Once Upon Titanic

Chapter Three

12:15 am

Emma Swan and Snow White continued to search for Killian and David throughout the ship. They went up and down the corridors until they made it to the second class area. They knew if Charming and Hook were not around the 1st class people, they would have to be in 2nd or 3rd class. It was worrying them that they hadn't found them yet.

It had been too late. They knew the iceberg had already hit which meant every level they went down was another dangerous risk. As they screamed their names in the hallways, many woke and were frustrated with them. Emma would reply to them. "The ship will sink and everyone needs to get to a lifeboat as soon as possible." Of course, none believed her; they just looked at her like she was crazy.

They screamed for David and Killian until they finally saw the two running toward them from the opposite end up of the hallway. "Charming!" Snow and David kissed. Killian and Emma saw one another, hugged and then kissed passionitely.

For a moment, they were all happy but the two men could sense something was deeply worrying them. "What's wrong, love?" Killian asked Emma.

Emma replied to him, softly. "Hook, this is the Titanic." He looked confused. He had no idea what that meant. She sighed and then continued. "This ship sinks to the bottom of the north alantic sea. Over two thirds of the people on this ship die!"

"If that's true, we need to find everyone else. How long do we have before the ship sinks?" David asked.

Emma anxiously told in father. "My guess is an hour." David, Snow, and Hook were shocked. They couldn't believe that it would take only an hour before the ship could be underwater.

"An hour?" Hook repeated. "My God."

"Yes." Emma responded with a sigh.

"Do you know where Henry and the others are?" David asked Snow and Emma.

"Belle went to find Gold. Henry and Regina went to get on a lifeboat."

Killian replied to Emma. "Good. We need to get on a lifeboat as soon as possible. Belle can take care of herself. Same with Gold and whoever else is on this ship." He seemed rude but who could blame him. All he wanted was for Emma to be safe. They ran as quickly as they could to the top deck to find the lifeboats.

12:30 am

Zelena and Mr. Gold woke up in the same room with Zelena on the top bunker and Mr. Gold on the bottom. The next thing Zelena knew, Gold was running through the corridors screaming for Belle. He disrupted everyone from their sleep as he barged in to each and every last room, searching for her.

Zelena could hear people fussing at him. Then something caught her attention. She heard someone speak about an iceberg that hit the ship around thirty minutes ago. She didn't even realize they were on a ship. She ran following Rumple until she found that people began to leave because the word was out that the ship had been hit. "Rumplestiltskin! People are saying we are on a ship and it got hit or something." Rumple flat out agnored her heading down farther below the floors screaming Belle's name.

They made it to the last floor still searching for her. "I'm going up, Rumplestiltskin!" She was tired of waiting for him to find Belle so she turned to head another other direction.

As she turned, Zelena saw water her direction. "Is that water?!"

Zelena had finally got Rumple's attention as he turned to see water beginning to move toward them. "What the hell?!" Zelena made a complaining scream. Rumple slowly walked toward the water until it met with him. He stood in the water for a moment to try to look ahead to see where it was coming from. A few seconds later, he quickly paced back to Zelena. By now the water reached Zelena. "This is bloody cold!"

Rumple said nothing as they both ran to the nearest stairs. Both stepped onto the steps and made their way out of the freezing water. "Belle!" He screamed one last time until both ran all the way to the next upper floor.

As soon as they came up the long staircase, Zelena dropped to the ground cringeing in pain. "That was the coldest water I felt in my bloody life!" She was rumbing her feet now, hoping to warm them up.

Rumple continued to walk forward limping slightly, falling every few seconds from his limp foot. "I'm finding Belle!" He barely could even walk in the hallway because he hurt from the ankles down from the cold water. He made it to the end of the hallway, leaned on the wall and then turned.

"Rumple, wait!" Zelena pushed herself off the floor and tried her best to follow him.

12:40 am

Regina Mills ran as fast as she could throughout the corridors of the ship, screaming for Emma Swan. "Emma!" She decided to make a trip downward deeper in the ship. She knew it was a risk but she had to find Emma and the others to tell them Henry had gotten hurt and the ship already hit. She knew Emma and Snow would have probably gone lower in the ship where there were second and third class passengers. She ran down the stairs continuing to scream Emma's name. As time went on, fewer and fewer were around until eventually everyone had left the area to go to the upper decks.

She kept heading forward until she saw water on the carpets in front of her. She had gone farther down than she realized. The water was flowing toward her now. She looked at it for a split second, in worry. She couldn't believe this was actually happening, that the ship is bound to sink now and it wouldn't take long. She stepped back and turned but at that moment she heard someone screaming. It sounded like a little boy. The scream had to be coming from one of the rooms nearby. Regina took a deep breath and rushed into the water. "Where are you?" She yelled.

Regina finally found what room he was in. "Get away from the door!" She demanded. The kid didn't say anything different. She opened the door and then pushed her way into the room. She ran to the boy who looked only about three years old, grabbed his hand, and comforted the boy. They came out into the hallway, she picked him up, and then ran to the nearest stairwell. The water was now to her knees.

Regina eventually found stairs to climb. She decided to go see Henry to drop off the child in her room. Atleast the 1st class area wouldn't be underwater for another hour or so. She ran as fast as she could, trying to ignore the pain in her legs. Her legs were now getting numb. She couldn't walk much longer. She put the three year old down as she was almost to the grand staircase but she didn't quite make it there. She dropped to the ground in pain. "Miss, you alright?" A man in a tux asked as he sipped his glass of wine.

A moment later, she saw Emma, Snow, Killian, and David hurry toward her.
