Thanks for reading, everyone. I know this is VERY short, but I suppose you could say it's a teaser.
Please R&R if you think I should continue.
If I do, I can promise you this will NOT be like all the other Jack Lives stories.
Give it a chance? It's up to you.
Rose awoke to an icy blast of sound waves shaking her log refuge.
"Is anyone alive?" called a mysterious voice that sounded like the heaven Rose had been waiting for. She slowly brushed the ice of her eyes with brittle hands and cleared the frozen tears that held her vision hostage.
A boat in the distance bobbed along the sea of bodies and debris. Rose's stomach sickened at the thought and chill of death. What if her beloved Jack had the same fate?
She turned her head, bracing herself towards where she had last seen her love and her heart swarmed with grief. The worst had come.
His eyes were sealed shut, as though he was in a deep winter sleep with frost enclosing his body like a thin glaze coating. He looked so peaceful, yet Rose knew he was exactly the opposite.
"Jack.." she called to him hoarsely, resting her head on the still strong hand of Jack, her tears freezing immediately to him, joining their bodies together.
"Jack!" she called louder into the air, sobs emitting openly. Yet he still remained in hibernation.
"Come back!" she screeched several times, her voice crackling the icy stiffness of death. But Jack wasn't coming back. He was gone.
The boat came closer, and with a sickening realization, Rose realize she was too weak to take her lover along to the boat with her. She'd have to leave him.
She embraced every inch of him detailed in her memory, every sob carrying more pain. She kissed his lifeless hand softly before prying his body from its frozen prison and whispering a few well chosen words.
"I'll never let go. I promise."
Her hands lost the grasp of his, the slippery connection breaking. She watched him slowly sink into the horrors and depth of rock bottom, and felt her heart do the same.
She finally drifted towards the boat into a daze before her heart nearly stopped.
She hadn't checked for a pulse.
Down into the murky abyss of water Jack sank. Ten feet, twenty feet, more. His tendons began to freeze together and his desperate heart slowed.
Jack suddenly awoke from his hibernation with a shock, the icy waters stabbing his weak lungs. She sputtered taking in more water in as he strained his newly awakened eyes to the surface.
A shot of warmth shot through his body. Maybe Rose was waiting to great him.
He slowly flexed his muscles, bringing himself back to life.
The ice coat fell off in layers, floating to the surface. A shattered outline of Jack.
He didn't have much time and he furiously kicked at the depths beneath him, pushing through his greatest challenge. His lungs swelled in a desperate need for oxygen. A few more kicks and he broke the icy surface, just in time to see a freezing young red head speed off into the distant mist.
He helplessly tried to call out to her, but his mouth hushed all sound and gushed water.
He passed out for lack of oxygen shortly after he spotted another rescue ship coming his way.
