Chapter 1
Written By BrittanyRae
A young girl of 15 with blonde hair
glanced nervously around the market place. Then she walked over to a stand and
examined the loaves of bread. Selecting the freshest looking loaf she paid for
it and continued with her errands. When she was done she glanced around once
more and then slipped down an alleyway. Watching carefully to see if she was
being followed Relena continued. At the end of the alley was an old crate.
Relena pushed the crate to the side a little and slipped into a whole in the
wall behind it. Then she pulled the crate back into place. The whole led to the
other side of the wall where a small dusty street was located. Either side of
the road was lined with old dilapidated1 houses. Relena
walked across the street to one of the houses and noticed that someone had left
the door open. Cautiously she walked in and saw furniture and clothing strung
everywhere. There were even a few traces of blood. Relena's breath drew short
and she frantically began searching the house for her family.
"Mother! Father! Millardo! Where are
you?!" she yelled.
"Over here Relena!" came Millardo's
voice.
He had a bullet wound in his upper arm
with the blood beginning to dry.
"What happened here? Where are Mother
and Father?" Relena asked worriedly.
"Calm down Relena and listen to me.
The Nazis took them. They tried to take me but I struggled too much. They shot
me in the arm and knocked me unconscious. They thought I was dead so they left
me here. Most likely Mother and Father are on their way to one of the Nazi
camps as we speak. We have to stay alive in order to try and save them. Now
listen, I have a plan. I'm going to join up with the Nazis so that no one
suspects I'm Jewish. You and I are lucky that we have blonde hair- it makes us
look like them. Stay here and don't let anyone find out that you're a Jew. If
the soldiers come back act calmly. Do not stay in this house- they know it
belongs to Jews. If someone finds out you're Jewish and the soldiers come for
you
don't struggle or
they'll kill you. I'll come for you as soon as I can. We should go now. Be
strong little sister."
Millardo vanished from sight before
Relena could say goodbye.
"Where else can I stay?" she thought.
It
was an easy question to answer. Before the Jews were banned from schools in
that tiny town in Northern Europe, Relena had received an invitation to go to
school at a boarding school in England. Only wealthy children could afford to
go there but that was no problem. Her family was wealthy and only lived in the
dump of a house they did to hide for their own safety. Father had removed all
his money from the bank shortly before the Nazis took over. He'd told Relena to
carry it because no one would suspect such a large amount of money to be hidden
on such a young girl. Relena patted the pocket where the money was concealed.
Then she left the house and set out on her journey. Fifteen minutes later she
reached the main town. She bought herself some nice new outfits, a first class
ticket on a ship headed for England, and left her home behind her. Silently she
gazed at the blue sea as the ship pulled away from the dock.
