the Spanish princess (William Murdoch love story)

ch.7

"keep rowing" Lowe yelled to the people rowing

"We have to get far away from the boat" he added. Emilia was wrapped in a blanket and was next to Lowe. She was shivering from the cold. Lowe looked at he and than he turned around and grabbed Will's jacket and put it over her. "Will told me to give this to you love" he said. She smiled and whispered a thank you. She pulled the jacket tighter around her and smelled Will's scent on it she smiled alittle when she smelt his scent.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Emilia was now pressed against Lowe as she was shivering.

"I'm so cold" she whispered. She didn't think Lowe would hear here but he did. He pulled he closer to his body and said "it's ok love I got you. I promised Will I would not let anything happen to you".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok I wanna transfer all these women into a different boat. We have to go back" Officer Lowe said the women started getting up and goin over to the other boat. A lady was quickly getting on the boat and Lowe stopped her

"Not to quickly Madam-" he was cut off as he saw it was a man instead of a women

"How dare you. Get it there will you" Lowe said as he pushed the man into the boat.

"Harry.. please don't make me go in there" Emilia said. Lowe looked at the boats and back at her. He sighed and nodded his head. He wanted to keep Emilia close to him because that's what he promised Will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The lifeboat reached to were all the people were. "Checked them" the sailors checked the people and said "there all dead sir"

"Keep checking" he replied . While they were checking them Harry saw a mother and her newborn baby dead. His eyes started to water.

"We came to late" he said lowly.

Emilia got up and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and than he looked at the sailors and said "well keep checking them"

~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour went by and so far they rescued a Chinese man and Rose.

They were getting ready to leave when they heard a whistle go off. Lowe pointed his flashlight in that direction and saw a officer

"I see him! Row! Row! Put your backs into it!" Lowe yelled at the sailors. When they got closer they noticed it was Will that was blowing the whistle.

"WILL!!" Emilia screamed

The boat stopped and both Emilia and Lowe looked over "why did you stop" Emilia asked

The sailor bowed his head and said "sorry your highness but there is something in the way that could brake the ship. We can't go over it" Emilia and Lowe looked and saw that the sailor was right. There was something in the way.

"One of us is going to have to swim" the other sailor added

"I'll do it" Emilia said

"No" Lowe said

"Harry I've got this " she argued

"Your not risking your life" he said

"Look who you talking to Harry.. the love of my life is there. I'm going out there whether you like it or not" she said as he took the jacket off and put on a life belt.

She climbed into the water and gasped at how cold it was.

"I'm coming Will" she whispered as she swam over to him.

She reached him and touched his hand "oh mi amor your freezing"

"Emilia" he whispered

"Shhhhhh it's ok Will I'm here. I'm gonna get you to the lifeboat. Come on" she said as she gently put Will's arm around her shoulder and swam with him back to the lifeboat.

"Help them up" Harry said and the sailors helped Will and Emilia up. 

Emilia grabbed Will's dry coat and put it on him and pressed her body against his to preserve heat. She ran her fingers through his hair. He must of lost his hat during the sinking.

~~~~~~~~~~

It felt like days there were on that lifeboat even if it was only hours.

It was early in the morning when they saw a boat coming called the Carpathia. They rowed to the boat and the officers on that boat helped everyone on.

"Be careful miss" an officer said to Emilia as he helped her up.

"I'm so sorry that a beautiful lady like you had to go through that tragic event" the officer said. Emilia looked at the officer in disgust. She was on the boat for 5 seconds and the officers are already flirting with her.

"Excuse me!... I do not appreciate you being all over my lass" will said as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

The officer backed up and said "I'm terribly sorry sir"

Emilia turned around with a amused look on her face

"What?" Will said

She giggled and said "jealous much"

He rolled his eyes and smiled a bit.

A different officer came by and said "can I get your names please"

"I'm William Murdoch " Will said and the officer put his name on the list

"What about you love" the officer asked Emilia..

"I'm Emilia Salvatore" she said

The officer eyes widen

"Are you princess Emilia from Spain" he asked

"Yes I am" she said

The officer bowed his head and than grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Please come with me. We heard the princess was coming and we set a room for you" he said. Emilia looked behind her and said

"Only if my loved one could join" she said

"Of course your highness" the officer said and Emilia and Will followed the officer to their room.
