Aurora: 18. One word: Bodyswitching / 35. Killian wakes up one day in the body of a pretty little girl with brown hair and blue eyes... and Aurora wakes up as a friggen sexy pirate. Killiian has to pretend to be a princess and Aurora a pirate. What the hell.
Killian jones: A shrill noise of a woman screaming for him to wake up woke Killian from his sleep. Not that it was all that uncommon, but he did wish he had a few more minutes. He closed his eyes as tight as he could and sat up. The woman was a bit old for his taste, though, and his surroundings were completely strange. In fact... everything about this situation was weird. "Where am I?" He asked, his voice coming out an octave too high. What the hell...
Aurora: Flora rolled her eyes. "Goodness, Aurora, how heavy of sleeper are you? You're in your bedroom of course!"
Killian jones: Aurora? He stared at her, crossing his arms around his-oh dear god. He would have to check this out later. Of course, he'd been in situations before, he just needed to figure out what was happening... "Of course. Of course..."
Aurora: "Now up, up, up! YOu know today is a big, big, big, day!" Flora grinned.
Killian jones: "Fu***** brilliant." He cursed, then realized that he was somehow a woman. Women weren't supposed to curse...of course it was damn sexy when they did, but that's besides the point. "I mean, of course. I'll be right out."
Aurora: Flora's jaw dropped. "Princess! How dare you use such language! You say anything like that by your parents and they'll have your head. I expect you to be ready and down stairs for your lessons in an hour. I know the first day after your break can seem troublesome but cursing..." she ranted as she left the room.
Killian jones: He would have laughed if the situation wasn't so confusing. He looked in the closet and found a variety of dresses. Well, he sure knew what kind of dresses he liked, so he picked the most tight-fitting one he could and walked to the mirror. He had to admit, he was pretty hot.
Aurora: Aurora woke up groggily to a knock at her door. "Come in?" she called. It was odd for Flora to knock, she usually just walked in. Her voice came out deeper than usual, so she coughed to clear it.
Killian jones: Smee came in, bringing some chopped fish. It looked good, but not at all princess standard. "I-I'm sorry I'm late, captain, I-I didn't want to w-wake you..." he stuttered, looking terrified.
Aurora: She still hadn't opened her eyes, but she recognized that the voice wasn't who she had expected. "Captain? Where's Flora?" she inquired groggily.
Killian jones: "Flora?" He stared "THe um-woman? The woman at last station? Captain we set off a few days ago, are you feeling quite ill?"
Aurora: Aurora finally opened her eyes. The first thing she realized was she was -not- in her room at the palace. The second thing she realised was that her arm didn't look like her arm, but instead that of a man. She had no idea who this man in front of her was, but she knew she didn't want to alert him to her plight. She had already paused too long and she knew it. "Uh, no. Odd dream. That will be all," she dismissed him regally.
Killian jones: He nodded "Um...of course captain...?" He walked off to leave the captain to his own bidding, no matter how strange he was acting. He hadn't yelled at him -or- threatened to cut off...um, things that should not be mentioned.
Aurora: Aurora ran straight to the mirror that was hanging on the wall. Instead of her usual reflection, there was one of a man she had never laid eyes on before in her life. She could barely bight back her scream.
Killian jones: Killian made his way down to the dining room (with some trouble) and sat down. The food in front of him was...far more than he was used to, but being the pirate he was, he didn't ask questions before digging inn.
Aurora: "Aurora!" her mother scolded. "You've been taught better than that! Eat like a lady!"
Killian jones: Killian picked up the knife precariously "Of course, mother..." He of course, was born a noble, but it had been many years. And he was hungry. Very hungry "Aren't you hungry?" he said when she wasn't eating "Or are you afraid to get fat?"
Killian jones: *REDO* Killian picked up the knife precariously and sunk it into the fish as if it was a sword. He was hungry, very hungry and he had no idea what was going on.
Aurora: "Aurora!" her mother repeated in exasperation. "What did I -just- say?"
Killian jones: "i believe you just said that I should eat like a lady." He wanted to say that he was not a lady, but he didn't think that would help him.
Aurora: Her mother decided to ignore the back talk in her tone. "So why aren't you?"
Killian jones: "I am. This is how ladies at the tavern eat..."
Aurora: Her mother's jaw dropped. "Aurora Tam! You are a -princess-, -not- the kind of girl who goes to taverns! How you even know -how- those women..." she trailed off in anger.
Killian jones: "Well..." He decided to stop talking, but continued eating. Failing at eating properly, but eating all the same.
Aurora: After dressing as properly as she could (there wasn't much option with the clothing available) Aurora made her way to the deck. It hadn't taken long to figure out she was on a ship, and by the looks of the clothing, a pirate ship. Great. She was in the body of a pirate captain. That realization alone made it impossible to even consider why or how this had happened, she was still processing the fact that it had. She spotted the man who had brought her breakfast and approached him. "Sailor?" she addressed as she had no idea what his name was.
Killian jones: Jack looked confused. He had never called him sailor, but let it go. He didn't want to be forced off-ship. "Captain." He adressed. He did notice that the captain seemed more ruffled today as if he hadn't bothered to apply his regular eyeliner and whatever the hell he did to his hair. Not that he minded, but it made him wonder if something was wrong. "Can I do anything for you, captain?"
Killian jones: *smee not jack*
Aurora: "Where, exactly, are we headed?" Aurora tried to put as much authority as she could into it, but she knew how ridiculous it was for a Captain to inquire as to where his own ship was headed.
Killian jones: "Um...to the castle, of course, captain..." He obviously didn't know what was going on, and he wondered how much the captain had to drink the night before.
Aurora: Aurora gave a sarcastic look. "Helpful. Now, -which- castle?"
Killian jones: That was more like the captain. He brightened slightly "Long night, captain?" He said and then added
Killian jones: "Kingdom of sands of course."
Aurora: "Just making sure my crew was still competent." Aurora figured that sounded pirate captain-y...ish...
Killian jones: "O-of course..." He didn't know what was wrong with the captain, but didn't bother himself with it. They were reaching land and Smee smiled "We're right here, captain. See? It's right there...'
Aurora: Aurora smiled. It was odd to be approaching home on a ship. She had never left her kingdom before. The weird sense of freedom washed over her a few seconds before the home-sickness did. "Good," she nodded, "I think I came up with a new plan last night."
Killian jones: "A plan, Captain?" He waited.
Aurora: She nodded and took a deep breath in order to have those few seconds to think. She hadn't actually thought of anything. "Instead of just breaking into the palace blind, I am going to impersonate some royal or another to sneak in and take a couple weeks or so to get to know the place. Then I shall let you all into the palace so we can take whatever we want. All we'll have to do is steal some different clothes before the ball in two days. That gives me a logical reason to arrive at this time." Aurora really hoped that sounded good. As well as in character for whoever she was pretending to be.
Killian jones: Usually the captain didn't care about things like this, but apparently he was having one of his days. "o-of course..."
Killian jones: Killiian stood up. He knew that his ship would be on the horizon by now. "Can i go outside, uh-mother?"
Aurora: "Of course not. You have your first lesson in ten minutes. Your governess is waiting in the drawing room up in the east wing of the castle," Mother answered.
Killian jones: "Lesson? Oh of course." He courtseyed as well as a guy possibly could and walked off to the east side of the building where he eventually find this lady. She was very beautiful with caramelly skin and dark hair. "Governess." He said, smiling. She sat down without another word. Nailed it.
Aurora: "You should have curtseyed. And my name is Madam Hunt, not 'Governess'," the woman glared.
Aurora: *Madam Oswald
Killian jones: Or maybe not so nailed it. "I'm sorry, madam Oswald." He said, forcing himself to look ashamed.
Aurora: "That's better. Now, I know it has been three whole months since our last lesson, however I expect you haven't forgotten everything. However, I see you do apparently need a review. Of course, being your instructor of manners, that might be a bit tedious since it's such a vast subject. Let's get started."
Killian jones: Oh crap. Being a pirate, he wasn't exactly...oh crap. He nodded silently. "Of course madam."
Aurora: "Of course we shall start with the easiest to get it out of the way. Obviously you know how to act ladylike." She crossed the room to grab something off a countertop, then returned and handed it to her. "Your fan."
Killian jones: He took the fan and held it carefully, swallowing. SHe didn't seem like the most friendly...
Aurora: "Oh come on! How do you not remember this?" Madam Oswald fanned herself lightly, covering half of her face, just like Aurora had done a billion times.
Killian jones: Killian lamely tried to do the same and then rememered somethign: He was a pirate! He wasn't mean to do this, and he wasn't the one who would get in trouble for it. "Screw this. It's fricken cold in here and I don't need this s***"
Aurora: Madam Oswald's eyes widened. Aurora had -never- spoken in such a manner. Without a word she stood and left the room, locking the door behind her. Aurora would be stuck in a windowless, boring room for practically the entire day. "When I return I expect you not only to know how to properly use a fan, but also to be over whatever possessed you to speak to me that way. Have fun." With that she walked down the hall.
Killian jones: They had arrived at the castle, and Aurora was dressed and ready to be a nobleman. A suitor to Aurora.
Killian jones: *arriving at the castle. They were still a couple miles away.*
Killian jones: *ok apparently they were a few days away -_-*
Aurora: (THANK YOU)
Aurora: Aurora just kind of followed them into a tavern while still trying to look as if she were in charge. Aurora had never even passed by a tavern door in her life. Even when she went out into the kingdom she had never been to -this- part of it. The part her parents didn't want to admit existed. She found a table near the back while the rest of the crew dissolved into the crowd. She ordered a glass of rum like she saw several of the men had, but only sipped on it. She had never had alcohol in her life either.
Killian jones: One of the men raised their eyebrow at the captain and a beautiful woman with ah-rather large breasts walked up to her.
Aurora: "Hello," Aurora nodded at the woman. Aurora was confused as to why she was approaching her.
Killian jones: The woman smiled, stroking the stubble on her cheek "Hello, handsome..."
Killian jones: A few men stared at her, looking at Aurora as if she was the luckiest woman in the world
Killian jones: *or Hook. however the hell you're supposed to say that)
Aurora: (yes...Hook is the luckiest WOMAN in the world XD)
Killian jones: (-_-)
Aurora: "Uuuhhh," Aurora was sure she had that 'deer in the headlights' look all over her face (not that she would know what that meant...). She hadn't even thought about how handsome the body she now inhabited was, but now she wished she had. Maybe she would have thought of something to avoid this situation. "Hello, beautiful," she tried for flirtatious, but it kind of failed. She tried...
Killian jones: She rolled her eyes. She'd thought that a pirate would be better at flirting. "It's nice to see such...handsome company."
Aurora: "As is it nice to meet a woman as lovely as yourself," Aurora smiled. Well she always loved to be flattered when a man tried to flirt with her. Maybe that would work? She really didn't know -how- a pirate would act.
Killian jones: "Why thank you." said the woman. She knew that the pirate wasn't interested in her. "I'm Ruby."
Aurora: "A-Killian," Aurora quickly corrected. The name had been on one of the papers she had found in his cabin. "The red in your hair is interesting, I've never seen hair that colour," she said the first thing that popped into her mind.
Killian jones: Ruby grinned and pulled at a stroke of red in her hair "Really? It's really popular here. Are you new?"
Aurora: "Just a bit. I've seen the kingdom, though I've never been to this particular area. How do you get it like that?" It was intriguing, not that she particularly wanted to know for herself, she was just curious, and that mild curiosity was what showed through.
Killian jones: "I'm not sure that red would suit your skin tone." And gender. But Ruby laughed.
Aurora: Aurora laughed. "Not for me. I was just curious," she shrugged.
Killian jones: "Of course. Well you can get them around at the tattoo salon, you know? Evermore? Yeah, well you can get it there! Any color you want!"
Aurora: "Ah," Aurora nodded. "The way people can change their appearance these days..."
Killian jones: "You obviously do. I love the way you do the guyliner!" She grinned "I haven't seen a man pull it off like you can!"
Aurora: "Eh, it's kind of a new addition. I'm usually against society's pressures for people to look a certain way."
Killian jones: "really? Well my look is all my own."
Killian jones: Jack stared at the rest of the crewmates. "...What the hell are they doing."
Aurora: "I'm sorry if I offended you," Aurora quickly stated. "You look beautiful, and it really works on you, I'm just saying in general."
Aurora: "I have no idea...Usually Killian would be gettin' some by now..." Tom replied, highly confused.
Killian jones: "Oh I know!" SHe smiled "I didn't mean it like that. I'm perfectly fine with the way I look. Why are your crewmates starting at you like that?" She assumed he was always gay...
Aurora: "No idea..." Aurora turned her eyes to the men and gave them a 'what?' look before turning back to Ruby. "I assume they are jealous."
Killian jones: "Of what?" Gushed Ruby "ANy of them-well, most of them, can come talk all they want."
Aurora: She shrugged. "Most men are too insecure to actually initiate conversation with a lovely, intelligent woman."
Killian jones: "Oh I know right! You're pretty cool-for a guy I mean."
Aurora: "Thank you, M'lady," she grinned in a rather Killian-ish way, even though she didn't know it.
Killian jones: At the end of the day, after a lot of girl-talk, they left for the hotel-without Ruby. The crew turned to him "Why didn't you hit that?" Asked one guy.
Aurora: "Excuse me?" Aurora raised her eyebrows. How degrading that sounded...
Killian jones: "You usually bring back at least one..." He said, shrugging
Aurora: "I just..." she bit the inside of her lip. How to put this..."Don't feel like myself tonight."
Killian jones: Well that sounded like a total chick move. "Parently." Said the guy, shrugging. They each settled into rooms and Aurora had some time to herself to look into the mirror or whatever she watned to do.
Killian jones: Kilian was going insane without anything to do. He gritted his teeth, tapping his thin fingers on the top of his chair. He absentmindedly squished at his new boob, fascinated.
Aurora: Madam Oswald walked back into the room when their lesson was supposed to be half over. With a raised eyebrow she half-smirked. "Aurora? Are you ready to behave like a lady or shall I come back later?"
Killian jones: "Yes. Ready." He said too quickly. He didn't know exactly what to do, but... he would definitely try his best. Killian had always gotten cabin fever, and this was exactly the same feeling.
Aurora: "Lovely," she smiled. "Now, show me you remember how to use a fan."
Killian jones: He frowned but attempted to hold the fan the way she had
