New Recruit Ch.11

Those words. They sounded so real. So...true. I laced my fingers with Maleficent's. I opened my eyes and looked in to hers. She had a warm and caring smiling on her face. "Would you like some help sitting up?"

I could feel a blush creeping on to my face. "I guess..."

She let go of my hand. My heart sank a little when she did so.  She wrapped her arm around the back of my waist and sat me up. "There." She slowly removed her arm and fluffed the pillows behind me.

I looked quizzically at her. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why am I here?"

Maleficent sneered. "I would expect you to know THAT answer by now."

I crossed my arms. "I mean why am I here with YOU?"

Maleficent chuckled lightly and sat gracefully next to me on her dark purple bed. "I thought you would be ecstatic seeing as I am your favorite."

My heart started to race. 'Oh crap...She did hear...Fudge, Fudge, FUDGE. Just play it cool. DON'T show any signs. Pretend...pretend you were...on a sugar high! Yeah! That's it! I was just hyper and making up crap! Yep. She will TOTALLY buy that. Idiot...'

"Kelsea?"

My thoughts were interrupted. I forced a laugh. "I don't know who your sources are but you are most definitely incorrect."

Maleficent raised an eyebrow. "Oh? If I am correct, for Halloween you went as myself, you asked a couple of deviantart artists to draw us together which one of them was us under the mistletoe, AND you have my calendar picture right above your bed."

'Yeah...This one is gonna be hard to cover up...'  "Um, well. That means nothing."

I glanced up at her and saw a twinkle in her eyes. An evil smirk crept on to her smooth pale green face. "So then if I did this." She put her hand on my left upper thigh. "Then you would feel nothing?" I shook my head as my heart raced a little more. Her smirk turned into a smile. "Then what about this?" She took her other hand and cupped my chin. She turned my head so it faced her and leaned in towards me. The tip of my nose touched hers and our lips were just barely brushing. My eyes were wide and my heart felt as if it would come rocketing out of my chest. "Don't lie to me Kelsea. I know how you feel about me." She kissed my lips lightly causing me to feel a little light headed.

An annoyingly loud bang on the door made us both jump. Maleficent sighed and got up from the bed. "I have an unwelcoming feeling it is your pain-in-the-ass arabic lover."

I snorted at her comment. Maleficent walked to her door and looked through her peep hole. She groaned with distaste. "It's him."

My face dropped. "Yay." I said sarcastically.

"I will take this out in the hallway. I don't think you would want to see us bicker and such."  Before I could share my thoughts she gracefully and quickly went out the door. She quietly closed it behind her.

I sighed. I attempted to move my legs to see if they were still numb. They passed the test of being able to move so I put my legs over the side of the bed. I stood up and stretched my arms out. I walked quietly to the door and put my ear up to the door.

Maleficent quietly left the room. Jafar stood in front of her, glaring his brown eyes at her.

"I thought I made it perfectly clear in my letter that you were not to be near her." She hissed.

Jafar sneered. "This is absolutely ridiculous Maleficent. She belongs with-"

Maleficent narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists. "DON'T you even say it. She belongs with who she pleases. She may be a hero but she has just as much right to love who she wants as we do. She at least respects our love lives and doesn't interfere with them so she should deserve the same."
Jafar took in a sharp breathe to help not explode in anger. "I see. Well I feel differently. I will try in all my power to get her. If you think this will make think differently well you are mistaken. This will only delay it. You can't stop me."

Maleficent was about to say something when she heard a loud crashing noise in her room. It sounded like glass. She hurriedly opened the door and scanned the room for Kelsea.

Jafar peered over her shoulder. Maleficent saw a few pieces of shattered glass by her bed. She walked over to the right side of her bed and gasped. She saw Kelsea on the floor covered in shattered glass. She was knocked out cold and her skin was as white as the snow falling outside. She kneeled down next to Kelsea and slowly turned her head towards the confused Jafar standing in the doorway. Her eyes blazed with anger and hurt. "I swear, if this is a trick of yours, you WILL pay." Jafar took a step back and hurriedly disappeared. Maleficent used her magic to close and lock the door. She picked Kelsea up gently and laid her on the couch. "Don't worry dear, I am here for you. I'll protect you." She kissed her forehead gently and began to use the healing magic she knew to remove the shards of glass and the scars left from them.
