Life on the cut (JJxReader) OuterBanks Fanfic

The First Stage.

(A/N: Ignore the fact that Kie isn't actually where she is in the banner lmao)

Rafe's voice bellowed from the navigation room, deterring any nearby sailors. "She is NEVER going to be on our side Rose! Never! She is HELLBENT on taking EVERYTHING from me! Everything I deserve!" He slammed his fist down on the table with such force that it leapt into the air, as if in pain. 
"Rafe." Rose said warningly, trying to calm him. "She's somewhere on this ship. Sarah hasn't taken her yet, okay?"
Rafe breathed in sharply through his teeth, clenching his fists with anger. His fingernails leaving deep, crescent shaped marks in his rough palms. He hissed out some incoherent mumbling, whatever he was trying to say it evidently made him furious. After a deep breath in and out, her said, "Sarah thinks she's a pogue now. She's trying to get Y/N to become one again too. Just because Sarah's fucking transformation is complete she thinks everyone else's should be too! As long as she knows where we are, me and Y/N will never be safe. Let alone the whole family! No... When you think logically about what we'd need to do to contain Sarah-"
He was cut off by the radio going off. It was Eberhimi. He said, "Attention, all passengers and crew. Report to the tween forward hull."

As soon as Pope's finger had left the button that turned on the mic, Cleo hit him in the side, holding a knife to his throat. "It's an order."
"Order them!" Pope commanded. He held the button down again. (Eberhimi was unable to, due to his restraints.)
"Attention, all passengers. All crew. Report to the tween forward hull. That's an order. Repeat, all hands and all passengers report to the tween forward hull immediately."
The venture sprung to life with activity, every single person on that boat was rushing for the hull. Every single person, apart from the pogues. 

Ears pressed to the containers walls, the pogues listened intently for the sign that they could leave their hot metal box. 
"They took the bridge!" John B grinned.
JJ grinned over at him, "That's our boy."
"We knew he'd do it." Y/N said, jumping up. She went for the hatch and pulled the grate off in one swift movement.
"All right, split up." JJ told them all. "Once they're in the hull, Kie and I will lock them inside."
"Go with Y/N." Kie said suddenly.
JJ was feeling too awkward to pair himself with Y/N, but was grateful that someone else did. He nodded to Kie, as if saying thanks.
Y/N glared over at him. He'd called her a whore for trying to save her skin. She was still mad.
"I'll find Sarah and bring her to the lifeboats." John B told them all.
"Bring our girl back JB." Y/N said, nodding to him.
He grinned at her, "You know I will."
"I'll find Pope and Cleo, to go load the cross up and get the hell out of here." Kie finished.
"Okay." JJ nodded, "Let's roll."
He slid out of the container first, glancing around to make sure the coast was clear. All the workers were now inside, confused but obeying their orders none the less. 
Y/N scoffed but followed him. The wind brushing her skin felt good after sitting in that box for so long. She ducked down behind some barrels and JJ copied her. John B slid out next, ducking down with the other two. Kie was the next to wriggle through the gap, landing with a thud.
"Let's go." Y/N whispered, running around the back of the container and towards the entrance. Kie went up to the bridge sneakily, while John B went to search for Sarah.

JJ and Y/N went towards the hull entrance, rushing to avoid meeting any sailors entering. They bolted over the balconies along the walls of a large storage room, lit up with red flashing lights. The two of them went past the door that lead to the hull, and followed the balcony of sorts through a doorway adjacent. This gave Y/N (Who was on the right side of the doorway) a clear view of people entering the hull, as the wall ended on the right side. Y/N looked over the balconies chain and down upon the cargo below them. Her eyes were then drawn upwards as more sailors entered. She ducked around the wall. (A/N: I hope you've seen this episode bc i have NO IDEA how to explain this room.)
"Hey." Said one sailor as he walked into the walkway, "What's all this about?"
"This doesn't have anything to do with the stowaway does it?" Asked another as he entered behind him.
"Guess we'll find out." Said one more, ducking through the doorway.
"Psst." JJ hissed over at Y/N. "How many."
Y/N held up three fingers, not looking over at him.
"It's got something to do with that cross." Said a sailor, "I'm telling you it's cursed. We're making god angry."
They went into the hull and disappeared from sight. JJ was counting who had entered on his fingers, and he was currently on eight. 
"Where's cap? Didn't he call us down here?" They heard someone ask.
"Yeah."
"What's going on?"
"Waiting for captain."
"He's supposed to be down here."
Y/N was looking over at the entrance to the second hull, while JJ stared at the back of her neck. 
"Where are we going and where's dad?" Said a girl. It was Wheezie...
Rose was behind her, sighing. "I don't know Wheezie."
Then Y/N heard a man behind them whisper, "Y/N better be in here.." 
Rafe was there. JJ narrowed his eyes and felt his body temperature rise. The man that Y/N kissed was looking for her. But... here she was. With him. JJ smiled slightly, feeling smug. There was a sailor in front of them too, so Y/N put up four fingers towards JJ. JJ took a deep breath and added them to the total he was counting on his fingers. Reminding himself that Y/N kissed him for a good reason. Even thinking about it made his stomach churn, but he still loved this girl deeply. He'd just forgotten to tell her... Or he might lose her. Y/N peered through the doorway at Rafe entering the room. JJ's spine shivered... looking over as well.
Rafe stopped. He looked over at the doorway, and the two of them jumped back against the walls. He stared over at the doorway, glaring. Then stepped towards them.
"What's happening?" Wheezie asked from the hull. "Where's Rafe?"
Y/N covered her mouth with her hands in order not to shout, panicking heavily. 
They then heard a loud thud.
Y/N slowly peered around the corner, Rafe was gone? Her eyes fell upon an open hatch nearby, but she dismissed it. Breathing a deep sigh of relief. Assuming that Rafe was now in the other room.

Rafe had leapt down a hatch and into the hull, looking around. There was a huge, black tarp covering the cargo in the second room. Concealing it from the balcony above. He felt relieved at this as he walked towards a large crate. Holding the cross he fought so desperately to steal. A tiny bit of gold was shining from under the blankets, Rafe yanked them back to check on the cross. The gold seemed to give off it's own light as it sat, dormant in the crate. He suddenly heard a loud clank from behind him, and hurried to cover it back up again. He ducked down behind the box like a panther protecting it's young. If this was all a ruse to steal the cross, he would make sure that thief would perish.
