It had been weeks of hiding. Hiding in darkened alleys, in the homes of people she trusted - but mostly in the Court of Miracles. It was the only place she called home, and though she hated what Frollo was doing to Paris, to her people, there was little she could do. Already giving herself up was not an option - to her and to Clopin. He was determined to keep her safe, even getting angry with her when she went back to the streets to see what was happening.
And that’s what she’d done once more - except this time as she make her way into the cemetery a woman’s voice called out beside her. Emerald eyes widened in shock as she span on her heels to look at the source of the voice. It was a woman - at least she looked like a woman, and the girl’s body tensed in fear.
“Who are you?”
Maleficent dramatically spread out her arms, allowing the flame like pattern of her sleeves to be fully visible.
"I am Maleficent, a sorceress of great power. And I am to understand that you are the Esmeralda being sought after by that decrepit judge?"
Of course Maleficent already knew the answer to that question, but she enjoyed a bit of coyness now and then.
