"Oh darling," My mother gasped. "Why its stunning." I stared at the large ship I was about board with my mother, yes she was right. I truly was a stunning ship. It is to be also far more luxurious and big then the other ships I've been on.

Titanic, what a glorious beauty. It was said that this ship was unsinkable, which made me feel a whole lot safer for this long journey to New York. I almost couldn't wait to be the first to lay in my bed, the brand new sheets. My mother and I were lucky enough to get first class tickets, to get to America. You see, we are not poor... But not rich either. We inherited property, and a whole lot of money in America from my grandfather. Today was the day we were going to finally put good use to it. I was fairly excited, for I would be living in luxury soon. I loved our house here in South Hampton but it was time to say goodbye and hello to the first-class life. It was my turn to move up in the social chain.

I, being the gentle man I was helped my mother out of the car. She smiled and we made our way to the ship. Saying our last goodbyes to our relatives, who unfortunately could come with us. We had our staff helping us along the way.

The loud horn of the ship dragged on as we all waved our last goodbyes to everybody. I took my hat and waved it in the air trying to spot my aunt and uncle. I couldn't find them but I assumed they were waving back at me and my ma. I took my mothers hands into my own and kissed them.

"Mother! Isn't this great? We will finally be able start a new life!" I said excitedly as I continuously kissed my mother's hands.

My mom simply just laughed and kissed mine too. "Yes darling. Your father would be proud of our new beginning." She smiled before she waved one last time at the people on the dock.

After our last goodbyes to land for the next little while, we decided to go to our suite. Once we arrived to our new home (for the next little while) we started to unpack. I claimed my bedroom and started to put the freshly clean and folded clothes into the small closet, my maid Mina helping me of course. I hung my best clothes on hangers. Most of my clothes were passed down to me from my father. Our sizes didn't have much of a difference, since I take after him the most. My mother on the other hand was a petite lady. She was much shorter then me and had delicate features. A heart shaped face with big bright blue eyes and plump pink lips. She had long silky brown hair that was parted through the middle that reached down to her hips, usually put into some sort of up-do when we are socializing. She is also quite young, 34 to be exact. Its not like her face was aged a lot.

Me on the other hand, I was freakishly tall. I had my mothers arched up nose and my father's dark hair. My eyes are my favorite feature, a blueish gray. Most girls compliment them... If they were lucky enough to get close to me.

After I put my last set on clothes in my closet I decided to go help my mother un pack while I waited for my staff to finish up the rest of my room. Walking into the other room I saw my mother putting all of her fine jewelry into her jewelry box and our other maid Hannah putting away some of her clothing. Smiling, I walk up to her and give her a big hug. She was startled but giggled soon after and patted my arm.

"Bertholdt, could you be a dear and go help Hannah put away my dresses?" She asked.

"Yes of course mother." I nodded and smiled at Hanna. Then happily wandered off to the closet and carefully pulled out some dresses and hung them up.
