Kathleen Mitchell sat on the deck of Titantic, enjoying the cool night air. She loved travelling on ships, and Titantic was proving to be the best one she had ever sailed on. She didn't quite agree with everything else, God could, and would, sink the ship, if he so willed it. She breathed deeply, but calmly, and headed inside to where her cabin was.
"Man overboard! Man Overboard. Drop a life boat! Pull him up!" one of the sailors ordered to another.
Kathleen hurried to the side to get a good look. "The poor man must be freezing," Kathleen thought. She took off her shawl, determined to give it to the man.
As the person neared the top deck, she saw that the 'poor man' was actually a poor woman. "Oh my gosh, she looks like Lorna," Kathleen thought. She noticed definite similarites between her childhood friend, Lorna Hartford and this stranger. They were both brunettes, and had very similar facial features, but this stranger was quite a bit smaller than her friend. Even if it wasn't Lorna, they were most definitately related.
"Ma'am, what is your name? Can you hear me," the Second-in-Command asked.
The stranger looked at him, trying to talk but too cold to say a word. Kathleen gently put her shawl around her, and looked at her with a gentle concern. "I'll take care of her. She's too cold to give you any information now. I'll take her to the Captain personally after she is in better condiction," she told the man. He frowned, not knowing whether or not to agree, but finally relented. Kathleen studied the girl while they walked to Kathleen's room; her body trembled, her teeth chattered, she looked a little blueish, no doubt from her time in the water.
The girl looked up at Kathleen with a heart-wrenching 'help me' pout that made Kathleen pull the smaller woman even closer.
