Until Death Do Us Part Chapter 1
1933 Germany
"Sophie, Sophie wake up" Sophie opened her brown eyes blinking frantically.
"What is it daddy?" she asked as he pulled her from her bed. She looked around to see her mother's tear streaked face looking back at her and immediately got scared. Her father was dismantling the room she shared with her big brother putting clothes that belonged to her into the sack and handed it to her.
"Listen to me Sophie" he started holding both of her shoulders. "Elijah didn't come home when he was supposed to. Amelia just came to us in haste, he was killed by them" he explained.
Sophie could not believe what she was hearing. She was about to break down I the absence of her brother.
"Sophie you have to leave" he explained she shook her head frantically catching the shadow of her bestfriend at her mother's side.
"No daddy I won't leave you and mommy" she said not fighting the tears falling from her face.
"You have to baby" her mother said taking a step forward "If what Amelia heard is true we are no longer safe here. You have to go, I can't lose another child, I can't"
"I'm going with you Sophie" Amelia said stepping forward. Her blonde hair was pulled into a bun and she wore a hat to hid most of her features.
Sophie looked at her father again who nodded reassuringly.
"Come with me" she pleaded.
"We can't, your mother can't travel with the baby on the way and I won't leave her here alone. You aren't alone. Amelia is leaving everything she knows for you. She will get you to safety but you have to go now" He kissed her cheek and walked her over to her mother. She touched her daughter's brown hair as if memorizing the texture of it for the last time.
"I love you" she whispered to her mother.
"And I love you"
Sophie's father turned to Amelia. "I've always thought you were the bravest girl I've ever met. Keep my daughter safe; get her out of this hell before it gets any worse"
"I'll do my best" Amelia said hugging the short man.
"How did you know?" Sophie whispered in the dark of the night. They had been walking for hours towards where Amelia arranged to get them safe passage to Britain.
"My father, he joined the Nazis and I knew it was a matter of time before he led them to you. I couldn't let them get you, not you Sohpie" she explained, her hazel eyes glazed over with unspilt tears. Sophie took Amelia's hand and kissed it.
"Thank you so much Amelia, you always were the one to save me"
"I'll always save you Sophie"
They walked for another half hour when Sophie insisted on them taking a break. Amelia agreed to a ten minute break which landed them at the hilt of a tree leaning against one another exhausted.
"How long until we get to Aston?" Sophie asked
"I told him it'll take us 3 days" Amelia answered taking a sip of water wanting to ration it as best as she could.
"They killed my brother" Sophie said the realization of everything finally hitting.
"I poisoned the man that did it" Amelia said simply
"How do you know who it was?"
"Because I once called him father" she said looking away from Sophie not wanting her to see how much she enjoyed finally seeing her father paying for all the bad things she went through thanks to him. Sophie turned her face so she could look into the eyes of her friend. The hazel orbs showed no form of remorse.
"I'd do it all over again" Amelia said looking into the brown eyes. Sophie put her hand around Amelia's neck and pulled her closer to her. Their lips connected, which was by no means out of the ordinary for them. They were each other's first everything and Sophie needed to show Amelia how much she appreciated the sacrifice she made to save her.
"I love you Amelia" she said when they pulled apart.
"I love you too Sophie"
Four Hours Later
They were determined not to be caught but right now that was looking harder than they anticipated. A small group of Nazi officers were tracking them. It seems that Amelia's father divulged the information about Sophie and her family long before he died. They managed to elude the 3 men hiding in a cut out.
"Wait here Sophie, I'll distract them and you continue to follow the map. Aston will be waiting at the checkpoint there and he will let you through, tell him I didn't make it" Amelia started to stand when Sophie pulled on the pants she had stolen from her father.
"We are not splitting up" she said simply. Amelia tried to disagree but Sophie forced her lips on hers and pulled away.
