Chapter 11 - Horror Before Your Eyes
Tohru froze and she saw the Titanic go dark, her whole lifeboat gasped. Machi was in the same state as Tohru; in shock. Yuki and Kyo on the other hand were working their arms muscles trying to cling to the white railing that was attached to the stern of the Titanic.
"Tohru, they can't see." Machi said. Tohru turned to look at her. "How will Yuki and Kyo find a lifeboat, when they can't see?" Machi said. Tears upon tears began to flow out of her eyes as well as Tohru's. They thought that this was going to be a grea trip, despite the fact that Tohru had been taken back in time, but why did this have to happen here and now?
"They promised Machi," Tohru said. "They'll make it. I know it, we'll see them soon." Tohru said with the tears welling in her eyes once more. She had cried more in these few hours, then she has ever cried in her whole life. She looked at the pitch black ship fading into the darkness, but then saw something that was shocking, the ship was making very loud cracking noises.
"Damn it!" Kyo yelled wrapping his arms around the white bars. His feet were sliding against the deck as she was trying to push himself up. His arms continued t slip because he was shaking so much. He jumped and twisted but couldn't seem to get up! He turned behind and saw the middle of the deck's board, pulling farther and farther away from each other. The snapping noises was hammering in Yuki and Kyo's ears as they grabbed onto the polls for dear life.
Then, it happened.
Tohru and Machi screamed, the people on the boat were yelling and crying. Margret was leaning forwards in the boat with tears pouring down her eyes. Yuki and Kyo wrapped the polls into a bear hug and the middle of the boat snapped and flew onto the water below. There was so much pressure it was pushing Yuki and Kyo against the boat the widn whipped through their hair as the screams of people rang out from the lifeboats and the people panicing in the water. The boat slammed it's body onto the freezing water, crushing anyone who was underneath. Everyone on the ship had around 5 seconds to get ahold of themselves, because soon the broken part of the stern began to tip into the water. Yuki grabbed Kyo's hand and pulled in over the railing.
"We need to jump!" Yuki yelled over all the water pressure noises beneath them. Kyo stared at him like he was crazy. "Trust me! It's the only way this will work!" Kyo nodded. Yuki stood up still holding onto the white railing bars. "Jump! Go now!" he yelled. Kyo didn't move for a moment. "Jump NOW you stupid cat!" he screamed then grabbed his arm and the jumped off into the water. They hit the water with a large splash and immidiatly began getting sucked under the water. Kyo began to kick his feat and wind his arms more than he ever had before. It seemed to never end, his body ached, and his lungs were begging for air. Finally his orange hair peeked out of the water then he bolted gasping for air. He began to swin away from the sinking ship as fast as he could, still panting and trying to regain his breath. His body was freezing, he began to shiver and he turned around and finally saw the ship go under. He could feel the pressuresucking his feat back into the water. As hard as he tried, he went down again. He kicked and whipped and spun around until finally he reached the surface again and gasped for air once more. He didn't swim this time, just sat there trying to catch his breath. The he realized.
He couldn't see Yuki.
Tohru and Machi's screams started a pattern as all the boats surrounding them began to scream, yell and cry at the horror before their very eyes. The 'unsinkable' ship had just gone under the deep blue sea, never to see the light of day, ever again. Tohru, Machi and all the lifeboat passengers however didn't care for that, all they wanted as to know if their loved ones, were safe. Tohru and Machi almost knew what happened; unless they got onto a lifeboat, the chances of them being alive, were second to none.
"No...No...NO!" Tohru yelled. Machi just sat in shock, tears pouring out of her eyes like a waterfall, unable to control what she was feeling. "You promised!" Tohru yelled again. She was so angry, sad, and unable to control the broken promises that she had heard only minutes before theship met with it's ending fate.
Margret stared into the night and watched as the ship sank under the waters never to return. Molly breathed in deeply.
"Godalmighty..." she muttered. Margret had tears folowing from her eyes but stayed strong, she had to remember what her mother had told her, her promise. Margret clung her doll closer to her chest, it was the last thing she had to remember her by.
"W-w-Where is that d-d-damn r-rat?" Kyo asked between shutters. He looked around, most of the people before him were lifeless and silent, very few people were moving and still crying for help. He swam through the water trying to himself warm. Many people were hoping onto pieces of debris to get out of the water and stay warm. Kyo looked around again and agan and finally saw something, a silent man lying on a piece of a door. "God damn i-i-it!" Kyo said silently he sawm over the the man and realized that it was in fact Yuki. He shook his arm, nothing. He was silent Kyo didn't know what to think. A small crate wandered past him, he hoped on in hopes of being able to stay slightly warm, he also might be able to give some heat to Yuki. Sure Kyo hated Yuki, he hated him to all of his might, but death was the last thing he wanted from him. Kyo felt so cold, and freezing. He glanced around with all of his might, people were still screaming but not as loudly. He knew what that ment. He tried to force himself to stay awake, His eyes suddenly began to close and he saw a bright light...
