Bella Collins whimpered in her bunk, curling up beside her brother in a tighter ball.
The ship was safe, unsinkable even and yet she couldn't shake the feeling in her gut that something would go horribly wrong, something was going to happen, something big and bad and she just knew it.
"Bells?"
"Hey Sean"
Bella's older brother, Sean, sat up and looked down at his sister, ruffling her hair a little.
"What're you doing up?"
"Couldn't sleep?"
"Bad feeling?"
"Sean something's gonna go wrong I just know it, I have this feeling....a sinking feeling that something will go wrong, I keep getting nightmares about the ship sinking and we...."
Bella trailed off and Sean frowned, wrapping his arms around Bella and hugging her tight.
"Bells the ship is safe, unsinkable"
"I know I just can't shake this feeling"
"It'll be okay Bella, nothing will hurt you"
"Okay Sean".
Slowly the two drifted off to sleep again, Bella holding her pillow close as she nodded off and she thought yeah....she'd be safe.
The Titanic was unsinkable after all.
