Dark Times -2 season

Little Monster

21 years ago

The isolated island in the middle of the ocean no longer imprisons only the worst villains on earth, but little feet as young as three are also beginning to wander the streets. Many of them were born almost in the same year, the daughters of Maleficent and Ursula being a case in point.

In the enormous castle of one of them, a beautiful three-year-old girl runs around tirelessly.

"Mal! Mal!" The child's mother wishes there was some way to turn off the energy of the little girl, who won't stop running for a minute, even if her mother has a headache from watching her animation. If she could decide between having a child or ending someone's world, she chooses to kill someone, absolutely. "Mal." The child looks at her but quickly runs off again.

"Hi mommy."

She ran around the room and up to her mother, jumping on her.

" Stop!" When she felt the little girl jump into her lap, she was startled and threw her away. "What did we agree on? No hugging, because..."

"We're evil."

The little person repeats, making a funny face.

" Oh, that's right."

Even though she's against it, Maleficent hugs her.

"Maleficent?"

Someone calls at the door, and as soon as she puts Mal down, she goes to the entrance, but she doesn't have to walk far, her visitor is already inside the house. It's Yen Sid, who turns up from time to time and, like a rude man, doesn't knock on the door or wait to be invited in.

"Hi, old stranger."

"Am I the stranger?" Even though it's not his job, Yen Sid worries about some of the villains' kids. "How are you, you horrid thing? Little Mal!" He smiles when he sees the girl, who also seems happy to see him.

"Yest Sai!" She says his name wrong and walks towards him with open arms, but Mal stops in the middle of the path. "Hugs are wrong."

"Who tells you that?"

"Mommy."

For a brief moment, Maleficent felt proud, and it was even possible to see a small smile on her face.

"Really, Maleficent?"

"What? It's my daughter, and I'll teach her whatever I want."

"Look Mal." He lowers himself to her height. "If you ever become a mother, don't be like the hideous thing here."

The girl laughs, although she doesn't even understand what he's saying, and for a long time she seriously thought she never would.

"He won't give us the answers, Rashid."

Helena says this to the wizard's disappointment. The book won't be of any help to them.

"No?"

"No, it could give us some previews of what's going on, but I don't think we could even touch it."

Nanny says it quietly and thoughtfully.

"Well, we didn't come to talk about the book, did we?" Helena tells them, moving on to the subject that brought her to the Enchanted Forest in the first place. "We're here to talk about Mal and this baby she's expecting. As far as we know, he's a danger to us. What are we going to do?"
