Aurora: 21. He was once a god of the worst extent. He was the god of misfortune. Of course, he gave up his immortality to be with a woman. Stupid, I know. Then she died. He meets an Egyptian historian who is more than a little bit interested in who he really is
Killian jones: he had been sitting in a white room for as he could remember. Well-no, he did remember a life before, but... it was such a long time ago that it was hard for him to try to remember. Especially with all of the drugs clogging his system. He had no name. The god of misfortune was too terrifying for a name. They knew who he was, and he didn't need one. Nothing had happened for a long time, except tests and procedures, and he hadn't seen a human in ages. Except now. A short, thin woman walked in, looking wary, and yet terribly interested.
Aurora: "Um, hello Mr..." she checked her clip board. "Jones."
Killian jones: He stared at her, tilting his head. He looked more like a cat than a human, really, though he was very handsome. He wasn't used to trying to look like a human. He didn't really care about it. "Jones?" he croaked, his vivid blue eyes narrowing. They could do many things, but though he was mortal, he was still a god, and they would not give him a human name. He did not deserve that disgrace.
Aurora: She unconsciously took a step back. He was...creepy. "It-it says on your file t-that your name is Killian Jones. Is there something else you wish to be called?"
Killian jones: "I don't have a name..." He muttered, leaning back in the white bed. He was too drugged to think clearly, but for the human's safety, it was probably smart.
Aurora: "Then what am I supposed to call you?" she lifted an eyebrow. "If you don't like Jones and won't give me a name...?"
Killian jones: "I have been called many things..." he didn't speak very loudly. "Cybele, Nyx, Anake..." He looked at her with cat-like eyes "You can call me whatever you like. My business is not with human affairs."
Aurora: "Then why are you here?" she inquired.
Killian jones: "Immortality was a price to pay...but death always wins. Misfortune always collects it's dues..."
Aurora: "I'm not sure I understand..." He was such an... intriguing character. Claiming to be an ancient Egyptian god when that couldn't be possible. Yet he sure had the power to prove it. How they had caught him and kept him here she would never know, but she did want to know more about him. Even if he was extremely creepy.
Killian jones: His eyes sharpened past the mist that they seemed to be made of "You, love... will pay someday too." He then sunk past into his drugged state. "Do not be afraid of death, Aurora Rose... Death is only the beginning, after all."
Aurora: Her eyes widened in shock. How had he known her name? "Odd. Humans always see death as the end."
Killian jones: "I am not human." he muttered, his long claws digging into the white bedding. "And gods do not like being controlled..."
Aurora: "Then you have human like qualities. Most humans don't like being controlled either." Her mind continued with 'yet everyone still tries to control others,' but she didn't say it out loud.
Killian jones: "Gods are the manifestation of human spirit. Many would say that it is the other way." He looked down at the sheets and seemed confused that they were ripped. He tilted his head, again looking much liike a cat.
Aurora: "That would mean that we created you," she corrected. It hit her just how feline-like he was and she was both fascinated and grossed out.
Killian jones: His drugs had been pulled out so that he could talk to her, so the longer he stayed awake, the clearer he became. Of course they knew that he would never be awake enough to cause any damage. "No, it would mean that your thoughts and minds called for something greater than yourselves."
Aurora: She scribbled a note of that. "Interesting..." she muttered to herself. "So that would mean you're not the only one here?"
Killian jones: "No. I am very alone. Very alone indeed..." His blue eyes seemed to grow a shade brighter every passing moment. He seemed far more aware of his surroundings. "Immortals don't bother themselves with humans."
Aurora: "Then why did you?" This was her main question. Everyone else had stopped bothering with asking him long ago, but she was too curious to give it up. So when she got the opportunity she took it in a heart beat.
Killian jones: A flash of his godlike side flashed in his eyes; a furious, unforgiving nature being shown, but he soon calmed himself. "That, my dear, has nothing to do with you..."
Aurora: Her first instinct was to jump back in fear, but she refrained from doing so (barely). She needed to keep calm and just talk to him. "Then what -would- you like to discuss?"
Killian jones: "I don't believe it is my choice. If there is anything I have learned about your kind...you do not dissuade easily."
Aurora: "I can see no reason why you would think different, but there are some that are. Personally I came here to learn about you, so really anything you want to talk about is still what I want," she shrugged. "I guess you're right though, about me at least. I am stubborn."
Killian jones: "Yes..." he said softly. His emotions seemed to change radically, from dazed to furious to calm. "I prefer not to talk at all."
Aurora: She sighed. "The one way I won't get what I want. Nice."
Killian jones: He spread his mouth into an animalistic smile. "What do you say...if you get me out of here, I'll talk as much as you want..."
Aurora: "You honestly think that would be even possible for me if I wanted to?" she raised her eyebrows. "I would think you were smarter than that."
Killian jones: "I think you would find yourself very fortunate if you tried." He said, his creepy smile only growing. He enjoyed the power flowing back into his veins, and being able to think was definitely useful.
Aurora: "I think I'd lose my job and be shipped back to America to be thrown in prison." Okay he kept getting creepier and creepier...maaaybe this was a bad idea...
Killian jones: He shook his head and tsked at her. She didn't quite understand the power of misfortune, did she? Of course he could also dessimate her misfortune, meaning that he could get out of here with her help. "On the other hand...if you don't...you might find yourself in a very precarious position.
Aurora: "Like?" she prompted. Not that she would ever actually consider it. This was just a way of learning more about him.
Killian jones: "Ooh, misfortune has already taken a toll on you, has it not? My, I am sorry... well, at least you still have aquaintenses...parents.. .it could be much, much worse...believe me..."
Aurora: She bit back whatever she was about to say. He was bluffing. There was no way he could know about Phillip. "I don't fear you."
Killian jones: His smile dissappeared, replaced with a wide-eyed expression. He obviously was not surprised, however. Just very...feline... "He need not have died... they ned not either."
Aurora: "And my time here is up, which means I need to go," she replied calmly. With a respectful nod she headed out the door.
Killian jones: He called after her "Phillip won't be the first..."
Killian jones: Belle was waiting for her outside "So! How was it?''
Killian jones: *last not first*
Aurora: She paused. How was it? "Creepy as hell, but very fascinating."
Killian jones: "In what way?" She looked at Aurora, smiling. She'd always loved egyptian mythology.
Aurora: "He was very...cat-like. Besides just the eyes. The way he moved...Very unnatural."
Killian jones: "Well...do you think he's really..."
Aurora: "I don't know honestly. He..knew things. Things he shouldn't have. I really don't know," she bit her lip in thought.
Killian jones: "Do you... Think I could meet him some time?"
Killian jones: A doctor with a scryng in hand smiled at aurora and walked into the room of the unnamed god.
Aurora: "I don't know if you'd -want- to meet him, Belle. He's...it's rather jarring to meet him." Aurora's eyes followed the doctor. Whatever he was about to do to Killian wasn't nearly as humain as her conversation with him.
Killian jones: "We'll... I still need. To write a paper on Egypt... It might help."
Aurora: Aurora laughed, "Then just go outside. Did you forget where we are?"
Killian jones: "true enough! But what happened?"
Aurora: "Well..." she bit her lip. But no, this was Belle, her best friend. She could tell Belle. "He threatened me. Said if I didn't help him escape...he said that Phillip wouldn't be the last."
