killian jones/hook: hook took a drag off of his pipe and let it out slowly. He noticed a sillhouette in the shadows "i've been waiting for you, little princess." he said, taking a sip of liquor.

Aurora: "You have?" she raised an eyebrow.

killian jones/hook: "Mmhmm. You're tracks are way too deep. You're not good at looking for someone without a trace. Noticibly calmer, Hook took yet another drag.

Aurora: "Who says I was trying to be discrete?"

killian jones/hook: "And why wouldn't you, princess?"

Aurora: "Because I needed to talk to you, and to get that, I needed your attention."

killian jones/hook: "Hmm..'' taking a deep sip of alcohol, he said "Wanted to talk to me? Oh a lot of girls do, but no one's gone to these measures. What do you want?"

Aurora: "To give you a warning," she smiled simply.

killian jones/hook: ''which is?''

Aurora: "Basically just that the CIA know's who you are, what you do, and are going to try to stop you."

killian jones/hook: "tell them good luck."

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow, "You seem very blase for someone who just found out the government is after them."

killian jones/hook: "t's called heroine, sweetie. Now look, you go tell your little friends whatever you want, but I can move."

Aurora: "My little friends?" she looked the perfect amount of confused and interested.

killian jones/hook: "Nothing, nothing. Look, if you're really not a CIA adjent, and I'm not saying that I suspect anything, you'll come ere and have a drink. YOu're not on duty, after all."

Aurora: Aurora showed no outwards signs of panic, she was too good for that. But inside she was FREAKING. People do stupid things when they're drunk, they say things they're not supposed to. And she knew how strong the stuff he had was. This was a no-win situation. "Alright," she shrugged and sat across from him.

killian jones/hook: "Hmm... so if you're not a CIA adgent, then who are you?" his words were slightly slurred

Aurora: "I-I'm no one really."

killian jones/hook: "really? You don't even have a name?"

Aurora: She laughed, "It's Aurora."

killian jones/hook: "Good, I was getting a bit worried for your mother's sanity for a second. And that's saying something, i mean, my mother gave me a name like Killian."

Aurora: "That is a horrible name," she teased. "What was she thinking?"

killian jones/hook: "mmm... personally, I think the drugs they gave her for the pain might have been a little bit too strong."

Aurora: "Just a bit." Aurora did something she knew she shouldn't have, she took a drink.

killian jones/hook: "Apparently it's an italian name. I think it's a morphine name, though."

Aurora: "Ah, just like Aurora. I mean who names someone that?" She took another sip.

killian jones/hook: "At least Aurora is something in nature. I mean, what the hell is a Killian? IS it a bird, is it a drug, is it some kind of homicide? I don't know!"\

Aurora: Aurora burst out laughing, something about the way he said it was just so funny. "So you think Hook is a better name?"

killian jones/hook: "Definately not, but, at least it makes sense." he lifted up his hand, revealing a hook.

Aurora: "So the rumors are true then?" she asked. She wanted to smack herself for taking another drink. She knew she shouldn't, that it would cloud her judgement, but something about the situation was too intriguing, she kept going, her mind getting fuzzier and fuzzier.

killian jones/hook: he nodded "they are. GOt my hand chopped off. Alcohol numbs the pain, though. And that's how the stealing got started.."

Aurora: "From a common thief to a mob boss, how does that happen?" she was genuinely intrigued.

killian jones/hook: "Well, addiction starts... i mean, at first it was just the pain, but then, you know, once the pain was gone, I still needed it... so I kept stealing even when I didn't need it and eventually I killed someone. Accidental of course, but, you know, after that, I wasn't really afraid of doing anything."

Aurora: Her mind flashed to the first time she had killed someone, a criminal trying to murder her...she understood. "That's...quite the story."

killian jones/hook: "Yep. And I haven't stopped drinking since. And gained quite a group of friends." he raised an eyebrow "What's your story?"

Aurora: "My story? Oh..." she tried to fight the fuzziness of her brain to find her cover story. "My dad was...not a fan of the law, I guess you could say. When he got caught I disappeared and now I just do...odd jobs for different...interesting people."

killian jones/hook: "Interesting people?" For a person so drunk, he was strangely clear-headed "So who told you to do this job?"

Aurora: She just smiled, "If I was allowed to tell you that, I would have."

killian jones/hook: he downed his drink "Ah. Of course." He took a drag out of his crack pipe and sighed "Ok, so you go back to your little friends and tell them that They can try, okay?"'

Aurora: Aurora just smiled and leaned in, "And what if I don't want to go back?"

killian jones/hook: "Oh, but you will. You're too loyal for that, officer."

Aurora: Aurora knew there would be no point in denying it. "What gave me away?"

killian jones/hook: "If I told you that, the other officers would change it next time. You're not the first to go after me. You're the first to go back alive, though. So go deliver the message and then we'll talk about staying."

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow, "Staying?"

killian jones/hook: "Hey, you said you didn't want to go back." he laughed "Don't worry, I don't actually think you'll stay. I'd have to kill you if you tried...''

Aurora: "And why's that?" it was probably the alcohol making her ask, if she was in her right mind she would have gotten the heck out of there the second she was caught.

killian jones/hook: ''because your friends (the police) don't like me very much."

Aurora: "So you'd have to kill me because my 'friend's' don't like you? Uh huh, that makes sense..."

killian jones/hook: "yeah well i'm a real sensible person. That's why my files say 'psycopath." he rolled his eyes

Aurora: She laughed. "I know, I've read it. It also said 'highly dangerous' and 'never let your guard down'."

killian jones/hook: "I think you've failed, then. Because, well, I pick-pocketed your gun a couple minutes ago. You should have caught that, officer."

Aurora: Checking her inside jacket pocket she realized he was right. "Well, well well, just what was your hand doing there?"

killian jones/hook: He stared at her innocently, wagging her gun in front of her face "Well, not what you're thinking. YOu must think soooo highly of me." he drawled.

Aurora: "Because you're just sooo innocent, right?"

killian jones/hook: he leaned closer to her face "Completely."

Aurora: She must have been drunker than she thought, she reasoned. It was the only explanation for her...stupidity was the only word for it. She muttered an, "Mh hm," and leaned in as well. Her eyes closing, she kissed him.

killian jones/hook: "Watch it officer..." he whispered after a couple seconds "Can't get attached to a criminal."

killian jones/hook: "You'd better go before my amazing charm destroys every ounce of innocence that you have."

Aurora: "A bit full of yourself, aren't you? I think I can handle it."

killian jones/hook: "full of myself? yeah, but you'd still better get out of my hair.

killian jones: "because, you know, i don't trust you. You're not the first they've sent. Not the prettiest either. (LIES) So i'm not convinced."

Aurora: She sighed and set down her glass. "Fine then. It was a pleasure, Captain," she said the last word with a bit of teasing.

killian jones: he waved and winked at her before walking off.

Aurora: She enjoyed the view a little too much as he waked away, but as soon as she was alone she dialed the number on her phone. "Mission... successful, I'm on my way back."

killian jones: at the police station, her friend, Cinderella (ella) smiled at her "Oh my gosh, I just looked at Killian Jones' files..." she blushed "H-he's not bad looking, is he?"

Aurora: Aurora put a scandalized look on her face. "Ella! He's a criminal!" she said to herself as much as to her friend.

killian jones: "I never said he was... my type." she said, flushing a bright red "Um-just pointing out the obvious..."

Aurora: "Oh, and who's 'type' is he then?" she raised an eyebrow and smiled.

killian jones: "well...i don't know, it said he had a wife on file."

Aurora: Aurora's eyes winded, "He did? Let me see!"

killian jones: she nodded and held out his papers. There was a woman, Mihla jones. She was quite pretty, if a little rough around the edges.

Aurora: "Oh...oh wow. She was pretty. What happened to her?" Aurora handed Ella back the papers.

killian jones: "oh, let's see..." her eyes widened "Died about three months ago. Killed by a cop who was infiltrating his... place."

Aurora: "Three months?" it shocked her that his wife died that short time ago. It shocked her that he had a wife in the first place.

killian jones: "Why?" asked Ella "It doesn't really surprise me..."

Aurora: "Just...he didn't seem like someone who's wife died three months ago..." it sounded lame even to her, but she didn't know what to say.

killian jones: "didn't he? well he is a psycopath... mayybe he doesn't even have emotions."

Aurora: "Yeah, probably," she nodded her head. "So do you know if The Head wants to see me?" The Head was their nickname for the boss.

killian jones: "Oh I don't konw! I would imagine that he probably does... i mean, what happened with hook?"

Aurora: "What was expected I guess. I gave him the warning and then got back as soon as I could." It was only partly lieing, she reasoned.

killian jones: "Are you..." ella squinted "Drunk?"

Aurora: Aurora faked innocence, but she knew Ella could totally see through it, "N-no. Of course not!"

killian jones: "You're lying! What did he do to you?"

Aurora: "What do you mean 'what did he do'?"

killian jones: "I mean i've never seen you drunk and...well...you did go there, i figured he must have drugged you or something."

Aurora: "No," she sighed, giving in. "He accused me of being CIA and said if I wasn't I'd have a drink with him. I didn't want to blow my cover."

killian jones: "Cia if you didn't have a drink with hiM? How does that work? And why didnt' he kill you?"

Aurora: "I don't understand the logic of a psychopathy? I mean that's like asking why he hit on me! I just don't know!" Aurora slapped her hand over her mouth. "See? This is why I don't drink."

killian jones: Ella just raised an eyebrow "I see who's type he is now."

Aurora: "What's that supposed to mean?" she snapped.

killian jones: "I think you know." she said with a smile

Aurora: "It was ONE kiss okay?! ONE!"

killian jones: "A kiss? noted..." her smile only got bigger

Aurora: "What? Oh, damn it!" she mentally smacked herself. "Ella, you can't tell anyone that! It was a mistake, a drunken mistake and it meant nothing okay?"

killian jones: "I know! Just...don't get involved with a criminal and I won't have to." she smiled "Now you should go tell the head and tell him the whole story. If you have to, just tell him that you were trying to seduce him."

Aurora: Aurora laughed at that. "Me? Seduce someone? Yeah right," she rolled her eyes.

killian jones: "Hey, it's a resonable excuse."

Aurora: "Or, how about I don't mention it, and just go home to sleep this off then come back tomorrow? Good plan."

killian jones: "Ok, bye!"

Aurora: Aurora groaned in the morning. She'd only had one hangover before, and it hadn't been nearly this bad. She took some aspirin and had some ginger ale to help it. All morning she was dreading her meeting with The Head. Those nerves hadn't left by the time she knocked on the door.

killian jones: The head opened the door "Hello, Aurora! Do you have your report ready?"

Aurora: "Yes, I typed it up this morning."

killian jones: "Good! I'm glad to hear that...so...sit down!"

Aurora: Aurora smiled nervously as she sat and handed Snow the paper.

killian jones: Snow took the paper and looked it over "So he was actually compliant?"

Aurora: "Yes. I gave him the warning and cover story you told me to, then got out of there as quickly as possible."

killian jones: "interesting. That hasn't ever been his style before..."

Aurora: "What do you mean?"

killian jones: "well generally he tries to seduce the subject and once someone is sent to tell him that we were going to arrest him, he moves... so I've got a job for you."

Aurora: Aurora could have smacked herself at her stupidity. Of course. His style was to be the flirty, perfect, sexy, bastard. "Oh?"

killian jones: "Well, i'd like you to go back in there. If he hasn't used his usual approach, he might not be gone. If he isn't, I want you to arrest him there."

Aurora: "Oh...uh..." she had no idea how to respond.

killian jones: "What?" she asked

Aurora: "Nothing...I just...wasn't expecting this."

killian jones: "Oh! Well I expect that it shouldn't be a problem?"

Aurora: "No! Of course not," she smiled.

killian jones: "Then I should see you tomorrow."

Aurora: "Yes! Right...tomorrow. I'll head out to the field then." She had no idea what else to say and she awkwardly left Snow's office. "Ella, I'm going to die."

killian jones: "Why?" asked ella

Aurora: "I have to go arrest Hook!"

killian jones: "And?"

Aurora: "HELLO! You know why that's a problem!"

killian jones: "Well I know that you were drunk and you kissed him but...you don't...have feelings for him, right?"

Aurora: "No! It's just...awkward...And besides, what if he tells The Head about what -really- happened?"

killian jones: "Nah, I doubt it. He's too proud for that, and it wouldn't fit his flirty personality..."

Aurora: "And you would know all about his 'flirty personality'..." she rolled her eyes

killian jones: "yes I would, actually. I met him once a few years ago, before he was a mob...er...person. He was robbing a store and I assaulted him. though to tell the truth, he wasn't very flirty...i've just read that in his files.."

Aurora: "Oh...interesting." She sighed, "I guess I go better get this over with..."

killian jones: "yeah...see you later!"

Aurora: Aurora changed into street clothes from her suit. She through her hair up in a pony tail and sighed as she headed over to the same place she had been last night. It was stupid to go alone, but if she requested back up Snow would know she had been lying, and that would risk her job.

Aurora: "Hello?" she called into the room.

killian jones: He stepped behind her "Never thought I'd see you again, princess." he raised an eyebrow "I did warn you that no one ever comes out..."

Aurora: She jumped a bit at his sudden appearance. "I remember."

killian jones: "Hmmm...you know, I kind of liked you... wish I didn't have to kill you."

Aurora: "Oh really? I feel so flattered." She pulled her gun on him and aimed it right at his heart.

killian jones: He laughed "You really think that's going to work? really?"

Aurora: "There's two of us here and I'm the one with the gun. Yeah, I think it might. Now, you're going to answer a question."

killian jones: he yawned "Not that I believe you, princess, but what's the question?"

Aurora: "Why did you let me go last night?"

killian jones: "I'm cruel, but I'm not heartless." he shrugged "I was going to give you a chance."

killian jones: "Just like I gave your little friend a chance...''

Aurora: "My friend?" she questioned, highly confused.

killian jones: "What was her name? Hmm, well she was a pretty little blonde girl.. ah! It was Cinderella. Quite a strange name if you ask me, but I so easily could have killed her. I gave her a chance."

Aurora: Aurora was shocked for a moment. "H-How did you know we were friends?"

killian jones: "You think that I'm stupid? I know everything about you. Every single strand that I can pull to make you lose your mind. I know what makes you tick, and that's why you're not going to kill me."

Aurora: "Y-yeah right! I bet it was just a lucky guess!" But her tone reflected her doubts.

killian jones: "YOu sure about that? Are you sure that you want to take the risk of that?" he circled around her "This is why they call me a psycopahth, or did they forget to tell you about that part? This is why they call me mad, and this is why no one ever comes out alive."

Aurora: Aurora stood her ground. There was no way she was going to let this guy get to her. This time she was completely in her right mind and he wasn't going to mess with her head. "I'm sure."

killian jones: "You're smarter than the others, you know? But you're wrong. You obviously don't care about anyone except yourself, and in that case, you can leave. I will kill your family, though... And the worst part is you don't know if I'm lying or not. If you stay here to die, you'll never know if you could have lived... however, if you leave now, I can kill them at any time, and it'll be at the worst possible moment. If you leave here alive, you'll never know if you have made the worst mistake in your entire life."

Aurora: "I don't have any family."

killian jones: "Nope. I know who you did have... a brother, two sisters, a mom, a dad... and someday you'll have family again... you're pretty enough... good luck keeping them, though."

Aurora: A chill ran though her. "I'll stay!" she blurted before she could think.

killian jones: "I know." he stared at her "And for that, I'm sorry." The flirtatious mask was gone, replaced with some kind of twisted, broken person "I guess you'll get to meet my friend Rumpelstiltskin..."

Aurora: She wasn't sure what that meant, but it didn't sound good. "What?" Then something clicked. "And, wait a second, why shouldn't I just shoot you now? I still have my gun!"

killian jones: "Yeah, you must really think i'm stupid... because I've got people who will... resume my duties if you kill me."

Aurora: She froze, processing this. Slowly she lowered her gun. "Who's Rumpelstiltskin?"

killian jones: "JUst...a friend of mine."

Aurora: "Why do you want me to stay? Why not just kill me now?"

killian jones: "Remember? Serial Killer? I have my methods! If I broke the pattern now, well, it wouldn't be good."

Aurora: "Pattern?" she raised an eyebrow

killian jones: "Definition of serial killer... they kill people repeatedly, each in the same way."

Aurora: "Yes, but...how? How are you going to kill me?" she asked, voice unsteady.

killian jones: "Hmm...haven't figured it out yet. We'll see."

Aurora: Aurora just gulped. So this was how it would end.

killian jones: "But I'll wait a while. Love to draw out the murders and pull people's strings just to see how they tick..." a tiny bit of sanity returned to his eyes and he added "And that is when I know i've completely lost it..."

Aurora: She looked at him with concern, "No, you haven't completely lost it." Although Aurora was starting to question her sanity since she was actually trying to make her future murder feel better.

killian jones: "no, I have, I've definately lost it, but I can't help it anymore... crossed that bridge a few miles back..." he shook his head "Come with me."

Aurora: Aurora just followed obediently. "If you think you've lost it, why don't you try to help it?"

killian jones: "Oh come on, I'm already going to jail. What's the point of stopping all of this if it's going to get me arrested?"

Aurora: "I...don't know," she sighed. "I just...everyone deserves a chance to be happy, no matter their past," Aurora shrugged.

killian jones: "After I've killed so many people, you still think that I've got a chance at happiness? I really doubt that, and anyway, I'm doing this because of happiness... look where it got me..."

Aurora: "Killing makes you happy?" maybe he was as sick as he claimed...

killian jones: "What? Oh no, princess, I don't mean it that way. You make me sound actually sick... I'm not technically mentally ill..."

Aurora: For some reason she found that funny. Her murderer was making her laugh...what kind of message was that sending? "Didn't you just say you were insane?" she half joked.

killian jones: "insane, not retarted." he rolled his eyes "Insanity is caused by things in life. Sick people are born that way."

Aurora: "Okay, Lady Gaga," she rolled her eyes and smiled at her own joke.

killian jones: He stared at her "Is that some kind of...iced cream or something?"

Aurora: "...She's a singer...she sings a song called Born This Way..."

killian jones: "So...she sings about how people are born retarted? Weird..."

Aurora: Aurora couldn't speak for a minute she was laughing too hard. "Not exactly..." she finally breathed.

killian jones: "I don't..." he tilted his head "Whatever, here we are."

killian jones: there was an older man in a cage... but upon closer look, he was very strange looking...

Aurora: Aurora didn't know who he was, but she knew instantly that the man was BAD NEWS. Instinctively she grabbed onto Hook. "Um..." she gulped out.

killian jones: "Meet Rumpelstiltskin..." muttered Hook, hatred burning in his eyes

killian jones: Rumpel let out a strange giggle "Hello, dearie!"

Aurora: "Hi?" she said worriedly.

killian jones: he gave a tiny bow "Rum-pel-stiltskin. Nice to meet you."

Aurora: "Why...am I here?"

killian jones: Hook shrugged "Serial killer, remember? he's how it usually works."

killian jones: "You've got a choice... you can either help me with... whatever I do, or you can always stay with him."

Aurora: Aurora looked between the two men. "So my choice is which psycho do I become personal assistant to?"

killian jones

he laughed "If I could suggest one, it wouldn't be psycotic one, but then again, so is he..."

"What, because of Mihla?" asked rumpel with a giggle

Aurora: Aurora glanced between the two of them again. On one hand, Rumple was FREAKY and was just generally giving her the creeps. On the other hand was Hook who may or may not be insane, but can hold a conversation and doesn't give off that psychotic killer vibe. Her choice seemed easy, and his leather pants weren't helping. "I guess...I guess I'll just stay with Hook..."

killian jones: Hook nodded and pulled her out of the room quickly "Good... they never last long with him..."

Aurora: "What? Someone would actually choose to stay with him? He's...creepy..."

killian jones: "Well, yes... the one girl, Belle... and several others. They never end well, either... and somehow, he's never really what kills them..."

Aurora: "Oh...and what happens to those who pick you?"

killian jones: "They usually live for a while... some even stay alive and get out of here."

Aurora: She paused for a moment to process. "So what are you going to have me do?"

killian jones: "Well, first... I'm going to send a note to the police office saying that I've killed you, and then we're going to go rob a store... with a good friend of mine."

Aurora: "But why would you care if they thought I was dead?...Wait a second, Rob?!"

killian jones: "Hmm, well if they think you're dead, then they can believe that I killed you, which generally keeps the police away for a while, and keeps my kill rate going... i've never actually intentionally killed anyone. But tehy don't need to know that."

Aurora: "Oh, good to know. Now you're going to make me help rob someone?!"

killian jones: "Yes. And actually, we're going to be robbing your police office."

Aurora: "MY OFFICE?! But-they're not stupid, they'll recognize me!"

killian jones: "oh they would... but we're of course going to cover your face..."

Aurora: "Oh yes! That just fixes everything!" her panicked voice matched her panicked expression.

killian jones

"Oh come on, live in the adventure! Come 'ere, Belle..."

A beautiful girl with brown locks walked up to them. Hook wrapped his arm around her shoulder "Come on, Belle, we're going on an adventure."

Aurora: Aurora just gave him a look. "What? Are you trying to make me jealous or something?"

killian jones: "What do you mean by that? I didn't realize that there was anything to be jealous about... she's not mine, anyway..." he gave her a distasteful look

killian jones/hook: belle stared at him and then glanced at Aurora "You're new, huh?"

Aurora: "I guess...just what I'm new at is what I'm concerned about."

killian jones/hook: "Criminal activity." said Belle with a sigh "I'm rather new too..."

