Theme Song: "A Building Panic" ~ Titanic Soundtrack
12:55 A.M.
All the other Titanic actors were waiting on the deck for Frances and Ewan to come back, but now twenty minutes had gone by and they had not seen Frances nor Ewan. Leo began pacing back and forth with an almost worried expression.
"Damn, shouldn't they have been back by now?" Leo asked with an eyebrow raised.
"They should've been back minutes ago," Kathy said with a roll of her eyes. "How long does it take to get clothes?"
"Maybe we should go look for them?" Victor asked, looking at Leo for an answer. "You know, just in case they're not ok."
Leo sighed and looked all around him and saw lifeboats being lowered with people on it. He frowned, he knew they had to act and they had to act fast.
"Um, no—no, lets wait for a few minutes." Leo said unsurely. "Um, yeah just a few minutes more."
Billy sighed and frowned angrily.
"Well they better sure as hell hurry, or else we're going to miss our chance of getting off this damn death ship." Billy said coldly.
Ewan looked at Frances and quickly grabbed her hand and led her off, running in the opposite direction of the people standing at the gate.
"Come on, we have to go, find another way, now!" Ewan said as he ran with Frances.
Frances frowned and yanked away from him and stopped running.
"No, wait, what other way!" Frances asked frantically. "Don't you remember! They close one gate, they close them ALL! God how can you FORGET that!"
Ewan frowned angrily.
"Well excuse the HELL out of me for forgetting something that was in a movie that's what—FIFTEEN YEARS OLD FRANCES!" Ewan yelled.
Suddenly, they felt a STRONG, shaking vibration, a vibration that seemed to fill the insides of their body.
"DON'T take that tone with me!" Frances yelled. "You—"
"Wait!" Ewan yelled as he looked up, down and all around him with suspicion. "Do you feel that?"
Frances got quiet as the strong, vibration became even stronger. Suddenly, they heard what sounded like a strong but distant roar. Frances frowned as she looked at Ewan.
"Yeah I—I can hear it, what IS that?" Frances asked in a low voice.
Ewan closed his eyes as if that would help him discover and hear and feel better what the roar and sound was and where it was coming from. Ewan opened his eyes and looked down at the floor.
"Oh shit," Ewan said in a low voice.
"What!" Frances yelled frantically. "What is it!"
"Its—its water, the sound of water." Ewan said with an almost helpless look. "Waters going to break through these corridor walls in ANY minute now, the pressure of the water and—and—so—so um, I—I think we should hurry up and run—NOW!"
Immediately Ewan grabbed Frances' hand and took off running down the corridor and within minutes of them running down the corridor, sure enough, a HUGE SURGE of water came BLASTING through the walls of the third class corridor, flooding the corridor with TONS of water. The corridor looked like an ocean filled with water. Frances looked back and saw the tons of water running after them both like a killer chasing a victim.
"Ewan! The waters coming! What are we going to do!" Frances yelled with panic.
Ewan looked back behind him and saw Frances was right, the water was chasing down the corridor, coming faster and FASTER after them.
"Just—just keeping running, don't let go of my hand!" Ewan yelled.
As they ran, every wall behind them blasted open, blasting in TONS of surges of water in the halls after them. Suddenly as one wall behind Frances blasted open and tons of water blasted in, the water blasted right in and overtook Frances. Frances somehow let Ewan's hand drop and she slipped and fell and went floating away in the water. Ewan stopped and looked behind him, realizing Frances's hand was not in his.
"Frances!" Ewan yelled.
Frances was being carried away swiftly within the water. She was waving her arms in the air, trying desperately to wave for Ewan to help her.
"Ewan! Help! Help!" Frances yelled as she was continuously being carried away by the water.
Ewan immediately began swimming through the rush of waters towards Frances, to try to get to her, but the more he swam through the waters, the more, he could feel the icy coldness of the water, pierce his skin like knives stabbing him all over. The more he swam towards her, the deeper the water seemed to submerge him. He was looking left and right for Frances and he was able to swim towards her because he could see her waving her arms in the air and could hear her screaming for help, but suddenly, he stopped seeing her arms waving in the air, the cries for him ceased.
"Frances! Frances!" Ewan yelled loudly as he continued swimming towards the direction she was being carried to.
Ewan looked left and right but didn't see Frances anywhere. Ewan frowned as he looked all around the flooded up to his neck water for Frances.
"Frances! FRANCES!" Ewan yelled.
Finally Ewan had reached the gate where the crowd was, he grabbed a hold of the gate to keep from going under the water. He looked around and didn't see Frances anywhere.
"SHIT! FRANCES!" Ewan yelled.
He realized she may have gone under the water, maybe she couldn't swim, who knew what had happened? Ewan quickly dived under the water and began looking for Frances, he swam underneath the below freezing, icy waters and felt the waters burn his skin from it being so cold. As he looked under the water, he saw a few bodies that were floating around, floating around, drowned and possibly dead. They were some of the people he recognized standing with the group at the gate. He didn't see Frances, he looked almost halfway down the hall for at least three minutes under the water and saw her nowhere—until—he swam over to the room where he and Frances had came out of, the room he and Frances had gotten clothes from. He saw her floating slowly in the area of the door of the room, her eyes closed. Ewan's eyes became bigger as he swam over to her and quickly grabbed her by her waist and lifted her head—and his, up out of the water, as well as most of her body. Ewan then quickly began swimming away down the corridor, the neck high water, chilling his skin to the bone. He looked at Frances with a frown.
"Oh, just hold on, love," Ewan said through shivering lips. "Just hold on, don't you die on me."
Theme Song: "There's A Boat Jack" ~ Titanic Soundtrack
Ewan continued to swim through the water, as much as he could, while still trying to hold on to Frances, it was a struggle, a REAL struggle, but finally he reached the other side of the corridor, the water wasn't so high on that side of the corridor, but the gate was locked. Quickly, Ewan swam as close as he could to the gate and held Frances in his arms and wrapped one of her arms around his shoulder to hold her up. He began lightly slapping her face to wake her up.
"Frances? Frances wake up, come on." Ewan said as he continued to slap her face.
Despite Ewan lightly slapping her face to wake up and despite him gently shaking her, she didn't wake up. Ewan frowned and began to shake her harder.
"Frances? Frances, wake up, come on now, love, wake up." Ewan said, a hint of fear filling his voice.
Ewan's eyes filled with tears and he frowned more as he began to shake her harder.
"Frances! Frances WAKE UP!" Ewan yelled through tears as he shook her harder. "Frances! Frances Ple—"
As tears clouded his eyes, Ewan began trying to perform CPR on Frances, as much as he could, while still trying to keep her body held up in his arms. He kept trying CPR repeatedly, and repeatedly and repeatedly but Frances wasn't responding to the CPR. Ewan frowned angrily as tears streamed.
"Frances PLEASE come on!" Ewan yelled through tears. "Come on, wake up! Frances!"
Ewan continued doing CPR on Frances but to no avail, and as he checked for her pulse, he then knew. She was lifeless, gone...DEAD.
Ewan looked away as tears streamed and he broke into light tears. He knew she was gone, in just that short time, her lungs filled with water and she had drowned. Frances was dead. He looked down at her lifeless body and broke into more tears. This wasn't supposed to happen, not to her, not to any of them. They were actors –JUST ACTORS, but Ewan was starting to believe they were all brought on that ship—to die….
