The day the Titanic was going to begin its maiden voyage. It was leaving from Southampton, England. So many people were there to see it off. Mary Ashby looked up at fear at the large ship as her family waited in line to board the ship.<br/><br/>"Mommy, it's bigger then our house!"<br/><br/>Anna told her mother, Mary nodded her head.<br/><br/>"That it is..."<br/><br/>So large...too large...Mary didn't want to go. She had a death grip on her suitcase. Her instincts told her to grab her children and run. Head back to Dublin. Her children, all except Kellen who picked up on his mother's fears, seemed eager to board the ship. The other children were ready for an exciting adventure. To travel across the Atlantic and start a new life in America. Kellen asked his mother quietly.<br/><br/>"Are you okay, Mum?"<br/><br/>"I..."<br/><br/>Jonas wrapped his free arm around Mary and told Kellen.<br/><br/>"Your mum's never liked to travel much. I think she's worried she'll get sea sick. Right, Mary?"<br/><br/>"Yeah...that must be it, my dear."<br/><br/>Mary replied with a forced smile. Kellen didn't believe that all. Not that his father could see how truly afraid his mother was for this voyage. Jonas thought he was making the best decision possible for their family. They were going to travel to their new lives in the most luxurious ship in the world.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>Maureen was so excited, she was here. Today was finally the day. So many people were here to see the Titanic off. Her parents and sister had already wished her off. She was part of the crew, she couldn't wave goodbye on the deck. Not like a lot of the passengers planned to do. Instead, she was in her spot, dressed in her crisp maid uniform. She'd be waiting on passengers in the first class cabins.