Aurora: "So...when moron over here says you're not his...you chose Rumpelstiltskin?"

killian jones/hook: she nodded "He's not as bad...as you might think." She shook her head "he's kind to me. Much kinder than this man.."

Aurora: "It was honestly a lose/lose choice if you ask me," Aurora gave Hook a pointed look.

killian jones/hook

Hook shrugged "Never said it wasn't..."

"Why he does this I have no idea." said belle with a sigh

Aurora: "Why do you do this? If I'm just going to end up dead anyway...why have me do this?"

killian jones/hook

Hook thought about it for a moment "I have absolutely no idea." he didn't look truthful, though.

belle shook her head "that's what he always says..."

Aurora: "So why should I do this? It's against my morals and you have absolutely no hold over me if I'm just going to die anyway," she pointed out.

killian jones/hook: "remember our agreement?" he rolled his eyes "You seemed pretty interested earlier."

Aurora: "Well there's no one I really care about so..." she shrugged. "You're going to have to think of something better."

killian jones/hook: "hmm..." he shrugged "I could always leave you to rumpel if you want."

Aurora: She shrugged again, "Apparently Rumple's nice."

killian jones/hook: "In belle's opinion. But he takes a certain liking to Belle.. other girls." The look of pure hatred returned to his eyes "Don't last so long."

Aurora: Something about the look in his eye frightened her. "So...what exactly are we going to do?"

killian jones/hook: "Nothing much... just you know, rob the CIA." he said, his voice void of emotion.

Aurora: "Oh is that all? Rob them of what exactly? And why the CIA?"

killian jones/hook: "Files." he muttered "And CIA because I want my files gone."

Aurora: She hated to admit that was probably a good idea... "And me being an officer and knowing the inner workings of the building is just perfect, right?"

killian jones/hook: "Right." he said, still completely in his own mind since the conversation of Rumpel "That'll be perfect."

Aurora: "What are you going to have me do, exactly? Like what do you want to know about it?"

killian jones/hook: "Well, you're going to show me where my files are. I'll take them, then get on the computers and delete everything on me."

Aurora: "Simple enough. When?"

killian jones/hook: "Now."

Aurora: Her eyes widened. "Now?" She was going to commit moral suicide now?

killian jones/hook: "Yep." he winked, emotion returning to his eyes... but they seemed somehow covered as if he was trying not to show...pain? Either way, he looked like he was a raving psycopath. "Let's go, princess."

Aurora: "O...kay..." the look in his eyes scared her. What scared her the most was that she found that look...attractive.

killian jones/hook: He motioned for Belle to follow them and sat in a sleek black car.

Aurora: "Fancy," she mumbled as Hook slid in next to her. For some reason she instantly noticed how close they were.

killian jones/hook: "Yes. Well if I'm going to steal money, i'm going to have to spend it one something." he began driving, but his driving skills weren't the best. They almost crashed three tiimes... of course, Hook had been drinking a bit, so that probably had something to do with it.

Aurora: If she was being honest, Aurora was scared for her life. She was clinging onto Hook for dear life, her eyes as big as a dear in headlights.

killian jones/hook: Hook was laughing, if a bit hysterically the entire time, but eventually he stopped... taking up three parking spaces. He detached himself from Aurora and opened hte door for her.

Aurora: Aurora stepped out on shaky legs. She'd take a maniac behind the wheel over robbing the CIA any day.

killian jones/hook: he took a drink out of his flask and put it in his pocket. A gun concealed in his pocket, he knocked on the door...

Aurora: Aurora looked at him in astonishment. "We're going to rob the CIA and your big plan is to walk in the front door?" she whispered franticly.

killian jones/hook: "Yup." he rolled his eyes "I don't really feel like crawling in through a window.. let's see what happens."

Aurora: Aurora's heart was racing, her adrenalin pounding. "What? I don't even get a gun or...or anything?!"

killian jones/hook: "Nah. You play the victim, okay?"

Aurora: "What? What are you going to do?!"

killian jones/hook: He took the gun out of his pocket and pressed it to her head "This." He sighed "You know, Aurora... there are a lot of things that you can get at gunpoint. Let's see how much your ''cia'' is willing to pay for you... in files of course." A crazy light lit his eyes... which didnt' fit him

Aurora: Aurora froze. Her mouth barely moved when she breathed, "They're not going to give you anything."

killian jones/hook: "mmm... you'd be surprised. This is not the first time I've done this. Expecially when the gun could so easily turn on them."

Aurora: Aurora just gulped. "Who is it?" Ella's voice called over the speaker.

killian jones/hook: "Oh it's Aurora, dearie." said hook in a mocking voice

Aurora: "What?" Ella's confused voice came from inside.

killian jones/hook: "Sweetheart, I know you're not that stupid. The name is Killian Jones, but you are going to let me in, because I'll kill your friend if you don't."

Aurora: Ella said nothing for a moment. Aurora tried to send the mental message to not let him in, but Ella must not have gotten it because after a moment the door clicked, signaling it's unlocking.

killian jones/hook: Hook dropped Aurora on the ground, though he still had the gun tightly in his grasp "Thank you, sweetheart... I won't do anything too damaging... i just need to take a few files."

Aurora: Ella just gave Hook a dirty glare. Her eyes widened when Ella saw Aurora run in after him. Ella tried with all her might to tell Aurora to just run without alerting Hook.

Aurora: Ella just gave Hook a dirty glare. Her eyes widened when Ella saw Aurora run in after him. Ella tried with all her might to tell Aurora to just run without alerting Hook.

killian jones/hook: Hook rolled his eyes "no need to be so snide, I'm not hurting you!" he sighed dramatically and said "So, where are the files?"

Aurora: "What files?" Ella said, fully knowing what he was talking about.

killian jones/hook: "You know exactly what I mean." he said, a hint of danger and aggrivation in the undertones of his voice.

killian jones/hook: he grabbed Aurora again "You know, if you don't want to be reasonable, there's an easy fix..."

Aurora: Aurora glanced up at him. "P-please...Ella..." she said. Ella really looked at her. Aurora got scared occasionally, but she was never panicked. But panic was exactly what Ella saw on her face. Just like Aurora wanted her to. Aurora had no idea why she was helping Hook. Couldn't she just die honorably?

killian jones/hook: "Yes, P-Please Ella." Hook didn't know why she was helping him, but... he didn't really care.

Aurora: Ella didn't like Hook mocking her friend. But if he made Aurora panicked, Ella knew it was with good reason. "Desk drawer in the safe in the back."

killian jones/hook: "Why thank you." He walked off towards the drawer "and... Killian Jones! Perfect." He grabbed a few other forms that weren't his own as well...

Aurora: Aurora just stood where she was, frozen to the spot. Her hands were shaking, but it wasn't from nerves...it was with adrenalin.

killian jones/hook: He stared at a file for a bit too long, one named "mihla Jones" then cleared his throat "Well, I think we're done here."

Aurora: Aurora gave Ella one last glace goodbye before following Hook out the door.

killian jones/hook: Hook, who was obsessively glancing at the files muttered "Well, see, that wasn't so hard..."

Aurora: Aurora hated the rush she felt. She hated the uncontrollable smile that spread across her face. She hated the high she was feeling. And most of all, she hated herself for enjoying it. "Not so hard? That was great!"

killian jones/hook: He stared at her "Great? Wouldn't expect you to feel that..." he shook his head "Well I'm not complaining." His heart pumped too quickly... he wasn't used to seing HER name again...mihla...he couldn't do it... He felt his soul lose it's grasp on it's sanity once more and an insane laugh squeezed itself out of his throat "I'm going to have to agree. Now Let's go home so I can show mr. Rumpel the news." He continued laughing.. he couldn't stop... not after seeing her name again..her picture...

Aurora: Aurora laughed too. It was completely ridiculous, the whole situation. "Then what?" she asked.

killian jones/hook: His laughing turned into almost a squeezed sob as quickly as it came. He grew silent "Then... I don't know... we do something else."

Aurora: "Like what?" she asked, smiling up at him.

killian jones/hook: She really was quite pretty... her caramel hair curled around her face, making her look pure...like a princess. He put his hand on the side of her face, and guilt immediately spread through his body "Put you somewhere where you can't get hurt..."

Aurora: She looked at him confused, "Put me somewhere?"

killian jones/hook: "Yeah..." he pulled his hand away, guilty... he didn't want to think that anyone else was pretty...but she was, and now that he had noticed it, he wouldn't be able to stop, either. "Anywhere but here."

Aurora: "You've lost me. Where are you putting me and why?"

killian jones/hook: He cringed and shook his head, unable to say anything as much as he wanted to. His throat constricted, so he stopped trying to speak. He only shook his head continuously.

Aurora: She looked at him with concern. Resting a hand on his shoulder she asked, "Hook?"

killian jones/hook: He flinched "let's go." he muttered "I just mean that someone like you doesn't need to be in this line of business. I needed you for this one, but I won't make you do it anymore." After Mihla, he didn't feel like letting another girl die...

Aurora: "No...I-" it was one thing to think it, it was another to say it out loud, "I liked it."

killian jones/hook: he raised an eyebrow, the least bit of sanity returning to his eyes "You...liked it?" he stared at her, unable to break his gaze "Why is that?" he wondered if her heart beat so much faster like his own when he did something horrible... it was the only thing that was ok after Mihla and he couldn't make himself stop.

Aurora: "I-I don't know. It's insane...and stupid..and a rush! Just...breaking the rules after being so good for so long. My heart just won't stop racing!"

killian jones/hook: "I know the feeling!" he exclaimed "It's like the most explosive high...and it's addictive too..."

Aurora: "Exactly! It's a high!...addictive?" Oh no. That was the last thing she needed. One was bad enough, she shouldn't do it again...but she feared it might already bee too late. One dose and she feared she was already an addict. Something about the whole after effect she was feeling right now made her crave more already. And having someone right here who could give it to her just made it worse.

killian jones/hook: "In that case... mayb ewe'll do something else later, but... we'll need to plan it of course." he took a drag from his pipe and began driving again.

Aurora: "Really?" she hated that she sounded so eager. She hated that she was so eager.

killian jones/hook: "Yep." he attempted to gain the high that the robbery had made, but his pipe just wouldn't do it in the same way. With a sigh, he said "Maybe I'll break into winnco again... but.. that's boring."

Aurora: "Then what isn't boring? Robbing a casino?" she joked.

killian jones/hook: "Could work. Not the hardest thing ever..." Drugs weren't enough anymore..so he needed more every time... therefore he needed the money to do so. Sometimes he wondered what Mihla would think of all of this drinking and drugs and crime...

Aurora: "I-Hook, I was joking." She couldn't believe he thought she was serious...Had she been serious?

killian jones/hook: "well it's not a bad idea. Unless you're...chicken?"

killian jones/hook: he took yet another huff of his pipe, his mind growing fuzzier and fuzzier, and his driving becoming even worse.

Aurora: Aurora hardly noticed his driving anymore. "Let's do it, then," she huffed.

killian jones/hook: his voice was becoming heavily slurred "Okay... tomorrow, then..."

Aurora: "Tomorrow it is then!" she smiled. With a Cheshire grin she reached into his jacket pocket and took his flask. She took a long pull from it. Well...this would be interesting.

killian jones/hook: He stopped at his house and somehow made it to his door, the world spinning around him...

Aurora: Aurora stumbled after him, the rest of the contents of his flask long gone. "Where are we?" she slurred.

killian jones/hook: As soon as he got in the house, he fell into a deep drug-induced, peaceful sleep, the files all around him... with the name Mihla Jones on the paper.

killian jones/hook: on the front of the paper was a very pretty woman with long brown hair, her blue eyes shining thoughtfully... age: 24. It had a wedding picture where Hook looked nothing like himself. He looked happy and well...sane... which was very strange for her to see.

Aurora: When Aurora woke up the next day with a bitch of a hangover she thought she had imagined the picture. But what she knew she hadn't imagined was the crime. She had committed a crime...and she had liked it.

killian jones/hook: Killian, on the other hand, was passed out on the floor, completely oblivious to the world. He muttered a few words in his sleep and flipped over, uncovering the picture.

Aurora: She looked confused at it. She hadn't imagined it? Taking a closer look only made her even more confused. He seemed happy...and sane? Wow, that's not something you want to think about the person holding you captive. She looked at the woman next to him. So that's what his wife looked like, she was pretty...Aurora put down the photo and went to the bathroom to wash up.

killian jones/hook: Killian sat up, rubbing his eyes... 'hell of a hangover' he thought for a second before standing up.

Aurora: "'Morning Sunshine," Aurora smiled as she came out of the bathroom. Her hair was damp from her shower, but besides that she looked perfect. Her clothes were spotless, make up done, and hair up in a sleek pony tail.

killian jones/hook: He groaned and picked up his files. He picked out the picture of Mihla and threw the others in the trash, putting the one of his own marriage in a cupboard which obviously had several pictures. "Morning..." he muttered grumpily.

Aurora: "Hangover?" she arched an eyebrow.

killian jones/hook: he nodded and dryswallowed a few asprin before daring to open his eyes. As soon as he did, pain filled him and he sat down... he didn't want to look at her, even if she did look so beautiful. She was too... bright at the moment.

Aurora: She rolled her eyes and went to get him a glass of water. Holding it out to him she said, "You have to drink water with aspirin, otherwise they'll hurt your liver."

killian jones/hook: "My liver went to hell a long time ago, then." he muttered, but he took the asprin anyway.

killian jones/hook: *water*

Aurora: "So what's on the agenda today?" she asked in a much more bubbly way than any person who drunk as much as she did the night before should be able to.

killian jones/hook: "Casino..." he muttered "Why so... perky, princess?" he took another asprin and sat down, his mind far away

Aurora: "Well...why not?" Aurora honestly didn't know why she was in such a good mood, but for some reason, she just couldn't stop smiling as she sat down next to him on the couch.

killian jones/hook: "Why? I mean, you've got to have a hangover too... and ewll...what's to be happy about?" he rolled his eyes...and then was stabbed with pain

Aurora: "I...I don't really know. Is there something in particular I shouldn't be happy about?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth she knew how stupid they were. Of course there was a ton of things for her to be upset about.

killian jones/hook: He raised an eyebrow "Well you seemed pretty upset yesterday...but whatever..." The light seemed to return to his eyes, though, as he spoke. THe asprin must have been working. "Well, if you're ready, I'll just get dressed and we'll go."

Aurora: "What's the plan though?"

Aurora: She smiled at the light returning to his eyes, there was an odd feeling in her stomach, but it wasn't necessarily bad.

killian jones/hook: "Well, I'll get in a suit, and you get in a nice dress, curl your hair... and we're going to go to a special place in the casino.. it's a place where all of the big people go to gamble...and...we're going to steal their money. Easy, enough."

Aurora: "You in a suit? That'll be interesting...And where am I going to get this 'nice dress'?" she asked.

killian jones/hook: "I've got a few... depends on what size you are. Go ask Belle, she tends to konw where all of them are."

Aurora: She gave him an odd look, "Do I want to know why you have dresses?"

killian jones/hook: "Don't you know? I wear them when I want to feel 'pretty." He rolled his eyes "why do you think?"

Aurora: Aurora suddenly imagined him in full drag and burst out laughing. "Oh...OH MY GOSH" she gasped between bursts of laughter.

killian jones/hook: he raised an eyebrow and twirled "I really like pastell pink. Goes great with my eyes." he said in a squeaky voice, almost exactly like a preppy drag queen

Aurora: Aurora couldn't breath she was laughing so hard. "S-s-STOP," she gasped out trying to catch her breath.

killian jones/hook: "No, but I did have the unfortunate time of drinking with Smee... he seemed to think that pink matched my eyes too..."

Aurora: She was trying to get her laughter under control and had got it down to a slight giggle instead of the full laughter it had been. "Oh r-really? I think a nice peach would be m-more your co-colour."

killian jones/hook: "Maybe. BUt my color isn't important, as I don't really want to be lookking like snow white to our little visit to the casino..." he rolled his eyes "No one would take me seriously... or they'd think I was extremely stoned."

Aurora: She finally stopped laughing. "See you after I get ready, Mr. Fairy Dust." She scampered out of the room as quickly as she could. He would NOT take being called that well...

Aurora: Aurora couldn't breath she was laughing so hard. "S-s-STOP," she gasped out trying to catch her breath.

killian jones/hook: "No, but I did have the unfortunate time of drinking with Smee... he seemed to think that pink matched my eyes too..."

Aurora: She was trying to get her laughter under control and had got it down to a slight giggle instead of the full laughter it had been. "Oh r-really? I think a nice peach would be m-more your co-colour."

killian jones/hook: "Maybe. BUt my color isn't important, as I don't really want to be lookking like snow white to our little visit to the casino..." he rolled his eyes "No one would take me seriously... or they'd think I was extremely stoned."

Aurora: She finally stopped laughing. "See you after I get ready, Mr. Fairy Dust." She scampered out of the room as quickly as she could. He would NOT take being called that well...

killian jones/hook: He took a moment to download this information "Wait... dust? WHat the hell?" He shouted

Aurora: Aurora barked a loud laugh when she heard his reaction. "Hey Belle?" she asked the woman sitting at the kitchen table.

Aurora: *adressed

killian jones/hook: Belle glanced at her, blushing furiously as she walked out of Rumple's room "Yes, Aurora?"

Aurora: "Apparently, I need a nice dress. Do you have one?"

killian jones/hook: "Oh! No, but Killian does...here, I'll show you." SHe walked to a huge closet where hundreds of dresses sat "There... every size, every picture.

killian jones/hook: *every color*

Aurora: Her jaw dropped. It was every girls dream. "Belle? Care to help?" Aurora nodded toward the dresses. "I think this will be more fun with a friend."

killian jones/hook: "Sure!" said Belle with a smile "BUt it depends on where you're going."

Aurora: "To a casino," she shrugged. She really wasn't sure how to dress for that, she wasn't much of a gambler.

killian jones/hook: "So..." she handed Aurora a pretty, but not too fancy blue dress. It was strapless with countless layers and a brown belt right above her hips.

Aurora: Aurora tried it on, only for Belle to shake her head no and hand her a different dress. This happened several times and Aurora was starting to lose hope in finding the right one.

killian jones/hook: she pulled it back "No..." she sighed "How about this." It was a deep black purple dress with a black lace belt through the middle and see-through straps crossing over her chest.

killian jones/hook: *light purple not deep black purple*

Aurora: Aurora hoped it was the right size, it was so pretty. When she slipped it on and looked in the mirror she knew this had to be it. "Well? What do you think?" she asked Belle.

killian jones/hook: belle nodded "Perfect... I think that Hook will like it too... you know, I think he likes you..."

Aurora: She laughed at first, thinking Belle was joking. She stopped abruptly when she looked at Belle's face and realized she wasn't. "What?"

killian jones/hook: "Well I've never seen Hook do anything for a girl... usually he'll take her seomwhere and then drop her off for the cops... or kill them. He legitimately seems to be enjoying your company... I've never seen him act so...normal."

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow, "This is normal? Wow...hmm...is-would it be odd to say that...I'm enjoying his company too?" Aurora sat down at the vanity and handed Belle the curling iron.

killian jones/hook: "no. He's handsome enough... for sure. It's just that... if you know him as well as I do, you know how broken he is and why he is who he is... and that is why I coud never love someone like him... you on the other hand.. you don't yet."

Aurora: "I-I want to know him. I really do, and that's what's so weird. I should just hate him for this...but I don't." Aurora watched as Belle worked on her hair.

killian jones/hook: "I understand... but really, what do you see in the man?"

Aurora: She took a deep breath. "I have no idea. I guess he's just fun to be around? And he-well he's different than anyone I ever met, so that makes him interesting. Like I said, I really want to get to know him. And yet I feel like I've known him for years! It's so strainge."

killian jones/hook: "Yes... but he hasn't told you anything about himself... you don't know anything about his past, and if you did... well that's what makes him so interesting."

Aurora: She licked her lips, "I...I do know...about his past, about...his wife."

killian jones/hook: "Do you? Interesting... I didn't realized he had told you so much.. he's not usually so open..."

Aurora: "He didn't, I read it in his file before I came here." She really hoped Hook wouldn't hear about this. She wanted him to tell her when he was ready. "But, don't tell him, okay?"

killian jones/hook: "I won't! I knew Mihla before she died... lovely woman... she was great with Killian... he really lost it when she died... I was his housekeeper, you see..."

Aurora: "I bet she was great, would have to be to get him..." Aurora was more thinking out loud than talking to Belle. With a shake of her head she snapped back to reality. "Not the fact that he lost it, that part is terrible."

killian jones/hook: "Yes... he would lock himself in his room for days and just sob, but...one day he came out and he was just... wrong... and he hasn't been the same since... but this is the most I've seen of him in a long time, even if it isn't much."

Aurora: "Oh my gosh...that's...there isn't a word...horrible I guess is the closest."

killian jones/hook: "Yes...well it was good talking to you, but I'm done, Aurora." she smiled "You're truly beautiful.."

killian jones/hook: Hook knocked on the door, his hair slicked back smoothly and in a black tuxedo.

Aurora: Aurora looked in the mirror. "Wow. Belle, you're amazing! I look great," she gasped.

Aurora: "Come in," she called when she heard him knock.

killian jones/hook: Hook bowed "Come on, m'lady." he said with a smile.

killian jones/hook: belle gave them a suggestive glance and waved "Be back by curfew, Killian!"

Aurora: Stepping out of the door she smoothed her skirt. "What do you think?" she asked him while ignoring Belle.

killian jones/hook: He stared at her for a few minutes, his eyes soft "Perfect. Now let's go."

