A/N: So I had this long elaborate OUaT dream last night with Jack the Giant Slayer (played by Cassidy Freeman whom I LOVE) and an original character who I think is the Blue Fairy's daughter (not too sure though). It was a F/F dream (like all the good ones are). I only wrote out like a third of the dream here. If it sucks, it's all my subconscious's fault, not mine! :P Sorry for the OC, 'cause I really don't like reading them in fanfics myself, so I understand if you guys just back away now. Oh and my OC's name is stupid too! Again, all my subconscious here.
Jack
Jacqueline always had a feisty spirit about her, whose philosophy was: play hard, love passionately, and celebrate until the day becomes anew. She had gone by the name of Jack, fancying it better for carrying out her masculine reputation; although, those who met her were in for a shock, for she was not only a renowned Giant Slayer who was a women, but she was a beautiful one at that.
On that day when Jack had tricked the giant and climbed the bean stock, only to find a blade through her gut and a cowardly prince fleeing the scene, she had known that she was done for. She called out to her betrayer as her life fluids pooled out around her. The Giant did nothing as she fell back onto the ground, heaving for air. Who really knew what the oversized man was thinking. Maybe he left her to die on her own, to feel what he felt, forsaken and betrayed.
As Jack's eyes closed, she felt the ground beneath her rumble whilst the giant exited the room, leaving her alone to perish. Shortly after, as she felt her last breath drawing near, she heard a high pitched charm sound resonated in her ears. At first she assumed it to be the sound of death coming for her, but a bright blue light shown through the creases of her lazily shut eyelids, as a gentle hand rested on her belly wound.
Jack fluttered her eyelids open to find a beautiful young woman, around her age, with hair of midnight, eyes of sapphire, and skin so pale that it matched the clouds that surrounded them. The woman gazing down on her, "You really did it this time, didn't you?" the strange girl said, meaning it in amusement, but her eyes gave her away as they looked with anguished.
"…I- who-" Jack muttered in confusion as she studied the other woman's face. She knew her, but she only knew her then, in that moment, in that state between sleep and awake. "Who are you?"
"I am, one of many, daughters of a fairy and a star," she smiled warmly towards her whilst a blue glow came emanating out from her hand, which rested on Jack's stomach; instantaneously taking the Giant Slayer's pain away as the injury mended.
The star-fairy's face soon contorted in pain; lifting her hand off Jack, only to rest it on her own belly. The Giant Slayer quickly sat up and pushed the other's hand away to see her rescuer's bloodied side, as hers previously was.
"What has happened? I thought you were a fairy?" Jack spouted out in concern, not really understanding why she cared so deeply.
"I am a fairy… sort of," The dark haired girl slumped into herself, "Fairies may only use their powers on the worthy, and you, my Jacqueline, have not exactly been worthy these days," the girl actually chuckled, which broke Jack's heart. A heart that she swore lacked the ability of breakage.
"You're not going to die, are you?" The auburn haired woman spat in question.
"Probably," the star-fairy answered stoically.
"Why would you do this then!?" She yelled angrily at the magical being that was sacrificing her life for hers.
"Because you are my favourite," the woman started to explain. "I have been a star, sitting up in the big empty sky, watching over you your whole life. Whenever you fell into trouble I would try my best to guide you, and whenever you were sad, I'd sing to you in the nights." The woman then smiled towards Jack, "The problem is; you rarely stayed neither quite nor still long enough to notice me."
Jack was forced to wipe her completely sodden eyes, not realising that she had been crying. She did know her, she remembered. She knew the star, her star. It was not the brightest in the sky, yet it was always the one that her eyes were drawn to. "Desdemona," the slayer murmured that star's name that she had always gazed upon in the night sky, "Your name is Desdemona."
The star-fairy smiled so very big; finally having conformation that her best friend knew her. Her sparkling grin faded quickly as she crumpled in pain, once again. "I must go now," she said through clenched teeth before disappearing into the clouds, not giving Jack the time to say goodbye.
That was one of Jack's last memories before she arrived in Storybrooke; the town where she would find her fairy-star once again, or at least, the ghost of her.
