Here is chapter 4! I hope you all like it! I do not own Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas. It belongs to Dreamworks. I only own my OC.

Chapter 4

Before night fell on Syracuse, a figure sped through the halls of the palace.

Rushing to the royal treasury was Kiara.

She still had her hair in a bun. She didn't have her circlet or teardrop earrings. For her new earrings, the were silver hoops. Around her neck, was a thin silver necklace with a small rectangular amethyst gem in the middle. This time she wasn't wearing a dress. Instead, she wore and orchid purple shirt. The sleeves were tight and went to her elbows. Her shoulders were exposed. She was wearing dark blue tight pants and tight black boots with small heels. The boots went to her knees. At her side, she carried a messenger bag with her belongings inside and on her back was a very large bag, waiting to be filled.

Kiara arrived in front of the doors of the treasury and realized the doors were locked.

She smirked. "hmph, no problem for me."

She knelt down in front of the lock and took a hair pin from her bun. She began to pick the lock with a very concentrated look on her face.

In just ten seconds, the lock clicked, and opened wide.

Kiara placed the pin back in her hair and walked inside. "Ten seconds. A new record."

In front of Kiara, there were mountains of gold. Thousands of jewels unimaginable.

"Wow. If the men at sea could find this, they'd be in heaven." Kiara said to herself.

But she got back to business, and began what she came for.

"Time to load up." she walked to the center of the room and dropped the duffle bag on the ground.

Instantly she began putting gold and jewels of big and small into the bag.

But the sound of someone clearing his throat stopped her in her tracks.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice asked.

Kiara cautiously looked to the entrance and saw none other than Proteus leaning against the door.

(He's basically wearing what he wore when Sinbad and his crew attacked Proteus's ship.)

Kiara's sky blue eyes widened. "Proteus." she breathed.

She cringed when she realized what he caught her doing.

'Uh oh,' she thought to herself. 'Busted.'

Kiara raised her hands up in surrender. "Okay, I know this looks bad, but I'm stealing for a really good reason."

Proteus raised an eyebrow. "And what reason is that?"

Kiara winced a little. "A first class payment to get on Sinbad's ship?"

"Why would you do that?"

Kiara shrugged. "Well, someone has to make sure Sinbad gets the book. If he gets paid with a lot of gold and jewels, that might do the trick."

Proteus smirked. "What a coincidence." a bag dropped by Proteus's feet. "I was thinking the same thing."

Kiara's eyes widened again. She looked at Proteus in surprise. "You're stealing from your own treasury?"

Proteus shrugged as he picked up his bag came into the room. "My father won't notice that anything is gone. And knowing Sinbad, he'll do anything for riches."

"You have a point there."

Kiara looked at her bag. "Well in that case, start loading up as much gold and jewels as you can, but be quick about it. Sinbad won't set sail till sundown."

With that, they both began loading as much treasure as they can carry into their duffle bags.

They were able to finish in a few minutes.

Kiara inspected their bags. "This should be enough for Sinbad. But let's grab some large gems for the crew. We'll need their help to get on the ship, and for them to keep quiet about it."

They both quickly grabbed the largest jewels. The grabbed double gems. Two for each crew member.

Once they had everything they needed, they ran out of the treasury and raced to the docks.

As they approached the docks, they kept a lookout for Sinbad's ship.

"Which one is it?" kiara asked.

Proteus looked around quickly and saw a ship with red sails. He quickly pointed at it.

"It's that one. Come on!"

They raced to the ship and got on board.

The tall African man from last night came up to the two. "Proteus? What are you doing here?"

"We're here to make sure Sinbad finds the book. And we brought these to have you help us get on board and keep quiet about it till we get further out to sea." proteus explained as he and Kiara revealed their gems to the crew.

The crew's eyes widened as the saw the jewels.

Proteus and Kiara knew that the deal was done.

The African man looked at the two and smiled. "Welcome aboard. My name is Kale. We'll take you two down here," he pointed to a door in the floor with holes. "we'll bring you two up when we are far at sea. Hurry, sinbad will be here soon. As soon as he arrives, we're setting sail."

He motioned for two Asian men that appeared to be brothers, and they helped Proteus and Kiara down deck.

But not before they handed out the jewels to the crew.

The twins brought Proteus and Kiara to the farthest corner of below.

"Here's where you'll stay for now." the first twin said.

"We'll bring you two up as soon as we can." the second twin finished.

Proteus and Kiara nodded their thanks and sat down.

The twins we're walking back to the entrance but not before saying one more thing.

The first twin said, "By the way, my name is Jin."

The other finished. "I'm Lee."

They finished together. "We hope you enjoy your trip."

With that they jumped back on deck and closed the door.

Kiara sighed quietly and breathed in relief. "Well, that's one obstacle down." she said softly.

Proteus nodded in agreement. He looked at Kiara curiously. "How did you know that would work?"

She shrugged. "I know pirates, and I know the rules of the seas. If you want something, you have to trade or bargain for it."

"Yes, but you seem as though you've done this before."

"well yeah. I guess I have. That's how us pirates work." she said casually.

Proteus's eyes widened. "You're a pirate?"

Kiara chuckled softly. "Yeah, but I'm not a bad one."

Proteus raised an eyebrow curiously.

"I only steal when I want to bargain something, or if I need food or clothes. I only steal from the ones who have too much. So I'm kinda like an honest pirate."

