I heared as the band finishes the waltz. Wallace Hartley looks at the orchestra members.

I listened to their conversation a bit.

"Right, that's it then. "

"good bye Wally good luck."

"bye."

"good bye boys."

They leave him, walking forward along the deck. Wallace puts his violin to his chin and bows the first notes of "Nearer My God to Thee". One by one the band members turn, hearing the lonely melody.

Without a word they walk back and take their places. They join in with Wallace, filling out the sound. I only stood there looking at them.

I then see a man pulls off his lifebelt and catches up to Captain Smith as he walks to the bridge.

"Captain! Captain! Sir.."

But he doesn't accept it and goes off to the wheel house closing the door. I was going to go there but Danny pulled me away.

Andrews stands like a statue. He pulls out his pocketwatch and checks the time. Then he opens the face of the mantle clock and adjusts it to the correct time: 2:12 a.m. He looked down.

"Elizabeth.. I'm so sorry.I'm sorry for everything.for everyone.but in my mistake I lost someone so important." He said this through his mind as he left his life was going to come to an end.

I seem to stand as a statue as I taught. "Thomas..why.."

Lowe looked back at the ship. "Elizabeth..I have lost you."

(Amazing how one person thinks of the other)

. I looked around when Edmond was tucking my dress looking confused. I have forgotten he was there. The lifeboats were gone by then. I started to panic not knowing what to do.

Danny looked at me. "the boats are gone.completley."

I picked up Edmond.

"then we have to.try to to keep ourselves out of the water as long as possible."

I saw one lifeboat but it was full. I heard Boxhall shout. "There's no time! cut them! Cut them if you have to!"

Another young officer shouted. "I need a knife I need a knife!"

I turned and saw Cal on a boat. I only shook my head. "I can't believe it.thinking he was a gentleman."

We met up with Jack and Rose.

"Jack where is Tommy and Fabrizio?"

"I don't know.they probably got on a boat.come on we have to go to the top and stay out of the water as long as possible.give me here.." he said taking Edmond.

We run out of the palm court into a dense crowd. Jack pushes his way to the rail and looks at the state of the ship.

The bridge is under water and there is chaos on deck. I helps Rose put her lifebelt on. People stream around us, shouting and pushing.

"come on!!!"

We clamber over the A-Deck aft rail. Then, using all Jack's strength, he lowers her toward the deck below, holding on with one hand.

She then falls. Then he does the same with me. I slightly fall but only trip as well. Then Danny jumps after then Jack jumps with Edmond in his arms.

Seeing that the stairs are impossible since it was over crowded, Jack climbs over the B-Deck railing and helps Rose over. Then he gets Edmond. I get helped and Danny climbs by himself. He lowers her again, and she falls in a heap.

Baker Joughin was next to her. He helps Rose to her feet. Jack drops down. He turns around and gets Edmond. He gives Edmond to Rose. I then jump and Jack catches me.

Then Danny jumps after and then all of us push through the crowd across the well deck. Near us, at the rail, people are jumping into the water. I only stared at them.

Jack pulled me to keep walking. "there's no time come on."

We started to run up. It was like a race against time.

In front of us well actually in front of Jack there was a man walking like he was hypnotized.

"Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death-"

Jack who wanted the man to hurry up told him. "You wanna walk a little faster through that valley there?

On the poop deck we struggle to go as the boat starts to slide down. Hundreds of passengers, clinging to every fixed object on deck, huddle on their knees around father byles, who has his voice raised in prayer. They are praying, sobbing, or just staring at nothing, their minds blank with the face of horror.

I started to pray but real quick when I felt Jack tugging me to move on. "Come on guys. We can't expect God to do all the work for us."

I nodded. He was right. I sighed and we started to walk up. Rose was having difficulties walking with Edmond so Danny took him. "come on."

A man loses his footing ahead and slides toward us. Jack helps him.

"you alright there?"

The man nodded. "thank you."

"welcome."

Above the wailing and sobbing, Father Byles' voice carries with emotion since he as well is nervous.

"...and I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away and the sea was no longer."

We finally made it to the end of the ship. Jack decided to take Edmond. "I'll take him.Danny you just make sure of Elizabeth.and alittle of Rose."

Danny nodded. We held on to the rail. I was so nervous. I felt so stupid at the moment. Why didn't I go to the lifeboats when I had the chance. But then I saw Edmond and I smiled. Things happen for a reason.and this was my reason.

I saw the horrified faces. I was so surpised as I saw a women and a child holding themsleves. As the mother tried to calm him down.

"Shhh. Don't cry. It'll be over soon, darling. It'll all be over soon."

I couldn't believe these poor people didn't make it through. They were women and children! Why weren't they in lifeboats! Then it came to me when I was down there on the lowerdeck. I felt such anger go over me.

