Thought you would like to see how Rudy made it, so here is my take on it. If someone else has written something similar, I'm not trying to copy okay? Enjoy.

Death's POV

I watched Rudy lie in his bed while I waited for the last few minutes to pass before the bombs hit. It would be the poor souls living on Himmel Strasse that would have their turn to visit me – after all, I do meet everyone once.

I'm not usually nice, it's just not me. Honestly what happened tonight, I wouldn't call me being nice. It was being amiable, agreeable and affable – and that's only the A's.

Watching him, he slipped out of the bed he was sharing with Bettina. He couldn't sleep – he was thinking of Liesel. He had something to tell her.

He snuck out of the house and took a long stare at her house. He looked up at her window, but then back down when a light caught his eye. There was a light coming from the small window of the basement. He lay on the ground and crawled over to look through the cold fogged window. He saw Liesel and chuckled. "She's fallen asleep reading again." He said to himself.

He lightly tapped on the window and Liesel sat up in shock. She slowly turned scared and felt her heart settle when she saw Rudy. She stood from the large Paint can she was sat on, and walked to the window. "You scared the Hölle out of me!"

"Can I come in?" He asked. "Ja, just be quiet." She replied. "I thought Rosa was a heavy sleeper." "Ja, but if she gets up she'll murder you." Rudy laughed back. Liesel turned and headed up the basement stairs to let Rudy in.

"Miss me Saumensch?" He said as he walked in. "Shh! What did I tell you?" She yell-whispered. "Sorry." He said.

"Come on." She led him down to the basement.

"It's freezing in here." He complained.

"It's better than being outside." She retorted. They sat on the ground on top of blankets to relieve the refrigeration of the cold floor, leaning against the wall.

They stared at each other, when Liesel looked down holding back a smile when she came back to reality. She didn't want to admit it, but lately she knew she loved him. It became easy for Liesel herself to tell, as she found it harder to give Rudy a good comeback, and was lacking the feeling to leave him one like she used to.

Rudy smiled back, and they sat there in some silence, when Liesel said, "And you came here because?"

"I'm here to take you to school, what do you think Saumensch?" He smirked.

"Very funny Rudy."

"I couldn't sleep," He murmured. "I keep thinking about my papa." The street was still waiting on his return, alive and safe.

Liesel didn't reply, but instead stood up to relieve her aching legs from their position.

"What's this?" Rudy asked snatching her book.

"Give that back Saukerl!" Trying to reach for it back, but couldn't quite as Rudy was pulling away.

"Why can't I read it?" Rudy asked.

"Because it's not finished." Rudy stuck his tongue at her.

"Just the first chapter then." He pleaded.

"Fine." She gave in; and handed the book over.

He wrapped a blanket around him and Liesel rested her head on his lap, lying down. "Go on, say it." A voice said in his head. Rudy began to read to himself and Liesel shut her eyes to keep the light out, concentrating on his breathing. She was waiting for him to say something, and she decided that she knew Rudy was going to proceed reading past chapter one.

I saw Rudy flip the page at the end of chapter two, proceeding to chapter 3 – Liesel was asleep by now. He stopped on the second page to close the book and shifted slightly to lie down. He felt sickened by the misfortune Liesel had in her childhood, losing her family. He wanted to ask her where they were, but she didn't know either. Together they lay on the cold concrete, sleeping.

Right now anything could happen... Perhaps it become morning and Rosa catch them sleeping together. But instead, it was a bombing – it was a miss read on a map – no sirens that night.

When Rudy woke, his body ached. He was in a line of dead bodies and he tasted salt water on his tongue when he saw Kurt and Bettina either side of him. Next to Bettina was his mother. "We have a survivor!" I heard someone shout. His head shot up hoping it was Liesel. No, they were calling Rudy. A LSE man helped him to his feet; he didn't even bother visiting his siblings. It was a glance at his mother and a whisper "Goodbye." He looked up, as if to me and said. "Oh Gott, Bitte let her be alive –I, never got to tell her."

Rudy's POV

My heart ached as I called for Liesel. "I'm sorry, there's no one else." The man said to me. The words shot me like an arrow – leaving me with no feeling in my legs and the urge to throw up. I started walking to find her, looking at all the rubble trying to make things out. I found the remains of her house and looked to see if I could find her. "Get away mein junge, it's too dangerous." A LSE man walked to me and said. "We've already checked this place, taken away the bodies."

"Where are they?" I demanded more than questioned.

The man began making his way down the hill of rubble, so I followed him. I saw Hans and Rosa Hubermann and checked for Liesel. She was further down the street to them, being carried away. I spotted her and ran – Please be alive!
