Hello again! I kinda got caught up in the beginning of the story so I wrote this chapter today! I know it's short, but most beginnings are like that! Just to note, the normal story format is Kora's POV, yet I do like to let other characters speak their view, but i've marked them.

This is for my first 2 reviewers, thanks!

I opened my eyes, thinking I was a spirit on the other side. Yet that was what I thought, but in all reality I was alive still, with bandages around my head and abdomen with plenty of pain to accompany them. I looked around slightly from where I was laying into a dimly lit room. I heard whispers of two male voices.

"Capt'n, she's awake...," a rusty-voiced man said from my side.

I tried to sit up, but my body told me otherwise.

"Where am I," I uttered into the darkness.

The shadows of the men were drawing closer to me. I tried to get a better look at them but my eyes haven't adjusted to the lighting of the room yet.

"Rest luv, all will be explained once you've slept the night through," replied a younger yet mysterious sounding man.

Half of me wanted to just let my eyes close and allow myself to drift off, but I needed answers. I opened my mouth to speak up, but I was stopped by a highly-ringed hand brushed against my lips. The little bit of candle light in the room lit up his tan face into my view. He had rich, dark brown eyes, a mustache with a goatee to match, and dreadlocked hair full of random trinkets.

"What's your name, luv?" he questioned

"Kora…Kora Baxter," I replied as best as I could since my throat only allowed me to say so much, the pain was intense.

"Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service,"

My eyes widened at what he said. Jack Sparrow, THE Jack Sparrow?! Oh shit, now what have I gotten myself into?! Hang on; aren't I supposed to be dead?

"What happened, why am I here…wherever I am?"

"I told you luv, in the morning"

What else was I to do, I closed my eyes and just let the dream spells take me over.

Jack POV

I watched as her eyes slowly shut and listened to her breathing become steadily relaxed. Poor lass, what would have provoked her to jump off a ledge like that? I know for a fact that she did not fall on accident; I watched the whole thing happen. Luckily me and the Black Pearl were docked by the coast out of site or she would have never survived the aftermath of the fall. Yet this wasn't the first time I've saved someone from falling from a great distance, but that's another tale. Hopefully she'll tell me why she jumped in the morning…

Gibbs POV

Damn Jack, bringing another lass on board…it's bad luck enough havin' Anamaria 'ere!


Heh, I threw in Gibb's POV for the hell of it, lol. go on now, review!
