This, my lovely readers, is Chapter 10. And I can't even begin to stress how much I am overwhelmed by all of your feedback. This is simply awesome. Over the course of the chapters you guys have given me more than a hundred follows and favorites, we have officially past 100 in reviews. I am sooo happy that all of you like it that I could shed some tears.

Alexia will be the only savior. Emma will be her magical partner in crime and help her a little through things. Emma will be strong but not the savior and not as strong as Lexi. Lexi will always be stronger. Alexia will see the shades of gray that all others won't see, she will understand Regina and will stand up for her time and time again. There is a prophecy from Rumplestiltskin, however it is more concerning Alexia than it is Emma. Emma is there as a guide.

Alexia's character is complexed. Many layers. She is not your average savior, she is not evil. She is simply someone in between who knows that yes, she wants to help people out but knows that she can't help everyone. That there is no saving everyone. That if she was meant to be a superhero she would have been born with tights and a cape. She simply will do the best she can.

I think that Emma would be with Graham, because I do not like Neal that much. I hope that all of you wonderful people will like this. Thank you very much for everything. :)

Chapter 10 : Blurring Lines

...

When Alexia woke up the next morning, she was surprised that she felt more refreshed than she ever could compare from before. Funny, normally when she woke up in the morning it was full of groans, huffs and a sharp movement that had her annoying alarm clock in pieces as it hit the wall. One reason why her mother made her have half a closet full of alarm clocks.

Now though.. it seemed today she felt more undeniably awake for the first time in her life. Maybe it was the dream of one Killian Jones and his crew having fun with her and making her feel comfortable. Maybe it was Aurora. Maybe it was Killian chasing her playfully through the maze of hedges and sitting beside him on the gazebo in the center. Laughing, joking, telling each other about themselves and stories of what happened over the years.

She found herself being comfortable around him and when he smiled at her she tried really hard to hold down her blush. Any girl in her position would have understood and wouldn't have blamed her in the slightest. With his dark hair, blue eyes, softly tanned skin and leather - it was almost addictive to her.. and don't even get her started on how good he smelled.

She was sure he was doing it all on purpose, teasing her silently before pulling away. It was aggravating as much as it was amusing. No one could very well keep her interest for long but it seemed in the dream.. she was surrounded by people that cared. That understood her and actually had her best interest at heart. That they somehow knew her flaws and were all okay with them. That she didn't have to hide behind a mask or got weird looks from them..

That was a wonderful, even if it was weird, feeling.

Now though, she was confused. A feeling that she certainly did not like as it clouded her mind and proceeded to make her stomach turn. It felt so real, so wonderful, so.. and then doubt came in, worming it's way into her thoughts. Was it real? Or was the dream just that - a dream? She didn't know or know what to make of the ache inside of her at the mere thought of it being just a dream.

Was such a thing even possible since that was the first time she met him?

Alexia sighed to herself, she had so many questions and not enough answers to pair them with. She laid her right hand over her face, before blinking a few times when she didn't feel cool silver touching her cheek softly. She slowly pulled it away and stared at her right ring finger that she always kept her beautiful diamond tear drop white gold ring.. only to find it wasn't there. Alexia's eyebrows pulled together in confusion before she twisted her hand to have the palm upwards closing her eyes and visualizing exactly what it looked like in her mind. The top of the medium sized tear drop pointed, shimmering in the light with two small tear drops on each side pointed sideways. It was a beautiful ring that she had found among her things one day, to which anyone in the house told her they hadn't given it to her and it wasn't her mother's.

Her mother hadn't had anyone over and it seemed... somehow familiar to her..

Alexia opened her jade colored eyes after she was through visualizing it and looked at her out reached palm.

Nothing. No small fire ball abruptly disappearing to reveal her ring. That meant that it wasn't anywhere in her room. It wasn't in this world even.. it was as if it never even existed.

"How does this work?" One of the pirates from the dream that introduced himself to her as 'Smee' questioned curiously, his eyes twinkling at her with awe at her display of magic.

"Well.. I have only used it once or twice in my world and I don't particularly know if it would be able to have you all cross over to my world. It's a simple spell though. The person casting it types in the coordinates and it simply takes you there.' Alexia looked unnaturally serious as she stared at all of them for a long moment then looked back at the innocent ring that meant aa great deal to her for some reason. "One wrong number and disaster could happen. You could end up somewhere you wish you wouldn't have. Because the ring is small only one would be able to grab ahold of it as soon as it is time to have it activate so I will spell a different thing for each person. When it activates tomorrow at midnight on the dot you need to grab onto it. You will feel your stomach starting to feel a twist, and you will be levitated in the air, spiraling.. I warm all of you that while you are gonna be in aa different place? You are going to land hard somewhere on the ground.." She winced softly, remembering her first time using a portkey.

