Hey everyone! Another update. I know I kind of went fast paced for the previous chapters, but now it'll be much slower, with glimpses at all the characters as the ship sinks.

And thanks for Ancalon for like the best review ever that made me laugh so much. XD

"Alfred, just hold my hand, and don't say anything," Arthur tried to say calmly but it came out even more nervous than he really was. Alfred squeezed his hand, sensing the tension.

When they got to the room, everyone was waiting and anxious. Francis just looked pissed, Britannia looked about ready to have a heart attack, but the police looked pleased in a way.

"See! I told you Mr. Bonnefoy, that the two would show up eventually," Francis rolled his eyes to the police sergeant.

"I see, now arrest that damn American! He is the one who took my precious Arthur from me!" Francis shouted and two men grabbed Alfred, tearing him from Arthur.

"What are you doing? I went with him willingly!" Arthur shouted, but either no one heard him or even paid attention at this point. Then Arthur felt himself being grabbed and pulled against something.

"It is okay now mon ami. They are taking him away now," Francis cooed in his ear, holding Arthur against him. Arthur struggled nevertheless.

"No bring him back!"

"Arthur! Stop it! You are to be married to me and no one else! Now get over that American and stop struggling," Francis yelled right at Arthur, and then smashed their lips together. Arthur was shocked, but still struggled as hard as he could.

"No! I don't want you. This ship is going to sink, and I would rather die with him than live the rest of my life with you," Arthur venomously spat out, before he tore himself from Francis and barreled down the hallways, going in the general direction where they took Alfred.

"I'll make sure you do then! If you won't be mine then you won't be anyone's!"

Arthur made it to the grand staircase, out of breath and with no idea where to look next. There were other people around him, but none of them took notice of the panting man leaning against the stair rail. He knew that there was only going to be one person that could help him at this point, Mr. Wang. Yet no matter how hard he looked he could not seem to find him.

"Mr. Wang! Mr. Yao Wang!" He shouted, making everyone look at him.

"Arthur?" A voice came from behind him, making Arthur whip around faster than he ever thought possible. Yao Wang stood behind him, looking both concerned and sad.

"Oh, thank goodness. Tell me the police arrested someone, where is he?"

"Arthur please, this isn't the time to be doing something like this. Do you remember our talk about the lifeboats? Please go and try to find your way onto one," Yao spoke barely above a whisper, but Arthur could hear him easily.

"Please! I can't do this without him! I'll look over the entire ship no matter what, help me so that I can have a chance," Arthur pleadingly said.

"Nothing is going to deter you, is it?" When Arthur shook his head, Yao let out a long sigh.

"Go down as far as the elevator will take you. Then make a right, a left then a left again. You'll come to a long hallway with no doors on it. Follow that hallway until it reaches the end and turn right. Then it's the third door on the left," Yao looked so sad at Arthur's determinded look.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Arthur shouted, leaving Yao alone on the stairs.

"Maybe it's time I went and said my own goodbyes…." Yao said to himself, before walking off resolutely to where he needed to go.

"Arthur! Arthur!" Francis shouted, moving through the decks. They hadn't let him on the lifeboats yet, and after putting Britannia into one he thought that he would finally go and look for what was his.

"Francis?" A German voice came from behind him, looking more sad than Francis had ever seen before.

"Gilbert? Mon ami, what's wrong?"

"Francis, this ship is going to sink. You have to get out of here. Bribe your way onto a lifeboat I don't care, just stay alive," Gilbert said. There was no arrogance or sarcasm in his words. Not even a random 'I'm awesome'. It let Francis know that the words were true.

"B-but this ship can't sink," Francis stuttered out. He didn't believe it when Arthur had yelled it out. Francis thought that Arthur was just saying whatever got to his mind.

"It will. Now go! I have to find my Birdie," Gilbert said angrily before pushing past Francis and began looking for a certain violet-eyed blonde that he knew was looking for him as well.

"Arthur!" Francis began to call with an even more desperate tone than before. He had wanted to prove his point, but now it just seemed like everything wasn't going to turn out like he had hoped.

The captain walked briskly to the telegraph room, a slip of paper clutched tightly in his palm. He opened the door without ceremony, making the two men talking look up in surprise. Normally Emil and Mathias didn't get visitors in the middle of the night like this.

"I need you to send this message out to everyone. CQD. We are in need of assistance immediately from anyone closest."

"CQD as in the distress call CQD? What for?" Emil asked warily. He knew he wouldn't like any answer that he would receive.

"We struck an iceberg. The Titanic will sink….within the next two hours," The captain said solemnly. Since he first heard the news, the captain looked as if he was actually hearing it. He looked as scared as he could be, but tried to hide it, he had to be brave for the rest of the ship, people were going to look to him to be brave.

"Damn…." Matthias muttered looking disturbingly serious as he began to punch out the distress signal in rapid Morse code.

If only I hadn't ignored those iceberg warnings... Emil thought, using the other machine next to Matthias.

On the ship deck Kiku Honda looked away with his brown eyes from the lifeboats to the people waiting.

"Women and children first please, the men will be next," he managed to say, even though he knew that it wouldn't be true. They didn't have enough lifeboats for even the women and children at this point.

"Ludwig, I'm scared," a small Italian man said, clinging to a blonde German. Kiku smiled at them, letting them relax a little. He had grown close to them on his journey from the moment the ship left deck.

I'm sure that it'll be alright Feliciano," Ludwig said back, gently stroking Feliciano's hair.

"If you say so…"
