Your dragon

Chapter Two - Introductions

You gulped slight as you held an awkward eye contact with the woman before you. Herr judgemental gaze was haunting and it was clear she was picking you apart. Piece by piece and inch by inch. It was as if she was unsure what to think if you. It made you feel small and meaningless. Like a small mouse. You had so many questions and were unsure how to approach them. Awkwardly, you scratched your wrist and forced a terrified smile. "Are... you thirst? Maybe hungry?" You tried to think of something to offer her that may break the tension between you. The fairy's golden eyes narrowed at you, only backing up her clear distrust in you. At the silence, you shrunk slightly as you were unsure on what to do with yourself. How should you react? You had a Disney character in your house? Realistically, you should call the police but surely they'd call you a nutcase.

When she spoke your thoughts stopped along with your heart. Her voice was raspy. Obviously from just being woken. The horned woman's grip was tight on her chest as she sneered. "Water." She managed out. "Quickly, girl." The last part came out like a hiss. Jumping, you quickly urged your body to the kitchen. You didn't want to anger the woman who is said to be of pure evil. As you arrived in the kitchen, Diablo greeted you with a pleased caw. His eyes held a pride as he puffed out his chest at you. You noticed the fruit had been eaten and smiled slightly.

Canela sniffed your hand and gifted you with a gentle lick of reassurance. Sighing, you patted your pup on the head and glance to the raven. "Well, pretty bird, it appears your Mistress is awake..." that felt weird to say. Never in your wildest dreams had such a thing happened. In a flash, the raven raced out of the kitchen at your words. You stared wide eyed. Did he fully understand you? You blinked in shock until Canela whined. You pet her then got a glass of water for your uninvited guest. Canela stayed close to your legs, looking up at you as you made your way to the drawing room. You halted when you heard her voice. You didn't mean to peak... well, that's a lie. You did. But only out of curiosity!

Inside, Maleficent was cooing to Diablo. The mistress of Evil seemed so soft in the moment but then again, in Sleeping Beauty, she was always had a soft spot for her raven companion. "Oh my dearest pet...." She frowned as she stroked his clean shining black feathers. You felt bad for peaking at what seemed to be a vulnerable moment and cleared your throat to reveal your appearance. Golden eyes glared up at you. They were stone hard and narrowed. Her Ruby red lips were a thin line as she looked at you. Sharply switching her gaze to the glass then back to you, she tilted her head. "Well, are you just going to stand and stare or are you going to make yourself useful and hand me the glass?" She hissed harshly. You held your tongue at her remark and handed her the water before backing away. Determined to keep a distance between you. However this did not stop Canela's protective nature as she growled at the sight of the horned woman. Diablo hissed and spread his wings. Also protective of his Mistress. Maleficent hesitantly sniffed the water making your eyes furrow in confusion what was she doing? Seeming satisfied with... whatever her nose told her, she took a sip as she kept her eyes on you. "Well, mortal girl.... where is my host? Your master?" Her question confused you until you laughed. Her body tensed and her nails dug into the side of the sofa. You forced yourself to calm down and gave a nervous smile at the horned woman's silence. "I don't see what you find so comedic about a simple question. Are you so deranged that you cannot process a single question?" She hissed and you went slightly pale.

"Sorry... I just..." Your heart was racing like a herd of horses. "It's just a little funny that you think imna servant when I own the place." You frowned, slightly embarrassed as you gestured around. You beham to feel slighrly guilty in the utter pit of your stomach about laughing at her question. It was a bit rude of you, wasnt it? The dark fairy's eyes widened slightly when you said you owned the place. She looked you up and down and smirked as she thought to herself. As the wheels turned in her head she stroked Diablo's soft feathers..You felt very judged under her gaze and decided to change the subject somewhat. "Do you remember how you got here?" You asked innocently enough.
