When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.

You've been a homeless aspiring magician since you were 16, to avoid getting caught by an orphanage. 7 years later, you watch the death of Jack Wilder from the sidewalk, but you didn't believe he actually died, since you were the only person in the world(other than the Four Horsemen) to see the whole trick go down. One year later, you go to a bar to escape your abusive boyfriend, where a disguised Jack Wilder is sitting next to the only available seat. You sit next to him, and spark up a conversation. Then when your boyfriend shows up, you leave, leaving Jack a clue telling him you need help. Does he come and help you? What's to come in your future? *Takes place 3 months before NYSM2* Warnings: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NYSM2 **duh** Could potentially get slightly smutty, but I promise I won't get too descriptive References to abuse, cutting, and sex(nothing too graphic) ***sorry***

***A Once Upon a Time Fanfiction ***A Killian Jones/Captain Hook Fanfiction *** Since I first wrote this book, I have changed chapters and some of the story, several times... I hope that if you are coming back to reread this book, that you will still like it. :) *Disclaimer* I do not own any characters, except for Dream. All rights go to ABC Family, Adam Horowitz, and Edward Kitsis. *Started on August 24th, 2017* *Finally finished on August 12th, 2022* *** Dream is an odd name to name your kid. That's what Dream Mills always thought, but that's what her mother named her, nineteen years ago. Her mother's excuse was that Dream was her "dream come true", which she would elaborate by saying that she always wanted to be a mother. Dream was close with her mother, and that never changed when her adoptive, little brother, Henry, brought back his birth mother Emma. Believing that she would bring back the happy endings to the town of Storybrooke, who were, supposedly trapped under a curse by Regina Mills, their mother, and the "Evil Queen. What happens when Dream learns that Henry was right? Will Dream's relationship with her mother crack under the lies? What happens when she gets trapped in an unknown world? Will she be the hero that her brother thinks she is?