Aurora: She felt a bit uncomfortable under his scrutiny, but when he said 'Perfect' she couldn't help the wide grin that broke out across her face. She took his arm and followed him to the car.

killian jones/hook: He walked into the sleek black car and muttered "Well, here we go..." when they finally arrived at 'the luxor' he got out and took her inside. "Alright, now follow me, princess..."

Aurora: "Wait. Can I at least have my gun back?"

killian jones/hook: "This is not a time for guns... we shouldn't be needing them. And you'd have trouble hiding it in your dress anyway..." he took her hand and walked further into the huge casino "Nice place..." he muttered

Aurora: Her eyes winded. "Yeah...nice..." She was suddenly attacked by nerves. They were there to rob the place. ROB it. And she wasn't doing this at gunpoint or anything, she had -wanted- to, and that made it all the worse.

killian jones/hook: he wrapped his arm around her waist "no time to be having second thoughts... come on..." he walked up to the table and muttered ''now you start playing.. don't bet too much..."

Aurora: "And what would 'too much' be in a place like this?" she whispered into his ear, still unsure of herself, but trying to appear at ease. She hoped any onlookers would just think they were a couple and she was sweet-talking him.

killian jones/hook: "Ok, look... I've got another idea. But we need to get as far out of the way as possible... you'll need a gun."

Aurora: She gasped in shock, then giggled to try and cover it. "Where do you suggest we go? A stall in the women's wash room?" she rolled her eyes.

killian jones/hook: he rolled his eyes "No...well...I suppose that's the best way to do it, sadly..."

Aurora: She gave him a 'you have got to be kidding look'. She sighed, "Let's go then." And started towards the restroom.

killian jones/hook: He sighed and put on his best "I am a women, don't challenge me" look... it didn't work...he walked into the restroom, where women stared at him, and slipped into a stall.

Aurora: Her breath caught when she realized how close they were. She looked up at his eyes and almost gasped. She'd never realized how great his eyes were before.

killian jones/hook: he glanced at her, flushing slightly...he hadn't felt so human and vulnerable for a while. He slipped the gun to her without a word, aware of how...close she was...

Aurora: "Keep looking at me like that and we might actually do what everyone thinks we're going to," she breathed a laugh awkwardly. It was something that she would have never said before, but she hadn't really been herself as of late, and it was exactly something the person she was turning into would say. Well...it would have to be, she actually said it. Half her brain was screaming at her stupidity, but the other half didn't care, and unforchantly for her sanity, that was the side that was winning.

killian jones/hook: He cleared his throat, wanting badly to do something...not so good. For once, however, his sane side was winning, which was...well...new. He kind of liked the new clarity however, so he just turned away and said "Ok, everyone is gone...we can...um...go now." he practically ran out of the stall

Aurora: She couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. She'd never had -that- effect on anyone before...and she liked it. She slipped the small gun in the only place it wouldn't be seen, between her breasts and followed him out.

killian jones/hook: trying his best to compose himself, he muttered "Now...we need to make a scene. Shouldn't be too hard, I suppose..."

Aurora: "Leave that to me," Aurora grinned and headed out to the casino floor.

killian jones/hook: "Fine..." he followed her, straightening his suit rather awkwardly

Aurora: Aurora stopped in a seemingly random place. "Ready to make a scene?" she whispered to Hook.

killian jones/hook: "Sure..." he muttered, not sure he liked the light in her eyes

Aurora: She tugged the neck of her dress down just a bit and turned to the first guy about her age that she saw. He was actually pretty good looking, which just made her job easier. She gave the guy her best flirty smile and batted her eyelashes a bit, "Hi, I'm Rora. And you would be...?"

killian jones/hook

hook crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow.

The man glanced at her... she was very beautiful. "Hello. I'm Rory... and wow... you're beautiful."

Aurora: She blushed and continued smiling. "Wonderful to meet you Rory. Do you have plans later? Because I'm staying at the hotel here and not knowing anybody in town...I've been lonely." She gently took his hand and placed it around her waist.

killian jones/hook

Hook didn't see how this would help them at all... in fact... what he really wanted to do was punch this guy... what did he think he was doing? OF course, really, AUrora was the one to blame! IT wasn't really at all this...Rory's fault. Hook shrugged and walked up to Aurora "Is there a point to this?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.

Rory glared at Hook "Hey, she wasn't talking to you."

Aurora: "Yes," Aurora paused hoping Hook would realize she was answering her question before she finished her sentence, "back off, I was talking to Rory." She smiled and looked at the man as she said his name.

killian jones/hook: Hook understood, but he didn't quite know what to do. He didn't know if she wanted him to attack the guy or if she wanted him to back off... but, since he didn't think it would be the latter, he punched the guy flat in the face. "And before you ask if there was a point to that... I really, really wanted to."

Aurora: Aurora winked at him discreetly before she dramatically put her hands over her mouth and said "OH MY GOSH!" as loud as she could, just to make doubly sure they had -everyone's- attention.

killian jones/hook: Hook rolled his eyes "Oh my gosh what? He deserved it, princess..." he said as soon as the guards came close

Aurora: Aurora watched carefully for the guards to come closer. When they were close enough to see she helped Rory to his feet. Only to pull out her gun and aim it at his head. "Maybe," she shrugged, "but I did as you asked, I made a scene. Now do you want to explain as to why?" Aurora smiled sweetly, but Rory was scared stiff at the gun held against his temple.

killian jones/hook: "Because..." he pulled out a gun "we need those keys... you know the ones... and you're going to give them to us." he smiled at the guards

Aurora: "Oh, here's an idea. Why don't they just open the boxes for us?" she raised an eyebrow.

killian jones/hook: "That could work too... c'mon, guys." he said, waving them on. "Aurora...watch them, make sure they don't get away...

Aurora: "Of course," she nodded. "And remember boys, try anything and your 'honored guest' here get's his brains blown out," she said in an acid-sweet voice.

killian jones/hook: hook glanecd back at arurora, his eyes wide "Erm...right..." he shook his head and continued walking "Now where is it?"

killian jones/hook: RE-RP! - hook glanced back at Aurora "Follow them... make sure that they get all of the money and don't leave out any little dollars."

Aurora: "Got it," she followed the guards and watched carefully as they filled bags with money and lead them back to wear Hook was standing with the hostages. Funny, she thought, a week ago she was doing everything in her power to stop Hook and people like him. Now she was his accomplice.

killian jones/hook: Killian smiled and took the bags of money. He took her hand and whispered a single word. "run."

Aurora: Aurora grabbed the other bag full of cash and, still hand in hand with him, ran like hell back to the car.

Aurora: A smile not leaving her face and several screams of joy escaping her.

killian jones/hook: When they got in the car, Killian's heart beat against his chest and he was sure that it was trying to escape out of his ribcage. His breaths heated and quick, he stared at her. Her smile was bright, and her lips only the brightest color of red. And he couldn't stop himself, and really, couldn't be blamed for his next choice. He kissed her, the high from the robery influencing him to do this.

Aurora: She just kissed him back. She'd never been in a better mood and this was just the cherry on top. She laughed as he started to drive. "That was great!" she beamed.

killian jones/hook: "That's the reaction of most girls." he said. he knew her real meaning behind her words, but he liked his version better... and he couldn't tell her that she was the first girl that he had kissed since Mihla. If she thought it was a normal thing, it would be better.

killian jones/hook: just a kiss...he had just...been in such a good mood. that's all it was.

Aurora: "Oh stop," she rolled her eyes. "You liked it too. All guys who kiss me do," she teased back.

killian jones/hook: He rolled his eyes "That, my dear, was nothing. I've seen far better."

Aurora: "Really?" With a smirk Aurora leaned over and draped her arms around his neck. With a bat of her eyelashes she purred, "I'll just have to try harder I guess."

killian jones/hook: Head suddenlly clear, Hook swerved across the road, seperating himself from Aurora "Nah. I'll just have to play hard to get. Now princess, when we get home, you're going to have to do something for me."

Aurora: She pouted as she pulled away, her head still spinning with excitement, adrenalin, and joy. "And what's that?" she smiled again.

killian jones/hook: "You're going to let me call the CIA and set up a randsom for you."

Aurora: That snapped her out of it. "What?" she demanded.

killian jones/hook: "You heard me. BUt don't worry, I won't leave you there... I'm going to take your randsome, then steal you again. Simple enough."

Aurora: "They're never going to pay anything! Not after the stunt I just pulled! They're going to watch the security tapes and recognize me in a second!" she protested. She did not want to see them. It would make it too real. Her betrayal would be final if she saw them again, it would be real.

killian jones/hook: "Yes. But you could tell them that you were forced to do that or I would kill you. They'll never blame you. What do you care, anyway?"

Aurora: "I just..." the truth came spilling out of her before she even consented to telling him, "Hook, I betrayed them and if I see them, so worried about me...it'll be too real. Much too real. I don't think I can handle that."

killian jones/hook: "Yeah, but Aurora. You don't have anyone who really cares about you.. you have a couple friends and what will they really care? Come on...Aurora... I know that you like this high... imagine what that will be like?"

Aurora: She scoffed and shook her head. "That's it, I'm insane. I've completely lost my mind. And do you know why?" She laughed bitterly. "Because I trust you. I actually trust you...Okay. Call them. Have make make a hostage video or whatever, I'll do it. But...how will you steal me back?"

killian jones/hook: "That's the worst mistake you could ever make." said killian, whispering near her ear in a husky voice "ANd I'm going to get you back by getting a fake identity and coming into the office as a new officer. ANd then, I can get you out."

Aurora: Her heart stuttered a bit from his proximity, but what he said was like a bucket of ice water pouring over her head. "N-no, I can't go all the way back to the office. Besides, they would recognize you in a heart beat. Ella would anyway..."

killian jones/hook: "Ella would... yes. But she won't say anything. Not if she cares for her life anyway. As for the others, well, my files are gone, remember?"

Aurora: Aurora gulped. "I...You promace you'll come get me right? You're not going to make me go back for real...right?" her voice was small and frightened. She didn't want to go back. She felt so alive and she didn't want to die, she didn't want to go back to her boring old life, not after this. She just couldn't.

killian jones/hook: he nodded, taking her in his arms "I couldn't leave you, Aurora..." he wouldn't tell her the reason for this. It wasn't because of love or whatever else she thought, but it was because she made him feel like he still had a grasp of his sanity... she was helping him regain it if nothing else.

Aurora: She knew it wasn't because of love or something stupid like that. It was just an insane man's current favor, and she could live with that. She took a deep breath. "Okay. What are you going to have me do?"

killian jones/hook: "Just get taken... whatever you want to do, really. Plead guilty, or not guilty...whatever you want."

Aurora: "Not guilty. I-I couldn't let my friends know about..." she didn't want him to know she was ashamed, but she was.

killian jones/hook: "Ok." he said "now I'll call them..." he got on the phone (can you be ella?) "Hello, Ella, I've got a proposition for you..."

Aurora: "H-How did you get this number? What do you want?" She couldn't believe this. She would know that horrid voice anywhere. The meeting to view what he had done...what they had done had just been let out for a quick ten minute break. And here he was, the horrid, foul, thing was calling her.

killian jones/hook: His voice sounded calmer, less insane than last time "Yeah...look, I'm sorry about this, Ella. All I want to do is give you your friend back... It'll only take 10000 dollars... I don't really want to do this, but I have to, you see... all I want to do is give you your friend back... I haven't done anything to her..."

Aurora: "HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO HER?" Ella shouted then reeled herself back in, "Yeah right. Aurora would never commit a CRIME. She wouldn't ROB A CASINO! You've done something to her!"

killian jones/hook: "No...I did make her do those things... but I mean she hasn't been harmed physically. She's perfect produce, princess.''

Aurora: "Well glad to know you think of my best friend as produce. I'll talk to someone okay. I'll see what I can do about the money." Ella hung up the phone without an answer and saved his number to her cell. Perfect timing for the meeting to be called back to order. (Will you be Snow? Then we can be some other people too)

killian jones/hook: (Sure) he sighed "ok, Ella is seeing what she can do."

Aurora: Aurora gulped. "Great," she said unconvincingly.

killian jones/hook: "Well... I want a drink, we should wait for her call."

Aurora: It was like her whole world was collapsing. There were so many ways this could go wrong! She suddenly couldn't breath. Air was going in and out but she couldn't get enough of it. Her breaths became short an panicked. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no NO!

killian jones/hook: Hook stared at her "Aurora?" he stared at her "Aurora! Are you okay?" he grabbed her shoulders, after pulling over of course.

Aurora: "I can't do this! OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T DO THIS!" she sobbed. She wrapped her arms around him and held on for dear life. Her breathing speed up and she started hyperventilating again.

killian jones/hook: Hook held her "Aurora... everythig is going to be fine. I won't leave you, and I'm not going to fail. You don't do crimes if you're not worried about being caught, Aurora..."

Aurora: It took a long time for her hysterics to settle into silent tears rolling down her face, but she eventually got there, holding onto him the entire time. "How do you know you won't fail?" she asked, her voice weak.

killian jones/hook: "I don't. But I do know that if I'm caught, you'll be fine. I'll be the only one who will be blamed."

Aurora: "No, no I won't be fine. I can't go back...I-I just can't."

killian jones/hook: "Then you don't have to, Aurora. But I won't let you go anywhere else if you don't. If you can't handle this, then you can't do anything."

Aurora: "NO!" she instantly protested. "I-I can do it!"

killian jones/hook: "I know you can." he glared at her "BUt you need to pull yourself together."

killian jones/hook: "Come on, Aurora..." he got a call from Ellie again.

Aurora: Aurora took a deep breath and pulled herself back together. She didn't, however, pull herself back from Hook. She listened intently to both sides of the phone conversation. "Hook, where do you want the money," came Ella's voice.

killian jones/hook: "Hook? Do you have to use that monicker? It's not my fault that I got my hand cut off! No-well-yes it is... I cut it off... But the point is (i need to see Aurora's reaction XDD) ...there's no need for name-calling. Anyway...send it to my adress... 5500 Donald Road."

Aurora: "You cut your hand off?" Aurora gasped. "Rora! Is that you?!" came Ella's voice.

killian jones/hook: "Yeah, yeah... it was a bad day. Really bad day. But... oh here, you can talk to her..." muttered hook.

killian jones/hook: Ella said "Aurora! Are you okay! He's crazy, he cut off his own hand! As long as he doesn't do aynthing to your hands... oh! That sounded bad, oh you know what I mean..."

killian jones/hook: *with, not to*

Aurora: "Ella! I-I'm fine! Yes, I know what you mean," Aurora laughed. It was bitter sweet to hear her friend's voice again.

killian jones/hook: "Good... well we're sending the money to h-er-Killian... so we'll see you soon, yeah?"

Aurora: "Definitely. S-see you soon..." she trailed off. She suddenly realized where she was, practicably sitting on Hook's lap, one arm draped around his neck...Yep, this would be absolutely fantastic.

killian jones/hook: when she hung up, he added "I don't know what's so weird about cutting off my own hand." he was joking, of course, but it wasn't funny...

Aurora: "Why would you do that

Aurora: ?" she asked softly, glancing down at the wrist.

killian jones/hook: he glanced at her "I wasn't in the best state of mind... I did a lot of things... one of them was cutting off my hand... I'm still insane, but not quite at that level."

Aurora: "Killan..." she said softly, looking up at him with sad eyes. It honestly hurt her to hear this, she didn't want him to be in that much pain ever.

killian jones/hook: "Aurora..." he mocked her tone "I'm...well-not fine now, but better. I'm not going to be cutting off anymore of my limbs. ''

Aurora: For some reason this made her laugh. "Promise?"

killian jones/hook: "I promise... though I do have an argument to settle with my nose..." he rolled his eyes "That was kind of a strange day... I don't really think I was quite in my right mind."

Aurora: "Nah, you're perfectly sane."

killian jones/hook: he stared at her "I'm getting there... everything is a lot clearer lately... but anyway, we'd better get in."

Aurora: She smiled, "That's good...Yeah, let's do this trade."

killian jones/hook: "Ok." he took his arm off of her and walked towards the CIA building, where he waited for Ella."

Aurora: She followed behind him sheepishly, doing her best to play her part. "When will you come back for me?" she said under her breath.

killian jones/hook: "In about a week, okay? I promise I'll be here..." he knocked on the door.

Aurora: "You better be," she mumbled.

killian jones/hook: (ella?)

Aurora: Ella opened the door to give her friend a sad smile and Hook a sneer. "Here's your money," she shoved a bag into his chest, "Now. Let. Her. Go."

killian jones/hook: "Of course, princess." as soon as he got his money, he waved and left... as soon as he entered the house, he was greeted by belle.

Aurora: Belle looked concerned, "Where is she?"

killian jones/hook: "Gone." he muttered, his eyes just as clear as they had been for days "She'll be back."

Aurora: "Then where is she?" Belle was slightly relived his eyes weren't mad again.

Aurora: That's the only way she knew Aurora would really be back.

killian jones/hook: "At the CIA... i'll be breaking in later..." he sighed "Do you ever get very tired of this lifestyle? I don't...I don't know, it just seems a little...dangerous."

Aurora: "BREAKING INTO THE CIA?!"

killian jones/hook: "yeah..." he shrugged tiredly "It's not like I haven't done it before."

Aurora: "Why is she at the CIA?...You didn't send her back, did you?"

killian jones/hook: "Yes. I did. And I'm not sure that I really want to pull her out of there again... maybe I should just leave her to her life...this...isn't...ri ght...and I think I'm done with this."

Aurora: "No. She wants to come back, I know it." If Belle was certain of one thing, it was this. "And you don't really want to leave."

killian jones/hook: "Don't want to leave what?" he muttered, his eyes dull and cold.

Aurora: "You don't want to leave this life. You're just saying that because she's not here anymore."

killian jones/hook: His eyes flashed "No! I'm saying that because it's stupid! Stupid and immature and unreasonable! Yes! (he spoke her name for the first time in years) Mihla is dead, but who the hell cares? Me-obviously, but she would not want this... why would I ever want to do this? I cut off my own hand for gods sake! Why-would-I-want-this?"

Aurora: "Because you're addicted like the rest of us. Now, you're going to go back and get your girl. She's waiting for you," Belle said determined. She knew he wouldn't leave, just like she knew he'd get her back.

killian jones/hook: "The rest of us? You never have been." he said, raising his eyebrow "But I can't go back yet. Not quite yet..."

Aurora: "You don't know what Rumple has me do. And why not?"

killian jones/hook: he cringled at rumplestiltskin's nickname "Rumple? I can't...even hide my disgust for that...thing...and you're calling him rumple?"

Aurora: She laughed, "I guess it's time I told you, we're together."

killian jones/hook: he stared at her, disgust clear in his eyes "just...get away from me before I do something I'll regret, Belle."

Aurora: She rolled her eyes, "Just go get -your- girl."

killian jones/hook: "Why?" he hissed "Do you care? And anyway, it's not even been a day... I can't do it yet... it's called TIMING."

Aurora: "I care because she makes you happy, and you make her happy. I would like my friends to be happy. Is that a crime? And I know, but you should start planing at least, get your fake I.D. ready."

killian jones/hook: he glared at her "You are not my friend..." he sighed "But I suppose you're right about the fake I.D..."

Aurora: She just nodded, "You'll find I'm right about a lot of things."

killian jones/hook: "Obviously not about your choices." he growled.

Aurora: Belle rolled her eyes, "Is my love life your top priority?...Besides, he's -great- in bed," she just smirked at him.

killian jones/hook: he shook his head "Fine...I don't even want to know... I guess I'll be gone for a while." he mocked mihla's old tone "I'll be back by 7, sweetie!"

killian jones/hook: Ella grinned "I'm so glad that you're back! He must have been horrid!"

Aurora: Aurora smiled and hugged her. "You have no idea," she chose her words carefully.

killian jones/hook: "What did he do to you?" asked Ella in horror.

Aurora: "W-what do you mean?"

killian jones/hook: "I mean you said that he was horrible! What do you mean?"

Aurora: Aurora took a breath to say something, but didn't. She opened her mouth again, but she didn't know what to say. She had no answer. He -wasn't- horrible so...what could she possibly say?

Aurora: "Well...uh...he..um...h e..." she sounded so stupid and she knew it. The more she demanded her brain to THINK OF SOMETHING NOW the more it blanked.

killian jones/hook: "What?" asked Ella, worried...had he done something...worse than she had thought

Aurora: She took a deep breath. "He didn't do anything," she sighed.

killian jones/hook: "What? BUt...?" Ella's expression was one of confusion

Aurora: "Besides a few threats at first he didn't do anything bad to me."

killian jones/hook: "...he sounded pretty bad to me! I mean, ...I don't know, he even cut off his own hand! He's insane!"

Aurora: "Well yes, but he's also...sweet," she said the first word that popped into her head.

killian jones/hook: "Sweet?" she hissed "He's a drug-obsessed alcoholic who likes to rob places."

Aurora: "Hook's not as bad as you think, really!" she defended.

killian jones/hook: "...if he has redeeming qualities...they can't be large."

killian jones/hook: "I mean...what is so good about him?"

Aurora: "He is a good person. He really is. He's just...lost."

killian jones/hook: "Lost?" Ella looked like she understood a bit "Lost enough to drink himself to death and rob buildings?"

Aurora: "The crime isn't that bad, it's just another high to u- him."

killian jones/hook: "And why exactly would he want these...highs? THey could kill him! If he's lost, then he's far gone."

Aurora: "Because they're amazing, okay?" she snapped, but then her voice turned more dreamy, "It's like everything is just fun, and exciting, and alive! It's wonderful!"

killian jones/hook: ella stared at her "..." she shook her head "You too?"

