Diaval X Reader (Maleficent)

Chapter Five

(A/n- the song I used is 'They Say It's Wonderful', because I needed a song for you to sing. I tweaked the lyrics a little. I don't own the song btw.) 

~A Month Later~

When you wake up from a peaceful sleep, Diaval is gone, and he isn't on the the windowsill either. He was right beside you last night, but he must have left. Frowning, you get up and complete your normal morning routine. 

"Good morning Y/n!" Flittle greets as she walks in. 

"Good morning auntie!" You reply, smiling. Your other adopted aunts greet you with smiles as well. Aurora greets you too, before giggling and walking out.

"Where are you going?!" You call after her, chasing her out of the cottage.

She shrugs, grinning wildly, "Just for a stroll."

"A stroll, hmm? Then you won't mind me coming along?" You ask with raised eyebrows.

Her face goes blank for a moment as she tries to decide how to respond. 

"No, I don't mind," She replies eventually, and you glance at her with suspicion. 

She just smiles sweetly at you, and you sigh in defeat and walk with her. You walk down a familiar path, because you've been through every inch of this place.

"So, have you seen Fairy Godmother recently?" She asks.

Shaking your head you reply, "No, I haven't. Have you?"

"Yes, I saw her the other day. She introduced me to her friend." 

"Her friend?" You question, puzzled.

She smiles brightly, "Yes, Pretty Bird!"

You frown, "Who??? Oh- you mean Diaval?" 

"Yes, that's what he calls himself. How did you know?" 

"Well, I've met him before. Ma-Fairy Godmother introduced us when I was fifteen." 

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You weren't old enough then, but you are now."

You continue chatting with her for a long while before you decide it's time to go back home.

"Aurora, we've been out forever! We should go back now."

"No, I have to show you something first!!!" She grabs my arm and drags me to the wall of thorns.

"Why are we here?" You ask curiously. 

"Follow me," she whispers, dragging you through a narrow gap in the wall.

When you arrive on the Moor side of the thorns, she tells you to close your eyes.

"Why?" 

"Please, just do it." She begs, and you comply, screwing your eyes shut.

She leads you somewhere, and you follow, trying to not trip over the sometimes uneven ground. You can smell the scent of fresh flowers, and hear the sound of a distant stream. She brings you over to a spot and positions you a certain way. It takes all your self-control to not peek from between your lashes, but you manage to not look. 

"What's happening?" You ask, a chuckle on your lips.

At no answer, you open your eyes. 

You stand in a dark part of the forest, a place you've never been before. The scenery is nothing scary, but the apparent absence of light is unnerving, and reminds you of Aurora's christening. Eerie sounds float across the small clearing, making you hold your breath.