Then I taught of Lowe for the first time in this whole thing. I've known Lowe for about a few days about some weeks or so and we were already engaged. I found it funny but then I sorta found out the reason why were almost engaged. My end was coming anyways.at least he had the courage to so early.

((no I'm not saying that you would get engaged to a guy in a few weeks.Hey look at Jack and Rose it was just about 2-3 days for them. =) ))

Father byles kept on praying holding the people's hands trembling in fear. "He shall wipe every tear from their eyes. And there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away"

The image is shocking, unbelieveable, unthinkable. Lowe can only stares finding it hard to believe any of this is happening. He then notices the rose on the boat which he forgot he even had. Horrofied and wild screams are heard as well as pleading for help.

He took the rose and looked at it in pity for a moment. "It happened to soon..and it ended too soon.."

He then turned to the seamen. "Bloody pull faster and PULL!"

Molly stared with the same expression as Lowe. "God almighty."

Bruce Ismay looked as well and turned away crying.

In darkness Officer Moody hangs onto a pipe at the master breaker panel. Around him men climb through tilted cyclopean machines with electric hand- torches. It is a black hell of breaking pipes, spraying water, and groaning machinery threatening to tear right out of its bedplates.

Water sprays down, hitting the breaker panel, but Bell will not leave his post. CRACK! The breakers kick. He slams them in again and then WHOOM! A blast of light! Something melts and arcing fills the engine room with some type of light.

The lights go out all over the ship. There is a scream of terror. Edmond starts to cry of fear. The horrified child looks around not knowing what to do but holding on real tight to Jack.

Lovejoy is clutching the railing on the roof of the Officers' Mess. He watches in horror as the ship's structure rips apart right in front of him.

The stay cables on the funnel part and snap across the decks like whips, ripping off davits and ventilators. Another cable smashes the rail next to Lovejoy and it rips free. He falls backward into the pit of jagged metal.

Fires, explosions and sparks light the yawning chasm as the hull splits down through nine decks to the keel. As the ship rips apart people slide down falling and screaming into their deaths.

People start to fall, sliding and tumbling. They skid down the deck, screaming and trying to hold onto somehting. They wrench other people loose and pull them down as well. There is a pile-up of bodies at the forward rail. The a family falls one by one.

Jack notices what's going on. "We have to move!" He gives me Edmond.

He climbs over the stern rail as well as Danny. Jack reaches back for Rose. She is terrified to move. He grabs her hand.

Danny took Edmond. Then me, I was nearly falling down feeling I was going to fall.

Jack noticed what was going on and helped me up with Danny.

"Come on! I've got you!"

I was horrified knowing that my death was almost near.

So we were all at the top as well as a man who was drinking. Danny was towards the side which he could have easily fallen off. I grabbed on to his hand.

The final relentless plunge begins as the stern section floods. Looking down a hundred feet to the water, we drop like an elevator,

Jack started to instruct us real fast. "Rose and Elizabeth you both hold on to Edmond and try to get him up as soon as possible onto the water, he is young and can easily drown. Take a deep breath and hold it right before we go into the water. The ship will suck us down. Kick for the surface and keep kicking. Hold hands and don't let go. We're gonna make it. Trust me. "

Rose nodded. "I trust you."

Jack smiled.

"we all do." I said smiling.

Jack seem to be feeling trusted. (well he did have 4 people believing in him.)

We see the stern descend into the boiling sea. My hair flew behind me as we got closer to the water.

"ready guys..ready..ready.NOW!"

We all held our breaths as we went onto the water. I try not to let go of neither Edmond or Danny.

I lose grip of Danny since he doesn't have a lifebelt. I see as Jack is been sucked away too. All three of us try to swim up. Edmond couldn't hold his breath anymore and seem to drink some water.

We kicked up swimming up.

Edmond coughs up the water looking as if he was going to throw up.

Edmond looks at me and I hold on to him.

I turn and don't see Rose anymore.

(Little did I know that Rose was nearly been drowned by a man who couldn't swim.)

I swam with Edmond. "come on Edmond." I hold him as I was carrying him so he can be away from the freezing water.

I finally meet up with Danny. "Danny!"

Danny was trembling as his breath is shown from the freezing temperature.

Danny didn't seem consern about whter he would live or not but whther Edmond and I would.

"come on we got to get you both to a floating device.anything to get us out of the freezing water."

He starts to swim holding on to me.

I try, but my strokes are not as effective as Danny's because of my lifejacket.

" Look for something floating. Some debris... wood... anything. " Danny said looking around.

We found a bif bfloating piece of wood.

Edmond was trembling and we get him on top of it.

