Thanks to Wildcat717 for the follow and favorite! It means a bunch! In this we find out a bit more about that necklace of Alexa's and also an interesting outfit and an encounter with Cora!. Also be warned! This chapter is a little gruesome in the encounter with Cora so if you are sensitive to stuff like that then do not read this chapter. One more thing! The new Title Picture for the story is actually a Manga I made of Alexa and Killian kissing! Let me know what you think of that, and enjoy the chapter! -StrictlyWhovian

It has been about a week since Killian and I were reunited here in Storybrooke. Cora had attempted to attack us multiple times during that week, though some how we managed to survived. Also during that time I had found an old necklace that was once my mothers and decided I would wear it at Killian and I's wedding in honor of my her.

I brush my short blond hair back into the best ponytail I can manage without the hairband slipping out. (A/N: #ShortHairedGirlProblems)
Yesterday, me, my brothers, sisters and Killian were playing truth or dare... Don't ask why, it was Izasha's idea. And I was dared to wear a pirate outfit all day today. I thought it was kind of cool and a cute idea since I grew up a pirate.

I recently discovered that it is in-fact my necklace that gives me the power to transform into a mermaid so if I ever get wet/sprayed in public I can just take my necklace off until I dry off. Always nice. My oh so pirate outfit consists of a short black leather vest, grey tank top, black jean shorts and black boots. Pirates wear a lot of black. Don't call us Emo though or you probably will get killed by Killian.

I get a call from Izasha asking when I will be to our meeting on my outfit, and simply respond I am on my way. I sprint on out of the house and make my way to granny's, avoiding any passers-by. I peak in thought the window to make sure no one was there except for them, only Granny and Ruby are there along with them but they already knew how I was going to be dress and it is surprisingly better than how Ruby some times dresses.

I walk in, neither Granny nor Ruby make eye contact with me, and head over to the table everyone is sitting at. I sit down in the empty seat and as I do I get a whistle from Killian. I smile at him. I feel Killian's hook slip under the table and wrap around my hand, his way of holding hands with me.

" Wow, I can't believe you actually did the dare! " Aliama exclaims.

" Well I actually kind of like it " I say giving Killian a wink.

Another thing that has to do with truth or dare, Rilen has dyed his hair purple! I don't think anyone noticed until I started giggling while staring at the purple mess atop his head. That was when EVERYONE noticed and just started taking pictures of his new hair style. Though I think he actually got some unnoticed stares from Ruby who seemed to like his hair.

We spend about an hour discussing defense plans against Cora. I learned that Killian was originally working with Cora until she betrayed him when she decided she wanted to kill the whole town. Including me. Killian says he is now, and always will be, on our side to make sure that Cora doesn't hurt anybody in town. I get a text from Emma.

' Hey, think you can go on patrol for Cora? I am working on a case right now ' Emma texts

' Sure, on it now ' I reply.

I say goodbye to the group and head out to the forest for the first half of patrol and the second half will be around town. About 5 minutes into the forest, I hear a twig snap. I quickly turn around and catch Killian following me. I look at him both angered he followed me, and confused as to WHY he followed me. I walk up to him, still scanning my surroundings.

" What are you doing here? " I question him.

" Well you didn't think I would let you go alone now did you, Love? " He says. I sigh and continue walking, shaking my head.

I take his hand and take out the gun from my pocket in case Cora shows. Of course, I wouldn't shoot her, it is only for effect and to make me look tougher instead of the weakling I am. I also have a sword handing from my belt loop. I feel a strong wind blow, like a hurricane, but there are no clouds out to indicate a storm. I whip my head around and see a puff of smoke. Cora appears with a big smile on her face.

" Well well now, working with them are you now hook? " Cora says disappointedly though still has that creepy smile.

" After you threatened to kill them and actually attempted to, it may or may not have changed my thought about working with you " Killian grumbles angrily.

I slip Killian my sword while Cora is distracted. I point my gun at Cora who doesn't react but is more staring at my necklace. Confused, I tuck my necklace into my shirt and her gaze goes to my gun. I look at Killian and we take one step forward, expecting Cora to step back but she in-fact takes a step forward as well. She keeps getting closer until she is staring me right in the face. My gun still loaded and ready to fire if absolutely necessary. She quickly takes the sword from Killian, slashes me in the stomach and uses her magic to send me flying backwards. I can feel blood running down my side, the pain is too much so I curl up into a ball but when I look up, Cora is being knocked back with an electric current. I carefully stand back up and look around but my focus quickly shifts from my surroundings to my stomach which some how has completely healed. I grab my necklace and look at it. A glow emits from it and Cora experiences another shock of electricity.

" You and that idiotic necklace! Once I get my hands on it, this town is done for! " Cora exclaims, then looks at Killian. " But for now, I still can kill your precious fiancée "

She raises her hands and creates a ball of fire. I dash in-front of Killian and put my arms up to defend him. As I do so, she tosses the fireball and it bounces back at her. Angry and injured she storms off, taking a few steps before turning back and staring at my necklace once more. I can feel her pulsating rage from the distance she is away.

" This isn't over Alexandra Charter! " She shouts " And when we meet again, it will be the end of you! "

She disappears in smoke, and I look at Killian in fear and in confusion as to what happened with my necklace and why. I slip my necklace off and dangle it with the chain wrapped around my fingers. I look up from it and am quickly pulled into a kiss by Killian. I don't argue and go along with it. I assume it is from saving his life, or it could just be that he wanted to kiss me. Either way I am fine.

I put my necklace back on after it starts to glow. I figure that maybe some how it still is connected to me even when I am not wearing it, so maybe if Cora DID manage to take it I could still defeat her and always know where she is.

Killian and I head back to the sheriff's station to tell Emma about our encounter with Cora. Emma explains that after she had finished her case she went to Granny's and caught Rilen and Ruby flirting. I smile at it and just imagine how cute they would be together. Though I do have a feeling that Granny will be very annoyed as Ruby will probably be spending more time with Rilen than working.

" Give it 5 days " I say jokingly about their "Relationship'

" You think they will only date for about 5 days and then break up? " Emma asks sadly.

" No, I think that after 5 days of dating they will say they are serious or something and want to get married " I sigh, again joking.

We all laugh and I ask Emma if she knows anything about the crystal in my necklace. She shakes her head and we go over defense plans, like sealing the town with a magic barrier that can only be broken by blood magic, or perhaps set up unbreakable traps that not even blood magic could break and just keep her prisoner.

I walk over to the calendar on the wall and mark off today, as I didn't earlier, and sigh at the fact there is only 24 hours until Killian and I's wedding. I see Emma walk out of the room and Killian comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. I nudge into him and receive a kiss on the cheek. I can just imagine dancing with Killian, all dressed up. Happy. Nothing will ever separate us and we won't let one another get hurt.

We walk home, hand in hand as the sun sets. I know it seems very cliché or like a movie or whatever but I guess its true. The mood and the view does seem very much like a movie, and nothing could ever make this moment better.

That is it for this chapter, was it a shock to you guys? Also what do you think of the idea of Rilen and Ruby becoming a couple? Please leave me some feedback. I hope you have/had a great day! -StrictlyWhovian