Aurora: "Better," Madam Oswald smiled. "Now, would you like a cup of tea? I know I would. They can help with stressful mornings."
Killian jones: Killian had never had much of a taste for tea, not unless it had an extra spike to it, but he didn't wish to annoy her. "Yes, please."
Aurora: With a smile Madam Oswald hailed a servant and put in their request. Returning to her seat she inquired, "So what would you like to talk about? It's been an awfully long time."
Killian jones: With a beautiful woman like miss Oswald, generally he would rather talk about her, but he wasn't in his general body, and she might find it a bit strange. "I read a good book the other day about a pirate and a princess. I doubt you've read it, but it was quite an interesting story." It would be, actually, but he was starting to become rather afraid that it would be permanent."
Aurora: "Really? What happened in this book?"
Killian jones: "Well I'm only on the first chapter, see." He said, contemplating how to say this. "But the pirate woke up in a princess' body. He's quite confused, really... it's an interesting book so far. i'll tell you how it progresses as soon as I have time to read more."
Aurora: "Interesting," Madam Oswald nodded. She had a sinking suspicion that this wasn't exactly a book, but she didn't want to say anything. "Has the author revealed what happened to the real princess yet?"
Killian jones: He shook his head, smiling "I think that'll be an interesting story, though."
Aurora: "Well...what do you think the pirate should do? I mean if you were the author, of course?"
Killian jones: "i'm not sure yet. I'm only on chapter one."
Aurora: She bit her lip in thought. What advice to give... "If I was this pirate, I would do my best to blend in and pretend to be the princess as well as I could until I figured out what was going on. Tell me how it works out, alright?"
Killian jones: He nodded but knew that she knew what was going on. "Of course. I'll see you lader, Madam Oswald." He nodded his head and walked out.
Aurora: "Oh, Aurora?" Madam Oswald stopped her before she could walk out. "If you ever need a...refresher on anything, just let me know."
Killian jones: "Always." He said before closing the door on the way out. He didn't know exactly where either of them was, so he wandered around aimlessly. He really had no idea where to go-especially when he didn't know the castle. Well, hell.
Aurora: Phillip rounded the corner and smiled when he spotted Aurora. "Love, you finished with lessons early?"
Killian jones: He stared at the man. He was too well-groomed, which Hook didn't like at all. Men like that were always pussies. "Yeah, I did -love-"
Aurora: "Wonderful," Phillip smiled. He swept across the few feet between them and gave her a celebratory kiss. It seemed like any reason was a good reason to kiss her nowadays. Ah, young love.
Killian jones: Killian let out a small sqeual which was unlike him and punched him straight in the jaw. He was -not- that gay.
Aurora: Phillip groaned in pain, but quickly turned back to Aurora. "I-I'm so sorry, I thought...never mind, I'm so sorry. My fault. I didn't know you didn't want me to kiss you."
Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow and shook his head "I'll see you later whatever your name is." And walked off as quickly as he could.
Aurora: That one truly hurt. Aurora and him had spent countless hours together. She knew his name. If Phillip would have known one kiss would make her pretend not even to know him...he regretted it with everything he was.
Killian jones: He shook his head and went off to find a drink of rum. As long as no one knew where he was, he could wander.
Aurora: Aurora woke bright and early the next morning. She wanted to go back to sleep when she realized that she was still trapped in the pirate's body. She had hoped it was like a 24 hour thing. Apparently she was wrong.
Killian jones: It was too early for te captain to wake up, so smee didn't think anything of the noise.
Aurora: Aurora waited patiently for the rest of them to awake. She had borrowed a book from the ship which appeared to be a Captain's log. The perfect place to get a bit of information on who she was supposed to be. She sat primly on the side of the bed and began to read.
Killian jones: It basically just gave a brief summary of Milah and revenge and a few attributes.
Aurora: Aurora at least got a sense of the personality she was to portray. Swagger, womanizer, completely in charge. Wonderful. Finally she heard other's stirring and headed down to the dining area of the place to get a quick breakfast before they would head out. The closer they got to the palace, the closer she was to finding out what was going on. She gave a charming (she hoped it was charming at least) smile as Ruby came over to chat with her. "Hello."
Killian jones: "hey killian!" Said ruby with a smile. "It's nice to see you."
Aurora: "You as well," she nodded politely before realizing how princess-like that was. How was she supposed to be a pirate? She had never met a man like she was supposed to be besides in novels. How did they speak? Hold themselves? She had no idea.
Killian jones: she shook her head "your so not what I expected a pirate to be like."
Aurora: "Really? And what -did- you expect?" Maybe this would be helpful in the long run, despite already blowing the facade with Ruby.
Killian jones: " dunno. Unnattractive, teeth rotted out their skulls. To keep up your appearance you must be kinda a clean freak."
Aurora: Aurora laughed. "Something like that."
Killian jones: "We'll I think that's quite reapectable. Your crew obviously are not."
Aurora: "They're good sailors," she shrugged, hoping that sounded alright. Yeah, that sounded like something a captain would say...
Killian jones: "I'm sure they are." Se looked at them with distaste. "So why are you here? Seems to me it would be dangerous to travel so close to royalty."
Aurora: Aurora grinned and leaned in conspiratorially. "Can I trust you to keep a secret?"
Killian jones: "Of course."
Aurora: "That's -why- we're here. Royalty tend to be rather rich." There. That sounded pirate-y.
Killian jones: She nodded "well duh-but I mean isn't it dangerous?"
Aurora: "Of course," she put all her thoughts about adventure into that one look. She thought of all the stories she had read when she was little and how she so desperately wanted to go on an adventure. It -had- to look convincing.
Killian jones: She shook her head, laughing "well good luck with that."
Aurora: "Hey, it's possible! You obviously don't know me."
Killian jones: "Obviously. But I'd like to."
Aurora: He gave a nod. "Thank you, M'lady."
Killian jones: (She's getting good xD) ruby smiled "I can help you get in, you know."
Aurora: (She is XD) "While I would love your, ah...company, I fear you may be needed here. Surely you'd be missed?" She was sure glad she'd read that Captain's log. Yeash, one part of it was practically flirting 101.
Killian jones: "Not really. Besides, I wouldn't go with you, but you'll have trouble getting into the castle.
Aurora: "I don't know about that. I'm pretty smart, you know." It was really kind of Ruby to offer. However, Aurora didn't really want to keep up the flirting. Sure, she kind of knew how now, but that didn't mean she could keep it up forever. Besides, she knew a secret passage that would get her right into the castle.
Killian jones: "Alright. Well you'd better get out soon, then."
Aurora: "We were just on our way. Thank you for your...hospitality." Would a pirate know a word like that? She hoped so. They couldn't be complete morons...right?
Killian jones: They set off, but the crew kept muttering worriedly about their captain.
Killian jones: Killian hadn't found any rum after all, but found himself right in the way of Auroras mother.
Aurora: Her mother smiled. "Aurora, lovely to see you. Madam Oswald told me how you weren't feeling well this morning. Sorry I snapped at you, I had no idea."
Killian jones: He nodded "it's fine of course, mother." He wasnt used to addressing anyone as such. "I'll just be in my room."
Aurora: "I thought maybe we'd take a walk together? If you're feeling better, of course."
Killian jones: "That would be lovely." Said killian with a forced smile.
Aurora: "Good," her mother smiled and looped her arm through Aurora's. She guided them to the gardens where she slowly sauntered through a row of the beautiful hedges. "I thought we'd have a nice chat about Phillip."
Killian jones: Oh god. The by one. "What about him?"
Killian jones: (Gay not by)
Aurora: Her mother sighed. She wasn't quite sure how to start this. It still had her a bit shaken that her daughter was old enough for courting. "I realize how close you two have been growing lately. While it's only natural for a young lady such as your self to be courted, I just wanted to talk to you about how you feel."
Killian jones: "He has not proposed." Added Killian
Aurora: "No, of course not. Not yet, anyway." She grinned at her daughter, "I know it's coming though. I've seen you two together. And I...well no mother wants her baby to grow up, but I approve of the match. What do -you- think? I don't want to pressure you if you don't love Phillip."
Killian jones: "I don't think you'll have o worry for quite a while." He said. He didn't know if aurora loved him or not and he wasnt about to mess with true love.
Aurora: "Of course. Take your time. This isn't something that has to be rushed. In fact, it shouldn't be."
Killian jones: "I agree." Said killian "love pressured will crack." He hoped he sounded like a princess (something he never thought he would want) but only thought of Milah.
Aurora: Her mother raised an eyebrow, "How do -you- know so much about love?"
Killian jones: He shook his head "it is only common sense. Just like an friendship."
Aurora: "Since when did I have such a wise daughter?" She kissed the top of Aurora's head. "I'm proud of you."
Killian jones: He almost bust out laughing. Wise!? He was a pirate, and a darned good one too. Instead he smiled and told aurora's mother that he would be back as soon as dinner arrived.
Aurora: Aurora was more sure as she lead the crew through the kingdom. She knew these roads well now that they were closer to the castle. Heck, they'd probably be there before nightfall. "Smee?" she whispered to the man who'd name she learned thanks to someone talking to him. "Why is the crew looking at me like that?"
Killian jones: he looked back "well... I suppose they are wondering how you know your way through these tunnels." That and he was acting really weird.
Aurora: (Tunnels? Dude...they're on the main road to the castle...?)
Killian jones: (mental image ruined. XD she said that she knew a back way to the castle...so...uh-yeah XD)
Aurora: ("She knew these ROADS well" What about that screams tunnel to you? The tunnel doesn't come in until later)
Killian jones: (got it. i thought this was later I guess.) *ROADS NOT TUNNELS*
Aurora: "They're not exactly hard to follow," she shrugged.
Killian jones: "O-of course captain." Said Smee as if he was afraid of getting hit.
Aurora: "You keep acting afraid?" she pointed out half in quiestion.
Aurora: *question
Killian jones: He shook his head "I'm sorry, sir..."
Aurora: "I'm just...wondering why, I guess," she shrugged again. This was -not- pirate like, but she was really curious. Who was the person whose body she now inhabited?
Killian jones: "You're the captain of course." Said Smee simply. It wasn't as if the captain had ever actually hit him, but he would occasionally lash out in his bad days. And he was sure that this was one of them-or he was just being weird.
Aurora: Ah. So he was -that- kind of person. Aurora was lost in the thought for a while, simply thinking about what had happened so far and how the heck she would continue to fake this. Her mother had always taught her to treat people like equals no matter who they were. That must be why her feet were suddenly swept from under her and she landed flat on her face.
Killian jones: Smee's eyes widened and snickers erupted from the crew.
Aurora: Aurora stood up in an as dignified way as possible. Was she embarrassed? Heck yes, but she didn't need them to know that. "Yep, gravity still works," she chuckled. She'd learned long ago that to laugh at oneself in these situations was best.
Killian jones: "'parently your feet don't." Said Jack, snickering
Aurora: Crap. Now she had to respond like Hook would. -Channel your inner pirate- she sighed to herself. Aurora let the anger that she'd previously ignored course through her. She turned slowly and met his gaze directly. "If you don't stop talking then neither will you lungs," she growled.
Killian jones: Jack shrugged and they continued walking. By nightfall they had reached the castle.
Aurora: Aurora led them around to the side of the walls that surrounded the castle. "Now, you all are to wait at the nearest town. I'll be back as soon as I can, and then we'll clean the place out. Got it?" she commanded in her most authoritative tone.
Killian jones: Smee nodded and took the crew to a nearby town.
Aurora: Aurora took a deep breath before slipping into the secret passage. It lead to a spot a few halls down from where Phillip was staying in the castle, which was where she was headed first. She'd need a change of clothes and she supposed Hook and Phillip would be about the same size. She was not looking forward to the awkwardness that was changing. She still hadn't really acknowledged all the...new parts...
Killian jones: Phillip was walking back to his room when his eyes widened "Pirate...?"
Aurora: She had not been expecting this! Crap crap crap! Luckily it was still dark so Phillip likely didn't see her (his?) face. She punched him hard in the face, effectively knocking him out. "I am so sorry, Phillip," she gasped.
Killian jones: The dressing room was full of regular clothes, unlike Killian's leather.
Aurora: Aurora changed as quickly as she could under the circumstances. A hand was not something that wouldn't be missed. Taking the pirate clothes with her she made her way to one of the bedrooms in the west wing that were hardly ever used. Tomorrow she would arrive in time for the ball, find her own body, and try to figure it out from there. She hoped that would work. She really didn't know what she'd do if it didn't.
Killian jones: In the morning, Aurora and Killian had prepared for the ball. Killian sat in a chair, wondering if anyone would ask him to dance and hoping like hell that no one would.
Aurora: Aurora's plan had worked like a charm. She was dressed in the proper way, so no one asked questions. It was nice to be back home. Her mother always loved throwing balls early in the day, many didn't understand it, but her mother liked it and that was all that mattered. Her gaze swept over the room, she hoped to avoid Phillip if at all possible (that was a first). When she spotted herself sitting by the wall it was kind of a shock-horror. Looking at yourself was...weird to say the least. Aurora made her way over to...Aurora? "Care to dance?" she offered her hand to whoever was now in her body.
Killian jones: Killian saw his own body and scowled "What the hell did you dress me in?"
Aurora: "Lady's do not curse," she chided. "I had to get in here to speak with you somehow. What was I supposed to do? Just walk right in in you full pirate get-up?"
Killian jones: "Yes, I think that would have been a rather hilarious display." he said, shaking his head .
Aurora: "Come on, or people will start to wonder," she indicated her still outstretched hand.
Killian jones: "I don't know how to follow." Said Killian sharply "It's not a skill I've needed funny enough."
Aurora: "Then lead," she snapped. She already saw Phillip heading over out of the corner of her eye. Probably to inquire if this random duke was harassing her in anyway. While it was incredibly sweet, she didn't need that right now. "Unless you would rather dance with my prince?"
Killian jones: "Nah, I dont' think I'm his type." he said dryly. Women didn't lead, but he decided to before they looked stupid. He was actualyl quite a good dancer, being 5 inches shorter than Aurora.
