Chapter 4
Devlin woke, feeling the dampness from the ship. He closed his eyes savoring the feel of Sarah's soft lips. "Devlin, bloody hell boy, what happened to you?" Devlin could only grin. He knew he looked foolish, but he couldn't help it.
"Nothing, Johnny. What time is it?"
"Nearly noon, got some place to be?
"Bloody Hell," said Devlin, rolling out of his bunk, and crashing painfully onto the floor. Devlin scrambled to his feet, and began rushing around the cabin. He splashed water on his face in attempt to tidy up a bit.
"Johnny, I'm going out savvy? Cover for me." Devlin slipped off the ship before anyone could stop him.

Sarah stood awaiting Devlin on the grassy cliff. It was a warm breezy day, with a cloudless blue sky. The ocean breeze sprayed onto Sarah's face-a feeling she could never get enough of, just like Devlin. The entire morning her mind had been centered on him. She was positively thrilled by him. Sarah heard footsteps behind her, and spun around, her aqua dress flowing with her, to face not Devlin, but a boy with white-blond hair and ice blue eyes. He bowed, and not forgetting her manners she returned the gesture.
"Good Morning, Miss. Turner."
"Good Morning, Sir." Sarah felt uncomfortable. Something about the way those blue eyes were watching her.
"Please, call me Jarod. Sarah isn't it?"
"It is." They boy seemed pleasant enough, save for the glint in his eyes.
"Ah," he said producing a small parcel from his pouch, "This is for you. Your birthday was but a few weeks ago, was it not?" Sarah nodded, excepting the gift.
"Thank you," Sarah said. She opened the gift, her face brightening up. Whatever her original misgivings may have been they were lost as the wrapping fell away. In the little box, lay the cutest teddy bear. Sarah picked it up. The fur was of some soft material that Sarah had never felt before. The eyes were black marbles, and glinted in the sunlight. A golden ribbon was tied around the teddies neck. Sarah fingered the ribbon-it was definitely one of the ones that had been tied to her mask. Jarod had found it in the alley that night.
"Thank you so much! This is adorable!" A huge smile spread across Sarah's face. She loved teddy bears.
"'Tis a pleasure, one such as you deserves gifts of great value."
"Yes," she said vaguely fingering the black pearl and suddenly wondering where Devlin was.
Jarod's eyes darkened at the black pearl that hung so elegantly form her neck. It was a sign of Devlin's claim on her heart. Sarah heard footsteps and turned to find Devlin's smiling face. She beamed up at him, wishing for nothing more than a sweet kiss, but Devlin was no longer looking at her, but at the retreating figure behind her back-a retreating figure with white-blond hair. A fury of anger shone in Devlin's eye. Sarah was slightly confused, but the moment his eyes shifted back to her, they cleared and she became lost in his soft lips. The beautiful teddy bear slipped from Sarah's grasp, as she wrapped her arms around him. There was a soft rustling of grass as the teddy hit the ground. Devlin broke this kiss to look at the object he had previously ignored.
"What's this?" He asked picking up the bear.
"Oh, that boy-Jarod was it?- gave it to me for my birthday."
"Are you sure the boy's name was Jarod?" Devlin asked his voice full of anger.
"Yes, I'm quite sure. Devlin what's wrong? Devlin?" Devlin spun around in frustration. She'd met him, Devlin was growing more frantic. He was running out of time. Jarod would take her, and then she would be lost to him, and to the world. He turned to face Sarah; his eyes were full of anxiety.
"Sarah, that boy, he's dangerous. Do you understand?" Sarah shook her head, no she didn't understand.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked eyes narrowed. Devlin was pacing, and continued to do so after she asked her question.
"Devlin, stop pacing," Sarah reached out and grabbed his wrist, "stop pacing." In an instant, Sarah caught a glimpse of something on his wrist, much like the scar, but different, like a burn.
"Devlin…" Sarah pulled his sleeves up a bit. There, burned on his writs was a P. Sarah took in a breath. Her eyes flew to his, in search of some kind of explanation that would prove other to what was true. Devlin looked away in shame. Sarah peered down at the P. He was a pirate.
