The Girl in the Striped Pajamas

Finn Hudson-Hummel really hated his job, he really did. The one thing Finn hated seeing was people suffering and that's something he had to see every day. His mother told him that it was something he had to get use to, she even liked the fact that she was getting help around the house. He hoped that deep down in his heart that she was just as scared as he was and he hoped that his stepfather and stepbrother where scared of the man that had Germany in the palm of his hand. He hoped that his family, like himself, was scared to go against a power hungry man that had brain washed a whole country. Even though Finn would never say it out loud, he wished that they would lose the war and someone could kill the man that killing innocent people. Yes, Finn Hudson-Hummel was a Nazi, and his back yard was a Jewish Concentration Camp.

Finn took a deep breath before walking into his mansion sized home, he had been down at the children's camp all day and it truly broke his 16 year old heart to see young ones just pure skin and bone. He hated this life and he prayed to God every day that he wouldn't burn in hell for just letting them waste away. When Finn entered the foyer he broke down, he couldn't hold the tears back. They were literally brainwashing these children to think that they must work for them, that they were slaves. Finn hated himself, he hated waking up every morning, and it got so bad that he wouldn't look in the mirror anymore. He needed to leave, he needed to surrender himself to the American Army and…

Cradle me where southern skies can watch me with a million eyes, Oh sing me to sleep, Lullaby of the leaves

He suddenly looked up when he heard singing, beautiful singing, it was like a voice of an angel. Finn walked over to the dining room and saw a girl polishing his mother's fine crystal. Finn was at a loss of words when he saw her, she was beautiful, and she was an angel. Her long dark hair was in a long braid that she had resting on her shoulder and her eyes, they seemed to sparkle as she sang a song that was familiar to him, it was one that he really like. But he did notice that she was in the striped clothing, a long striped night gown and he frowned. How someone this beautiful who had a voice of an angel could be considered as ugly? He stood against the archway and kept listening, he didn't see evil in this girl, he saw evil in the rest of the men that would rape theses innocent girls.

Cover me with heaven's blue and let me dream a dream or two,

Oh sing me to sleep, Lullaby of the leaves

Finn smiled to himself and opened his mouth to speak but found that he couldn't form a single thought or word, he was taken by her voice and her beauty. The girl spun around, still engrossed with her song. The way she let the music take control of her body…it was something he had never seen before. She turned around again and picked up another glass and noticed his presence, she jumped and dropped the glass. Dread filled her innocent face and she knelt down to pick up the broken glass. Finn made his way over to her and knelt down across from her.

"Here," he said. "Let me, I'm sorry I scared you it's just…your voice, its lovely."

A blush formed on the girl's natural tanned skin. "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that." She muttered.

Finn smiled and nodded, they never talked back to him, and he really liked this girl. "Where did you learn to sing like that?."

She looked up at him, her bangs covering her eyes that still sparkled like stars. "I used to do musical theater…I had a dream when I was a child to move to America and become a famous singer….I'm sorry, that's silly of me to think about that."

Finn shook his head. "No, I think it's an amazing dream." His rough hands brushed against her raw hands while trying to pick up the glass and he felt a spark between them. Finn licked his lips and took a deep breath. "I'm Finn, who are you."

The girl seemed in shock as she back up onto her knees and placing her hands into her lap. "I'm Rachel Berry."

"Well Rachel, lemme help you with those glasses." He said as he reached for a rag.

"Won't you get in trouble?" She asked him with a hint of amusement in her voice.

Finn shrugged his shoulders and gave her a wink. "I'll take the risk, and I would like to know more about you, since you will be working in the house…I live here with my mom, stepdad, and step brother."

Rachel smiled and Finn almost reached over to run a finger over her full lips. "You're different from the others…why are you being so kind? Is this some kind of trick to get me to-?"

Finn shook his head no and stuttered for words. "No, no, no I'd never do that to you! You wanna know a secret?" He didn't wait for her to answer. "I'm not like the others…I uh, this is really hard for me to admit but I don't believe in this…in this war and in Hitler. I think what he is doing is wrong, and I think that he should die a gruesome death for this."

Rachel looked at him, taking in his words slowly. "Then why do you where his uniform, why do you support his symbol?"

"I don't my family does." He told her.

