Chapter Two
June 17 1:06 AM
I hated it here, although I guess that wasn't saying much. I mean look at this place. It wasn't exactly the amusement park. I narrowed my eyes studying the carvings in the ceiling above me. Hitler was a mad man, couldn't anyone see that?
I guess not because these people were following him like a dog. No, I can't be mad at them. To those soldiers it seemed like they were doing the right thing. I felt a pang of guilt go through me for hating all of them so much. Sure most of them were probably bad but surely not all of them. God wouldn't let such monsters rule the Earth.
The door creaked open uneasily and I glanced up. My eyes flickered trying to figure out who was through the darkness. I recognized the small shape easily enough.
"Alice?"
The silhouette looked up and crept closer sitting on the edge of the bed. "I didn't wake you up did I?" She asked sheepishly and even through the dark I could see her cheeks turn red.
I shrugged forcing myself to sit up. "I've been up for awhile." I bit my lip, "I don't sleep very well. It always feels like someone's watching me."
Alice nodded, "I thought I saw someone outside your window." My eyes flashed to the window nervously and she giggled. It sounded strained though as if to comfort me. "I'm sure it was just Emmett."
I shrunk back into my covers quietly agreeing although I knew it wasn't true. Emmett wouldn't do that, there's was no point to stand outside your little sister's bedroom. Alice shifted and I felt her body lying next to mine.
"I used to have a little sister you know," she whispered quietly. "We were separated when they took us. I haven't seen her in years." She paused taking in a heavy breath. It sounded like she was crying. I wrapped my arms around her to comfort. "You're lucky you still have your brother."
I bit my lip trying not to join her in weeping. I was lucky Emmett and I were still together. I don't think I'd have made this long of we weren't. I wanted to say I'm sorry but I knew from experience how little that meant. Sorry's didn't mean much when you lost someone you loved.
There was shuffling outside the window. It was loud and I was sure Alice heard it but neither of us got up. Whoever was out there didn't bother to be quiet and if they weren't a soldier they'd be dead in the morning.
"I hate this," Alice sobbed softly.
I had never heard Alice cry like this. Come to think of it, I hadn't heard very many people here cry. I thought it that's all these people would do, but most of them kept their heads strong. They were trying to comfort others and show them they were still together. It was stupid when you knew they weren't. No one was okay anymore.
A/N: It was a short chapter but I have a huge headache and I'm having a little fight. I heard stress gives you acne and all this yelling has really made it all go away. Anyway, I didn't mean to offend ANYONE with this story, I just thought it would be a good plot line.
