Sleepin' Beauty

The Prologue:

Our fairy tale starts with our dear prince William. Riding one day through the forest that was his fathers, and his fathers before him, and he wondered at all inside of it. All of which was owned by his family. Upon his travels he happened upon a young peasant girl. Undeniably attractive was she, and drunk upon his own power the young prince whose age was 18 was immediately struck by what she was doing.

"Girl," he spoke, "what do you think you're doing in the king's forest, mine by birthright. It is illegal for anyone to forage what does belong only to my great father."

"Pardon prince, for I did not see you. My family starves since my father has passed and I thought perhaps your great family would not begrudge me but a few berries." She said with her head bowed.

"You have thought wrong." The prince answered and a sly idea grew within. "Do you know the punishment for theft of the king's property?"

"Oh please sir, no disrespect intended, please sir!" She pleaded, falling to her knees.

"I might be persuaded to forgive you girl, and what is your name?" The prince asked eyeing her young blossoming body eagerly, just as well her head as down so as to miss his leering.

"My name is Maleficent but my mothers at home, she doesn't know I was out here picking sir, but we can repay you im sure, were we just to town an-"

"We have no need of town, would you cast your punishment for wrongdoings upon your family? What honor is this?" She wrung her hands and bowed her head even lower.

"It falls only to me, begging your mercy." She stated. Dismounting his horse the prince walked over to stand above her. "Look at me." And as she straightened and looked up he said "Yes, this will do."
