Logan dropped to his knees next to her.
The blood was flowing out of her legs and he didn't know how to stop it.
Logan was full of fear, because if he didn't find something to stop the bleeding she would lose a lot of blood. He had to think, think… think about it. She's dying. All that was around him was water, bloody water. Logan lowered his head and looked at her. He felt stupid at that moment, the answer was right in front of him.
Logan pulled off his left long sleeve from his shirt and wrapped it around her thigh where the bullet was and tied it tight.
Louise shrieked when it tighten. Her right hand searched for him.
"It's okay," Logan whispered.
Louise gave a roaring cry of nothing but pure pain.
"Shush…" Logan whispered to her as he pulled her up with him to his feet. She was barely on her feet.
Louise put almost all of her 136 pounds on him.
Logan helped her through the still rising icy water that was now to Louise's waist and Logan's mid-thigh area. He held his right arm around her waist and put her left arm around his shoulder for support. They walked through the wavy water to the stairs.
"Boats," Louise murmured to him with each little sound hurting her side.
"Yeah," Logan nod his foot hitting the marble stairs. He was half carrying half walking Louise up. "We're going to the boats." Logan gave a light kiss on her forehead.
The two went up the stairs slowly as the water rose up following them.
They had to get to the life boats before there was no more.
Louise became more efficient with her limping going up the top of the stairs and she was now more comfortable with it. Louise let go of Logan and started off with him behind her. It was like she didn't get shot in the leg. She was running down the flickering light hallway.
Logan was jogging trying to catch up with her.
A heavy sigh came in Louise's eat. She stopped in front of an open door that had a small little library for book lovers and a good place to drink tea or coffee in a nice peaceful area.
Louise turned to the open door room and took a few steps in.
Inside was Mr. Rupert Seymour just sitting there in a uniquely pattern brown and grey single seat couch with patterns of triangles and tiny squares. He was silently sitting there looking to a stone fireplace. Louise stepped in closer so she could see Seymour. If it wasn't for the groan they would pass without even knowing it. Logan was full of confusion as he stopped. He followed her in and became even more bewildered.
"Uh… Mr. Seymour?" Louise walked up to him.
Mr. Seymour looked up to them leisurely with a glass half full of what smelled of scotch. His eyes were full of water and his grey eyes shined.
Louise felt sadness coming from Seymour.
"Hello," Seymour lifted his head and spoke gloomily.
"What… what are you doing in here… alone?"
Louise thought about her wording very carefully. It didn't need to be a stupid question and she did actually know what words she was to use.
Seymour stood up and walked up to the fireplace, putting down the scotch on the mantle.
Louise followed him to it, still curious. Louise did actually like Seymour, he was a smart scientist who designed this ship. There was something about Seymour. He was king, honest, honest no matter feelings, and just creative. He was kind of like Bob really, well a kind of fit, successful version of Bob.
Seymour took a long, deep breath before exhaling slowly.
"Silence is good for the soul, you know?" Seymour slowly turned to them. He gave a sigh as he walked back to the chair, then stopped right in front of the chair. "She's going down isn't she?" He turned his head to Louise.
Louise gave an immediate nod.
"Yes, "she answered.
Seymour shock his head in disappoint with small groan that wasn't even fully audible.
"Damnit!" he muttered.
Logan jumped in the conversation.
"Sir, we need to get out of here!" Said Logan. He didn't even know Seymour, they were never introduced but heard he created the Seaic. Seymour shock his head to the request.
"I can't."
"What?!" Louise was now the one confused.
The two looked to each other's' confused faces, probably trying to decide who was going to ask the follow up question.
Louise broke the confusion and silence.
"Why?" Louise asked.
"I just can't leave, this-this is my life. I spent years creating her," Seymour answered.
"But it's sinking!"
"Yeah..."
Logan walked up behind Louise, grabbing her arm.
"Louise, we should-umm... go," Logan whispered.
"What?!No!" Louise hissed. "We can't leave him!"
"He isn't coming!" he hissed back.
"But-"Seymour interrupted Louise.
"You guys should go," he told.
"It's-but-"Louise looked back to Logan, her eyes widen. "We can't leave-"
Logan to Seymour, who now sat in his chair.
"Louise," he was barely audible." Come on." He lightly pulled her.
Louise pulled back, but Logan grabbed her a little tight pull and she went with him.
