You startled me." Regina huffed, her voice however showing some relief. Eyes falling on the other, she could swear that her heart skipped a beat. Maleficent had such a majestic posture that it was almost as if her presence filled the void from those almost abandoned halls. "I'm sorry." She whispered, her eyes falling to the ground for a moment. Regina was so soft back then, so innocent, that it was weird to just imagine that soon she would become one of the most feared individuals in the Enchanted forest...The most feared actually...

... The Evil Queen.

"I know it's dangerous... but I wanted to check up on you." She continued, eyes raising up again and locking Mal's. And damn how those eyes were hypnotizing back then. "And I figured you might enjoy some company. After all I'm pretty sure it get's kind of lonely in this castle, no?" Smiling softly, she just hoped that the other wouldn't send her away... at least not straight away.
