Chapter Four-
Southampton, England
12:07 GMT April 12, 1912
I knew what I had to do. I had explained myself to Alex and đã đưa ý kiến goodbye. I had no clue how long I would be on the ship hoặc in foreign nations such as the United States.
But my mission still stood. I had to stop James from blowing up the ship and killing 2,000 people. While the 100,000 onlookers watched everyone boarding the ship through the plank, I snuck onto the ship via a window. I climbed into the secret compartment I had built and stayed there.
Approximately eight phút later, at 12:15 p.m. on April 12, 1912, the Titanic left land for the first time.
Because I couldn't be seen bởi the First-class James Hauds, I had to hide in the bottom of the ship with all of the animals. It smelled, was noisy, and delightfully unpleasant.
I had managed to build a shelter tiếp theo to a tabby cat. The một phút I had walked into my shelter, the cat had mewed and leaned against the bars of the cages, begging me to pet him.
So I did.
Titanic, Atlantic Ocean
23:49 April 13, 1912
It had been a ngày and a half. I decided it was time for me to sneak out and try to figure out when he was going to blow the Titanic up and how I could stop him.
I crept along the hallway, the cat on my heels. It was late at night and I didnt want to get caught. It would be hard to explain what a teenage girl was doing wandering the Titanic in the dead of night.
I walked around one corner and got a beam of light in my eyes. I stumbled back. A guard was holding a lantern, looking at me curiously.
"What are bạn doing down here, little girl?" he asked.
"Oh! Uh..." I trailed off thinking of an excuse. I picked up the cat quickly and turned back to the guard. "I was just taking this cat back to its owner."
"And who is its owner?" the guard asked suspiciously.
I replied the name of a billionaire on board.
"Ah, I see." he said. "Well then, go on."
I smiled and walked past him. As soon as he was gone, I breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't encounter any thêm guards. Putting the cat down, I continued walking.
I found James's room soon enough. I looked inside. He wasn't there. Them I remembered they were having a party downstairs and assumed he was there. I walked in and looked around. His room was as messy as it was on land.
I sifted through papers on his bàn and put everything back where it had been before. That was a special talent of mine. Leaving no traces of myself behind.
I was going through the mess on his floor when I heard a key scratch in the lock. Leaping out the window, I ducked on the ledge right as he opened the door.
The deck of the ship was sixty feet below me. I couldn't jump. I groaned softly to myself and started creeping along.
The cat found my way down. It had surprisingly stayed with me the entire time. It found a pothole leading to the boiler room. There were a few workers in the boiler room, but I managed to slip back to my shelter before I was caught.
One night down and nothing to hiển thị but a cat.

C'mon. Did bạn really expect me to end it there? XD
Epilouge:
Slade moved into the room. He bowed before the dark shadow. The voice spoke to him.
“You failed me Slade.”
“I know master. But she is stronger than we first expected.”
“Yes. I know. I expected as much from her. But we now have her in a dangerous position.”
“Master?”
“Shade must make her choice. She has followed the Light for seventy years. Now, she must choose whether she is willing to risk everything hoặc to continue to play hero.”
“And if she chooses hero?”
“She won't.”
“But Master-”
“Shade thinks she is in the clear. But I have one last trick up my sleeve.”