They walked to the top of the stairs to another entrance to the docks.
People were rushing pass them, one red haired almost knocked Louise down.
Logan and Louise ran through the large yelling crowd filled with men, women, and children. They pushed through the crowd trying to find a life boat. On each side of the Seaic there were twenty large light boats that could hold at least 30 full adults. Out of 50 life boats, 5 were already in the water, and they were going down fast.
Louise stopped right in front of Logan, almost making him fall on her. She heard her name.
"Louise!" It was coming from the right of her. She looked in the direction and ran to the calling voice. Louise ran through the crowd with Logan trying to catch up with her.
For a shot girl, she can run.
Louise went pass the large, rough crowd and made it out. She looked around, hearing the call again.
Linda called her name from a life boat with the rest of the family.
Jared went to help his co-crew members, but took Tina to the boat to her family.
Louise ran to her mother.
A crew man pushed Linda back in the boat.
The boat was full with at least 29 or 28 people on the boat and it looked as if the four crew members were ready to take the boat down. Only room for one more person.
"Stop it!" Linda snapped to the Majorelle blue haired man in the crew uniform. She pushed the rotund man away from her. "That's my daughter!"
Bob stood noticing Louise with his two boat kids sitting around from him and Linda.
"Mom?!" Louise pushed pass people around the boat to her parents. "The boat's sinking!"
"I know! Come on get on the boat with us!" Linda grabbed her daughter's left hand.
Louise fixed her right free hand on the side of the boat to climb in.
Logan pushed through the mass to Louise. She felt his hands on her shoulders, making he turn around to him. Remembering that she was with him and that she couldn't leave him.
Louise let go of the boat and wiggled her left hand out her mother's. She turned back to Logan.
"We can find another boat together." Louise grabbed Logan's hands and they tightly held each other.
Logan shook his head lightly.
"You get in this one, I'll find my own." Logan gave a faint smile.
"What?! I don't wanna just leave you!"
"Your family's on there, I'll find mine." Logan put his right hand on her chilling cheek. "I'll see you on the water." He gave her one of his famous smirks, 'The got 'ca smirk'. A similar smirk to when in his teens causing trouble. Louise really didn't want to leave Logan, especially with his family.
Louise looked back to the boat, to her family. It looked as they were waiting on her.
A short round-ish bald man in a Hawaiian shirt and tan shorts with light blue flip-flops purposely bumped into Logan and Louise.
"I'll take her spot!" the man barked to them.
Logan pushed the guy back behind them and gave an animal growl, half dog and maybe a little tiger to the man with sharp eyes.
"Back up!" Logan hissed/
Louise turned to Logan, seeing the crowd of angry people behind them, just impatiently waiting.
"I'll be fine," Logan almost whispered to her with a smile on his face.
Louise couldn't help but give a faint little smile back.
Louise stared Logan in his deep blue eyes just looking at the shine in each.
They stared at each other for five quick seconds with Louise just staring in those two shining eyes.
Instantly, Louise grabbed Logan and pushed her lips on his. It was a hard, passionate kiss, but the best kiss Louise ever had. She kissed him for almost a minute.
Logan was shocked by the sudden attack on him but fully joined the kiss happily after a few seconds.
Finally, when they were both out of breath and after all the "awes" were out of the air, Louise pulled back away giving a nice smile to her kiss leaving him star struck and climbed in the lifeboat with her family. Two crew men started to pull down the ropes on the boats, lowering them.
Louise sat on the wooden bench next to Tina and Gene across from their parents.
As they lowered the boat, Louise and Logan waved goodbye to each other.
Everyone on the lifeboat were quiet as they waited for them to hit the water.
"Bye," Louise mouthed looking in Logan's eyes.
Logan and many others watched as the fourth last boat went down.
Louise started to look down at the shimmering blue in the night. They looked like Logan's eyes, but maybe a little darker. Still the blue reminded Louise of Logan. The man she fell in love with in about a week. Louise was in love with Logan. Something really everyone was surprised about.
Again just like on that railing her first night, she didn't think. Louise let the wind take her. This time Logan wasn't there to stop her. She jumped up, almost tipping the boat.
Tina tried to pull Louise back down, but Louise pushed her off.
"Louise?! What are you doing?!" Linda snapped.
Louise didn't respond to her, but readied herself.
Passengers on the lifeboat started yelling at her to sit as the boat shook.
