It's been awhile since I've had these dreams of seeing tragic events. My new family of rabbits and I had already seen the tragedies of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the four doomed hijacked flights. As well as, the doomed Paradise Lost in Jonestown. This is by far the bizarre I would ever have, even my family wouldn't remember the dream, until I repeated to them. It first started after like any other long day, after patrol, fetching flayrah, later on silflaying, and calling the day. I was in my burrow, with my mate, Thethuthinnang, as we stayed by our side for the night. Oddly I looked at the time on my phone and it was 11:45 pm on a April 14th. I was able to look above the roof of our burrow to see the nightly Spring stars that helped me fall asleep. What you were about to hear from this tragic event... is well known, especially if you seen the films and watch documentaries and miniseries.
I was still asleep, until I felt very warm, as if I was very close to Thethuthinnang and felt her soft side resting on my head. As I tried to embrace her, my arms were seemed to be long and I was human. Perhaps it was the weekend. It was until my eyes were brightened from a bright light that it eventually woke me up. My eyes opened to find myself in a bright room that the room was nearly colored red. The cold wind was blowing into the room. I was on my nightgown. Apparently, I think I was on a cruise ship. I got out of the bed and came outside that looked like a balcony. I than gazed at the nightly ocean.
"I must be at sea!" I said to myself. "But I wonder where Hazel and the others are at."
I decided to leave my suite to seek for my family. When I opened the doors, it was a massive beautiful corridor. It seems quiet. Probably from other passengers are asleep perhaps. I decided to look around to find my way. Even at one point, a steward of the ship came towards me and asked if everything is alright. I simply politely ignored with a quick response of a nod. I than found my way at a promenade deck. I looked both ways, until a women in a red dress and her hair was undone, as if she was trying to take it off from a ponytail perhaps. She seemed to be in a distress. She ran pass a few passengers, even at one point bumping into a woman. I wonder what was happening, that I started to follow her.
As I was following her and eventually leading me to the stern, I started to think if I was in a movie, because I recognized the woman right away. She appears to be a bright late teenage girl. She than walked towards the railing, as if she's contemplating about suicide. It was that moment that I had to step in.
"Excuse me, ma'am?"
She quickly turns back towards, as she was starting to climb over. "Stay back! Please, don't come near me!"
"You're not thinking about what you're planning to do are you?" I questioned the obvious.
Come on. I turned around to see a young man, around my age, stepping in. "Just give me your hand. I'll pull you back over."
"No! Both of you stay where you are!" the woman refused. "I mean it! Or I'll let go!"
"I tried it before ma'am... it's painful for what you're about to do." I told her. "You're scared."
"What do you mean, I'm scared? Don't presume, you don't know me!" the woman talked back.
"Well you would have done it already." the man spoke.
"Not only that, I really think you don't want to do this. Especially if you're..." I was trying to come up with words... "...feeling trapped."
She looked back at me with shock and disbelief. "What?"
"When I saw you running, I come to realize that you might be in a situation that you were put upon against your will or wanting to seek freedom. I remember when I was longing for it. Especially with my brothers."
"What do you mean?" she questioned.
"Well... I really like to go on with the story and I could tell how it goes. Unless you give us-" I looked back at the man and recognized him as well. "I meant to say was give him a chance to... help you."
"You're crazy!" she exclaimed.
"That's what everybody says but... with all due respect, miss... I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship here." the man spoke gently to her. He than slowly tries to reach out for her hand. "Come on. Come on, give me your hand. You don't want to do this."
"Listen to him, ma'am." I persuaded her.
She than reached for his hand, as she turned around and accepted the stranger's hand for assistance. "Phew." the man had a relief. "I'm Jack Dawson."
"Rose DeWitt Bukater." she introduced herself. My mouth widened, as I finally know where I was on now! I'm in the Titanic movie. At the same time, I realized in shock that I'm on the actual ship as well. The two than looked at me.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I'm Kev Marcus, but I go by Kevin." I introduced myself.
"I'll have to get you to write that one down." Jack lightly joked that made Rose chuckle.
I than noticed part of her dress is on her shoe that she may slipped. I stopped them briefly to remove it from the shoe so she was able to climb over without tripping. After Rose's contemplation of suicide was cut short, we sat on a bench and discussed about why Rose was doing such a thing. Apparently, she was too tired to say, especially when a few gents were coming towards us. One of them was rushing towards Rose and making sure she was alright. He than turned us and demanded what me and Jack were doing to his fiancee. Unexpectedly, Rose stood up to explain to her fiance that she accidentally slipped, as she imposingly gazing at the propellers, until she slipped and Jack and I rescued her. There was a crewman that appeared to be a police officer, only to find out it was Master-at-arms; questioned the both of us if that how was the story laid out. Rose gave me and Jack a look to confirm the story and that we did. The fiance was persuaded to offer an award for our simple small, but fictional rescue. Jack and I were being awarded $20, as well invitation for tomorrow's dinner.
As the rest, including Rose depart back to their decks, Jack whistled for a valet that was with the fiance for a cigarette. The valet handed him a cigarette and turned towards me. "I could see you are wearing your nightgown."
I looked to notice that I was still on my nightgown and never changed my outfit. "It's interesting... the young lady slipped so suddenly... and you helped this young man, while wearing your nightgown."
"I was just coming out of my suite and-" he than made me feel bit uncomfortable, as he was wanting to know something. "... I was just wandering about before she slipped."
He nodded, as he slightly smirked and walked away. I let out a relief, as Jack lighted his cigarette. "Close call."
"Yeah..." I sighed. "Hopefully if it isn't too much trouble, have you seen any rabbits on board this ship?"
Jack Dawson made a questionable expression, as he moved the cigarette with his mouth. "I hardly see a rat on board. Except I saw dogs earlier today."
"Oh... if you came across with them, will it be alright to let me know and where I can find them?" I asked for his help to find my family (that I didn't reveal to him).
"No problem... I'll see you tomorrow night... Kevin Marcus?" Jack said his farewell, as he offered a handshake.
"Yes of course, indeed. Tomorrow dinner Jack Dawson." I smiled and shook his hand, before we go about our own ways.
I than headed back into my suite, that I managed to find my way back. Before I opened the door, I saw an woman exiting out of the suite next door to mine. She had the same hair color as Rose's, perhaps she might be her mother. I politely exchanged a smile, however she continued to walk towards her suite. When I got into my suite, I saw my ticket was on my desk. I was able to look at it, as I picked it up. Apparently, it showed that I embarked from Southampton, England on April 10th, 1912. I than noticed something that I never suspect before or know about my family... it showed my name with a Sr. at the end. I even had a list of belongings that I brought on board for the crossing: a few suitcases, books, and to my surprise... cages of rabbits.
"Cages of rabbits?" I questioned to myself.
Hello?
I heard a voice that I looked around to follow the voice.
Is someone there to free us from this cage? I recognized the voice.
It's not too bad, when it comes to Lucy. I recognized the second voice.
Easy for you to say, we're supposed to be free rabbits! the third I knew it could be the voice of The Plump Rabbit.
I went over towards my closet space to find three cages of rabbits that I discovered them and suspect it has to be a dream. "Hazel?"
"Kevin?" Hazel replied back.
"NO!" I backed away and I disbelieved it.
