CLAIRE AND BRIANNA CAPTURED AND ENSLAVED BY PIRATES (The hidden outlander chronicles)
In this version, Claire Fraser and her daughter Brianna have travelled through the stone circle of time together in search of Claire's husband Jamie Fraser, who was taken to the colonies in America afterthe lost Battle of Culloden. Only by chance has Claire learnt that her beloved Jamie is still alive and so the two women set off for the stone circle of Craigh na Dun, which takes them 200 years into the past. Together theyare now on board the Artemins on their journey to Wilmington. But in 1766, the waters, especially those around the Caribbean, are anything but safe.
Claire Fraser
By any standard, Claire is a woman ahead of her own time in 1945, and an outright anomaly in the 18th century. Her unusual upbringing, together with her six years as an army combat nurse, shaped Claire intoa thoroughly independent woman undaunted by rough living conditions and physical danger. She is an eminently sensible person, though her considerable personal freedom from a young age shows through in her stubborn aversionto taking orders without questioning them. When it comes to practicing medicine, Claire takes charge and keeps a cool head in dire situations. In the 20th century, she stands out as a woman in medical school, and in the 18thshe draws the ire of fellow surgeons, an exclusively male profession at the time.
After the end of the second World War, Claire Randall is on a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands with her husband, Frank, when she encounters a circle of standing stones at a place called Craigh na Dun. Hearing a strange buzzing sound, Claire approaches the large cleft stone and, upon touching it, finds herself lost in a cacophony of noiseand indescribable terror.
When she awakens, she soon finds herself in the middle of a skirmish between what appear to be English dragoons and Scottish cattle raiders in the 18th century. The Scotsmen rescue her from an attack by an English captain, suspicious of her strange dress and accent, take her with them to the seat of the clan MacKenzie, Castle Leoch. She shares a horse with Jamie, a young Scottish warrior whose multiple injuries require Claire's medical expertise. She also learns of Jamie's past history with Captain Jack Randall, the English dragoon who had assaulted her before she abscondedwith the Scotsmen.
The MacKenzies keep Claire captive for several months, during which time she plots her escape but fails to execute her plans successfully. All the while, her friendship with Jamie grows, and when she again findsherself on the verge of being taken prisoner by Captain Randall, she is offered no other choice than to marry Jamie, thereby becoming a Scot and virtually untouchable by the English.
Claire continues to try to escape back to her old life and first husband, but after yet another failed attempt results in a dangerous rescue headed up by Jamie, followed by a turning point in their relationship,she finds herself putting less and less effort into trying to return to Craigh na Dun. One day, while Jamie is away from the castle, Claire is herself caught up in a witch trial against the fiscal's wife, Geillis Duncan. Jamie intervenes and takes her away from Leoch, and she confesses the truth about coming from the future. Jamie says he believes her, andtakes Claire back to Craigh na Dun.
After contemplating her choices for some time, Claire decides to stay with Jamie. They go to Jamie's childhood home, Lallybroch, where Claire meets his sister, Jenny and best-friend-turned-brother-in-law, Ian. Claire has barely begun to imagine building a life with Jamie there, when he is taken by the Black Watch and turned over to the English. With help fromJenny and Jamie's godfather Murtagh, and later some of her erstwhile acquaintances from Castle Leoch, Claire manages to rescue Jamie from Wentworth Prison and the sadistic Captain Randall, but not before he has suffered untold horrors, both physically and psychologically.
She and Murtagh take Jamie to France to recover, and Claire's desperation to save Jamie's body and soul drives to her to try an unorthodox therapy – one more closely resembling exorcism thanher usual poultice or tonic. Successfully bringing Jamie back from death's door, the couple again begins to contemplate their future together..
Having decided to try to change the course of history by interfering in Charles Stuart's machinations France, Claire and Jamie live and work in Paris – Jamie as a representative of his cousin Jared Fraser's wine business (and secret stealer of the royal Stuarts' mail), and Claire as a healer at L'Hôpital des Anges. Jamie is very reluctant to allow Claire to attend patients at the hospital, considering her pregnancy, but sheeventually persuades him to come around. While in Paris, Claire befriends Mother Hildegarde, the nun who runs the hospital; Master Raymond, a strange and knowledgeable apothecary; Louise de La Tour, a French noblewoman; and Mary Hawkins, niece of a wine merchant and amoureuse of Alexander Randall.
