"Aria, back doon. ye arenae getten those wee jimmies." A man says. I tense up at his voice. 
A scottish accent. Reminding me of home.
 Aria moves and the owner of the voice has pitch black hair, wide evil smile, skin much like the sand of a beach and sharp dark chocolate brown eyes.  
"Ellow, maties" He says and Isabel gasps.
"Charlie." She says her voice shaking.
"Do you know who he is?" 
I turn to her and shake my head.
"That's Rhys Bryant."
"Captain." Rhys says grinning.
"Your Captain Rhys?" I ask.
"Pleasure, loove" 
I feel all the colo(u)r drain from my face. 
'Oh, dear lord what have I just gotten myself into.'