Aurora: Aurora shook her head to clear it, "What?"

killian jones/hook: "You're just like him." she spat in disgust

Aurora: "Ella?" tears jumped to Aurora's eyes.

killian jones/hook: "Every single criminal, does it just for the hell of it, and, and you should! You're not a criminal! You did those things on your own, and that! Is not-EXCEPTABLE! I hate him, not because he is despicable, but because he chooses to be despicable, and now YOU ARE TOO! It's disgusting. DISGUSTING that you let him turn you into this."

Aurora: There was only one thing Aurora could say, "I know."

killian jones/hook: "...but maybe you're lost too..." she muttered "I guess I can't blame you for...liking it... only if you went back to it could I blame you." she said, suddenly calm

killian jones/hook: "I can definaetly blame hook, though." she siad "I know that you don't think that Hook is a bad person, and maybe you're right...maybe he is fallen, but he has no right to try to do the same to you."

Aurora: "It...it's impossible not to like. Just the feeling of the adrenalin. I just felt so alive!" she gushed.

killian jones/hook: "FIne! But you knew what you were doing! YOU KNEW THAT YOU WERE HURING PEOPLE!"

Aurora: "You can't blame me Ella! Besides, I was drunk out of my skull half the time anyway!" So it was a bit of an exaggeration, but she didn't know how to defend herself. Ella was right. She was a horrible horrible person, but she was an addict.

killian jones/hook: Ella stared at her "Drunk out of your skull? Aurora...I...I just...It's not your fault...just...don't talk to me right now."

Aurora: The tears started to fall freely. "Ella...I-I...Ella, I don't know who I am anymore!" she sobbed.

killian jones/hook: "Then find yourself." she said with a smile "Most 'addicts' find the same problem..."

Aurora: "I don't want to! What if..." her voice became small, "what if I don't like the answer?"

killian jones/hook: "What do you mean?"

Aurora: "Ella...I'm crazy about him...what kind of person is crazy about someone like -that-?"

killian jones/hook: "Someone who thinks that a good-looking man is a really good-looking man... which he is..."

Aurora: "But it's not just that I'm attracted because of his looks, I care for -him- the person he is. And you said it yourself he's a 'drug-obsessed alcoholic who likes to rob places'. What kind of person is attracted to that?"

killian jones/hook: "He is... but I think that you want to fix him."

Aurora: "That's just it! I-I don't want to -fix- him. I think he's amazing how he is! I...I want to be -like him-."

killian jones/hook: "Well that's a problem... you can't be like him... why would you want to?" her voice slowly grew more annoyed

Aurora: "Do you know what it's like? That life? It's the most amazing feeling in the world!" she was glowing even through her tears.

killian jones/hook: "Yeah...but do you know how NOT amazing it is for everyone else?"

Aurora: "Ella," she chuckled, "I'm a CIA agent, I know. I know how wrong it is, I know."

killian jones/hook: "Then don't do it. It's a choice, Aurora."

Aurora: "I don't want to die," she said softly.

killian jones/hook: ''what?"

Aurora: "I felt so alive, I don't want to die, to go back."

killian jones/hook: "No." she said "Look, AUrora, this is not helping anyone! It might be making you feel baetter, but it's hurting everyone else! Do you really thingk that you're THAT important?"

Aurora: "No. Not at all. But I love it so much, I don't even feel bad while I'm doing it, I don't remember to I'm just so happy."

killian jones/hook: "So?" she hissed "Aurora, this is MESSED UP."

Aurora: "But when I'm with him..." she trailed off. She really had no idea how to finish that sentence.

killian jones/hook: "Do you love him?" ella demanded

Aurora: This brought Aurora up short. She honestly didn't know. Looking up she finally met Ella's eyes. "I have no idea," she breathed.

killian jones/hook: Hook began driving to the CIA station... he couldn't take this anymore. She was like a high that he couldn't escape-nor did he want to.

Aurora: "Ella...he's like the high I can't escape."

killian jones/hook: (really? really? LOL) Ella bit her lip "I-...I think I understand." she blushed heavily

Aurora: Aurora looked up confused, "You do?"

killian jones/hook: "Um...Aurora...you haven't been here for a while, and...I...well...i'm pregnant."

Aurora: Well...that was unexpected. "Ella! That...That's great!...right?"

killian jones/hook: "Yeah...it is, but the point is, I understand."

Aurora: "But I shouldn't feel that way! Not...not about him."

killian jones/hook: "He's a broken, handsome man who lost everything. I can understand the attraction."

Aurora: "Ella..." how could she possibly say this? "Thanks to you I figured out who I am."

killian jones/hook: Ella stared at her "Don't put that on me, Aurora..."

Aurora: "No, it's a good thing I know. You helped me. -You- are going to hate it but...I'm his. I'm going back. I'm going back to it all. I'm a horrible, awful person, but I'm going back to it all."

killian jones/hook: "I know that.." said Ellie dully "And I can't really do anything about that, can I?"

Aurora: "I'll miss you," was all she managed to choke out because she really would. Ella was her best friend and if they ever saw each other again, they'd be on opposite sides of the line.

killian jones/hook: hook honked his horn loudly and Ella hugged aurora "See you..someday!"

Aurora: "I am so sorry," she muttered to Ella. With one last glance back Aurora took off through the door and ran to the car, she knew who it was. "I thought you said a week? Miss me too much?"

killian jones/hook: Hook rolled his eyes "Belle made me pick you up. I think she was afraid I was really going to cut off my nose."

Aurora: "Really now?" she raised an eyebrow. "And how'd you know I'd just come back at the honk of a horn?"

killian jones/hook: "Because I knew that you would miss me way too much not to come and check." he said arrogantly

Aurora: "Nah, I just missed Belle," Aurora teased.

killian jones/hook: "Oh is that right." he mocked sadness "Well in that case... Belle had an overdose and died."

Aurora: "Overdose of what? Rumpelstiltskin fun time?"

killian jones/hook: Hook's expression suddenly darkened and he quieted. How had she known about that and he hadn't? Had he really been too emersed in sadness to worry about his best friend and that...thieving murderer? Of course...he wasn't all that much better than rumpelstiltskin now...not anymore... his heart gave a heave with grief... something he hadn't felt for a long time

killian jones/hook: *not grief, guilt*

Aurora: "What? Sad you're not getting any Aurora fun time?" she asked with mock concern.

killian jones/hook: he shook his head with a tiny chuckle "Not quite. I just...nothing...it's nothing, Aurora."

Aurora: "No. What's wrong? Seriously?" she asked with real concern.

killian jones/hook: he sighed "Did I ever tell you who killed Mihla?" he cringed at the name.

Aurora: "No...why?"

killian jones/hook: "Because Rumpelstiltskin did it. That's why I hate the man so much, and why I don't really like the idea of Belle and that lunatic...t-er-gether.. ."

Aurora: "What? Then why do you work together, or, or whatever?"

killian jones/hook: "I don't work with him." said hook, clenching his jaw "I lock him up... but somehow he always manages to get out. You see, Belle is only supposed to be his housekeeper... it doesn't work like that..."

killian jones/hook: *but it doesn't work like that*

Aurora: "So why did you give me the choice of staying with him?"

killian jones/hook: "Because you were a CIA agent. I didn't figure you'd handle doing crimes well. Most of you don't."

Aurora: "Oh, glad to know I'm just another one to you," she was starting to get ticked off.

killian jones/hook: He decided in a swift thought that he needed to seperate himself from her a bit-stupid descision though it might be. "What else would you be?"

Aurora: She stopped. What had she thought she was to him? Had she thought she was special? Why would she be? "I-I just thought you found me more interesting than most," she covered. That hadn't been what she thought at all. After that kiss...

killian jones/hook: "You're interesting alright. I told you when I met you, I don't understand how your clock works yet. I need to see how you tick." he rolled his eyes "I don't quite understand you yet."

Aurora: "Take your best guess..." she really wanted to see what he thought she was like.

killian jones/hook: "You're a psyco." he muttered

Aurora: She hit him playfully on the arm. "Hey! What makes you say that?"

killian jones/hook: "Oh I dunno... you actually don't think I'm a psyco anymore, which is saying something. Well-no, you still think I'm a psycopath, you just think that...I have my reasons, that I'm lost... but that is not true at all..." he was almost too good at reading her thoughts. He must be edward cullen the sparkly vampire

Aurora: "And that makes me a psyco?" she laughed.

killian jones/hook: "Yes.'' he said, leaning close to her ear

killian jones/hook: "Because you're wrong. I'm not lost, i'm found. I may have lost my sanity, but that has nothing to do with your... affection, does it, princess?"

Aurora: "Oh, but it does though," she brought her mouth closer to his ear. "You're right about one thing, I am a psycopath, but not because I like you in spite of your insanity, but because I like you for it."

killian jones/hook: "And tick tock goes the clock..." he muttered, bringing his face closer to hers "I think you're broken, sweetheart."

Aurora: "Then fix me," she breathed, leaning in as well.

killian jones/hook: "I can't. Maybe someone else, but I'm afraid I'm only furthering your cracks... tick tock..."

Aurora: "Good. I'm done being a little goody-two-shoes, I'd rather be broken."

killian jones/hook: "BUt I don't want you to be." he hissed, going back to ddriving safely

Aurora: Disappointment burned through her in one solid pulse. "Why?" she demanded.

killian jones/hook: he began laughing "Because, I'm messed up enough for both of us-though if you want to be bad, go ahead. Hit me with your best shot" he said, his expression slightly off

Aurora: "Oh, so now you -want- me to break the rules?" she raised an eyebrow. "I thought that was too good for me or something."

killian jones/hook: in the spur of the moment, he spun the wheels, slamming into the side of the freeway. His eyes wide with an unreadable, but scary expression

Aurora: "Hook?" she looked a mix of confused, concerned, and a bit scared.

killian jones/hook: he didn't hear her. His heart was beating in his chest, bu-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum. He could have sworn it was trying to escape her chest because she was here. Mihla was here. But as soon as he saw her, she dissappeared in the midst of traffic. She was there, though, he was sure. He was sure. the words repeated in his head indefinately, and he couldn't think, he couldn't move. all he could do was sob on the inside and tick-tock-tick-tock-tick -tock...tick tock... there was a clicking in his head that he couldn't ignore...

killian jones/hook: he began to laugh hysterically, the confusion in his brain forgotten

Aurora: She giggled nervously. "Hook?" she asked again.

killian jones/hook: he laughed harder, but his mind was blank, completely blank...he couldn't think... tick-tock. He stared at Aurora, her beauty forgotten. He wanted to do something -fun- but he-couldn't talk... he was laughing so hard and he didn't know why...

killian jones/hook: he leaned towards aurora, his eyes startlingly bright "Come on. let's do something fun, shall we? Go cliff diving, attack a police officer, steal pounds and pounds of drugs? What do you think?" he needed the high right now. he needed it, because his brain couldn't survive without

Aurora: "Well...that jewelry store over there looks nice," she shrugged. It wasn't the most brilliant thing ever, but it would still give that high that she was already craving again.

killian jones/hook: "yes. yes it does." he wrenched the car away from the crash site and began driving all-too fast. He arrived at the jewelry store and got out of the car shakily, almost smashing into the side of the building.

Aurora: Aurora got out with him and looked at the display through the window. There was the most beautiful emerald bracelet she'd ever seen. "That's so pretty," she sighed.

killian jones/hook: "It would look prettier on m-you." he said, laughing as if he'd said that it would look better on himself.

Aurora: "Can I keep it?" she knew he'd probably see whatever they were about to take, but it was only one piece...

killian jones/hook: "We'll take everything." said hook

killian jones/hook: hook smashed his hand into the glass and began grabbing random objects off the table. He took the emerald necklace and handed or hooked it to her

Aurora: Aurora ignored the sirens and slipped the bracelet on real quick before grabbing what she could. Laughing, she ran back out to the car. In her arms was more jewelry than she had ever hoped to own in her life.

killian jones/hook: he grinned, successfully distracted from mihla "Come on. More. Let's go somewhere else."

Aurora: She was already flying high and couldn't have been happier to get more. "Why don't we just go somewhere? Just drive away and stop wherever we want?"

killian jones/hook: 'Sounds good." said hook, driving off, still not feeling the rush as much as usual. He needed more and more and more... to distract himself

Aurora: Aurora leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you," she muttered.

killian jones/hook: "Thank you what?" he hissed "i'm not doing this for you...''

Aurora: "Thank you for taking me along for the ride," she smiled.

killian jones/hook: "of course...k couldn't do it all without you." he said with a crooked smile that didn't fit him one bit

Aurora: Aurora knew something was wrong. Something was really wrong. But she didn't know how to fix it, she didn't even have a clue what it was. So she did the only thing she could think of, "There's a bank coming up. Want to stop there? I bet you could even beat the crap out of some security guys..." she'd try to use a high to fix everything. She was really losing it.

killian jones/hook: Killian seemed to agree. He nodded and said "Let's go then, m'lady."

Aurora: After he parked Aurora stepped out of the car and headed inside with him.

killian jones/hook: he laughed and walked in "Now. This is your job, what do you want to do?"

Aurora: "I was thinking walk into the vault and beat the crap out of anyone who tried to stop us," she shrugged.

killian jones/hook: he nodded, though he didn't think that this was going to be enough... all the money in the world wouldn't be enough... "Sure. " he looked lost in thought. Alice in wonderland.

Aurora: "Have a better idea?" she asked. She was starting to really worry about him...

Aurora: After he parked Aurora stepped out of the car and headed inside with him.

killian jones/hook: he laughed and walked in "Now. This is your job, what do you want to do?"

Aurora: "I was thinking walk into the vault and beat the crap out of anyone who tried to stop us," she shrugged.

killian jones/hook: he nodded, though he didn't think that this was going to be enough... all the money in the world wouldn't be enough... "Sure. " he looked lost in thought. Alice in wonderland.

Aurora: "Have a better idea?" she asked. She was starting to really worry about him...

killian jones/hook: he shook his head "nope. Haven't got a better, one, let's go." his words were too quick, even as he tried to slow them down.

Aurora: She sent a concerned look his way, "Something wrong?"

killian jones/hook: "I'm fine." he muttered "Not that it concerns you... shouldn't anyway, we'll get out of here soon enough."

Aurora: "Okay then..." she still looked concerned but didn't push it.

killian jones/hook: he clenched his jaw and began walking into the bank. "now what?" he hissed

Aurora: "Now...this." She punched the nearest security guard right in the nose, sending him to the ground out cold.

killian jones/hook: he nodded, following her "ok...and?"

Aurora: She aimed her gun at the ceiling and pulled the trigger. "Now, we're going into the vault, anyone want to try to stop us?" she announced.

killian jones/hook: Killian sighed, looking incredibly bored "Yeah, yeah, just get the money." he said

Aurora: She gave him a concerned look. "You know what, forget it," she turned and grabbed his arm, leading him back to the car.

killian jones/hook: he glared at her, but it was half-hearted as if he didn't care very much "What was that for?"

Aurora: Without answering she got in the drivers seat and drove off with him in the seat next to her.

killian jones/hook: He sighed and crossed his arms "Are you going to answer or are you just going to stare at me like I have a second head...or no head... and don't say that's an improvement."

Aurora: "What is wrong?" she demanded.

killian jones/hook: "nothing." he said, again as if he wasn't really listening to her.

Aurora: "It is not -nothing-."

killian jones/hook: "Look, I don't know what's gotten into you. I'm not the one with a problem."

killian jones/hook: "You keep yelling at me, and you ran out of the bank like a freak! Do you think that they're just going to let us go without checking where I live? again? no!"

Aurora: "Then tell me what is wrong!"

killian jones/hook: "As I said! NOthing! Are you really trying to find someting wrong with me? There's nothign wrong!"

Aurora: "Then why are you acting like this?" her tone was softer

killian jones/hook: tumblr_mebq6i3ai...

killian jones/hook: "I'm not acting like anything, I always act like this..."

Aurora: "No you don't!"

killian jones/hook: "Look sweetheart, I think you're just distracted by my awesomeness. Let's just go home and have a drink, okay?''

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow. At least this was more normal..."Alright."

killian jones/hook: "Then maybe I'll try on my pink dress for you. I think I was made for it, truthfully." he struggled to keep his composure, but he knew he wasn't quite doing it right.

Aurora: She laughed, something was still off, but not as bad as it had been. At least he was trying. "I might hold you to that."

killian jones/hook: "mm... Can I say just kidding yet?" he rolled his eyes "Without at least a few drinks, you'll have some trouble getting me to do that."

Aurora: She leaned over until he could feel her breath on his ear, then she purred, "Oh I can be... persuasive."

killian jones/hook: "I'd love to see that..." he was glad that she was distracted..."

Aurora: "I'm sure you would," she had her eyes back on the road.

killian jones/hook: he was extremely out of character when he didnt' pursue her...

Aurora: She gave him an odd look. "This is where Hook would say some perverted comment? Yeash, did you forget your lines?"

killian jones/hook: "I didn't realize I had any... maybe I lost my script."

Aurora: "Yeah, too bad. There was a pretty dirty sex scene about two Act's ago, but you didn't say your line and we missed that part," she teased.

killian jones/hook: "Is that right? Was it in the bank, because if so, I definately found the wrong script. I definately didn't see that coming."

Aurora: She laughed again, that was more like him. "Yeah, but then you started acting odd. It's a real shame, that was my favorite part of the script."

killian jones/hook: "Would have been mine too..."

Aurora: Aurora raised an eyebrow. "I don't know, we could improvise? Want me to pull the car over?" she was half way teasing, half serious.

killian jones/hook: "maybe wait till we get home, princess. I would actually like to keep my car in-tact."

Aurora: "You're right, I don't think it could handle me either. I wonder if even you can."

killian jones/hook: "I've handled way more than you. Princess, if you think that you're good..." he trailed off, unable to say what he had wanted to.

Aurora: "Ooh, big talk for someone so small."

killian jones/hook: "Small? What are you, 5'6?"

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow at him.

killian jones/hook: "what? I'm sorry, are you 5'2? So sorry, m'lady."

Aurora: "A whole 34 you won't C."

killian jones/hook: "Is that right? I'll have to...check for you...you could be innacurate."

Aurora: She sighed dramatically. "Maybe, and you're just such an expert on bra sizes, right?"

killian jones/hook: ''oh you don't give me enough credit."

Aurora: "Prove me wrong then," she smirked.

killian jones/hook: "Oh I will." he didn't even say that very convincingly

Aurora: "What? Confidence level as big as what I'm going to get?"

killian jones/hook: he shrugged "I just don't relaly care."

Aurora: "Well thanks," she scoffed.

killian jones/hook: "Your welcome." he muttered as if he hadn't heard it in context."

Aurora: "Oh come on! What is wrong with you?"

thegirlwhowasonfire21: "What's wrong with you?" he retorted "I could list a lot of things, but I have a feeling you don't mean the usual."

Aurora: "Just...why are you acting so strainge?"

thegirlwhowasonfire21: he scoffed "Name a day where I don't."

Aurora: "I mean strainge as in not like you."

thegirlwhowasonfire21: "I don't know who I am, so differences may occur..." he muttered "I just thought I saw something is all, don't worry about it."

Aurora: "I'm just worried..." she said softly, and somewhat embarrassed. Jokeing about sex was one thing, actually admitting she cared...not even in the same ballpark.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: "I know." any other day he would have mocked her "Let's just go home. It's nothing."

Aurora: With a pause and a look she took off towards home. Or what she had come to call home.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: when they opened the door, there was a tall brunette woman. She was very pretty, but Aurora didn't know who it was... however it seemed to effect Hook. He stared at her, completely frozen as he dropped his keys on the floor.

Aurora: "Hook? Who's this?" she asked confused, looking between the two of them.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: (she'd probably call him Killian XD) Killian stared at her, his eyes losing their overly shiny quality. He walked up to her, touching her cheek to make sure that she was real...

Aurora: "Killan?" Mhila smiled.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: he couldn't talk, he was completely frozen. He managed to hug her, but his brain wouldn't function...frozen

Aurora: "I missed you," Mhila whispered.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: "I don't...understand...wh ere were you?" asked Killian, a foreign softness to his voice

Aurora: "I got kidnapped. It took me this long to find a way back to you, my love."

thegirlwhowasonfire21: he pulled away and kissed her deeply, completely ignoring Aurora behind him.

Aurora: Was it possible to literally feel your heart break in half? Because Aurora was sure that was exactly what was happening. She actually felt the pain in her chest that mirrored what she felt.

thegirlwhowasonfire21: "i've missed you so much." he muttered.

thegirlwhowasonfire21 changed name to killian jones/hook

killian jones/hook: belle walked out into the room "Mihla?"

Aurora: "Hello. Killain, who are these two?" Mhila asked sweetly. She knew she had him wrapped around her finger, so even if these girls were younger he'd never go for them over her.

killian jones/hook: "Oh.." he pointed to the pretty small girl "That's Aurora and.." he pointed to Belle "This is belle our old housekeeper, remember?"

Aurora: "Oh yes! Of course, I'm sorry. The face just didn't click for a moment. And how do I know Aurora, lovely name by the way," Mhila smiled. Aurora was just doing her best not to burst into tears. "I..I don't believe we have met," her voice was weak, but she had managed to choke it out.

killian jones/hook

Belle grinned "i'm glad you're back...he's no good without you."

Hook shrugged. He held his hand behind him so that she couldn't see the hook

Aurora: "I've missed him as well," Mhila kissed him on the cheek.

killian jones/hook: Belle stared at Aurora "Come on, Aurora, let's go...leave killian in peace..." she knew that Belle wouldn't like this

Aurora: "Alright...Lovely to meet you, Mhila..." it was hard to force the words out, but she followed Belle out of the room.

killian jones/hook: Belle locked the door "i'm sorry, Belle...but it is for the best you know. Mihla was always good for him, he was happy... maybe he could even be sane again..."

