STOWAWAY (A Thomas Nickerson X Reader)

2

After completely cleaning the deck and talking about nonsense we sat on the floor exhausted 'Well Thomas I guess we did it' I said laying my head back 'Guess we did' he said with a chuckle. 'Well you're day's been quite exciting, you'll have alot to write to you're mother about' I said with a giggle hoping to get one last he laugh out of the boy. But when I said it...The breeze seamed to stiffen for a moment 'ugh...my mother's buried up in Smith's Hill... there's a Stone for my father too,he was lost at sea before I was born' he said sadly 'Oh Tom I didn't mean...' I started but he cut me off 'No It's alright' He said with a forced smile

I was getting really sleepy really quickly and my eyes were  getting heavy I lightly rested my head on Thomas's shoulder witch I'd never do if I wasn't so tired... he's body instantly stiffened 'well this is you're family now boy...for better or for worse... worse mostly' I said with a slight giggle at the last part.When he didn't respond I felt rather guilty 'I'm sorry Thomas..if I wasn't so tired Id probably not be doing or saying anything I currently am doing or saying' I said yawning and closing my eyes 'it's alright' he said with a laugh and I relaxed. After a long pause he spoke up 'well Miss I think you ought to go to bed' he said and I yawned 'I am In bed....don't you remember...i'm a stowaway' I said in a tired tone 'oh...right' and in that moment I heard heavy footsteps along with a very familiar voice 'Y/N!?' the sound of father's voice made my head jolt away from Thomas's shoulder my eye's opening wide for a split moment, before quickly closing to a slight gap again from the wait on my eyelids being far to great to handle

'Nickerson done already?' Father asked suspiciously 'Aye sir' Thomas said quickly standing up 'have you seen Y/N?' My father asked 'Daddy I'm right here' I said sleepily putting a heavy hand up before pulling myself to my feet 'I talked to the captain and he said that you can sleep in my cabin tonight and we will figure out the rest tomorrow' Father said 'But were will you sleep?' I asked worried 'Well I will be sleeping in Nickelson's bunk tonight' My father said and I saw Thomases face change into confusion 'But... we're will I sleep sir?' Thomas asked 'You shall be sleeping under the moon and starts tonight boy' My father said 'Well that's not fair father... You can sleep in you're bunk's and I will sleep on deck I..' I said to Thomas but father cut me off 'why do you always have the need to go against me girl!' he shouted 'Why do you always have to be so cruel Owen!' I said angrily and instantly regretted opening my mouth 'It is Father to you! Go to bed this instant little girl and don't you EVER talk back to me or raise you're voice at me again... understood?!' he said calmly which was almost scarier than him shouting

I nodded my head and turned back to Thomas mouthing a sorry before walking towards my father's cabin

'Dogwatch! You're gonna learn what it takes to be whalers today,mates' I woke up to the sound of my father's voice echoing threw out the ship 'shit!' I said jumping out of bed 'why am I always late!' I said angrily at myself I quickly got ready and ran to the door 'you led that line wrong, Nickerson....' 'aye sir' Voices grew louder from the other side of the door

I was scared now...what would they say when they saw a girl onboard 'we will stay at this till sundown if we have to....aye,Mr.Joy sir!' voices boomed as someone ran above me 'oh fuck it' I said under my Breath as I walked on deck 'Main topsail leech lines!' I saw father shouting as he stood in the middle of the ship 'Go main topsail leech lines!' Father shouted again now walking around 'Too slow,you damn coofs!' he shouted at a group of guy's running right past me...There was such a fuss nobody even noticed me

'Father?' I said and He turned to look at me 'Y/N' he said coldly in acknowledgment 'Look daddy I'm sorry for ye...' I started but he cut me off 'No time for that now... Listen here mates!' He shouted to the crew 'This is Y/N Anne Chace!' He said and murttering could be heard almost instantly 'She is my daughter who decided it would be a great idea to stowaway on this ship because she wanted to be like her father! She completely disregarded my explicit rules so she will have no special treatment whatsoever!' He shouted but I saw smirks which scared me VERY much 'But....If I see ANYONE touch her! I will make sure you have a permanent bed on the bottom of the ocean! Got it!' he shouted 'Aye,sir!' the crew shouted back 'Now back to work!' He demanded
