Pirate Scotland x Reader-Chapter 7
You woke up in the late afternoon, feeling a bit dizzy from the headache and sleeping awkwardly on the bed. You yawned, fixed your hair and headed out to see what was going on the deck. A few of the men waved to you, some snickering and whispering about what you did, and others ignored you. You rolled your eyes at them and started to look for Ross or the captain and found no sign of them. When you stopped looking, you noticed the Cheshire wasn't out at sea but, instead, docked at a large busy port. Curiously, you leaned on the railing to get a better look.

It was busy with merchants, sailors, and all sorts of people selling and buying. It made you frown because it reminded you of home.I wonder what is going on over there…and what I'll be doing if I wasn't here…, you thought, staring down at your feet. "Oh! There ya' are, lass! I was lookin' for ya'!" Ross's voice snapped you out of your thinking and made you look up at the man walking to you.

"Sorry, I fell asleep and was looking at where we are." You replied, wiping your eyes and stifling a yawn.Ross chuckled, "Well that's fine but now it's time t' leave the ship and go catch up t' the cap'n."

You raised an eyebrow."Where is he?"

"Went ahead t' meet up with a friend of 'is and 'e told me t' get ya when ya woke up." You blinked and rubbed your eyes. "Alright, I'm awake now and ready to get off this bloody ship." Ross nodded and started to walk down the plank to the bridge and you quickly followed behind. "Keep close now! Don't want ya' getting into any trouble with some of these dogs around 'ere or run into the queen's mutts." Ross called back to you but didn't slow down his walking. You did your best to keep close and keep your eyes off the people watching you two. Eventually, you both made it to a large tavern brightly lit up and loud with music and talking.

"Cap'n's waitin' for us, best not t' keep 'im waitin' any longer." Ross gently pushed you in first and followed behind. Expecting it to be dark and dirty, it was a fairly clean place and was much bigger inside then it looked. You spotted the red headed man at a table near the bar with a group of others, talking, smoking his cigar, and enjoying a large pit of ale.

"There's she is! This lass has been giving me a 'ard time for two weeks now and still won't quite!" Everyone at the table laughed and you shot a glare at Allistor. "Easy, lass, I'm only teasing ya'. Come meet an old friend of mine." You sat across from him and looked at the unfamiliar man next to Allistor. "___, this is Rob Thompson. We been friend since we were kids and now 'e owns this tavern and doing good, even got 'imself a wife!" You smiled awkwardly and shook hands with the black haired man. "Nice to meet you, Miss ___, Al here says you're giving him a hard time, is that true?"

"Ofcourse it is. I don't need to be bothered by some Scottish dunce who smokes his cigars like he's a big boss. He's nothing but a problem." You said, folding your arms. The whole table laughed but the captain just rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "Heh, well don't let it bother you too much, love. Allistor has always been a stubborn ass, just like me, but I was the smart one and look at me now. I got myself this tavern, a good lookin' wife, and a kid on the way." You started to like Rob now; he was much different than the captain or his first mate.

Allistor then spoke up, "That's only because ya' took the easy way out, Rob. I took the way that got me a good ship and a crew. And this…" He pulled out the folded map he took from you and waved it in front of Rob. Rob's eyes flickered with interest, and then he lowered his voice. "I suggest we should discuss these matters in a more private area. Follow me." He got up and headed upstairs, the captain and Ross quickly following behind. You were about to follow them but was pulled back. You were about to protest when you saw it was a tall woman, with dark brown hair and bright green eyes, smiling at you.

"Sorry, dear, for that. I'm Rob's wife, Anna Thompson, and I just thought instead of hearing some boring old things those men have to say, you'll want warm bath instead."

The thought of a nice warm bath and not smelling like a pirate did sound good. "If it's not too much trouble…"

Anna waved it off, "Oh no! It's quite alright. Besides, I figured you'll want some female company after being with those scruffy men all that time."

You smiled and nodded and she took you by the hand and pulled you upstairs and to her own room. Then an elderly woman, named Betty, came and helped Anna prepare hot water for you and told you to strip. You did without hesitation and slipped into the large tub, instantly relaxing in the hot water. "Much need bath, huh?" Anna replied, coming back with some clothes. You nodded, scrubbing your arms, "Very..." She chuckled and placed the clothes on the dresser and sat near you.

"Your other clothes will be cleaned by the morning so I gave you some of my old ones for you to wear tonight."

