It was 1898. A glorious year it had been so far. People were traveling to distant countries and gaining vast wealth.
Marie had just turned 17 and was looking forward to going overseas to the 'new world'. He parents hoped they would
make a greater fortune then they already had. Marie didn't care about this. She just wanted to see what this place looked
like.
Stepping out of the carriage she saw the ship she was going to be traveling on. It was called Eternity. She loved
the name of it since she heard of it. The ship was enormous. One of best ships available at the time.
"Marie! Stop dawdling!"
"Sorry, mother."
Her mother was always snappy with her. It was because they had not found a suitor for her yet. It wasn't Marie's
fault. She was the most beautiful girl you ever saw. It was just something about her men didn't like. She knew she was
different, but she didn't know how.
She walked up the plank to board the ship amazed by the shear size of it. She ran her gloved hair down the wood
panels and along the wallpaper. This place was amazing.
Her father opened the door to their room which had a joining room for her. She walked into her room as the stewards
placed her baggage on the floor. She shut the door behind them and leaped onto the bed as the ship left port.
The silk sheets on her skin was pure heaven. Yes, she had felt all this before, but it felt different. Different in
a way that was good. She knew something good was going to happen on this trip.
She pinned her hat onto her head and decided to go out and explore. Her parents wouldn't even know she was gone. She
left the room and started wondering down the halls.
Reaching the deck she looked at all the 3rd and 2nd class people walking below her. She smiled as the children ran
below her. Oh, how she wanted children. She cursed under her breath at her misfortune's in love.
She didn't act so lady like sometimes, but she was respectable enough to get where she wanted. It was for the fact
that she was weird in a way. Born with brown and white hair unusual for anyone at her age. Marie still didn't understand why
no one wanted her.
Wiping the tears off her cheek she went down the stairs to the lower deck. She knew she wasn't supposed to be there
especially without a male escort, but she didn't care.
She walked slowly in the warm breeze. It was nice day as always in June. Breathing in the salty sea air she turned
her attention to small children.
They were playing with a red ball. She didn't know what the game was, most likely it was made up. One little girl
tossed it over small boy's head and it landed at her feet. They stopped and stared at her.
Marie picked up the ball and tossed it back to the children. One little girl came up to her and regarded her with
bright, curious eyes.
"Do you want to play?" she asked. Marie knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't resist. She grabbed the girl's hand and
she led Marie to the game.
"I'm Jake, that's Bill, and that's Kerrie." the oldest boy said.
"I'm Marie." she smiled as he tossed the ball to her. She saw a man step out of the shadows.
"And I'm Remy."
