Faye woke up feeling safe and warm, she was so relaxed. 'Everything must have just been a bad dream.' She thought as she savored the last few moments of sleep she had in her. 'I'm still in the castle, safe in my warm bed. Any minute Maratha will come in with my breakfast and she will start ranting about how a princess should never sleep this late.' She smiled opening her eyes slightly. 'Why hasn't she come in yet?' She thought sitting up, but something around her waist held her down.

She looked around and her eyes widened in surprise. Captain Spiegel was lying next to her, his arms around her waist, and oh my...he didn't have a shirt on. Faye stared for a minute 'Wow, he has a very nice body.' She thought before she realized the situation. She gasped as she lifted her hand and sent it flying down with all her might at his face.

Just before it made contact a hand grabbed her wrist and Spike said, "Better watch yourself, Princess. You might get hurt." Her eyes grew wide as his eyes opened and he looked into her jade eyes.

"You b$##$!" She shouted, raising her other hand to make contact with his face.

She failed miserably again. He grabbed her wrist and flipped on top of her, while she struggled to get out of his dominate grasp. "Listen, Princess, if I were you, I'd learn my place. I don't want to do something that you might..." He looked her over once, "Regret." She just stared at him in amazement at what he had just done, and he took that as an 'I understand' from her. Rolling off her, he sat up on, legs over the side of the bed, and pulled his shoes on. He then walked out of the room.

Faye just laid there, thinking about what had just happened.

'Stupid girl,' Spike thought as he climbed the stairs from his cabin to the deck. 'She doesn't know what she's gotten herself into.'

"Captain, the masts are open and we are riding at full sail. Home has been spotted and we're awaiting command to pull in." Shawn, a hard working crew member said, approaching Spike.

"Yes, very well, procede at full sail and we should be there before noon." Spike replied.

"Yes sir." Shawn said quickly and ran off to tell the rest of the crew.

'Home, Julia is really gonna love the fact that I have the Princess here. Heh, I'm gonna be in so much trouble. But hey, there's always the make up afterwards.' He smirked as he made his rounds about the ship.

Faye had been looking around the cabin trying to find different things to do, when she found a little book in the corner of the room. Intrigued, she picked it up and examined it carefully. It was covered in dust. She blew it off, and found the cover blank. "Hmm...what's this?" Faye asked herself as she fingered the lock on the side of the book. She walked over to the table sitting in the middle of the room and took a seat in the chair she had sat in the night before.

Pulling lightly on the lock, she found to her surprise, easily opened it. He curiosity now starving for more, she looked around and opened the book. It looked like a diary of some sort.

April 29

I have been awarded the title of the Dread Pirate Spiegel today. I don't know what I am going to do! I did not come into this business to harm anyone in any way, and yet I find myself with such a name a Dread Pirate Spiegel. I guess that's what happens when you take what you want, and take no prisoners.

She stopped reading here, 'He didn't want to be the person he is today? What could have happened to make him okay with this then?' Faye wondered as she flipped through the Captain's journal. She knew this was an invasion of privacy, but he kidnapped her, so she had every right to make his life a living hell.

The next entry was about a girl named Julia, then about a place called "Paraíso Del Pirata", an island in the middle of the ocean that you can't find unless you already know where it is. It said that the only people that knew how to get there was the Captain and Shin, his best friend. She wondered if that was where they were headed. One entry caught her eye though.

It's finally happened! Julia agreed to come to Paraíso Del Pirata and live there with me! I am the happiest man on earth right now. I feel as if I have wings. My crew is worried about me, I have been told. I have been walking around the ship all day acting like I was on cloud 9. Well, I was, and still am. God, this is the best feeling in the world! As I sit here writing this, she is all I can think of. She's absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. And I can't wait until the day that she and I are together forever.

"Wow, he really loves her doesn't he...?" She thought, a weird feeling in her stomach.

'Oh no, he's coming back down here!' She thought as she quickly threw the diary on the other side of the room after replacing the lock. The door flew open and Captain Spiegel was standing there, a big smile on his face. She glared half-heartedly at him and watched him as he advanced across the room to the port hole window across from her.

"Come, Princess, take a look at your temporary home." He opened the window, offering his hand to her. She walked past him and ignored his hand, glancing out the window. "Beautiful isn't it." He said. "That's Paraíso Del Pirata, Paradise of the Pirate. My home, and yours for a short time."

The strip of land before her was completely covered in green. It was absolutally beautiful from where she was standing! The water was so clear, she could see all the way to the white sand at the bottom. Small Angel Fish swam quickly by the boat. The same white sand continued up to the coast of the beautiful island. Thick trees and vines quickly stopped the continuation of sand. Glistening shells laid on the sea shore. A gentle sea breeze blew the mist onto her face as she looked out the window. She could smell the beauty of the ocean. She closed her eyes, and took in the sent of her surroundings. It was all so amazing.

The breeze stopped as she heard Captain Spiegel shut the window. "Well, I hope you like your new home, Princess, because at the rate we're going, you're going to be here for a very long time." He stated bluntly as he left her to watch the island come slowly closer.

'I hope that I don't like it here...because...I may want to stay...' Faye thought as she turned back to the bookshelves to fine herself a book to read.