"Louise sit down now!" Bob sighed as he held Linda's hand tight.
Louise didn't listen.
It was now or never. Let's just hope that all that climbing out her window would pay off.
1…2…3!
Louise ran to the end of the boat, jumped up almost tipping the boat as she did. She threw herself off the boat.
"Louise!" Linda shrieked as her daughter jumped off the boat and jumped up in reaction.
Logan watched as she jumped onto the railing of the floor under him in shock. It took him a few seconds to coop with what just happened.
After he realized, Logan ran to Louise. He pushed through the crowd of confused people who saw what they all saw and he rushed down a small set of stairs to the floor under him to Louise.
Louise held onto the white metal bars as she climbed back onto the sinking ship.
Logan ran up to her. He helped her up to her feet then hugged her tightly with Louise almost losing her breath. He finally loosen up and let her go.
"I'm in love with an idiot!" Logan smirked with both hands on each of her shoulders.
"You knew what you were getting into," Louise gave a bright smile.
"Why did you do that?!" Logan asked her as they stood looking at each other. "That boat had your family!"
"But you weren't on it," Louise used that answer.
"I would have found my own!"
"Logan, I need to be with you!"
Logan gave a loud sigh.
"Okay come on," Logan kissed her right cheek and grabbed her left hand.
"
Thank you Barry," Louise said his nickname in a flirting voice and they walked up to stairs to the decks.
xXxXx
Dodie, Lionel, and two crew members, man and women, went down a short hallway on the fifth level to a small closet size room named as the video room. The only light came from the ten computer screens.
Dodie and Lionel sat down next to each other wearing two orange life jackets that were handed to passengers in grey comfortable office chairs with the crew members standing behind them.
"So we looked at the cameras and found this…" The female employee started and hit three keys on the black keyboard and a playback video started on the largest computer screen.
It was in black and white, taping the hallway outside Dicky Bennett's bedroom. The time on the right corner of the screen said 1:03 a.m. Seen on the camera was Cynthia. It was clear to see her face on the screen and with something in her hands.
The male employee fast forwarded five minutes and they saw Cynthia walking out the room with what looks to be Charlotte behind her.
The two stood against the velvet colored wall outside Dicky's room.
Minutes after, Lester came out the room with a balled up yellow apron in his left hand and in the right hand was a black body size bag.
Lester wrapped his apron filled hand on the golden door knob and closed the door behind them.
Together the tree left the camera's sight.
The female employee turned off the footage.
"What was – this doesn't make sense!" Lionel jumped up and yellow. "What happened to our son?!"
"Wa-was our son in that bag?!" Dodie gave a crying shriek.
Neither of the employees answered.
"Was it?!" she screamed asking again. She stood up and turned to them. "Was it?! Answer me!"
The male employee cleared his throat before answering.
"Well one can guess. No one came in nor out until we began searching. According to this Ms. Clarkson was the last to be seen with Mr. Bennett," he answered.
"Charlotte told us that she hasn't seen Dicky all day, so she lied?!" Lionel asked looking to his wife.
"Cynthia…" Dodie muttered going in to deep thought. She knew Cynthia was… well crazy, but her son? What did Dicky do? Somehow Dicky interfered with Cynthia's plan. Cynthia already told Dodie that she would do anything to sure it all went as plan… Anything.
Dodie began putting two and two together. Charlotte was the first in Dicky's room, she spent hours in there. Hours… so Charlotte is the reason Cynthia came. What did Charlotte do?
Dodie's train of thought was interrupted by the employees.
"We should leave now, they are doing a safety practice on the decks," the male said.
Practice…yeah not. That's just what was told to the crewmembers.
"Can you give me that tape?" Dodie asked the man.
"Okay," The male shrugged. He pushed the DVD open button on the machine and came out the tape, the proof. The man handed the DVD to Dodie.
"Thank you," Dodie nod to him.
"This is the only possible evidence of what happened to your son ma'am. We'll keep searching and if we don't find him we can go to the official police of New Jersey to report a missing person report," He told them.
Lionel and Dodie nodded in understanding as they all walked out the surveillance room, down the hallway, and up the stairs to the main deck.
On the deck was full chaos. People, guest and crew, ran around, screaming, pushing, and even attacking others.
The four became swept up in it.
