Fascination ↠ Killian Jones [2]

Alexa squeezes into the outfit Killian had given her in order to fit in more. It was a dress, corset, and hood. Walking out Alexa can't help smiling as Killian smirks at her.

"Oh, well that's much better." Killian comments looking over her figure.

"Is all of this seriously necessary?" Alexa questions fixing the one side of her corset so it wasn't as tight.

"What would you have done if Regina had spotted you back there?" Killian inquires.

"Well, considering our circumstances, I probably would've run for my life." Alexa answers.

"And even if we had she'd seen you. She might remember you when you first arrived in Storybrooke." Killian remarks.

"She'd remember a glimpse of a face thirty years from now? Yeah, right. No one's memory is that good." Alexa scoffs.

"The point is to minimize you making a lasting impression, and sadly purple leather jackets don't come into vogue here — ever." Killian tells her.

"Well, the only lasting impression I'm worried about is what this corset is doing to my insides. They're turning into week old mush." Alexa retorts.

"Your discomfort is a cross I'm willing to bear." Killian smirks.

"Thanks." Alexa mutters rolling her eyes.

"And nothing compared to what would happen if we affect the timeline, which means proceeding with all caution." Killian continues pulling up her hood. "You're not from a world of magic, I am. Even the smallest of changes could have catastrophic consequences, things must happen as they always did."

"Okay. Let's go." Alexa agrees.

Letting Killian lead the way since Alexa had no idea where the heck she was going they begin down a path to the Dark One's castle. But then suddenly there's a sound of a horse and carriage.

"Could be the Queen again." Killian says pulling Alexa with him where they hide behind fallen tree a as a white carriage stops.

"Worry not, it's but a fallen tree!" Charming calls exiting the carriage.

"That's.." Alexa starts.

"Your father." Killian states. "We should go."

Alexa looks up having memorized the story. And there her mother was, up in a tree. Accidentally snapping a branch she watches as she falls to the ground and quickly flees the scene. Waiting as David's carriage leaves, Alexa turns to Killian as they walk back onto the road.
