Chapter 2
Sarah sighed. She had been away for far to long. Sarah strolled along the dark streets, listening to the distant shouts from the tavern or the occasional silent whisper of a breeze. There was a rustling from an ally way to Sarah's left. She turned, curious to discover the source of the noise. From within the dark ally way, cruel ice blue eyes watched their pray falling into their trap. A smile played across the boy's face, an evil malicious smile of triumph. Just a bit farther, my dear, thought the boy as Sarah made her way down the ally. Then a shout rang out, and Sarah turned to find a boy running towards her, calling out her name. She turned from the dark ally, addressing her friend.
"Edward, whatever are you doing here?"
"Looking for you. Your mother was about to faint when she'd found you'd run off."
"I only went for a walk," Sarah responded, laughing a bit.
"You and I both know your mother to be over protective." Sarah nodded taking the arm offered to her, and they walked off. A silent curse escape the boy's mouth as his ice blue eyes blazed in anger. His plan had been foiled. He must take her-must have her.
From above watched a boy with grey-brown eyes. Every muscle within him ready to strike that boy if so much as touched her, but she was safe-for now. His eyes shone with fury, his temper barely controlled. Devlin shook with the effort of restraint from delivering a deadly blow to the boy. As he watched Sarah walked away, Devlin sighed in relief. His princess was safe. Devlin relished the thought, my princess. He slipped into the shadows, returning to his ship. He smiled returning to his own Black Pearl.

"Where have you been?" Though miles apart, both Sarah and Devlin winced at the question they were being asked.
"I only went for a walk," said Sarah staring boldly into her mother's eyes, "Am I not an adult? I am not your little girl anymore! You can not protect me forever!!!!" she said.
"You are my child!" her mother said struggling to control her temper.
"I may be your child, but I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL!!! Look at me, do I look like a child? Do I act like a child?"
"Who were you with tonight?" Elizabeth asked suddenly.
"No one," Sarah said, wondering what her mother was talking about.
"The boy, that one you were dancing with, you went down to the docks with him, DIDN'T YOU?"
"I DID NOT SUCH THING!!!"
"Are you lying to me? Go to your room!" Sarah spun around, still dressed in her gown, with her mask on. She spun around so fast that her mask slipped from her face, crashing onto the floor. The porcelain mask cracked into two pieces. Tears glistened in Sarah's eyes, as she picked up the mask and ran to her bedroom. She was like a caged animal, and at that moment she only wanted freedom.
A week passed, with Sarah confined to the house. She hated being inside, being caged. At dinner, that Friday night, she had another row, this time with her father.
"She treats me like a child! I was not allowed outside this house with out a chaperone, I'm only allowed to see the friends whom, mother thinks are appropriate!" Sarah said her anger growing.
"That doesn't give you the right to just ignore her!"
"That gives me every right to be angry! I am 15! I am not a child!"
"But neither are you an adult!" Will's temper was getting the better of him. The past week had been spent with hostile tension through out the house. Elizabeth was sorely regretting her accusations, but Sarah was just as stubborn as her mother.
"Daddy, how can you defend her? She practically locked me up all week! She is just asking for trouble." Will couldn't take this.
"Sarah! Go to your room!" He shouted at his daughter. Sarah did as she was bid.
It was a cloudless night, with a crescent moon shining above her, as she stood out on her balcony. She let the cool night air cool her warm face. The tears seemed to never stop. She cried for the freedom she didn't have, and for her own cowardice at being afraid to obtain that freedom for herself. She went back into her room, blowing out her candle, then returned to the balcony. She never noticed a shadowed figure slip into her room.
Sarah stood on the balcony, letting the cool breezes dry her face. She suddenly sensed a presence behind her, eyes watching her. Somehow she knew.
"I missed you." She said, settling into the arms that wrapped around her.
"Did you now?" Devlin smirked, pleased with himself.
"Yes, this week as been just dreadful. I wasn't allowed out anywhere."
Devlin felt different. Not bad, not good-confused. Originally Sarah had been just a game, a game a 12 year old should never have been involved in, but Devlin loved the thrill of a good chase and he watched her. Now, it was different, and he didn't know why, neither did she. Sarah felt so unexplainably close to him, yet she knew hardly anything about him-and that was part of what thrilled her. Devlin bent his lips to Sarah's ear, and whispered words that tempted Sarah beyond thought.
