Let me start of by saying that Titanic is my favourite movie of all time. I have read many Titanic stories here about the officers and such and I really wanted to do my own. I chose First Officer William Murdoch to be the lead in my story because I'm Scottish myself and I read that he didn't shoot himself like he did in the movie and also I felt he deserved better so hopefully this story will do him some justice. Ok now on with the summary.

Allison Smith is the 19 year old granddaughter of Captain Edward Smith. With both her parents dead, she was raised by her grandma and granddad. Her grandfather decides to allow her to accompany him on his final voyage before he retires. She has always dreamed about the day when she could accompany her grandfather on one of his voyages and now that day has come. Once on the ship she meets First Officer William Murdoch and things take off from there.

19 year old Allison Smith woke up to the sound of her maid Anna waking her up. She had been dreaming about Titanic and now the day had finally come. She was excited to be accompanying her grandfather on his last voyage before he retired. She was proud of everything her grandfather had achieved in his many years as a sailor and she was honoured to be accompanying him. She was snapped out of her thoughts by her maid addressing her.

"Miss Allison, your grandfather has asked me to get you up, bathed and dressed in time for breakfast. Your bath is already waiting for you. Will you be requiring any help miss?"

"No Anna thank you. I will call for you when I'm finished."

"Very well miss." Anna left the room as Allison was getting out of bed. She grabbed a towel on her way to the bathroom.. She took off her clothes and climbed into the bathtub. Once in, she allowed the hot water to relax her muscles and she proceeded to wash her hair and body. Once finished, she got out and dried herself off put on her undergarments and called for Anna to help her into her corset. Anna pulled out a few of Allison's travelling suits.

"Which one would you like to wear miss?"

"Hmmm. That one." Allison pointed to a navy blue travelling suit with black pinstripes, black gloves, a pair of black shoes and a big navy blue hat with a blue peacock feather. Anna helped her into her suit and proceed to work on Allison's hair. She put Allison's hair up in an elegant fashion with her mother's hair pin and to finish her off some light makeup.

"I will finish packing the rest of your things miss. Your grandfather will be waiting for you."

"Have you already packed your things Anna?"

"Of course I have miss. Don't you worry about that. Now you better not keep your grandfather waiting."

Allison chuckled, "Right you are Anna." She left Anna to pack her things and proceeded down stairs to meet her grandfather for breakfast.

Captain Smith rose from his chair the moment Allison entered the dining room to greet his granddaughter. "Allison my dear you look lovely." He gave Allison a hug.

"Thank you papa." She pulled away from her grandfather to sit down and have some breakfast. She was drinking her tea when her grandfather spoke up.

"I wish your grandmother could be here with us today. She'd be so proud of you and I know your parents would be as well."

"I know. I wish they were here to." She looked down into her tea, a sad expression etched across her face. Her grandfather notices this and reaches out to take her hand.

"It's ok Allison. They are watching us from above I promise you." She looked up to face her grandfather and gave him a warm smile which he returns. "That's my girl. Now hurry up and finish your breakfast. We have to leave soon."

Allison nods her head in acknowledgement and finishes off her breakfast. At the moment she finished off her breakfast, the drivers arrived to load their trunks into the cars and take them to Southampton docks.

After a very long drive, they finally reach Southampton and Allison is awestruck with the view she is met with. There was Titanic in all her glory. She was simply amazed by Titanic's beauty that she didn't notice the driver standing there holding out his hand to her. She mumbled a sorry to the driver and reached for his hand to get out the car. She noticed her grandfather waiting for her at the gangplank then turned to Anna.

"It's ok miss. I will take care of this."

"Are you sure Anna?"

"Yes miss. Now go, your grandfather is waiting for you."

Allison turned and made her way over to her grandfather who held out his arm to her. She took it and they walked up the gangplank. It wasn't crowded as they were there early due to the fact the Captain obviously had to be there. Once inside Titanic, she looked to her grandfather who looked immensely proud. She smiled at him then he took her to the bridge to introduce her to the other officers.

All the officers were on the bridge making sure everything was in working order for Titanic to set sail. They all stopped what they were doing when they noticed the Captain approaching and saluted him. The Captain returns the gesture.

"Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to my granddaughter, Allison." He nods to every officer as he introduces them.

"This is Sixth Officer James Moody. Third Officer Herbert Pitman. Second Officer Charles Lightoller. Chief Officer Henry Wilde. Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall. Fifth Officer Harold Lowe." Each officer kissed her hand upon introduction.

"And last but not least First Officer William Murdoch." She looked up to face the man her grandfather introduced her to as William Murdoch and was greeted by a pair of beautiful blue eyes. The moment their eyes locked, it felt she could feel something creeping into her soul.

I hope you all enjoyed that. Sorry that it's so short but I promise that the other chapters will be longer. Constructive criticism is appreciated. I love hearing what you guys think of my stories whether you enjoyed it or not. Anyway I'll try and have the net chapter up as soon as I can. Oh and please check out some of the other Titanic stories out there. I guarantee their amazing.
