I knew I shouldn't of trusted Bow because Pete came out from behind a set of shelves nearly scaring me half to death.

"Oh did I scare you?" He asked trying to look innocent but had miserably failed.

"No you merely surprised me." I stated then went back to arranging the books on the shelf. He slowly paced towards me and my heart quickened. He shouldn't be having this affect on me. "Is there something you want?"

"What a pirate isn't aloud to read?" He said sarcastically.

"I highly doubt that is why you came up here." I said not daring to look at him. He stepped much closer so I could smell his salty breath and feel it touch my cheek.

"And why do you doubt that?" He asked.

"You don't seem like the type that would read... ever." I tried not to stutter you would never believe how hard that was.

"Maybe I just don't have the time." He said. I turned and faced him with a book in my hand.

"Well don't waste mine." I went over to the green cushioned love seat and started reading. But couldn't since he stood there starring at me. Then he sat down next to me his arm wrapped around my shoulder. "Do you mind?" I hissed which made him chuckle.

"Nope not at all." He snatched the book out of my hand chucked it away and before I could react he threw himself on top of me. I yelped. "Is this really how you want to spend your day? Sitting around reading." He looked intently in my eyes. How dare he!

"Get off me!" I screeched. He shushed me and I pushed him but we both fell on the floor me landing on top of him.

"Me? Your the one on top of me," I was furious I tried to get up but he held me down on top of him wrapping his hands on back. I could feel his heart beat match mine. Then I heard footsteps.

"Silvana are you alright?" My mother said. I tried getting out of his grasp but he wouldn't let go.

"Please my mother can't catch me like this. I'll never here the end of it. Pete let me go." I whispered hastily at him but he wasn't fazed.

"I will but I want to take you out somewhere.. I won't let you go until you agree." I heard my mother's footsteps coming closer. Why Gods why me? I thought.

"Fine!" I yelled

"Silvana?" My mother said. Pete smirked at me and then and there I wanted to slap him. He let me go and I quickly stood up, So did he then he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the balcony.

"Ready to jump?" He asked and looked at him as if he was a idiot.

"Are you mad!?"

"Only half." You ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer. He grabbed a hold of my waist and we jumped down me landing on top of him. As angry as I was I was also extremely excited. I pulled my self away from him and he stood up grabbed my arm but I pulled away.

"You don't need to pull me around." I said. He shrugged then led the way. Why did I have the feeling that something bad was going to happen?

*******

We arrived in Charmsville. I grabbed a hold of Pete's arm.

"Where are you taking me?" I questioned. He took my hand and for some reason I let him.

"Stop asking questions and follow me." His grip tightened on my hand. So running off wasn't exactly an option not that I had wanted to anyway. He led through the streets where I got looks from other people. I hate people staring at me. I stood tall glaring at people who frowned at me. What's their problem? I heard Pete chuckle and looked at him confused. "It's because you are with me. This usually happens when I come around." He told me still holding my hand. I should of let go that would of been the right thing to do but I felt so comfortable and his grip was really tight. I need answers! But demanding them from him isn't such a good idea. So I guess I'll have to try other tactics. Once we were out of sight of the nosy towns people I used my other to place on his shoulder gently he stopped abruptly and only turned his head to look at my hand.

"Pete where are we going?" I said softly at his ear. He shivered then faced me. Putting his spare hand on my cheek. He caressed my cheek and leaned in toward me. I tensed up then relaxed he won't try anything... right? His thumb slid across my bottom lip, and I would of shivered but I am not showing him any encouragement.

"Nice try Silvana." He said then smirked. Over grown TUNA!! I bit his thumb and he immediately pulled away.

"Ouch! Did you bite me?" He yelled.

"Tell me where we are going?" I hissed avoiding the question. He scowled then turned to head off. I didn't budge. He turned around and looked at me clearly annoyed. "I'm not moving until you tell me..." Before I could finish he slung me over his shoulder. I yelped and he laughed. "Put me down!" I demanded but he ignored me and started walking. This is humiliating! "I mean it Pete you are going to regret this!" He just kept on walking but sense the smile spread across his face. Yeah he can laugh now but I always get my revenge.

After a few minutes of punching his back and kicking I sighed and gave up. "Please put me down Pete give me some dignity. I promise not to cause any more trouble." I said. He stayed silent then he said. "Nope." And this is when I got really irritated. But there was nothing I could do.

"Stop it!" I said.

"Stop what?" He questioned.

"Stop smiling you are not aloud to enjoy this." I growled and he started laughing so I elbowed the back of his head. He cursed and I smiled triumphantly. That's when I noticed that we weren't walking on concrete any more we were walking on sand. I gazed around and turns out he carried me to a beach. The same beach where I first met him. "Why are we here?" He sighed at me.

"Again with the questions!" I rolled my eyes and heard other male voices.

"Ah typical of the son of the captain. Always carrying around a damsel in distress." Huh? Son of the captain?

"Who is your fine looking friend?" I another mans voice said. Typical of men! They can't even see my face! Finally Pete put me down and I kicked his leg. He didn't even flinch but you could see the pain in his eyes. HEHEHE! I heard the men start laughing and immediately realized where I was. I saw this humongous ship right in front of me with white sails and artistic carvings of mermaids on it.

"This is your ship?" I asked completely amazed. The men started laughing again. I looked at them confused then at Pete but he wouldn't look at me in the eyes.

"My fair lady he ain't captain." One of them said. He wore dirty rags, no shoes, grey messy hair and beard and of course had an eye patch. Completely different to the nice clean clothing Pete was wearing.

"Wait your not captain?" I said trying to look at Pete in the eye but he looked down rubbing the back of his neck. "I knew you were too young."
