Englehorn Fan fiction (A Lovers Voyage)
By Chloe Jackson
Chloe Bocock walked down the New York leading to hers and her friends apartment.
"Chloe!"
Chloe turned around and found her friend Ann Darrow walking towards her with a man following next to her.
"Ann! Whose this?"
"Carl Denham……Film Director" The man answered her, holding out his hand.
"Chloe Bocock" She smiled back at him, shaking his hand.
"Chloe pack your bags. I've been offered a part in a film, that's been made in Singapore. We're leaving straight away!" Ann smiled excitedly at her.
Chloe grinned back.
"Ann that's amazing! Just one thing I don't understand….Why am I joining you?" Chloe asked, as the 3 of them now continued walking towards there apartment.
"Simple. I don't want to go to Singapore on my own. You're my best friend….Why shouldn't you come?" Ann grinned at her.
"Well, I guess I am packing my bags then. If that's alright with you Mr. Denham?" Chloe smiled at the film director.
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't. Now ladies I'm really sorry, but I must rush you, we are on a extremely tight schedule" Carl rushed them down the street, and into there apartment.
Within half an hour, Carl, Ann and Chloe arrived at the port ready to set sail for Singapore.
"Is this the moving picture ship?" Ann asked looking at a huge ship waiting to leave in front of them.
"Er no, its actually this one here ' Carl Denham lead them over to a much smaller ship that looked a lot more shabby than the huge liner ship before.
'Don't let appearances deceive you, its much more spacious on-board" Carl told them both, then left to talk to a man.
"This is going to be a uncomfortable journey" Chloe sighed at Ann and looked at the boat.
"Ann you sure you should be doing this?" Chloe asked her friend.
"Chloe don't worry, Jack Driscoll is writing the film" Ann smiled back at her.
As Ann smiled at her Chloe noticed a man, a very handsome man who also looked like the captain of the ship, start to walk over to them both.
"Good evening ladies. My name is Captain Englehorn and this is my ship. Your names are?" He asked in a accent that Chloe recognised as German.
"Ann Darrow"
"Chloe Bocock, friend of the star" She smiled at him warmly.
The captain lingered looking at Chloe a little and then looked at the both of them.
"Are you ready for this voyage?" He asked them both, Chloe frowned whilst Ann answered.
"Yea" Ann confidently answered.
"Not every women would take such a risk"
Chloe continued frowning, and was about to speak until Carl Denham pushed his assistant Preston over towards them.
"Let me show you both to your rooms, here let me take your bags for you, follow me please" He quickly said to them both taking there bags of them.
Chloe lingered a little while in front of Englehorn contemplating whether or not to ask what he meant with what he had just said, but her feet got the better of her and she began following Ann. Once Chloe turned, she saw Ann hesitating about whether or not to go on the boat, as Chloe walked over to Ann, Ann began slowly walking on the boat.
"You ok?" Chloe asked from behind Ann.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Not been on a boat in a while that's all" Ann lied to her friend.
Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, that's what's wrong" She said quietly to herself as they now stood foot on the boat.
"If you'll follow me ladies then I can quickly show you where your going to be staying. Now Miss Darrow I'll show you where you are staying first, as for you Miss Bocock I don't actually know where you are staying yet, because Carl didn't let any of us know that we had another joining us. I am sorry" Preston explained as they made there way down the tiny packed corridor.
"Ok, that's fine I suppose" Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I think that the Captain is going to find somewhere for you to stay' Preston told her as he began opening a door to a room.
'Here we are Miss Darrow. Sorry its so small but all the rooms on this ship are all the same size" Preston put her bags down on the floor and then looked at Chloe.
"If you stay here, the captain will be down shortly to show you to where you are staying" And with that Preston left them both, standing in the small room.
"Well, like I said this is going to be comfy!" Chloe smiled at Ann.
"Oh what are we gonna do……This room is tiny. Its going to get boring after a week" Ann moaned sitting down on the bed.
"I don't know. I think it's going to be fun!" Chloe smiled to herself thinking how good-looking she thought the captain was.
"I know why your saying that Chloe. I saw the way that the Captain looked at you. What's his name? Englehorn. Now that's not an American name and his accent certainly isn't" Ann grinned at her friend.
"He's German" Chloe quietly said.
"Where your from….Except you chose to loose your accent and change your surname" Ann said to her, looking around in her bag.
"Yeah well, I needed a change……Ann what are you doing?" Chloe asked frowning.
"I've got to look nice for my meeting with Jack Driscoll"
"Honestly Ann! You don't even know if he's staying on the ship! He might have been long gone now!" She replied to her friend, whilst looking out of the window.
"Well, a girl can hope!" Ann grinned.
"We're moving……There's no turning back now" Chloe softly said.
"You could always jump over board?" She heard a male voice behind her.
Chloe turned around and saw Captain Englehorn standing in the doorway.
"I'd rather stay on board thank you" She answered grimly.
"That's your choice. Now I'll show you to my room" Englehorn said picking up her bags.
"Excuse me?"
"That's where your staying. Now if you don't mind I'd like to get a move on" He simply said and then turned and began walking down the corridor.
