A/N: Alright there is a bit of confusion over the time span. This story is taking place ONE MONTH after the Titanic incident so yes it is still winter and very, very cold. Sorry about the confusion! There will be a break with Jack's POV. Sorry it took me so long to update, it wouldn't let me for some reason.

On with the story!

I didn't even get a chance to register my surprise before I hit the icy cold water of the North Atlantic. I couldn't move the water was so cold. Jack won that bet; it does hit you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body. I shrank away from the surface and the only thing I could think about was the pain I was in. I shut my eyes and waited for death to take its toll.

Jack's POV0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Jack jumped onto the railing and tried to reach for Marie's hand, but missed. The rich man who had pushed her over looked pleased with himself.

"You bastard!" Jack roared and tackled him.

After a second Jack stood up and looked for a floatation device of some kind. There was one hanging on the side of the ship. Jack took it off, tied the rope end to the railing of the ship, and jumped over the side with the flotation device in arm.

"Oh shit." He cursed the freezing water.

Jack took a deep breath and dove under. The water was clear so he easily spotted Marie and pulled her up. He broke the surface and climbed back up the side of the ship using the rope.

Moments later they were both onboard and Marie coughed up sea water.

Back to Marie's POV o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Jack was asking me questions but each word went in one ear and out the other. After a moment or so I caught most of what he was saying.

"Hang on, somebody's coming." He said encouragingly.

I could only nod, but I was frozen to the bone. A couple of guards came and put some blankets around me.

"A man pushed her overboard! I wanted him arrested!" Jack yelled trying to warm me up with his hands.

"Sir, I'm sure it was just an accident." One guard replied.

"Hell no it wasn't a bloody accident." Jack yelled again.

"Sir why don't you go back inside and keep her warm? We will handle the situation." Another guard suggested.

Jack fumed and reluctantly steered me back inside. We went into our room and by the time we got there I was warm.

"Thanks Jack." I said climbing onto the bottom bunk.

"Not a problem. Can I have those blankets?" He asked shivering.

I immediately tore them off and wrapped the blankets around him. He shivered a bit and then stopped.

I fidgeted a little bit a he smiled. He moved in a little and began to kiss me. Suddenly the door flung open and a man ran in yelling something in a different language. I was forced away from Jack and we stared at the hysterical man.

"OK slow down and try speaking slowly." Jack commanded standing up.

The man seemed to talk faster and he disappeared down the hallway.

"Come on." Jack said.

We both ran down the hallway until we met with a huge crowd, both rich and poor gathered up in the main hallway. The captain was about to give a speech.

"Now nobody worry but some of our engines aren't working properly so we are turning back to Ireland…" Before the captain could finish his speech there were shouts of outrage.

"Jack! We can't go back they'll arrest you again!" I said in a hysterical whisper.

A few of the guards, looked panic stricken. One of them whispered something in the captain's ear, the captain gave a nod, and the men disappeared up the stairway.

"It must be done ladies and gentlemen. My crew has already begun turning around." The captain said.

I put my hand on my forehead and sighed.

"Oh no, what do we do?"

The Captain gave a speech for a half hour, telling us how the procedure was going to go and that we would be set on another ship to America. But suddenly something happened. It seemed we were picking up speed.

Before the captain could register any kind of explanation there was a loud noise of iron being crushed. People suddenly began to panic and the captain raced up the steps.

"Everyone please go and get your life vests on." A guard ordered and ran after the captain.

People suddenly began to push and shove past each other, all of them completely freaking out.

"Jack! It's happening again!" I nearly screamed.

"No Marie, no it's not! I'm sure we just scraped some rocks or something!" Jack said trying to sound calm, but you could hear the panic in his voice.

One of the crew members walked by.

"Sir please tell me! What's happened?"

The man stopped abruptly and turned to me.

"A couple of our own crew members has steered the ship right intosome rocks and frozen iceand then taken one of the lifeboats off the ship. It crushed a lot of the bottom. The ship is going to sink."

A/N: I wonder if any of you expected that. Well I told you things are only going to get worse. Anyways R&R and sorry it took me so long to update! The website wasn't letting me.
