Maddie followed her father through the crew passages, a lifebelt over her nightgown. She clutched her father's pocket watch in her hands, praying that the spirit of her mother would watch over them both.
"Please keep me safe, mama," she silently prayed, dodging the many maids and butlers hurrying to the lifeboat deck.
As if to answer her prayer, the passageway cleared and Mr. Andrews hurried to one place, the first class smoking room, with Maddie following close behind.
Upon their arrival, Mr. Andrews turned to his daughter. he still wore his lifebelt but threw it off.
"Madaline, I need you to take this. wear it, Because if I die, this will be the only way that I can protect you," he ordered, slipping off his gold wedding band.
Maddie took it and slipped it on her ring finger, feeling the gold resting on her heart and soul.
"You are the last of the Andrews line, so make our heritage count," he said, kissing her on the head.
"Now, run!" he added.
Maddie stood her ground.
"No. if I am the last of the Andrews, then I shall die like an Andrews," she said, shaking her head.
Her father stared at her, dumbstruck by her comment.
"So be it," he replied.
Maddie slipped off the wedding ring, holding it out to her father.
Mr. Andrews took the band and slipped it back onto his finger.
Maddie threw off her lifebelt, where it landed beside her fathers.
Her father leaned against the marble fireplace.
"Daddy, if we die, then at least we'll die together," Maddie said, laying a hand on her father's shoulder.
Mr. Andrews turned toward his daughter.
"You're quite right, my darling," he replied.
Maddie untied her bun, letting her brown hair flutter around her shoulders.
Midnight shifted gender, for possibly the final time.
The glass windows in the smoking room smashed, and the water poured in.
"I thought we had more time!" Maddie cried, losing her footing.
Mr. Andrews turned around, Oceania clinging to his shoulder.
The water rose higher and higher, throwing Maddie and her father against the wall.
She and her father struggled to swim against the rising water.
Just when Maddie's vision went black, she felt the cold water leave her.
When she opened her eyes, she was staring at a blue-eyed girl, who grinned.
"What's up?" she asked.
Maddie's eyes closed again and she blacked out, catching only two words before she went back under.
"Midnight Wolf,"