Aurora: First she rested her hand on his (her?) shoulder, but quickly corrected. She was supposed to be the man anyway. He (she?)... THE ONE THAT DID NOT HAVE THE MIND OF AURORA lead anyway. It was odd, but it didn't seem like anyone noticed. "What did you do?" she asked after a minute, keeping her voice low. She didn't need anyone overhearing this conversation.
Killian jones: "What did I do?" He asked, whispering. "Well other than punching your boyfriend-not all that much."
Aurora: "You did what?!" she hissed. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm herself. "I mean, what did you do to make us switch bodies?"
Killian jones: "You think I want to be a f- a princess?" He said, giving a glare that didn't quite look right on Aurora's face.
Aurora: "Well -I- sure didn't do this!"
Killian jones: "I'm sure you didn't, so let's find a way to fix it." He looked pensive for a moment. "I know a witch that might be able to fix this."
Aurora: "You do?" she raised an eyebrow. "And how do I know I can trust you?"
Killian jones: "Because if you can't trust yourself, you're screwed."
Aurora: "-You- may have my body, but you are -not- me!" she snapped.
Killian jones: "Fine. You don't, but I always make do on my promises and what makes you think that I want this body? I don't want the crown, I never have."
Aurora: She paused in thought. "You have been at least -trying- to act like me, correct?"
Killian jones: He gave a coy smile "Your mom was fooled at least. I'm not sure about your friend Mrs. Oswald."
Aurora: "Oh, that doesn't surprise me. She knows everything." Aurora sighed in relief. "I shutter to think what you could have done if...I'm just not going to go there.
Aurora: "
Killian jones: He shrugged as Phillip came over. His face relaxed into a smile that looked too much like Aurora's to be normal.
Aurora: "Phillip," Aurora smiled in greeting. She had missed him.
Killian jones: Killian punched Aurora's shoulder. "phillip." He greeted with a smile.
Aurora: "Good, I had heard that was your name, but wasn't a hundred percent sure," Aurora covered quickly. She hoped more than anything he didn't recognize her from last night.
Killian jones: Killian definitely didn't want to dance with a guy. "Yeah. I told him all about you."
Aurora: "Ah," Phillip smiled. "It's nice to meet you...?"
Aurora: "Duke Philip. That's why Aurora told me about you. Funny we had the same name," she rattled, saying the first thing that popped into her head as she shook Phillip's hand.
Killian jones: Killian nearly groaned "Yep. Great that you both know each other. Quite a coincidence, don't you think?"
Aurora: "Very," the real Phillip nodded. "Now, you don't mind if I cut in of course?" Aurora nodded politely and allowed him to take her (him?).
Killian jones: Well this was just an effing brilliant day, wasn't it? "Yeah no. Hey Phillip-not you, we should get out of here."
Aurora: "Aurora? Before you go, I need to talk to you before you disappear," Prince Phillip smiled shyly at her.
Killian jones: He frowned and turned to Aurora before nodding. "Of course."
Aurora: Phillip got down on one knee. The band had stopped playing. He had asked her parents about this the day before and had gotten their full permission. "Aurora, my love, I know this is a big step, and you're probably scared. Hey, so am I, but I love you and want to be with you every day for the rest of my life. Will you, please, marry me?" He took a ring out of his pocket and prepared to slip it onto her finger. He looked up at Aurora with love in his eyes.
Killian jones: Killiian would have immediately refused, but it was her love and he wasn't one for destroying that. "One second, please..." He said and rushed back to Aurora. "Do you want to marry him or not?"
Killian jones: *REDO* Killian would have immediately refused, but it was her love and he wasn't one for destroying that. He turned his head to Aurora, as if to say "What do you want, then, love?"
Aurora: Aurora shook her head no. She cared for Phillip deeply, and she really was falling in love with him. But she wasn't there yet and her life was so complicated at this moment that she just...couldn't. She hated to hurt him like this but...it wasn't a never, just a not now.
Killian jones: He felt bad for Phillip. Had he been the marriage type, he might have had a similar issue with Milah. "Phillip.." He tried to muster his inner-Aurora ness, which was as humiliating as it was for her. "I'm so so sorry but I'm just not ready. I'm not ready to make such a tough life decision and... I might be ready later but I can't do this now."
Aurora: Aurora almost sighed in relief. The room froze at the refusal. No one had been expecting that. Although she wondered how Killian knew her so well, that was pretty much exactly what she was feeling. "RUN" she mouthed to him. They needed to talk and this was not the place. Besides, he really needed to get out of there anyway.
Killian jones: He nodded and ran as fast as he could with tiny legs. "Where's the crew?" He hissed
Aurora: Aurora disappeared into the crowd before heading out after her. It couldn't look like anything was going on with them. "In the nearest town, about a mile from here. Why?"
Aurora: "Because you've been kidnapped," a voice from behind them said. "Phillip reported seeing a pirate earlier today. Obviously the pirate kidnapped you for the ransom. Which would go over well with your crew as well," Madam Oswald smiled.
Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow "huh? Well then. I wasn't actually thinking anything so crude but that's quite a good idea." He shrugged "However, I'm more interested in getting my body back than I am about money at the moment."
Aurora: "True," Madam Oswald had a small smile, "but they don't know that, do they?"
Killian jones: "They don't. Are you trying to give me bad ideas?"
Aurora: "You're a pirate. How much damage could I do? Besides, I think you two will figure something out. You make quite the interesting team.
Killian jones: "Pirate and the princess. Has quite an interesting ring to it, doesn't it, milady?" He said, grinning. He turned to Oswin "I'll have her back. I promise."
Aurora: "I shall see you later then," with a look that seemed to hold more to it, she disappeared back inside.
Killian jones: He shook his head "Now let's go, then." After a few minutes they arrived at the hotel where the crew was staying. He walked with a certain swagger that made him look more like a pirate than a princess, however, and they immediately just thought she was a woman that Kilian had brought back.
Aurora: Jack grinned at "Aurora". "Well, despite the pansy clothes, you didn't do too bad," he told Killian.
Killian jones: "Too bad?" He glared at Aurora "Well true enough, you are totally wearing pansy clothes. If you don't change, i'll do it for you and I'm so not going there."
Aurora: Aurora rolled her eyes. Normally it was unladylike, but she figured that was alright in this situation. "Like that would be so bad," sarcasm oozed from her voice. Obviously she meant that it was his body, but hopefully the crew would take it as something else.
Killian jones: She shrugged "Maybe not. You are amazingly handsome. Now. I'm not sleeping here, hell, if you're going to kidnap me, do it in style."
Aurora: There was a laugh from the crew. "You've got a feisty one here, Killian," Tom jeered.
Aurora: "Well then, where -would- you like to sleep, princess?" Aurora smiled coldly. Again hoping he'd get one meaning, and the crew another.
Killian jones: He laughed at the irony "Yeah, -Killian- you do." She rolled her eyes and added "I don't know, I'd sleep in the captain's room but as we're not in the ship, I suppose a hotel room will do." She looked at them through her eyelashes "So you'd better buy one. Go ahead, peasants."
Aurora: Aurora was -not- happy. She did -not- act like that. "Keep that up and you'll sleep on the ground," she glared at him.
Killian jones: "Oh I'm sure. Knowing you, you'd be right there with me. Don't act like you're the one in control here." he shrugged "Go sit in your F******* thrown, captain."
Aurora: Aurora was about to retort when an idea came to her. With a grin she sauntered up to him and lowered her head to where her mouth was right by his ear like she was being seductive or whatever it was he thought he did. "Keep this up and I will put on a dress and start screaming that I'm a fairy at the top of my lungs. Heck, I might even sing a bit too. Don't tempt me," she threatened. "Now react like I said something you would say."
Killian jones: He glared at her, gritting his teeth. "Fine. I'll stay with you. But if you try anything..."
Aurora: Aurora pulled away, and just like she had said to Ruby, "Thank you, -M'lady-." She knew the 'lady' part would get to him. JUST LIKE HE DESERVED!
Killian jones: He gave her an obviously fake smile and followed him into the room where he sat on the floor "This will not go over well."
Aurora: She gave him a 'you've got to be kidding me' look. "No! Really? I thought it would go just swimmingly!"
Killian jones: "I meant you being captain. YOu've almost got the flirting down, but you're not me. They'll figure it out."
Aurora: "Oh, and you're just -so- good at being me?"
Killian jones: '
Killian jones: 'no, but they don't know you.''
Aurora: "Yes, but I'm pretty sure they know the difference between a real person and making a show of being someone."
Killian jones: They'd seen him enough times and they still didn't realize it was a show. "They're not the smartest bunch."
Aurora: "I still don't appreciate being made fun of."
Killian jones: He shrugged "I wasn't making fun of you. I know how to put on a show, that's all I know how to do. So I did."
Aurora: "Why must you put on a show for them?" she inquired as she sat next to him.
Killian jones: "It's part of being a captain." He lied quickly
Aurora: "It has something to do with Mihla, doesn't it?" she asked softly.
Killian jones: He suddenly tensed "And how exactly do you know about Milah?"
Aurora: "I kind of read the captain's log..." she admitted.
Killian jones: He shrugged "I didn't write that. It's probably not completely accurate."
Aurora: The Captain not writing the captain's log? She didn't believe that, but decided not to push. "I guess we should get started then."
Killian jones: "Oh I could take that in a few ways." He said with a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes-they never really did actually... of course she probably hadn't realized that before and he hoped that she didn't now. "Get started with what, milady?"
Aurora: Aurora laughed, "That sounds so weird coming from myself. Get started with you teaching me how to be you. It seems like I need the help if we're going to make it to this witch that you have in mind."
Killian jones: "Alright. How about this? i say something, you reply acting like me."
Aurora: "That would be perfect if I knew how to do that. The thing is, I don't really know you that well," she sighed.
Killian jones: "It's fine, I'll fix your replies as they come up." He pressed up his breasts and crossed his legs "Hey pirate."
Aurora: She rolled her eyes. "You did -not- just seriously touch my boobs."
Killian jones: "They're my boobs now, honey. But I wouldn't say that. Try again."
Aurora: "I wasn't trying to be you. And they most certainly are not! Not that I do, but the only person allowed to do that is myself," she huffed.
Killian jones: "You can if you want." He said, licking his newly-plump limps.
Aurora: She gave a sly look. She would never actually just grab her boobs, but this wasn't exactly a normal circumstance and what the hell! She reached out with her only good hand and grabbed one of her boobs. She pulled her hand back and laughed. "I can't believe I just did that."
Killian jones: Killian laughed too "Neither can I. See, more like me already."
Aurora: "Oh no, you're already having a bad influence on me," she teased.
Killian jones: "Grabbing boobs already...Killian 101. Now go ahead. I swear if someone flirts with you and you tell them that you're gay I will kill you."
Aurora: "Well apparently I'd grope her," Aurora laughed.
Killian jones: He shook his head "I'm being serious for once, Aurora! Take advantage of this opportunity before I start drinking."
Aurora: "Noted, drinking is common," she nodded. "Alright...uh...dang it! I don't know how to flirt!"
Killian jones: He put his arm around her "Hell there. I'm killian. And you, my dear?"
Killian jones: *HEY
Aurora: "Are creeped out by this? I mean how are you not freaking out watching yourself act so...unlike you?"
Killian jones: "Oh yes i'm completely creeped out, but I have to do something about it." He shrugged and picked up a bottle of rum from in the cupboard. "You might want a drink. I'm not sure if you'd have withdrawals or not."
Aurora: "Yes, let's add alcohol to this mess," she sighed. "Give it here."
Killian jones: "mmhmm, and what exactly are you going to do with this-and I just realized something extremely disturbing."
Aurora: "What did you realize?"
Killian jones: He uncapped the bottle and took a long drink "That I'm a girl-and my brain doesn't have a gender."
Aurora: She raised an eyebrow. "I guess that really does make me gay then."
Killian jones: "Me too..." He said, gritting his teeth. "Damn, never thought I'd have to say that." He took another long drink "Gonna need this."
Aurora: "Be careful. Unlike you, my body doesn't have tolerance for that." However she took a sip from the bottle herself.
Killian jones: He grinned "No, no it doesn't. Your body gets drunk really, really fast." He took another sip "Nice. I can deal with this."
Aurora: "You're going to have a horrible headache tomorrow," she pointed out.
Killian jones: "I always have a headache." He said, taking another long swig. "I'm used to it. You on the other hand, probably are not."
Aurora: "True. But I assume your body has quite the alcohol tolerance. I'll be fine."
Killian jones: He shrugged as if he agreed "Have to be as a pirate. Put rum in all of the water to purify it. That on the other hand, is not watered down."
Aurora: "How do you live like this?" she shook her head. It was almost barbaric.
Killian jones: "There are two extremes: Pirating and royalty. You're the other side of the spectrum. I could say the same to you. But haven't you ever just wanted to escape and look for gold and dragons? Warlocks and witches blocking the trail?"
Aurora: "Escape? Yes. Go get killed? Not so much."
Killian jones: "I'm alive, aren't I? Aurora I've been doing this for 300 years, and I'm not dead. Think about it? Sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in on you, and out here there isn't any of that. No restrictions, no rules... Never have to grow up, really. And after all, age is the great defence of the dying."
Aurora: She raised an eyebrow at him. "If I didn't know better I would think you wanted me to stay with you."
Killian jones: He shook his head "Nah. You're queen and besides, you're a woman." He didn't mean that in an offensive way-just that she wouldn't last because the crew wouldn't respect her. He always would, but he had never been so prejudiced.
Aurora: She glared. "Not at the moment. Besides, the fact that I'm a woman doesn't mean I couldn't handle it."
Killian jones: "i'm not saying you're not. However, some men would be so brash as to take advantage of you. I don't doubt that you would be a fabulous pirate."
Aurora: "I'll take that as a compliment," she laughed. "I don't think I would though. I'm failing pretty badly right now."
Killian jones: "That's because you're trying to be me. And yes, you are failing at that." When he was drunk he sometimes failed to put up the usual mask, and he knew that it was falling but couldn't bring himself to care.
Aurora: Aurora was just starting to feel the effects of the rum herself. Dang. How much -did- he drink? "You're right, I would make a fabulous pirate," she grinned.
Killian jones: Killian on the other hand was half way to wonderland. "Maybe. Milah always was. You know the crew never dared touch her..."
Aurora: "I think that might have been because they were too scared of you to even try." Aurora giggled at him. It was so funny watching 'herself' be drunk.
Killian jones: "That's possible. I'm terrifying." He said convincingly
Aurora: "I'm not sure they're so scared anymore. I kind of tripped and landed on my face. They seemed pretty amused."
Killian jones: He snickered "Wish I was there. Never thought I'd see a princess fall on her face."
