Enraptured ↠ Killian Jones [4]

[ t w e l v e ]

After receiving an urgent call from her parents Alexa quickly met up with them, Killian, Regina, Henry, King Arthur, and Queen Guinevere of Camelot at the sheriff's station.

"So he just.. vanished?" Killian inquires after King Arthur explains the situation.

"Could it be magic? Your squire — did he wield such power?" Robin asks.

"Not that I ever saw." King Arthur shakes his head.

"Well, there's no sign of tampering." David comments looking over the cell.

"Then he must've lied about having the bean." King Arthur muses. "He must've hidden it on his person somewhere and used it to escape."

"How could he be so selfish? We could all be home right now." Queen Guinevere exclaims.

"Desperate times." King Arthur retorts giving his queen a knowing look.

"Our people want so badly to return. We must do something to raise their spirits." Queen Guinevere urges. "The despair of being away — that's what caused all this. Who knows what else it can lead to."

"Well, you're right. People need hope." Mary Margaret says. "And, as your hosts and leaders of this town, it is up to us to provide it."

"What do you have in mind?" Regina questions.

"How about a dance?" Henry suggests looking up from his phone.

"A dance, huh? Looking for an excuse to take your girlfriend out on a date?" David grins teasingly.

"Girlfriend? What girlfriend?" Regina inquires in a shocked tone due to the new information.

"Oh, is it the girl that I saw you talking by jukebox at Granny's with?" Alexa asks with a big smile on her face before pulling Henry in for a hug. "Awe, my nephew's in love."

"I'm not in love — and she's not my girlfriend." Henry argues.

"Who's not your girlfriend?" Regina presses.

"I think a dance is exactly what we need." Mary Margaret states before turning to Alexa. "And I think we already have the perfect entertainment provider."

"Me?" Alexa questions and her mother nods. "I appreciate the encouragement, but singing a few nights at a bar is a whole lot different than putting on an entire show."

"Come on, Aunt Alexa. You can do it. You're amazing." Henry tells her.

"He's right, Lex." Killian interjects wrapping his arm over her shoulders. "They'll love you."