"A portkey, you say..?" One of them questioned softly, making her nod in answer before he continued, "And we would be stuck in a land, without magic, and ruled by the evil Queen?"

Alexia sighed and shook her head in disappointment before glaring darkly at the man in question. He was a little taller than her, tanned skin, dark spiked hair and blue eyes. She had just met them and for the first time since this dream started she felt herself getting annoyed. She leaned forward on the table and growled lowly at him, making him gulp as he took in her cold jade eyes that were always so warm.

"Let's make sure a few things are absolutely clear, shall we? I don't remember you." She glared at him before straightening up and looking around her, "Any of you." She looked at the man again, "Tell me something, honestly, do you expect me to stand by and keep my mouth shut while people badmouth my mother? A bunch of people I only know through distant dreams? You may call her 'The evil Queen' amongst yourselves all you like, but may heaven help you if I hear it. She is not evil, she is misunderstood. How would any of you feel if someone denied your ability to have a happy ever after time and time again? These people besides Rumblestiltskin don't have magic, and seemed to me from what I found out like he wanted to give up his powers. I can do magic there as well as some others. Things are not always black and white - people just don't tend to see the gray in between."

Silence surrounded her as the pirates around her blinked.. all except one. Killian was silent beside her, his arms crossed in front of him as he took in what she was saying, knowing very well how protective she got of the people she let in her heart.

"How would you feel if things were so bad for you that you had to cast a curse just so you could find even a glimpse of what everyone else so easily found?" Alexia laughed.. but this time it ws dryly and not at all amused, "Some evil person Regina Mills - 'The Evil Queen' - is huh? To take in a young seven year old girl into her arms and home, the girl running away from her abusive home where she was more of a starving slave than a family member?"

Killian looked down at her surprised and scared for her, his arms wrapping around her and pulling her to him within the split second that it took the thought of it to enter his mind. Maybe the Queen wasn't as evil as people thought?

" She is tough, strong, fiercely protective to the point where she will destroy anyone tha poses a threat to her or what she cares about.." A smile slowly turned up the corners of Alexia's lips as she spoke before nodding firmly, "But.. at the end of the day? She is just like you and I with the want of belonging.. The want to find her forever."

Her eyes narrowed at all of the shocked pirates that couldn't meet her gaze for more than aa few seconds at the most, aside from Killian who still had his arms around her curvy frame to offer the comfort he knew she needed silently. A feisty glint was in her eyes as her lips twisted into an unforgiving frown. "Now are you going to stop the attitude towards the first person to actually give a damn about me in this life or are at least more than half of you lot ready to find another way to the 'other world' as you so kindly put it?"

Ah.. right. But.. if that happened.. if that was how her ring went missing.. then maybe that actually wasn't just a dream at all..?

Ugh, this was so confusing! Was it even possible that the line between 'their world' and the human world.. were blurring?

Alexia groaned lowly to herself and got up out of bed to go to her tall dresser. She pulled out a pair of black faded ripped jeans, a white lacy tank top, a matching pair of white lace bra and boyleg shots before going to her bathroom to take a shower.

After she scrubbed herself with her black berry and vanilla shampoo and body wash, she stepped out the shower with the smoke from the hot water trying to cloud up her room. She got dressed quickly, put on just a little bit of eyeliner before she threw on some black flats.

A knock on the door made her twist from the mirror in her room before telling whoever it was they could come in. Her mother poked her head in, making her smile softly in greeting before Alexia saw the frown that was on her mother's lips.

"What's wrong?" Alexia questioned before she knew the words left her lips.

"Henry was not in his room this morning.." Regina bit her lip to try to keep her worry concealed but Alexia knew her mother way to well to be fooled. She sighed, seemed there was gonna be another search party.. and here she thought she got through to him to stop making them worry like this!

"Ma, we'll find him.." Alexia tiredly murmured before turning to grab her phone after seeing her mother nod. She eyed her messed up bed after her mother left before snapping her fingers at the bed and watched with a smirk on her lips as it neatly made itself.

She shook her head as she opened up a text message to Hermione, wishing her a good morning and that she will see her at school before Alexia walked out of her room with her book bag hanging over one of her shoulders. Her little brother was on her mind as she hit her lip, and sighed in frustration.

Kid was so lucky that she had to go to school, though you could bet that he was gonna hear her mouth when she got home. Guilt came though, whispering that she was a hypocrite because she projected herself to her soulmate.. but that didn't come out in the open. She didn't do it on purpose or run away and make people worry over her. Sure she loved to play games with people.. but there is a line that you just didn't cross..

Alexia groaned again, Damn it kid, this is so not cool. Where did you run off to now?
