Author's Note: Hey, everyone some of the events, Kenzie's reasons behind her actions will be explained soon and some have already been explained, but I'll elaborate on them to make them clearer because people keep getting confused. So parts that people are confused about I'll explain in more detail in this chapter and future chapters. Also I might be taking this book down soon because I am wanting to enter it into The Wattys over on Wattpad once I've finished it, so if you have Wattpad you can read it there. My username is -Luminous-Jones. I say might because I might not have it complete and edited in time for the deadline. Also if I don't win it will return here. I'll still be updating herein the mean time though.

Kenzie was driving back to Storybrook and the silence was getting to her, so she decided to strike up a conversation. Plus this was a good time to talk with him and get to know him better.

"So what's it like to sail the oceans and see all those different, lands?" She asked as she turned a corner.

He replied by telling her all the places he had been, all the things he had seen and done and also about what it was like sailing across the oceans.

"That sounds awesome," she stated, now longing more for her dreams of adventure.

"It is," he agreed.

"The sea has always intrigued me with all that life swimming in it and all the many secrets it still holds," Kenzie began to explain.

"After I graduated college I wanted to go explore the ocean and world but I ended up working in a museum that has items other people have discovered. I like working there. It's just not the same you know. I want to go out there and find some treasure of my own, to rediscover something that was lost or find a new species in the sea but I've never had the chance. But I haven't given up on my dream. One day I'll set sail to see the world and explore the oceans," Kenzie added as she got lost in thought about what it would be like and of course those dreams where she had sailed the world with Killian.

Who was this girl? She knew about his ship and loved the sea and adventure. Even had in interest in buried treasure, Hook wondered.

"When I get my revenge you're more than welcome to join me, love, " he offered. "As repayment for helping me." He didn't even know why he was offering or why he was suddenly interested in finding more about this girl.

Yeah she was pretty but it was more than that, there was something intriguing about her. He had met and been with many women none of which he had loved or perticular cared much about except for one and that was his love Milah. The woman who's heart The Dark One had crushed, killing her right in front of him and then proceeded to cut off his hand.

All because she had been married to Rumplestiltskin (The Dark One) before he became The Dark One but she had left him for Killian. Which was what had set Killian on his path for vengeance.

So he didn't understand why he had a sudden interest in this woman, when he still wasn't over the death Milah or when he was still more occupied by his vengence than anything else.

"Thanks, but no," she stated, turning the wheel.

"You say you want to sail the world and find treasure of your own but yet I'm offering to give you the means to do that and you turn me down," Hook said, a little shocked that he actually felt hurt she was so quick in turning him down.

"Well yeah, I'm not just going to run away with some man I barely know am I?" Kenzie pointed out.

"Well maybe being alone in this car is a chance for us to get to know each other, " he said.

"Maybe," Kenzie agreed.

"Let's start with proper introductions then shall we," he suggested. "I'm Killian Jones or as I'm often refered to as colorful monkier..."

"I know Captain Hook," Kenzie finished.

"Aye, so you have heard of me?" He asked.

" Everyone has. Well, they don't know it's you exactly but they know of a Captain Hook. From the stories you look different, " she replied.

"So you know who I am, it's only fair I know your name?" He asked her his eyes fixed on her.

"Ke-Callie Robinson," she replied.

Damn it, Kenzie why did you nearly give your real name? She thought.

"Ok ,then Callie, why are you running off to Storybrook?" He asked her.

"That's my business," she stated firmly.

"You really like to make things difficult don't you and I was beginging to think you wanted to get more equainted," he stated, winking.

"Sorry," said Kenzie.

"Don't be sorry, love I just thought you wanted to get to know me, like I do you. It should be me who should be apologizing," he replied.

"Oh, I see," she said as she had only just realised. How hadn't she noticed I sooner? It was obvious.

"You see what?" He asked

"What you're up to," she answered.

"I don't know what you mean," he claimed.

"That this isn't you just you wanting to get to know me and make friends. This is you trying to flirt with me," She told him.

