HERE I AM AGAIN YOU LOVELY PEOPLE THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN :)

Okay, before bed last night I reread my last chapter and came to the conclusion that it was all just too much. Killian and everything should have had it's own chapter and even when I took some of it off there was still more than four thousand. -.-

I think I just got carried away.. This chapter shows her projection power activating in defense to a nightmare, and just whose chapter she 'woke up' in and it just so happened the woman of the house.. er, castle is a relative of hers from her past life. That is how Killian knows them.

Someone (The Awesome 'RenTenTen') also had mentioned that they had dreams of Emma with the Huntsman, the dear and sexy Sheriff of good old Storybrooke and I was wondering what you guys thought of that? Killian being with Alexia - Regina with Sirius.. What do you think about Emma with Graham? Neal seemed like a possibility because of being Henry's real father but it seems like just a obvious choice and I AM ALL FOR THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Hello, I paired A Female Harry Potter with Killian Jones, Regina with Sirius, Luna with Henry, Remus with Ruby.. I did a Bleach/Naruto Story with Gaara and Yoruichi because I simply love both characters.. I made a Harry Potter/Smallville story with Bellatrix and Lex. I did a Twilight/Vampire Diaries story with Angela and Klaus and Recently did a story of The Pretty Little Liars/Vampire Diaries with Emily/Klaus/Hayley. I practically live for being out of the box.. and don't blame me for it being dark and creepy in there. Lol.

So please give me your opinion, I would love to hear it. If you want Emma Swan with Sheriff Graham - let me know, I can and most definitely will make it work if you want me to. One way or another. :)

I hope all of you like this chapter. Thank you for all of your input. I am so happy that you all like it. Nine chapters and almost a hundred reviews! Thank you all so much!

Chapter 9: In a dream far, far away

...

Alexia sighed as she climbed into bed after her shower, reaching over to turn off her bedside lamp. Henry traveled to New York, tracking down his birth mother or his 'real mom' as he put it before he pushed past a relieved Regina and ran into the house. He had it better than most his whole life, better start than she herself had but... at the same time she couldn't fault him for wanting to know his origins. Who gave birth to him.

She sighed as she tried to clear her thoughts to fall asleep peacefully.. only to have it turn into a nightmare.

Blue eyes glared daggers at her, the same eyes that were emotionless in the moving photograph she saw earlier that day.. She just screamed at him, that she wasn't the 'savior' and that she was nobodies puppet. Her throat felt it was scrubbed raw on the inside from forcing the words out as harshly as she did.

She'd be damned if she let him use her. Let anyone use her. She should have listened to Rumblestiltskin when he said to beware of old coots that were power hungry. She glared at him with a painful spell on her tongue and just when she was about to say it, her whole world turned black.

Pentagram. Five stars with a candle of each could see as much through blurry vision. Blinded by pain. Anguish. A scream threatened to spill from her mouth but she held it back. No, he would get no satisfaction in hearing her screams.

She would not plead for mercy. She knew she wouldn't be granted any. She could barely breath, couldn't think - at least nothing but the pain.

Killian. A thought finally broke through from her trying to make sense of the old man's Latin words. Those blue eyes that shined when something excited him, darkened when he was angry about something.. she would never be able to see them again. Be held in his arms.

Tears finally broke through her eyes, unknown to Alexia that she was also crying in her sleep. She wanted to be safe, she wanted to live, she wanted to be kissed passionately by her husband. She had a whole life ahead out her but now within moments it was gonna be stripped away.

She wanted -

"Killian." Alexia whimpered softly in her sleep, finishing the thought of the dream, knowing exactly what she needed.. what she craved. Her body heated up considerably in her short dark red and white polka dot pajama shorts and plain white tank top with thin straps and lace tossed and turned in her sleep, kicking the blankets off forcefully but it didn't seem to matter as her body seemed to glow in the moon light, her favorite mood ring glinting on her pointer finger that she forgot to take off before bed.