Aurora: "I know you're right. I know but...but..." Aurora just walked up and hugged her, the tears already flowing freely.

killian jones/hook: "I know..." said belle "But he never got over Mihla, he could have never loved you...now...if it ends this way, Aurora, you'll be able to actually have him.'

Aurora: "No. That would be horrible. If he got her back and then lost her...no. I want him to be happy. It means more to me than anything ever happening between us."

killian jones/hook: Belle nodded "I understand. But I don't think that Mihla was completely truthful about where she's been."

Aurora: "What do you mean?" Aurora asked slowly.

killian jones/hook: "I mean, that when he had mihla, killian wasn't exactly irrational. We found blood on the floor. Yes, she was gone, we never found a body, but there was too much blood for her to be dead... and we found a note...so, unless he staged her own death, I don't know how this could have happened."

Aurora: "No. No Belle, this can't be happening. He has another chance at happiness! This can't ...no..."

killian jones/hook: "I don't want it to be happening..." said Belle "I want him to be just as happy as you do, but I'm just pointing out what I noticed."

killian jones/hook: "I just don't want him to get hurt again because I don't think he can handle any more heartbreak. It only takes so much and his heart won't be the only thing to break... his soul will too, and he was getting better... so much better."

Aurora: This made the tears come faster, "And I stupidly thought it had something to do with that."

killian jones/hook: "It did have to do with you, Aurora... he was getting better because of you, but he could have never fully healed. This is the only way to fix him..."

Aurora: "By what? Breaking him again?!"

killian jones/hook: "No. By putting him back together again. If Mihla breaks him, it will not be good. At all."

Aurora: "It won't. But I can't bare to see him with her...I'm a selfish bitch aren't I?"

killian jones/hook: "No. If it happened with Rumple, I would do the same thign... "

Aurora: "Belle, what would I do without you?" Aurora hugged her again.

killian jones/hook: "Crash'n burn." joked Belle "YOu should talk to him, you know, you might find him more reasonable now."

Aurora: "What on Earth would I say? 'Oh yeah, I know your wife is back and you're totally in love with her and all, but I'm in love with you and I think she might be lying.' That would go over just great."

killian jones/hook: "no. I mean you should have a coversation. Not about mihla of course."

Aurora: "We have talked!" she snapped.

killian jones/hook: "ok, ok, but not recently. YOu might find a bit of a change. I just mean that you can't hide from him, he's going to want to talk too."

Aurora: "Why would he want to talk to -me-? He has her back..."

killian jones/hook: "Because you're still going to be your friend, and he went back for you because he couldn't stand being without you. He'll still have feelings for you, that won't go away."

Aurora: "I guess..."

killian jones/hook: "Just talk to him..." she sighed "Hook isn't stupid, he's going to want his friends as well."

Aurora: "Well it's going to rip my heart out and carve it into a million pieces to see him with her, so why not get started?"

killian jones/hook: "You can't tell me that leaving him alone is going to leave your heart in-tact."

Aurora: "Nothing will," she sighed. "Nothing except maybe just sleeping for thirty or so years..."

killian jones/hook: "No. Nothing will... look, Aurora, I don't know what you want. But don't always trust your eyes." she looked around and walked off.

killian jones/hook: Hook just stared at Mihla, trying to convince his mind that she was here... he was still hiding his hand

Aurora: "I know it's a shock, but I think we can adjust," she said calmly.

killian jones/hook: "I guess." he said, turning away "I wish I had known...This is going to kill Aurora, I think."

Aurora: Mhila looked confused, "Why would she care?"

killian jones/hook: "Because...well..." he shrugged "I think she might have had some feelings for me... truthfully, the feeling was mutual to a certain amount."

Aurora: She raised an eyebrow, "What?"

killian jones/hook: "What did you expect? You were gone for years, I completely lost it... having a crush on a girl is really not all that unexpected."

Aurora: "A crush? What did you revert back to 6th grade? I mean she looks like a 6th grader, so I don't know why I'm surprised."

killian jones/hook: "way worse..." he muttered "I basically became a psycopath. She's beautiful, by the way, she is. She doesn't look like a sixth grader... and I by no means mean that she is more beautiful than you, but she's far from ugly."

Aurora: "Honey, why are we talking about some other girl when I haven't seen you in so long? Haven't you missed -me-?" she pouted.

killian jones/hook: "More than you can imagine." he said "I'm sorry... what do you want to do?"

Aurora: "I want you to show me your hand."

killian jones/hook: he cringed and brought out his left hand, showing the sharp hook

Aurora: She gasped, "What?...Why?"

killian jones/hook: "Cut it off." he said curtly, obviously not wanting to go any further into the discussion

Aurora: Aurora was on her way to her room and happened to walk through just then. Mhila looked up sharply. "Oh-oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude," she stuttered out.

Aurora: Mhila smiled sickeningly sweetly, "Oh don't worry, I guess I should just get use to you intruding in my love life."

killian jones/hook: "Mihla..." Killian hissed "She was just passing, it's not her fault."

Aurora: "Oh yes, and it's also 'not her fault' that your -wife- is back, do you know how hard it was to get back to you?, and all you seemed interested in doing is talking about this little whore!"

killian jones/hook: "No, but all you seem to like to do is downgrade her. She's done nothing to you. I wouldn't bring it up if you didn't keep trying to insult someone who you don't even know. Mihla, I love you, but I won't sit and let you insult my friend." he actually sounded sane... she had at least done that for him.

Aurora: -Yeah, a 'friend' you were about to do in the car before we got back here- Aurora thought with spite, but kept her face neutral. "I'm really sorry if I've offended you in some way, Mhila, I didn't mean to," Aurora apologized, but didn't mean a word of it.

killian jones/hook: Hook shook his head with a sigh "You don't need to apologize, Aurora... I don't want to start a fight with anyone, and I mean anyone. But please don't insult my friends, Mihla."

Aurora: "Oh yes," Mihla rolled her eyes, "I'm sure 'friendship' is all she had in mind."

killian jones/hook: "Maybe not, but we thought you were dead...I don't want to fight with you." Anyone could see that he was getting better mentally, but he didn't seem happy. not really. PRobably because of the fighting

Aurora: "Well I don't want to fight with you either, but I also don't want to see another woman so obviously fawning over you!" Mhila snapped. "Hey! I do -not- fawn over him!" Aurora protested.

Killian jones/hook: "You can't change that, mills..."

Killian jones/hook: "You can't change that, mills..."

Aurora: "Hey! I do not fawn! And it's not like I'm even interested in Hook that way," Aurora lied. She did not want to see him so unhappy.

Killian jones/hook: He nodded reasonably "I don't know what's gotten into you... You weren't like this"

Aurora: "Look at it from my perspective," Mhila started, "What if you had spent so long trying to find your way back to me, only to see some guy hanging all over me? And me showing the same feelings? You'd be unhappy too."

Killian jones/hook: "That would be reasonable If I was showing feelings back." He said, quiet though uncertain

Aurora: Mhila was really getting angry now. "Oh please, I see the way you look at her," she spat.

Killian jones/hook: "Mihla..." He sighed "I can do anything to convince you."

Aurora: Mihla looked between Hook and Aurora, "Make her leave."

Killian jones/hook: He glared at her "no. But not because I love her. I won't make her Lear because you can't just walk into my house and tell me to get rid of my servants or my friends. You've been gone and you can't expect me not too be on and make friends."

Aurora: "I didn't say I don't want you to make friends, but how can I possibly know you're not cheating when you have some beautiful young girl so obviously willing right under your nose?"

Killian jones/hook: "I thought she was a sixth grader?" Chided hook "why would you be so sure that I am cheating?"

Aurora: "Honey, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust -her-."

Killian jones/hook: "You don't have to. I wouldn't let her do anything unless I wanted her to. So trust me and we're food."

Killian jones/hook: GOOD

Aurora: (OMG XD)

Aurora: (Can Mihla "slip" now and tell that she left?)

Killian jones/hook: (Yep)

Aurora: "See? This is why I left the first time! You expect me to trust you when you leave the perfect opportunity for you to screw up!" Mihla ranted before she realized her mistake.

Killian jones/hook: He stared at her, his eyes drooping. He didn't look angry, just...it was hard to know what he was thinking

Aurora: Aurora gasped. So Belle was right. "You bitch! How could you hurt him so badly?!"

Killian jones/hook: Hook couldn't respond, filled with an iciness that he couldn't cure. He felt as if he never wpuld. "I'm not a woman, belle, you act like I'm a pregnant, hormonal woman."

Aurora: (Uh, that was Aurora who said that...)

Killian jones/hook: (I know. Sorry, wrong name)

Aurora: (Okay)

Aurora: Aurora giggled sadly, "I know, but it's still not right."

Killian jones/hook: "No. I don't blame her for leaving me. I was never good enough. What I blame her for is leaving without tellin me that she wasn't DEAD."

Aurora: "I thought it would be easier," Mihla shrugged the same time Aurora said, "No, you're too good for her!"

Killian jones/hook: "Easier?! For you maybe. I loved you as you died...thinking you we're dead was the death of my sanity. I was sure it was my fault."

Aurora: "Well I came back!" she protested, "No harm no fowl."

Killian jones/hook: "No harm? TEAH RIGHT."

Aurora: A pure furry was coursing through Aurora. How could this horrible thing even exist? Without a second thought, or even a first one for that matter, Aurora calmly waked up and punched Mihla as hard as she could.

Killian jones/hook: Hook just sat down and did nothing.

Aurora: "You bitch!" Milha shrieked. She shot up and slapped Aurora as hard as she could. "How dare you touch me!" Mihla was about to smack her again.

Killian jones/hook: Hook grabbed her hand "how dare you touch her... Look Lila. You'd better go."

Aurora: "I don't know why I came back in the first place," she said in a frighteningly cold voice. "I hope I never see your sorry face again," she sneered before stalking out the door.

killian jones/hook: "I'm glad you did, Mihla. It was all a ploy, wasn't it? Acting like you were some perfect woman who I didnt' deserve... I'm glad that I know that you weren't the angel that I lost."

Aurora: She paused and turned back, "Oh no, I was. You just weren't who I thought you were. You didn't deserve me." She left without anther backwards glance.

killian jones/hook: "I'm not naive enough to believe you, anymore. I'm not going to go far enough to say that I hope I never see you again, but goodbye Mihla."

Aurora: Aurora didn't know what to say, not even close. So instead she just set her hand on his shoulder in what she hoped was a comforting way. She just wanted him to know she'd be there for him.

killian jones/hook: he waved to mihla, not sure if he was happy or regretful. But things were clearer than they had been in a long time. It was all a trick and he wouldn't let him lose himself again... speaking of which, Aurora had never seen the true Killian and he wanted to show it to her... so he stared at her and kissed her deeply, not letting her go for anything.

Aurora: She kissed him back, never wanting it to end, but after a moment (as soon as she could think clearly again...well...maybe more than a moment) she pulled away. "And that was for...?"

killian jones/hook: "Because you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven for too long." he sighed "i've been wanting to do that for a lot longer than I'd like to admit."

Aurora: Aurora thought her cheeks would break from her smile, "Probably a bit after I've wanted you to."

killian jones/hook: "Probably..." his eyes had lost their cloudiness and were clear...

Aurora: "Oh, so sure of yourself," she laughed. This was better than all the other highs put together.

killian jones/hook: "no. I'm not sure of myself. I'm sure that you'll leave just like everyone else, is, but I think what i've learned today is.. YOLO."

killian jones/hook: he was so different... so easygoing, so..alive

Aurora: "I'm not going anywhere." Aurora pulled him down for another kiss.

killian jones/hook: "I sure hope not..." he was careful as he was kissing her, as if he didn't want to break her.

Aurora: "Sweetie, I'm not made of porcelain," she joked, noticeing how different his kiss was to before.

killian jones/hook: "I know..." he said, but his kisses didn't grow harder.

Aurora: She gave him a confused look, "Is something...wrong?" But how could anything be wrong in this perfect moment? Why did something always have to ruin it?

killian jones/hook: "Nothing. Absolutely nothing." he gave her a smile "I just want to start slow is all."

Aurora: She paused for a minute, then gave him a confused look. "Slow? Okay, who are you and what have you done with Hook?"

killian jones/hook: "Mihla threw him away..." said killiian "I was too broken over her to accept that she was gone."

Aurora: "It's horrible what that woman did," Aurora still couldn't believe she could hurt him so easily. She was his -wife- for peat's sake!

killian jones/hook: "It is, but I suppose she was always like that... I was just too blind to realize it... and then she broke me, and I refused to let go. It was stupid."

Aurora: "You're okay now...right?" she asked in a small voice.

killian jones/hook: "Fine. Better than I have been in a while, but I'm not going to be able to be the same person, even if I wanted to, and I don't."

Aurora: "Who are you then?"

killian jones/hook: "Killian Jones.

Aurora: "I think I'm going to like that," she smiled, leaning up to kiss him again.

killian jones/hook: he kissed her back, but then was startled by a noise coming from outside "What is...?"

Aurora: "I have no idea," Aurora looked out the nearest window, highly confused.

killian jones/hook: He glanced outside and opened the door only to find nothing "I don't know, but I'm sure I saw something..."

Aurora: They then saw Rumple charging towards them. "THEY TOOK HER! THEY TOOK HER!" he shouted.

killian jones/hook: Hook glanced at him, with no demeaning hatred in his eyes for once "Belle? Calm down, what do you mean?"

Aurora: "It was her! Regina! That witch has had it out for me and now her cronies have taken Belle!"

killian jones/hook: He sighed "Ok...well I'm not going to leave Belle behind, Gold, I'll make sure that we get her back."

Aurora: "Damn right we will," he growled.

killian jones/hook: "But we need a plan, I'm not going to get into this without a plan, so...do you have one, or do we need to come up with somethign?"

Aurora: "I always have a plan. We're going to go in and kill EVERYONE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!"

killian jones/hook: "Uh-no." said Hook with a whistle "Even you're not usually that insane. That doens't sound like a very good idea to me."

Aurora: Rumple looked him dead in the eye. "What if it was -her-?" he pointed at Aurora.

killian jones/hook: "I wouldn't go in and kill everyone! I would at least come up with a reasonable plan. We have to be smart."

Aurora: "Killian is right, we need a plan," Aurora agreed.

killian jones/hook: he nodded with a wink "So I'm killian now?" Then he focused again "So tell me more about her, then."

Aurora: "You know Belle! You know I -have- to get her back!"

killian jones/hook: "I know you do, and we will. She's my friend too, I don't want her to die in a cell..."

killian jones/hook: composing himself, Rumple said "Fine. So, dearie, what are we going to do...?"

Aurora: "Who is this Regina?" Aurora asked, an idea already forming...two actually...

killian jones/hook: he sighed "She's...in the same occupation as Hook, but she's much more dangerous... if she wants you dead, you will be."

Aurora: "And why does she hate Belle?"

Aurora: "She doesn't," Rumple started, "she hates me."

killian jones/hook: "And so she's trying to get back at you by taking Belle. Got it. Then what if we take something that she loves?"

Aurora: "Like what? Her son?" Rumple asked.

killian jones/hook: "Does she have one? That would work well...?"

Aurora: Aurora raised an eyebrow, "Kid napping? Really?"

killian jones/hook: "Well there's not much I can do about it. We have to get belle back..."

Aurora: "And we will," Aurora assured Rumple. "I've just...never kidnapped anyone before I guess. I don't know how.

Aurora: "

killian jones/hook: "Ah...well sadly I have experience..."

killian jones/hook: Rumple stared at hook as if to say 'what-the-hell-he's-bein g-remorseful.'

Aurora: "Then how do we do it?" she asked gently, ignoring Rumple's confused look.

killian jones/hook: "Well first we have to know some more information about the subject, then you lure the caretakers out of the house and find a way inside the building.''

Aurora: "I know all about Regina," Rumple grumbled.

Aurora: "Easy enough," Aurora shrugged.

killian jones/hook: "Ok, then where does her son live and who takes care of him."

Aurora: "Mansion on East Boulevard, she does, keeps a close eye on him too," Rumple answered.

killian jones/hook: "Ok, then how about we say that you are going to meet with her across town and then steal him?"

Aurora: "Say I...want to make a deal? But that won't give us enough time. She'll send someone the second she sees I'm not there."

killian jones/hook: "Hmm...well then we'll take them out."

Aurora: "Without me? No," Rumple protested.

killian jones/hook: "No, you won't actually be there to meet her, that's just a pretense, which is why you'll be saying that it's across town, so that she doesn't realize what's happening for some time."

Aurora: "That's not enough time! The second she gets across town, she'll tell someone to get to her house right then, we'd be caught!"

killian jones/hook: "Fine, then I'll do it alone...with Aurora, of cousre.'

Aurora: "So I'll meet Cora while you two get Henry..." he paused for a minute to think, "I guess it'll do, but if it doesn't work we go with my plan. I'll call Regina now. Text me the moment you have him and are back here, got it?"

killian jones/hook: "Ok." said Hook "Well, we'll be off, then?"

Aurora: Rumple was chatting away on his cell, once he clicked it closed he answered Hook's question. "She's about to leave, wait five minutes then head over there. I'll go now so I can be waiting for her."

killian jones/hook: "Ok." nodded hook, once she left, he glanced at her "one last time?"

Aurora: Aurora nodded. One last high. One last -crime- high, she corrected herself. She still had him. "One last time."

killian jones/hook: he nodded and took her hand "one last time." glancing at the clock, he added "Right about now."

Aurora: Aurora climbed into the car. Her heart was already starting to race in anticipation. 'Last time,' she repeated in her mind over and over again. After this she would be -done-.

killian jones: "What's wrong?" asked killian "I know that I make your heart race, but there's no need to be so public about it."

Aurora: "Nerves." -Excitement- her mind corrected her.

killian jones: he nodded "More like, you're addicted to the high." he rolled his eyes "Funny that people take me to be stupid just because I've done stupid things."

Aurora: She flushed deep red. "I don't think you're stupid at all! I'm just... embarrassed,' she finished quietly.

killian jones: "I know." he sighed "I wish that I wasn't either...I really wish taht I could stop, but I'm afraid this is probably just an attempt to get back to the high. Once a mobmaster always a mobpersonishthing..."

Aurora: She laughed at his word choice. "That's not true. This is the last time. We'll stop," she slipped her arm through his, "together."

killian jones: "To neverland?" he smiled "Funny monicker, isn't it? Makes it seem like I'm chasing after peter pan..."

Aurora: Raising an eyebrow she said, "We are off to kidnap a boy." With a sigh she shook her head, "How did my life get to this point?"

killian jones: "it all started with a lonely mobpersonishthing. And then you let him destroy everything thta you were and corrupt you to turn intot his."

Aurora: "And you know what? I don't regret it at all." Aurora leaned her head on his shoulder.

killian jones: "I regret it for you. You were never meant for this."

Aurora: "But I am meant for you, and we'll still be together once all this stops."

killian jones: "Yep. I just hope that we don't get sucked back into this." he muttered

Aurora: "Way to jinx it," she rolled her eyes. But her worries were in the same ballpark. She got addicted after one crime high, there was no drug like it.

killian jones: "You're right, there are better things to jinx." he gave a suggestive smile "I can think of a few things that i'd like to jinx."

Aurora: "Really?" she theatricality looked over him, "Because I can't see anything I'd like to."

killian jones: "that's probably a good thing." he muttered "Ok...we're here, let's go."

Aurora: Aurora hushed when the reality of what they were doing sunk in. They were her to -kidnap- someone. -Well, we're not going to hurt him- she reasoned. Without making a sound she followed him into the house.

killian jones: Hook's heart beat out of his chest as he snuck in. he knocked on the boy's door "henry?"

Aurora: Henry jerked awake. "Hello?" he called out.

killian jones: hook glanced at him "hello..." he looked horribly guilty

Aurora: "Captain Hook?...What are you doing with Sleeping Beauty?" confusion was read on Henry's face.

killian jones: hook stared at him "Captain? Though i do like the sound of that, what the hell are you talking about?" he stepped in closer

Aurora: "Oh-oh nothing...Why are you here?..." Henry knew something was off, fear spread through him.

killian jones: "We're here to take you somwhere." said Killian "I'm very sorry..."

Aurora: Henry's eyes widened, but before he could scream Aurora covered his mouth with a rag covered in chloroform.

killian jones: "come on." he whispered "I promise not to hurt you if you don't make a sound..." sneaking off to the car, they just barely made it before regina crawled up teh driveway

(redo because Fire didn't realize Henry was out cold)

killian jones: "Come on Aurora." he whispered "Let's get out of here right now." he said, sneaking off to the car. THey had just barely made it before regina crawled up the driveway

Aurora: Aurora could feel it coming, that addictive high, and she tried to fight it off (this was not fun) but it over took her anyway. Her heart was racing, her mind fuzzy, that feeling of just being alive was bombarding her despite her attempts to block it. She sat in the passenger seat fighting the smile that wanted to spread across her face.

killian jones: Hook however, did not have a smile. His face was pinched into a grim warning, watching the boy in back. He drove off quickly, but his smile didnt' return no matter how far he drove or how much he looked at her.

Aurora: (Hey, isn't he supposed to feel the high too? For our plan to work? Maybe redo? You don't have to, but explain how he's going to get there if you don't...)

killian jones was timed out 9 minutes ago

killian jones joined the chat 3 minutes ago

killian jones: (He is, that's the problem. He feels the high and he hates that he feels it because he was trying to stop.)