Aurora: "Hey! Technically it was -you-! It's not my fault your body is clumsy," she teased.
Killian jones: "My body is so not clumsy!" He said, leaning to the side slightly "Your mind is clumsy."
Aurora: "Yeah, when it's drunk. I -warned- you that I have no tolerance for that!"
Killian jones: "Yes, well that was sort of the point. I don't drink to get tipsy, love."
Aurora: "I've noticed. I guess that's one thing you like better about being in my body," she sighed.
Killian jones: "There are a few things I like about this body." He purred, looking increasingly drunk.
Aurora: She froze, eyes wide, as all the things he could have done ran through her mind. "I don't think I -want- to know."
Killian jones: "No. I did however, punch your boyfriend. he tried to kiss me and I am -not- that gay."
Aurora: "-That- gay?" she raised an eyebrow.
Killian jones: "I've been really, really drunk in my life." he explained. Of course he'd never actually kissed a guy, but that was besides the point.
Aurora: Aurora laughed at the mental picture. "I've kissed a girl too," she admitted.
Killian jones: "Have you now?" He asked "I would pay to see that."
Aurora: "You wish," she rolled her eyes. Obviously she hadn't, but she had wanted to see his reaction.
Killian jones: He took another drink "This is going to run out if I don't stop now." He said, though he didn't look happy at the idea "I've never kissed a guy as far as I remember."
Aurora: "I have the sinking suspicion there's been quite a few times you've blacked out. But hey, now you have."
Killian jones: "Yes well I punched him before he could actually kiss me-you-whatever."
Aurora: She bit her lip in thought. "If we kissed now would that mean you just kissed a guy or girl?" Of course it was pure speculation, but a good question.
Killian jones: "I'm going to say girl because even the thought of kissing myself is too amazing to think."
Aurora: "That has to be the most conceited thing I've ever heard!"
Killian jones: "I'm not conceited, I'm just sure of myself."
Aurora: "I bet if we kissed right now you'd discover how horrible of a kisser you've been all this time," she teased.
Killian jones: "the only thing we would realize is that you never even learned."
Aurora: "Wow, I'm -not- a slut. What a discovery!"
Killian jones: "You should really start." He said with a lopsided smile "It's really quite fun. Good distraction too."
Aurora: Maybe he wasn't as tolerant against alcohol as she thought because she actually considered kissing him (her?) for a moment. How many times did you get the opportunity to see how good of a kisser you were? Not often. "Yeah, -that's- advice I'll take," she rolled her eyes instead.
Killian jones: "I always give good advice." He agreed
Aurora: "Says the one who just said I should be a slut."
Killian jones: "You should be. It'd be pretty fun to see. Took me a while too if it helps. You could start."
Aurora: She rolled her eyes. "-Right- because I'm -actually- considering it," sarcasm dripped from her voice.
Killian jones: He leaned towards her so that their noses touched "You should reconsider."
Aurora: "You know, all I'm getting from this conversation is that you want to have sex with me," she replied, voice even.
Killian jones: "Who wouldn't?" He said, smiling slightly.
Aurora: "I'm not sure which one of us you were complimenting."
Killian jones: "I always compliment a woman first." He said, and brought his lips to her.
Aurora: It was really weird kissing herself. Was she really kissing herself, or was she kissing him? Either way Aurora was kissing a pirate and that was just not normal. Not that she really minded at the moment.
Killian jones: He pulled away after a moment "Well. Done with that. Kissing myself is just a little strange."
Aurora: Aurora laughed. "Just a bit," she nodded.
Killian jones: "Well, I know I'm drunk now. See you in the morning."
Aurora: "Night," she smiled. Well...If she had to be stuck in someone's body...at least it was someone she could deal with.
Killian jones: He curled up in bed and muttered "AM I going to have to wear milah's clothes? I don't think mine'll fit."
Aurora: "Probably," she yawned as she curled up next to him. For now, they'd just have to share.
Killian jones: "I'll just satay in this." He decided, tossing slightly."
Aurora: "Alright," Aurora muttered, but she was already practically asleep.
Killian jones: In the morning, Killian had a hangover but he wouldn't really tell anyone about it. He stalked out into the center room where everyone was sitting and realized that he was a girl. Well, hell.
Aurora: "Sit down, Princess. This isn't your castle," Aurora said in an annoyed tone as she stepped up beside him. She hoped that sounded like what he would say.
Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow. That sounded way too much like him to be normal "Obviously. My parents have far better taste than this." He sat down, looking as annoyed as he could.
Aurora: "-Obviously- they have better taste than -I- do," she said sarcastically. Her real sarcasm wasn't what the crew thought. It was the fact that they -did- have better taste than Hook did, but they wouldn't know that.
Killian jones: Hook gave an annoyed smile "I think we have about the same taste if you ask me. Except that Phillip isn't near as attractive as you are."
Aurora: "Well he's lucky to have you, now shut it," she snapped.
Killian jones: "But you know, I didn't want to marry him because I wasn't ready. -I- was too cowardly."
Aurora: She glared, "-You- are anything but cowardly. It's understandable to just not be ready!"
Killian jones: "Yes, but you had the chance to be happy." He sounded... not angry, but there was strong emotion. Just not an identifiable one. "-I- had a chance and I just left with a pirate and I had a chance at happiness but i didn't take it."
Aurora: "How could you be happy with someone you don't know if you love! Yeash! I already have enough freaking walls! Why would you be mad for me not wanting to build another one!" She -was- angry. She didn't even remember that people were watching, she just had to tell him -why-.
Killian jones: "I wasn't talking about Phillip."
Aurora: "Yeah, well I was!" Aurora set her hands on her hips in full sass mode. "Just because you lost Mihla doesn't mean you know anything about Phillip and I!"
Killian jones: "No. I don't." He agreed cooly "You weren't ready but do you know what leaving would have done to him? What do you think is going through his mind? I can guarantee that you don't love him because you would have thought about him before you ran. You didn't say yes because you didn't love him, but he obviously loves you, so how you could let him think..."
Aurora: "You -know- my reasons for leaving," she growled. How could he possibly think-?
Killian jones: "I know your reasons for leaving, yes, but I also know that you could have told him. And you didn't and you haven't had a single thought about him."
Aurora: Tears started in the back of her eyes, a mix of both sadness, but mostly anger. "How dare you," her voice was small and ice cold.
Killian jones: "You haven't even thought about him. If you think this is love, then you have a pretty twisted version of it."
Aurora: "I already told you I'm not sure, alright?!" she exclaimed in anger, tears starting to fall.
Killian jones: The crew stared at them in disbelief. He turned to them and narrowed his eyes "I suppose we have some explaining to do."
Aurora: "Well then, have fun. You -obviously- don't need -my- help," Aurora snapped. She saluted sarcastically.
Killian jones: He grabbed onto her arm "You're the other half of this. You're going to explain this with me becaues I only know half of the story."
Aurora: "Fine," she grumbled. "Speak."
Killian jones: "One word: Body swap." (be the crew?)
Aurora: The crew still had 'What the f***' looks on their faces thanks to the argument. After a pause one of the crew spoke up. "What?"
Killian jones: Killian shrugged, leaning in the chair "I really have no idea. We're going to see Cora about it, though. As much as I enjoy this body, it's not ah- efficient. Especially being a princess. I swear if one more person tries to teach me how to use a knife properly, i'll stab them with it."
Aurora: "Well if you could behave like a civilized human being, then maybe you wouldn't have this problem," Aurora smiled sweetly.
Aurora: Tom laughed, "It is -not- right seeing our Captain act like a princess. Tell her to flirt or something, I can't handle this."
Killian jones: "Sorry, love, I wasn't born rich, I didn't have a governess to teach me how to hold a fan the right way." He narrowed his eyes.
Killian jones: He shook his head "I tried! She's useless, I swear."
Aurora: She gave a 'you've got to be kidding' look. "You actually had to have Madam Oswald -teach- you that. And -I'm- the useless one? I can't believe you even survived as me for a single day!"
Killian jones: "I did but I almost killed this madam oswald of yours. I told her to screw off and she locked he in the room."
Aurora: "You told Madam Oswald to 'screw off'?" she burst out laughing. "Oh my gosh. You moron."
Killian jones: He shrugged ''I wasn't in the best mood. Funny, I don't enjoy being told my manners. I'm a pirate, not a bloody royal." He was making a scene again just like always.
Aurora: "You got what you deserved then," she smirked, much like him actually. She still was upset about what he'd said earlier.
Killian jones: "What? Did you think that I had time to learn how to hold a knife properly? No one has time for that except those who have way too much time on their hands."
Aurora: "It's really -not- that time consuming. I've been doing that since she was four! Glad to know how competent the great Captain Hook is!"
Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow "I left home when I was ten. Besides, my mom didn't have the money to teach me. Are you saying that's my fault?"
Aurora: "I'm saying that it shouldn't be too hard of skill for an adult to pick up."
Killian jones: "Where? In a pirate ship?"
Killian jones: "You do know that only rich people know how to do that stuff? I'm not rich so stop pretending that I should know everything that you should, -dearie-" He instantly paled at the last word.
Aurora: "At the freaking palace! You were there for a few days!" she pointed out.
Aurora: "You know you keep getting annoyed at me for not being able to act like you, yet you can't act like me either!"
Killian jones: He still looked shell-shocked for some reason. "Did I ever tell you that your mind forgets better than mine does?" There were a few things that he would never say but he had forgotten...that...he didn't know how he could forget. Dearie. Damn that...Rumpelstiltskin had said that so many times that he'd thought it was etched into his mind and he didn't take this as a good sign. He cleared his throat and added "You're right, I don't act anything like you. I'm not a prissy little b****" he said this in a monotone voice and left promptly.
Aurora: Aurora saw that something was wrong. She guessed her face was more expressive than he was use to. Aurora followed him. "Hook?" she asked tentatively.
Killian jones: He looked back but he didn't look any different than usual again. "What do you want?"
Aurora: "What's wrong? You looked like you'd seen a ghost."
Killian jones: "Of a sort." He agreed "Your mind just forgets things a lot more than I'm used to. I'm 300 years old, Aurora, I'm not used to forgetting the details."
Aurora: "What did you say?" she was starting to put it together.
Killian jones: "You wouldn't understand. It's nothing, really, I promise."
Aurora: "Killian, I know my own expressions. It's not -nothing-. Please, tell me?"
Killian jones: He looked away "There was a man a long time ago." He knew that he hadn't put this in the captain's log. Nor had the previous captain. "He was the dark one which I'm sure if you have any education at all you'll know about." There was a ghost of a smile on his lips but it was destroyed by his next sentence. "He killed her. Milah I mean. Ripped out her heart and crushed it in front of me. And I sounded like him for a minute. It just scared me to think that I'm not better than him is all."
Aurora: Aurora then did something that was so feminine it was just wrong to be done in Killian's body. She hugged him. "That is -not- nothing," she muttered.
Killian jones: "Yes well it's been years. And the fact that I'm telling you is a sign of hormones." He shook his head "Done with being a woman now."
Aurora: It was Aurora's turn to go pale. She pulled back, and completely froze for a minute. Then she burst out laughing. "OH...Oh my-...I just..." she couldn't say anything she was laughing so hard.
Killian jones: He crossed his arms "What, Tam?" He tilted his head in a way that was too masculine to be done in Aurora's body.
Aurora: "I kind of forgot what time it was," she was still trying to catch her breath from laughing so hard. That would have been easier if she could stop giggleing.
Killian jones: He shook his head "I hate being a woman. Trade back?"
Aurora: "For once, I think I'm okay with this. Have fun with my time of the month," she grinned.
Killian jones: He sighed "I'll have a great time. Just brilliant. Wait and see."
Aurora: "Oh trust me, I know how bad it is. It feels like a gnome with a sledge hammer is just attacking your uterus. Not to mention all the mood swings. Oh, and we better make sure to have chocolate."
Killian jones: "Chocolate?" he raised an eyebrow
Aurora: "Trust me, you'll need it. Cravings are horrid, but not the worst. Trust me, this is going to he hell for you. Is it wrong I'm excited for this?"
Killian jones: "It is very wrong." He said, narrowing his eyes, annoyed. "Why the hell do women go through this?"
Aurora: She raised an eyebrow. "You really think we -choose- to go through this?"
Killian jones: "No, but I'm cursing god right now. Not that he's all that great anyway." He'd renounced god a long time ago, but hell...
Aurora: "You might want to rethink that and start praying I don't have a heavy flow this time," she laughed. This was way too entertaining.
Killian jones: He stared at her "Thanks for the information. Never wanted to hear this."
Aurora: She laughed. "I'm guessing you don't want me to tell the crew about this?"
Killian jones: "If you do I'll slit your throat." he said seriously with a snakelike smile.
Aurora: "I won't," she promised. "Just try to not act like a PMSing woman, or it won't matter if I've told them or not."
Killian jones: "I know." He looked like he wanted to say something else but didn't. "We're going to get on the ship soon. When we get there you can change out of that crappy suit."
Aurora: She looked sadly at one of the sleeves. "It was one of Phillip's favorites."
Killian jones: He frowned "Yes and I'll be wearing Milah's clothes. We're even. You can bring it back to him later."
Aurora: "I really hope so. I guess I have this fear of being stuck like this forever," she admited.
Killian jones: "I think both of us have that fear." He seemed more real like this, whatever was going on. He didn't have the energy to try to put up walls "But we've got to fight that and get to the witch."
Aurora: "Definitely. Do you really think she'll help us?"
Killian jones: "For the right price. Cora is tricky."
Aurora: "Come on," she sighed and slipped her fingers through his. "let's just get back to the ship before anyone notices I'm missing. Running off with a pirate won't exactly go over well," she had a small, teasing smile.
Killian jones: He pulled away his hand and crossed his arms with a smirk. "Probably not. I'd have to do something to get out and to hell if I have to
Killian jones: pretend to have manners again."
Killian jones: "Of course your mom was fooled. She called me wise."
Aurora: "My mother tries, she really does, but sometimes I think she doesn't know me at all."
Killian jones: He shrugged "I dunno, but I think she liked me pretty well."
Killian jones: "She has horrible taste."
Aurora: "Hey!" Aurora laughed, "That is my mother your talking about. Besides, you're not -that- bad. Your manners are awful, but you're alright."
Killian jones: He frowned as if he didn't agree. "Let's go before my patience wears out." On the way out, a tall brunette ran up to them "Killian!"
Aurora: "Oh, hello, Ruby," Aurora smiled politely.
Killian jones: "Ooh, Ruby." Said Killian with a

