Phillip stared down at the black puddle that had once been Maleficent. His trusty sword of truth shone silver, then dimmed as the morning sun rose. Phillip heard a horses snort, then felt a nudge in the small of his back.
"Hey Samson." Phillip patted Samson's White nose. The poor horse was covered in scratches from the thorns they had battled through."You defiantly deserve oats and Carrots after this. Now come on, we have a sleeping beauty to save." He leaned against Samson and together they limped into the castle grounds.
Phillip looked around shocked. Every single person was asleep. However, his princess was in the highest tower. "First thing I'm doing after this." Phillip whispered. "Is getting her a room on the first floor. He began to slowly make it up the stairs. He was so weak, but continued only for his love.
When he reached her, he watched her breathe for a few breaths. Her flaxen gold hair spread about her, and her lips shamed the rose she held I her tiny, ivory hands. He lowered his lips to hers, and gently kissed her. As he pulled away, he saw her violet eyes flutter open, then a smile cross her lips.
"You" She whispered, touching his cheek.
"Me" He replied, resting his own hand against hers. Aurora smiled again, and wrapped her arms around him. He flinched in pain and she pulled away. "You are hurt!" She exclaimed as she examined his left shoulder. From his collarbone to his elbow a massive burn rippled against his skin. "Take off your shirt." She said quickly as she dug into a drawer. He obeyed her and sat down on the edge of her bed. Upon seeing him shirtless she blushed brightly, but sat close to him. "This may sting." She said as she spread a cream over his burns. "Nothing can hurt as bad as getting the burn." He winced. A few minutes passed in silence as she continued to treat the burn. When she finally had the wound bandaged, she spoke. "You know you never told me your name..." "Phillip." He said softly. "Prince Phillip."
Aurora looked up shocked and dropped the cream. "P-Prince?!" "Are you okay my love?" Philip asked concerned, holding her hand. "You..You're my betrothed!" Tears of joy sparkled in her eyes, and he held her close. "Never in my wildest dreams-"
"I know" Phillip said softly as he kissed his true love. Aurora leaned in, and wrapped her hands around the back of his neck. She ran her fingers though the hair at the base of his neck, and he shivered. Just then, he heard a throat being cleared.
"Pardon me." Merryweather said. "But it is time for Aurora to meet her parents." Phillip nodded and went to follow Aurora. "Oh no, dear. " Merryweather said. "You can't go looking like that. " "What's wrong with me?" He asked confused. "Well for one you don't have a shirt, and two your clothes are all burnt and ripped." Aurora looked up at him and into his chocolate brown eyes. "I think he looks wonderful." Merryweather chuckled and waved her wand, turning Aurora's dress blue and causing an outfit fit for a prince to cloth Phillip. He smiled and offered Aurora his arm. She smiled and took it together they descended the stairs, never talking their eyes off eachother.
together they headed into their happily ever after.
The End
