After Garce's father death, the girl and her brother Connor had to ran away from Crescent Moon Bay. They took their father's old boat and moved on. Unfortunally there was a storm, and they were appart.
Grace woke up and saw that she was in a room, and she was very weak. When she opened her eyes, she heard a voice with a strong irish brogue.
"Well, look who's awake" It was a male voice. She looked up at him. He was a really handsome, with such blue eyes and black hair, and a beautiful smile. She flushed. He was really handsome.
"Who are you?" She asked. "Where am I?"
"I'm Lorcan Furey" He said, helping to sit up on the bed "And you are at a Military School, in England".
"What you mean?"
"I mean what I meant. I rescued you from the sea."
"Where's my brother?"
He frowned and looked sad.
"You didn't rescue him, did you?"
"Sorry, I just saw you"
"But you saw a boat, right?"
"No, there was just you"
"It can't be true, just can't!" She said, her face wet by the tears.
"I'm sorry" Lorcan said, sadly "Look, I don't know YOUR name"
"I'm Grace Tempest" she said, still crying.
"I'm really sorry, Grace (if I may call you like that)" She didn't answer.
Suddenly, a young nursy got into the room, with a cup of tea.
"Mr. Furey, it's time for your math class, right? Better if you go. I'll take care of her by now"
"I know why I need to go to class, i'm gonna die in the war anyway"
"Don't you say that!" Exclaimed the nurse "You have to go to the class, so go. go,go,go, you're annoying the poor girl"
"Actually he's not anno-" Grace started, but the nurse cutted her off.
"What's your name, miss?"
"Grace Tempest" she said.
"Such a nice name! I knew a girl called-" Lorcan cutted her off:
"She must be hungry, right?"
"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO, GET OUT RIGHT NOW, BRAT, OR I'M GONNA INJECT MORPHINE IN YOU AND YOU'RE GONNA LIE DOWN ASLEEP!"
"Fine, fine.." he said with a grin. "See you later, Grace"
"See you" she said, a bit confused.
The nurse asked her why was she crying and Grace explained, the nurse gave her a cup of water and a bowl of soup, and Grace took it. When she finished eating, her eyes were getting heavy and she fell asleep.
Connor felt a pain in his back. He opened his eyes and he just saw the gray and clouded sky. Turning his head, he saw a room, which looked very much like a cavern. But he was seeing the sky wasn't he? Looking at the other side, he just saw sand and the sea and remembered the accident. He tried to get up, but that was in vain. Then, a girl's voice said:
"Better if you stay lied down, lad. You have to rest."
"Where am I?" Connor asked.
"You are near to the pirate academy. I'm Cheg Li"
He tried to speak again, but he was too weak. Cheng Li shook her head.
"I said that it's better if you rest. Try to sleep a little more. When you wake up again, you'll get your dinner, ok?" she asked, but she didn't want an answer. But he already was asleep again.
