Chapter 2/4: Maleficent mesmerizes the Princess

[Inside the room, the fire goes out, and out of a shadow, Maleficent shortly appears, then there's only a ball of light visible. Aurora gets up in spell, and starts towards the light]
Merryweather:
I don't see why she has to marry any old prince.
Fauna:
Now, that's not for us to decide, dear.
[inside, the mysterious light moves beyond the fireplace, where the wall opens]
Fauna:
Maybe we should tell King Stefan about the boy.
Merryweather:
Well, why don't we?
[they hear a faint sound from inside the room]
Flora:
Listen! Maleficent!
Fairies:
Rose, Rose!
[they open the door]
Flora:
Oh why did we leave her alone?
Fairies:
Rose, Rose!
[The fairies see Aurora walking through the fireplace, but the wall reappears. Aurora slowly walks up a staircase, following the light. The fairies try pushing the wall open, then Flora uses her magic]
Fairies:
Rose, Rose! Where are you? Rose!
[There are multiple ways going off the fireplace. The fairies don't find the right way at once]
Fairies:
Rose!
[Briar Rose follows the light into a room in the tower, where the light turns into a spinning wheel. Aurora starts to reach towards it with her left hand]
Fairies:
Rose! Don't touch anything!
[Aurora holds back. Without seeing her, we hear Maleficent saying]
Maleficent:
Touch the spindle. Touch it I say!
[In a flash of light, Aurora touches the spindle with the middle finger. Just this moment, the fairies appear in the door]
Fairies:
Oh!
Maleficent:
You poor simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me, me, the mistress of all evil. Well, here's your precious princess.
[Maleficent turns beside, revealing Aurora laying face-down on the floor. Maleficent disappears, laughing]
Fauna:
Rose!
Flora:
Oh Rose! Oh, I'll never forgive myself.
Fauna:
We're all to blame!
[They start crying over Aurora's motionless body. the camera turns to the window, where the last rays of the setting sun shine in deep red]
[Inside the castle. King Stefan and the Queen sit on their throne. Hubert approaches Stefan]
Hubert:
Stefan, there's something important I have to tell you.
Stefan:
Not now, Hubert.
Hubert:
But it's about Phillip.
Stefan:
Phillip, oh yes, of course, Phillip, why, where is the boy?
Hubert:
That's what i'm telling to tell you.
Stefan:
Well, send for him immediately!
Hubert:
But ...
[A fanfare sounds outside]
Announcer:
The sun has set, make ready to welcome your princess!
[The crowd before the castle cheers, and fireworks are shot into the sky. The camera turns towards the tower]
