The Ocean Blue

Chapter 1 A Sad Beginning With a Happy Ending

All of the dancers and singers are watching Christian hold the star of the show in his arms. The sad scene is a heartbreak to all who is watching the Sparkling Diamond die.


"That way, I'll always be with you." Satine gasps and breaths her one last breath.


Christian is crying and sobing. His loved one is now gone... Forever. She was the only person he ever loved, and now she's gone.


The audience behing the enclosed curtain is clapping and cheering for the wonderful show that has just been played. They had no clue what had happenned. They had no idea that their courtesan has just passed away.


Christian watches as the gravekeepers put Satine's casket in the ground. He watches as they take the boutique of flowers off and puts them aside. Christian has been since Satine died and still is now.


After the funeral, he decides to go back to his family in London, England since he has nothing left here for him.


When Christian arrived in London, he first when into a bar to get a drink.


"A cup of Absinthe please," he says to the bartender. The bartender nods at him and gets his cup ready.


As he waits, a man from the far end of the bar walks to a seat near him. He says,"Say, aren't you Frederick's boy who went to Montmontre lookin' for a job as a writer?"

"Here you go sir," said the bartender giving Christian his drink.

"Yes, I am," he says without looking at the man's face.

The man's eyes lighten up. "Well! I'm Donovan. Donovan Royale. I work with yer father at the bank." He puts his hand out for a handshake but Christian doesn't shake it. Donovan looked a little offanded but it didn't last long. He said quickly, "He doesn't speak very highly of you… Yer father, I mean. He says that yer a scoundrel. A big moron to have went to the city he knows as the 'City of Sin'."

Christian takes a sip of his drink and then puts it down. He looks up at Donovan who has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a brown coat that matches his eyes that is covering a black shirt, and he's wearing a pair of black pants and boots. Christian says, "Yeah… Sounds like my father all right. Well…" He stands up. "I'd best be going."

Christian starts to walk toward the door when Donovan yells, "Hey! Where're are you stayin' at? Maybe I can let you stay at my place?"

"No, no. I was just going to stay at my parents' house." Christian replies and walks out the door.

Christian walks up the steps of his parents' house and knocks on the door. He hears footsteps walking to the door inside. A young woman opens up the door.

"Christian!" The woman gasps.

Christian puts on a fake smile. "Annibell!"

Annibell is Christian's little sister. She's a sixteen year-old girl with long blonde hair and brown eyes. She got her eyes from her father and her nose from her mother. She hugs Christian tightly. "I can't believe you're home! I thought I would never see you again!"

Christian hugs back. "Yeah well, here I am!" He chuckles.

Annibell just smiles. "I'm going to go get John and mother!" And she runs up the stairs. Christian walks in and sets his bags down on the floor and waits patiently. Well, she hasn't changed a bit, Christian thought to himself. Wait a second… Did something happen to father?
