Hello everyone! So recently ( say a few months ago ) I got into the story of the RMS Titanic! :D The topic intrigues me and so does the movie. Also, just saying that this story is like one of those adorable classic love stories with a little twist because I really wanted to read one but when I finished reading all of them on the site, I thought I might like to write one of my own! It is very different from anything else I've ever written before and I hope that I'm not the only one who likes it xD In case you needed to know, I have written quite a fair bit of the story already so the updates are mainly fuelled by your reviews! Also, this author's note is pretty long so I'm not talking anymore. I hope you will enjoy this story and please review if you did! :D

10 April 1912

Sitting in the automobile, Elizabeth grinned widely to herself, looking out of the window and anticipating the sight of the grand RMS Titanic. She was excited to board the ship not only to see her father but she always had a particular liking towards the ships and architecture, like her father, so she told herself she would ask him about the ship's structure when she saw him later.

Personally, Elizabeth would have loved to go to nautical school but at the time, women were not highly looked upon and her aunt Augustine would have forbidden her to attend. Her father, however, encouraged her to go but she eventually did not, and settled for admiring the ships as a passenger.

The three of them, unlike many other passengers, were sailing on the RMS Titanic so that her aunt Augustine could boast about it during her parties and cotillions and whatnot. Like most of the other high society women, she cared most about her reputation and pride. It would have been an achievement to even be on the Titanic so she jumped at the chance to go.

Elizabeth's father insisted that his sister took his daughter and her maid with her on the Titanic and Augustine didn't refuse. After all, there were many rich, young men on the ship that she could just marry her off to. 'All for the sake of the family name', she always said, when really? Elizabeth knew it was for the money and title.

"Oh Clara, isn't this exciting? Think about how fascinating the ship is! It is absolutely wonderful from what I've heard. Did you know that it has 24 double-ended and 5 single-ended boilers that-"

Elizabeth was cut off by an annoyed voice, one that belonged to her aunt.

"Elizabeth, stop spouting nonsense that no one understands." Her aunt looked at her with spurn.

Elizabeth frowned but was still looking forward to seeing the Titanic. Their maid who travelling along with them, Clara, just tapped her on the shoulder and gave her a comforting smile. Elizabeth couldn't help but do the same and smile back.

"I'm sorry, aunt Augustine. I just miss my father a lot." She explained. "Well, I can't blame you. Your father is quite the charmer. I can't say I don't miss being around a gentleman like that." Augustine said, giving a icky ladylike giggle.

The automobile slowly came to a stop and they were finally at the dock. Elizabeth put on her best 'proper lady' face as the door opened. She put her hand out and their chauffer, Eric, held it, gently helping her out of the vehicle. Elizabeth smiled and thanked him politely.

As he was helping the rest of them out, Elizabeth stood there looking at the gigantic ship in awe, her mouth slightly gaped open. Elizabeth then felt a firm hand on her shoulder. "Close your mouth and let's go." She heard her aunt sternly say to her.

After many procedures and bribery for baggage check-ins, they were finally on the Titanic. Elizabeth could only hope that this voyage experience would be anything but like the one she had so many years back. She missed her mother so much. She wanted to take along with her her mother's diamond necklace which meant so much to her since it was the first gift her father gave her mother but her Aunt Augustine was bent on pawning it.

Her father couldn't do anything about it, he had already lost his wife so anything else that belonged to her would hurt him too much to keep. All she could do was to live with it and remember her mother only in her memory.

Have a nice day and please review if you liked the chapter! :D
