Marthe Woertman Imagines

Pirates

I was just swimming looking at the beautiful ocean with all the fascinating creatures when suddenly everything was covered with a dark shadow. Next thing I knew something hard hit my head, before I passed out I noticed I was being pulled up by a net. When I awoke I was in my human form and my hands were tied together and connected to a rope that was tied to the pillar. I'm guessing I was still in my mermaid form when they captured me and threw me here since my legs weren't tied. I could tell I was in a boat because of how rocky it was and I could somewhat hear the waves near by. Before I can even think of a way to escape another boat collides with this one and I almost fall over. I'm usually mostly in my mermaid form so I'm not the most steady with my legs but I can manage to a certain amount. I had no idea who was in that other boat but judging by my situation I doubt it was good at all. I slowly stand and balance myself and start trying to free myself from the ropes. But before I could even get any headway someone comes down the stairs from upstairs to the basement of the ship. I turn and look at the person full of fear of what was going to happen to me. But instead of coming further towards me she shouts up to I'm guessing the guy who kidnaped me, "Why the hell do you have a girl down here?!" I then hear him about down "What do you mean?! I caught a mermaid!" The woman frowns then looks back at me with a confused look. She then sighs and walks towards me which just makes me walk further and further back till I'm met with the pillar. She then crouches down and grabs the rope connecting me to the pillar, she takes out a knife which makes me flinch thinking she was going to hurt me but instead she cuts the rope. I let my guard down thinking I was gonna be set free but instead she pulls on the rope and leads me up the stairs to the main deck. I stumble after her still not the best at walking. "Hey what the heck are you doing!" The guy who captured me shouts seeing her dragging me with her. "You said you had a mermaid. You kidnapped a human girl, dumbass." She retorted. "I could have sworn she had a tail and everything!" He shouted back. "Whatever, I'm taking her." She states dragging me to her ship. The guy couldn't really do anything as he was being held back by her henchmen. As I was being pulled I looked around to see the sky and the ocean that surrounds us, oh how I wish to be in the water again. But sadly soon after I was pulled to another basement just in a different ship. I didn't even bother to struggle scared they would just kill me. I was expecting to be thrown on the floor or down the basement but instead she gently tugged me into the basement, closed the door and cut me free. I looked up at her in shock not expecting it at all. But I was still cautious, for a long time pirates would sail the seas to find a mermaid and take them but no one knew where they went or what the pirates did to them. In my lifetime I haven't needed to worry about any of this because it hadn't happened in decades, but here I am. I look at her blankly scared to even speak. "What's your name?" She asks. I keep my mouth shut scared. "Ok..where do you live?" I still refuse to talk not wanting to tell her anything. I would say I wouldn't want to disclose where my family and the rest of the mermaids live but truthfully I lived alone for as long as I could remember. I have no idea where the others are and I have never bothered to find them. She then sits down on the floor near the door and just looks at me. Eventually I sit down to but across from her. "Look I'm not going to hurt you, to be honest I've always been curious about mermaids and wanted to learn about them, never to hurt them." She confesses. This shocked me never expecting such a strong exterior to have such a soft heart. "Sorry I had to drag you over with the rope. I had to make it look like I was gonna be mean to you to that dumbass so I could take you. I have no intentions to hurt or force you to do anything you don't want to. I'll even let you go if you want." She further explains. "What's your name?" I ask with a small voice. Her face turns to one of wonder and surprise hearing me speak finally. "It's Marth. What's yours?" She responds in a more excited tone. "Mines Y/N. Um do you have like a tub of water?" I ask timidly. I was starting to feel really dry and tired having been in my human form longer than I usually am. "Oh yea I do just follow me." She says holding out her hand for me to take. I was still scared but took her hand anyway. It felt so warm and comforting..I've never really experienced skin to skin contact with anyone before. She led me up to a room which I assume is hers and leads me to a bathroom. I look around in awe at how much this looked so different from the rest of the ship. Marth then let's go of my hand and goes into another room. I stood still not sure what I was suppose to do when I heard water. I then quickly follow her and see a tub of water getting filled up. I was facing Marth's back and only now I started to look at her and observe. She seems to have a more casual simple outfit then most pirates I've seen in some old caves I've found in the ocean. And her hair looked more fluffy and not a mess. When the tub was filled Marth turns to see me just standing there looking at her. I quickly look away embarrassed. "Well here you go." Marth says and was about to walk out but I grabbed the back of her shirt before she could. She stopped abruptly and looked back at me with a questioning look. "S..stay." I mumbled out wanting to let her see me transform back into my mermaid form. I notice her cheeks get a tinge of pink. She then grabs a near by chair and sits covering her eyes for some reason. I give a questioning looks and gently remove her hand. She gives me a questioning look but I just slowly get into the tub. And in just a few seconds my legs turn back into my tail and instantly I feel refreshed. I then look back at Marth who has her mouth open in shock and eyes wide. She then comes up to the tub staring at my tail. "Can I..can I touch it?" She asks. I nod yes and she touches it. And all I could do was wonder if this is actually safe but also how appreciated she made me feel.