The crew members rushed in front of a herd of running people with what looked to be about 100 or so people. They yelled for them to stop holding out their hands to block them, but not a single person even hesitated to run over the still yelling members.
Dodie gasped as the crew members were no longer visible by the crowd running over them, but you could still hear their weak cries. Dodie was almost certain she could hear their bones break.
Lionel grabbed his wife's hand, trying to pull her with him, but a call of her name stopped her and she turned.
Louise ran up to Dodie and Lionel in her still wet clothes to them with Logan trying to catch up to her.
"Dodie!" Louise called out to her. She ran up to them and hugged Dodie.
"Louise?! Sweetie what is happening?!" Dodie asked her, hugging her tight like Louise was one of her children, her long wanted daughter.
"The boat's sinking!" Louise answered her quickly as they pulled apart.
Dodie was fully bewildered.
"What?! Sinking?!" She asked back, shocked.
"Yes! We have to get to save boats before they're all gone!"
There was only two save boats left and the crew were being very very picky. Long hair-no, short- no, colorful hair-no, yellow teeth-no, bald head- no, very skinny-no, very fat-no, no children- no access, no young kids – no, only brown eyes, and NO pets, but most people lied about the last one.
They ran to a boat, pushing through the pissed off crowd.
One of the male crew members stood up high on the boat and cleared his throat.
"Only two more seats! One woman and one man!" The man hollered above the screams.
The four finally pushed their way to the front of the boat.
Even though hearing the announcement perfectly clear each one of them looked confused.
They turned to each other and the man above them looked down to them.
"Which one of you guys?" he asked.
No one answered, they just looked at each other waiting for someone to speak.
Finally, Lionel did.
"They can g-"Lionel was interrupted by Logan.
"No!" Logan quickly jumped in. "We can't take those seats, you guys take them so you can be with your sons, we'll find the other boat."
"Are- are you sure?" Dodie asked.
"Yes, now get on the boat because we don't have time to argue."
Logan was right though, they actually could fight right now while furious passengers wanted those seats and were trying their best to get them.
Women grabbed broken glass and started cut their hair and men started fight others.
Lionel heard all he needed to and climbed up on the boat.
Dodie didn't feel the same way.
"Really?" she asked grabbing Louise's hands in hers. It was like she wanted them to change their minds and take the seats and if Lionel wasn't already in an orange life jacket on the boat. She would force them to take the seats.
Dodie did something that spoke without words but with her eyes.
It was an easy language to understand that Dodie learned from her mother.
Dodie's eyes shifted to Lionel.
Louise wasn't amazing with eye language but she knew a little from Linda's motherly eye snaps that she would give to tell the kids what to do without talking. Louise widen her eyes snowing cluelessness.
Dodie shook her head to the right toward the boat and Lionel with her eyes looking to Lionel.
Louise finally caught what she was hinting at and her eyebrows when up and she lightly shook her head.
Dodie lifted her eyebrows in the same matter and lightly nodded yes to her.
The two went back and forth and while they did, Louise slowly moved her right foot behind herself to Logan and hit his foot with the back of hers/ He jumped a little, but understood what she meant by that and he put his hand on Louise's shoulder.
"Go!" Louise gave a faint smile.
Dodie slowly let her go and Lionel helped her on the boat.
Before Dodie sat down next to her husband, she bend over back to Louise and grabbed her left hand and pulled out the CD from her coat pocket. Dodie handed it to Louise and pulled Louise closer to her.
"Take this to the police," Dodie whispered in Louise's ear as she pushed the CD in her hand. Dodie then sat down next to Lionel with him wrapping his arms around her.
xXxXx
Charlotte ran down the hallway where many middle class passengers stayed and ran up the stairs to the main deck.
There was only one boat left and four seats. Two of which were already taken.
Charlotte pushed through the crowd to get to the boat. She was blocked by a hollering little brown hair girl whose face was turned as a cherry. An idea jumped into her mind. The child looked alone, not a single person even looked twice at the girl. Charlotte grabbed the girl who looked to be around four or five and continued to push her way to the front.
One of the African American women crew members stood in front of the crowd yelling at the guests.
"Back up Missy!" The woman snapped to Charlotte.
"Please ma'am my daughter here," Charlotte pulled the girl in front of her. "We need to get on the boat."
"Everyone got kids!" The member snapped.
"Do you know who I am?!" Charlotte hissed.
