Chapter 3
"Come away with me," he whispered in her ear. Sarah breath caught. Run away with him. She would be free. That was something she wanted more than anything right? Or was it? "Devlin," Sarah said turning around. Now she was facing him, his warm breath on her face. He was close-as close as he had been on that night they first met, but this time the closeness didn't bother her. She lifted a soft hand and traced a finger over his scar. Then she closed her eyes, as if in pain.
"Devlin, how can I leave my family? I do love them." When she opened her eyes, Devlin's face was closer than before.
Devlin wanted to kiss her. To claim her soft lips as his, he wanted that more than anything at the moment, but he was a gentleman. He was also unsure. In his mind he knew that one kiss would be sealing his fate. She was in danger, even when he was with her. Part of him wanted to protect her from the world he might pull her into, and the rest of him wanted her. Devlin found himself lost in her as he bent his head lower, bringing his lips to hers.
A thrill ran through Sarah's spine. No boy had ever done that. Instinctively Sarah wrapped her arms around Devlin's neck, pulling them closer together. In response Devlin rested his hands on her waist. When they parted, Sarah was dazed and slightly winded. "I don't want to loose you." Devlin said, looking down at her with sadness in his eyes. Before she could answer him, there was a knock on her door. Fear shot through Sarah. "Run," she said.
"Sarah? Are you awake? Please, Sarah I just want to talk." It was Will. Devlin hadn't move. "Devlin pleases! Go!" Sarah gave him a little push towards the balcony. "Sarah, meet me tomorrow," Devlin climbed down the balcony, "at the cliff-the one where you can see the boats docking from above, savvy?" Sarah nodded. "Did he just say savvy?" she said to herself, as the door opened.
"Daddy! I don't want to talk. I'm very tired." Sarah turned and gazed blankly at her father who, nodded and left. Sarah let out a sigh of relief. She crawled into bed savoring the kiss, reliving every moment. Her skin still tingled with the memory of his breath against her skin. Sarah drifted in to a pleasant sleep, still thinking of Devlin.
*****One Week Ago*****
"Where have you been?" Though miles apart both Sarah and Devlin winced at the question being asked.
"I was around," answered Devlin nonchalantly, trying to avoid a direct answer.
"I know where you were," growled the Captain.
"Do you now?"
"You were at the ball. I saw you there. What did you do to Sarah?"
"Jack! I'm offended! You think I would ever"
"Devlin, Sarah is still a child, innocent as a lamb. You leave her be."
"Sarah is not a child," Devlin smirked; he doubted whether Sarah had ever been so innocent. She could have seduced him the night they met, now that Devlin thought about it.
"Devlin! Damn! You will never see her again. Do you understand?" asked Jack, coming close to Devlin's face, making sure he was quiete understood. Devlin was in no position to argue. He had no home. The mark on his wrist would never allow him go home. The mark that branded him as a pirate.

Devlin walked back to the ship still a bit surprised at what had just happened. He walked down the docks that were home to the street cats, and the drunk. He casually walked down to the pier on which the Black Pearl was docked when, from the shadows, a boy bard his way. Devlin knew who it was. Those ice eyes shone beneath the hood with such fierce cruelty.
"You kissed her." It wasn't a question. The voice was full of spite, and unless Devlin an undertone of barely controlled jealousy.
"What if I did?" Devlin asked his usual cockiness gone.
"She was only ever a game to you! A bet that you almost won!" The last words stung, because they were true. That night when Devlin had snuck into Will Turner's shops, he had taken a bet that he could get "Jack's Princess" to kiss him, but things had gotten to close. Devlin had felt disgusted that he would do such a thing, though he was attracted to her. Devlin remained silent.
"What? Devlin doesn't have an answer?"
"Shut it!"
"Struck a nerve, have I?" Devlin lost it. He grabbed the boy by the scruff of the neck and slammed him against the nearest door.
"Do not speak of things you do not understand! AND stay away from Sarah; she need not be bothered with the likes of you!" Devlin through a balled fist into the stomach of the boy. "Stay away from her, Jarod." Devlin walked off, heading in the direction of the Pearl, lost in a whirl of thoughts.
