Enchanting ↠ Killian Jones [1]

[ t w e l v e ]

Alexa hides her face between her knees as Emma continuously clashes Alexa's sword against the metal bars, just like she has been for the past ten minutes.

"For the love of god Emma, please just stop it already. It's not going to break! It was enchanted to hold Rumplestiltskin. All you're doing is giving me a migraine." Alexa snaps.

Sighing, Emma gives Alexa back her sword and sits next to her knowing that she was right. They were stuck and there was nothing any of them could do about that. Now all five woman were sitting, their eyes full of despair.

"This is my fault." Aurora frowns.

"No, it's mine. Cora stole your heart because I failed to protect you." Mulan retorts.

"You? All of this wouldn't be happening if I didn't fall through the portal." Emma remarks.

"You? I'm supposed to be the savior, and the only thing that I can save at this point is my pride." Alexa sighs.

"We're going to win this fight, you know. Good always defeats evil." Mary Margret tells her daughters.

"You sound like Henry." Emma muses.

"Guess optimism runs in the family." Mary Margret smiles.

"In that case, I think it skipped a generation." Alexa states.

"Alexa, you should know better than anybody. You broke the curse, you're the savior." Mary Margret reminds her.

"And what have I done since then? Fall through a portal, burned the wardrobe, lost the ashes to Cora, and now the compass. The only reason the curse is broken is because it's exactly what Gold wanted me to do. I had nothing to do with it, it was just a force greater than me or anyone else." Alexa rants.

"What are you talking about?" Mary Margret asks.

"He told you I was the savior, it was his plan. Everything I've ever done, he had it all mapped out before me and Emma were born." Alexa explains. "I'm just a name on a piece of paper and nothing else. I was used and taken advantage of, not that that's anything new."

"Mary Margret's right, we're going to get out of here. We have to, for Henry." Emma adds.

"How? By staring at this damn scroll? It's not like it's going to magically open the door for us." Alexa groans closing her eyes.

"Yes, it is!" Mary Margret replies grabbing the scroll.

"How? By giving it a belly rub?" Alexa questions, obviously being sarcastic.

"Watch this." Mary Margret says as she blows on the scroll. And the black ink blew off of the scroll, over to the door, and creates a giant hole in the gate. "Squid ink, Gold wrote the scroll in squid ink! Told you, good always wins."

"I'll keep that in mind." Alexa nods as she grabs her sword.

"Wait, I can't go! You have to tie me up." Aurora shakes her head.

"No, I'm not going without you!" Mulan protests.

"I can't be trusted, not as long as Cora has my heart." Aurora informs them.

"Then I will get it back for you." Mulan assures the princess before tying her to the gate. "I promise."

Alexa, Emma, Mary Margret, and Mulan find Cora and Killian just as they're about to enter the portal. Mary Margret quickly shoots an arrow at them, knocking the compass out of their hands.

"You're not going anywhere, this portal's taking us home!" Mary Margret announces. "Alexa, get the compass."

Running towards the compass, Killian gets in her way as he clashes his sword against hers. Alexa kicks him in the gut, but that doesn't seem to phase him in the slightest. Charging at him, Killian flips her onto her back and grabs her by the foot.

Kicking him again, he let's go of her and Alexa is able to get her sword. That's when they notice the bag that contained Aurora's heart was about to fall inside the portal, and to Alexa's surprise, Killian catches it.

"I may be a pirate, but I bristle at the thought of a woman losing her heart, unless it's over me." Killian smirks throwing it to Mulan.

"Mulan, go!" Alexa orders.

"But you need the compass." Mulan states.

"And Aurora needs her heart." Alexa counters. Nodding, Mulan runs off while Alexa and Killian resume right where they left off. "Wow, who knew Captain Hook had a soft side. That's one for the books."

"I don't, just like a fair fight." Killian says as their swords clash, completely in synchronization. "Good form, but not good enough."

Sweeping her feet, Alexa ends up back on the ground with Killian on top of her.

"Sorry, I'm not much of a swordsman." Alexa informs him. "We don't have a lot of those back in my world, not that you'll get there."

"Normally, I prefer to do other more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back. With my life on the line, you've left me no choice." Killian tells her. "A bit of advice. When I jab you with my sword, you'll feel it. You might want to quit."

"Why would I when I'm the one who's winning?" Alexa inquires holding up the compass before clocking him on the side of his head. "Sorry, not sorry." Standing up, she turns to see Mary Margret on the ground and Cora about to rip out Emma's heart. "No!"

Alexa runs as fast as she's ever run in her life, which was very fast considered she didn't run very often, and pushes Emma out of the way. She could feel Cora's hand on her heart as she tried to rip it out. It was something she never thought she would ever feel.

"Oh, you foolish girl. Don't you know, love is weakness." Cora remarks.

"No, it's strength." Alexa corrects her as a blast of magic throws Cora away from her and the woman who was just about to rip her heart out disappears. "Um.. what just happened?"

"That is a great subject for discussion, when we get home." Mary Margret comments.

Smiling, the three woman jump in the portal more than ready to go home.
