Colin O'Donoghue Imagines

IMAGINE: You, Killian's wife, getting captured

| IMAGINE for @Samanthyandrenee26 |

     You walk up behind Killian, your husband, as he steers the Jolly Roger. You put your hands on his shoulders and kiss his cheek. "Hey, I'm going to go for a quick swim." You smile.

      He looks at you, his eyebrows raised. "This late at night?"

      You nod. "It'll be okay. I know how to protect myself."

     He laughs softly and wraps on arm around your waist. He pulls you to his side. "Yes, you do." He sighs before kissing your temple. "Don't be long, love." He whispers.

      You smile. "I won't, I promise." You walk to the edge of the ship and jump over. You sink beneath the black waters. You feel your legs molding together as scales climb up your lower half. Your orangish-red tail appears and it propels you through the ocean. You smile. You're a mermaid—a distant cousin of the siren.

       Killian and you fell in love a couple of years ago. You decided to leave behind your life in the sea and join Killian as a pirate. You couldn't be happier. Killian and you take frequent trips alone without any crew just to have some alone time together. This is one of those times.

     Forty minutes later you swim back to the Jolly Roger. You smile at the rope hanging off the side of the boat. Killian must have put it there so you can climb up the side of the boat. You grab onto it and start to pull yourself up. As you ascend out of the water, your tail slowly disappears.

       As soon as your hand touches the edge of the deck, Killian grabs it and roughly, painfully, hauls you up. "Okay, okay, a little more gentle, Killian." You laugh, looking up at him. Your stomach drops.

      It's not Killian.

     It's Black Beard. He's evilly grinning at you. Killian screams at you through a gag as Black Beard's men hold him, a dagger to his throat. Your breath comes fast.

       "What-what's going on?" You breathe, slowly rising to your feet.

      "Well, well, well...If it isn't Captain Hook's beautiful wife..." Black Beard muses, circling you.

      Your eyes follow him. "What do you want, Black Beard? Money? The Jolly Roger? What?!" You demand.

     He stops in front of you. He leans forward. "How about you? I wonder how many would give their life savings to own a real mermaid?" He purrs, before painfully elbowing you in the stomach. You double over, gasping, tears stinging your eyes. Killian cries out angrily, struggling against the men. Two others of Black Beard's grab your arms.

     "I will never go with you." You hiss angrily to Black Beard.

     He laughs. "But won't you? Won't you if your dear husband's life was on the line?" He asks. You glance at Killian whose eyes are wide. A dagger is pressed dangerously against his throat. Black Beard's eyebrows raise. "What say you, Y/N? Take the easy way out and just come with us, making your husband live? Or refuse to come with us and let your husband die a terrible death right in front of your eyes?" He questions. You look between him and Killian. "Hmm?" Black Beard murmurs. One of his men press the dagger harder against Killian's neck. Killian gasps as a drop of blood runs down his neck. You stare at him, your eyes filling up with tears. Killian slowly shakes his head at you.

        You take a deep breath and look away from him to Black Beard. "I-I will go with you, as long as you promise to leave Killian alone. You just give me your word." You state, your voice shaking.

         Black Beard puts a hand over his heart. "Of course." He says softly. He looks at his men. "Throw him below deck!" He shouts.

      "No!" You scream as his men roughly throw Killian down the stairs. "You promise you'd leave him alone!" You yell at Black Beard angrily.

      He leans down to meet your eyes, smiling. "Darling, just because I said I'd leave him alone, doesn't mean I wouldn't hurt him before we all depart from this ship, thus leaving him alone." He purrs. He cups your chin and you recoil. "And for the record, never trust a pirate's promise. His word means absolutely nothing." He whispers. He turns around to look at his men. "We're taking her back to Queen Anne's Revenge. Let's go."

      You stare at where Killian was thrown down the stairs. "I love you." You whisper as you're dragged away.

———

     "Throw her in the brig!" Black Beard barks out to his men. They drag you below deck and shove you into the nearest cell. They lock the door behind you and leave you alone. You sigh and rest your head on the bar. You quickly pull away.

     "Ew." You frown. It's slimy. You wipe your forehead and cross your arms. You pace the length of the small cell, already getting antsy.

     You know Killian will come for you. He'd do anything for you. He'd die for you, if need be. You hope it never comes to that; but you know he's going to save you.

      "The question is when." You whisper, looking at the stairs that lead to the deck.

———

     "Y/N! Y/N!" You hear someone whispering from your deep sleep. Your eyes fly open with a gasp and you roll over, staring at a figure in the dark. Your eyebrows draw.

      "Who's there?!" You whisper harshly. The figure steps into the dim light and you jump to your feet, relief coursing from your toes to your head. "Killian!" You cry out softly, rushing to the bars. He grabs your hands through the bars. He looks so different—he's in disguise.

      "I'm here, Y/N. I'm here." He whispers, kissing your hands. "I've come to get you out of here." He tells you, holding onto the keys.

      You slowly smile. "How long have I been here for?"

     "Only a day. I took out a small boat from the Jolly Roger and tracked down the Queen Anne's Revenge. We're going to have to make a quick getaway. Most everyone is asleep but I've taken out everyone that was awake." He whispers as he unlocks the cell. He grabs your hand and you both make a run for it.

     Killian and you run to the edge of the Queen Anne's Revenge where Killian said he anchored his small boat. "It's gone!" You exclaim.

      "Missing something, YN and Killian?" Black Beard asks from behind you. Killian and you whirl around.

      Black Beard laughs, his crew next to him. "Did you really think that you could escape without me stopping you?" He cackles.

      "Actually, we did." You reply, before wrapping your arms around Killian and jumping off the Queen Anne's Revenge with me. You both plunge beneath the dark waters. You see Black Beard and his crew looking over the side of the ship, Black Beard yelling at his men. Your tail appears and you quickly move through the water, holding onto Killian tightly.

       Thirty seconds later, you pop your head out of the water, holding Killian up.

       He laughs, breathing hard. "I didn't see that coming."

      "Neither did I." You chuckle. "Black Beard won't be able to track us. Not now that it's so dark. You tell me which direction the Jolly Roger is in and I'll take us there." You smile.

       Killian cups your face. "Did I ever tell you how lucky I am that I married you?"

      "Once or twice." You blush. He kisses you soundly. "Now hold your breath." You whisper to him, before sinking beneath the waves. Killian wraps his arms tightly around you and pulls you close as you swim through the waters to safety.
[THE END] I hope you liked it!
