The first thing Johnny did when he felt the odd sensation was wrap his firm arms around Izzy’s waist and pull her close against him. He wasn’t sure if this was some New World technology or whatnot, and he would be damned if he was going to let her get hurt in any way. As blackness surrounded them, he felt Izzy go limp in his arms and he pushed his brow together, his deep chocolate eyes pooling with concern. What had happen? Why had she slipped into unconsciousness? The falling only lasted a moment until the two hit something soft. Johnny managed to shift his body so she landed on top of him, and he caught most of the brute force. Luckily for him, what he landed on appeared to be some sort of queen-sized bed, with rich, wine-colored covers.

Johnny’s grip on the sleeping woman never wavered, but he cocked his head to the side, trying to take in everything he could without shifting around too much. The first thing he caught sight of was a large, wooden desk that appeared to be nailed into the wooden floor. A few papers sat on top of the flat surface, along with a globe of some sort. When he cast his eyes downward, there were four different trunks, also nailed into the wooden floor, that contained various articles of clothing. And finally, he caught sight of a window on the side of a wooden wall, a squared window with sunlight spilling into the room, painted against a clear, blue sky.

Johnny concentrated for a long moment, staring up at the wooden ceiling. Instead of looking for anything, he finally closed his eyes and simply listened and smelled. He could hear the soft lulling of familiar waves ocean meshed with far-off calls that resembled sea gulls. He smelled…freshness, salt. He was on a boat of some kind. He had to be. On the ocean. But where was he? Somewhere in the new world, or…?

A soft whimper came out of Izzy’s slightly parted mouth, but when Johnny looked down to capture her face within his gaze, she looked nothing past peaceful. Without conferring with Johnny’s control, a soft smile touched his lips. He realized she was capable of making him happy without doing anything, really. Just her being alive caused his heart to swell, and he didn’t understand why, but he didn’t feel that he needed to. Speaking of which, he took his index and middle fingers and pressed them gently on the column of her throat so he could make sure she was alive and her breathing was steady.

It was.

A swell of relief surged through his body and he felt a sigh slip past his lips. He shifted her body slightly so it wasn’t on him anymore. However, her head was tucked just underneath his arm, and seemed to fit there almost perfectly. Though Johnny was never one for cuddling, he felt a warm, comfortable sensation with her next to him like this. Now