Killian jones: "I have the proper precautions... You don't have to see him you know."

Aurora: Aurora gave her a small smile. "Thank you." It was funny how this sea witch seemed like more of an aunt to her than her real aunt ever had. That pulled at her mind. She killed her own aunt. "Ursula? Could you...see how black...my heart is?" she asked in a small voice.

Killian jones: She raised an eyebrow but nodded "sure..." When she ripped auroras heart out, it seemed to be as red as a strawberry. She wondered what exactly aurora thought would turn your heart black... And then shoved it back in

Aurora: "I-I killed her though. I killed my own aunt. Shouldn't that have done -something- to it?" Aurora gasped in confusion. That had hurt...

Killian jones: "not if you didn't do it out of Ill means. You did it to save killian. To make your heart black you must commit a mortal crime."

Aurora: She was relieved, but confused at the same time. "Then how did his get so dar-No. Never mind. I shouldn't care anyway."

Killian jones: "probably because killian is so obsessed with revenge tht it is his essence. He has done everything in his power to get revenge which can destroy your heart."

Aurora: Aurora stood up smoothly. "Thank you, Ursula. If you don't mind I think I'll turn in early tonight." With a nodd she headed out the door. She had so much to think about. Starting with why Phillip thought she was in love with Killian. He thought it had all been a curse, so logically she couldn't be. But was she? Could she truly be in love with him? She cared deeply for him, that much she was certin of, but was this what being in love felt like? Or was what she had with Phillip what being in love felt like? It would be so much easier if she actually knew what it felt like for certin. It didn't matter either way though. She was engaged to Phillip and she was happy with that. She would never have to see Killian again. That part of her life was over and done with. Aurora had been aimlessly wandering through the corridors when she ran into one of those she had on her mind. "Phillip," she smiled brightly.

