We sat there for a moment looking at one another, neither of us wanting to move, however the persistence of Mrs. Łabędź voice forced us to move. My mother, alongside Mrs. Łabędź, stood in the living area waiting for me.

"Come now Edward, Mrs. Łabędź, and the family would like some alone time before they get ready for dinner."

She gave Mrs. Łabędź, a polite smile and thanked them for accepting the invitation to dinner. As we left I turned to give Bella an expression to warn her that she had no escaped our conversation just yet.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

During dinner, my entire focus had been on Bella's plate. I would not exactly call it staring, since I did occasionally look up when a knew topic of conversation arose, but I could not help noticing the fact that Bella, and her entire family for that matter, did not touch the "Winzerpfanne" Geschnetzeltes Vom Kalb nor any of the other foods around it.

I decided, for the sake of conversation of course, to ask about it "Is there something wrong with the "Winzerpfanne" Geschnetzeltes Vom Kalb?" I immediately regretted asking. Not because I felt that, I had asked too rudely but the fact that her actions afterwards increased my curious appetite.

At first, she looked dumbfounded, which surprised me since I expected this to be an easy question. Then before she started to speak she gave a quick glance to her father as if to okay the story she was about to create.

"Well, I am actually allergic to certain types of meat." It was an obvious lie, I choked back a chuckle, in such a short amount of time I could already tell she was a bad liar. However, I played along to help make the situation a bit more comfortable.

"Is this a family related allergy?"

"Well yes," her response was confident and she naturally perked up a little bit at the thought that her lie had "succeeded". This small sweet action made her even more amusing in my eyes as she started to elaborate her story more, "Many families in Poland do no eat meat, especially pork, since it does make us ill."

"That sounds quite interesting," my mother spoke this time, before I could continue any further, "There are so many traditions in Poland, I am afraid I do not know them all."

"Oh no," Mrs. Łabędź responded, "Poland is such a new country there are hardly any traditions that were not borrowed from Germany or Russia."

"Oh yes of course. Is the schooling system the same as Russia?"

"Well no, not exactly. It is a bit better however I doubt it is as successful as the schools here in Germany. We are currently looking for a tutor to help Bella with her German."

"Perhaps my son Edward could help her after school."

At this point I had to intervene to remind my mother of my after school activities. "As much as I would be delighted to help Bella I am afraid my new after school activities will keep me away late. Perhaps Gretchen could tutor her."

"Aw yes Gretchen," She turned to assure Bella's parents, "Gretchen and her family are long time friends of ours. She attends a catholic school in East Berlin but she tutors many children."

Charlie spoke this time, the first words I believe he said all evening, "That sounds perfect, Bella's school is in east Berlin as well she will be able to go right after school if is not too far."

"All the way down in east Berlin, Please allow my son Edward to show her the way so she does not get lost."

"That is a good idea if it is alright with Edward of course."

It was absolutely fine with me. It was the perfect opportunity to continue our conversation from earlier this evening and for me to get to know Bella better as well.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

I waited outside her door early in the morning. Since her school was in East Berlin, I suggested last night, as we were walking them out, to leave early so that we would not rush. Now here I was standing outside her door, ridiculously anxious for the morning to begin. What was taking her so long? Could she be getting herself ready for me? Once again, I immediately kicked myself for the thought. Of course, she is not taking so long because of me. Why would she? She seemed almost terrified of me the first time we meet and uncomfortable at dinner too. Though in complete honesty I mused over the idea that she was taking so long because she wanted too look impressive. I felt almost as low as Emmet.

My thoughts of Bella was interrupted as the door to the apartment opened. Though she was not dressed up, as I had imagined she would be, she still looked far more naturally attractive then any actress I had heard of.

"Shall we go?" Her movements were a little uncoordinated, she was obviously nervous.

He knows! He knows! That was the only thought that was running through my mind since last night. I was sure that for once, my lie had worked but now I am not so sure. It was such a dimwitted lie I'm sure he only played along so he can arrest me later. This morning I spent most of the time convincing myself that I was just being paranoid.

Even as we walked toward the train station, my mind was still weighing out whether or not I should trust him or not. In the middle of these thoughts, a man in a military uniform handed me a piece of yellow paper.