Aurora joined the chat

Aurora: (okay, that makes sense)

killian jones: (yup! now rpppp)

Aurora: Aurora snaked her arms around his neck, "Why so grumpy? Maybe I could help...?"

killian jones: "I don't think so, love..." he sighed without an explanation, he continued driving while henry grunted in the back seat.

Aurora: "I always like a challenge," she purred.

killian jones: He winked swiftly "that's why you picked me, huh?"

Aurora: She laughed, "That must have been it. But why did you pick me?"

killian jones: "Have you seen yourself in a mirror lately?" He smirked "no... it's because you could actually look past my flaws without..." he looked grim "Let's just say, I'm used to Mihla, and you're so much more."

Aurora: "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. I won't let anyone know that the fearsome Captain Hook is actually," she lowered her voice conspiratorially, "sweet."

killian jones: "Sweet?" he looked playfully offended "You haven't seen me in bed yet."

Aurora: "And that is not by choice," she laughed.

killian jones: he covered her mouth "Quiet, princess, little Henry is in back... who did he say you were again? Miss. Sleeping Beauty." he grinned

killian jones: with a smirk, he added "You can be sleeping beauty if you want, but tI can't exactly go around to all of my friends saying "I banged sleeping beauty!" I don't think they'd really understand, or they'd think I was officially hearing voices, though it wouldn't be the first time that anyone has made that assumption..."

Aurora: "No, it would just be the first time anyone told you," she smiled sweetly.

killian jones: "Oh shut up!" He gave her a mischevious glance "How do you know I don't, Sleeping beauty..." pausing, he added "You know, in the book, sleeping beauty, I'm pretty sure that her name was Aurora. how do you think Henry knew your name? Or my-eh, nameishthing."

Aurora: "Well...he is the son of this Regina. She could have told him?" Aurora shrugged.

killian jones: he still looked concerned, but he nodded "Maybe. My name, at least, but would she have told him about you? If she knows about you, then who else does?" he cringed "If the police knows, you'd never be able to go back to civilization..."

Aurora: "Well..." how could she tell him? "Ella knows..."

killian jones: "Well I could have guessed that." he muttered "But...I don't think she would tell anyone about that. She cares about you too much."

Aurora: Aurora took a deep breath. "I think that might be exactly why she would tell. I think she wants me out of this."

killian jones: he stared at her "No...and besides, she's on leave. Whether she wants you out or not, she wouldn't deny you the chance to go back to your old life, no."

Aurora: "I-I don't want to though."

killian jones: "Not right now." he said, his eyebrows scrunched into a firm crease "But I don't think for a second that you'll stay." his heart raced, thinking about seriousness wasn't fixing his high "So we'll just have to make it last while we can, huh princess?" he smiled suggestively.

Aurora: "Maybe if the now is good enough, I might stay later," she smirked back.

killian jones: "YOu doubt me?" he asked, his eyes growing wild and untamed once again "Princess, you're practically a virgin until you've met me."

Aurora: "Sweetie, I've known you for seven months and I'm -still- a virgin."

killian jones: "It's probably a good thing that you can't lose your virginity just by loving someone. We all know you'd be pregnant with Rumple's kid by now."

Aurora: Aurora raised her eyes skeptically, "And Belle would be pregnant with yours."

killian jones: "Ah, we know that all the women who had ever seen me would be pregnant by now, c'mon, we know it."

Aurora: "With that ugly mug? Please, your lucky I put up with you," she teased.

killian jones: "put up with me? I am your idol! You have a picture of me in your binder that says "Ovaris EXPLODED." you have a dance just for me, and, it is preferably under the covers. You, my dear, are caught in my awesome web."

Aurora: "Oh, did you have another wet dream about me?"

killian jones: "No, dear, stop self-projecting."

Aurora: "Says the man who's been trying to get in my skirt for seven months," she rolled her eyes.

killian jones: "And this is why you should wear more skirts, do you know how hard it is to get a sneak peak when you wear pants?"

Aurora: "Well you could always peek as I shower like I do to you," she said in a perfectly innocent tone of voice.

killian jones: "Good idea, but I'll admit, I'd rather see you before you get in the shower..."

Aurora: "What? Don't like to see a woman wet?"

killian jones: "Oh I do, but they're not usually wet with...what can I say...water."

Aurora: "I just can't seem to -top- you."

killian jones: "That's probably a good thing. I always stay on top." he licked his teeth

Aurora: "Ride 'em, cowboy," she rolled her eyes.

killian jones: "I wouldn't call myself a cowboy exactly... a wrangler, maybe. It's a rougher ride."

Aurora: "Oh, but I hear princesses like gentleness...good thing I'm not Sleeping Beauty."

killian jones: "Good thing." he concluded, looking back at Henry "You know, it's a real shame that he was actually concious for part of that. Scarred for life, that kid."

Aurora: "He's not awake now," she said suggestively.

killian jones: "if we did what I wanted to do right now, he wouldn't be asleep for much longer."

Aurora: "Think you could make me scream that loud?"

killian jones: "no, but I bet I could make you moan my name."

Aurora: "Hook or Killian, which do you prefer?" she purred.

killian jones: "Depends on the situation." he stared at her "I think you know what I mean by that."

Aurora: She smiled, the high still making her mind fuzzy, "I know exactly what you mean." She kissed the crook between his neck and shoulder.

killian jones: he let out a low humm in the bottom of his throat, but pulled away "Sweetheart, my driving is bad enough as it is.

Aurora: "Oh, am I distracting you?" she asked innocently, but continued kissing his neck.

killian jones: "just a bit, princess...c'mon..." despite his words he didn't sound like he really wanted her to let go

Aurora: "I'd hurry home before we crash, if I were you," she breathed, then undid the first button on his shirt.

killian jones: he sped up conciderably, though he brought his lips to her own

killian jones: fade in

Aurora: "Well," she sighed, "that wasn't a disappointment."

Killian jones/hook: He winked "told ya."

Aurora: "I heard the way you said my name

Aurora: ! I know you liked it too!"

Killian jones/hook: "Maybe a little bit. Now you are officially not a virgin."

Aurora: "Ella's gonna kill you," Aurora sing-songed.

Killian jones/hook: "Let's see her try, huh?"

Aurora: "Hm.." she shrugged, "I was expecting some skezy joke about a threesome. But I guess I'm enough for you, huh?"

Killian jones/hook: "It came into my head, but I pushed it aside. I may be a bad person, but I bristle at the thought of forcing a pregnant woman to bed."

Aurora: "Well then it's a good thing I'm not pregnant, and that you'll never have to force me," she kissed him again.

Killian jones/hook: "Let's go before rumple catches us..." He muttered

Aurora: "We still have to trade for Belle!" she exclaimed. Honestly, she'd forgotten.

Killian jones/hook: "Yep..." He muttered, then saw Henry out of his room "oh hello..."

Aurora: "...You're going to trade me back to my mother?" Henry asked, quite scared actually.

Killian jones/hook: Hook nodded "what else would I want with you? We never meant to hurt you." His eyes softened

Aurora: "I just don't trust pirates. Even if your girlfriend's a princess," he shrugged.

Killian jones/hook: He stared at him "trust me, she's no princess, and I've never touched a lick of saltwater."

Aurora: "Not that you remember."

Killian jones/hook: "Maybe in a dream?" He said "can't say I know what you mean."

Aurora: "So when am I going back to my mom?" Henry changed the subject.

Killian jones/hook: "As soon as we can get belle back. You see, your mom tool someone very important to mr. Gold ad we intend to get her back in exchange to you."

Aurora: "Oh...I wish she would get over that. But an Evil Queen will always be an Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin will always be Rumpelstiltskin."

Killian jones/hook: "Rumpelstiltskin? Isn't that anther fairy tale?" He tried to think of golds first and

Killian jones/hook: Name but couldn't

Aurora: "You'll find out eventually. And Captain? Watch out for Phillip, he'll come back."

Killian jones/hook: "The hellos Phillip?" He asked ad turned to aurora "maybe I'm not the one who's hearing voices."

Aurora: The name tugged at her mind, but she couldn't place it, instead she shrugged, "No idea."

Aurora: "He's your prince," Henry answered.

killian jones: he raised an eyebrow "what, then what am I? not a prince, surely... I'd be a pretty psycopathic prince..."

Aurora: "No, you're Captain Hook. You know, Neverland?"

killian jones: "Captain hook?" he laughed "I thought you meant that because the girls call me hook." he paused for the affect of the joke, but realized he was a kid "Never mind, I promise you i've never been to neverland, or met peter pan for that matter."

Aurora: Right then Hook's cell went off. It was Rumple.

killian jones: he answered it "What do you want, gold?" he hissed

Aurora: "Regina is ready to make the trade," Rumple said simply.

killian jones: "Ok. So what's the plan?"

Aurora: "Regina isn't letting me out of her sight. When Gram shows up with Belle, make the trade," Rumple explained.

killian jones: "ok." said hook "we'll be careful."

Aurora: Rumple hung up the phone. "What next?" Aurora giggled.

killian jones: "We have to trade off henry when this 'gram' comes for him."

Aurora: "Simple enough," Aurora shrugged.

killian jones: he nodded "C'mon henry...just don't call me hook, it's strange when a little boy does it... i'm not that insane."

Aurora: "Aye aye, Captain," Henry was relived to be headed home.

killian jones: he nodded "Er-good luck?" he asked. He had been made better by aurora, that much was obvious.

Aurora: "Well this was never in my book. Sleeping Beauty and Captain Hook...Who knew?"

Aurora: "I'm not Sleeping Beauty," Aurora smiled, "but thank you."

killian jones: "But i'm totalyl captain hook." he smirked suggestively at aurora.

Aurora: "On the other hand, he's so boring he does put me to sleep..."

killian jones: he punched her shoulder playfully "Well I can tell you that she's no beauty, henry."

Aurora: "Now you don't really think that," Belle said, appearing with someone holding one of her arms.

killian jones: "She started it!" he grinned "Now let's trade fair and square."

Aurora: Gram eyed him nervously, he'd heard Hook's reputation. Gram let Belle go and grabbed Henry by the arm, taking him back to the car he arrived in.

killian jones: he smiled at belle "Good thing you're back, I thought rumple was going to bite off my other hand."

killian jones: off."

Aurora: "And what a tragedy that would be. We all know you need that one for feeling up Aurora."

killian jones: he rolled his eyes "Yeah well, had he done that, rumple wouldn't have lasted long, and he needs a life for feeling up you."

Aurora: Belle looked to Aurora, "What do you see in him, again?"

killian jones: he shrugged and waited for Aurora's answer with a raised eyebrow

Aurora: Aurora looked Hook up and down before turning back to Belle, "Basically, he's Doctor Frankenstein and I'm his monster. He brought me to life."

killian jones: "Frankenstine?" he looked dissappointed "I thought I was captain hook? ...wait is that the one with the long beard?

Aurora: She rolled her eyes, "Don't try to grow a beard. Your perfectly sexy as you are."

killian jones: "No, I'm not doing that. I was just referring to the fact that captain hook had a beard. A long, ugly black beard. Does henry think I have a beard?"

Aurora: Belle look confused, but Aurora just gave him a 'really?' look.

killian jones: he sighed "I'm going to go shave now... see you two later..."

Aurora: Aurora just rolled her eyes.

killian jones: belle smiled "he's going to go shave? Cute. At least he doesn't look like the real captain hook... that'd be...a bummer."

Aurora: "I like him for his personality, not his looks, thank you," Aurora huffed.

killian jones: "Well I like rumple!" She laughed "I don't like him for his looks either, he's not a monster..."

Aurora: "And I believe you about that. Most people would say Hook's a monster as well."

killian jones: "no, he's not a monster, he's just...lost." said Belle

Aurora: "No. Not anymore. I hope so anyway. He was fine but...I have a bad feeling he might slip back..."

killian jones: "Well you did kidnap henry... that would achieve a high... how was he afterwards?"

Aurora: "He was the most amazing in be- oh you mean sanity! Riiiight..." she had never blushed so badly in her life.

killian jones: belle laughed for a few minutes "Yes I mean sanity! How was he in the head?"

Aurora: She paused for a minute. She might as well say it. "Not as good as he was in bed."

killian jones: she rolled her eyes "ok, I get it, he's amazing in bed, I expected that after all the bragging. I mean, was he in on the high or not?"

Aurora: "He was as high as I was...we're doomed."

killian jones: she sighed "It's not going to be easy to get him off of it again." warned Belle "You're going to have to make sure that he stays home as much as possible..."

Aurora: "But...But -I- don't want to stop! I liked my life with him! I care about him no matter what! And...if it's what he wants..."

killian jones: "If you care about his sanity you won't, aurora. He'll lost it again..."

Aurora: "But if he's happy...isn't happiness worth sanity? That's the price I paid..."

killian jones: "No, not really." she said "He'll be just as happy here, with you. And if hook's sanity dies again, he'll eventualyl be caught."

killian jones: Killian walked in again, though it didn't look like he had shaved. Instead, he had a map. "So...where to next?"

Aurora: "What do you mean?" Aurora asked, leaning over the map.

killian jones: Belle shook her head and walked off, giving Aurora a knowing glance.

killian jones: he glanced at her "I think you know what I mean. I heard you. If you don't want to stop, then we won't."

Aurora: Aurora gave Belle a pleading glace. What could she do? Her eyes widened. He'd heard her? "I-I don't know. Whatever you want to do I guess."

killian jones: Belle stayed there, crossing her arms as if to say "What?"

killian jones: Hook shrugged "Well...I'm fresh out of ideas, c'mon, you're new."

Aurora: "Well...we still have all that jewelry we stole. Maybe it's time to sell it?"

killian jones: "Alright." said hook with a hungry grin "Let's go."

Aurora: Aurora smiled and took his hand. Yes, she was feeling extremely guilty thanks to Belle...but she knew what would fix that. "Allons-y"

killian jones: he hook her hand and pulled her out to the car where they drove to the black market "Hey! (belle's dad's name) We'd like to sell something?"

killian jones: TOOK NOT HOOK

Aurora: It was the smallest of things. The sail of some jewelry. But just knowing it was stolen, knowing they were doing something -wrong- set off the high again. They didn't need the money, they had plenty. Doing wrong for the sake of wrong was effecting her worse than before. Maybe it was mixing with some leftover high from Henry, but for some reason when she got back to the car her mind was fuzzyer than it had been in forever. She took Killian's flask out of his pocket and took a long pull, the vodka burning on it's way down. She stared giggleing.

killian jones: he laughed with her, letting out a high-pitch whistle "That was brilliant!" he immidiately grabbed onto her, his heart pounding, and forced his lips upon her.

Aurora: She reciprocated the kiss immediately. "Fantastic!" she agreed.

killian jones: He seemed to want more than a kiss, but he settled himself with a hard kiss and a long drag of alcohol.

killian jones: "I could do this forever." he whispered "Forever and ever and ever...with you..."

Aurora: "That would be my perfect life. I'd never leave you, we'd just go wherever whenever. That would be the best thing in the world," she sighed. "Why don't we?"

killian jones: "oh come on? A life with me? When I'm 70 years old, stealing cars is not going to be nearly as easy." a narrow thought came into his head. This wasn't a life, chasing the highest high at every moment. There were better things. Life...Love...and there was only one way that he could love her.

Aurora: She laughed, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there."

killian jones: his high was rather disintegrated while he thought about what she could have been. He suddenly turned around and started heading north.

Aurora: "Where are we going?" she was still all smiles.

killian jones: "It's a suprise." he said, but though he tried to keep his voice happy, it dove down into depression zone.

Aurora: She looked at him confused for a moment, then snuggled closer, "Wherever we're going, I trust you."

killian jones: he stiffened, but wrapped an arm around her "why couldn't you have been rumpelstiltskin?"

Aurora: "...What?" she giggled nervously.

killian jones: "it would have been far easier not to love you..." he laughed at the idea, but then cringed, imagining holding rumpelstiltsksin.

Aurora: This took her back completely. "You love me?"

killian jones: he cringed "I didn't say that. I just said that it would have been easier not to love you-as-in..." he was in a complete loss for words

Aurora: She leaned in and kissed him. It was the nicest 'shut up' she could think of. "I love you too."

killian jones: he pulled away from the kiss too soon-the strange things they did while driving "I'm starting to think I should get a full time job driving..."

Aurora: "We haven't died yet, even though I tend to... distract you."

killian jones: "Oh no, it's definately rumpel. You see, I like to pretend that you are him...the things i'd love to do to him..." joked Hook, but then cringed

Aurora: She fake sighed, "Well if you knew half the things Belle and I did when you two are gone..."

killian jones: "No, no, don't get those images in my head, i've already got..." he shuddered and stopped the car at teh CIA office.

Aurora: The alarm bells in her mind started going off the moment she noticed where they were. "Killian...? Keep driving."

killian jones: "Why would I? We've reached our destination. Just trust me, okay?"

Aurora: "W-what are we doing?" she demanded, starting to panic.

killian jones: He held her in his grasp "Don't worry, Aurora. You act like I'm going to drop you off and leave." he smirked. In fact, he had no plans of leaving.

Aurora: She took a deep breath. "I know you wouldn't do that. It's just...what -are- you going to do?"

killian jones: "I told you, princess, it's a surprise! Gosh, don't be so hasty."

Aurora: She looked wearily at the building. "Alright," but her voice was unsure.

killian jones: he took her hand and pulled her into the building, walking leasurely through the halls, waiting for someone to apprehend them.

Aurora: Aurora's other hand was shaking. She was just a step behind him, like she was trying to hide. What was he doing?!

killian jones: he made sure that she could be seen from all angles and stuck his tongue out through a door that he randomly opened.

Aurora: Snow stepped out of her office, she was about to go grab a coffee. She blinked a few times to make sure what she was seeing was real. Yes, it was. They were right in front of her.

killian jones: hook waved with his-well-hook and said "hello! Oh you're the boss, right? right. Hello! Glad to meet you, i've heard so much about you!"

Aurora: "Killian," Aurora hissed, fully panicked now. WHAT WAS HE DOING?!

Aurora: Snow shook herself out of the astonishment as quickly as she could. "You're under arrest, both of you," she said coolly.

killian jones: "Wait, wait, I believe that I should say something first. I forced mrs. Aurora here to do everything that I said, and in return, i'd let you put me under arrest in the end." he turned to Aurora, making sure that she knew to go along with the story

Aurora: Aurora looked at him with absolute horror and shock, she couldn't say anything. How could this be happening?

killian jones: Snow stared at them both "Well, do either of you have lawyers?"

killian jones: hook nodded "Yes, I have quite a good one, surprisingly." he put out his hands "Handcuffs don't fit on the hook, but then again, one hand should do."

Aurora: "Since you're turning yourself in that shouldn't be necessary. If you'll come with me I'll take you to your temporary cell. Aurora, I shouldn't do this, but Ella is in her office tell her to take you to her place. She is to let you stay until morning. Got it?"

killian jones: he waved to Aurora "G'bye, love!" he then turned to Aurora "I'd love to turn her in as well, but these were the consequences."

Aurora: Aurora didn't know how to respond. With one last glance back at him, Aurora made her way to Ella's office in a daze.

killian jones: Ella glared at her "Here to tell me about your woes and then screw it and run off again?"

Aurora: "He turned himself in," she said, still in a daze.

killian jones: "he...did?" asked ella, her blue eyes rounded in surprise "Why would he do that? With his crimes he'll be in for life!?"

Aurora: "I-I have no idea. He just drove up and went right up to Snow before I knew what happened!"

killian jones: "Ok... so what are you doing here? Not going to drive off and go kill some poor merchant?"

Aurora: "Snow told me to stay with you tonight..."

killian jones: "Fine." snapped Ella "I'll be going home in a few minutes. Just...sit here I guess."

Aurora: Aurora sunk down in the seat. She was crying before she knew it, which quickly escalated into sobs. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry," she repeated over and over again. She didn't know who she was apologizing to or what for. It just felt like what she needed to be doing at the moment.

killian jones: Ella's harsh blue eyes softened "It's ok. It'll just take some getting used to, is all."

Aurora: "Getting use to what? Seeing the love of my life in prison?!" she sobbed.

killian jones: "No. I can't really say I'll mind that. I'll have to get used to...trying not to be angry at you.'' she pursed her lips shut

Aurora: "Oh...Oh gosh, Ella...I've really f**ked up this time, haven't I?"

killian jones: "Yeah." said Ella quietly "But you can't go back in time. So you'll have to get over it. Besides, he'll have a plan, i'm sure. he wouldn't just turn himself in. The man's a hardened criminal."

Aurora: Aurora shook her head, "No. No he's not. Not at all."

killian jones: "I saw his crime list." she said "If that isn't a hardened criminal, then I don't know what is."

Aurora: "But...But he's not like that! He doesn't act like a 'hardened criminal'..." she protested.

killian jones: she turned her eyes down in an impression of hook, drawing her toungue over her teeth "Sweetheart, i'm almost in hard in bed as I am in your heart."

Aurora: That got a small chuckle from Aurora, "That doesn't even make any sense."

killian jones: "I know, but c'mon, you can't tell me that he doesn't say freaky things like that." she rolled her eyes "Well, c'mon, i'm done with work."

Aurora: "Not that freaky! He does make the weirdest sex noises though..."

killian jones: "I don't even want to know." said Ella, putting her hands up in surrender and getting into her car. She whistled "Nice car, though!"

Aurora: "Back seat's pretty comfortable too," Aurora smirked.

killian jones: "Again! Do not involve me in...this..." she shook her head "Nuh-uh. I don't tell you about -insert name here- do I?"

Aurora: "I have no idea what you're talking about," Aurora said innocently.

killian jones: she shook her head "just get in the god damn house." she said playfully

Aurora: "Because you really don't want to hear about any of it right? Sigh, oh well, I guess I can just tell all my other friends," she rolled her eyes.

killian jones: ''not about the sexual aspects of it! I don't mind you telling me about HIM."