Killian jones: her eyebrows rose. "That's... Not creepy at all."
Aurora: "My point exactly," Aurora nodded.
Killian jones: "maybe you should ask someone about it...
Aurora: "Yeah. I'll just ask Whale about it. He's in charge of The Jones Project anyway."
Killian jones: "sounds good... I mean that's kinda scary..."
Aurora: "I'm not worried. It's not like he can actually do anything with how drugged up he is."
Killian jones: "that's sad..."
Aurora: She sighed. "Yes, but it's necessary. You'd see why if you talked to him." She wasn't sure she believed it, but she couldn't say that right now.
Killian jones: "I guess..." She frowned
Aurora: "I'll see you later. I'm going to go talk to Whale now." Aurora waved and headed off towards the office chunk of the building.
Killian jones: whale glanced at her "ah, aurora."
Aurora: "Good morning," she smiled as she took the seat across from his desk. "I just need to speak with you if it isn't a bad time?"
Killian jones: "of course not... What is t?"
Aurora: "I just was able to speak with-with , thank you for letting me by the way, and...well..."
Killian jones: "we'll...?"
Aurora: "He threatened me, and I know it sounds silly, but he is heavily sedated enough that he wouldn't be able to..do anything, right?"
Killian jones: "well..." E paused "I'm not sure."
Aurora: Aurora took a deep breath to make sure what she said -didn't- come out in a yell. "What?"
Killian jones: "some of the test we've done on it... They turn out strangely. I'm really nt sure."
Aurora: "Strainge how?" Normally this wouldn't be so important, but with the lives of her family possibly in danger...yeah, IMPORTANT.
Killian jones: "he's still strangely powerful even with the heavy drugs..."
Aurora: "What are some things he can do?"
Killian jones: "We'll he is the god of misfortune and mischief..."
Aurora: "Can..." she took a deep breath again, "Can he make people die?"
Killian jones: "probably...why?"
Aurora: "He threatened to kill my family, that's -why-," she snapped. Her eyes widened when she realized how mean that had been. "I-I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said it like that I'm just worried, and a bit scared now, and still jarred from that," she ranted.
Killian jones: "well... He can be a bit terrifying... He's not near as scary without the drugs... I'm not sure why. Well what can we do?"
Aurora: "You're right. You're doing everything in precaution that you can. There was just one more thing I wanted to ask..." she trailed off, now unsure if she should.
Killian jones: "go ahead."
Aurora: "You were very generous to let me speak with him even once, and despite the creep-out factor, I truly learned a lot and I...I was just wondering if you'd let me speak with him again sometime?"
Killian jones: he paused and then nodded "of course. We can set up a time next week if you wish."
Aurora: She smiled, "That would be lovely, thank you."
Killian jones: a week later, killian was almost completely drug-free, which was a huge relief. He did t like the feeling of fuzziness. Of course, when aurora walked in, he knew why.
Aurora: "Hello again, Mr. Jones," she gave her friendliest smile. "How are you today?"
Killian jones: he smiled almost pleasantly "hello miss rose."
Aurora: "How do you know my name?" she inquired.
Killian jones: "we've met before." He explained "at the death of your beloved.. It was quite misfortune te."
Aurora: "You know about Phillip," she commented. "It's odd though, you seem to know me, yet I don't know or remember you. How can that be?"
Killian jones: "Well, we've never met face to face. However, I keep balance and Phillip was a casualty. I know you simply by aquiantance. He was quite adamant about leaving you behind."
Aurora: "You," she choked and forced back the tears that were creeping up, "You know Phillip?"
Killian jones: "Of course." he shrugged "I took him to the Duat..."
Aurora: "To the what?"
Killian jones: "The Duat...you may know it as the underworld..."
Aurora: "Ah...And what do you mean about him being adamant about leaving me?"
Killian jones: "Souls rarely leave this world without complaint. He merely said that death would not take him away from his love."
Aurora: "Oh." She was lost in her thoughts for a few minutes. More thinking out loud than talking to him she said, "I hope he's happy now."
Killian jones: He shrugged "That's really none of my business." He stared at her as if he couldn't comprehend what she was feeling. He could read her thoughs, and he had felt love, but hers was something...that he couldn't imagine. His emotions didn't range nearly as far as a true mortal's.
Aurora: "Can gods feel love?" she asked after his confused expression.
Killian jones: "They can." He looked sad for a moment, which didn't quite fit him. "Perhaps not as strongly as you, however."
Aurora: "That seems nice. Sometimes emotions suck."
Killian jones: He stared at her, his strange blue eyes widening "Why have you come, Aurora Rose?"
Aurora: "Just Aurora is fine," she made her way to the chair in the room and sat down. "And I've told you, to learn about you. You're very interesting."
Killian jones: "And very dangerous. Humans are so very fragile, like glass...why you would stay around someone so... interesting is beyond me."
Aurora: "I'm a scientist, it's kind of my life. Besides, I've thought about it, and I'm not afraid of you, even if I am so 'fragile'."
Killian jones: He tilted his head and smirked, making him look far more human. "Mortals are interesting. It's been long since I was so fiery...'
Aurora: "-You- were mortal once?" She definitely took a note of -that-.
Killian jones: "A very long time ago." He seemed to ponder the idea, his eyes growing hazy. He was obviously still very drugged. "It seems much like another lifetime."
Aurora: "What happened?" It was honestly more personal curiosity now than scientific.
Killian jones: "I dont' remember..." He scrunched his eyebrows together. The drugs often muddied his mind so much that he forgot who he was, and other times he couldn't remember what he had done.
Aurora: Aurora stood and made her way over to the side of his bed. She leaned over him to get a good look at the clip board that hung there. "Wow...they sure have you on some strong sedatives..."
Killian jones: "I've noticed." He hissed "I don't appreciate these tests at all...If I could only wring their necks..." His fiery annoyance was back from before.
Aurora: She chucked a bit. "Maybe if you didn't say things like that they'd lessen the dosage."
Killian jones: "I woudn't say things like that if they weren't trying to destroy my eyes." He sounded almost too human.
Killian jones: *MIND
Killian jones: (what the hell)
Aurora: "They're...not. They're- we're just trying to learn about you. Just going about it in the wrong ways."
Killian jones: He shook his head "I would be able to tell you more if I could think straight."
Aurora: "Well..." she bit the inside of her cheek. Maybe...
Killian jones: He shook his head, pressing his lips together in annoyance. "Maybe what...?"
Aurora: "Maybe, I might be able to convince them to lower the dosage with my report. -If- you cooperate of course."
Killian jones: He smiled slightly. He was the god of mischeif and misfortune, but perhaps he could co-operate. "I'll try my best, love."
Aurora: "You see, why don't I believe you?" she teased.
Killian jones: "There was a woman once who said I could be the most mischievous of all of the gods...which is partly how I got the name. That might have something to do with it." Up close, his eyes really were slitted like a cat. "Believe what you wish."
Aurora: She paused. "Okay, the eyes are just creepy."
Killian jones: He blinked and they shifted into normal human eyes, though they were still vibrant blue. "Better?"
Aurora: Her jaw dropped. "How the hell...? You know what, I'm not even going to ask."
Killian jones: "Glamour." He laughed "You must not be much of a historian. Glamour changes the minds around it so that it looks like something else." It was also much like what he looked like as a human.