"Nope and don't really care!"
"I can pay you, "Charlotte whispered to the woman and started to dig in her pocket with her tree hand..
"Look I don't know what golden room you crawled your skinny rich ass out of but I suggest you that yourself elsewhere!"
Charlotte really wanted to tell her off but she needed to get on the boat telling as many lies as she can.
"I'm sorry Miss I just," Charlotte started tearing up fake tears. "I have to get home to my- my soldier husband. This is our daughter and we just have to get home, please! Do you really want to tear apart my family?!" Charlotte was crying a fake river.
The woman groaned and rolled her eyes at Charlotte.
"Get on!" the woman barked.
"Oh thank you thank you!" Charlotte cheered to the news. She pulled to the still crying little girl with her to the boat. "Shut it up you brat!" Charlotte quietly hissed to her.
Another crew member helped Charlotte and the child on the boat.
"Lowering the boat!" One crew man yelled.
"Lowering the boat!" repeated another and another as they lowered the boat into the freezing Atlantic.
Standing by was Captain Curtis.
"Was that the last boat?" Captain Curtis asked.
"Yes sir," a crew woman answered.
Captain Curtis sighed and started walking back into his captain's control room. He locked the glass door behind him and walked to his helm, grabbing it tight.
With the last safe boat down passengers started to go even crazier, some started jumping off the boat into the water and try to get into the life boats. Others just cried and screamed. Some sadly walked back to their rooms with no hope of survival. Families walked back with darkness on their faces and souls with their heads down, holding each other close as they walked to their rooms. They knew what was going to happen once the life boats were gone, even if the kids didn't. Young children followed their depressed parents back to the bedrooms in confusion.
The boat was going down and everyone was preparing.
Life boats were sailing as fast as they could away from the Seaic.
Left over guest were trying to find some way to survive as the boat tilt.
The lost guest cried to their rooms getting ready for death.
A family of three, a single mother and her one daughter and son who got a lower class room, prepared themselves. The mother tucked her children in on the bottom bunk of their bed and started to read "Goodnight Moon" to her children as the water raised to the mattress. Another family was one of eight who gathered in their middle class room and told stories about their favorite family memories and laughed together as they waited for the water.
An old couple staying in lower class cuddled together one last time as the water hit their feet.
They all prepared for the end…. Together.
Now the Seaic was almost a straight line.
The whole boat seemed like a long slide taking you right into freezing cold water.
Louise and Logan held on the white metal railing as they climbed up the left side of the boat like other guest behind them. Others just fell in the water.
The two passed a small group of prayers kneed on the wooden deck screaming to god to let them live. Before they could even finish, half of the prayers fell down the long deck and plopped into the water.
Louise tried not to laugh at that but just couldn't keep it in and gave a barely audible laugh but Logan heard. He turned to her giving her a faint smile.
"You okay?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay." She gave him a smile back.
Logan took Louise's right hand off the railing and slipped it in his left, feeling the chill of her palm.
They held hands together as they climbed to the back of the boat that was now up in the air.
xXxXx
Captain Curtis walked over to his helm holding on tight to it looking around the empty room.
The water slammed against the large glass windows.
He smiled looking now at the helm, listening to the glass cracking from the water. Waiting and waiting. Waiting for the glass to break.
There was half a second of silence and then splash!
Water started filling up the medium size room.
Captain Curtis still stood by the helm holding onto it.
A Captain's boat is a captain's love.
xXxXx
When they got to the top, it was like monkey bars.
Louise lifted herself up onto a railing bar and Logan quickly followed.
Below them was a young honeydew blonde haired girl who looked at yeast 13 or 14. She was holding on tightly on the cold railing. Her knuckles were turn bright red and her blue tearing eyes locked up to Louise's green, but a scream interrupted their gaze.
A man scream as he jumped off the back and almost hitting the propellers and slammed into the water. It was a 441.5 feet jump in the freezing water.
After him came many others, but unlike the first man some just couldn't miss the propellers and their dead bodies just splashed in the water.
Logan debated with himself in his head for a few seconds, They needed to get off the boat but they would risk hitting the propellers and dying and it's not like there was something down there to survive on. The life boats were already too far away to swim to and the water was way too cold to just swim in.
"Ah fuck it!" Logan muttered. Overthinking was only going to get them killed. He gripped tight on Louise's hand, standing up on two bars.
