I know you...

Maleficent had often talked to herself while she roamed the caves beneath Storybrooke, trying to figure out a way out of them. However, it was a mystery of whether or not she'd survive outside of their walls. She was kept alive by Regina's magic, no matter how many times she had died. Honestly, it was a fate worse than death. Regina and Maleficent had been friends, but they were both quite cruel to each other. This was a new level of evil, though.. With this, she was left with nothing but her thoughts. Not even her beloved pet unicorn was there with her. She was merely an empty shell, forced to relive every amount of pain she had ever gone through as a form of entertainment. 

"I will get out of here one day..." she muttered to herself as she lied on the ground. "And no one will have their happy ending."  She was speaking to herself once more. No one else was there to listen..and what else was she going to do? "However, there's someone I must find first and foremost..."  Blue. The fairy who broke her heart, who took her love away from her, and made him fall for someone else. She couldn't stand that woman.. her high and mighty attitude were just a cover for how devious she really was. 

Maleficent  missed what the air outside felt like. She missed her abilities, which were limited thanks to Regina's spell. She missed her pet.. the only thing that she cared about in the world.  The only thing that  Regina knew would hurt her. "One day you'll all pay..."

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE GAME: SUDDEN DEATH

It certainly had been no easy task to find the infamous woman. First he had to find the heart, then he had to find the body it belonged to. For a small town, it sure was hard to find people. But part of the advantage of not being recognized and thus being able to lay low . . . was that he could go about his business without suspicion. And in a place with two damn Sheriffs . . . well, it was important to remain inconspicuous, and avoid being the center of attention.

Right now his investigation led him to caves . . . ones that he had to access by going in some strange object that took him down. And down. And more down. He was used to that direction, as former Lord of the Underworld. But if she was indeed here, then it would be worth it. Upon exiting the moving box, he began to confidently walk forward, unafraid of what else may dwell here. He had lived in a hell with all sorts of monsters and crazy souls. This was nothing.

He then heard her familiar voice, claiming that everyone would pay. Oh yeah. That was definitely her. Hades followed the sound, soon enough finding the source of it. "Or maybe you'll pay," he began to say, his voice not threatening but rather, making light of the situation as he continued to continued on to elaborate the meaning of his words. "Preferably in gold and silver, jewels work too. Hey, I'm not picky," he stated jokingly, referring to payment for what he was going to grant her: freedom. Just as she had once given him.

Maleficent usually spoke to herself.. but never once did she get an answer. Which is why when she heard someone speaking to her, she rose to her feet, lifted her staff, and held it out, pointing it at whomever was in the cave. When she saw that it had been Hades, she felt her stomach doing a flip. It was someone she never thought she would see again. "Well, as you can see, i'm all out of precious jewels...but I am curious as to what you're selling, Hades." She mused as her lips curved in to a grin. She wouldn't say it out loud, but she was completely relieved to see him standing there. Seeing anyone would have made her feel better more than likely..but with Hades it was something more. Although, it also had intimidated her. Why did the Lord of the Underworld seek her out? "So to what do I owe the pleasure of your company, Hades? And.. how did you find me?"

To Maleficent's knowledge, Regina had her completely hidden. To find her would take some incredible skill. Of course she definitely wasn't going to deny the fact that if anyone would have the power to find her it was him, but the question still stood...How? She held herself in a stance of a woman filled with confidence.... but really, she was broken. Never though, would she ever reveal that part of her. She never had the urge to.. likely because she didn't have a heart, and she hadn't for a long, long time.

He could see her relax when she saw who had come. He supposed that it could have been someone far worse. He considered Maleficent an ally, at the very least. And together, they would certainly be unstoppable. She voiced her curiosity at what was selling, and he continued to smile, just as he continued to step toward her. "Something that's priceless," he answered, leaving his response cryptic for a moment as he let her mind think it over. "Your freedom," he finally answered, a smile continuing to play on his lips. He may lie on certain occasions, or well . . . twist the truth as he liked to call it, but not this time. No. He had come here to get her out: to unleash her.

She then asked to what she owed the pleasure of his company, though he focused on the latter question more as she inquired the way in which he found her. "Well I could bore you with the details, or I could save us the time and fast forward to the fact that I did find you. And it wasn't at all easy, but I believe, well worth it." A smirk remained on his face as he watched her, moving closer to her still, feeling the strength of her beating heart in his possession as he neared its owner. "What do you say, Mal? Are you ready to get out of here?" He asked somewhat rhetorically as he presumed the answer would be yes. He knew what it felt like to be trapped in such a place. He had after all been stuck in the Underworld for far too long. Funny how the role had somewhat reversed since she was now the one trapped in a world that was under. Ironic indeed.

Maleficent wasn't sure what to expect Hades to be offering. In fact, she was still incredibly surprised that he was even there...but when he said he was there to offer her Freedom, she felt as though the air had just been drawn completely from her lungs. "What..?" She asked, even though she had heard him perfectly. She was in shock..she had no idea what to even say..or do. To her question of how he had found her, he seemed to imply that it was a bit of a long story, so she decided to let it be. She was far too anxious now anyway to even listen to the story if he told it. "You did indeed find me," she spoke in almost a whisper. 

He then asked if she was ready to get out of there. Her prison that she had been trapped in for far, far too long. "Of course," She was finally able to smile as she began to realize that now she could do everything she had thought about doing while she had been entrapped. All of the plans that had formed in her mind that deep down she thought she'd never be able to bring to fruition were now within her grasp. She stepped toward Hades, until she was merely inches away from him. "I freed you from imprisonment once upon a time..and now you've found a way to free me, as well. As a thank you, i'd like to invite you to bring absolute chaos down on this sickeningly sweet little town with me." The two of them would be absolutely unstoppable. 

"We'll of course have to wait until they're lulled in to a false sense of security, but then, when we strike, their worlds will shatter..." She lifted her right hand, and with the back of it, she lightly dragged her knuckles against his left cheek. "Like broken glass."
