Chapter 2: I Trust You
The below freezing wind, off the sea hit the red heads pail white skin. She tried not to shiver, she planed to leap off the ship into the ice cold water. Fred crept up from behind, he hid away where he was unseen.
"She's beautiful.." Fred whispered to himself. "I've got to do something. She can't jump off like this!" He said. Daphne prepared herself for the jump, shaking like never before. Her lovely long gown waved gently in the wind. Her curly red hair brushed againest her face to the left side. Fred didn't want to frighten the beauty, she'd surely jump if he came across as someone trying to harm her as well.
"You don't want to jump, do you?" He asked calmly. Daphne gasped, then the red head, carefully turned her face to the blond.
"Get away from me! I do!" She said, turning back to the pitch black sea.
"Oh no, you wouldn't want to. Do you have any idea how many things are in those freezing waters?" He asked, sticking his hands in his coat pockets walking closer to the tip of the ship where she was standing.
"I don't care! You wouldn't understand!" Daphne shouted, shaky through her words.
"No, your right. I wouldn't. I don't have a clue what would make such a pretty woman like yourself want to jump off & end her life this way." Fred said. Daphne turned to see his face once again. Something about his voice. The way he sounded to caring, so thoughtful. Something told her heart that jumping off wasn't the way it was meant to be. Daphne didn't want to admit it to the total stranger though.
"Please, just go! I'm better off like this." Daphne faught, tears trembled down her rose pink, cold cheeks.
"Alright. If you'll listen to nothing I say, than I'll say nothing more about it. But, I'm warning you. It's going to feel like a thousand knifes stabbing into you, once you hit that water." Fred said.
"What? Stop that! You won't change my mind! How would you know anyway?" Daphne asked.
"Well, it's rather a long story. I was thrown into a freezing lake once, by a supposed "father" it's all settled now. But, it was one of the most painful things that I've ever been through, & trust me, I've been through some painful things." He said. Daphne was convinced, dieing this way wouldn't be right.
"Okay, I'll do it. I'll stay." Daphne said breath less.
"Your going to have to trust me, okay?" Fred said, placing his hands on her shoulder. Daphne shook her head. "Do you trust me?" He asked.
"Yes." She said. Fred wrapped his hands around her waist.
"You have to trust me, or we're both going to die." He said, with a scared tone showing in his voice.
"I trust you." She said softly, still shaky in her every word. He grabbed her tightly then fell back wards. She still held on to the bar, untrusting his words. She fell from the ships tip. Fred heard her frighted scared scream, he rushed to the rail, seeing her small body dangle from the ships railing like a Christmas tree ornament. He look at her scared face.
"You gotta trust me, or your going to die! Take my hand." He said, with pain in his chest from leaning over the rail.
"I..do trust you!" She cried.
"Do you really, with your life?" He asked, the pain, feeling like someone stabbing him. She shook her head, as silent sobbing tears trembled down her face.
"Take my hand!" He said. Daphne let go of the rail with the one & only hand that was holding on so tightly. Fred grabbbed ahold of it quickly. Pulling her up to safety.
The both layed on the cold wooden ship floor. Breathing heavily.
"You.. saved..me.." Daphne said in shock. Fred just kept taking deep breaths while staring at the red head. "Thank you." She said. Daphne stared at his chest, his white long sleeved shirt covered in blood stains.
"Oh no, are you okay!" Daphne said.
"Yeah, like I said, I've been through pain, this isn't the worst." He said, then leaning over holding his chest as the sharp pain went through him like a bullet.
"You need to see a doctor." Daphne said.
"No, I'll be fine." He insisted.
"Stay here, I'll be right back!" She said, rushing off down the ships outdoor halls.
"Daphne Ann Blake! There you are! You had us worried sick!" Nan Blake, Daphne's mother, said grabbing her daughter when she rushed by.
"Mom, let me go! I've got to get help." Daphne said, pulling away from her mother & conintueing to run away.
"Oh my goodness, from whom?" Nan gasped, seeing her daughters scared face & running off for help.
"Hello, yes, Barty Blake here. We've just spotted our daughter running off scared out of her mind from someone horrible, at the ships tip!" Barty said, on the phones attatched to the wall, avalible for peoples needs.
"They're on the way." Barty told his wife.
"Did you see Barty, she had blood on her hands, & she stained my good dress! Ugh!" Nan said.
Daphne ran to a desk.
"Please help me!" She said.
"What's the matter ma'am?" The man asked.
"It's a man he's hurt, he's at the top of the ship, you've got to help him!" Daphne said.
"What's his name Mrs. Blake?" He asked. Daphne froze, she know nothing about the man who just saved her life, not even his name.
"I..I don't know." She said.
"Thank you we're sending some help right away." The man said, calling help.
"You! Your the man who hurt my daughter aren't you!" Barty shouted to the blond who was in unreal pain while docotors worked on covering the bleeding spot. Fred was too weak to speak, he just listening to the man acuse him of something clearly misunderstood.
"Take him away! He shoud be thrown in jail for what he's done!" Barty shouted.
"Yes, get rid of him." Nan agreed.
"I..s-a-v-e-d...her." Fred whispered through the pain that went through him as he tried to speak. He then fell asleep, the pain was too much to bare.
"Good, I hope he's dead!" Nan said, stomping her heel on the wood floor.
"Mother, father, what's going on!" Daphne asked, rushing though the staring crowd to reach them.
"This is the man who deserves to die for touching you!" Barty said. Daphne held her mouth shut, if she were speak about him his life would surely end.
"You can't leave him here! He needs to go to the hospital!" Daphne said.
"We'll take him to the doctors office here." They said caring him off on a strecher. A few tears fell down Daphnes face.
"Come on honey, let's go inside where we're all safe & warm." Nan said.
"Daphne, where the heck did you go!" Darren, her soon-to-be husband asked in a rage.
"i left the party." Daphne said, crossing her arms.
"Why! Where did you want to be on a ship other than a fancy party!" He asked.
"Somewhere else." Daphne replied.
"Where!" He asked.
"I just went for a walk, okay!" She said.
"Good enough excuse for me!" He said, slamming himself into a chair. "I'm just glad your alright, babe." He said, throwing his arm around her. Daphne sighed. Thinking & praying that the man who saved her would live.
