Now on to the story......
.:. Chapter 2 .:.
Serena and her friends except for Andrew were all shocked to see what looked like them all in a big picture on the deck of what was suppose to be the Titanic. Serena somehow managed to get herself into her seat to read the article under the picture.
~ Richard and Catherine Bradley were two of the lucky survivors of the fatal Titanic voyage. However pictured above is the very last picture of Richard and Catherines two children. Serena Bradely who was engaged to Seiya Woodward, and Andrew Bradley heir to Bradley Fortune in San Fransisco. The picture was taken April 12th 1912 . Pictured above from left to right are as follows. Michael Gregor, Mina Capshaw, Nicholas Davenport, Lita Stanly, Johnathan Davis, Rei Duloc, Zachary Winthrop , Ami Lewis, Darien Weston, Serena Bradley, and Andrew Bradley........... Article by : Jack Brown ~
"WHAT??? How is it that... I... Ohmigosh... What did I miss here? I must be dreaming. " Serena frantically pulled herself out of her chair and leaned against her window when she felt someones hand on her shoulder.
" Rena if your dreaming then we are all having the same dream you know? "
Serena blinked a few times then nodded her head aggreeing with Mina.
Rei, Lita, and Ami all sat in a complete stupor trying to rationalize the situation.
Andrew took a deep breath before he attempted any kind of reasoning with the now dazed and very confused girls. Serena looked over at her brother and saw the emotions running all throughout him. " Drew what is wrong? "
Andrew hesitated for a bit as he made his way towards the window to look out on the now falling snow, before turning his attention back on the young women in the room with him. " Can any of you explain that picture on the screen? "
" Yeah that is simple. Rena just wanted to mess with us. So all she had to do was have a picture computer generated with us 6 and then add in some others. Make up some names and well you know what I mean. " Turning towards Serena, Rei smiled softly, " Good try Rena, Good try. " Laughing softly as to shake off some weird vibes Rei turned to walk out the door.
Serenas soft yet barely audible voice stopped Rei dead in her tracks. " Rei I didn't make anything. I was just simply looking up information for my class project. " Rei turned towards Serena searching her face, sagging against the wall for support Rei finally allowed the information to sink in.
Andrew stood there looking at them for only a moment, before asking them to make themselves comfortable as he told them of a story that would most likely change them for ever.
Serena looked at Andrew like a lost child, and all he did was motion for her to have a seat on her bed. Mina followed suit as did Rei each taking a seat on Serena's queen size bed. Lita and Ami both found spots on the floor, once they were all comfortable Andrew excused himself long enough to grab a glass of water. Upon his return he took a seat on Serenas window seat, and made himself comfortable.
Serena just stared at Andrew and felt a weird deja vu sweep over her. Somehting about the way he sat there with the backdrop of snow in the background made her think back to the days when she was a kid and her grandfather would gather all the kids together for his annual christmas story. Andrew and Serena would always sit up front just so they could be closer to the man they so adored. Serena came back to the present and found in her brother a younger version of their wonderful grandfather.
Andrew slowly took a sip of his water before setting the glass down. Looking at them all he spoke softly. " Do any of you believe in life after death? "
" You mean reincarnation?" Rei asked absently.
Andrew just nodded.
The girls all looked at one another and there was a series of confused looks. So he simply just asked them one by one. Starting with Rei.
" Rei do you believe in it? "
" I don't know Andrew. It is pretty farfetched you know. "
Andrew shook his head slightly.
" Mina? Do you? "
Mina just sat there with a blank look on her face almost afraid to answer, but she did regardless. " I guess it is possible you know. "
Andrew nodded slowly before turning to Lita and Ami.
" Well Lita Ami, Do you believe in reincarnation? "
Ami looked at Lita, neither knowing what to say, Ami said no, and Lita said yes.
Andrew looked at his sister, and smiled at her. " Well Rena now you. It's 50 / 50 what percent are you in. "
Serena sat there looking at the picture on the screen before turning her eyes to her brother. " Are you going to tell me that I lived another life once and it just so happened I was on the Titanic, regardless of my answer? "
Andrew shook his head taking a deep breath. " What if I did Rena, what would you say? What would any of you say? "
Serena was somehow prepared for this, and quickly stood up making her way over to Andrew.
" Tell me Andrew, how are you so sure. This is just a picture it means nothing. Sure we have the same names, well first names at least, but come on. What is the chances of us all being together in one life only to be together in the next? It doesn't make since Drew. "
Serena and Andrew sat there looking intently at one another, before Andrew finally spoke. " It makes perfect sence Rena, What if you all died and you weren't suppose to. What if we were suppose to live. It's kinda funny how Andrew Bradley was the heir to all that money in San Fransico, and no one ever found it. It just vanished. Then Serena Bradley was engaged to Seiya Woodward, but she didn't love him. Maybe... Just maybe fate is trying to give us all the chance that we all really should've had. Maybe we never should've died on Titanic. Think of the possibilities Rena. "
Andrew reached for his sisters hand pulling her towards him tightly. Rei , Mina, Lita and Ami were all speechless not knowing what to say. Serena however pushed Andrew away and stared at him with cold eyes. " How Andrew... How do you know? "
Andrew bit his bottom lip as if he was trying to decide to tell her or not. Giving in to her he told her everything.