"What are you doing?" Louise snapped to him.
"We're jumping!"
"What?! Are you insane?! We can't jump!"
"Well we can't stay on this thing! It's going down any second now and we can't be on it when it does!"
Louise was about to fire back at him but he continued.
"Do you trust me?!"
"Ye- I do, but-"
"Then jump with me!"
Louise did trust Logan and he was right it's just fear that would be a reason to jump. She knew they didn't have time to sneeze let a known argue. So she just rolled her eyes to give him attitude.
"Ok," Louise sighed.
"On the count of three." Logan started the count. "1!"
"3!" Louise yelled and jumped off the boat pulling Logan down with her, screaming the whole way down.
The two missed both propellers and splashed in the water.
The water was around negative one degrees Celsius water that no one could survive in, but surprising thing is that two thirds out of the people who jumped drowned so they didn't have to deal with the icy water.
When Louise and Logan hit the water they're hands split.
Logan lifted his head above the water.
"Louise! Louise!" Logan called out as he looked around for her.
"Here!" Louise yelled swimming over to him. She hugged him tight and kissed his wet cheek. "I'm okay!"
Logan kissed her back.
A loud creek sound came from the boat.
Half of the Seaic was already broken off and down deep in the water and now the standing back was going straight down, still with many people jumping off it. The boat created a giant splash drowning some of the floating passengers.
"My god!" Linda gasped looking to the ship as it went down into the Atlantic Ocean as she sat on a life boat.
Behind Louise was a large wooden board.
Logan swam over to it with Louise right behind him.
The board was simple brown wood that looked to be the size of one and half of a door.
Logan found something to survive on. He turned back to Louise and lifted her up, putting her on the board.
Louise laid down on her stomach facing him as he held on the board floating by her.
"There's only room for you," Logan sighed as he put both of her hands in his.
"We can go find another one," Louise suggested. She started to sit up, but Logan lightly tugged her back down.
"No, stay, it's fine," Logan quickly told her.
"Are you sure?" Louise's voice actually had full concern.
Logan nod to her.
Louise laid back down looking in Logan's blue eyes. His eyes matching the water below.
They stared each other in the eyes and giving small smiles until it was awkward.
There was just silence between the two, but the splashed water and yelling swimmers.
Louise finally broke the silence.
"Is the water cold?"
"Yep, freezing" Logan awkwardly nod.
"You'll be okay right?"
"No."
"You will."
"I won't."
"But things will work out, we'll survive this and move on?"
"You'll live," Logan answered.
Louise squeezed Logan's hand.
"One of use has to die, the board can only hold one person."
"I'll get off." She moved a little.
"No you won't!" He pushed her back. "Only one!"
"When did we decide who lives or die?!" Louise snapped.
"I did the second we jumped!"
"Well you're wrong!"
"I'm correct!"
"You don't get to decide!"
"I'm the only one fit to decide!"
"I wanna decide!"
"No you don't trust me! You don't know what you want!"
"I want you to live!"
"And what about you?!"
"I'll be fine!"
"No, you'll die! Only one of us can live!"
"Don't you want to live?"
"Not if it means you die in my place! Louise, I don't wanna live forever!"
"What?! Why?!"
"I'd be living in vain!"
You don't wanna live forever?"
"My life… hasn't been great, my life is meaningless, Louise, I've done nothing with it!"
"That can change!"
"It won't!"
"Logan," Louise's voice got weak with tears falling on her freezing cheeks.
Laughter rung in Logan's ears/ Childlike laughter.
Logan looked up and saw the strangest thing.
Two little Louise's. The nine year old Louise, looking exactly the same way she did back then but in a white dress. Two of them just laughing, dancing, and walking on water.
"What?" Logan murmured.
The dancing twins walked over to them.
His Louise just looked to Logan not even paying attention or did she just not see them.
The twins walked up to Logan.
One of the twins gave a groan looking at Logan.
"Barry," the twin hissed.
"What?" Logan was confused.
"What?" the other mocked. "Logan sounds like a dumbass!"
Both twins laughed.
"Hey!" a woman snapped behind the twins.
It was a short black haired woman in a long beautiful white dress and glass heels.
Logan took a closer look and they looked exactly like Louise. An older Louise.
"Leave him alone!" She snapped at the little ones.
"Who- who are you?" Logan asked to the shining woman.