Aurora: "Well...what do you want to know about him?" Aurora settled on the couch, ready for some serious girl talk.

killian jones: "why do you like him? Who is he other than a criminal?"

Aurora: "He's...amazing. He's nice to me, but teases a lot too. He's smart, so smart, but also a smartass. And he has the best eyes..." she trailed off, her voice resembling a sigh.

killian jones: "What color are they? I didn't see that on the file. Smart, though? Isn't he a drug addict?"

Aurora: "Blue. And...yes, he was."

killian jones: "Was? What do you mean? He seemed like kind of a stoner to me."

Aurora: "He stopped. He doesn't do drugs anymore...Not-not that I honestly minded..." her voice was quiet on the last part.

killian jones: she nodded "YOu're good for him, then. If-you know, he wasn't in jail i'd demand I meet him."

Aurora: "You sound like Belle."

killian jones: "Belle?" She looked confused "Either way. He's smart? really? He didn't seem like the smart type..."

Aurora: "A friend. Yes, brilliant actually."

killian jones: "Huh. Weird." she shook her head as daniel walked in and a smile crossed her face. He stared at them both and said "Care for some drinks?"

Aurora: "I'd love one," Aurora smiled half heartedly.

killian jones: Daniel nodded and got Aurora a drink and Ella some water before giving them some space. Ella blushed and said "So...Do you think that he's going to get out?" (wanna do snow and hook now?)

Aurora: (Sure! You start)

killian jones: (ok)

killian jones: "It wasn't that I minded hurting her, it was that...well...for her, making her do horrible things was probably the worst thing that I could possibly do to her. And anyway, go on, tell me what my "style'' is."

Aurora: Snow looked at him with disgust. "You really are this sick and twisted? You wanted to make her suffer? For-for what? What did that accomplish?"

killian jones: "A lot more than I thought it would." He sighed dramatically "yes, i'm sick and twisted, but apparently I'm not without a heart." he said the word heart with disdain "Now look, you're not my lawyer, so what are you doing?"

Aurora: "I'm trying to protect my friend, and figure out what was done to her. What do you mean you're not without a heart?"

killian jones: he cringed "I didn't do anything to her except exactly what I said." he stared at his hook for a second, realizing how twisted he had been before her.

Aurora: "Your style is that you usually seduce whatever agent we send, then we find her body about three day's later."

killian jones: he tilted his head "Yeah, I guess that's about when the voices start telling me to kill them."

Aurora: Snow's eyes widened, "...What?"

killian jones: "I"m kidding, sorry inside joke." he rolled his eyes "I'm mentally insane, but not THAT insane. I should probably be checked, seriously, though, I wonder how hilarious that diagnosis that would be..."

Aurora: "You regard your mental state as...hilarious?" she raised her eyebrows.

killian jones: "After this long, yes." he rolled his eyes "Ts'not like I can really do anything about it."

Aurora: "That might not be true. You don't seem...-too- mad."

killian jones: "Oh, maybe not anymore... asked me a couple weeks ago and the question might have been different." he cringed, thinking of Mihla "Let's just say some women would be better dead."

Aurora: "Like Aurora?" Snow raised an eyebrow. Now she was getting somewhere.

killian jones: "No, no, she's not better off dead, that's why I brought her here. She would be much better here. She could have a life, live."

Aurora: "So why did you stay? Why not just drop her off and run?"

killian jones: he stared at her, not wanting to give her the real reason, that he had not wanted to leave her, that he feared he would lose his sanity again if he did. He shrugged "i've never been much for planning."

Aurora: "Interesting...Mr. Jones, there's only one logical answer I can think of to this question, and unless you give me the real reason I'm going to assume I'm correct. Why?"

killian jones: he shrugged again "I'd rather you decide, women seem to have rather... strange fantasies when i'm around."

killian jones: (expecially smurfy)

Aurora: (you have a point)

killian jones: ( *laughing smiley* )

Aurora: "So you are in love with her," Snow concluded.

killian jones: he laughed "Told you women had strange fantasies. Do you really think that someone who would cut his own hand off in insaity could love someone?" (she doesn't know that he cut his own hand off)

Aurora: Snow gasped. "-You- were the one that did that?" She paused for a moment. "Yes, I do think it's possible considering you're not insane anymore."

killian jones: "Anymore?" he licked the tip of the hook "oh I think you'd be surprised. But anyway, believe what you wish."

Aurora: Snow stood, "Come on. You have a cell calling your name."

killian jones: "Oh, I think I'll pass, not all people who call my name are friends..." he muttered, but followed her "Expecially fangirls."

Aurora: Snow just rolled her eyes.

killian jones: once he was locked in the cage, he said "See you later, m'lady."

Aurora: The next day Aurora's hands were shaking as Ella brought her to Snow's office. She hadn't slept for a minute the previous night.

killian jones: Snow opened the door "Hello, AUrora! I just wanted to ask you a few questions..."

Aurora: "Of course," Aurora tried her best to smile.

killian jones: "So what exactly did he do to you?"

Aurora: Aurora sat down across from Snow and took a deep breath. She had been working on her story all night. "Like he said, if I went with him he'd turn himself in. And if I didn't...he said he'd hunt me down later and kill everyone I cared about."

killian jones: she raised an eyebrow. Killian had said little of this the night before. "Interesting. So would you be willing to press charges against mr. Jones?"

Aurora: This was the question she had been debating in most of the last twelve hours. "No," she answered, "I believe that what can already be proven against him will be sufficient punishment."

killian jones: she nodded "Ok, that's all. YOu will not be locked up for your crimes, since they were mr. Jones doing, but you can attend his court date as a witness or otherwise. I understand why you would want to be there either way."

Aurora: "What's going to happen to him?" the words were out before she gave them permission to be spoken.

killian jones: "Well, he's pleading guilty. I don't think his life will be ended, but he will probably be in jail for life. YOu know that murderers aren't always treated well in jail, anyway."

Aurora: A sudden wave of sickness hit her. Her stomach felt like it was about to heave and the room spun a bit. No.

killian jones: "I..." she paused "I think he actually wants this, though. Maybe he's guilty." the thought of killian being GUILTY was hilarious

killian jones: "Aurora?" she asked, flushing "Are you okay?"

Aurora: "I-I think I'm going to be sick," she didn't think of how Snow would wonder -why- she'd be sick. Aurora just knew that the worst thing of her nightmares was probably about to become reality.

killian jones: Snow realized that maybe Killian's attraction might not have been one-way. "Of course... you can go, Aurora. His court date is tomorrow at 6."

Aurora: "I'll be there," she said too quickly.

killian jones: she nodded "I'm sure you will.."

killian jones: _ _

killian jones: Killian's sister looked much like hook, except her wide eyes were a light brown instead of striking blue. Her hair was short and spiky, and her eyes wide-set and brown, giving off a kind of hard feell that was hard to get past. Her personality was too much like hook's too miss and as she greeted Aurora at the door, she cringed, recognizing her "I'm sorry for what my brother did. he's a bastard."

Aurora: "For what?" Aurora asked off guard.

killian jones: "Um-oh I don't konw..." the girl widened her eyes in mock confusion "Hmmm...let's think about it... he forced you to do crimes, and I'm sure he did more than that. he never leaves them untouched. I've seen the records." she crossed her eyes with a kililan-ish smirk

Aurora: "Oh, yes. Sorry, I guess my mind isn't here today," Aurora tried to laugh off her blonde moment.

killian jones: she smiled "It's ok, I'm sorry, I'm mad at killian, not you. He was always...I don't know, the normal one of the family -not that that really means anything in my house- but it's just a bit of a shock. I think when my mom sees him, she's going to stab him with a knife."

Aurora: Aurora's eyes widened, she had no idea how to respond. "Oh..."

killian jones: she smiled "Uh-sit down...Killian-or is it hook? He'll be talking about 30 minutes, but his family hasn't seen him in 6 years, so you know, we'll have to talk to him...probably for the last time...if you want to, he seems fond of you, you could talk to him too, but...I understand why you wouldn't."

Aurora: "I-I probably should. I'm so sorry about all of this though, it must be hard on your family."

killian jones: "Yeah. it is." said Johanna (thats her name-yes) "But there's not much we can do about it, so..." she trailed off "Oh, there he is..." she widened her eyes "Well he looks rough..."

Aurora: Aurora looked up. "What do you mean? He looks...like he usually does."

killian jones: "To you. Last time I saw him, he'd throw a fit if he didn't have a shaver for a day." she shook her head "These 6 years have not been good on him."

Aurora: "Oh..." How different was he? What had Mihla done to him?

killian jones: Hook glanced at his family, but he wouldn't walk over to them. He was guilty, contrary to popular belief, and he didn't think he could face their angry faces anymore.

killian jones: His mother tentitively walked over to him, trying to make herself believe that it was in fact him, but her brain wouldn't do it. This couldn't be her boy...his eyes were too wild, he was too untamed. he had been such a good boy...flirty, but good except when it came to girls.

killian jones: Hook glanced back at her, but he couldn't make himself hold her gaze. A rush of guilt flowed through him yet again

Aurora: "Killian?" his mom just needed to talk to him. Find out what turned her son into...this.

killian jones: he looked up yet again, his blue eyes filled with cautiousness, as if he felt like she was going to whack him with her cane. However, he punished himself, making himself watch her eyes "Yes?"

Aurora: "What happened?" she asked simply.

killian jones: killian bit the side of his lip "I suppose you'll see when I have to speak for the court. I'd rather not repeat it." he snapped, then realized who he was talking to and looked down, ashamed.

Aurora: "Just know that you are my son, and nothing you have done can ever change that," she kissed his forehead like she was sending him to his first day of kindergarten, not to a court trial.

killian jones: he stared at her, not quite understanding how she could still...love him "I deserve it, you know. I turned myself in because I can't live with the guilt anymore. If they kill me, that would probably be better for everyone."

Aurora: "I don't know about that. That's not something I could get over, and I don't think that pretty little girl over by your sister could either...call it mother's intuition."

killian jones: "Yeah. She probably wouldn't, but I've kind of messed her up anyway. She's not going to live the same way."

Aurora: "Sometimes when we think we've made a mess, we've really created a piece of art. I'll let you think on that," Killian's mother made her way back to her seat.

killian jones: he stared back at her, confused but somewhat enlightened. He should have talked to her before, she might have...helped. After Mihla's death he should have talked to her.

killian jones: A man grabbed killian's chain and dragged him to the front where he would be giving his story.

killian jones: (i mean, the lawyer asks him questions, lol)

Aurora: "Mr. Jones, you have committed countless crimes, including murder. Do you deny this?"

killian jones: "I'd have trouble doing that since you found the bodies...so uh-yeah, no."

Aurora: "And what reason do you have for murdering these innocent people?" the lawyer questioned.

killian jones: "Well, if I wanted to stay out of jail, I would plead insanity." he grinned at his mom suggestively as if to say 'Oh c'mon, we always knew I was off my rocker' and then, because he didn't actually want to talk about mihla, he said "Certain events happened and it led to insanity. Simple enough."

Aurora: His mom gave a small smile, this was the Killian she knew, even if he didn't look like it. He still had that look in his eyes. "So what made you 'come to your senses' enough to turn yourself in? An insane man wouldn't have done that," the lawyer continued.

killian jones: "No, he wouldn't have, no. You see, my wife died, this led to insaity, don't like saying it, but then again, that would be important to the story. Or at least, I thought she died, you see, she left a suicide note and pretended that she had killed herself. She said that it was my fault, but see, she came back about a week ago and told me that she just left. And so, this is how the insanity began and ended..."

Aurora: "A week, hm? If you claim this supposed 'insanity' ended a week ago, why didn't the crimes stop there?" the lawyer continued.

killian jones: "there's a reason that I'm pleading guilty, miss." he said, rolling his eyes. (aurora and mom's response?)

killian jones: "there is something wrong with that man." muttered johanna to his mother.

killian jones: *HER*

Aurora: His mom held a sad smile on her face. She knew that woman would be his undoing, but he wouldn't listen to her when she tried to warn him. Now here he was, paying the price for it. Aurora did her best to keep her face neutral. She knew if she let anything in out she'd break down crying. She would run up to him and...she had no idea what she would do. "Oh yes, and that just makes it all better, doesn't it?" the lawyer continued. "Would you like to tell that to Miss Aurora? The woman you've held captive for -seven months-?"

killian jones: "Nope. I think miss Aurora knows very well that I turned myself in. I can't do anything for her, but I'm doing all I can."

killian jones: "oh come on, she liked it." he mouthed to his mother

Aurora: "You held her captive, forced her to do horrendous crimes against her will, and you think pleading guilty can make that up to her? Ladies and gentleman of the jury, what could honestly make up for something like that?"

killian jones: "No, no, I don't think I'm making it up to her, nothing will ever do that. But I'd rather do this than hurt more people, thank you very much..." he muttered

Aurora: "So you don't want to hurt people anymore? What made it okay in the first place? What -satisfaction- could you possibly get from that?"

killian jones: "Satisfaction? Oh so much." with a small regret of letting his whole family hear this, he added "I loved to see how these people ticked. Every death, you get to see so many different kinds of people, and nothing made it right but I loved it. As I said, I was insane. Insane enough to cut off my own hand, so yes, I can probably say that I was insane enough to kill people and probably still am."

Aurora: His mother didn't show her reaction. She didn't want Killian to know how he had just broke her heart. He wasn't the same son anymore and she had known it, but she hadn't known it had been like that. But this was hard enough, she had to be strong for him. Aurora was scared to find this didn't effect her like it should. She was sad for these people of course, but her concern was for him.

killian jones: Johanna's eyes widened and she whispered "Well...that was morbid."

Aurora: The lawyer looked disgusted, "Killing was a psychology experiment?"

killian jones: "Pretty much. It's in the psycopath job description." his eyes were cold and hard

Aurora: "And what else is entitled in this 'psychopath career'?"

killian jones: "Pretty much just...murdering people." he calmed down, sitting awkwardly in his chair. "That's pretty much it... other than with Aurora."

Aurora: His mom smirked a bit, she knew she was right about them. Aurora's eyes widened, this was dangerous territory for her. If he spilled too much she'd get life as well, and she couldn't really help him if she was in the slammer. "Oh? What was it with her?" the lawyer asked.

killian jones: "Nothing. Guess I wanted to try something new." he glared at her as if to say 'and if you suggest anything else, you won't get a thing out of me.'

Aurora: "Something new? Please elaborate," her tone suggested that he better answer or else.

killian jones: "I think you know exactly what I did to her. That was new."

Aurora: "I didn't think rape was anything new," the lawyer challenged, trying to trap him.

killian jones: "Rape?" he hissed "No, no, I did a lot of things, but that was never one of them."

Aurora: "Hm, why not? I mean, what stopped you? It couldn't have been morals."

killian jones: he was caught "Well I suppose it kind of was. I could never do that... I just couldn't..." no matter how strange that sounded, that would have been crossing the line.

Aurora: "You couldn't? Why? Was she -important- or -different- in some way?" the lawyer eyed him like a cat eyeing a mouse.

killian jones: "No-I wouldn't do that to anyone, not just her."

Aurora: "Really?" the lawyer raised an eyebrow, "Because there's forensic evidence saying you did."

killian jones: he stared at her, confused. He'd never raped anyone, he didn't understand...oh... .he bit his lip, not really knowing what to say "I never did that. You can ask her if you want."

killian jones: he opened his mouth "Oh! That one! Right, that wasn't rape, sweetheart."

Aurora: "Oh, then what was it?" she glared at him. The lawyer didn't like having this criminal calling her 'sweetheart'.

killian jones: he raised an eyebrow suggestively "Well..."

Aurora: "Yes?" she tapped her foot impatiently.

killian jones: "Let's just say it wasn't my idea." he rolled his eyes "It's not rape if she was the one suggesting it."

Aurora: "Oh yes, because women are just crawling all over their kidnapper," the lawyer had an acidic tone of voice.

killian jones: "You'd be surprised. But the point is, if I can't prove my point, neither can you."

Aurora: Aurora raised an eyebrow, this was more the Killian she knew. "So if you were use to this, and Miss Aurora didn't, you still didn't force her because it's what you expected?" the lawyer challenged.

killian jones: "Ha-no. I'm not used to that, it's just a reaction. It's what people's brains do when they get scared. They speed up and do the irrational thing. Aurora's didn't, but I didn't force her to do anything, and we didn't do anything." (they can't prove that tehy did as long as Aurora is alive anyway XD)

Aurora: "Would you care if we asked her that?" the lawyer raised an eyebrow.

killian jones: "Go ahead." he said

Aurora: "I call Miss Aurora to the stand then," the lawyer said.

killian jones: the lawyer stared at Aurora, her voice much lighter now "Now, dear, is it true that Mr. Jones raped you?"

Aurora: Aurora made her way up to the stand and replaced Killian. Taking a deep breath Aurora began, "No, Killian Jones did not rape me."

killian jones: she nodded "Now what exactly happened, Aurora? WHat happened in your point of view?"

Aurora: "Mr. Jones forced me to commit crimes with him against my will," Aurora said.

killian jones: killian rolled his eyes but didn't make a noice

killian jones: The lawyer nodded, "What about this supposed insanity?"

Aurora: "That I can confirm, I felt it too," the last part slipped out.

killian jones: "What?" asked the lawyer, confused

Aurora: Well crap, she had slipped, and now she had to explain. "When you... commit a crime... there's an insanity that just...comes over you...like a high," she had to take a deep breath between every few words, but she finally got it out.

killian jones: she nodded "Well fine, but I mean that was he mentally insane? Not just a high. The kind of insane to cut his own hand off?"

Aurora: "Yes, he did cut his own hand off."

killian jones: "And who told you that?"

Aurora: "Mr. Jones told me this," she answered. "But with all the time I spent with him, it's completely believable."

killian jones: "Why? What else did he do that suggested that he was... insane?"

Aurora: All the memories of their time together flashed through her mind. "He...He -forced- me to commit -crimes- with him," was the only thing she could come up with.

killian jones: she nodded "Ok, you can sit down now, Aurora. Now listen. TO those in the jury, does this man really diserve to live after all of this? He's killed so many, do you really think he deserves to live?"

Aurora: Aurora's eyes widened. No, this couldn't be happening. She sent Killian a panicked look. The jury went to deliberate. Aurora made her way over to Killian. "Hey," she whispered.

killian jones: Killian glanced back at her "Hey." he said softly, ignoring the looks that he got from his family.

Aurora: "Well that was...interesting," she sighed.

killian jones: he nodded "GOing to my death wouldn't be fun." he said, his mind obviously on one track.

Aurora: She had no idea how to respond, so she did what she had learned to do the past months, perverted comment. "Going to my bed would be more fun," she whispered to him.

killian jones: "ISn't it always?" he rolled his eyes

killian jones: his eyes had lost their passionate wildness and he turned to her "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I had to do this... I'm sorry that I'm not sorry."

Aurora: "You have to do what you have to do. I just have to know...why? Our life was so great..." she looked up at him with sad eyes. Was it something to do with her?

killian jones: "No. That's the problem, Aurora. IT wasn't great. It shouldn't have been like this. I should have met you at work, proposed, we should have had a life... and it's my fault that we never did.. for that I really am sorry."

Aurora: "Killian," she gave him a quick kiss, "no matter what it 'should have been' I wouldn't have traded a single moment of it for the world.

Aurora: "

killian jones: "I would trade it all for another one." he said, but kissed her as well, not really caring that his family was there, or the lawyers.

Aurora: The lawyer's eyes widened and she marched over to them. "I knew it! I knew he was forcing you into a sexual relationship!" Aurora gave her an exasperated look, "Shut up, trust me, it's completely voluntary."

killian jones: Hook rolled his eyes "yeah, she's completely struggling. I'm having trouble keeping her here." he said drily

Aurora: "Totally," Aurora laughed and kissed him again. The lawyer just looked to be in shock. "But-but he forced you to...he held you captive...what?"

killian jones: "I forced her to do crimes with me, I never forced her to do -anything-else." He pulled away from her

Aurora: "But...but...but..." the lawyer just turned around awkwardly and walked away.

killian jones: he sighed and waited for the verdict, his arm around her waist, as much as he would disagree, nervously.

Aurora: Aurora had her arm around his shoulders, nothing had ever been more nerve wracking in her life.

killian jones: Snow's eyes widened, but she wasn't surprised. She had known that there was a reason she was acting like this. And Hook had seemed...different

killian jones: Johanna stared at her mom like "WHAT THE HELLO IS HE DOING?"

killian jones: Hook bit his lip, waiting...waiting...and the jury arrived "We have our verdict!"

Aurora: Killian's mom bit her lip. She knew Aurora was good for him. It was obvious how in love they were from the way they looked at each other, but he could be ripped away from her in the blink of an eye. Her -son- could be killed. Silent tears started rolling down her face. She knew she didn't have to be strong for him anymore, he had Aurora for that now.

killian jones: He looked back at his mother and brushed the tear away from her eye "I wish it could have been different." he said softly

Aurora: "Or verdict is...GUILTY! Sentence, death."

killian jones: he hung his head, though he didn't seem surprised. He brushed the hair out of his face and kissed her one last time before being taken away.

Aurora: "No," Aurora whispered, she clung to him for dear life, "No, they...just no!" Tears were falling freely and she would not let go of him. The jury looked at her oddly but no one said anything.

killian jones: he whispered to her "Aurora, you have to let go." he sighed, and his breathing was too fast "Aurora, let go."

Aurora: "I love you, I'll get you back," she whispered frantically before kissing him one last time. She let go and ran the other way as fast as she could, the tears streaming down her face. This couldn't be happening.

killian jones: "No. No, AUrora, I want this, don't do anything rash." he said, before leaving with the guards.