Aurora: "I'm a historian which means I usually don't put much stalk into fairy tales."
Killian jones: "Then why exactly are you here?" he raised an eyebrow, his new human eyes glittering with curiosity.
Aurora: "To find out if I should," she answered.
Killian jones: "And what do you think?"
Aurora: "I think the world is definitely different than I thought."
Killian jones: He nodded and said "Well then Aurora R-. Aurora, you will find that you don't know what the world is about. BUt then again...curiosity killed the cat. I would know."
Aurora: "Sweetie, I'm not a cat."
Killian jones: His eyes hollowed again, a sure sign that the drugs were taking their tol. "Nor am I..."
Aurora: "I know," her voice was soft, "and I'll do what I can to make sure your dosage is lessened."
Killian jones: His eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed onto the bed.
Aurora: "Yep, definitely going to try," she muttered to herself as she left the room and went straight to one of the scientists who's job was to run tests on him.
Killian jones: The man looked at AUrora "Is there a problem, miss?"
Aurora: "Um, you could say that."
Killian jones: He turned to her, his foot tapping "I'm a very busy man. What do you need?"
Aurora: "I believe you are drugging Mr. Jones too much. Could you reduce his dosage a bit?"
Killian jones: "I assure you, it is completely nessesary. He is extremely violent in behavior..."
Aurora: "He just passed out in the middle of a conversation because of it which stops my work. I asked nicely, but now I'm telling you. You are hindering my research, lower the dosage."
Killian jones: "The dosage was lowered so that you could talk to him. I'm afraid I cant' lower it any more without a threat to the worker's personal well-being.
Aurora: She raised an eyebrow. "But -I'm- the 'worker' who would be in danger and -I'm- the one telling you to do it?"
Killian jones: "You're not the only one around here! The nurses...anyone who he feels like taking his imprisonment out on!"
Aurora: "And who's idea was it to imprison him?! I think this problem could have been avoided if you ask me," she huffed before storming away. So he wasn't human? Big deal. No one deserves to be tortured all the time.
Killian jones: Belle was waiting for her "What's wrong?"
Aurora: "It's just...it's horrible what they do to him!" the anger shone through.
Killian jones: "I thought you said that he was creepy and it was nessesary?"
Aurora: "He's creepy yes, but no one should be put through -that-. Horrible tests done regularly, and your mind stolen the rest of the time by drugs?"
Killian jones: She frowned "I never thought it was okay, you know...didn't he say that you could help him somehow? I mean-he's a god, he probably knows things."
Aurora: "I tried, but the stupid scientist won't lower the dosage!" she exclaimed.
Killian jones: "No I mean...he said that you could get him out somehow?"
Aurora: "I...yeah he said that but...I -couldn't-. I mean I'd go to jail and...that would just be a load of mess I don't need. I'll have to figure something else out."
Killian jones: "True enough." She sighed "Well I don't know...did you learn anything interesting?"
Aurora: "I did! He use to be human. Did you know that?"
Killian jones: "Well let's see...he's got a lot of different names in different cultures, but they're obviously all the same god. Loki, Theseus, um...I can't think of any of those stories that talk of him being human, though...no..."
Aurora: "Loki? Like the one who got raped by a horse?"
Killian jones: "Well um...I don't really know Norse mythology...I don't remember that story, and I'm not sure I want to, but yeah. That would be him. The one in the avengers and thor? Yeah."
Aurora: "Hm. Have to say, he was hotter in the movie," she laughed.
Killian jones: She shook her head, laughing "Well the whole cat part probably doesn't help. Of course, that would only be the egyptian form of the god...which means that he could look like a lot of different things if he wanted to. In his true form, i'm sure he's very attractive. Most myths subject him to eternal beauty.
Aurora: "Can you really blame them? I mean even with the part cat thing...I mean-" A blush was creeping over her cheeks.
Killian jones: She laughed "Well the part cat thing is a little bit strange, but the story is really quite interesting."
Aurora: "I know you're dying to tell me, Belle, so go ahead."
Killian jones: "Well, see he had a wife, the god of cats, Bastet... and when he cheated on her with a mortal, she cursed him to always be as ugly as his soul." She smiled "And that's the first egyptian story about him."
Aurora: "He must have a really hot sole then," she laughed.
Aurora: *soul
Killian jones: She laughed too "Well, the rest of the myths don't show him off in a really good light either. He's not the best of gods... Bastet certainly did her best to make him into something ugly."
Aurora: "So -that's- why he's all creepy-cat person-thing!"
Killian jones: "Yup." She nodded "He apparently was more human than any of the other gods until that point..."
Aurora: "He tried," she laughed.
Killian jones: Belle laughed. "Yup. Of course he doesn't have very many myths about him other than the whole long-lasting battle with the god of jewels and gold who killed the mortal who he cheated on bastet with...his love life is complicated."
Aurora: "Apparently," she sighed. "So there's nothing on how he became a mortal? Or why?"
Killian jones: "No...I can look more into it if you want, but i've never heard anything like it."
Aurora: "That would be nice, but you don't have to. He's just very interesting. I wonder if they'll let me talk to him again..."
Killian jones: "It's fine! Knowign that he's real really makes the mythology more interesting. I'll call you tomorrow and see what I can do!"
Aurora: "I'll see you then," she waved. She didn't tell Belle this, but she was going to go sneak in and see him again. See just how bad the drugs affected him when no one was talking to him.
Killian jones: "Ok bye! Call you tomorrow!"
Killian jones: Killian was sitting up, but his eyes were murky and blank and his face was much the same. He looked miserable...
Aurora: She nodded and started heading the other way. For a top secret government test lab...it was freakishly easy to just walk into. "Killi- Mr. Jones?" she asked.
Killian jones: He stared at the wall as if it were a particularly interesting ball of string but didn't notice her.
Aurora: "Can you...hear me?" she whispered hesitantly.
Killian jones: His ears twitched and he turned to her, his eyes boiling into hers.
Aurora: She looked back as if in a trance. His eyes were back to a cat's, but it didn't creep her out as it had before. She felt an odd sensation, as if she had fallen to the ground, but she was still standing. Then so was he. They were no longer in the lab room, but in the middle of the desert it appeared, although it wasn't extremely hot and uncomfortable at all. More peaceful, and she greatly liked it.
Killian jones: In dream state, he could talk to her without being completely drugged, which was extremely useful. ANd of course, he could look like whatever he watned to, so the whole cat thing was gone as well. It felt good to be clear. "Hello, Aurora."
Aurora: "Hello, Killi-Mr. Jones," she corrected. "Where are we? What happened?"
Killian jones: "Well, I couldn't exactly talk, so... I took you to a spirit dream. Quite simple, really. Talking without being taken over by drugs is something I haven't been able to do recently. Forgive me for my brashness in the matter."
Aurora: "No, that's...that's amazing. I can't believe this is possible...Very Inception."
Killian jones: He pointed at her with a smile "I'm going to pretend I know what that is...now...love...you did have questions, did you not."
Aurora: "Yes. What are they doing to you. The way you looked..." Aurora shivered at the memory of him looking so...pained and...helpless.
Killian jones: He shrugged "Humans like to destroy what they cannot understand."
Aurora: "Were you like that when you were...? How did you even become god-like if you were...?"