Alexia?

Alexia..

"Alexia.." An soft accented male voice that seemed somehow familiar even in her sleep, was swat angrily away as she tried to get comfortable. The bed seemed really hard when normally it was so much more comfortable, and it was cooler than what she was before. She sighed in happiness, something that a man gave a soft, amused and relieved laugh to and responded back in a huff. All she wanted to do was sleep, damn it why couldn't they leave her alo-

She abruptly shot up, eyes opening widely as she took in the beautiful castle around her. She was laying on the stone floor, something that explained the hard and cool texture, before locking on to amused bright blue eyes that belonged to the man of her dreams - literally. Killian Jones had not aged a day from her 'memories'.. 'dreams'.. whatever the hell they were. Mischievous blue eyes, decked out in leather, dark hair.. All Killian Jones..

She scrambled back, blinking in confusion before giving into the urge to pinch her arm. If she was only dreaming.. Alexia sighed loudly in exhaustion as the pain of her pinch hit her. No such luck.. seems that my projection power is more powerful than any of us thought.

She groaned as she laid down again flat on her back, staring up at the ceiling in thought. She would be here until she wok up in the real world.. her world.. eh, still weird. She was finally here with her soul mate for any amount of time and -

Alexia groaned again, not that she was upset to meet her soul mate in fact she was excited and impatient.. but then she remembered her mother's reaction to Henry being gone for so would hate to make her worry but she was at the very least sixty percent positive of one thing..

"My mom is so gonna kill me.."

...

"Well then we will kill her first." One of the men said in response, a promise in his voice to her huff, making Alexia look at the man who spoke with a '..Really?' type of look. He was wearing leather as well, boots with a white bandanna on his head, contrasting with his sun kissed skinned.

"Sarcasm." She said dryly though humorously she wondered if at was the case. She sighed and dropped back down before pinching herself again. She would not survive living in a world where sarcasm was not comprehend. No. She had no hope of survival..

"What's going on here..?" A soft feminine voice startled Alexia, the young beauty sitting upright with a slight struggle, a hand holding her pulsing head that turned to the sound of heels on the floor. A pale slightly older beauty with bright sky blue eyes and bright auburn hair that was running in loose curls down her back looked at her curiously before stopping short at her face.. "Oh.. my lord."

Alexia tilted her head sideways in response as her confusion glinted in her eyes. The woman before her was beautiful indeed, wearing a loose light pink dress that was free flowing with her every move, a diamond necklace around her neck, the silver shaped like hearts, "Umm.. hi?"

"Lexi..?! You.." The woman looked heartbroken at the look that must have been on her face, looking at the small group of men around her before looking back at Alexia and smiling sadly, "You have no idea who I am.. do you?"

Alexia picked herself up with some assistance from Killian, a shock instantly coming from their hands meeting and it made her look at the man in front of her curiously before looking back at the woman, unaware that he didn't let go of her hand, "No. I don't believe I do, sorry. This is the first time that I have traveled to.. this world? Sounds even weirder when I say it out loud.."

"That.. can't be." The woman murmured as she stepped forward, looking her over in the pajamas that seemed so foreign.. so.. She shook her head, smiling at Alexia tensely, "My name is Aurora.." The woman, Aurora, sighed when the name didn't register. "Come Alexia.. you must be hungry."

She turned on her heels, moving with a upright posture that made Alexia wonder if it hurt to walk around like that all the time.. Wait a minute.."...Hey! How do you know my name?!" Alexia ran after her, nearly tripping in her haste as her ankle soaks struggled for grip on the smooth stone floor. She heard people running behind her as she kept up with the woman while trying not to fall.

"Would you believe me, Alexia, if I told you we were once family?" Aurora stopped short in front of two grand double doors and looked at Alexia's wide eyes calmly.