"Damn dumbass!" One of the twins snapped.
The woman snapped. "Shush!" to the two little girls. "I am Louise," she gave Logan a friendly grin. "That Louise!" The woman pointed to the Louise on the board. "We're all Louise."
"What?!" Logan was extremely bewildered.
"I can't with him!" The other twin yelled.
"Just go back to singing!" Older Louise hissed making them jump.
"Come on!" One pulled the other away from them.
The two started humming and twirling on the night blue water.
Older Louise stopped closer to Logan and kneeled down in front of him, looking him in the eyes.
"You're so handsome," she smiled softly. "I never forgot about you Barry."
"Forgot about me?"
"It was sixty-two years since I saw your face and still even on my last day I remember your face on this day."
"Don't you survive?!"
"Barely," Louise answered.
"So wait you're an angel?"
"Yep, surprising I know and I've heard all the jokes!" Louise gave another unfamiliar smile that made her not even look like herself.
"If you're an angel, can't you save us? Both of us?"
"Mmm. No I actually can't, I'm not supposed to interfere with the past."
"Past?"
"I should have said that I like to revisit this."
"Revisit?"
"Well I go back to this time of my life and just… see everything and I remember the best time of my life with you and really this is my favorite part."
"Because I die?" Logan was studying the glowing woman who claimed to be his Louise. "It's my favorite because you and I get to talk!"
"No! You're still a dick though goodness!" Louise snapped.
"I don't want to talk to you! I must be having hallucinations from the water!"
"Maybe, but I've done this forty-two times with you and I've heard everything you're going to say to forty-two times and I didn't do this forty-three times so we can argue again!"
"So what I just die and you move on? Get married and have kids?!"
"I don't marry."
"You don't?!" Logan asked shocked.
"I never get married or date anyone for that matter," Louise shrugged.
"What?!" Logan's voice raised. "Never?! Because I died?!"
"You just weren't happy when you thought I got married!"
"Yeah, but that's marriage, not dating, ever! That's different!"
"I was too busy for meaningless relationships when the love of my life was dead, Barry!"
"Then let me live, to be with you, so you're not wasting your life alone! You don't deserve to be lonely because of me!"
"Barry," Louise gave another smile. You don't have to give me anything else, you have given me something no other man could."
"What?"
"That's not important, you have to die! I know what you're about to say so don't even say it! You're going to die and it will be better for you to accept that and close your eyes. You'll wake up in heaven because you made it and you'll see me soon in sixty-two years but it will seem faster to you up there. Barry, I love you. Just close your eyes." Louise stood up. She backed away.
The twins came back ready to say their goodbyes.
One walked up to Logan.
"You're still a dumbass Barry," she smiled.
"A big dumbass," The other one joined in.
The twins kissed each of Logan's cheeks.
"And these dresses?! Really! If you ever picture us in this again oww!" Both snapped at the same time, then moved to each side of him, one splashing water on his face as they moved.
"1…2…3!" older Louise counted and at 3 Logan closed his eyes and let go of the board. "Bye Barry."
The three angels of Louise walked to a boat that held six crew members. They sat down on an empty row watching board Louise.
"Why didn't you tell him what he gave us?" One of the twins asked.
"He wouldn't let go if he knew." Older Louise watched closely.
"What do we do now?" the other asked.
"We just watch."
"This is my favorite part." The twin looked to the other. "Are you crying?!"
"What?! I'm not crying, I have water in my eyes!"
"Ha! Yeah tears!" she laughed.
"We should go, it's over now," the older Louise told them.
"Okay." Both said together.
Older Louise grabbed the two of them, pulling them into a hug.
"Gross!"
"Oh shut up!" Older Louise laughed.
After a few second they pulled apart.
"See you in the past," older Louise smiled.
"See you in the future," the twins answered.

Louise was going to freeze to death and join the sea of ice if she was to stay on board.
There was a small boat full of five crew members looking for any survivors.
She needed their attention. Louise looked through the sea of ice and noticed something shimmering in the water. She didn't know what it was and really didn't even care. Louise slowly and weakly paddled over to it and hit a thick dead crew member's head.
Inside his mouth was the shimmering item. The shimmering whistle.
Louise pulled the ice covered metal out of his ice cold mouth. She dropped it between her lips and pushed all her air into it.
A bright white light filled her eyes and the sound of fireworks rung her ears.