Aurora: Aurora collapsed out in the hallway. She sank down against the wall and let the sobs take hold of her.

killian jones: Snow crouched down next to Aurora "I'm sorry..." she said, her face one of sadness

Aurora: "Why? You shouldn't be! He's a criminal and now he's getting what he deserves!"

killian jones: "He's a criminal, but you and I both know that he's changed for the better. He doesn't deserve this and neither does his family."

Aurora: "How do -you- know that?"

killian jones: "I saw him. It's not the first time I've met him. He's a lot different now. And look at his family. They don't deserve this, do they?" Johanna was sobbing, crouched down next to a wall, unable to stop.

Aurora: "I know. I know they don't! I know he doesn't! But what can I do? -He- did this! What do I do?!" her tone had turned desperate and pleading.

killian jones: "You can't do anything accept remember him now, Aurora." Said Snow sadly.

Aurora: She started thinking back on all the times they had spent together. All the way back to that first robbery at her own office. That's when it hit her. There -was- something she could do. "Snow," she gave the other woman a hug, "you are one of my best friends, and I'll miss you so much."

killian jones: "What?" asked Snow "What are you going to do?"

Aurora: "Something that's completely insane. And you probably won't see me afterwards. I'm sorry, but I love him," she looked at Snow with sad eyes, pleading for forgiveness. She hoped that Snow would understand.

killian jones: Snow nodded "Go ahead, but I'm not telling Ella."

Aurora: "Thank you for...everything," she hugged her one more time before heading out of the courthouse. She hopped into the car that Snow had let her keep and drove straight to the house.

killian jones: Belle opened the door "Aurora? Where's hook?"

Aurora: "On death row! He turned himself in!"

killian jones: "What?" said Belle, her heart pumping "Okay, then what are you doing here? We need to get him out before he makes a mistake that he will NEVER escape from."

Aurora: "That's WHY I'm here. I need you and Rumple's help. I have a plan," Aurora breathed.

killian jones: she nodded "Ok. Rumple should be in here somewhere. I'll get him."

Aurora: "Thank you." Aurora made her way to the front room and sat on the couch, waiting for Belle to get Rumple while she mentally reviewed her plan one more time.

killian jones: Belle came back with rumple who said "And why -dearie- should I help you get back hook? If you haven't noticed, we're...not the best of friends."

Aurora: "Well she's sitting right next to you. Without Hook and I you wouldn't have gotten Belle back. You owe me," she was -done- being scared of him.

killian jones: Mr. Gold sighed. He didn't like being in debt "Fine. Do you have a plan?"

Aurora: "I do actually. I know what prison he'll be kept in for the week. Belle will distract the front desk while you and I sneak into the prison dressed as guards and break him out."

killian jones: "Ok." said gold with a sigh "I'll pretend to be his lawyer if I must."

Aurora: "Perfect. First thing in the morning then? I'll call the prison now and set up the appointment with his 'lawyer'."

killian jones: "Alright." said Gold, looking at belle as if to say 'if only you hadn't been taken...'

Aurora: _ _

Aurora: Aurora took a deep breath as she walked into the jail with Gold. They were searched, then lead into a private room where Hook had already been taken.

killian jones: Killian sat, his dull eyes staring, fixed at the ground as if he could not rip his eyes away. he didn't seem to hear her.

Aurora: The guard left them alone and Aurora smiled, but when she looked back at Killian she frowned again. She hated seeing him so broken. She touched his hand, about to unlock the one cuff that held him to the table with the key she had pick-pocketed the guard for.

killian jones: He continued staring at the ground as if he hadn't seen her or felt her at all. His eyes didn't blink, he just stared, as if in another world.

Aurora: She undid the cuff and tilted his chin up towards her, she was -not- going to be ignored by him. "We're going home, now."

killian jones: "That won't work." said a tall, graceful woman walking into the room. She didn't look like she really cared that Aurora was taking him "He hasn't talked for days. he won't respond."

Aurora: "He'll talk to me. I'll just have to try something else." Aurora thought for a moment, then slapped him hard across the face.

killian jones: he recoiled, but didn't come out of his mind, he was just stuck looking the other way.

killian jones: she shook her head "Whatever. If you can get him out, then...well...good luck to you."

Aurora: She rolled her eyes. "Always so suborn..." she murmured. She'd tried slapping him, so this time she tried kissing him.

killian jones: this time, he looked like he was seeing her through a thick piece of plastic. He looked like he wanted to say something but...didn't

Aurora: Aurora sighed and took his arm instead, pulling him up. This wasn't the time for this. "Come on Rumple, if anyone tries to stop us, hit them with that cane of yours."

killian jones: Mr. Gold nodded and glanced at Hook "Is there something wrong with him?" they got back in the car without TOO much infraction

Aurora: "I guess...I don't know, he's not...responding," Belle was already driving off. Aurora was shaking Hook's shoulder, trying desperately to get him to just -talk- to her.

killian jones: Hook layed his head on her shoulder, closing his tired eyes...he knew that she wasn't real but he could at least pretend that she was.

Aurora: Aurora ran her fingers through his hair. Tears were silently dripping down her cheeks. She had just gotten him back, and he was still gone.

killian jones: Belle looked back worriedly "Hook? HOOK?!"

Aurora: "He's not answering...Killian?" she whispered his name again.

killian jones: he opened one eye and then yawned "Sweetheart if you're not going to let me get my beauty sleep, we're not going to get far."

Aurora: "Killian!" she exclaimed. "Oh my gosh!"

killian jones: he yawned again and continued leaning against her

Aurora: "Yeah, hi. I just broke you out of jail when you were on death row, no big deal or anything!"

killian jones: "Mmhmm." he said, still in a complete daze. he wouldn't let himself believe yet another fantasy

Aurora: "WAKE UP ALREADY!" she yelled in his ear.

killian jones: he cringed "You're not usually so loud." he muttered. in his fantasies, she was usually slightly um-quieter.

Aurora: "Then stop being in a daze or whatever...come back to me..."

killian jones: "I would if you were real, love." he said, messing up her hair.

Aurora: She looked at him with concern. "Killian...what do you mean? I -am- real...?"

killian jones: "mmm, that's what you always say." he stared at her and breathed in her scent "though I'll admit that this one is somewhat more realistic.

Aurora: An idea came to her, "And what would prove it was real?"

killian jones: "You've tried everything already..." he sighed and sat up in his carseat.

killian jones: (he's on like...really heavy drugs XD)

Aurora: "I know, how do I prove it? That this isn't another dream?" It made her a bit happy to know he dreamed about her. It made her happier than she'd admit to really.

killian jones: "As I said, princess. You've tried eeeevverythingggg..." he laughed slightly and dozed off a bit again.

Aurora: Aurora looked over to Rumple, "Something is -really- wrong..."

killian jones: Rumple looked back "Maybe testing his blood-alcohol level would be a good idea." he said, raising an eyebrow

Aurora: "But he was fine yesterday, and how could he have gotten alcohol in jail?"

killian jones: "Oh it's easy enough I'm sure. You give the prisonerse something, and they sneak it in. Of course ALCOHOL isn't common, but... harder drugs can be."

Aurora: "Hard drugs?" she squeaked and looked at him again, running her fingers through his hair. This was not good, so not good!

killian jones: "Yes..." said Rumple "They can be severely addicting as well so you'll have to watch him."

killian jones: "And from what you said that the guard said, he's been using them for several days."

Aurora: "I won't let him out of my sight."

killian jones: _

killian jones: Hook groaned, rushing his hand through his hair.

Aurora: "How do you feel?" she asked quietly.

killian jones: he shook his head "Just brilliant, princess."

Aurora: "What happened? You were -really- out of it...I was so worried..."

killian jones: "Yeah...good stuff..." he muttered, still clenching his head

Aurora: "What do you mean?" she gave him a strange look.

killian jones: "Mmm. nothing..." he was obviously still pretty drugged out.

Aurora: "Oh no," she sighed. This could not be happening. "Killian...do you remember who I am?"

killian jones: "Course princesssss..." he dragged out

Aurora: "Princess?" he'd never called her that before...

killian jones: "Yeah...princess..." he sat up shakily "Sleeping beauty, remember? Your brain isnnn't. soooo good...isit?"

Aurora: "Sleeping Beauty? What?" She had gone from confusion to completely baffled.

killian jones: "Yeeeah... you're sleeping beauty... the boooy... said you weeereee...and I believe it..."

Aurora: "Ah..mhmm, and you believe this why?"

killian jones: "I don't know, princess. Don't you beeliveee in Maggicc?"

Aurora: "No, it's completely illogical," that that she'd been living her life in a very logical way lately...

killian jones: "Hmmmm...well I think it makes perffect...se...ns... .e..."

Aurora: "And why do you think that?" Keep him talking...thinking...

killian jones: he silently dozed off, his form looking too peaceful against the bedframe. (I want to get him sober and this is the best way to do it.)

killian jones: when he woke up, his eyes were much sharper and they had lost their pearly tint. "Hey sweetheart." he said, glancing at her as if she was the most glorious thing that he'd ever seen "Sorry...about...that.. ...took a few too many..."

Aurora: Aurora had been waiting at his bedside as he slept. She had been so worried. "Few too many of what?" she whispered, relief was washing over her.

killian jones: "I didn't really ask" he said, sitting up

Aurora: Aurora gave him a you've-got-to-be-kidding look. "What? You just took some random pills that were handed to you?"

killian jones: he tilted his head and then nodded "pretty much, love."

Aurora: She sighed, "And why would you do that?"

killian jones: "Hmm...I dunno, maybe it was the fact that I was on death row... no wait, it was the cookies."

Aurora: "...What?"

killian jones: he rolled his eyes and leaned closer to her "What would you have done?"

Aurora: "Cookies?" she raised an eyebrow.

killian jones: "No! I was kidding, though they did have some pretty nasty cookies in jail. Or at least I think they were cookies..." his eyes widened "Probably not cookies. I mean if you were on death row, and were handed pills, what would you have done?"

Aurora: She thought for a moment and sighed, "I guess you're right. I was just...so worried."

killian jones: "Why? Did you think I was going to die from a few pills?" really, he had been trying to overdose, but need not know that (YES SHE DOES)

Aurora: "Yes! I was terrified!" tears were threatening again and she threw her arms around him.

killian jones: he was suddenly infected with a flash of guilt. How had he tried to kill himself when she had rescued him. "I'm sorry." he said, holding her, glad that he had not been killed by his own actions.

Aurora: "Why didn't you think I was real?"

killian jones: "Well, i'd found you once upon a dream, I was having hallucinations, it's hard to tell what is real and what isn't..."

Aurora: "What kind of hallucinations?"

killian jones: "Usually you were there, but there were other people too. Occasionally cheese."

Aurora: She laughed, "I don't think I want to know."

killian jones: "Probably not. Glad I didn't die, Rora."

Aurora: "If you would have died I would have killed you. Just...promise you won't leave me again?"

killian jones: "I never left." he sat up "I just felt...really guilty and I couldn't live with it. I didn't think about death row, just jail."

Aurora: "You really don't plan ahead, do you? How many did you take anyway?"

killian jones: "Um..." he paused, thinking "At least 10."

Aurora: Her jaw dropped and she finally pulled away. "What?"

killian jones: he rolled his eyes "I said I took a few too many."

Aurora: "That's more than a few! Were you -trying- to kill yourself or something?!"

killian jones: "well..."

Aurora: She looked at him with shock and hurt, her eyes watering. "What?" she breathed.

killian jones: "I was going to die anyway." he said, but he realized that it was a feeble response.

Aurora: "What? You didn't think I'd get you out?!" she demanded.

killian jones: "No, not really. I told you not to do anything rash, and when I said that, I said it pretty much thinking 'she's not going to try to break me out.'"

Aurora: "OF COURSE I BROKE YOU OUT! Do you think I can live -without- you or something?!"

killian jones: "Yes!" he hissed "I do!"

Aurora: "How...how could you even -think- that for a -second-?!"

killian jones: "How could I not?" he asked "Look Aurora, I'm tired, I don't want to do this right now."

killian jones: a sharp craving hit his gut, but he ignored it. Maybe when she left...maybe...

Aurora: She took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll come back in a bit. But Killian? I. Love. You. And I'm -always- going to come after you. Remember that." She walked out of the room and made her steps sound like she was walking away. Something was wrong and she was going to find out what...

killian jones: he fumbled in his pack and took out one pill. Just one, he wasn't going to overdose, but he was craving the affects too strongly to just ignore it anymore.

killian jones: *pocket*

Aurora: The door banged open and Aurora was across the room in a heart beat. Before he had time to hide it Aurora snatched the pill out of his hand.

killian jones: Hook tried to wrestle it out of her grasp "Stop it! Aurora, what are you doing?"

Aurora: "Making sure you never have any of this horrible stuff again! It almost took you from me!" she fought against him. She would NOT let him get it back.

killian jones: "I wasn't trying to overdose, AUrora." he growled, throwing her softly against the bed "C'mon."

Aurora: "I don't care! I'm not letting you have any more of these!" She was still fighting.

killian jones: "Aurora." he hissed "What is the point in doing this? It's only one. I'm not trying to kill myself."

Aurora: "No!" On an impulse, a last resort, she popped it in her mouth and swallowed it to get it the heck away from him.

killian jones: "Aurora!" he snapped. Whatever about him, but why in the world would she take it? He didn't want her to get addicted too "Aurora what did you do?"

Aurora: "You are not going to get addicted to this! Now, you won't be able to," she said triumphantly.

killian jones: "You really think that's the only one I have? Really?" he stared at her "There was no point to this."

killian jones: he sighed and pulled her on top of him "OK, I'm sorry. But it's just so..." he trailed off "You'll understand shorty." -sigh-

Aurora: "So...what?"

killian jones: "Perfect. It's perfect. But I do love you, so i'll try to respect your descisions. Okay?"

Aurora: "I love you too," she smiled.

killian jones: he brushed the hair out of her face "But I can't say I'm going to stop. You've never had any trouble with me drinking or anything in the past."

Aurora: "But I thought you wanted to change?" her eyes were just starting to turn cloudy, but she wasn't out of it quite yet.

killian jones: "Change as in, not killiing people, that has nothing to do with sex n' drugs."

Aurora: Aurora giggled, "Sounds fun."

killian jones: "WHat does? Killing people or drugs?" he raised an eyebrow, keeping her firmly in his arms.

Aurora: "Both!" she laughed, all smiles.

killian jones: "What?" he asked "Oh, it's kicking in... he though grumpily "no, it's not. Other than drugs, they're perfectly fun."

Aurora: A feeling of complete euphoria was spreading throughout her. "Oh, I could have a -lot- of fun with you. Actually, we already have," she giggled again.

killian jones: he stared at her "I'd lock you in this room alone, but then you'd find the rest of the pills, and you do NOT need any more."

Aurora: "But why would you want to leave? Everything is so great right now!"

killian jones: "For you maybe." he growled "For me, it's not. If you get addicted to this stuff... it'd be REALLY annoying."

Aurora: "But it's okay for yooou?"

killian jones: "Yup." he said, rolling his eyes "I've always done stuff like this. You've never cared before."

killian jones: (he's extremely tired because of the drug crash)

Aurora: "But that's not fair!" she whined, "Why do you get to be happy and I don't?"

killian jones: "You can be perfectly happy, Aurora, just not like this." he scrunched his eyebrows together, this wasn't good. he didnt' want a drug addict as a... girlfriend?

Aurora: "How can I be perfectly happy if you're doing -this- and I can't?" she pouted.

killian jones: "How can you not? One pill won't make me psycotic like this. I don't know why you care if I do this, I've always drank and done drugs, why does it matter now? My brain is already fried anyway. You, on the other hand...I can't love you if you do. It'd ruin you."

Aurora: "How could this possibly ruin me? It's marvelous!" It didn't make sense in her drug induced euphoric state. How could anything that felt so good be bad for her? She didn't remember why she had wanted to stop him. If she would have known she would have joined him instead!

killian jones: he sighed "This'd better wear off soon..." he closed his eyes, still overly fatigued from the drug.

Aurora: An idea came into her sloshed up mind. Maybe if he did it, he wouldn't be so grumpy anymore. "You should take one too!" she encouraged.

killian jones: he stared at her "I would, but then I'd get in trouble with you later."

Aurora: "Of course you won't! Not now that I know how great this is, take one," she purred.

killian jones: he sighed "I really, really want too...but...I'm not sure that you'll stop if I don't."

Aurora: "Of course I won't stop," she nibbled on his neck.

killian jones: "Aurora." he pleaded, actually beginning to get scared "Don't do this. Please don't. I'll try to stop if you do. I promise."

Aurora: "Why would I want to stop?" she said, her breath hot on his skin.

killian jones: "Because... you're aurora! Well not right now, but..." he pushed her off of him and leaned over her "Just...You don't want this, it doesn't seem like it right now, but I promise."

Aurora: "Oh, I know exactly what I want," she smirked at the way he was holding her.

killian jones: he cringed "Aurora...gosh I'm glad that you didn't take ten. It'd take about 10x longer and I can not do that. Just a few more minutes..."

Aurora: "I hope you'll last longer than that," she purred.

killian jones: "I will, but this...high won't. God I realize how scary it was for you now." he sighed and traced the outline of her face "I'm sorry." he rested his head against her.

Aurora: "Don't be sorry. This is great," she sighed.

killian jones: "I know." he said, counting off the time. It would only be a few more seconds...just a few..."

killian jones: he sighed and slipped off of her "I'll see you in a few seconds when you wake up, okay?" He made sure to take all of the addicting substances with him.

Aurora: "But you said you wouldn't leave..." a hint of sadness slipped into her voice.

killian jones: "Yes, but I CANT deal with this right this second. Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes, I promise." he dipped over to kiss his forehead.

Aurora: "Please don't leave..."

killian jones: he closed the door behind him, slinking to the carpet. He was so...so tired but he couldn't be with her...maybe this drug wasn't all that good.

Aurora: Aurora stumbled out after him. She felt so...alone without him. After the burst of joy, the sadness was devastating. "Hook?"

killian jones: he ignored her, quite annoyed. his temper flared strangely and he slammed his fist into the door where she would be standing.

Aurora: She jumped back in fear. The tears were falling from her eyes. He had never scared her before, not like this.

killian jones: immediately, he felt bad, but not enough to apologize to her. He was still in a horrible mood.

Aurora: "I hate you," she whispered in devastation and ran back into the bedroom.

killian jones: "I know." he said, sighing. He really hoped that she wasn't fully awake because he didn't want her to hate him, but at the moment, he was too tired to care. He knew that she should hate him and so he said so.

killian jones: he opened the door and raised an eyebrow at her, but he wouldnt' go any closer. Those three words still burned in his mind...

Aurora: Aurora collapsed onto the bed and cried. Everything was so messed up. She didn't -want- to hate him, but no other emotion toward him would come.

killian jones: He sighed and sat down on the bed "I'm not going to apologize, you know." he said "I don't really know what I did, first of all, except hit the door, so...I wouldn't know what to apologize for even if I wanted to."

Aurora: She didn't even agknowledge his presents.

killian jones: he clenched his jaw "YOu know what, AUrora? I took 10 of them. I had a 10x worse low than you, and I didn't once pretend that you didn't exist. Nor did I "hate you" so next time you ask why in the world I would doubt that you loved me, you'd better understand why."

Aurora: Through tears and her feelings of despise towards him, she kissed him. With all the emotions, hate, love, anger, sadness, worry, all poured into one kiss. "I hate you," she kissed him again.

killian jones: "I know you do." he said, and pushed her down "But right now, I'm not doing this." he put his hands up in surrender and backed out of the room.

Aurora: "Killian..." she weakly called after him.

killian jones: _ _ _ IN THE MORNING

killian jones: Killian woke up, completely clear. He had thrown away all of his pills in the nighttime. He turned over, his heart filled with a dark feeling that he didn't like.

Aurora: Aurora woke up feeling alone and empty. She didn't like waking up without him next to her.

killian jones: Hook took out a glass and filled it with whisky. If he couldn't have what he wanted, this was second-best.

killian jones: he couldn't stand being without her... he had to fill himself with something to fill the hole.

Aurora: She made her way into the living room, dreading what she would find.

killian jones: he glanced at her, surprisingly sober, but then took a sip of whisky. He ignored her presence just like she had ignored his the day before.

Aurora: Awkwardly she sat down next to him, "Hey."

killian jones: he finished off the glass then turned to her "What." he said simply, though it didn't sound like a question

Aurora: "I...I don't know," she sighed.

killian jones: he poured another glass "You had to take the pill..." he muttered

Aurora: "It was stupid," she agreed. "I was just so worried about you..."

killian jones: "You don't have to be." he hissed "I was fine. But I guess I can't be mad at you..."

Aurora: "Do you really think you were fine?" she stared at him.

killian jones: "Yes." he said simply "But as long as you're here, I'll stay that way... just don't leave please."

Aurora: "Why would I leave?"

killian jones: "Because you hate me, remember?"

Aurora: "Killian," she ran her hand through his hair, "I love you."

killian jones: "That's not what you said last night." he said, though he didn't look angry, just horribly sad.

Aurora: "And why would you believe me?"

killian jones: "Because you once told me that you would never lie to me. If that was a lie, then you are really bad at making promises."

Aurora: She sighed. "I wasn't lieing. In that moment I did hate you. I hated you because I was so worried about you. I hated you because I love you so much."

killian jones: he kissed her and when he pulled away, he said "then starting today, I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you. So...will you marry me?"

Aurora: Aurora could almost cry of happiness. "Of course, you moron!"