"I would say Don't try to prank the prankster, as it would be very good advice." Lexi nodded firmly before looking at her thoughtfully "And I am not hungry.. Besides I have seen movies that start out exactly like this where someone mysteriously goes into another world and is stuck there because they ate something.. or they turned into something. Like a fairy -"

Aurora looked at her amused before silently pushed open the doors to reveal tables upon tables full of food, making Alexia blink a few times in surprise before straightening up in mock thought, "Oooh, you are good. I'll give you that, but I am really not hungry.." She looked around the room anyways as she skipped forward, "Though.." She twisted to look at them sharply, her pointer finger up with a very serious expression on her normally playful face, "..Do you have any rum?"

Aurora didn't look at Killian, who was chuckling under his breath with soft eyes and a wide, amused smile on his lips, but simply looked at Alexia. "And just how old are you.. This time around?"

Lexi raised an eyebrow at the added tackled onto the question before shrugging, "Seventeen. Though if you want to get all technical seventeen is the legal age to drink in England." She smirked widely at Aurora's dry look at her ability to find a loophole anywhere, it was a gift. Though it seemed that this chick actually did know her - and very well if she was able to overlook the randomness that was made up of Alexia Potter.

"Really?" Killian smirked devilishly at her, stepping forward soundlessly and looking her over. Her short shorts that left her slightly tanned, long legs bare for him to see and her tank top that barely covered her. He shrugged off his jacket and put it over her shoulders, because even though she was around friends and family he thought that she was too exposed to be decent around others. And.. He went to continue when he suddenly looked at the image in front of him, all thoughts flew away from him as quickly as they had come. Damn, she always did look good in leather. And the fact that it was his leather jacket on her sent a thrill through him. Possessive? Protective? Didn't matter to him what you called it as long as nobody could see the nipples of her chest through her white tank top. "I didn't know that lass."

She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, an amused expression on her face. "Yes.. Tell me what's the point of having a dream if you can't get drunk in it?"

She still thought that this was a dream? Interesting. The urge to kiss her nearly overwhelmed him to show her that this was very much real.. but he wouldn't rush her at all. This was his soul mate, and she deserved to be treated as such. He grabbed two bottles from his private stash, and offered her one with a amused, expectant smile as he remembered just how amusing and hilarious she was drunk, "I most certainly agree with that, love."

...

Laughter spilled from her lips as Alexia was about to take another sip of her rum.. but seemed to think better of it. Never - besides Sirius that is - had she come a crossed a person that could make her laugh as hard as she found herself doing currently. Sure there were many people that amused her greatly for one reason or another but she none like Mr. Killian Jones and his band of misfits. Funny stories, people stumbling and tripping over each other, or saying unintelligible things that didn't make any sense but Alexia found she enjoyed nevertheless.

These people knew how to have fun.. shocker, shocker. She giggled and grabbed Aurora's arm as she rolled her eyes with a smile and a shake of her head, pulling the older woman to the dance floor with a goofy grin on her face, "Come on Aurora! Don't be a buzz kill." Alexia teased in good nature before grabbing the woman's hand with her own, holding it high and twirling herself. The room spun afterwards but Alexia couldn't stop laughing softly.

"I.. think you had enough." Aurora suggested with a soft grin that held down her nervousness from being seen. She had just discovered her dear lost family member's existence Aurora didn't want to see the lovely and pranking Alexia get hurt, even if the girl was right and it was a dream too her. Still she was here, in her arms, and Aurora had to push back the tears of happiness that stung her eyes at the mere thought.

"I would have to agree.. as long as you tell me what you meant by us being family." Alexia bargained from somewhere around her, making Aurora look from here she last saw the younger read head... only to find she wasn't there. Aurora blinked a few times before following Killian's weird look of exasperated and thoroughly amused to see.. How the hell did Alexia get up onto the ceiling Chandler?

"H-How..?" Aurora started out the question but cut herself off with a sigh that turned into a soft laugh, "You know what? I may not even want to know."