Killian jones: "Times were different when I was a mortal." He apparently ignored her second question "But I suppose I probably would have done the same.''
Aurora: "What was it like? -When- were you even born?" she continued with the questioning. That's the scientific mind for you.
Killian jones: "I'm a young god... but it must have been about... 300 years ago, give or take?"
Killian jones: (3000)
Aurora: Her jaw dropped. "That's...that's young?" she laughed. "I must seem like an infant or something."
Killian jones: (2000...whatever...)
Killian jones: "No, you're just a completely different species."
Aurora: "So why are you here?" She had a theory, but she wanted him to tell her.
Killian jones: "Because I gave up immortality, which was probably not the smartest idea in the world."
Aurora: "You still have all your, powers I guess?, but you'll die?"
Killian jones: "It's a bit more complicated than that..." He looked up at a cloud "See, the gifts that gods are given are from the soul, not the body. Therefore, when I became mortal, I still have the same soul. However, if I were to die, the world would be far too lucky...and if everyone is lucky, no one is. So, I would probably either be reincarnated or become immortal again.'
Aurora: "That's good then, I guess," she smiled.
Killian jones: "It could be, but mortals were never supposed to...be so certain of our existance. Since you are... well I don't imagine my mortal life will be pleasant."
Aurora: "How did they find out about you? The fact that they could even catch you is mindboggling."
Killian jones: "Not really. Once a scientist finds out something, they are rather persistent. That, and being mortal has it's limits. I could, of course, kill everyone in the place, but...that would be a bit too much death and would not go unnoticed by more important gods..."
Aurora: "And that's why you need someone's help to get you out," she realized.
Killian jones: "Right." He said, narrowing his eyes "Humans are so very strange...I'm not sure what they're doing, but I dont' like exuberant highs or painful torture... and I certainly don't like nonchalance."
Aurora: "I don't know. Sometimes I think not caring would be nice. It's better than hurting."
Killian jones: He scowled "It's not what you might think."
Aurora: She paused to think for a moment. "No. I guess it's not."
Killian jones: "Either way, unless you have more questions, we should probably get back. No one will be happy if they find you passed out on the floor."
Aurora: "Ah, so that's why it felt like I was falling earlier," she nodded. "I still can't believe they'd do this to you...Well, I can, but it's still not right."
Killian jones: "I would be surprised if they didn't." He sounded surprisingly mellow, but he still had effects from the drugs. It was just easier to talk like this. "I'll have to manage. I've been through worse."
Aurora: She bit her lip. Maybe...He certainly didn't deserve it, but could she really help him get out? It couldn't end well for her, but could she really be that selfish? It was obvious how much he was hurting and the fact that she worked for the place that was doing this to him disgusted her even if she could understand their motives. Maybe...
Killian jones: "I think, should you chose to go on that path, you might find yourself very lucky."
Aurora: Her eyes widened. "You can read my mind?!"
Killian jones: "Do you find it disconcerting? Many mortals do."
Aurora: "So you know that I've been wondering if the raped by a horse thing is true for this entire conversation?!" She ignored his question.
Killian jones: "I have heard that thought several times." He shook his head "Of all of the stories, -that- one is remembered?"
Aurora: She laughed. "You have to admit, it stands out a bit."
Killian jones: "I suppose, but I am going to murder the nymph that made it up. Do I look like I could get pregnant to you?"
Aurora: "Hey, you can have cat eyes or these really pretty blue ones, I don't know -what's- possible anymore."
Killian jones: "True enough." He looked annoyed for a second "But those cat eyes, are a curse, they're not mine."
Aurora: "Bastet? Correct? Either way the're cool though," she shrugged.
Killian jones: "Most people find them a little bit odd." He still looked annoyed, though not as much. He was definitely far more human than you might expect a god to be. Belle was right when she'd said that. "personally, I don't know what the hell she was thinking."
Aurora: "Odd yes," she nodded. "But cat eyes or not you don't deserve this." Aurora took a deep breath, if she said it, she'd have to go through with it. "I'm going to get you out of here."
Killian jones: "I'm sure you will." that creepy, animalistic smile crept on his face again.
Aurora: "And what makes you so sure of that?" she raised an eyebrow.
Killian jones: "I tend to be very good at guessing. Lucky, you might say." The smile held and he crossed his arms.
Aurora: "Can't be that lucky, you got tied up here in the first place," she countered.
Killian jones: "Ah, but misfortune comes to all, even the luckiest."
Aurora: Her mind said, 'Aka: you failed' but she actually said, "It happens," with a shrug.
Killian jones: "really, love?" He raised an eyebrow "I can't bother with the life of gods, including myself. I can make other peopel around me lucky, but I myself cannot be changed."
Aurora: She laughed. "Right. I'm going to have to get use to the whole mind reading thing." Must think clean thoughts. Must think clean thoughts...
Killian jones: "Oh, I'm not saying that you have to think clean, love...quite the contrary..."
Aurora: She couldn't help but facepalm. And blush bright red. "This will not end well. I can already tell."
Killian jones: He laughed "Now, then, we should probably get otu of here..." he frowned but when she woke up, there were doctors all around her and a doctor with a needle at Killian's throat. He didn't seem to be struggling, however.
Aurora: She opened her eyes groggily. "That-what? Where? What's going on?" she muttered though she wasn't sleepy or confused at all. Best to put on a show.
Killian jones: The nurse's eyes widened "Are you okay? I'm sorry...he did something to you..."
Aurora: "He did? What did he...?" she asked as she sat up slowly. All a show. She was fine.
Killian jones: "We don't know...but you passed out at the same time as him." The man sunk the needle into killian's throat and he sunk into the bed.
Aurora: "Weird. I don't remember anything. Just that I had left my clip board in here so I was coming to get it then...nothing. What's that you're giving him?"
Killian jones: "It's a new serum. It should send off endorphins in his brain. If it works, we want to monitor the luck of certain places across the world.''
Aurora: "Ah. Intriguing. Would you guys mind if I observed for a bit? From afar in your lab of course."
Killian jones: She nodded "I don't see any harm in that."
Aurora: "Thank you," Aurora smiled and followed the rest of the scientists out of the room. She took a quick look back, winked, and thought 'if this is going to work I better be lucky enough to find sleeping gas'.
Killian jones: When they got to the observation room, he looked like he was struggling with the drugs. Sweat beaded his forehead and his eyes were slammed shut.
Aurora: Aurora looked around the room carefully. Hopefully he had enough power to help her help him. The insane plan that was brewing in her mind would only work with his help. There. On the back table someone had left what looked like a chemistry experiment. Aurora approached it slowly, as if with mild curiosity. No one payed any attention to her, they were all watching him and the monsters at the front of the room. Aurora glanced at some of the chemical's names until she found the right ones. She put her collar up over her nose before pouring the contents of one vial into the other. She then approached the group and set the gas on the ground. She stayed just long enough to see the last one's eyes shut, then took off down the hall towards Killian's room, still not 100% sure WHY or WHAT she was doing
Aurora: .
Killian jones: He was still passé out, but he looked like he wa in pain.
Aurora: Aurora carefully took the needle's from his arms and took the breathing mask from his face. She then proceeded to (thank goodness the bed was on wheels) roll it out to the parking lot. He must have done a lot to help her because they didn't run into anyone. It took a while, but she eventually maneuvered him into the passenger seat of her car and took off.
