I run on hard steps, shoes that exposed my foot to the stones and glass in the broken down society that was once Germany. I am hiding from the Gestapo in every possible location, I need to continue moving or else I will get caught for sure. Right now I was hiding in an abandoned shop, it was burnt by our government for the owner was a Jew. Lucky the fire was put out because it was close to a German shop and they didn't want it to get burnt. It was my father's shop… it's been months since I have been near my hometown.
"Maggie, you are all I have left. Oh god please save me!" I say holding my little sister, we were the last remaining Simpson left. I was a 12 yr old Jewish boy being sought after because of my heritage. In a tiny peak hole I can see the skeletons of society, the shattered bones of Jews and a path of destruction carried out by the Nazi Party.
"Don't cry Maggie, your brother Bart will figure out something. I'll get us to safety some how." I say as Maggie was in tears, I know she was young but her infant ears have heard the hollow screams of the dead, her infant mind must dream flash backs of panic attacks. She is only 2 and she has seen the haunting genocide taking place.
"One day things will be better." I tell her.
"Hey, is someone in there?" I ran and hide in the basement below the store. Through the cracks of the wooden floor boards I could see someone walk in and search the area. It was Jessica Lovejoy, a famous face now because of her father. Timothy Lovejoy was Adolf Hitler's second hand man, they wanted to get rid of my kind since we are thought to be inferior to the rest of man kind, no use to society but its all lies.
"Don't hide from me, things will only get worst." Jessica says moving tables and objects to find me. Oh no, I'm busted!! She moved the table from where the underground latch was.
"And you are?" Jessica sweetly asked with her serpent tongue.
"Bart…" Maggie started to cry, she knew we were done for. I tried to silence her by rocking her gently.
"What are you doing down here?" I couldn't think of a smart response to that.
"This is my father's shop."
"You're a Jew then?" She asked. Her pretty face hid the witch below; it was her kind that was torturing my people.
"Please, I beg of you… don't tell your father." I say, a last moment of desperation, I didn't want to die but more than that I didn't want Maggie too either.
"I'm afraid I have to, you can either come with me or I'll call the Gestapo. They will assist you to a facility for your kind. "
"Before I'm sent to those concentration camps… please make sure my sister is unharmed, she is all I have left." Jessica looked shock.
"You actually care about your family? My father told me all your kind have done is invaded our land and stolen our money."
"I would never dream of such a thing." I respond. We Jews have always had it hard and if this is our punishment for killing Jesus, I am sorry God…. These demons ripping through my soul, they have left our people weak and afraid. Death keeps coming for us, we are running out of places to hide.
"Look, run boy."
"What?" I ask disbelieving what I heard.
"Run, I don't want you and your sister to die."
"Why?"
"This little girl hasn't had a fair chance at life, my father says exterminate all the Jews but I don't want infants to suffer."
"Come with me, if you are with me the Gestapo won't bother you." She said climbing out of the basement. My father said don't trust the Lovejoys because they are blood thirsty demons bent on causing shell shocked insanity. Jessica didn't seem like that, I know she was my enemy but she was kind of nicer… or is it a trick? Either way I don't have choice but to go up.
"This town has definitely seen better days, don't you think so?"
"Yeah…" We were walking past rubble and ashes. Some dead were left they were killed, all I see is mutilated faces. They must not have moved them for body parts yet, it is inhuman to think they use our body parts for furniture, hair brushes and other things.
"Sorry, what was your name again?"
"Bart." I reply with a smile.
"You must be thirsty." She said, she ordered one of the Gestapo officers to get us both a glass of water. It was scary the way he observed me, almost as if he was trying to smell if I was a Jew.
"Here Miss Lovejoy." The officer said handing us a glass of water each. I first give it to Maggie, we haven't had proper water to drink in weeks. It's amazing we haven't been caught yet, the rest of my family have been imprisoned. Now I'm walking through enemy territory and if they found out I was a Jew a thousand bullets will go through me or I would be arrested and sent to a death camp along with my sister.
"Let's go somewhere away from enemy eyes." I say kind of glumly at the stares I'm getting from townsfolk. She leads me into a forest, I am reluctant to go with her, she is one of my biggest enemies. Her family and Adolf Hitler are the mutants allowing us to be hunted down like animals. I am forced to follow her even if there is a camp on the other side or something, if I don't she has the power to get the Gestapo to arrest me.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Jessica asked staring at the lake. I have no idea why she is acting so kind, German's are cold blooded to my kind.
"Yeah, it is…"
"Bart, my dad is planning an attack, they are wanting to start a war. Austria has joined with us in support…. I don't want this fragile earth to be torn apart." She said sadly staring blankly into the lake.
"Neither do I," I lamely state, I was still uncomfortable being in the open like this but I had a feeling that Jessica wasn't that bad of a German.
"Look, I want to help you."
"But why?" I asked amazed.
"I don't share my father's hate for all Jews. Some are innocent and you and your sister aren't evil." Germans are known to be liars, I don't know if I can trust her but she hasn't given me up to the authorities yet.
"Run Bart, Run."
"What?" I ask in confusion.
"If I'm seen with you any longer they will question who the stranger is. Run from here, it's the only safe way out."
"Jessica… I prayed for a saviour and I guess you are her."
"Run already you stupid Jew." She said, walking away. I take her advice, I have no idea where it is that I am running too but I need to get away from the Gestapo before I am trapped in a death camp.
A/N: Sorry, I don't know if the treaty Bismarck made was still in place when Nazi were around. If they were then ignore that whole Austria joined German in support.
