I know I shouldn't start a new story before finishing some of the old ones, but this has been on my mind for a while now and I've already written most of it. It's not going to be very long, 10 chapters or so. This is just a short introduction, the next chapters, if you think I should publish them, are going to be longer. I'll also update She Is My Sin this week.
Southampton, UK, 1912
"Well… She is quite impressive," Elijah stated.
Klaus crossed his arms and gazed at the enormous ship, she had to be at least 800 feet long. Apparently she was the biggest passenger liner ever built and the passenger facilities, especially for the First Class passengers, were designed to meet the highest standards of luxury. If there was something Klaus appreciated, it was luxury, why should he give that up while traveling.
Perhaps he was also a bit curious, although he doubted that this ship was so special than everyone kept saying. He had seen all kinds of ships, but he did like these steamships, they were much faster than sailing ships. The journey from Southampton to New York would only last a week, as unbelievable as that was. In the old times, that same journey had lasted months.
"Please be careful with that, " Elijah was saying to the two porters who were carrying their trunk. It didn't entail any of their luggage, the other porters were taking care of those. This trunk entailed Kol. Klaus was still angry at his little brother for all the mayhem he had caused in London, forcing Klaus to travel all the way here. Hopefully Rebekah hadn't made too much mess in New Orleans during the few weeks he had Elijah had been gone.
Well, Marcel was there to keep things in order, although Klaus wasn't sure if he could trust them to keep their hands off each other. Sure he could have taken Rebekah with them, but she would have no doubt pouted and complained the whole time and that was the last thing he needed. The porters seemed to be struggling a little with the trunk; Elijah was watching them like a hawk. Klaus rolled his eyes, always the protective big brother.
Kol had definitely brought this on himself; they couldn't simply draw attention to themselves, not anymore. Kol's little "holiday" in the old country had made it on the headlines even across the Atlantic and that simply wasn't acceptable. Klaus had thought that he had made himself clear after the whole "Jack the Ripper" incident 24 years ago. Kol truly had a twisted sense of humor.
Klaus glanced at the trunk and huffed, he wasn't planning to undagger his brother any time soon. Slowly he and Elijah made their way to the pier. Naturally the First Class passengers had their own entrance to the ship; they didn't have to mix with the commoners. Klaus didn't usually mind socializing with wealthy people, but they were often quite boring. There were smiling stewards welcoming them on board, the ship truly seemed to be luxurious. Titanic… That was a grandiloquent name for a ship. Well, it didn't matter, the journey wouldn't probably be very interesting.
