A/N: There's gonna be a bigish time skip in this chapter, but everything will be explained!!







Feburary 18th, 1940





It's been a while....I know. You might wanna know where we are right?



Well we're at sea. Almost a month. I mean it really shouldn't take that long to get to England to France by ship. Days maybe a week or two at most with all of the safety precautions.


Oh mate I wish that this were the case. Let me back track.





We had just boarded the ship- by the way. I'm on a fucking raft right now -and my hopes- Oh yeah. Niall, Liam, and Zayn are here too by the way -were up that we'd be in France in no time.



The hours past as we waited in a downs stairs department of this giant vessel. There were men of all sorts of backgrounds here; some had seen action while others were just like me.



Niall, Liam, Zayn, and I all stayed as a pack. If something ever happened we would always have each other.



About a week or week and a half in, we had to take some detours because of some German ships that would of over powered us.



Really it's a pretty boring trip. Didn't really even get to see much of the sea.


-BOOM-


Until that happened. We were all sitting around in the lower part of the ship when we all were flung into walls or the ground.



"Bloody hell," Zayn groaned as he got up. "What the hell was that?"


"Torpedo!" Someone shouted.



"Well that explains it." I said to Zayn.





"Shit what do we do?" Niall panicked.




At that moment everything seemed to go in slow motion. Another book sounded and water was pooling at our feets.



I looked around and men were running around and screaming. I felt something wet hit my face and as I rubbed it off, I caught a glimpse of it. My eyes widened at the crimson liquid on my index finger in front of me. Immediately my eyes focused on the dismembered bodies in front of me due to the debris from the ship and torpedo.





"Harry! Harry" I felt someone shake my body. I looked up and met Liam's eyes. "We have to find a way out or we're going to drown."


He was right. There were no visible exits besides the one door that we came in through, which was probably screwed shut.


The ship was tilting and we all went stumbling. I fell to the floor with Niall's body on top of mine.


More and more water filled the ship. I am going to drown. I know I am. No way out. And in no time, no more air....


Panic built up inside me. I'm not going like this.


"Everybody get out!" Someone shouted and I looked for the voice. Just by some damn luck, the door opened.
