One Torpedo

It's early in the morning, and as soon as you woke up. You felt this feeling in your heart that things are going to be alright, when you looked outside. It is a bit foggy, but it'll clear up in a few hours. You and Sunset went outside to get some fresh air, and it is nice.

As you both walked around the boat-deck for a little bit. You can hear the caption.

"Sir, it's really foggy outside." Said one of the crew members.

"Yes, it is. We need to slow down a bit if we can't see our own hands in front of our own faces."

"Eye, sir." Said another crew member as he uses the... massager thing? Something that you send to the lower decks of the ship? That had you thinking for a minute.

Sunset calls you out by name. "What day is it?" You look at your watch.

"May 7th." You said in a quiet voice. Oh shit, this is bad.

"What are we gonna do?" She asked you. You picked the right date... again (May 2nd, 2015), and you clicked the watch... again. Nothing. This is bad. You can't believe that this week has went bye so fast, now you and Sunset are into a panic as you both think what's going to happen this afternoon.

"Oh, hello children." You hear caption Turner say as he saw you both.

"Uh, hi." You said nervously.

"Something the matter?"

"N-No sir." You said. "But uh... shouldn't we move a bit faster? What if the Germans catch us?"

"Don't be silly young man." Caption Turner chuckled. "We won't be torpedoed, everything's going to be fine. Oh, if you'll excuse me." He said when he looked at his pocket watch, and walked off.

"yeah, fine by my foot up your ass." You mumbled to yourself. Sunset puts a hand to her face.

"Great, we're screwed."

12:00 PM.

It's been four hours since you heard the captions conversation about the fog, and slowing down. You lay your head on the railings of the ship on the boat-deck. As you look to your right, you can just see the shore of Liverpool if you're not mistaken.

Sunset Shimmer calls you out by name. "You wanna get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."

"Yeah, I guess a little snack or something can calm us down." You said as you walked with her to the restaurant that you two ate at last night. The two of you ordered pudding, and you two had a wonderful time together. You don't know how long it's been when you're too busy just talking to your lover.

"Phew, I'm full." You said as you pushed your plate away.

"You gonna finish that?" Sunset asked.

"Nah, you can have it if you want it. I'll be waiting outside on the boat-deck." You said as she nods and pecks you on the lips. As you walked to the outside, you have a feeling that you forgotten something in your room. What was it?

1 Hour Later. On the German U-Boat, U-20. 1:20 PM.

Two men are outside of the sub, looking for the ship that their targeting. They both have binoculars as they search, and search.

"You find anything?" The first man said.

"No, nothing." Said the other man.

"Great. Set our chorus for home!" Said the man that's about to head into the sub. Until...

"Wait!" Sait the man that's looking out. "I see something?" The other man takes his binoculars and, he sees a vessle, a steamer with four smoke stacks that's headed towards them.

"Is that...?" Said one man.

The other next to him speaks. "It is... The Lusitania." They found her, they only have one shot at this. "Lets get her."

"Man your battle stations!" As soon as the man on the left said that, everyone gets in position. "Let's hope this works." They all got into the sub, and waited.

1:50 PM. Some time has passed. The caption looks through his scope.

"We can't do it." He said. "She's to far away. We'll never catch her."

"Let me see." Said one of the crew members. "Yes, you're right. She's too far out." As the caption's about to walk away. "Hang on a minute! She's changing her chorus."

"What?" The caption looks through the scope. Now (to him) this is the perfect chance.

"Ready the torpedo."

"Eye sir!" The crew gets start on setting the very last torpedo that they have.

"Tube one flooded, torpedo ready!"

"Here she comes, boys!" The caption said as the Lusitania gets closer, and closer. As she's just about like two- to three hundred yards away. The caption of the U-20 speaks.

"Fire."

"Firing torpedo!" You hear one of the crew members. The torpedo launches, and is now heading straight towards the Lusitania at very high speed.

* * * * * *
2:10 PM.

