Trapped in His Tartan *Scottish Fic*

"Let him." Sebastian said. Colin glanced over at his brother and shook his head slightly. They weren't scared of anyone and the girls didn't understand the implications of what would happen once it was found out they were stolen.

"I'm just going to be honest with you..once he finds out I've taken you he will not want you anymore." He said slowly, "No man wants what another man has already had."

"How do YOU know I haven't already been had?" Elsa said.

Sebastian smiled, "Everyone knows about you and your sister. That's how."

Aralyn grumbled, "Could just be rumors."

"You kept away from any possible suitors." Colin replied with a slight smirk, "But perhaps a servant or something got to you."

"Suppose since you can't be sure you may as well just let us go." Elsa smirked, she was obviously kidding but it was nice to think. "Don't want damaged goods."

Sebastian shrugged, "You two will enjoy it with us."

"I highly doubt that." Aralyn sighed.

"Despite our unfortunate means of engagement, you will soon learn you two could have ended up with far worse husbands." Colin said matterofactly.

The girls shared a look, "How much longer til camp?"

"Here will do just fine." Sebastian said, stopping in the middle of the clearing they had been passing through. He took Elsa down from the horse with him, "Do NOT wander." He warned.

All of the men set up camp. Aralyn sat quietly next to her sister.

"Lyn, have you got any more knives?" Colin asked softly as he knelled in front of her, "If you don't answer me, I will check."

Aralyn sighed and handed him two more. "Thank you." Colin mumbled.

"I really dislike you." Aralyn spat.

*&*

"And you missy?" Sebastian turned to Elsa.

"None." She shrugged.

He pulled her to him quickly, reached a hand up her dress before she could stop him and grabbed the dagger that was attached to her thigh, "I felt it when we were riding." He snapped as he put it in his pocket, "Anymore?"

Elsa silently handed him a small knife she kept in her boot.

"They're too smart for their own good." Colin grumpled, "ANYTHING else that can be used as a weapon?"

"You mean besides our looks or brains?" Aralyn retorted.

"Jesus.." Sebastian grumbled, "I have a feeling they're going to make us regret this decision."

"I do hope so." Elsa snapped.

Colin chuckled, "At least they'll keep us on our toes."

The group at a small meal. Everyone was exhausted.

"Come." Sebastian said grabbing Elsa's hand and stood up. He was ready for bed.

"Aye. I'm exhausted." Colin said as he stood up as well.

Aralyn glared at him, "If I promise to stay put can I sleep right here?"

"No. I put up a tent for a reason. It's gonn' rain. Come."

The sister's exchanged looks and slowly walked into separate tents with each man.

Aralyn walked into hers and looked around. She took her boots off and sat on the bed roll.

"I wish you'd let me stay with my sister." She said.

*&*

When they walked in Sebastian took his shirt and boots off and laid down on the bed roll without a word. Elsa took her boots off as well and laid as far from Sebastian on the bed roll as possible.

"Do not touch me." Elsa snapped as he went to put an arm about her.

Colin sighed, "I know. But you'll do what I say."

Aralyn practically growled at him, "NO I will not. You're not my boss. You have to EARN my respect and love and EVERYTHING. You are stealing me. You will never have my respect or love. I HATE you."

*&*

Sebastian shrugged, "Fine. Don't touch me when you get cold."

Colin looked at her, "There's a fine line between hate and love, lassie. I suspect soon enough you'll cross it."

*&*

"Fine." She kept to her side of the bed roll but Sebastian was right and within fifteen minutes the cold Scottish night took hold and she was shivering. Sebastian noticed the shivering and laughed silently. He fully expected her to come to his side but she wouldn't.

"Jesus woman..ye're stubborn. Ye're going to catch your death." He muttered but still Elsa kept to her side, far away from him.

"We shall see." She muttered before she laid down and got under the blanket, "You're the big man. Stay out from under MY blanket."

*&*&*

She smiled to herself.

"Fine." Colin snapped as he laid down.

*&*

"Stop acting like a child." Sebastian scolded her but she still would not move.

Aralyn smirked. It was nice to finally have pissed him off. She rolled on her side and got comfortable.

&*&

She just continued to ignore him til he finally fell asleep

The next morning

Sebastian woke to find that Elsa had made her way into his arms at night. He knew it was most likely in her sleep and unintentional but as she stirred he still whispered, "I win."

She jumped away from him and the glowered.

*&*

Colin yawned as he slowly woke. He smiled to himself when he saw that Aralyn had covered him up when he fallen asleep. She was pressed up against him, snoring softly.

"Wake up beautiful. I'll make breakfast." He whispered softly. She opened her eyes slowly. It dawned on her where she was. Instead of rushing away like he'd expected, she rolled over on top of him.

"I could kill you now." She said with a smile as she held a knife to his throat. Colin chuckled.

"If that had been your plan, I'd be dead already." She laughed and shrugged before getting up and pulling on her boots.
