He looked back at her and saw her staring into his eyes. The question she asked was one of the toughest for him. He decided to tell her the truth, "I have watched as I used to sail across the oceans like I was searching for something even though I wasn't. I had been lying to myself, or rather living a lie. When I saw you, I saw you struggling to break free from your bonds and live the life I was pretending to have for so many years. I thought by helping you, I might just understand what it was."

Anna smiled "wow. Well thank you. I would say I owe it to you but I patched you up and you said we were even." She was still looking in his eyes she then too k a sip of the rum that was still in her hand then looked back at the sea speechless.

Julian took a deep breath and started to get up. He stood up and looked around at the island. He then looked back at Anna and said, "Well, seems we will be stuck here for a while. What do you know about the island that can help us?"

Anna took another sip of the rum before speaking. "well not much really my dad went into the jungle back there to look for food and thats about it." She said not remembering much of the stories her father told her.

He thought about it for a while and heard her sip the rum again. He bent down and grabbed the bottle and smiled as he spoke, "Easy on the rum there Anna... at least till we find some fresh water. He took a small sip himself and handed it back." Alright, we need to find a rock formation of a kind so we can stay off storms and a fresh water stream for what. "Lets go, you keep a sharp eye out and see if you can remember where your father stayed."

Anna smiled and corked the rum, she got up "Ok he made a cabin in the jungle near a waterfall for him and mother to leave in when i was born.. Who knows if it still standing after all these years. But he left makers on the trees using the blood of the animals he killed." She said as she walked to the tree where the rum came from. Anna climbed the tree and pulled the rope so the rum was safe in the tree. Once she was done tying it up she climbed back down dusting her self off she looked at Julian "Well ready to look for that cabin?"

Julian turned to Anna as she talked about the cabin with surprise and asked, "You were born here, on this island? Well, I guess its a good place to start looking. I hope its still standing. If I guess right, it should be close to the coast. The deeper you get into the jungle the more problems you have. He checked his swords and gun and found the powder to be wet. The swords would have to do for now.
He smiled as she secured the rum and and nodded at her question. Why don't you lead the way. I will keep an eye out for a stream we can follow to a waterfall.

Anna headed towards the jungle, she knocked on the first three trees till she found a hollow one she reached into the hole and pulled out a mashetty and began to hack her why through the jungle. She turned to Julian to explain where she was born "actually i was born on the ship. Thats when he retired....died...."She said with a wink.

"Oh I see", he replied with a smile. He let her take the lead as she cleared the path through the jungle. "Hey stop for a moment!", he said and when she did he listened. "Hear that? Come on...", he added and moved a bit to the side. Very soon they came up upon a stream flowing towards the sea. He smiled and looked back at Anna would had followed him here.
He spoke, "We should follow the stream up to see if we can find a waterfall."

He smiled and replied, "You know I am no longer a captain. I have no ship to captain..."
He moved ahead, walking next to the stream. Very soon it became a bit more torrent and he knew they were coming up to a steep in the flow. Within a few minutes they were at broken waterfall. He looked around and saw a still standing hut close to it. He smiled and turned to Anna and said, "Well, lucky for us, that looks usable."

Anna looked at him and smiled as the approached the hut. It was still very much preserved and usable. She walked up to it and up the stairs to the door, the stairs creaked as she walked on them.

Julian followed her quietly inside, letting her familiarize and see again the place where she had been raised as an infant.