" Rena it started when I was 5 yrs old. I started having this dream of being in the middle of no where in freezing water screaming for you and mom and dad. Then as I got older more and more came to me. Hell by the time I was 18 I already knew exactly what had happened all those years ago on Titanic. I could actually remember how it felt to die, and how I felt as I watched each and everyone of you die. Serena you were the hardest to watch though. You were so sad. See Rei, and Mina, Lita, Ami.. They all had the person they loved with them. They basically died in there arms, but you Rena. That was just heart wrenching. You two were seperated in the sinking of the stern. You swam around frantically trying to find him, but it was no use. We tried to keep you girls all together. It was no use. Serena just wouldn't listen. Finally she just gave up. She layed her head against a piece of wood she was using to keep afloat and just stayed like that. " Andrew looked up at the girls with tears in his eyes. " She died soon after. I guess it was partially cause she was hurting so bad, and that she just gave up, but the majority of it was that she could not handle the cold water. Honestly it didn't take very long for us all to just slip away into a peaceful eternal slumber. "
Serena sat there with tears in her eyes as she listened to her brother tell her the tale of her past life. " You... you use to dream this? " Andrew simply just nodded his head.
" Well you kept saying we...Who are these WE? "
Andrew looked up at his sister, and pointed to the picture on her computer screen. " Take a look at them all. " Serena slowly made her way back to her computer and took a seat, the others seemed to scared to talk much less move.
Serena stared at the picture for a while taking in the people in it. It was remarkable they all looked the exact same now as they did back then. Serena noticed the way everyone was paired up, everyone except Andrew. She stared long and hard at the face of the young man she was paired with and found herself drawn to him. She turned to face Andrew again, " Tell me something Drew. Who was this Darien Weston. It says I was engaged to Seiya Woodward, why would we be with them in third class if we were first class ranking? " Andrew shook his head then turned back to look out the window.
" That is simple Rena.. You despised your fiancee, so much that you wanted to just die. You were close to killing yourself when our parents back then forced you into an engagement at 16 to a 25 yr old. The only salvation you found was in Mina our cousin. She and you and I were all really close. She also introduced us to her friends, that is when we all became really close. And before anyone asks. Our father was a rich little playboy who got our mother pregnant. Once that happened he married her. He didn't want to disgrace her nor himself. They wound up with a very loving family and life, till the Woodwards interfered. Mr. Woodward basically took it upon himself to make Serena his daughter in law. She was the most beautiful girl alot of us had ever seen, but she had a heart of gold. She was divine. Well anyways it turns out that our mother back then Catherine, was Minas aunt. Minas mom and our mom were sisters. So Mina had the chance to have our life, but she wanted to stay where she was. Our father though adored Mina and our friends. He really didn't care about rank and social standings. He was a very compassionate man, and he adored Serena. It killed him when Woodward basically blackmailed him into giving Serena to his son. " Andrew stopped talking as the feelings washed over him once more. Serena seeing this turned her head away for fear of what more he was about to say.
" Serena, You have never really been in love have you? "
Serenas head shot up and she gave her brother a cold glare. It was as if her azure eyes were now touched with ice themselves. " What does it matter Drew ? I have no time for love. It is a luxury I can't afford. "
Andrew shook his head slowly as he clearly disagreed with his sister. " Rena please believe me when I tell you this. The reason you have yet to fall in love is cause your heart has always been with Darien, and his with you. "
" ANDREW SHUT UP!!! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS CRAP. " Serena yelled at her brother before she could stop herself. Andrew quickly fell silent from her words. Taking a deep breath Serena grabbed her purse and walked out of the room much to everyones displeasure. Waving her hand she simply said she needed to talk to a friend and she would be back shortly.
Andrew shook his head sadly and was about to get up and walk out of the room until he was stopped by Mina and Rei. " Drew we believe you, it makes alot of sence that none of us have ever been in love. We were just waiting for them. " Mina smiled sweetly at Andrew before sitting beside him. " Give her time Drew, she just learned that she died a very horrible and lonely death on the most wonderful ship there ever was. She was a part of history, maybe that is why she loves it so. " Andrew just simply nodded his head before deciding that hot cocoa sounded like a good idea.
~*~ In the Car ~*~
Serena drove down the long empty road towards the lodge that her old childhood friend Molly worked at. ' I sure hope Molly is working tonight.' Serena thought to herself.
She listened to the radio and kept her eyes on the road carefully not wanting to take any chances in this weather. ' What does Drew think I am? An idiot? Yeah like I was on the Titanic. ' Serena made herself stop thinking about it as she pulled into the parking lot. Pulling into a parking spot she grabbed her long black trench coat and her car keys and walked towards the door of the lodge.