You're sitting out on the boat deck, just waiting on Sunset to come back up. Has she finished her meal yet? Eh, you don't wanna rush her. What time is it though, and when's that torpedo going to hit? You start to worry a little. You reach into your pocket for your watch. Wait, it's not there. Where could it be? You must of left it in your room. Then something hits you. Wait, it's not that time yet. Is it...?

"TORPEDO CLOSING IN ON THE STARBOARD BOW!" You hear a crew member. You see people lining up on the side just to see what's going on. You also looked, and as you did. You can see an object that's swimming really fast, and it's heading straight towards you.

"HARD TO STARBOARD!" You hear the caption as the torpedo gets closer and closer. And the worse part is, you're right above where it's going to hit.

"Oh shit." You muttered to yourself.

BANG!

The torpedo hits the ship, and water splashes onto your face. And you hit your head on the floor. As you did, you thought about Sunset, you have to reach her. You quickly get up. But just as you're now running across the deck, another explosion acres, causing you to loose balance and hit your head on the railing.

BANG! BANG! This was from the lower decks. Could the cargo exploded? You hit your head on the railing causing it to go numb, and you're now bleeding from where you hit a nut that helps the railing stay connected. You winced a bit, and you ran inside to get to an elevator.

* * * * * *
"SUNSET!" You yell as you get out of the elevator. You ran out of people's way to look for her. Finally, after about a minute. You found her. She's still at the table, standing completely still. She must be scared after she heard the two explosions.

"Sunset!" You call to her.

"Was there a torpedo?" She said.

"Yeah," You said.

"What happened to you?"

"Never mind that. Listen, hold my hand really, really tightly. Don't let go, okay?"

"Okay?" She said.

"Good, lets head to the room."

"Are you crazy?"

"The watch is in there! I forgot it this morning! We need that damn thing to get the hell out of here! Come on, lets go!"

* * * * * *
No time has passed as you and Sunset reached your room. You looked as fast as you could for that watch.

"Come on, come on, come on. Where is it." You said as you looked as fast as you can. Sunset helps out.

"I found it!" She said. You look over and you see that she has it in her hand.

"Where did you find that?"

"It was under my pillow. I must of checked the time when we were taking a little nap. Sorry." A loud groan is heard through out the ship, and you can already feel water to your feet. The ship's sinking fast.

"We'll talk about that later. Come on." You said as you and Sunset Shimmer ran out to the boat-deck. Hearing nothing but splashing water to your feet as you and her run down the hallway.

* * * * * *

Finally, you reach the boat-deck as soon as you can. You're just right beside the steering room as you like to call it. You can hear the caption and the crew.

"This is bad!" Said one of the crew members.

"Sir, she's not responding sir!" Said the man behind the steering wheel.

"Hard to starboard!" You hear the caption. You also see one man that's on the phone.

"We lost pressure." He said as he puts it back on the holder. Caption Turner thinks for a minute.

"Alright. Get the command signal." He said to a crew member.

"Eye sir."

"You." The caption says as he points to another crew member. "Go to the engine room, found out what the problem is, and explain to me when you get back."

"Eye, sir!" He said as he ran off.

"What do we do now, sir?" Another crew member said, when the man behind the steering wheel breaks the captions thinking.

"Sir. Seven degrees on the starboard, sir."

Caption Turner now explains. "At this rate we won't make it to port. Lower the lifeboats to the rail ending ,Anderson, but don't launch until we slowed."

Slowed?

"Yes sir." Anderson said, there was a short pause. "Good luck." He said as he walked off.

"Slowed?" Sunset said looking at you. You look to the side of the ship and notice that it's starting to lean on the starboard side, and you are on the starboard side. You can also tell that the ship is also still moving. Is the engine running still, or has it stop when the torpedo hit? You don't know. But it's still moving.

"Come on lets go! We don't have much time!." You said as you grabbed her hand and raced to the lifeboats.