"Thank you, Mrs. Thompson."

Anna smiled,"Please, call me Anna, Mrs. Thompson makes me feel old like Betty."You both laughed."I don't know how I can ever repay you Anna... You really didn't have to d this for me."Anna shrugged,"Allistor is a good friend and I figured his friend's should feel just as welcomed as he does when they come here."You started to scrub your hair,"That's very nice of you but I'm no friend of his.I'm only with him because he promised to help me find my brother."Anna tipped her head to the side and raised and eyebrow out of curiosity,"Oh forgive then for asking,what happen to your brother?"So you told her your story as you finished your bath and dressed in cleaner clothes similar to your previous ones but smaller and more fitting.Anna then spoke when you finished,"Christopher ___ is your brother?"You nodded."Yes.You know him?"Anna nodded,"Yes.he came here awhile ago, about a month a go or so,looking roughed up but asking for more information about a pirate named Evans and seeing if anyone will help him find the man."

It took everything you had to control yourself from jumping and hugging Anna to death for the news.Christopher! So he is alive!,"What happen to him?"Anna then frowned,"Rob thought he was bloody crazy and told him to shut up if he knew what's good for him. Then he was kicked out and that was the last time we saw him."You sighed and leaned on the wall near the door."I'm so close to finding him and but he's still so faraway from me..."Anna quickly apologized but you smiled and thanked her for the information, and then you headed out to find Allistor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm telling you,Al,that treasure is dangerous.Even Evans is looking for that, and you know he'll destroy any man or ship that gets in his way to it.You're bloody crazy for trying to go after it yourself." Rob said,sitting at his desk,looking at the map.Allistor grabbed the map and waved it in his friend's face."Ya' know I'm always up for the challenge,Rob.I'll take my chances with this."

Rob sighed,"It's madness,Allistor.Stick your promise you made to the lass and keep it safe for once in your bloody life.Think about your crew and your life here!"Rob was doing his best to convince his hard headed friend, but nothing seem to work. The Scotsman was determined."Cap'n,Miss __'s brother is probably on Evans' ship, you know she's going to come with us when we sail again."The captain ran a hand through his hair and sighed,"Ross, don't be gettin' soft on me now."Ross shook his head,"Of course not,cap'n.I just agree with Rob,that ya should reconsi-"

"We're going t' find this treasure and if ya' think we can't hold up,go hire more men for the ship.Got it,Mr.Ross?"

Without any argument,Ross nodded."Aye,cap'n."

"Good,then.Glad we 'ave an understandin' 'ere."Allistor took another puff of his cigar and headed for the door.Rob got up from his chair,"Another thing,Al,I suggest you leave as soon as possible.The navy has been sniffing around a lot around here lately and you being on their top wanted listed,should be more aware of that.Leave first thing in the morning."Allistor nodded,"Aye.I will."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You saw Allistor heading your way,with Ross and Rob following behind.Rob waved to you with a smile."I see my wife found you,Miss ___."You smiled back,"Yep, she was really nice to talk to and gave me some better clothes to wear."Rob chuckled,"I guess you reminded her of herself.Anna was a wild spirit till i caught her and made her my wife!"He chuckled and Anna came up behind you and rolled her eyes,"Oh I'm still a wild spirit,darling.Let me go grab that pistol of yours and I'll show you how wild I can get!"Ross and Allistor started laughing at Rob and the man just rolled his eyes and went to hug his wife.Seeing them together made you smile,They make such a cute little couple,you thought.Allistor leaned an arm on your shoulder,slightly using you as a little leaning pole.

"Stop spacing out there,lass.I can't 'ave ya' doin' that when there's thing t' do."You shrugged him off and folded your arms."I'm just admiring Rob and Anna,that's all.Besides, they've been treating me better then you have and I've only been here for a few hours!"Allistor popped you in the head again, but this time a bit more playfully."Oh shut yer trap,lass.I don't need ya' makin' a fool of me."You grumbled then yawned.Anna took you by the hand and pulled you away from Allistor."Come on,__,I'll get you something to eat and then you can sleep in the guest room

"Sleep and food sounds good..."You said yawning again,then looking up at Al."What about you?"Allistor smiled,"I'll be alright,lass.Make you sleep good t'night,we're leaving early t'morrow."You nodded tiredly then followed Anna back downstairs,happy that you got new information about Christopher and relaxed from the bath.