Killian jones: whenthey got back to the apartment that belle shared with her, she was a hit confused "who is that...?"
Aurora: "Killian," Aurora answered awkwardly.
Aurora: *hesitantly
Killian jones: "The god!?" Her eyes widene but she helped reel him into the house. "Um... Well I did figure out what you wante to know."
Aurora: "Good. We probably have a few minutes before he wakes up. I-I'm so sorry, Belle. I just couldn't leave him there to be tortured..."
Killian jones: "I would have done the same." She nodded "well it turns out that te mortal he fell in love with wasnt exactly mortal. She was a nymph. So see, he decided, after bast left him, that he would give up his immortality to be with her... But she died only months later."
Aurora: "That...explains a lot," she sighed. Aurora glanced at Killian's sleeping form on the couch. It really did explain a lot.
Killian jones: after a few minutes, he woke up, blinking rapidly. He stared at them both, strangely feline again, unlike the dream, and narrowed his eyes.
Aurora: "Killian? Mr. Jones?" she asked tentatively.
Killian jones: "I believe I've told you that is not my name..."
Aurora: "Either accept it, give me a name, or I'll start calling you Captain Hook," she rolled her eyes.
Killian jones: "Captain Hook?" he stared at her, confused "Call me what you want...I suppose."
Aurora: She laughed, but then got serious. "I got you out of there, now we need to figure something out because I can't go back there."
Killian jones: "Then do not make your aquaintance there..." he said, tilting is head sideways. His wide blue eyes looked confused and innocent.
Aurora: "Killian, that's my job. Heck, that's my way back home. Now I'm stuck in a foreign country with a freaking cat-man. Fantastic. You know, I really didn't think this through." Panic was starting to sink in. Not good. Not good. Not good.
Killian jones: He looked offended at the cat-man comment. "You have many paths that you have yet to go through...you are still alive, I don't understand your problem..."
Aurora: She facepalmed. "When are the drugs going to wear off. This is getting annoying."
Killian jones: He hadn't realized that the drugs were still going on. In fact, he was pretty sure that the high had worn off. "I don't believe that the drugs are still in commence.."
Aurora: "Then why can't you speak plainly? And think logically for that matter?" Not that she was thinking to clearly right now through her panic. Honestly, she was probably just taking out her frustration and worry on him.
Killian jones: He was a god. He shouldn't be expected to talk like a human. Of course, after the curse, he always thought in more riddles and his emotions dimmed significantly. He was more catlike in more ways than one. "We have never met truly...you wouldn't know how I speak."
Aurora: "Speak straight or I'm taking you right back to the lab," she huffed.
Killian jones: He didn't know if he could... but he could try to straighten out his words... "I'm not sure I can. I'll try my best..."
Aurora: She took a deep breath to try and calm herself. "Thank you. Now we have to figure out what the heck is going to happen next. Any brilliant ideas?"
Killian jones: Without Milah, he really was lost in this world. He wondered how to say what he needed to do plainly. "First I believe I need to shave... and... then I'm sure I can fare on my own. I wouldn't ask you to do anything. I can help myself, but I do thank you for what you've done."
Aurora: She gave him a you've-got-to-be-kidding look. "Like I'm letting the god of mischief loose on the world without any supervision. Yeah. Right."
Killian jones: He smirked, his humanity more present "That would probably be unwise."
Aurora: "Good. We're in agreeance. That means, unforchantly, we're going to be stuck with each other for a while," she sighed and sat down on the couch next to him, suddenly extremely tired. The day had taken a lot out of her. "Now what?"
Killian jones: "This world is new to me, still. I don't know what you want me to say."
Aurora: "You know what? Eff it. All the time I've been here I haven't actually gotten to -see- Egypt. Tomorrow we're going exploring. Tonight I'm going to bed. 'Night."
Killian jones: He stared at her as she left, and eventually nodded. He wasn't kidding when he said he needed to shave. Full-on beard was not a good look for him.
Aurora: The next morning Aurora got up at her usual time (waaaay too early) and started her usual morning routine. She had honestly forgotten about the events of yesterday in her mindset of routine. So when she stepped out of the bathroom still wet with only a towel around her...yeah, she screamed.
Killian jones: He had shaved and looked far more handsome than the day before. He hadn't shaved it all off, but instead left some scruff behind. He'd put on some normal clothes (who knows where he got those) though he looked reluctant to leave his leather behind, and any catlike appearance was gone by glamour.
Killian jones: He looked at her, raising an eyebrow "That is an interesting choice of clothing."
Aurora: Aurora breathed deeply when the memories started returning. Oh. Yeah. How could she forget. "Oh, Killian. Hi," she said awkwardly. Why had she forgotten her clothes in the bedroom?
Aurora: She was tempted to throw something at him. Unforchantly the only thing in reach was her towel and that was -not- happening. "I forgot my clothes in the bedroom, so shush"
Killian jones: He shrugged "I don't mind your present rags...they are very egyptian. More so than any of your clothing.."
Aurora: "Yes, I'm sure -that's- why you don't mind," she rolled her eyes and quickly trotted back to her room.
Killian jones: He didn't understand what he had done "Yes it is..." he muttered.
Aurora: Once she was in normal clothing, she headed back into the living room. "Ready to see Egypt?" she asked perkily as she slipped on her favorite sunglasses.
Killian jones: "As ready as I can be" he said emotionlessly. He'd thought that the loss of emotion had been from the drugs, but...well, if he thought back, it had originated from the curse. Maybe he shouldn't have cheated on bastet...
Aurora: "Good. Now remember," Aurora teased as the headed out the door, "the sand is -not- a litter box and if you try to use it as one you will wake up very confused in the Arctic."
Killian jones: "I do not believe that using the sand as a litter box will cause me to transport to the arctic..." He scrunched his eyebrows together. "I do not understand."
Aurora: "You are so clueless," she laughed.
Killian jones: He was still confused, but followed after her "I am unused to these customs.."
Aurora: "Don't worry, I'll just introduce you to internet porn and I'm sure it'll start feeling like home." When someone can read your mind anyway, why not just say it?
Killian jones: He stared at her and searched her mind. He didn't understand the appeal, which was the most out of character thing he'd ever thought. He wasn't himself for sure. "Is that not what prostitues are for?" He meant it genuinely.
Aurora: She burst out laughing. "Well considering that's illegal...At least in my home country it is."
Killian jones: He stared at her "If it weren't, things like internet porn would not be so common."
Aurora: She rolled her eyes, but still had a grin. "We are -not- having this conversation. And for the record, I do -not- look at porn."
Killian jones: "If you wanted a real tour of Egyptian ancestry, Bastet does live somewhere around here."
Aurora: "You're telling me that the cat god of Egypt just happens to live here? I thought you were the only one here?"
Killian jones: "No. I said I was the only mortal here." He looked around "many Egyptian gods live here, but most are not so friendly."
Aurora: "So why not go meet one?" she laughed.
Killian jones: "Bastet is the most friendly with mortals." He said " Other than Anubis, perhaps, but as he resides in the Duat, he would be hard to reach."
Aurora: She grinned. "Let's go then."
Killian jones: He nodded and grabbed her hand. "Let's." They appeared in a large cave "Bast?" he called.
Aurora: Aurora looked around in confusion. "Woah. Did we just apparate?"