All of a sudden they felt the ship move and they both knew what it meant.

They were setting sail.

Kiara sighed happily. "Well, here we go again, on another adventure."

Proteus looked at her. "Im guessing you share Marina's love of the sea."

Kiara laughed. "Yeah. Marina and I have always loved the sea. Our parents thought we were crazy. They said it wasn't ladylike to be having such childish dreams." she frowned in thought. "Well, they told me that. Not Marina."

Proteus looked confused. "What do you mean, 'not Marina'?"

She shrugged. "Well, back then Marina was the perfect child, and I was the troublemaker. Now don't get me wrong, I don't resent Marina at all. I was fine with it. But I felt bad that Marina didn't get a lot of say in some things." kiara brought her knees up to her chin and wrapped her arms around her legs. "My parents resented me because I wasn't proper and caused trouble. They didn't even pay attention to me. Marina was the only one who was always there for me. She was all the family I needed."

Proteus looked at Kiara sadly. He couldn't imagine how she felt. To feel so alone in the the world. Unloved by the people who gave her life.

Kiara shook her head. "But it's okay now. I'm happy the way things are now. I wouldn't have it any other way."

Proteus looked unsure at her for a moment, but decided to drop the subject for now.

After that, they kept quiet and just listened to the waves they were sailing on. They closed their eyes as the listened to the lullaby of the sea and soon fell asleep.

For what seemed like five minutes to Proteus and Kiara, but was really three hours, they heard a knocking from above them.

Proteus and kiara were sleeping very close to eachother. Kiara's head was resting on Proteus's left shoulder and Proteus's head was resting ontop of her head.

They both slowly opened their eyand to the knocking and feeling the weight on eachother, they glanced at eachother sleepily. When they realized how close they were their eyes widened and they jumped apart.

Kiara exclaimed a little and pushed herself back against the wall across from Proteus, stuttering and blushing red.

(Think of Korra and Mako from the Revelation.)

From the top, Jin and lee's head popped in upside down smiling.

"You two can come up now. The captain is in his cabin. You can go see him now." Jin said.

They popped their heads back on deck.

Proteus and Kiara sighed and then got up. They grabbed their treasure bags and walked beneath the entrance of the opening to the deck.

Kiara knelt down and locked her fingers together. "here, I'll give you a boost. It'll be easier with you to lift me out of here then the other way around."

Proteus nodded and placed his foot on her hands and grabbed the top of the entrance. He climbed up to the deck and set his bag down.

The he turned around and knelt to the entrance. "Jump up and grab my hands."

Kiara nodded. "No problem."

She walked to the wall and then gave a running start. As she came to the bottom of the entrance, she jumped high into the air.

Proteus reached down with both of his hands and grabbed Kiara's hands as they came closer to him.

He easily pulled her up to deck.

Kiara nodded her thanks and Proteus did the same.

Proteus grabbed his bag and together they walked to where Sinbad's room would be.

They opened a door and saw that Sinbad was about to go to sleep, but Proteus cleared his throat and startled Sinbad.

He looked to the entrance to his room and saw Proteus and Kiara.

Sinbad was shocked. "Proteus? Kiara? What are you doing here?"

Kiara smirked. "What do you think? To make sure you get the book of peace. Or bring your dead body if you fail."

Sinbad inwardly groaned. 'Shes definitely related to that woman.' he thought to himself.

"sorry but there is no room for you two, so I'll just dump you two in a row boat to go back to Syracuse."

Kiara smirked and shook her head. "I don't think so. We have something that will change your mind."

Sinbad rolled his eyes. "Oh really? And what would that be?"

Proteus and Kiara both took out two large diamonds for Sinbad.

He took them both and look interested. "Okay, you have my attention, but this won't be enough for first class."

Kiara nodded. "True, so how will this do for payment and first class?"

Proteus and Kiara opened their duffle bags and threw them on the floor near Sinbad's feet.

Gold and jewels spilled out and Sinbad's eyes and mouth opened wide.

Proteus and Kiara smirked at his reaction.

Proteus crossed his arms, amused. "So will this do?"

Sinbad could only just nod.

Kiara placed her hands on her hips. "So where will we sleep?"

Sinbad snapped out of his daze, and looked around the room.

He pointed near his bed. "Theres an extra cot for you to sleep on Proteus. and over here," he gestured with his thumb to a hammock where the window was. "You can sleep in the hammock, Kiara."

Proteus and Kiara nodded, accepting the sleeping arrangements.

Sinbad rubbed his hands together. "Okay, let's get some shut eye. We've got a long sail. Night." with that, he walked over to his bed, and instantly fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Proteus and Kiara sighed and shook their heads at Sinbad.

They looked at eachother.

Kiara shrugged and waved a little. "Well, good night."

Proteus nodded. "Good night."

He walked over to the cot near Sinbad and quickly got comfortable. He fell asleep just as fast as Sinbad.

Kiara walked to her hammock and placed her messenger bag on the ground. She laid on the hammock and laid on her left side, looking out at the ocean.

Before sleep claimed her, she thought to herself, 'Looks like this will be an adventure I'll never forget.'

Little did she know, was that she was right.

Thats the end of chapter 4! I hope you all liked it! When I thought of that Makorra moment from the Revelation, I just had to put it in! I'll see you all next time! Please review!
