Sail Away With Me Chapter 7

A/N: Hello all. Sorry for the longish wait for this chapter. I've had a lot going on and went through a major crisis in these past few weeks so I took a bit of a break. I'm back now and feeling much better so this is the first in a lot more chapters of this story and all my other stories will be updated as well. I love all your little notes and feedback. Please let me know what you think. No flames though please. Thank you.-MoonlitShadow

As soon as the flashback went away, Sailor groggily opened her eyes and let out a loud groan.

Her head was pounding and she tried to lift her hand to her head to try to make it stop but found that she didn't have the strength to move at all.

Her blue eyes were blurry and it took a few seconds for them to focus and clear again.

When she got a good look at where she was, she realized she didn't recognize where she was making her feel a bit of nervousness at being in a new place.

Especially after the flashback that she had about her brother and Gally.

Now come to think of it, the flashback was almost completely gone and she found herself forgetting most of the details within minutes.

She let out another groan and then a wince when she shook her head lightly trying to clear the pain out of it.

She looked around the room and saw that she was lying in a single bed in a small room with wooden panel walls much like the ones in Gally's room and she spotted several pieces of medical equipment and a cupboard full of supplies on the far side of the wall.

It made her brows scrunch up in confusion but was soon forgotten when she let out a yelp and jumped slightly at the sound of a door bursting open somewhere in the room.

It was then that her brother came into her line of sight and she winced again making his brows furrow in concern.

"You alright, love? You scared the bloody hell out of all of us, ya know. Next time give some warning before bloody fainting on us."

He said with a small upturn of his lips that formed the slightly cocky smile that she knew she had seen a million times before over the years.

She ended up rolling her eyes and pushed down onto the bed with her hands and found that she finally could lift herself into a sitting position.

Newt's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before he carefully schooled his expression again.

He wasn't sure what she remembered and he had seen other Glader faint just like she had before.

Often times they got back several memories from the time before they went into the Glade.

It was rare.

But it did happen every once and a while.

The moment he had seen his sister come out of the box was the first time he had ever received any memories of his previous life himself.

Needless to say, it had shocked the hell out of him when he saw his sister for the first time in years.

She looked almost exactly as she did the last time he had seen her.

He wasn't sure where they were or what they were doing the last time he had seen her but he knew for a fact that she looked just as she did now.

It was older brother intuition he supposed.

He watched as she struggled to sit up, and his hands instantly reached out for her and grabbed onto her own so he could lift and steady her so she could sit comfortably on her own.

He felt her tense at the feeling of him holding onto her and she stared into his eyes with a dazed and slightly awed expression as he stared down at her with a look much of the same.

It took several minutes before he forced himself to let go of her and allow his sister to sit by herself in front of him.

His big brother instincts had kicked in instantly and he found himself needing to protect her at all costs.

He knew he would do anything for his baby sister and hoped that she knew how much he adored her.

It was a few more minutes before either of them got the courage to say anything.

But it was Sailor who spoke first, she let out a cough and then her voice shook as it came out dry and gravelly.

"I saw you. And Gally. We knew each other before this. You're my brother."

She said weakly as he nodded along with her words confirming his own suspicions.

So she did have a flashback. He knew that she must be having trouble processing everything that she saw and reached out again to gently take her small hand in his larger, much more calloused one.

"I thought you might have been having one of those. It's rare, but it sometimes happens to one of us here in the Glade.

Something will happen where we go unconscious and then we tend to get bits and pieces back of our memories before

being in this….place."

He said gently as she continued to stare up at him with wide eyes.

"You remember me?"

She croaked out making his heart shudder at the pained sound.

"Yes, love. I do. You're my baby sister. And I know for a fact that I've missed you terribly."

He said as his own voice began to shake with emotion.

He could feel his eyes watering as he watched her eyes flit over him with an unwavering gaze.

"Does Gally remember?"

She asked which made him pause and look away for a moment before he shrugged as an answer.

"I think so. He remembered you, that's for sure.

It was as clear as anything when you came out of the bloody box that both of us remembered you. I kept it to myself but he apparently couldn't.

He always has struggled with showing his emotions. I don't know how much he remembers of anything else though.

I'm sure you're both pretty much like the rest of us. We gain the memories only for a few moments and then they tend to

fade with time. If he does remember something, he's been keeping it a secret for an awfully long time."