Killian jones: He didn't know what apparating was, but he didn't really care. He stared at the wall "She might still hold a grudge on me."
Aurora: "Might?" Bastet stalked out from the shadows. "Hello, sweetie."
Killian jones: He nodded to her "Hello." Usually he would try to flirt or something of the sort. He did still have feelings for her...before all of this.
Aurora: "Enjoying your time on Earth? Or did you come to beg for forgiveness. If so I'd just start with that before you tick me off."
Killian jones: "I believe you were the one who cursed me." He said, his eyes wandering, distracted. "Earth is not what I expected." Not without Milah, anyway. Nothing was right without her, really.
Aurora: "So why are you here then? I am rather busy, so hurry it up would you?"
Killian jones: "The goddess of cats...what could you have possibly been doing." She was usually quite fond of mortals. If Aurora had wanted to meet one, she was usually the best to come to, but... well, in this case, maybe it wasn't the smartest idea either.
Aurora: "You're right. I have no need to hurry. -I- live forever. You on the other hand...well, tick tock."
Killian jones: He scrunched his eyebrows together. SHe had been so kind before... he didn't know what happened, but couldn't find it in himself to care. "As much as I dislike your curse, the ears are rather amusing."
Aurora: "Just tell me why you're here," Bastet sighed. She didn't like being so snippy, but she still hadn't forgiven him. At least that's what she told herself.
Killian jones: "I can't remember..." he looked at Aurora, wondering why he was so easily distractable lately. "I...should remember..." He turned to her "I'm starting to believe that your kind has done more to my mind than I'd thought..."
Killian jones: i
Killian jones: Then he looked at the beautiful Bastet and frowned "Or perhaps you did..."
Aurora: "Probably my kind," Aurora's tone was bitter. "There's a reason I got you out of there you know."
Killian jones: "I'm not very fond of mortals." Agreed Killian. "They seem a little too fond of me."
Aurora: "Not all of us," Aurora teased.
Aurora: Bastet watched with amusement.
Killian jones: He didnt' seem nearly as amused as Aurora did. "I don't like torture." He really didn't think that he could trust anyone...not even Bast, really. Bast would do nothing but kill him... he knew that she could read this thoughts, but his brain was so scattered that he didn't really care. "Not all of you, I suppose, wish to do so...''
Aurora: Bastet could read his thoughts. Could see his torture. And she hated it. While she was still extremely ticked off at him, there was a (very small mind you) part of her that still loved him. "Aurora Rose, I need to speak with you. Alone," she gave him a side look.
Killian jones: Killian nodded, though he didn't feel comfortable with leaving her alone with a dangerous god... Bast looked at her "My curse has broken him... (not that she cared) Though I cast the curse on him, he doesn't need to be the one to face this..." Of course, torture had destroyed his faith in humanity distroyed as well.
Aurora: Aurora raised an eyebrow. "What are you implying?"
Killian jones: "That you could save him...this is not him...it's an empty shell of who he used to be."
Aurora: "Why me? I'm just...I'm nobody. Nobody important anyway."
Killian jones: "Which is why it has to be you... I can't force the curse onto someone unsuspecting, but it won't destroy you like it destroyed him...you would become mai..."
Aurora: 'Like Chloe King?' she thought. "Then I will take the curse in his place," she nodded.
Killian jones: She nodded "Good. No matter how horrible a man he is, he doesn't deserve this..." She hadn't known that this would happen...
Aurora: The tremors started in her hands, then spread throughout her. When they stopped she felt twitchy, and full of energy. Like she just wanted to run and climb and attack something. The cave's smell was now so much more alive and the darkness wasn't so dark. It was like everything had been heightened and she loved the feeling. "Wow," was all she could say.
Killian jones: "I hope he appreciates this." She frowned "A mai has not been made in many years...''
Aurora: "Thank you for...wow this is...cats are awesome!"
Killian jones: Bastet nodded "So they are...now we should find Killiian. Perhaps he will not be quite as broken..."
Aurora: "Hopefully. Hey, could I climb up a pyramid? I think that would be fun! I mean claws digging into the sides and- oh but people would see and that wouldn't be good, but it would still be fun. What about the Sphinx! I want to see the Sphinx!" Aurora rattled on in her rush of energy.
Killian jones: Bastet's eyes narrowed "You must calm yourself. There are things that you cannot do. MMany, many things.'' Killian was sitting on floor, his expression completely different. It had been so void of emotion, but now anger began to fill it "Ah...you..." He glared at her.
Aurora: Aurora ran right over to him. "How are you? Do you feel better? I know I feel -great!-" she practically squealed.
Killian jones: "Yeah, I'm fine." If looks could kill... Perhaps he shouldn't have cheated on her, but he had loved Milah, he'd -loved- her. And she had destroyed everything that he'd had. "You...What did you do to me?"
Aurora: "Me?" Aurora's eyes were wide. "I didn't do anything."
Killian jones: He rolled his eyes. "Did you curse me? I don't think so."
Aurora: "No, but she did remove your curse. You should be kinder," Bastet chided.
Killian jones: He clenched his jaw "Thank you, Aurora." He then turned to Bast "But I'm talking to you."
Aurora: "I was mad. I took it out on the person who caused it. Not unlike you, if I recall correctly."
Killian jones: "I'm sorry about what I did to you, I didn't mean to hurt you, but this...was unnecessary."
Aurora: "Be grateful I removed your punishment after this long. I could refresh it if you keep complaining," she glared.
Killian jones: "I'd like to see you try." He growled. Trusting anyone was definitely a mistake, he decided quickly.
Aurora: "Sweetie," Bastet got right in his face, "leave."
Killian jones: He did still love her...somehow. And her telling him to leave was painful in the least, but it was better than feeling nothing, and some wounds never heal. This was one of them. "Good luck, Bastet."
Aurora: "I'm not the one who's going to need luck. Goodbye."
Killian jones: He immediately turned to Aurora, knowing what the same curse had done to him "Are you okay, love?"
Aurora: "Okay? I'm so much better than okay! I'm absolutely fantastic!" she laughed, still bouncing with energy.
Killian jones: He stared at her, immediately horribly annoyed. "Let's get back home."
Aurora: "But I wanted to see the pyramids," she pouted.
Killian jones: "ok, ok fine..." He quickly calmed himself "Let's go..."
Killian jones: He grabbed her hand again "Go for a run, then?"
Aurora: "Sounds great!" she gushed and took off. She ran faster than she ever had before. She felt like she almost wanted to go down on all fours.
Killian jones: Killian rushed behind her, rolling his eyes. God new Mai could be annoying at times... but he felt better than he had in months, so... he went with it.
Aurora: Aurora laughed and yelled with excitement. This. Was. AMAZING! The sand beneath her feet went by so fast it blurred. Unforchantly, she was soon out of breath. The rest of her felt fine, not tired at all. But she had to stop or it felt like her lungs would explode.
Killian jones: Killian, on the other hand, didn't seem out of breath at all. "Can we go back now?"
Aurora: Aurora looked out over the landscape. Sure to some it would just seem like a lot of sand, but to her it looked beautiful. But one thing was missing. "I said I wanted to see pyramids." Now that she had gotten the energy out she was calming down and actually thinking clearly.
Killian jones: He nodded "And you did, so can we go back now?" The god of misfortune tended to be rather ill-tempered at times, which was never a good sign for lotteries.