Killian jones: "Aurora!" He grinned "hello. Listen, we shouldn't go outside tonight."

Aurora: "Why?" she inqured.

Aurora: (What if they day Hook shows up it's Aurora's wedding day and he ends up finding out even though Ursula tries to prevent that and then we do the rest of our plan?)

Killian jones: (I've got an idea) "well there's a pirate ship on the horizon. We don't know but..."

Aurora: "A pirate ship?" she squeeked. She let fear show through, hoping it was convinceing. Hopeing it wasn't real.

Killian jones: "Yes... And it might be the holy roger"

Aurora: (...Holy Roger? )

Killian jones: (Darn you spell check)

Aurora: "What would the Jolly Roger be doing here?"

Killian jones: "We'll... They are pirates..•

Aurora: "I...I think I'll just hide in my room. I mean after last time...I don't want to be anywhere near that man again."

Killian jones: Phillip nodded and hugged her "we'll deal with it. I promise, you won't have to see him if you don't want to."

Aurora: "I seem to say thank you to you a lot. I guess it's because I have a lot to be thankful for."

Killian jones: but it was about a week later when Ursula called her in. "My dear I have respected your wish not to see him until now but it -is- important."

Aurora: "You expect me to see him the day of my wedding?" Aurora demanded. Apparently her parents had been planing it since before Phillip had even perposed, and had waisted no time as soon as she said yes.

Killian jones: (uh...that's not going to work if we are doing your plan too)

Aurora: (Okay, redo!) "Alright...?" She didn't even know how she felt about this. So many emotions attacking her at once.

Killian jones: once she came up, Ursula looked nervous "it's nothing I've ever seen..."

Aurora: "What happened?" she asked, the bad feeling in her stomach growing.

Killian jones: "I've read of it if course..." She rambled.

Aurora: "Read about -what-?" Aurora was beginning to grow impatient.

Killian jones: She shook her head "come with me." They walked into the room and killian was sitting here but... His eyes were pure black instead of sea blue.

Aurora: Aurora actually jumped back when she saw. "W-what happened?" her voice came out oddly high pitched and strangled.

Killian jones: "that's a good question... Remember when I said when your heart gets completely black you lose who you are?"

Aurora: "Yes. But you said that his heart had been completely black before?"

Aurora: (I JUST FOUND SARAH BOLGER ON FACEBOOK AND I'M REALLY THINKING ABOUT SENDING HER A MESSAGE BUT IDK WHAT TO SAY OH MY GOSH *HYPERVETALATES*)

Killian jones: "it wa completely black, yes, but... Not like this. Of course your heart can be black but there is a point-mind you it's almost impossible to get there-where the heart is so completely devoid of light that is changes everything about the person who owns it..."

Aurora: "But it-but you said it was-it-it was changing back!" she sputtered.

Killian jones: "it was-which is why I am so very interested... I didn't know this was possible... Didn't know demons truly existed."

Aurora: "Demons?!"

Killian jones: "Yes.. When this happens we call the person a demon."

Aurora: "And...how to you change a person back?"

Killian jones: "well I'm not sure that we can..."

Aurora: Tears welled up in her eyes, but she shoved them back. "Then he must have done something truly horrible to cause this, which means he desrves it." She turned and walked out. No. She would not be dragged into it. If he had lost himself it was his problem. They were no longer forcibly joined thanks to body switching.

Killian jones: "wait. I did call you for a reason."

Aurora: Aurora paused, but didn't turn back to look at him. "What?"

Killian jones: "I do plan on helping him. But I need you to figure or how it happened."

Aurora: "How am I supposed to do that? You probably know more about this than I do," she pointed out.

Killian jones: "yes but he knows you. So does this demon. You're the est chance we have of figuring out what happened lest raising Milah from the dead."

Aurora: "I...I don't think that's a good idea." Seeing him alone was already ripping her appart. How could Ursula possibly think she was strong enough to talk to him?

Killian jones: "unless you wish him to stay like this forever, you must..."

Aurora: Taking a deep breath she made her choice. Aurora walked over to him slowly and did her best to see through him instead of actually seeing him. "Killian? Killian Jones? Do you remember me?"

Killian jones: he grinned cruelly "never would forget you, milady."

Aurora: "And why's that?" she raised an eyebrow.

Killian jones: he shrugged "was quite fond of you really. Now-what do you want?"

Aurora: "When did your eyes turn black?"

Aurora: she inquired.

Killian jones: He raised an eyebrow "are they? How interesting. Well they do say the eyes are the window to the soul."

Aurora: "I don't believe that. Why would -your- soul be black?"

Killian jones: "Because I would slit your throat right now if it did me any good. However, it will not. I would crush the life out of your pretty little throat and mutilate every inch of your body." He looke like killian but his movements were snakelike, his words strangely cold.

Aurora: She wanted to recoil. To get as far away from him as possible. But she kept the calm look on her face. "No you wouldn't. I know you. I know you wouldn't."

Killian jones: "but you don't. I would sell your soul for a silver piece. But this is besides the point. I asked you a question. What do you want."

Aurora: "I want to know what happened to first make you believe you would do such horrible things."

Killian jones: he scowled, lookin quite as if he would murder her. "The tale is a bit of a bore, my dear."

Aurora: Aurora remained completely outwardly calm. "Please?"

Killian jones: he didn't soften but said "we were going through one of the Netherlands. Basically, someone owns them and they didn't like us being there. So she told us that in order to gain safe exit from the land, one of us would have to sacrifice their soul."

Aurora: "Why you?"

Killian jones: "it didn't have to be me. I offered."

Aurora: "I know," she gave the ghost of a smile, "I meant why did you offer?"

Killian jones: he scrunched his eyebrows togete and shrugged "I can't remember. Not does it matter."

Killian jones: *nor*

Aurora: "Thank you for telling me." She brushed her lips against his cheek before turning away. It was only then that she let the tears well up in her eyes.

Killian jones: Ursula stared at her "what is it? What happened?"

Aurora: "H-he sacrified his soul."

Killian jones: "I see... We may be able to fix it in that case. A soul is just the lightness in your heart. If we can replace it we may be able to save him. It will not be easy, however."

Aurora: "I can't," the tears had started to fall, "I can't see him again. Ever. I'm sorry but I just can't."

Killian jones: she nodded "I will try my bet to heal him and send him on his way. I do not doubt he will wish to bury your wedding in rum-actually he hasn't drank since he's been here... Curious."

Aurora: Aurora hugged her in thanks. "I'm going to...probably catch up for him. As long as no one comes to vist me in my room I'll be fine."

Killian jones: She nodded and let aurora leave and turned to killian (be Ursula?)

Aurora: (What do you want her to do? 'tis your plan)

Killian jones: (your choice I don't have much plan other than that, but I want to show just how dark he is, not just a slightly confused killian XD)

Aurora: (You're going to regret that)
Killian jones: (i know0
Aurora: Ursula wasn't a hundred percent sure where to begin. She figured that seeing just how dark he was would be a good place to start. Time for experimentation! She congered a fish out of no where and proceeded to beat him with it.
Killian jones: (what the hell) Killian didn't hesitate to pin her on the floor, putting his hands around her neck "And what exactly-the hell-are you doing?" He squeezed her neck further, completely ready to take her life as soon as she answered. No one disrespected the captain.
Aurora: She used magic to shove him off and hold him to the wall. She got up and approached him slowly. "It's called experimenting."
Killian jones: "Experimenting with a fu- with a fish?" he hissed, narrowing his black eyes with annoyance. "That, that is NOT very smart." He seemed to be seething with anger.
Aurora: "It worked," she shrugged.
Killian jones: He narrowed his eyes, baring his teeth. "What? Signing your death warrant?"
Aurora: "Seeing how dark you've become. You really did a good job at loseing yourself. What pushed you to volunteer for that? Must have been pretty bad."
Killian jones: He calmed down slightly but still seemed angry. "I figured if someone had to give up their soul, I'd give her as little light as I could. Just to spite her, and I probably have the darkest soul in my crew."
Aurora: "You remember I told you once that your heart was completely black, correct?"
Killian jones: "Yes." He said, raising an eyebrow "But I believe that it's just a tiny bit darker now."
Aurora: "No. It's much darker. Your heart was turning back."
Killian jones: "Wasn't it already?" he said tiredly.
Aurora: "Turning -back-, not turning black. It was starting to turn red again."
Killian jones: "That's great. And I care why?"
Aurora: "Because that means it's possible to turn it back. Maybe even possible to turn it back from full black."
Killian jones: He narrowed his eyes "And I don't want it to. It's a hell of a lot easier this way. Unless you continue to beat me with a d*** fish..."
Aurora: "Easier?" Ursula raised an eyebrow, "Easier how?"
Killian jones: ''Don't feel anything, you see." He said, looking precarious "And therefore, it's easier. Well-I suppose that's not true, I definitely feel anger at this point."
Killian jones: Ursula and Hook argued for a long time but she had gotten an idea. No matter how difficult it would be to call Aurora, all she needed to do was make him feel something pure-love. And jealously might help him in that department. So after her wedding (yes, cruel) she called Aurora on the phone "Yes, Aurora, you need to come here immediately."
Aurora: Aurora was at the reception smieling and laughing away. For the first time in a long time she was truly happy. "Auntie Mal," she adressed her as to not make anyone wonder, "Where have you disappeared to? I'll be there as soon as I can."
Killian jones: When she got in, she smiled "now I've figured out a way to fix him but you must help me. Then you can go to never seeing him again."
Aurora: Aurora's first instinct was to decline, but she remembered that no matter how bad it was she would go back upstairs right afterwards and could be happy again. What kind of person would she be not to save someone's soul in exchange of avoiding a few minutes of saddness? "Of course," she nodded.
Killian jones: killian sat on the chair, looking perfectly miserable. "Now tell him about your wedding and how happy you are will you?" Killian seemed to darken at even the though.
Aurora: Aurora gave Ursula a confused glance, but did as she was told. "Well...this is so over used, but it's probably been the best day of my life. The way Phillip looked at me as I walked down the isle," she blushed, "I know he loves me. How much he loves me. I feel like I don't deserve it. I must be the luckiest girl in the world to have him. And all the people that came. All my friends and family. It's...it's been just absolutely fantastic!" A huge grin was on her face, her joy shineing through.
Killian jones: He clenched his jaw "that's great. I hope you're happy." Ursula smiled and nodded for her to continue. He hasn't said anything so kind in days.
Aurora: "I am. I really am happy. For the first time in a long time actually. Phillip makes me happy," she admitted. Wither she was admitting it to herself or him she didn't know.
Killian jones: "I see..." He said feebly
Aurora: "I am glad I married him," she finished. Aurora turned to Ursula, "What was the point of this?"
Killian jones: "look at him." Said Ursula
Killian jones: killians eyes were lighter though not the spectacular blue
Aurora: "What about him?" Aurora scrunched her eyebrows as she turned back to him.
Killian jones: "his eyes." Muttered Ursula "love is an act of purity Aurora. And jealousy is merely a reaction."
Aurora: Aurora looked carefully. No longer were his eyes black. -The eyes are the windows to the soul- he had told her. "He...loves me?" she asked in a small voice.
Killian jones: "No." Said killian. "Yes." Said Ursula.
Aurora: Apparently Aurora wanted to continue to make things harder on herself and even more complicated because she walked right up and kissed him hard on the mouth. Her hands came up and rested on the sides of his face, fingers resting in his hair
Killian jones: he froze but began kissing her, his heart feeling lighter and lighter.
Aurora: She didn't pull away for a good few minutes. "I love you, too," she breathed as soon as she had.
Killian jones: killin pulled away and his eyes were definitely as blue as the bluest sky, but he seemed confused. "Where the hell am I..."
Aurora: A huge grin of relief spread across her face. "Killian. You're okay. You're in the palace. Oh thank goodness you're okay."

Killian jones: killian stared at her "I can see that." His hand went to his shirt over his heart.

