I love Titanic. It has always been one of my favorite movies, and just recently I am up with this idea. I could really use suggestions for what should happen after the third or fourth chapter. I thought this would be an awesome story. Please, just read and review. Don't flame! It's only my first Titanic story!
Chapter One
April 5 1912, around 4 am.
Alicia lay quietly on the boat she had found…it had been turned over and was behind the ship when it was sinking, so no one had seen it. She shivered in her semi-wet clothes, even though she was covered by two coats that she was wearing. It was just so cold. Her long very dark brown hair clung to her head, and her curls were really frizzy. Her lips were almost as blue as her blue eyes. It was that cold.
She could see a women with red hair, just about her age, laying on her painting, and a man by her, most likely a man that probably felt sorry for her, holding on beside it. She could tell he was still alive, but just barely. His breathing was staggered, and he was almost completely blue faced. Alicia sat up, and tried to row over to them.
The red haired woman slowly wadded off of the floating painting, and over to a floating man who had a whistle in his frozen hand. Alicia looked over to see a wooden boat much like her own, coming back that way. Alicia saw the man the woman had been with was starting to slip off the painting. She couldn't bear to see the Atlantic Ocean take another person, so she slipped off her heavy dress as she dove into the icy cold water, only in her 'petticoat'.
She shivered, and nearly screamed as the cold water pierced her like knives. She wadded over to the man as he was still slipping. She grabbed his arm, just as he slide off. He felt so light, since he was unconscious. He still breathed shallowly, and couldn't hold onto her, so Alicia had to hold onto him to keep him from sinking in the ocean. She kept him close to her and pulled him along on top of her. Slowly, with great difficulty, she got back into her boat, and managed to get the man as well into it as well. She put her dress back on her over her wet clothes. She wrapped the coats around him, and sat herself on him, trying to give him some of her body heat. She look around to see if she could help the women as well, but she was already gone, and a boat many feet out was so far away.
Alicia sighed, and picked up a piece of wood floating not to far away. Somehow, just somehow she would have to make it through this. And she would make sure this man would live to see himself another birthday.
I know this is really short, but I'm just testing waters (lol, ocean pun) with this story and seeing if anyone will actually read this. I hope to get at least five reviews. Please guys? Then I'll post another chapter. Promise. Thank you and good night.