"Can you blame me?" He questioned, still acting flirty. "I'm stuck in this car with beautiful woman," he admitted.

"Shut up," she ordered, but she had smile on her face, and her cheeks blushed red. She hoped he couldn't see her face.

"Ah, see you like me flirting with you," he stated, much to her imbarashment because he obviously had seen the reaction in her face.

"No I don't," she reported, and looked away out the window.

"You can't deny it. It's abvious," he insisted, fixing his gaze on her again. She could feel his eyes looking at the back of her head.

"No it's not and I don't," she insisted, her cheeks cooling down, and the smile dropping from her face and she turned to look at him

"Ok, sure love. Even though we both know it's true."

She glared out the window again this time with lowered eyebrows. God, he's annoyingly persistent. If he thinks that calling me beautiful or playing his flirting tricks on me will work then he's wrong, she thought even though she did fancy him mainly down to her dream visions of him, but she wasn't going to reavel that anytime soon. And even though she didn't want to admit it she did kinda like him trying to flirt with her.

However, she had bad realitionships in the past, and she definitely wasn't the type of girl to sleep around. No she wanted a proper relationships, and if her dream visions carried on reaveling themselves to be true then she'd have that with him, but if that was the case she wanted to know him first, to know if she could trust him before jumping into a realtionship. And that would take time as she had trouble trusting people.

"So are you going to tell me why you're so eager to run away?"

"Why are you so eager to know?" She questioned.

"I'm not, I just want to make conversation, and I thought we was trying to get to know each other better."

"No you wanted to hit on me," she stated.

"And to get to know you," he added.

"Alrighty, then Captain. If you really want to know. I'm not running away. More like running towards," she told him and he looked at her threw narrow eyes.

" All my life I've felt like I've never fitted in. That was until I went to Storybrook that day and well it might seem crazy but I feel like Storybrook is where I belong. Where I'm meant to be, " she explained.

His eyes opened up all the way again, as his confusion diseapered, and then said, " That doesn't sound crazy. If you feel like that's where you should be, then thats where you should be."

"Thanks," she responded.

"How did you even find me anyway? You didn't even know my name or where I live," she pointed out.

*"I'm not sure. I think it was just a coincidence that we happened to be in the same place at the same time again," he replied.

*Or fate, Kenzie thought thinking back to her dream visions.

"I had been asking around and then I saw someone with purple hair and hoped it was you and it was," he added.


As they continued onto StoryBrook they chatted some more, and when they weren't they looked out the windows. Kenzie also stopped by a drive through to get some food as she had missed dinner. She got enough for herself and Hook because it was only fair to and she wanted to be kind.

There was still about an hour and half drive in front of them and Kenzie was becoming tired. She hoped she could keep her eyes open until they arrived in StoryBrook. Some time later they finally began to approach the town, much to Kenzie's delight. Hook would get his ship, and then she could get some sleep.


Author's note: *This can happen. People can meet each other twice by coincidence or fate or whatever you want to call it, without knowing anything about them or their name. It happened to a friend and me. We met briefly and didn't talk much. Then a couple years later we coincidently bumped into each other again when we some how ended up volunteering in the same place. This time we became friends but we didnt remember we had met before, but then later realised we had. So it can happen. People can bump into each other twice its not impossible. So its not impossible to imagine Killian found Kenzie again without knowing her name. He remembered what she looked like so that helped him to find her and had been asking around, but it was just a coincidence that they happened to be in the same place at the same time again. He saw a woman with purple hair but he didnt know it was her but decided to call out anyway in case hope this explains how he found her and as for why Kenzie didnt want him to know Emma was partly responsible for stealing his ship, I did say why in a previous chapter. I said that Kenzie didn't want to tell him because Emma had been nice to her and if she told him she would feel like she was betraying Emma's trust. Maybe I didn't make that clear so when I go back to edit I'll try and make it more clear. But I hope I've cleared up the confusion now.
