The Heart And Soul Of The Sea\\ Thomas Nickerson x reader (discontinued)

The Decision...

Your Mother looked at you with an expression that was mixed with sadness, worry and confusion. "Who gave this to you?" Your Mom asked. "Mr.Owen Chase himself!" You said remembering that moment he gave you the scroll. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" 

"Yes. I really do." You answered. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you go on this journey?" She said concerned. "N-No... what will happen when I'm on sea?" You urged. "You could get stranded and die on an island in the middle of nowhere. You could also run into a storm while sailing. And there are more that you definitely don't want to happen to you." Your Mom looked at you with a concerned frown on her face. "Mom... I really want to do this. I want to see what's out there! (I was gonna put sea because... heck I love puns, but I wouldn't want to ruin the moment...oh wait.... I just did.) I want to explore what other cultures there are!" You exclaimed.

You both stood there...

In silence...

With you waiting for a response for her.

Your Mom then grabs an ink and quill. And sat at the dining table. She seems to be writing something down. It seems to be her signature... Wait... She's letting me go? "Here...But promise me this... you will come back from your voyage." Your Mother then hands you the contract and you take it into your hands. "I'll... I'll try my best to keep that promise. But... I must warn you, there is a chance that I might not come back. Thank you Mom." You thanked her and you hugged her good night and went to sleep.

(Time skip 'til morning)

The next morning you woke up and made you way over to the kitchen from where you smelled the lovely smell of...pancakes!?! (Idk if they had pancakes back then... oh well) you picked up your pace so you could enduldge in those...sweet...fluffy goodness! You could practically feel the drool coming on! (Does that make sense? I don't know) As you got closer and closer towards the kitchen the smell of pancakes grew stronger and stronger until... You reach the kitchen. You rush over to your Mom to greet her. "Morning Mom,"

"Morning sweetie," 

"What's for breakfast? You inquired.

"You know what's for breakfast already, you can probably smell it from your room!" She replied.

"Actually... I did." You chuckled at the comment and sat down to eat your breakfast.

(After breakfast )

You thank your Mom for the delicious pancakes and go to your room to freshen up and change into something nicer due to you meeting the Captain and the crew.

(This dress but your favourite colour.)

Once you were ready, you grabbed your contract,coat and put on your shoes. "Good bye Mom! Just remember I'm not going to sail today, I'm sailing on Wednesday!" You said while rushing over to the docks. "Wait Y/N! I'm coming with you!" Your sister Audrey yelled behind you. You look back at her to see her almost sprinting towards you. "Wow, she must really  want to see those quote, unquote 'dashing men' ." You chuckled at your statement and continued speed walking gaining some looks from a few people.

(Time skip to when you arrive at the docks)

You had finally reached the docks with your sister catching up to you. "Come on Audrey, I wasn't even walking that fast." You jokingly scoffed. "Yes you were! Seriously you need to slow down!" Audrey huffed. "Looks like someone's getting old..." You muttered softly but loud enough for Audrey to hear. 

"Excuse me?" She threatened playfully with a smirk on her face. "You heard what I said," You replied. "Someone's getting old." You challenged. She looks at you with a fake hurt expression plastered on her face. "How dare you!" She said. 

"Now, now ladies. What seems to be the problem here?" Said a familiar voice. You both turn around to see Owen Chase. Your eyes widened and you quickly get your contract out of your secret pocket and gave it to him. "Ah, I see you have things in order miss L/N. Good to have you as part of the crew. Why don't I introduce you to the Crew?"  Owen suggested. You nodded your head agreeing.  "I'll see you back at the house!" Audrey then waved goodbye and walked home.

After a short stroll you arrive to the ship you've always wanted to sail...

"The Essex"

"Well, here she is... "The Essex"." Owen said in awe. You too were in awe, you looked at every inch of the boat. How the wood was structured, you tried looking through the windows but they were dirty and needed cleaning. You could see people loading the ship with supplies such as food, clean water, barrels... Wait... Barrells? 

"Mr. Chase sir?" 

"Yes Y/N?" 

"Why are they loading barrels into the boat? Does it have to do with the journey?" You asked as he helped you onto the boat. "Yes it's does have to do with the journey. In fact it is why we are sailing." Mr. chase answered. "What are they for?" You inquired. 

He pauses for a moment then says. "Whale oil."  He then leads you around the ship showing you what you need to do if something happens. After that explanation he introduces you to the crew. 

"Hello lads! This is our new crew member I mentioned yesterday! Her name is Y/N. Say hello."  

You looked at the crew to spot a familiar face... That's... Thomas. Yeah that's his name!

"Hi Y/N." The crew said like a very bored class in the beginning of the school day. Thomas seemed to have  regonised you this made you happy. He was walking towards you to greet you but soon interrupted by a much older man. "But aren't women bad luck?" 

"The captain and I are going to prove that theory wrong by tagging her along with us, Mr. Joy." Owen defended. Note to self; This man is Mr Joy. 

After you've met everyone Thomas finally had the chance to greet you. "Hi Y/N. I see your joining the journey?" He smiled. "Yeah! It's pretty exciting but also frightening." You smiled back. 

"Yeah. That's understandable, I mean we could either die on this ship or live and come back home." Thomas agreed. After half an hour or so Mr.Chase dismissed everyone to got home, but ... something was bothering you. 

"Mr.Owen Chase,sir?" You called. "Yes Ms L/N?" He answered. 

"I was wondering when the ship was going to sail. I forgot when it will." You said curiously. "It will sail Wednesday next week. Now hurry along now, you don't want to be late for your cerfew." Mr.Chase said. "Alright, thank you Mr. Owen Chase, sir! Have a good night!" You said as you stared walking home. "You too Ms.L/N!" He said. 

(Time skip to when you get home)

Once you got home you did your nightly routine and went to bed.