Aurora: "Hey...you could use a glamour to make sure we went unseen, right?"
Killian jones: "I could, but why would I want to do that?"
Aurora: "Because I wonder what the sun set would look like from the top of the Spinx and we don't really want to be found," she grinned before taking off again. Climbing was even better than running. She felt totally free and completely powerful. It was amazing.
Killian jones: They sat on the top of the sphynx as the sun went down, and Killian was happy to feel happiness. He hadn't felt that in a while.
Aurora: "This didn't turn out how I expected at all," she grinned and looked up at him.
Killian jones: "Me either..." He was far more handsome without the cat eyes, he knew... He put his mouth right next to her ear "I think I like how this turned out..."
Aurora: Her sigh of content came out more of a purr. "And why's that?"
Killian jones: "There are a lot more things that I can feel now..."
Aurora: "Sounds...entertaining."
Killian jones: "Oh it could be..." He dragged his finger over her collarbones lightly. "Very entertaining."
Aurora: She shivered. Something about the way the sunset hit him, and the way his touch felt made him seem just so appealing to her. Her eyes seemed to already be half lidded as she leaned closer. "Really now?" her voice was husky even though she'd never been seductive in her life and really wasn't sure how she know how to be.
Killian jones: "Of course..." he brought his lips close to hers "I've got years of experience...you'll have to work."
Aurora: She pulled back. No matter how lost in the moment she was or how much she was wanting to rip his clothes off, that was not okay. "What do you mean I'll 'have to work'?"
Killian jones: "To keep up obviously." He smirked, but after a second, it grew into on of annoyance "Damnit...full moon..."
Aurora: "Oh," she laughed, "I misunderstood. And yes, it is. Very beautiful. But what about it?"
Aurora: She wasn't really sure why that was important -now-. She pressed her lips to his neck, just under his ear.
Killian jones: "It means... Because you're Mai, anything you're thinking right now isn't real. And I'm too much of a gentleman to do this now."
Aurora: "It's definitely a hundred percent real," she purred. She ran her hand under his shirt and across his stomach as she continued to kiss his neck.
Killian jones: "You're making this way harder than it shoul be..." He sighed and pulled her away "Mai hormones. Every full moon this will happen..."
Aurora: "What? I'll get turned down by sexy ex-gods -every- full moon?"
Killian jones: "No. You'll... Oh screw this, we'll get you home." He began dragging her.
Aurora: She yanked her hand back. "You could have just asked me to walk," she snapped.
Killian jones: "Walk, then!" He snapped
Aurora: She gave a groan of frustration. "What the hell has -your- panties in a twist?"
Killian jones: he shook his head "sorry,love. Just come on-please."
Aurora: "Coming," she sighed, but did follow. Honestly, she was starting to feel embarrassed. She was NOT the kind of girl to just be with someone she hardly knows. What the heck had come over her?
Killian jones: when they got back to the house, he smiled "going out for a drink. Don't do anything too stupid."
Aurora: "Me?" she raised her eyebrows, "-You- are telling -me- not to do anything stupid?"
Killian jones: "don't do anything I would do." He said
Aurora: She laughed. "But you don't know this world, how are you planing on finding a bar? And what if you get caught?"
Killian jones: "I'm very good at finding things like that..." He smiled "and anyway, they won't be looking for a patient in a bar."
Aurora: "Killian, -you're- the patient."
Killian jones: "I noticed." He rolled his eyes "I'll be fine."
Aurora: "You better be, or who know's what I'll do next full moon," she sighed dramatically, then laughed.
Killian jones: "Goodbye." He waved and walked out of the door. Once he did, belle crept out of the hallway.
Aurora: "See ya," Aurora called after him. "Oh, hi Belle. What's up?"
Killian jones: "He's just a little... More domestic than last time I saw him... The go of mischief? How drunk will he get!?"
Aurora: Aurora opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again. "Well this can't end well...IS THAT A STRING?!"
Killian jones: She's rated at her and said "yeah...?"
Killian jones: *stared
Aurora: Aurora ran up, grabbed the ball of string and started hitting it back and forth between her hands. She laughed out loud like it was the most fun she had had in years.
Killian jones: Belle walked towards her "so he's now getting drink and you're acting like a cat?"
Aurora: She bit her lip, unsure if she should tell Belle or not. "Well..."
Killian jones: "We'll what?"
Aurora: "Well Killian was cursed by Bastet, who totally looks like River Song from Doctor Who by the way, to be all cat like. Bastet gave me the choice to take the curse instead because it wouldn't effect me in the negative way like it did him and so I said yes and now I'm a Mai," she rattled all in one breath.
Killian jones: "Let me get this straight... River song I a god?"
Aurora: "No, she just looks like one."
Killian jones: "Okay...well I don't really know how to respond to that..."
Aurora: "Then on something I think you can respond to...I almost slept with him."
Killian jones: "What!?"
Aurora: "I don't know. He said it was something about the full moon and Mai hormones or something. It was like one minute we were just talking and the next I-I really wanted to...and kind of...yeah..." Her cheeks were bright red and she knew it. Awkward...
Killian jones: "We'll... Um... Still feeling the urge?"
Aurora: "No, not right now. But he isn't really here..."
Killian jones: "That's good I guess... Well it's late, we should go to bed."
Aurora: "For some reason that's exactly what I wanted," she laughed, then stopped when she realized it wasn't as funny as it was in her head.
Killian jones: She sighed "yeah..."
Killian jones: In the morning, killian was home, but he seems greaty hungover and the girl at his side seems the same
Aurora: Aurora headed into the living room (luckily this time fully clothed) only to be confused. "Killian? Who is...?" she indicated the girl.
Killian jones: "Heidi?" He said. She sighed "hayley..." She looked at him fondly. She was very pretty with brown hair and tiny frecklesz
Aurora: Aurora smiled kindly at the girl. "Lovely to meet you. Now, get the hell out."
Killian jones: Loki sighed, drinking from his flask "gosh... Don't get rid of my company so soon..."
Aurora: "It's my apartment and I didn't say you could have anybody over. So she has to go," she glared. How could he think it was a good idea to have some strainge woman over when she just became a Mai and he was the freaking god of mischief. And the bit of jealousy that she did -not- acknowledge or feel. At all.
Killian jones: he looked at hayley and sighed "see you later, love..."
Aurora: Hayley rolled her eyes with a sigh. "I'm use to it by now." With a final sarcastic wave to Aurora, she took off out the door.
Killian jones: He sighed and finished of his flash. "Buzz kill..."
Aurora: She rounded on him. "What exactly was that?!"
Killian jones: "well, she was a beautiful woman."
Aurora: "And your point? I will not have random women in and out of my apartment! Besides how disrespectful that is to me, do you -honestly- think it's a good idea? With all we have to hide?"
Killian jones: He aheugges "I thought it was a brilliant idea."
Aurora: She gave a disgusted look. "And which part of you made that decision?"
Killian jones: He smirked "it doesn't actually matter, lass. You seem downcast today."
Aurora: "More like I'm trying not to sink my claws into your eyes." It was true. For some reason this ticked her off way more than it would. Like she was on the edge of blacking out, only to awake to find his bloody body. Yep. That was definitely unusual.
Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow "calm down! You need a drink or two..." Someone knocked on the door.