"Then why didn't you run away?" she asked him in a hushed tone.

Finn sighed. "They are my family."

Rachel understood she understood well; family was everything to her as well…if they were still alive. She was happy to at least have Santana and Noah left. The two finished cleaning the glasses in silence, when they were done Finn spoke out. "I'll take you back to your bunker."

Rachel sighed and put her hands in front of her, this was so deeming.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked her in a confused tone.

"Aren't you gonna cuff me like some sort of dog?" she snapped and he shook his head, surprising her.

"No," Finn told her. "Rachel I am going to walk you back like a gentleman should."

Rachel gave him a nod and they both walked back to the camp in silence, Rachel was taking in her surroundings before she was placed back into that hell. She missed her days of freedom, she missed the simple joy that one got after a rain shower, and she missed having a warm home and not having to worry if you were going to freeze to death. She missed actual food; she hated eating the rations here. But she did what she had to do to survive.

Finn cleared his throat and looked over at Rachel, the Nazi at the gate let them in and Finn walked her toward her bunker. "I'll be back for you in the morning understand." He was putting on an act for the others that where looking at him, leering and when she didn't answer him he grabbed her chin. "Do you understand?"

Rachel looked into his amber eyes and saw pain; she didn't hate him for some reason. "I understand."

Finn nodded and then looked at the other Nazis before turning back to her. "Just remember Rachel, have courage." And with that, he turned on his heel and walked away.

Rachel took a moment and watched him leave; so many thoughts were swarming in her mind. Finn was kind and charming…and something in his eyes…it was as if he knew her pain and suffering as well as her peoples. She didn't hate him, something, a gut feeling, told her to trust him and that's what she was going to do.

"What was that about?"

Rachel turned around and was faced with her friend Santana who wasn't put her for her religion, oh no it was her looks that got her put in here and the fact that Santana helped Rachel and her family stay hidden. "I'm not sure."

Santana sighed. "Well I know what I saw."

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "And pray tell Tana, what would that be?" She said as she linked arms with her best friend.

"That the Hitler loving lap dog has a thing for you." Santana said with a wink

Rachel just sighed. "He is different from the others."

Now it was Santana's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Really now? Now pray tell Berry why you believe that?"

"His eyes, something about them…I don't know it's just like, it pains him to be here…to be causing pain.

Santana rolled her eyes. "I hope that you're right Rachel. Now come on, curfew is in five minutes."

Rachel nodded and followed her best friend into the bunkers where she had a very restful sleep for once in weeks.

Finn, however, was having a hard time sleeping. He kept thinking of that girl, why was he thinking about her? Maybe it was the fact that she was drop dead gorgeous or maybe it was her voice or her boldness, she was very bold. It was like she didn't give a crap about what she said to him…he liked this girl, he really liked her. But it was forbidden, it was beyond that, he could be killed if he started anything with her. But then there was that smile, that beautiful smile. Finn groaned into his hands, he was in so much trouble and the worst part: His step dad gave him a break tomorrow so that means he will be home with her and she would be in his house all day. Maybe this could be his chance to get to know who she really was. He really hoped that she could see past the uniform he wore and he knew that would be a challenge in its own

A/N- First off, I do not own Glee or Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Also for anyone that has ever heard of it, It will not have the same ending. The ending to the book just broke my heart and I don't think that I could do that to Finn and Rachel. But be warned, as this story goes on it will get more graphic. Also all the Glee characters will be in it cause I figured out a way to weasel them in.

Second, this story will contain sensitive material and I'm also going to let you know why Santana is in the Concentration Camp. The Nazis also took people who were not listed as Hitler's image of perfection. If you had brown eyes and brown hair you were pretty much screwed as well, also if you helped the Jewish you were taken. Rachel's fathers are dead and Puck is also in this story, they will be introduced in the next chapter.

Third, the kind of Camp that they are in is called a Camp for rehabilitation and re-education. At these camps, the Nazis would actually brain wash the Jews and Poles to make them think they were slaves. They were not as bad as the prison camps but they were not a place that you would like to be. The ages in this camp ranges from 4-17.

Also, sorry gleeks but you may hate Kurt in the being as well as Quinn, but as the story progresses you will start to like them.

I hope you enjoy this story of forbidden romance and I am always up for new ideas so throw them at me!