"Love.. what is it with you and heights?" Killian shook his head amused at her, knowing full well she got up there by teleportation.. though this time it wasn't smoke - It was a ball of fire. Huh.. seemed she learned a few tricks since they last saw each other.. but on another note it was good to see that some things never changed.

Alexia smiled brightly down at Killian before shifting her weight, jumping down and landing right in front of him with a little wobble as she landed but smiled at Killian in thanks when he reached out to help her balance herself. "I tend to think better when I'm up high." She shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head to her right side as she looked up at him, before looking around for Aurora. "You know, you still didn't answer my question.." She trailed off with a hint of smugness in her tone. No, I have not forgotten.. and I am not that drunk so you don't stand a chance at me forgetting to ask you.

"I - I'm your cousin.." Aurora forced out as sudden nervousness colored her tone, before taking a deep breath and pushing forward, "Or at least I was..We were really close even if we didn't see each other a lot. You had magic since you were younger, easily changing your hair color or dress to any color you could ever imagine."

Alexia tilted her head curiously, "Did I ever do it to you? Because I hate to break it to you but even though your dress is beautiful, I don't think pink is your color.. Maybe red? Blue?" She trailed off sheepishly and instead of an offended look on Aurora's face, the older red head surprised her greatly by laughing wholeheartedly.

"That's what you always said. Always twisting your finger at me one second and the next would be blinking surprised down at the tight fitting dark red gown that matched my hair or a bright baby blue that matched my eyes." That carefree smile on Aurora's face slowly dipped downward making Alexia uncertain if she truly wanted to know what made the woman frown, then she spoke again and Alexia didn't know what to think about it,"However, no matter how much I enjoyed and marveled at it... other people.. they did not. You were born a princess.. they .. expected you to act like one-"

Devils child!

Freak!

So many horrible names called to her as pain, sadness, and frustration shot through her the second that Aurora stopped speaking, being nice and trying to spare Alexia the pain. It was fruitless however because a flash of a crowd of nameless faces scrunched up in disgust, anger and horror came to mind before she shook her head. That couldn't be.. right? She couldn't - shouldn't - have memories of someone else life.. even if it was her. Which she strongly doubted to begin with...

New question though..If - and Alexia said that very loosely - if she was their Alexia, and this was her cousin.. was Aurora still her cousin after when she died and was reborn with different parents, different last name? It seemed so tactless to ask, not that she actually would but it was definitely something that greatly confused Lexi enough to make her head spin.. Or maybe that was just the Rum? She truly couldn't tell..

"Seems like they all were a bunch of buzz kills." Alexia murmured darkly, truly she didn't know how she survived the last time around with people that had no imagination. Oh, the horrors in life. Aurora seemed wonderful but Alexia knew that she couldn't full herself in thinking that everyone was the same way. The horror and abuse she had to go through both of her lives forbid her from thinking so naïve.

"You said something about being in England, love?" Killian spoke softly after a few seconds of silence, watching Alexia's expressions with a bit lip and sadness in his eyes. He needed to change the subject from whatever she was thinking. Distract her. "This is the first time that I have traveled to.. this world? Sounds even weirder when I say it out loud." He easily recalled her say earlier. She was in the human world, no wonder they couldn't find her in this would! This Dumbledore character hid her reborn soul from him, what Killian wouldn't give to -

Killian sighed, his hand protective wrapped around her waist so she wouldn't fall, laughing under his breath when he saw she sniff softly. Taking in his husky and leather smell that was naturally all him before speaking, "I went there today..I actually live in America now. Storybrooke, Maine."

"Hmm.." He smiled secretly as his blue eyes became unfocused in thought before looking at her brightly and steering her gently to the spacious, beautiful garden, knowing very well how much she used to love it deep down. In fact she went as far as to say that as a kid she would hid somewhere in the maze and flowers when she didn't want to get ready for a ball. She used to love t there. The quietness,the beauty, the .. "Come love, it seems to me that we have much to catch up on.."