Aurora: "I need you to stop behaving like an imbecile!" she snapped as she went to open the door.
Killian jones: a man who looked a bit like killian, but shorter, with blonde hair and thick muscles answered "I must talk to my brother."
Aurora: She turned back to the couch. "Killian, I swear if one more person turns up at my apartment I'm sending you out the bloody window!" Turning back to the man she asked, "Who, exactly, are you?"
Killian jones: "That would e my brother.." He seemed suddenly sober. "Zeus, Thor..."
Aurora: She looked between the two a few times. Finally, in an exasperated tone she sighed,"He was hotter in the Avengers."
Killian jones: He sighed "it doesn't matter. Why do you want."
Aurora: "You know, I always find it amusing what the mortals refer to us as," his brother smiled as he stepped into the room.
Killian jones: Killian looked wary. He was still hung over, but he didn't show it much. "What do you want, brother...?"
Aurora: "Is it so wrong to miss my own brother after all this time?"
Killian jones: "Yes. It is. Somehow, if you let me be toetured and let Milah die, I really don't think you cared enough to look..."
Aurora: "And it was wrong of me. I would like to make amends for it, if you'll let me."
Killian jones: He crossed his arms and sent a wary look towards Autora "I've learned much about the mortals. They are so muh more important than you give them credit for. They love and they lose, and I am glad to be here. I am glad to lean and mortals do not have visitations from gods, so I suggest you tell me what you need so that I can never see you ever again."
Aurora: His brother sighed and thought for a moment before speaking. "I wish exactly the opposite. I wish for you to return to the Council of Immortals. As you have said, the reason you left is gone and you have learned a great deal. Now come back and share that with the rest of us."
Killian jones: He stared at him "or what?"
Aurora: "Ah, you always know I have a catch. I honestly hoped I wouldn't have to bring it up."
Killian jones: "I told you: or what."
Aurora: "Or Bastet will no longer protect Aurora. You know what happens to Mai without her protection. Their body rejects it and they die slowly and painfully. Do you really wan't that?"
Killian jones: He frowned "don't brig her into this... This is a family matter."
Aurora: "I had no other way to persuade you."
Killian jones: He was speachless "there is no way I can refuse..."
Aurora: "Then don't. It's quite simple really."
Killian jones: "...I..." He really really hated Zeus. "Fine." He frowned at Aurora.
Aurora: Aurora was looking at him in surprise. "Why?" she asked after a moment. Why was -she- so important that he would give in if he didn't want to?
Killian jones: "I've watched bastets Mai die before. It's not pretty, as you have helped me. I won't let it happen."
Aurora: She was...impressed. He really hadn't seemed like the self-sacrifice type. She turned to Zeus. "I would like to make a request. Since I'm new to all of this...Mai stuff, it would be a great help if you'd allow Killian to remain here for a bit longer before going to join you. I mean you wouldn't want a clueless Mai running around, would you?"
Killian jones: Zeus shook his head "I'll have Bastet help you. He knows nothing about these things. Of course if you need his advice, you can always call him."
Aurora: She bit her lip. She really had been trying to help him, and she didn't want to admit it to herself, but she didn't want to see him leave. "Please?"
Killian jones: He sighed "I will give you one day."
Aurora: 'It's something' she thought. "Thank you." But the anger was coming back. That blinding rage that made her want to claw at something until it was ripped to shreds. The words were suddenly pouring from her before she could stop them. "You know what? No. You do not come into MY house and threaten MY guest until he gives in, then tell ME what I can and can't have. You are going to apologize and give him as much time down here as he wants before he joins you!"
Killian jones: Killian put his hand on her shoulder, hoping Zeus wouldn't blast her to bits.
Aurora: Well...she had already made the mistake. Might as well stay with it. "And once you have apologized I expect you to leave immediately. You are not welcome here until you learn to behave properly."
Killian jones: Zeus, however just laughed "mortals are quite amusing. Now, brother, at midnight, you shall be reined to your former glory." And with that, he disappeared.
Aurora: "I don't like him," Aurora huffed.
Killian jones: "Yeah. That was brave, you know."
Aurora: "I don't see how. I wasn't afraid at all. It was like...like I couldn't hold back anything in my anger." She looked up at him.
Killian jones: "Mai hormones.." Being so close to her was killing him... He wante badly just to... Kiss her.
Aurora: "When it was you," she asked slowly, "did you ever just...lose control?" She was hyper aware of how close they were, but she didn't want to move an inch.
Killian jones: "All the time..." He said, leaning closer "but I would just lose myself... Not in anger."
Aurora: "In what then?" she breathed. Aurora leaned closer herself, her eyes just beginning to flutter closed.
Killian jones: "Animal... And it's happening again..." He kissed her.
Aurora: She kissed him back with all she was worth. "I think I like that emotion."
Killian jones: "I don't mind it..." He looked at her sadly "if only it could continue."
Aurora: "Why not? Screw what Zeus wants! If you want to stay you should."
Killian jones: "It's not my choice. He would kill you, and them he would forc me to join him without asking. He is right about one thing, however. You can always call me from the cave you called bast."
Killian jones: "It's not my choice. He would kill you, and them he would forc me to join him without asking. He is right about one thing, however. You can always call me from the cave you called bast."
Aurora: "I wish you could stay," she sighed.
Killian jones: "It's not goodbye" he frowned "I promise..." His eyes rolled back into his was and w collapsed.
Aurora: She paused. Her eyes wide. "So what the hell -was- that?"
Killian jones: The body immediately dissappearwd
Aurora: Aurora was looking around the apartment, but otherwise hadn't moved. "Seriously. I have no idea. What the hell?"
Killian jones: belle's eyes widened "well... Um... One day. It's midnight."
Aurora: "That was like three minutes!" Aurora exclaimed. Did that jackass make time move faster or something? Was it possible to kill Zeus? She sure was tempted to find out.
Killian jones: "He is horrible..." Agreed belle
Aurora: "To the cave then!"
Killian jones: "to the cave!
Aurora: The girls hopped in the car and started to drive. "It's a good thing I remember where this is..."
Killian jones: "if you didn't, hat wood r unfortunate." She giggled.
Aurora: "Very much so," she nodded. They pulled up and hopped out of the car. Aurora all but ran into the cave.
Killian jones: the cave was awesome and brown
Aurora: "Killian? KILLIAN?" she called into the cave.
Killian jones: he appeared, cigar in his mouth, sitting on a wooden chair. "Need something, love?"
Aurora: "What the hell just happened? You just-just passed out and then evaporated like Voldemort!"
Killian jones: he shrugged "Zeus is kinda impatient."
Aurora: "Yeah, he's also kind of a jerk," she sneered.
Killian jones: "he's also right.
Aurora: "What? I thought you didn't want to go back?"
Killian jones: "I didn't. But as a mortal, I wa different. I thought mortals mattered..."
Aurora: "Excuse me?" she snapped.
Killian jones: "It was an interesting idea, but really you're no more important than a fly."
Aurora: "Are you -hoping- to get slapped or did you just take moron pills today?"
Killian jones: "you're a mortal, you wouldn't understand."
Aurora: "I can understand a lot, thank you. Now just explain it."
Killian jones: He stared at he as if her tiny mortal couldnt figure it out. "I don have all day, you know. I do have misfortune an
