CullenGirl: Well, here I am, yet again…I recently saw a documentary on the Discovery Channel on the Titanic and since the ship has had a place in my heart since I saw the movie at the age of seven. I've also come to realize that the officers really interest me, both in the movie and real life. I've read a few fanfics on here that are amazing so I've decided to try my own hand at writing a fanfic for it. In the movie, my favorite Officers are Mudoch, Lowe, and Moody, in that order, and this story is going to be for Murdoch. I hope it's not like the other ones out there, I really don't think it will be. I am also going to say this now: I DO NOT MEAN ANY DISRESPECT TO ANY OF TITANIC'S CREW OR PASSENGERS AS I WRITE THIS STORY AND MY STORY IS BASED ON THE MOVIE! I don't own anything from the movie, its James Cameron's. I'm just having fun.
I stared out of the window of the car as my mother sat beside me, talking about something or another. I wasn't really paying attention, and I knew that she knew as well, but, that's the nice thing about her, she doesn't act like every other first class woman does to their daughters.
"Anne, are you listening?" she asked me gently, a smile on her face as I slowly turned to face her.
"I'm sorry, Mother, I wasn't. What were you saying?" I asked her in return, smiling as well. Perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is Anne Sophronia Winters. I am a nineteen year old woman, unmarried. Many people think this is very weird, but my mother is completely satisfied that I'm not. She has always told me that she will not force me to marry for money, ever since I was ten years old, but that she would rather I marry for love, since she and my father loved each other very much. My father passed away when I was eight, but he had left us enough for us to be taken care of.
"I was saying, this is going to be a great change for us, darling. You've never been to America, and to be going on the Titanic…" she trailed off with a smile on her face. I smiled as well as I nodded, thinking about everything. I had yet to meet a man that I truly loved, no matter how many asked for my hand in marriage, and I was hoping that I could meet someone in America that stole my heart.
"Yes, Titanic is called the ship of dreams" I whispered, thinking of my own dreams. I wanted to marry, don't mistake that, but I do want it to be for love, with a man who could accept me for me, my outspoken ways and not a man who'd expect me to be nothing more than a possession of his. I smiled slightly, wishing that I could meet the man of my dreams. I had no idea that my wishes and prayers were being answered…
Yeah, short chapter. Mostly a quick introduction. I'm going to jump ahead a bit, probably after Anne is on board, but, meh, I'm not sure yet. Also! Check out the authors Mystical Myst and Titanic Titaness. They've written three of my most favorite stories and I highly recommend them!