When Jamie finds out that Jack Randall survived their escape from Wentworth Prison, he immediately starts to plan how he can kill the man once and for all, but Claire begs him to wait until Randall has fathereda child by Mary Hawkins; Claire knows that her husband Frank was descended from Mary and Jack Randall, and does not want to jeopardize his future existence. Jamie agrees for a time, but after witnessing an incident betweenRandall and a boy Fergus, whom Jamie had employed to steal letters from Charles Stuart, he can no longer hold back his rage and challenges Randallto a duel. Claire tries to stop them, but she experiences a life-threatening miscarriage and has to be taken back to the hospital.
Though she and Jamie both survive their trials, Jamie ends up imprisoned in the Bastille, and Claire finds herself immersed in a fog of grief. When she learns of Jamie's imprisonment, she realizes she mustget him released so he can complete the plan put in train with Murtagh to foil Charles Stuart's attempts to raise funding for his rebellion. She seeks an audience with King Louis, and subjects herself to the "king'spleasure". Jamie is freed, and she returns to Fontainebleau without seeing him. Eventually, Jamie finds Claire and they reconcile. With a pardon for Jamie in Britain, and orders from the French that Jamie must leave thecountry, they return to Lallybroch.
They live in relative peace for a little over a year before the Jamie is drawn against his will into the rebellion. Having failed to prevent it, Claire offers any knowledge she can muster in order to help theJacobites win against the Crown's forces. Despite an early success at Prestonpans, it becomes clear to Claire and Jamie that they cannot change the tide of the war, and instead they do their best to secure the safety ofthe Lallybroch men and Jamie's family, before sending Claire back through the stones, and before Jamie faces certain death at the looming Battle of Culloden.
Upon concluding her story, Claire is distressed by Brianna's enraged refusal to believe her. With help from Roger, Claire tracks down Gillian Edgars, whom she has identified as her old friend Geillis, beforethe latter traveled back in time. Claire leads Roger and Brianna to Craigh na Dun, potentially to stop Gillian from going back, but they fail. Still, the event serves its purpose in convincing Brianna that her mother is tellingthe truth, and erasing any lingering doubts Roger may have had – they could both hear the stones, too.
As they recover from this harrowing experience, Roger brings Claire a life-changing bit of evidence – one that suggests that Jamie didn't die at the Battle of Culloden, as she had believed for the past twenty years..
Brianna Ellen Randall Fraser
Brianna is the second daughter of Claire and Jamie Fraser. Brianna did not know the story of her true parentage until after the man she had thought was her father, Frank Randall, had died and her mother took her to Scotland, where she told Brianna and Roger MacKenzie about her journey through time and her life with Jamie.
Brianna was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to English expatriate parents Claire and Frank Randall. Frank was a professor of history at Harvard University, and Claire was a homemaker during Brianna's early years.
Brianna attended a private Catholic school. When Brianna reached school age, her mother started medical school. One day when Brianna was seven, Claire was late coming home to relieve the babysitter. The babysitterleft Brianna alone, and Brianna ventured outside to look for Claire. She was hit by a slow-moving car, and Claire decided to quit her program so she could care for Brianna full-time. Frank persuaded her not to, and offeredto have Brianna come to his university office after school.
When she was about twelve, Frank taught Brianna to shoot a gun. He gave her a .22 gauge rifle when she was thirteen, and a shotgun for her fifteenth birthday. He continued to take her to practice shooting, witha pistol, rifle and shotgun well into her teens.[4][5]
Shortly after her seventeenth birthday, just months before she would graduate from high school, her father was killed in a car accident. In the fall, after having taking history courses at the university whilein high school, she enrolled as a history major.[6]
In spring of 1968, Brianna's mother took her to Scotland, ostensibly for a sight-seeing tour. However, soon she found out that Claire had ulterior reasons for bringing her there. Claire revealed the truthto Brianna: that her biological father was an 18th-century Scottish Highlander named Jamie Fraser.
With a little time and some first-hand experience with the stone circle at Craigh na Dun, Brianna came to accept her mother's incredible story as true.
Once again, I'm going to present several possibilities for this story and then let the audience vote on how the story should continue. I hope for a lively participation again..