Achtung!

von jetzt an Das ist streng verboten wegen das jüdisch der Menschenschlag nach hineingehen allgemein der Fuhrpark. Wir die Zuversicht Sie auffassen jener dieses ist für der zuverlässig aus die

die Bevölkerung Dankeschön! Auf die Auflage

die Auflage Hitler

"Um Edward? What does this say?" He took the paper from my hands and had an obvious annoyed look on his face while he read it to himself.

"Just another ridiculous law forbidding Jews to go into public parks, I remember the last law they made concerning this was that Jews could not sit on park benches." His voice grew even more critical as he continued, "Honestly I cannot understand why our government is bothering with these laws, their almost pointless."

"Do you not like the government?" I honestly hate talking about politics but I saw this as an opportunity to learn if Edward really did agree with the 3rd Rike.

"Of course not, fascism is probably the best political system in the world. Democracy relies too much on the good of the people while Monarchy relies too much on the good of one man. The only problem I have is that now the government is spending too much money and time on unimportant matters when it should be more concentrated on important matters such as industry and inflation."

"I hate politics." What else could I say? And to my surprise he started to laugh.

"Good, its unhealthy to talk politics so early in the morning anyway." Then he did something that completely took me by surprise. He looked me straight in the eye and asked me something that I was certainly not prepared to answer, "Why were afraid the first time that I saw you?"

"I was not afraid." That was an answer out of impulse but I quickly added to it. "I was just uneasy about something . . ."

"And that would be . . ." I thought he might have just left it there but now I understand that Edward Cullen is very persistent.

"Bella if you're not going to tell me then you leave me no choice but to guess."

"Go ahead but I doubt you will be right." The train stopped now and Edward, almost automatically, put my arm around his, since the train was crowded, and began to escort me off the train. Normally I'm not the type to get nervous when a boy touched me, I had a lot of male friends in Poland, but for some reason when feeling Edward's arm around mine made it feel numb.

"Well lets see . . . does it involve school?" I shook my head. This time he thought a little longer as we started heading out to the street, his arm still holding mine.

"Does it involve me?" I gave a slight nod.

"Ah well then it must be my good looks that scared you. Do not worry I receive that response often." He was completely joking when he said this and it shook the doubt I had had about his intentions.

"That is good. I was afraid you did not know how dazzling you are."

"Why? Do I dazzle you?"we turned the corner and I could see my school now.

"Well not just me but I'm sure you dazzle lots of people." He let go of my arm and stopped.

"I will take that as a yes. After school Gretchen will come and meet you here."

"Oh well thank you." He smiled and turned to leave.

School was a mess the entire day. Not only could I not find any of my classes but all my classes consisted of constant German Grammar reminders. It all seemed like too much of an overload of grammar. While I sat waiting for Gretchen I started to silently read a book that the teacher recommended called "giftig der flache Hut" . When a shadow stood over me, I looked up to see a girl, about my age, with short blonde hair and a red skirt that barely went past her ankles looking down at me.

"Hi! You must be Bella. I am Gretchen." She extended her hand to help me up as she continued. "What are you reading?"

"giftig der flache Hut though to be honest I cannot understand it that well."

"Oh that book. I must have read it to a dozen children by now, its very popular. Here read it to me and I will try to make it simple so you can understand."

"eines Tages Gretchen mit Harold wurde das Gehen sobald man sie das Sprichwort beide jüdisch der Fleischer das Guthaben die Kuh notlanden während der Bodenaushub dessen der Rachen."

"Very good Bella! Can you translate it for me?"

"Umm . . . Gretchen and Harold are at a Jewish butcher shop and the cow is being killed . ."

"Well yes but you missed the point. You see how terribly the Jews are killing the poor cow? First slitting the poor animals throat then hanging it upside down. Gives me the chills."

For a moment I forgot that this was a children's book. Gretchen must have noticed the blank look on my face. But before she could say anything paper starting falling from messenger planes falling over head. Gretchen grabbed on that was falling right in front of her and began reading it to herself. "Bella you are polish right?"

"Yes? Why?"

"Well good news, they just announced that Germany is going to invade Poland to protect it from Russian invasion."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

giftig der flache Hut- Poisonous Mushroom very popular childrens book that contained various examples of why Jews were evil.

Fascism- you may have a problem with Edward defending Fascism but back then even many Americans believed that Fascism was ultimately greater then Democracy

NAZI IS NOT FASCISM!

Well from this point on its going to get really dark now that Poland has is being "protected" so get ready and sorry Waste land has not been posted yet so your going to have to wait awhile!!!!