He said as he gauged her reaction.

It was then that he confirmed what he already knew.

She had been sent down there with memories of her own still intact.

The way her eyes lit up in recognition made him feel slightly suspicious of his younger sister's knowledge of the outside world.

"He can't have remembered. Thomas told me you and him and everyone else never would."

She said in a matter of fact tone surprising the hell out of him.

So she remembered much more than he originally thought she did.

He knew that it was time to level the playing field.

"So you knew who we were coming down into this place. Why didn't you say anything when you had just gotten here?"

He asked as his eyes narrowed down at her slightly.

Sailor rolled her eyes and scoffed at him before crossing her arms over her chest in a defensive positon.

"I didn't remember you or anyone else. I just remembered that Gally and I are married. And the flashback confirmed what I already knew.

Gally and I got married and you sure as hell didn't like it or want it to happen."

She said as her eyes searched his own for any sign of compromise.

Now it was Newt's turn to scoff as he quickly raised himself to his feet and began to pace the length of the room while waving his hands in large gesturing motions as his voice raised with his building level of frustration.

"Oh so that was Tom's plan, eh? Send you in here bloody remembering your husband and not your own damn brother?

Bet he's all cheery about that, ya? Tell me, how is old Tommy boy?

Did he let you remember anything else? Oh let's say, about how he was the one who broke your heart in the first bloody place and suggested to Ava that you marry her own bloody son for the sake of continuing the human population?

Or did he let you remember that it was me who begged dear old Ava herself to let you be placed here in the Glade with Gally and I so at least I could see you and be with you even though I thought you'd never bloody remember me?"

Newt said as he now shouted at his younger sister who looked slightly shocked at his words.

No, she hadn't remembered that.

Not all of it anyways.

Apparently Tom was rather sneaky in what details he left out.

She found herself shrugging to her brother's grief anyways making him look like steam would billow out of his ears at any second.

"It doesn't matter what I remember. Or what happened. I'm here now. I'm married to Gally. And you're just going to have to bloody deal with it."

She said surprising herself with her uncharacteristic use of the British curse word.

It felt foreign on her tongue and she knew for a fact that it was the last straw to break her brother's brooding silence.

"Don't you dare try and act like dad.

You were never born with the bloody accent like I was because you and mum had different genes.

They were all but overjoyed when they discovered yours had disappeared.

While mine was a constant source of memories and nightmares of a home that didn't exist any longer."

He said in a deadly calm voice.

His words dripped with a venom that shocked her to the core.

She blinked several times before she opened her mouth to respond.

But she never got the chance to as Gally and several other boys stormed into the room.

Gally quickly surveyed the scene in front of him and immediately made a beeline for her and blocked her from the wrath of her brother who was fuming like an insane animal.

"What the fuck is going on in here?"

One of the boys said loudly gaining neither her or her brother's attention making the other boys in the room shake their heads in amusement.

"I said, what the fuck is going on in here?"

The boy said again but this time a lot louder finally making both Newt and she glance over at him with matching fire in their eyes.

"Shove the fuck off, Clint. It's none of your bloody business."

Newt growled making the boy named Clint and another boy behind him quirk questioning eyebrows in his direction.

Gally's eyes were set firmly on her smaller figure and he scanned all over her body trying to find some hint of something wrong with her.

He let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw that nothing was wrong that he could tell.

He then brought his eyes to her face as they traced the gentle features of the girl who had quickly captured his heart here in the Glade.

He smirked crookedly when he saw that she had the same fiery gaze as her brother who was now looking like he was going to beat the shit out of the med jacks.

He chuckled when he saw that Clint and Jeff were looking disapprovingly at the fired up second in command before their ever so patient leader Alby stepped forward to diffuse whatever situation was about to happen.

"That's enough. Newt, slim it nice and calm.

Sailor, I'm guessing you feel better by the looks of you. Although I'd like Clint and Jeff to check you out just in case we've missed something, alright?

Gally, you just…do whatever it is you do to uh…help things along.

Newt, you and I are going to take a walk and leave the rest of them alone. Now."

He said as Newt looked like he was going to argue but was immediately shut down by the older boy.

Newt's shoulders heaved up and down as his breath came out ragged.

He wanted to see what else his sister knew but he knew better than to argue with the oldest member of the Glade.

