《Jack Dawson's Sister》~10~
Advertisement
Jack holds my hand as they and Fabrizio stand at the bow gripping the curved railing. We spotted some dolphins. They were jumping clear out of the water and then disappearing under the waves. Jack jumped on the rails,Fabrizio put me on Jack's shoulders. He held onto me with security and I felt a sense of safety by holding onto him.
You could see the bright and beautiful sun glistening down on the beautiful but dangerous ocean. Fabrizio"I can see the Statue of Liberty already. Very small,of course" Jack shoots his arms in the air"I'm the King of the World!" Me:"I'm the Queen of the World!" Jack"Yes,you are. My darling Jacqueline"
Jack sat drawing an immigrant from Manchester named Cartmell and his five year old daughter,Cora. Because we are the same age,we became friends right away. Fabrizio talked to another third class man"The ship is nice,yeah?" Man"Yeah. It's an Irish ship" Fabrizio"Is English,no?" Man"No,it was built in Ireland. 15,000 Irishmen built this ship. Solid as a rock. Big Irish hands" I awed at the dogs that passed by. The man noticed them too"That's typical. First class dogs come down here to take a shite" Jack"Let's us know where we rank in the scheme of things" Man"Like we could forget?" He stuck his cigarette in his mouth and shook our hands"I'm Tommy Ryan" "Jack Dawson and my sister,Jacqueline" "Fabrizio" Tommy"Oi! You make any money with your drawings?" He asked my brother.
My brother grew distracted as he noticed a woman on deck. Tommy"Oh,forget it,boyo. You'd as like have angels fly out of your arse as get next to the likes of her" she and my brother made eye contact. She had fair porcelain white skin with beautiful red hair and she wore a green dress with white lace sleeves. It's so obvious that she is in first class. A man appeared next to her with brown hair,brown eyes and in a suit and he was angry with her. She walked away and he follows her.

She used to tell me"I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions,yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people,the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice. With no one to pull me back. No one who cared. Or even noticed"
I cuddled up with my brother,he blew a cigarette and we watched the stars in the dark night sky above us. We saw the lady from earlier run right past us,we sat up and watched her. We followed her to the back part of the ship to see that she was already hanging off the railing,ready to jump into the ice cold water below.
Jack"Don't do it" she turned to face us"Stand back. Don't come any closer" Jack"Come on. Just give me your hand. I'll pull you back over" Woman"No! Stay where you are! I mean it! I'll let go!" My brother threw his finished cigarette into the ocean.
Me:"No, you won't" Woman"What do you mean,no I won't? Don't presume to tell me what I will and not do. You don't know me" Me:"Well you would've done it already" Woman"You're distracting me. Go away" Jack"I can't. I'm involved now. You let go and I'm going to have to jump in there after you"
He took off his jacket. Woman"Don't be absurd. You'll be killed" he took off his shoes"I'm a good swimmer" Woman"The fall alone will kill you" Jack"It would hurt. I'm not saying it wouldn't. To be honest,I'm a lot more concerned about that water being so cold"
Woman"How cold?" Jack"Freezing. Maybe a couple degrees over. Have you ever been to Wisconsin?" Woman"What?" Jack"Well,they have some of the coldest winters around. Me and Jackie grew up there near Chippewa Falls. I remember when we were kids,me,her and our father,we went ice fishing out on Lake Wissota. Ice fishing is where you..." the woman grew stern and angrily"I know what ice fishing is!" Jack"Sorry. You just seem more like an indoor girl. Anyway,I fell through some thin ice. And I'm telling you,water that cold,like right down there-it hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body. You can't breathe. You can't think. Least not about anything but the pain"

Jack"Which is why I'm not looking forward to jumping in there after you but like I said: I don't have a choice. I guess I'm kind of hoping you'll come back over the rail and get me off the hook here" Woman"You're crazy" Jack"That may be,but miss with all due respect. I'm not the one hanging off the back of the ship here" he got her to turn around.
She now faces us. Jack"I'm Jack Dawson and this is my little sister,Jacqueline Dawson,we call her,'Jackie' Woman"Rose Dewitt Bukater" Jack"I'm going to have to get you to write that one down" he tried to help her back onto the ship but she slipped and he caught her just in time.
He helped pull her up and he was able to get her back into the ship. People who assist on the ship arrived at the scene"What is all this?" The man saw Rose's ripped dress and he pointed at my brother"You stand back! And don't move an inch! Fetch the Master of Arms!"
Rich people came up along with the man from earlier. I sat with Rose and she comforted me as I watched my brother was being arrested. Man"This is completely unacceptable. What made you think that you could put your hands on my fiancée?!" Jack looked at me and Rose. The man became angry with him"Look at me! You filth! What do you think you were doing?!"
Rose"Cal! Cal! Stop! It was an accident!" Cal"An accident?" Rose"It was. Stupid,really. I was leaning over and I slipped. I was leaning far over to see the..uh,uh,uh...propellers and I slipped and I would've gone overboard but Mr. Dawson here saved me and almost went over himself" Cal"She wanted to see the propellers" Man"Like I said. Women and machinery do not mix" Master of Arms"Was that the way of it?" Me and Rose looked at my brother,hoping that he would catch on to Rose's obvious lie Jack"Yeah. That was pretty much it"
Man"Well,the boys a hero,then,good for you,son. Well done. So all's well and back to our brandy,eh?" They removed the handcuffs from Jack. Cal looked at Rose"You must be freezing. Let's get you inside" the man looked at Cal"Perhaps a little something for the boy and the little girl beside him?" Cal"Of course. Love joy,I think a $20 should do it"
Rose"Is that the going rate for saving the woman you love?" Cal"Hmm. Rose is displeased. What to do? I know" Cal walked over to Jack and I"Perhaps you and your young one can join us for dinner tomorrow night. To regal our group with your heroic tale" Jack looked at me"What do you think,honey?" I nodded"Sure,count us in" Cal"Good" everyone walked away,Lovejoy and Jack shared a conversation that I didn't pay much mind to.
"To illuminate the greatness that was Caledon Hockley. It was a cold stone...a heart made of ice."

Turn Me Back!
A fast-paced comedy/fantasy adventure starring a sassy female warrior striving to break a curse. Regaining your youth isn't all it's cracked up to be. At 23 years old, expert mercenary Willa Lang isn't exactly old to begin with, so she's less than thrilled when an 'undeserved' curse turns her back into a younger version of herself. A MUCH younger version - meaning she now looks like a six-year-old. Willa needs to turn herself back to normal, and quickly. But the woman who cursed her is being a complete witch, insisting that Willa show herself to be kind, generous and unselfish before she'll lift the curse. Kind generous and unselfish... Go on a quest and help a few people. It can't be that hard, right? Wrong. A light-hearted comedic fantasy that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones.
8 203Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

8 183The Barracuda Street Adventurers' Guild
Darazzo, the famous City of Dreams with its iconic network of canals, is a crossroads for the world. Its close connection to the plane of magic fills the city with magical pools, leading into the Depths. Those who dive into these pools and explore the Depths can find hidden spells and powerful artifacts, if they can survive the dangers. It's said that any dream can be fulfilled, if only you can dive deep enough. Ruling the city's rough streets are the Diver Guilds, who owe their power to their control of the unique magic and treasures they extract from the Depths. Against this cutthroat backdrop, three down on their luck women will seek their fortune by founding their own guild. The ever expanding ranks of the Barracuda Street girls will face monsters, foreign agents, cultists, and rival guilds as they carve out a place for themselves in the City of Dreams.
