Rosalie's eyes shoot open, and she finds herself on a small piece of wood. She looks around and finds that everything is blurry. She see's the Titanic in the distance, the once beautiful ship now broken in half. She blinks her eyes quickly, everything coming back into full view. She finds a body a bit away, with red hair, floating. "Gabriel" Rosalie gasps out. She slowly paddles to the body, saying Gabriel over and over again. She nears the body and finds that it is Gabriel. She grips her and starts to kiss her, hoping that she wasn't to late.
Gabriel gasps and coughs up water. She starts to blink away the water in her eyes and smiles at Rosalie. "Hey." Gabriel says, tucking a wet piece of blonde hair behind Rosalie's ears. Rosalie smiles, "Hi." She says. Gabriel looks around and her eye catches a whistle, probably from the boat the crashed into the water. She lets one of her hands go from Rosalie and gets the whistle, then puts it around Rosalie's neck.
"The boats will come and find us." Rosalie says. "You'll see." After awhile, Gabriel's lips turn blue and she starts to shiver. Rosalie looks around, hoping to catch sight of a boat. "I'm n-n-not g-g-going t-to m-m-make it." Gabriel stutters out. Rosalie shakes her head and kisses Gabriel on her forehead. "No, no. You'll make it. Any moment now, they'll be here." She says. Gabriel closes her eyes, but Rosalie shakes her. "Stay awake with me Gabriel. You stay awake!" She says.
Gabriel just gives her a small smile. Rosalie looks around, but sees no boat coming for them and makes a hasty decision. She gets into the freezing water and somehow manages to hoist Gabriel up onto the small piece of wood. "There." Rosalie says. "Now you will stay alive with me, or so help me I'll join you in the next life." Gabriel slowly nods her head, trusting that she'd do it.
A few minutes later, a lone life boat comes through the wreckage searching for survivors. "Gabriel, Gabriel." Rosalie says, shaking the redhead slightly. "I told you that they'd be here." She said. Rosalie brought the whistle to her lips and blew on it for all of her worth, waving a free hand wildly. The life boat came towards them and two men helped Rosalie get Gabriel into the boat...followed by Rosalie herself.
"Where are the other boats?" Rosalie asked, grabbing two blankets in the boat and wrapping them around Gabriel. One of the men shake his head, "They all went ahead. It's just us." He said. Rosalie nodded her head slowly then rested her head against Gabriel's chest...the sound of her heart humming her to sleep. Gabriel, almost on instinct alone, wrapped her arms around Rosalie in a protective manner.
so, here's the "They both live" Ending. not all that good, but hopefully it'll do.