"We are not splitting up, I am not sending you out there to die and you are not leaving me here to wonder if you're alright. If we're going to meet Aston we go together, if we die we go together I am not leaving you Amelia" Tears started to trickle from her eyes. "I already lost my family, I won't lose you too" she whispered.
Amelia wrapped her arms around Sophie and pulled her closer to her. There was hardly any space for movement in the cut out but it didn't matter. They were together and if they were going to die that was a small but welcomed constellation.
They regrettably left their sacks with supplies back by their resting place which meant they were most likely to starve if they weren't found.
"Let's wait here until nightfall then we can go" Amelia suggested. Sophie nodded in agreement.
"You won't have to wait that long" a male voice said holding on to Sophie's foot dragging her out in the open.
"SOPHIE!" Amelia shouted trying desperately to grip onto the girl. She rushed out into the open to see Sophie in the arms of one man and surrounded by another.
"Amelia" she said beyond scared. The man holding her laughed at them and whispered something into Sophie's ear. Amelia rushed at him and one of the other men fired a shot into her stomach.
"AMELIA" Sophie shouted as the girl dropped to the ground. Sophie squirmed in the man's hands to get to her and he rolled his eyes and let her go.
"Sophie" Amelia whispered blood coming from her mouth and her vision fading. Sophie cried watching the life starting to slowly drain from Amelia.
"Don't talk Amelia I'm right here" she said kissing her over and over
"I tried" she said
"I know you did"
"I-I love y-you" Amelia gurgled on her last breath
"I love you too, so so much" Sophie said as the last bit of life left Amelia's eyes.
Sophie pulled her closer, running her hand through the blonde hair that was now muddled with leaves, twigs and mud. She kissed every inch of Amelia she could reach before the men around her started laughing. They tried to come close to her but she started throwing whatever rocks she could find when one of them brought his gun up to her. She fell in silence and looked at the setting sun.
"I will find you Amelia" she whispered as the trigger was pulled.
Present Day
The noise of the cappuccino machine jumped Quinn out of her deep thoughts. It's been 11 months 4 days and she still hadn't seen the girl she spent that unforgettable night with. She tried as much as she could to forget her but it proved impossible when she kept feeling their fingers entangled or the feeling of the girl's lips on her own.
Shaking her head Quinn was given her coffee and went over to the table she dubbed as her own; where her laptop and research books sat patiently awaiting her return. Usually Quinn backed the window, not wanting to be distracted by the plethora of people walking by but something felt different today. She decided to shake it up a bit and not only face the window but she ordered something than what she usually did, which came as a surprise to her roommate who was working behind the counter.
She took a sip and exhaled at the change of taste. Her eyes disappeared in the book she was reading at the time for her class. She glanced over the words bobbing her head at the soft music playing from her laptop.
Something pulled her concentration away from the book without her being aware of it and she thought losing her mind. Outside the window was brown hair that reminded her so much of the hair of the girl she last made love to. Could it be? She watched the girl stop to look at her phone, wishing she could get a glance of her face.
'Turn dammit' she thought watching with great scrutiny.
Finally the girl turned and she recognized her. It was hard not to. Quinn's smile brightened as the girl laughed at something on her phone and walked out of view. Quinn ripped her earphones out and dropped the book she had been holding running out of the shop as quickly as she could, leaving everyone in the café puzzled; her roommate included.
The girl was gone.
She took off down the street the girl had been on and looked left then right then left again. There she was.
She ran as fast as her legs could get her and tapped the girl on her shoulder. It was a miracle that she was athletic or she would be out of breath right now. The girl turned and her smile disappeared.
"You" she said
"Can I have your name now?" Quinn said still in disbelief that she finally found her.
"It's Rachel, Rachel Berry" the girl replied biting back an overjoyed laugh that they did indeed find each other.
I know it's really sad how they died but some of them won't be such sad stories I promise.
I leave it for you all to assume how the girls always end up together. If you want to know my take on it feel free to ask but all I will say is open your mind to it.
Specks :)
