Black Heart

***Thanks for the good advice i got from my reviewers on how to proceed with the story! Here I go!


Elanor remained standing long after the captain left. She wrapped her arms around her and she blushed as she remembered how the captain had held her...and how he had kissed her. Elanor felt a deep longing inside her heart that was coupled with fear. Why did she find herself desiring a man she just met in a span of an hour?

'I'm probably acting like this because this is my first kiss. That's why I'm so confused.' She reached down atroktroked her locket as she wished her grandma wendy were here to speak to. Tears came into her eyes as she started to worry about how she could convince the captain to go home. The sound of the door opening forced Elanor out of her thoughts. She saw Smee holding a man's shirt and trousers along with woman undergarment's.

"The captain ordered me to give you some clothes and as soon as your ready, he wants you to scrub the deck."

"He doesn't waste any doe does he?" Elanor said as she smiled at Smee.

Smee smiled sheepishly, "Nay, miss. Now hurry and change into these clothes. Smee turned to leave, but was surprised when he heard Elanor beg him to wait.

"Smee, can you convince the captain to let me go? I have to go home, I don't belong here. I have a life back home and I'll be miserable if I'm away from my family." Elanor's blue eyes shined with unshed tears as she held her breathe, waiting for his response.

Smee shook his head sadly, "I'm afraid that once the captain makes a decision it's final. I'm sorry to break it to you lass, but you will never go home again." Elanor watched him leave in silence as she began to bury her face in the shirt she had been given. As she sobbed into the shirt Elanor was able to smell the captain's scent.

'I hate him' Elanor thought, as she unconsciously buried her face deeper into his shirt. She felt her heart breaking at the thought of not seeing her family again. Her sadness stabbed into her heart and Elanor felt helpless and fearful as she thought about her future. Slowly her legs began to lose it's strength and she slid down to the ground on her knees. Elanor pitifully rocked back and forth as her pain consumed her soul.

Hook's pov


Hook stood near the door to his quarter's after Smee left. He had heard the conversation between Smee and the wench. Then he heard the girl as she began to cry quietly in his cabin. Hook felt something inside him and he grew uncomfortable listening to her cry. He became irritated by his confusing thoughts and feelings.

'C'mon old boy, she's just an annoying girl...she'll get used to the idea that she belongs to you now...' Hook smiled at his thought. He heard a quiet thump from his room and he could still hear her crying. Growing annoyed he let out an irritated growl and pushed the door open.

Elanor looked up immediately and he was struck by the innocence and the sadness eminating from her deep blue gaze. Hook immediately put hird, rd, unforgiving face on...she needed to take her mind off her emotions. "Put your clothes on now, wench." Hook saw her mouth open and anticipating he words he cut her off and said, "I can and will force you to put on your clothes and wash the deck. If you don't put on your clothes right now, I'll do it myself...and believe me, I'njoynjoy it." He watched her as she blushed with anger and embarassment.

Brushing her tears away, Elanor's voice was laced with anger as she said, "Fine, turn around." Hook smirked as he turned around. He heard her as she made herself presentable. Hook heard some silence so he assumed she was done...he turned around and he found that he made a mistake.

Elanor had all her clothes on except her shirt wasn't buttoned all the way. Elanor stood before him in sh Fr From what Hook could tell, one of the buttons were giving her trouble and he walked toward her. He pushed her hands away and slowly began to adjust the button correctly. Looking deep in her eyes, he slowly began to button up slowly. During this process his hand carressed her skin with light touches across her abdomen. As he reached higher the back of his hand was about to brush against her breast, but she held his hand in place.

Looking up to meet his gaze, Elanor softly said, "I think I can take it from here." Her voice held some accusation as she said, "thank for your...assistance, Captain." Hook

Hook unexpectedly lifted her hand that was still intertwined with his and kissed the inside of her palm. His sharp eyes watched her as her own eyes widened in surprised and her mouth opened slightly as she gasped in surprise. "Your welcome, now you will work pet. Follow me." Hook demanded as he walked through his cabin door.

Elanor looked down at her palm and ran to catch up with Captain Hook.
