thanks to my lovely beta untidytowns for her input and being my own personal alice. ;)
Berlin, Germany July 1942
Isabela knew as soon as she set foot around the corner what was going on. The men in their black uniforms stood at attention in front of the apartment building. She discretely tugged the tan armband from her jacket sleeve and tucked it into her front pocket. Her eyes remained on the street before her as she crossed. Though her interest (and fear,) was piqued she knew better than to place herself in their line of sight. She listened to her shoes as they tapped along the sidewalk, stopping once she had made it a few blocks from the men. She turned back just in time to see more black uniformed men emerging from the building, people in tow. Isabela knew that if she were to continue to stand where she was, she would eventually watch her father and brother be forced into a truck and carted off.
"If they come for us, you must run," she mumbled softly. Her father had spoken these words to her only hours before.
Feeling the tears welling in her eyes, she turned abruptly, the red white and black of the men's armbands blurring in her vision. She was barely to the end of the street when the Gestapo trucks carrying her father and brother sped past her.
Her body sagged against the window she found next to her as her breath came in harsh gasps. Instinctively her arms wound themselves around her midsection, and she found that it did not truly matter that her dress had slid farther up her thighs. They were gone. She had nowhere to go. All Isabela Schwan had were the clothes on her back and the disgusting armband labeling her: Juden.
please leave reviews.. i've had this idea roaming around in my head for a while and have been dying to get it onto paper. i wanna hear some feedback to let me know if i need to keep this one going or just throw it in the recesses of my mind.
thanks, luhves.