Aurora: "Your heart...it turned completely black. Do you not remember?"

Killian jones: "go figure. Knew that wasn a ood idea..."

Killian jones: *good*

Aurora: She laughed, but slid her arms around his neck and hugged him. "I was so worried."

Killian jones: "were you now." He seemed distant as if he didn want to touch her.

Aurora: "Of course." Aurora pulled back, confused. "Why?"

Killian jones: "nothing. I should b off now you know."

Aurora: It suddenly hit her what day it was. Her wedding. To Phillip. "Yes. You should." She could feel her heart ripping in two.

Killian jones

He nodded "Yes. I do hope that you enjoy your marriage." He said with difficulty "But since I'm probably not allowed to see it, I'll sail somewhere far, far away."

Aurora: She didn't know when she had started crying, but she was. "I-I don't want you to go though. Damn it! Why does it have to be like this? Why did any of this have to happen? If Maleficent hadn't body switched us then I could have been happy, but now I can't be happy without you."

Killian jones: He narrowed his eyes, his expression softening "And yet you never will be happy unless I leave)

Aurora: It was a cross roads and she knew it. She was greatful she at least knew what her choices were. One was what she had always knew her life would be. One was a complete wild card. Both would bring a different happiness. Here was her choice. "Take me with you," she muttered, "please."

Killian jones: Killian stared at her, his strangely bright eyes looking conflicted "Tell me one thing. Are you as happy as you told me you were."

Aurora: "I was," she admitted, "until I found out you love me back."

Killian jones: "You should know what I did to get like that." He said grimly "You need to know what you're getting into before you do."

Aurora: "Then tell me. What do I need to know?"

Killian jones: "I killed her." He said softly "And I deserved every inch of whatever got me here. All I remember is being so, so cold and I deserve every second."

Aurora: "No you don't. Gosh, no you don't. You're not nearly as bad as you think you are. I've killed my own Aunt. You're not the monster you think you are."

