*Gawain frowned, his legs slowing as his mother appeared. His eyes implored hers, not understanding.*

*Dracula sighed heavily as Malefica disappeared into the other room. It would always be the boy. He understood that now, but he could no longer wait. He pushed up and out the window, taking to the sky on great leathery wings, facing the harsh light of day with a horrendous scream.*

*Malefica sighed when her husband left, but she had to be with her child. She came toward Gawain, but stopped a couple feet away. She looked deeply into his eyes and spoke mildly to him.*
"I am your mother, Malefica. I am The Guardian of The Holy Grail. And this is the wizard Merlin, who has sworn to protect you with his life."
*She reached her arms against him, wanting to embrace him.*

*Gawain blinked, his eyes searching the room wildly. He looked at his hand then to her, confusion in his features.*

*Malefica looked over at her son, with her heart filled with love for him. He was so adorable. But she didn't know if he recognized her. She knelt down in front of him, and began singing one of the lullabys she had song the most for him as a baby.*
Hush now, my baby Be still love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember My lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream
Drift on a river That flows through my arms Drift as I'm singing to you I see you smiling So peaceful and calm And holding you, I'm smiling, too Here in my arms Safe from all harm Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember this river lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream I'll be with you when you dream

*Something passed through him and his breathing calmed, but his eyes narrowed, not leaving her.*

*Malefica smiled warmly, coming closer to him. She looked warmly into his eyes.*
"My beloved child. It is nothing I wish more than to help you and tend to your needs. But for me to know your wants and needs, I need you to speak to me. Can you do that?"

*His mouth fell open, as if he were trying to understand her, but something wasn't connecting.*

*Malefica came over to the boy, and she placed her hands gently on his shoulders, as she looked warmly into his eyes.*
"Gawain, my sweet, beloved child. If I only had a way to understand you. Believe me, there is nothing I want more than to help you."

*He flinched at her touch, but Gawain did not pull away.*
"Gawa..." *He looked startled.*

*Malefica embraced her son and held him protectively in her arms. She placed her cheek against his, hugging him and kissing his curls.*
"You don't need to be afraid of me, my child. I will never put you in harm's way. I love you."
*She looked lovingly into his eyes, without releasing him.*
"What do you want to tell me, Gawain?"
*She spoke mildly to him.*

*As she embraced him, a peace came over him and he curled up, sucking his balled fist.*

*Malefica sat down in a chair and lifted Gawain up in her lap. She smiled and nodded to Merlin, and Merlin left the room and came back with some bread, milk, fruit and meat and placed it on the table. Malefica smiled and made a peanut butter sandwich, offering it to Gawain.*
"You must be hungry, sweetie. Don't you want something to eat?"
*Her eyes were filled with love for him.*

((Just in case you can't tell, his body looks 10-12 years old.))
*Gawain awkwardly balanced on her lap, trying to stay up as he pawed at the bodice of her dress.*

((Okay. I also think he is very sweet. I love that kid.))
*Malefica placed her arm around him to support him. She kissed his curls gently and broke a piece of the peanut butter sandwich, offering it to him. To show him how to eat, she made a peanut butter sandwich for herself also and took a bite of it. Merlin joined them and helped himself to an apple.*
