Jack and the gang are finally here….

Chapter Four

Aboard The Black Pearl in the middle of the Caribbean. 1663

Gibbs steered the Black Pearl as Captain Jack Sparrow nursed a hangover, the third in four days.

"He keeps drinking he's gonna end up dying" Gibbs told Marty as he came up to give Gibbs his flask of whiskey.

"You're one to talk Gibbs." Marty told him. Gibbs shrugged as he drained the flask and looked back to the horizon and Marty walked back below deck, slamming the door.

Xander woke to a door slamming above him. He groaned as he sat up to see where he was, that's when he noticed a small feminine figure on the other side of the room he was currently in. After watching the figure for a few minutes, curiosity finally got the better of him and he stood up to see who it was. When he got close enough, he saw that the person was a woman with raven hair that went just past her shoulders, or at least that was his guess as it was kind of hard to determine the length when she was lying face down on the floor. He also noticed that she was wearing black leather pants and a black cropped leather jacket. He was about to roll her over when he heard the woman groan and began to turn over herself. It surprised him to see that this woman was the same one he had been searching for back in Sunnydale for the past four years.

"Faith?" Xander whispered as he knelt next to her. He was ecstatic to notice he had his voice back as well.

"What?" Faith whispered as she slowly opened her dark brown eyes. "Xand…what's going on?…Where are we?" she said while trying to sit up.

"I have no idea, I think we're on a ship or something." He told her calmly while helping her to sit up, and moving behind her, so that her back was leaning against his chest, to make sure she didn't fall again.

"What happened to your eye?" Faith mumbled before passing out.

Xander watched as Faith's eyes rolled back and she passed out. He noticed Lydia had been right about Faith being the same age as she was when she disappeared. It made Xander wonder how old Faith actually was, since she never mentioned her age to any of the Scoobies before. Xander also started to wonder where they were and when, especially since the ship was made out of wood. As he sat there holding Faith against his chest, he started to also wonder if Dawn had made it safely to Willow's house. 'I should stop thinking…not good for my health.' Was his last thought before he fell asleep, joining Faith.
