Prologue-Helga
I'm Helga, and I'm a passenger on the Titanic. I have my family with me, and I have fallen in love with the most amazing man I've ever met. It was love at first sight, and ever since then we've grown closer.
I lay in my bed, eyes open, just thinking about him. Fabrizio, my true love. His brown hair, his beautiful hazel eyes, and the feeling I get when he kisses me... it gives me butterflies like I've never felt before... Whenever he holds my hand, or has his arm around my shoulder, I feel warm and fuzzy inside.
As I think about this, the ship shakes violently and I sit up immediately, looking outside the window. I don't even know what happens but I'm bathed in a shining white light and I hear a sound so terrible I fall to the floor, feeling slightly dizzy. The high-pitched sound continues, growing louder with each passing moment. Soon, I just shut my eyes, praying it will stop.
"Vennligst... Vennligst..." I whisper, and the world seems to jerk in a swift movement, and I fall on my back, my hands remain pressed to my ears and my eyes shut tight.
Soon, there's nothing but silence.
My eyes crack open to a bright light, and I realize a pretty girl stands over me.
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I nod, sitting up.
"Hvor jeg er?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. When I look around, I don't recognize anything. It doesn't even look like I'm on a ship at all.
"Umm... I don't know exactly what you said, but you're at Lake Michigan... Why?" she asks, I tilt my head, puzzled.
"Hva er Lake Michigan?" I ask, still confused.
"You're not from here, are you?" I shake my head and she smiles. "What did you say? I speak only English."
"Where is Lake Mi..." I trail off, forgetting the name. She just smiles and laughs.
"Lake Michigan is a lake in Michigan. A state in the U.S. It's 2020. Are you sure you don't need a doctor?" she says, examining me closely as if to check for injuries.
"Nei, takk." I reply. Her eyes narrow and she helps me up. "Vent-Year 2020?" I ask, and she nods. "Dette er umulig!" I gasp.
Either this was a dream, or I had jumped forward in time.
More people will come later, she's just the first one they found! But there will be lots more characters! Please R&R!
