Enchanting ↠ Killian Jones [1]

[ s i x t e e n ]

Alexa's head was fuzzy. She barely had enough strength to open her eyes. It was like a weight was being pushed on her and she was lost in the darkness.

Hearing a man's scared voice, her eyes snap wide open. She was on a boat with her hands tied together, her feet tied to the frame of the cot she was laying on, and there was a cloth tied around her mouth. Trying to squirm free, Alexa watches as Killian steps into the room from below and narrows her eyes at him while sitting up.

"Don't give me that look, we both know that you don't feel that way about me." Killian says and Alexa watches him as he downs a gulp of rum. "Besides, you and I both know that I'm much better company than Cora."

Walking closer to her, Killian kneels down and pulls the cloth off her mouth.

"Dick." Alexa states.

"Quite the mouth for a young girl." Killian muses.

"I'm not that young." Alexa retorts.

"That I can see." Killian smirks. "So, who are you Swan?"

"You're seriously trying to have a civil conversation with me after everything that you've done?" Alexa inquires.

"Would you rather we do something else?" Killian asks smirking, but Alexa just glares at him. "Fine, I have some things in town that need my attention. Enjoy being alone, love."

Alexa spends the next ten minutes trying to get out of the ropes. But all that she does is give herself rope burn. Groaning loudly in frustration, she tries to think of another idea. Then it hits her.

"Magic." Alexa mumbles, realizing that that was her only option at this point. "Okay, I can do this."

Relaxing her muscles, Alexa puts all her focus on the ropes. And within seconds they are untying themselves. Smiling she stands up, but then stops hearing a voice from underneath her. Finding a trap door in the floorboards she opens and finds a face she never thought she'd see again.

"Archie?" Alexa breathes surprised. "You're alive?"

"Relatively." Archie shrugs. "Mind helping me out?"

"Oh, right. Sorry." Alexa replies quickly grabbing a dagger as she cuts the ropes off of him. They're about to get out when they hear footsteps. "Get back."

Closing the trap door, Alexa holds the dagger tightly prepared to fight. But then surprisingly Belle opens the trap door.
