Chapter One
Winry Rockbell looked up at the ship Colossus. It was to bring her and her sister's family to land America, but she didn't want to leave. She didn't want leave behind her home; her sister, Aurora Armstrong, married to Alex Louis Armstrong, told her America would be her new home. But Winry knew that deep in her heart, England will always be her home.
She moved into her sister and brother-in-law's care a few months before, because her and Aurora's parents were in a car accident that killed both parents instantly. The decision to move to America was purely for a job promotion for Alex. Winry loved him like a brother but she wished he didn't get it. She didn't want to start a new life.
"Oh wow! Winry! Isn't this amazing?!"
Winry looked down at her niece, Alice, and smiled. Alice was always fascinated with big, fancy things. It was normal. Alice of course was the heiress to the Armstrong Automobile Company, so any big machinery brought the joy out of her. Winry was the heiress to the Rockbell Medical Facility, but her coronation was put on hold until she married, which could be awhile; she had no intention to marry at the age of seventeen.
She heard her sister sighed. "It's so wonderful! It'll be the best luxury ship since the Marckusos!"
Aurora grabbed her sister's arm. "It's amazing that we get to ride on it!"
"Yeah…"
"Oh Winry. I know your still mourning our parents death but it's time to stop living in the past and look to the future." Winry sighed.
"Aurora, I know. But I can't help that I feel like this ship is my prison." Aurora cupped her face and smiled softly.
"Perhaps for now it seems that way, but maybe you'll meet someone on this voyage that'll make it bearable." Winry smiled a little at that.
Both sisters turned their heads as they heard the familiar booming voice of Alex. Alice squealed and run in her nice blue dress and jumped in his arms.
"Daddy!"
"Whoa! Settled down my little lady!" Alex smiled as he hugged his daughter. Aurora walked up to him and kissed his lips.
"Are we all set?"
"Yes, m'dear. The luggage is being sent to our state room and the automobile will be in storage. All we need to do is walk up that ramp. Alice, shall you demonstrate how to walk a ramp?" Alice smiled.
"Yes daddy."
Alice stood straight her day blue dress with her blue hat and walked, as her said, like a princess up the ramp. Alex offered his arm to his wife and she took it and both walked up the ramp with air of royalty; their day outfits showing off how rich they are. Winry breathed and silently followed them as her eyes wondered around the harbor; that last of England she'll see. As she turned her to the front, she saw something in her peripheral vision and turned back to young boy staring at her.
Jim Hawkins was walking around in the crowd, searching for two trouble makers. They need to get into line for inspection before the ship departs, which was in thirty minutes.
Jim was a poor Irishman who lived with the Lynns ever since his parents died ten years ago. All he had left of them was his dad's pocket watch and his mother's wedding ring. He repays the Lynns by helping out and watching their two sons, Taran and Dimitri. But now the twins ran off somewhere, making his duty as a big brother harder. He finally spots them by a rich person's automobile, admiring the shiny machine. Jim sighed and rubbed their heads which both jumped.
"Hey boys. You know better than to ran off." Dimitri spoke with a happy grin.
"Aw Jim! We just wanted to see the nice automobiles!"
"Yeah! We are not do nothing wrong!" Taran finished. Jim rubbed their heads again.
"Yes, but you gave mum a heart attack when you did the disappearing act." Both gave him shocked looks.
"We better go!"
"Right away!" Both said simultaneously and ran back to their parents. Jim chuckled and followed them back. He sees the twins hug their mother as she scolds them. Marina Lynn can be a fun woman to be around with, but make her worry and she'll scold you till you're down on your knees begging for her forgiveness. And the one most on his knees is her husband, Sinbad. His actually name is Conner but when he was young, he would get into trouble with the nuns for all kinds of pranks. They said that pranks are a sin and that is bad and just one day, one of them just shouted 'Sinbad!' and the nickname forever stuck.
Jim and the Lynns went through the inspection and started walking up the third class ramp. Jim looked around for the last time and his eyes landed on the young girl walking up the ramp in first class. With the sun behind her, her beautiful day dress seemed to flow like water. The girl turned in his direction their eyes met. Both watched each other as they entered the ship, wondering who was the person they saw.