Killian jones: "You killed your aunt for the good of your castle, and for me. That's not darkness. I killed her in cold blood and I wanted to."
Killian Jones: something strange littered behind his blue eyes, like coldness. As if demonity had left a curse on him and wouldn't let go. His smile was just a bit too harsh, like a mock of killian Jones.
Aurora: "No. No, something's still wrong," her voice wavered a bit.
Killian Jones: The iciness in his eyes warmed slightly and his smile softened as if he was trying to fix his mask. "What is it?"
Aurora: "I don't know. You just seemed...demon again there for a moment."
Killian Jones: He shook his head "Sorry, I'm not quite feeling myself yet. I don't suppose that's just a thing that goes away instantaneously."
Aurora: "You're right," she smiled. "We should go now though. I assume the party will keep people distracted for a bit, but sooner or later they're going to notice my absence."
Killian Jones: He frowned "You should go back to the party." He wanted to get away from Killian's true love as quickly as he could. "You are getting married." He made sure to crack his voice as if he was sad at the idea that his "twoo love" was getting married. Humans were so weird.
Aurora: "Technically I already am, but I don't care. I've made my choice. I'm going with you."
Killian Jones: He momentarily thought of snapping her neck and making a run for it, but he could still juice this lemon... "I'm not sure that's the smartest idea." He said, trying his best to cool his temper. Killiian was far from even-tempered, but he'd learned from searching through memories that there were a few mortals that he was soft on and she was one of them. "My heart is still as black as coal, my dear. I could hurt you." Now that was a bit sensitive for the pirate, but he was trying to get her to go the hell away, not think he was the perfect pirate.
Aurora: "You know I don't believe that." She cupped his cheek and brushed her thumb across it.
Killian Jones: He would have liked to slap her stupid face away and tell her to back the hell off, but well-he was being good. Later-well... He looked down as if he were ashamed (ha-yeah no) and said "And yet it's true. I won't let you come with me when you're obviously so infatuated with this Phillip b******." He wasn't sure if Killian would say that or not, but it didn't feel all that wrong. "I mean that you have a life here. I'm not ripping you from that." Well that was a save worthy of hell.
Aurora: "Infatuation is not the same as love. Infatuation dims."
Aurora: Why didn't he want her with him? Had she done something wrong? Did she really want to go with him, or was this just cold feet or something? A war was raging inside of her mind. -No- she told herself -I have made my choice and I am happy with it.-
Killian Jones: He gripped his teeth together. Well, then, she was darned-no he did not think darned- persistent. It didn't take him long to think up a plan and he quickly said "Alright, fine, come with me."
Aurora: She brushed her lips against his and a grin spread across her face. "Of course."
Killian Jones: "You'll owe me of course." He said, too quickly to decide what Killian would have said...whatever. He looked at Ursula with a curling demonic grin but when he looked back at Aurora his expression was soft. Oh yes, he was getting almost too good at this. "Maybe I'll start by killing that upstart prince...'' he accidentally said out loud. Ok maybe not so good at this. Crap.
Aurora: Her eyes widened. What? A horrible horrible thought came to her mind. She really hoped she was right as she used the dagger she had hidden to stab him in the stomach.
Killian Jones: He raised an eyebrow as black blood seeped out of his chest. "Well now, that hurts. You're going to pay for that." He bared his sharp teeth and ripped her off the ground, pulling her close to him so that blood got all over her dress. He began walking to the ship leisurely, as if a stabbing wasn't a problem at all.
Aurora: Aurora was fighting against him with all her strength. She even stabbed him a few more times for good measure. "Let. Me. Go!"
Killian Jones: "I don't think that's smart. Now you're getting blood all over these clothes. You may have an interesting choice in fashion, but for some reason I don't like black sticky stuff all over my clothes." He hissed "Now, you're going to go to the captain's quarters and you're not going to leave or I will make sure that everyone you've ever known dies a horrible death, do you hear me?"
Aurora: "Well you've already taken one person I love," she snarled.
Killian Jones: "Oh him? He's still in here somewhere, I just don't give a f-" He cut himself off "Oh i'm sorry, always a gentleman, right?" He gave a cruel smile.
Aurora: "I will get him back and I will end you if it's the last thing I do."
Killian Jones: He shrugged "Doesn't matter, you know. No matter what you do now, he'll be broken beyond repair. I've had thousands of humans hosts and none of them get through the experience without some serious mental damage."
Aurora: She just smirked. "Those thousands of human hosts haven't had me."
Killian Jones: "No, but they've had far better than a mere princess who can't choose between two men." He glared at her, his blue eyes so strangely cold.
Aurora: "I -did- choose, thank you very much," she glared, arms crossed.
Killian Jones: "And who did you choose? Because you don't have much of a choice at this point. Demon or pussy, your choice."
Aurora: Aurora let her anger over take her for once and punched him hard in the face.
Killian Jones: He grabbed her hand and ripped her behind him "Was that supposed to hurt, love?" He knew that using one of captain hook's pet names would arouse some kind of reaction from her.
Aurora: "Only Killian is allowed to call me love," she growled. No matter how strong she had to be, this was still ripping her up inside, and she hated it. But she would never let him know that.
Killian Jones: He gave her a look as if to say how-freaking-stupid-are-you. "I am Killian Jones. Or as much of him as anyone will ever be."
Aurora: "I was more of Killian Jones when we body switched than you'll ever be."
Killian Jones: He smirked "But I can be whoever you want, you know. I have all of his memories. If you asked nicely."
Aurora: She scoffed. "What makes you think I would ever want -you-."
Killian Jones: "Oh you wouldn't. But you would want him, and he is deep, deep inside."
Killian Jones: he was almost hurt by the remark, but it wasn't him that was hurt, exactly. It was his memories of Milah saying something similar. And the fact that he was now like Rumpelstiltskin-as much as he didn't want to admit it, Killiian had gained somewhat more control from the kiss.
Aurora: "And the only way I'll ever get him back is if I get rid of you, which makes that a necessity." Aurora saw it though. That flash. "On second thought, maybe I do want you."
Killian Jones: He fought for control for a few moments but eventually gained it again. "He doesn't seem to like your earlier comment. Interesting. You do know that he sees you as no more than a replacement?"
Aurora: "Uh-huh, right," she said sarcastically. Aurora stepped closer to him, her lips hovering barely apart from his own. It disgusted her as to that she was like this to a demon, but if she could find any way to get Killian control back she would take it. "Even replacements can be fun," she breathed, eyes half lidded.
Killian Jones: He scaled the hook across her lip, leaving a cut and licked it as if he liked the taste of human blood "I'm not stupid, little dove."
Aurora: She met his mouth with a hard kiss, arms wrapping around his neck and holding him there. She reacted the same way as if it was really him, her body could tell no difference and her mind didn't protest either. It only opened that sore in her heart that was pinning to have the real him back though.
Killian Jones: His fist met her face for the first time, shoving her away from him. "I said" he hissed, his eyes blazing with fire. (the crew were watching, dumfounded) "I'm not stupid. Did you hear me or should I say it again?"
Aurora: "Say it all you like, it doesn't make it true."
Killian Jones: "And I'm immune to your stupid little advances." He put his hook to her cheek and ripped it "And you will do what I say or I'll decorate your pretty little face."
Aurora: She set her jaw and looked him dead in the eye. "Then you will leave. Eventually it'll happen no matter what you do to me."
Killian Jones: "What, you still think I'd love you if you looked like a piece of china?" he frowned "Believe me, I'm far too shallow for that."
Aurora: "Newsflash, I don't want -your- love."
Killian Jones: He looked to the crew as if telling her that they didn't know about all of this and he was trying to fool them so shut the hell up. "Good, because you will never have it." He whispered to her "Either of us."
Aurora: "I already have his," she growled back. She turned away from him and in a louder voice said, "You know I hate it when we fight, Killian. I'll be in the Captain's quarters when you're ready to discuss this."
Killian Jones: He raised an eyebrow "Oh i'm always ready to 'discuss' this." he grinned cruely and glanced at the frozen crew "And WHY exactly aren't you working?'
Killian Jones: Doc stared at Jack, his eyes widening as he worked as quickly as he could "What is happening with the captain..."
Aurora: Aurora made her way to the Captain's quarters hoping to think it all out. Much to her surprise someone was already there.
Killian Jones: Ursula turned to her, narrowing her eyes "He's not Killian is he?"
Aurora: "No idea," Jack replied in a whisper. "He'd never hurt that girl like that, no matter how mad at her he is. You've seen 'em together."
Aurora: "No," Aurora answered, "He's still the demon. Please help me change him back."
Killian Jones: " Apparently he would..." muttered Doc.
Killian Jones: "i've been looking into it and there is a way to fix him..."
Aurora: "How?" Aurora asked without a beat. "Do you have any idea why true love's kiss didn't work?"
Killian Jones: "Because you still love phillip. And the only way to get Hook back is to kill him..."
Aurora: "WHAT?!" Aurora exploded. That...No! That was more than just choosing between two loves, that was choosing between two lives!"
Killian Jones: "It's either Hook or Phillip now. And both will die if you don't still love hook after he kills Phillip."
Aurora: "Elaborate, please?"
Killian Jones: "He must kill phillip, and once he does, half of the darkness will go into you, therefore making Hook lighter than he has been in years. However, if you don't love him after he kills Phillip, all of the darkness will go to you and he will die."
Aurora: "And I'll become a demon. What if he doesn't k-kill Phillip though?"
Killian Jones: "If you don't let hook kill phillip, the demon will eat away at him and kill him."
Aurora: "On to the next victim then I guess. This is horrible," she sighed. Why did she have to be the one to make this choice?
Killian Jones: "It is, but it must be done."
Aurora: "Why though? Why does this have to rest on my shoulders if it has to happen at all?"
Killian Jones: "Because you love them, do you not?"
Aurora: "Yes. I think that's going to be my downfall. I love them both."
Killian Jones: "Yes. But Killian is being eaten from inside out. You need to choose now."
Aurora: Tears were in her eyes. No. No. She couldn't. How could anyone possibly make that choice? She took a deep breath. There was only one way to choose. She told herself it would be the one with less suffering. The quicker one. But honestly, it was the one she wouldn't have to watch. If she sent him after Phillip she would never have to see it. "Killian. I have to save Killian."
Killian Jones: "I know. But you must do it fast. He will already be damaged on the inside..."
Aurora: "Alright," she nodded. Aurora could hear the sound of footsteps coming towards the cabin. "You have to go. Quickly."
Killian Jones: "And that I excell at my dear." She said, snapping her fingers and disappearing in a cloud of purple dust. The demon looked at her, narrowing his eyes "The crew is suspicious. If you hadn't been so..." He clenched his jaw "You know something, my dear?"
Aurora: "What?" she challenged.
Killian Jones: "Your Killian Jones...had quite a temper did he not?"
Aurora: "Yes, I know that, thank you. So?"
Killian Jones: "That was me all this time, creeping into his heart." He grinned "he was never so temperful on his own..."
Aurora: She rolled her eyes. That she would never believe. It just seemed to fit him so well. "Do you have a point?"
Killian Jones: "I mean, that I have a deal for you."
Aurora: She cocked an eyebrow, "Continue."
Killian Jones: "As I have his mind in a headlock at the moment, I will let you have him back for a day if you do one thing for me."
Aurora: Her first instinct was to say 'anything', but she remembered who she was talking to and kept her cool detachment. "What?"
Killian Jones: He grinned, looking much like a snake but said "You do not interfere with my affairs."
Aurora: "No. I'm not a fool. Nor am I so easily bought."
Killian Jones: "I'm not saying
Killian Jones: that you cannot do anything. Merely that in the presence of the crew you do not act any differently than if I were mr. jones..."
Aurora: "No," she glared, "I'm going to continue to make things as hard as I can on you."
Killian Jones: "I see." He said with a smirk. He decided to act like the strange pirate for a moment and said "Not if I do first, love. As it is, you can start now." He wasn't as fine-tuned as Killian, but he wasn't horrible either.
Aurora: Her eyebrows shot up. "Why do I feel like that was a failed attempt at an inuendo
Aurora: ?"
Killian Jones: "Because you're used to your friend Killian and he's had a lot of experience. A -lot- of experience with women I'll have you know. What makes you think you're different?"
Aurora: "Because she is, jackass," Killian commented in what use to be his own head. Aurora sounded almost exactly like him when she snapped, "Because I am."
Killian Jones: His eyebrows raised. he wasn't used to his hosts speaking in his head "That's what she said..." he muttered to the voice "What the hell..." he said, mostly to himself
Aurora: A huge grin spread across her face. "I knew he was in there."
Killian Jones: "Somewhere, but he won't speak again. It must have been a small lapse of control..." He shook his head "He will be supressed soon. I've destroyed mortals much smarter than him."
Aurora: "But you see, you're at a disadvantage. Two against one." She sauntered up and put one hand on the back of his neck, pulling him down to another kiss. Dang this was a fun way to help Killian. Killian grinned in his mind, "That's my girl."
Killian Jones: He kissed her in a deep, animalistic passion. It wasn't like any of killian's kisses. "Well then, I suppose I can do whatever i want with you, then..." If Killian was going to persist in being annoying, he would do the same.
Aurora: "Don't you -dare-," Killian growled.
Killian Jones: He didn't need any more ammunition than his anger in itself. He pressed her against Killian's wall "I dare."
Aurora: Aurora hated that it seemed she couldn't distinguish that it wasn't him when he was kissing her senseless. It felt like him. Like she was sharing this moment with her Killian, not the demon in his place. She reacted immediately pulling him closer and kissing back with just as much fire.
Aurora: "Stop!" Killian commanded, "Don't touch her!"
Killian Jones: "What like this?" he said, snickering "I'm going to destroy every square inch of your body." He whispered "ANd you're going to love it."
Aurora: "Alright. Alright. Please," Aurora panted.
Killian Jones: Killian would have shaken his head, but instead he was filled with inexplicable numbness as if he was fading away. He said one thing before he felt himself melting away and to his surprise it came out of his own mouth. "You don't -touch- her."
Aurora: That snapped her out of it. Reminded her of what she really had to do. She didn't let it show on her face though. "Do whatever you want with me, just please, don't kill Phillip."
Killian Jones: He pulled away from her and slammed her against the bookshelf "You're no fun..." But on the inside a plan was forming...
Aurora: "Don't stop," she breathed. Aurora really hoped that had been acting. She wanted -Killian- to do this to her, -not- the demon. She was just having a difficult time determining the difference at the moment...
Killian Jones: He stepped on her chest and scowled "I have work to do. Stay here or I'll do something far worse."
Aurora: "Like what?" she glared.
Killian Jones: "Kill him. IT doesn't take much."
Aurora: "No! You've already killed one of my loves! You can't have both of them!"
Killian Jones: He raised an eyebrow, confused. He then turned to the crew with a cold expression "We're going back to the castle."
Aurora: The crew didn't even ask questions. Something was wrong and they knew it. They valued their lives after all.
Killian Jones: He stalked to the front of the ship, pulling her behind him. His eyes had returned to the deep black color.
Aurora: The castle was in a panic once they realized Aurora had disappeared, especially with the pirate spotting a few weeks earlier. They could only assume what had happeend.
Killian Jones: There was stacks of rum on the side but killian didn't seem interested in it which was when the crew knew that something was very, very wrong. Doc turned to Jack now "Should we jump overboard now? He's not drinking."
Aurora: "Logically, yes. Are we going to? Probably not," Jack answered.
Killian Jones: He caught glance of Killian for a second and immediately went back to work, but not before seeing his strangely dark eyes. "You srue that's the captain?"
Aurora: "Honestly...I'm not so sure."
Killian Jones: "Eyes are black. They weren't that color before, were they?"
Killian Jones: (i'm sorry i'm imagining jack saying: No they were the dreamiest blue you can imagine...)
Aurora: "No, they were blue. He glares at you enough times and you remember," Jack answered.
Killian Jones: Once they reached the castle Killian jumped off the ship, pulling her with him. Everyone who saw him simply stared at him as if he was the most terrifying thing they'd ever seen.
Aurora: Aurora knew what was coming. Knew she would have to watch. Knew she would have to force herself to still love him afterwards. Phillip jumped up, sword in hand, as soon as Killian entered the main hall of the castle. "You!" he snarled, "I -knew- it was you! First you cruse her and now you steal her again?!"
Killian Jones: He shrugged "Actually, I"m not Killian Jones. Sorry to disappoint. And I don't have any memories in this body of hurting her in any way... " He shrugged "THis time I"m here to kill you."
Aurora: "This body? I don't even want to know. And of course you wouldn't think it was hurting her. You -cursed- her to do whatever you wished!" Phillip protested.
Killian Jones: "I did? I don't remember doing that. Sounds like a great idea, however. I should try that, don't you think Aurora?" he said, jerking her towards him.
Aurora: "No I don't, you f***ing jackass!" she glared. Her hand shot up to cover her mouth when she realized she'd cursed infront of the entire court.
Killian Jones: He bent over laughing and said "oh, oh that's a good one! Killian teach you to curse? Wouldn't have thought that was possible." He smiled and leapt at Phillip, crushing his throat.
Aurora: Phillip lobbed of his other hand with his sword. Only to watch in horror as it grew back. "-You- didn't teach her anything! She doesn't even remember you!"
Killian Jones: "She seemed to remember me earlier.''
Killian Jones: Squeeses throat harder.
Aurora: "Of course not?" Phillip looked between Hook and Aurora in confusion. Aurora shied back a bit without realizing it.
Killian Jones: Killian would have drawn it out, but he was getting bored with this. He quickly twisted his head to the side, letting him fall to the floor. But as soon as he did, he found that there was somthing wrong...
Aurora: "NO!" Aurora cried out even though it had originally been what she had wanted. A black sort of dust swept out of him and flowed on the non existent wind over to her, where it disappeared.
Killian Jones: Killian grasped at his chest, his eyes widening. He leant to Phillip, unable to believe what he'd done...
Aurora: The pain of watching Phillip die dulled tremendously. She was still sad, but it no longer felt as if her heart was being torn to shreds. "Killian?" she approached him cautiously.
Killian Jones: He turned to her, his stance full of reprehension. "I killed him. Da** it Aurora I'm so sorry..."
Aurora: "No. No, it's okay. That's what I wanted."
Killian Jones: "You..." He looked at her, confused.
Aurora: "It was the only way to save you," she explained. Aurora threw her arms around him and pulled him close. "I was so worried."
Killian Jones: He felt less...dark somehow than he had in a long time.. Almost since he'd been in neverland. he was frozen, he couldn't believe he'd killed him...
Killian Jones: Aurora's mother ran down to her and slapped Killian, but then saw his expression. "He will have a trial..."
Aurora: Aurora glared at her mother, more fiercely than she'd ever glared at anyone. "No he will not. We're leaving."
Killian Jones: "He just killed Phillip!" She yelled "And...And..." She saw his broken expression "Tell me what happened-right now."
Aurora: "Well it started a few months ago when we randomly switched bodies and had to go on a long adventure to switch back," Aurora replied in a bored tone. "Long story short I'm leaving to go be a pirate because the man I love is one too."
Killian Jones: Killian stared at Aurora, confused that she was being so cold. "Yes, that." He muttered "Aurora we should go."
Aurora: Aurora smiled at him, she was still her enough to react to him the same. "Of course." With a smile she brushed her lips against his and grabbed his hand.
Killian Jones: He grabbed her hand and they began running towards the ship, but Killian wasn't feeling well and as soon as he boarded the ship he passed out.
Aurora: Aurora ordered two of the men to carry him back to the captain's quarters where she waited for him to awake.
Killian Jones: When he awoke, he looked better. His eyes were a healthy blue and his teeth were normal and flat. "Where the hell...?'
Aurora: "Your ship," she smiled down at him. "How are you feeling?"
Killian Jones: ( i have a lot of ships. Golden hook, Sleeping hook, captain swan...) He nodded "Fine. Better than i have in a long time actually..."
Aurora: (*facepalm*) "Do you remember what happened?"
Killian Jones: "Sadly."
Aurora: "Even when that -thing- was in control?"
Killian Jones: "Especially then." He muttered
Aurora: "I don't blame you, you know? If anything you should blame me."
Killian Jones: "And why exactly would I do that?"
Aurora: "I-I had the choice. I made sure you killed him."
Killian Jones: "That's not your fault. If you had to pick one..."
Aurora: "And I picked you. It's my fault he's dead. Not yours."
Killian Jones: "I wasn't blaming myself. That's not my style."
Aurora: "Good." She leaned down to kiss him with much of the same fire from her kiss with the demon.
Killian Jones: Killian, being killain (though he wasn't feeling much himself) Kissed her as hard as he could, matching her fire. "I like this hello..."
Aurora: She giggled girlishly. "Quite fond of it myself."
Killian Jones: He knew that this wasn't her "Do you know if there's a way to get rid of blackness of the heart?"
Aurora: "Acts of pureness," she answered, remembering from studying them with Ursula.
Killian Jones: "I don't think this is pure." He said, kissing her quickly fo
Aurora: "I really don't care," she grinned. "I'm suddenly glad spontaneous body switching is possible. I wouldn't have known you otherwise."
Killian Jones: "I'm liking your aunt a lot better." He agreed, smiling into the kiss
Aurora: "I'm glad she's dead though."
Killian Jones: "As am I. It is better for everyone."
Aurora: "I love you Killian. I'm completely in love with you," she told him as she looked him right in the eye. Suddenly a force ripped through her chest, a white light coming out for half a second. Phillips death suddenly hurt her a lot more. Everything did. She was no longer numb to most of it.
Killian Jones: He held her tightly and close to him. "As do I. And I always will. I will always love you." And it was true. Even when he seeked out his revenge she would always be with him and it was the best thing in the world.