Alby was his superior in every sense of the word and to defy him would be breaking the laws of the Glade.

It was silent for a few moments and no one moved until he nodded slowly and made to follow Alby out the door.

Alby nodded at him and the others with a pleased smile before exiting the room himself leaving Gally and Sailor alone with Clint and the other boy.

"Alright, Sailor let's take a look at you. By the looks of it though I think you're feeling just fine."

Clint said with an amused smirk as he approached the younger girl and Gally who sat protectively next to her.

Clint reached out towards Sailor and Gally tensed making Clint stop and look over at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Easy there, Captain. I'm not gonna hurt her. You know that I would never hurt someone intentionally."

Clint reassured him calmly making the Builder only slightly relax as Clint checked his girlfriend's pulse and breathing.

Clint studied her eyes for a moment before moving back and giving them a nod of approval.

"Yup, you seem to be just fine. Just like the others when they come out of it. Just take it easy the rest of the day. No working for right now. Gally can take you to the kitchen to get you something to eat.

You were out way past lunchtime. I'm sure you've got to be starving."

He said as he looked over at Gally who nodded in agreement.

Sailor huffed in annoyance before sighing heavily at the looks both Gally and Clint and the other boy that she now remembered as Jeff were giving her.

"Alright. Fine. I'll go get some food. But this isn't over."

She said with a hint of warning in her tone making Clint and Jeff shake their heads while Gally smiled proudly and chuckled.

"Of course it isn't. There won't be a moments peace here in the Glade ever again seeing as how both you and your brother are here now."

Clint said with a small sigh before his lips upturned into a smirk.

Sailor narrowed her eyes at him making him hold up his hands in mock surrender before she huffed again and turned to look up at her husband who had yet to say a word.

As soon as Clint and Jeff left the room, Gally wrapped his arms around her gently and rested his head on top of her own smaller one.

"I'm glad to see you're alright. I bet it was a bloody surprise finding out that Newt was your brother."

He chuckled in her ear making her eyes squeeze shut tightly in a pained expression.

So he didn't remember as much as her and her brother did.

Damn Tom and his sneaky ways.

She thought as she gently pulled back so she could look up into his magnificent face.

She reached up and traced her fingers over his cheek and then down to his lips as he grabbed her hand gently and kissed each finger that touched them with affection that she hadn't felt in years.

"Let's go get you something to eat. Clint's right. You must be starving by now.

It's almost 4 in the afternoon. I bet we can get Frypan to give up some of his leftovers before dinner starts in a couple of hours."

He said with a soft smile as he looked down at her fondly.

Sailor nodded and smiled, but she knew he could see that it didn't quite meet her eyes.

His smile faltered for a moment before he shook his head as if trying to clear the negative thoughts away before he rose off the bed and took her hands to gently help her stand.

She was shaky on her feet for a few seconds before she steadied herself and sighed in relief at the feeling of Gally's hand slipping around her own as he led her from the room.

"You've been awfully quiet now that your brother and everyone has left.

Tell me little one, what has you so silent after we've heard you speak words so loudly?"

He asked as he led her out of the homestead and towards the dining hall.

Sailor's smile faltered as she thought of what to say to him knowing that he couldn't yet know about what they had once been.

She knew it was important that he remember on his own.

She could help him with remembering but he needed to figure most of it out himself or else it could turn out badly.

So she opted for a small shrug as they made their way into the dining hall.

Gally stopped and turned to look down at her with a questioning look before he decided that when she wanted to talk, she would and began to knock on the door to the kitchen.

Sailor was relieved that he hadn't pushed her further for answers and tightened her grip on his hand giving him a good squeeze to silently let him know she appreciated it.

He glanced down at her and gave her a quick smile letting her know that he got the message before the door opened and Frypan the messy cook appeared in the doorway.

"Well what do we have here? If it isn't Captain and his Sailor girl?

You two have been stirring up all kinds of rumors around here. Tell old Fry now, are any of them true?"

He asked with a glimmer of mischief in his chocolate eyes.

Sailor rolled her eyes for what seemed like the millionth time that day making Gally chuckle and Frypan wave a hand dismissively at her.

"You and your brother are one in the same. He gives me that look at least three times a day.

Sometimes four if I make his least favorite food. You know what that is don't ya?"

He asked as she frowned and shook her head.

Frypan's eyes softened and he kindly answered for her.

