Chapter 14 - CHAPTER 13: THE PLAN

After a hard day at work everyone was exhausted. The Ship was nearing its completion and so it was the RMS Titanic would sail once and for all.

Tedious days of work would finally pay off as workers could see the ever-grand beauty of their creation. Royals and aristocrats actively participated on viewing the ship on its final days of construction.

Queen Winsley, the full director and author of the RMS, walking around the bay of Liverpool observing the beautiful wonder she had made. Yet sadness continues to overflow in devastation of her past.

Her will to change what hath happened before, would be rewritten as a new name, a new ship would set sail.

While walking around the bay, something received the Queen's attention. A commotion had sprung between a devious group and her son, the Prince. The Queen already pulsed, pursued to the police station to talk to the devious group.

Upon reaching the Police station, Queen Winsley observed the three mischievous offenders. Taking a long glare at the three. She chose to talk to the tall one, Drew of the Circle.

"You… the tall one, You did a mischievous act towards my son and her loved one. I'll show you how to really punish someone. As a mother I think you know what would happen to your pathetic little life… Guards let him out, I'll take care of him"

Worries and fear come crawling into Drew's mind as the words of the Queen gives him shivers. He immediately swallowed his breath and got ready for what was to come.

He said to himself "What is her plan? Is she gonna kill me? Is this my end…"

The orders of the Queen were immediately followed by the city guards. Drew was taken out of custody and brought towards the Queen's wicked touch.

The Queen led Drew to a hilltop overlooking the town. Along the way Drew continuously felt anxious and worried for his safety. "I've never felt this worried my whole life… I hope my son and daughter are ok… as well as Lloyd and Cooper. This is all my fault, I should've not consulted my urges…"

Once the two had reached the hilltop, Queen Winsley ordered Drew.

"Take a seat…"

"I'm about to show you something, something that you will never forget."

"Don't worry my son, I won't hurt you… I will save you from this world."

"Close your eyes"

Goosebumps kicked in, Drew had no choice but to follow the orders the Queen gave him. Closing his eyes, Drew felt more and more uneasy about what was to happen to him.

A shimmering light came out of Queen Winsley's oracle. It was bright and red… The Oracle of Knowledge has been activated.

Drew opens his eyes to see a world of destruction and suffering.

Described as "A ruthless evil taketh away the house upon the hill."

Upon opening his eyes Drew fell to his knees, releasing waterworks as rivers of rage prosper inside his heart.

"You are no Queen, you are a slave looking for vengeance, dignity and revenge for the oppressors who mocked you." Drew uttered.

"You have my complete submission, I am yours for the using. My life hath no purpose unless to please your highness. Assert your command and thou long live the Queen." Drew added.

"Gratefully I thank you, but pity is not what I need. I assure you that after this you and your family will set forth in the Palace of your dreams." Queen Winsley replied.

Queen Winsley, now having control of Drew, began to scheme the outcome of the disaster. No minor detail was spared as the two began their vengeance.

After a while of talking, Drew and Queen Winsley began to descend back to the port…

Meanwhile at Nicollette, Tristan and Caleb headed out to the night Market to set their ideas on what to do about the tickets given to them.

The Night Market was bustling with people. The venue was filled with vendors and merchants. It was the last days of the RMS Titanic in Liverpool and was ready to be escorted toward Southampton where its Maiden Voyage would take place. Different paraphernalia and miscellaneous items were sold as souvenirs for the ship.

The three decided to take dinner on the deck of the neighborhood club house. Admiring the view of the RMS Titanic. They had ordered Noodles as it was their favorite, and perfect for a time like this.

"I admire these days, sometimes I wish events like this could last forever." Nicollette said.

"Our lives might go on but this is a moment I'll cherish. The more we grow up the more we unite. Our journey is not at its end, in fact it's more of the beginning. As time flies our union only becomes stronger." Tristan said.

"Upon the problem at hand, our decision is still not conclusive. What we make of this is a choice we have to stick with. I for one am all ears and ready to listen to everyone's choices. Caleb said as he began to initiate the conversation.

"I'll begin…" Nicollette said

"This journey for the months I've been with you has been phenomenal, our adventure from day to day continues to grow. I'm the luckiest person to be with people that are understanding and transparent. Though this ticket is a massive opportunity for us to see the greatness of the world. Upon seeing America many opportunities lie for us. We may never have this opportunity again."

"You prove a point…" Tristan responded to Nicollette

"Unfortunately our family, our footsteps, our bloodline is here… how can we leave those on which we grew up on? I suggest we sell the tickets and let's stay here, onto which we make our own destiny and fight our battles on our territory."

"Our tracks have been going around in circles, Our boundaries need to be expanded, right now our credit hasn't been the best, we are merely appreciated up here. Let's sail to the new world where we might find a place where we truly belong.." Nicollette replied.

"We all have shadows, yet to be debunked. I say we find our pace and trace our footsteps back to our origins. Let's focus on the world we hold and be grateful for that. Caleb, I know you still want to see Him again. He's probably out here looking for you." Tristan replied

"Our past didn't want us anymore. No one came looking for us… we are lost kids and we managed to live from the bread and butter we made. Let's let go and be free to a new world… Let's have a fresh start." Nicollette continues to exemplify her thoughts.

Caleb stood up from the table and raised his voice. "Enough… it's been tough for all of us. We all can't let go of this voyage we are in... Let me tell you Tristan, My brother is the least of my priorities. I need to focus on my present, and that's with you. You are the one that I've been looking for. And that alone makes me the luckiest person on Earth."

Tristan suddenly felt embarrassed. "I haven't met many people in this world, frankly they are all counted by my fingers. I imagine everyone was my enemy and I myself am the enemy. You and Nicollette are the only two people I have faith in. So whatever choice you decide, I'll side with you… I only ask one favor, and that is To live life with no regrets…"

Nicollette approached her friend "Your father would be overjoyed of happiness to see you right now, with you I feel secure. I promise we won't regret a thing, every word I say I'll always mean."

Caleb sat back down and gladly said "Well it's settled… we're heading to America! Let's take this ticket and head to the new world."