I felt so bad for him from the way my sweater was so big and warm.

I took off the lifebelt without Danny noticing and I sank down.

"Elizabeth!"

I was a good swimmer and swam up.

I took off my sweater. "ooohhh!!" I shouted as the freezing water had hit me barley since the dress I had on wasn't exactly for warm weather.

I put it over Edmond. "there Edmond.there."

The lifebelt floated away as I saw two man sink it under trying to get it. "The boats will come back for us, Elizabeth. Hold on just a little longer. They had to row away for the suction and now they'll be coming back. You know Lowe.will come back right?"

I nodded. "yes.."

I shivering uncontrollably, my lips were blue and my teeth chattering.

The first class women in the boat sit, stunned, listening to the sounds of hundreds screaming.

Hitchins looks at them. "You don't understand.they'll pull us right down I tellin' ya!

Molly stood up. "Aw knock it off, yer scarin' me. Come on girls, grab your oars. Come on let's go. "

Nobody makes a move. The women won't even look at her. They huddle themselves

Molly looks around.

"I don't understand a one of you. What's the matter with you? It's your men back there! We got plenty a' room for more. "

"And there will be one less on this boat if you don't shut that hole in your face!"

"yes the one less will be you!" She threatened to throw Hitchins over board.

But Hitchens tried to get some sense into her until she gave knowing no one will agree with her.

I then noticed that some cries started to die out. "Dan.it's getting quiet."

Danny smiled. "I know daddy made the ship and everything but I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all this. "

I laughed but a bit weak.

I saw a man nearly looking as if he was going to sleep. But clearly it looked like he ws dying of exposure.

I was trembling madly without the sweater and the dress I had on. But I looked at Edmond. His lips had turn purple and he had fallen asleep.

"Edmond fell alseep."

Danny laughed a bit. "yeah.as long as he's okay."

"poor thing." I sighed trembling still.

Danny took off his vest he had on. "here..put it on your head.it might not keep you warm but.it'll help.I---I-I heard that if your head is warm.it helps most of your body."

I smiled. "thank you Dan." I put the vest over my head and laid my head on the wood Edmond was on.

"Just a few more minutes. It'll take them a while to get the boats organized. Right I mean Lowe wouldn't leave you.and he's kindhearted right." But this time I noticed that he started to talk as if having difficulties breathing.

"I guess so." I said not exactly believing he'll come back. But I could only hope he has a heart like I believe he does. I lowered my head onto the block of wood as I felt I was going to sleep...

Fifth Officer Lowe, the impetuous young Welshman, looked back at the shouting of people. He taught of Elizabeth and he taught of his duty. To save as many people as possible but he was so desperate to find out whether she was saved or not. He was stuck in between both worlds of his duty and his love. But both of them agreed on one. "to go back and save as many as you can..."

He has gotten Boats 10, 12 and Collapsible D together with his own Boat 14.

"Right!! Listen to me men, we have to go back! I want to transfer all the women from this boat into that boat right now, as quick as you can please! Let's get some space over there, move forward and aft..."

He had everyone hold the boats together and is transferring passengers from 14 into the others, to empty his boat for a rescue attempt.

As the women step gingerly across the other boats, Lowe sees a shawled figure in too much of a hurry. He rips the shawl off, and finds himself staring into the face of a man. He angrily shoves the stowaway into another boat and turns to his crew of three.

Lowe held onto his flashlight. "Oaaaaaaaaars! Do you see any moving?

"no sir, none moving sir"

" Check them! Check them, make sure!"

Then, their white lifebelts bobbing in the darkness like signoposts, the first bodies come into the torch's beam. The people are dead but not drowned, killed by the freezing water. Some look like they could be sleeping. Others stare with frozen eyes at the stars.

One of the seaman takes one of the men on the water thinking he is alive since his eyes are open. "these are dead sir."

Soon bodies are so thick the seamen cannot row. They hit the oars on the heads of floating men and women... a wooden thunk.

"Now give way. Ahead Easy." Lowe said with his usual soft voice.

"Careful with your oars. Don't hit them."

One seaman throws up. Lowe sees a mother floating with her arms frozen around her lifeless baby.

Desperation and horror in his eyes as he realizes that he waited too long for the cries in the water to die down.

He talks in a voice as if he's about to cry. "we waited too long."

He sighs and gets serious. "Well keep checking them keep looking!!!"

He kept shouting "Is there anyone alive out there? Can anyone here me??"

He kept repeating this phrase.

After a while he hears a sound of whistle. His heart jumps. There is someone alive out there!

He then shouts. "Come about!!!"

He then goes up to the person whistling finding it was a red headed women named Rose.

After Lowe finding 4 people he went around looking when his heart skipped a beat.