"It's spinach. Your brother hates anything with spinach in it.

He's a rather picky eater. I hope you aren't as well but knowing the pair of you I'm guessing my hopes of that are dashed."

He said with a small chuckle before he ushered them into the small kitchen.

Gally glanced down at her and frowned when he noticed that the frown on her face had gotten deeper and her eyes held a sadness that he had seen many times before.

Giving her hand a gentle squeeze, he smiled down at her once she met his concerned gaze.

She gave him a hesitant smile back before following him and Frypan into a small dining area in the back of the kitchen.

"This is Fry and the cook's private dining area. They spend all day making food for the rest of us. They often like to spend their time eating their meals away from us to have a bit of a break."

Gally explained as she and him took a seat on a worn bench that was connected to a long, rustic wooden dining table.

She still couldn't find it in herself to speak so she simply nodded making his brows furrow in confusion before the look quickly vanished as the smell of food wafted through the air.

"What's on the menu tonight, Fry? Anything good?"

Gally asked loudly over the sound of boiling pots and pans.

Frypan rolled his eyes as steam rose up out of a boiling pot that was seated securely on the stove top nearby.

He gave the pot a good stir before he tapped his wooden spoon on the edge of the stove to rid it of the pot's contents.

"None of your business, Captain. You know I serve whatever we get. And whatever we get is what we have, ya hear?"

He said sternly making Gally chuckle and Sailor smirk at the cook's quick wit.

"But since you asked, it's stew. With whatever the hell I could find. We're running out of ingredients again. We'll need that new shipment that's coming sometime this week."

Frypan answered truthfully and Sailor noticed that Gally seemed to sober slighty at the news.

"You have enough to last you until then, right? Should I tell Newt to send a note down in the box tonight? I don't know if it'll reach them by morning but it might."

He rambled quickly before Frypan held up a hand stopping him in his tracks.

He shook his head and leaned back against the kitchen's faded yellow walls and crossed his arms over his chest regarding the Builder with an unreadable expression.

"We'll be fine, Captain. You don't worry about nothing, ya hear?

You just worry about keeping this place still standing ya got me?"

He said in all seriousness making Sailor realize that he too was worried about the Glade's lack of supplies.

Gally nodded stiffly before he turned back to her and Frypan got back to making their dinner.

"How are you, really?"

He asked gently as he scooted over so he could wrap his arms around her tightly.

She sighed and rested her head on his sweaty shirt covered chest and breathed in the deep smells of musky man that she hadn't remembered smelling in a long time.

"I'm fine, Captain. I just had a bit of a fight with my brother is all."

She said quietly as he nodded against her hair and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Well that much was obvious, darling. I think the whole Glade knows now about your relation to our dear old Newtie."

He whispered near her ear, making her shiver at the feeling of his hot breath fanning against her chilled, pale skin.

Gally noticed her shiver and smirked before dipping down and placing his lips gently against the skin of her neck making her gasp in pleasure.

He gently nipped and sucked down her neck heading towards her collarbone as she pulled him closer, desperately needing any contact that she could have with him.

It had been too long since they had made love.

Forever it felt like.

She knew it would be awhile before they made love again, but maybe, just maybe there would be a chance of it happening sooner than she expected.

A small moan escaped her pink lips making Gally let out a growl against her skin as his teeth sunk down slightly in her pale flesh.

His fingers were threaded in her long hair and her hands were grasping at any place that she could reach on him.

They both jumped though when a loud whistling sound was heard from behind them.

They both pulled away with heavy, needy pants and looked up to see that Frypan was eyeing them with a disapproving look.

"Now I know it's none of my business see, but you are in my kitchen and I would prefer if you kindly took that back to wherever you all are gonna go after this."

He said as both Gally and Sailor blushed at the cook's honest words.

Both of them nodded quickly and scooted a bit apart and began to talk about anything and everything to try and keep themselves from thinking how much they really needed each other in that exact moment.

Sailor studied her husband's face.

His cheeks were flushed and his breathing was uneven as he tried and failed to speak in a normal tone.

His voice had become gravelly and her insides flipped and jumped for joy at the delicious sensation of her panties being thoroughly soaked after their little afternoon tryst.

Knowing that they would have to wait until much later to continue their fun adventures, she bit her lip and smiled up at her husband knowing that in that moment she was right where she needed to be.
