Thanks to everyone who read and those who added it to their alerts it really meant a lot. Sorry it's taken me a week to get this part up but it seems like Sunday may be my writing day so I hope you don't mind the wait.

Thanks again, comment if you'd like too

They all sat around the table, a half eaten sea food feast spread out before them. Oliver picked up his glass raising it in the air he began his toast.

"To a wonderful adventure"

Kaia turned to the girl sitting to her right. A best friend since childhood, collage room mates, Nancy was pretty much family, the sister she's never had.

"This mysterious adventure they're always talking about" she winked as they clinked glasses. "So when big brother, are you going to tell us all about this so called adventure?" Kaia asked as she lifted her glass to meet her brothers.

"Oh Kai your so impatient, all in good time, all in good time. He assured her, till then just lay back and enjoy the sunshine. I promise you one thing though where we're going is like no where you've ever been before."

"I'm not sure I like the sound of this" Kaia frowned "You two are plotting something I just know it" Her gaze swing from Oliver to Jay who's grin only grew wider with her frustration.

Jay slipped his hand in to the pocket of his cut off jeans, the piece of paper was still there, details of paradise the island they'd heard whispers about all over the pacific. Some had spoken of a place as wonderful as heaven itself; others described it as a place closer to hell. What ever it was he was determined to find out for himself. It had taken him days of searching to find someone who could tell him where this fabled isle may be. Many spoke as if I was just a myth or story passed down through the generations. There was one though who said she knew how they could find it, one who said she could take them there when so many others couldn't. Jay's eyes met Mali's who was dreamily pushing what was left of her dinner around her plate. He'd known from the moment he'd spoken to her that he had to persuade Oliver to let her come along. That hadn't been hard as Oliver had been as equally taken by her sister, and was never one to say no to the idea of adventure.

Mali's lips turned up at the corners a grin spreading across her face fascinating and beautiful, how easy it had been to use these men to her advantage.

Silence fell over the group, all six contemplating their own reasons for being there as the yacht rocked gently through the waves.

"She's still breathing" Locke tilted back the head of the half drowned girl, opening her airway's to make her struggled flow for oxygen a little easier.

"Wonder where our little mermaids washed up from?" Sawyer looked out to sea, but there was nothing, apart from the scattered wreckage on the beach. The water itself was clear and undisturbed, not as much as a clump of sea weed floating on its surface.

"We need to get her back to camp" Locke touched the young girls arm her skin was cold, a drastic contrast to the already scorching heat of the day. Death was on this girls heal and if they couldn't get her back quickly then its icy hand's would soon claim her.

"Wow wait a minute there, doesn't any of this seem a little strange to you?" Sawyer looked down at the girl unable to shake the feeling that something here just didn't feel right. "She could be anyone, how do we even know this isn't all some kind of set up and she's been sent here to spy" Locke ignored him, effortlessly scooping the girl up in his arms.

"Well fine" Sawyer shouted after him as he began to walk up the beach and back to the camp "As always let's not listen to Sawyer"

Locke stopped and turned back to face him "So you just want to leave her here to die? Leave her not knowing where she's come from or why she's here"

Sawyer took another look at the girl in Locke's arms, her skin so pale she looked as fragile as a porcelain doll.

"Doesn't look like she could do much damage anyway, but someone need to be watching her till we know what the hell this baby doll's doing here"
