APOV
That first night when I couldn't sleep, I got up and went outside to take a walk. I walked by a building that looked like a house that had a light on. I stood there and saw Maria. I hid next to it so she couldn't see me. I then heard her say,
"So you're saying you don't like how I run things around here?" I wondered who she was talking to, so I peeked inside for a second to see. It was Jasper.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying", They were talking very loudly.
"If you don't like it, I can always make it worse for you", I listened in even closer then.
"What do you mean by that?" Jasper asked.
"I could send your sister to the gas chambers, if you would prefer that". My jaw dropped as soon as I heard that. Jasper was speechless. I could imagine the smile on Maria's face.
"That's what I thought", Maria finally said.
"I'll be back", Jasper said after a while. I heard footsteps and Maria said,
"Where are you going?" As the door opened and was slammed shut. I got up quickly and started to walk back to my barracks when I heard someone say something.
"What are you doing out here?" Jasper asked. He didn't sound angry towards me, more at Maria, but I was still too scared to say anything. It seemed like an eternity's long silence until I finally decided to say something.
"I-I couldn't sleep", I studdered.
"I don't blame you", He seemed a little more calm now.
"I'll just go back now", I said, starting to walk away when Jasper said,
"Wait, I need to show you something", I followed him to a small shed very close to where him and Maria were a few minutes ago.
"You can stay here, it's more comfortable and no one uses it", I couldn't help but wonder why he was being so nice to me, but all I said was,
"Thank you", He nodded and walked away towards the kitchen. I felt really bad for Jasper because of Maria and her forcing him to be here. I also felt bad for him because he had to work as a "Nazi", knowing his own twin sister was here as a prisoner. I could sleep easier that night in that small shed that Jasper had showed me. The next day, it was early morning when Jasper woke me up.
"You have to get up, Alice, before roll call", I heard Jasper say to me. He was kind of a blur because I had just woken up. I walked to the barracks and fell back asleep on the floor. Within a few minutes, I heard a loud whistle. I was the first to leave the barracks and get behind Emmett. We talked for a few minutes before Maria, Jasper, and the other officers came out.
"Were you able to sleep last night?" Emmett asked.
"Yes, were you?"
"Not at all. Maybe for a few seconds, but those floors are back-breaking", Our conversation was stopped short because Maria walked out. Again, she had her whip. I could tell, just from looking at him, that Jasper was still mad at Maria.
"Gut morgen (Good morning). I hope you all are ready for a hard days work, as you always should be", Maria said. I heard what Maria said, but I blocked out everything else because I was thinking about Jasper's kindness last night. I smiled at the thought.
"You, step forward", I snapped back into reality and realized that Maria was talking to me.
"You heard me, step forward", She repeated. I walked past Emmett and Maria came and stood in front of me.
"Next time, you listen to me", She said. And within the next second, she hit me in the back with her whip. I screamed in pain as I hit the ground. She was about to hit me again, when suddenly, Jasper came by her and yelled,
"Maria, stop!" She turned around and accidentaly hit Jasper in the face with the end of her whip. Emmett picked me up and I stood behind him again. I looked at Jasper's face and there was blood rushing from the side of his eye down to his chin. Maria didn't say anything as one of the other officers took Jasper to a building.
"All of you, stop standing around and get back to work! Now!" Maria ordered. I ran to the kitchen and met up with Rosalie inside.
"Are you okay? I saw what happened", Rosalie said.
"I'm fine, it just stings really bad", I said. Rosalie looked at my back and there was a long, deep cut down my spine.
"I'll be right back", She said, running out the door as fast as she could. When she came back, she had a man with her who had a big black bag with him.
"This is Amir, he will help you", Rosalie stated. It only took an hour, maybe, for Amir to disinfect my back and stitch it up.
"Thank you", I said as Amir left. He nodded and walked away. I still couldn't believe that Maria had hit Jasper's face with her whip. Once I was ready to get up and help Rosalie cook, I realized that all we were ever going to make was soup and bread. I didn't mind, but having to eat the same thing everyday couldn't be very good for anyone.

I hate that Maria hit Alice with her whip. And what's even worse, I can't go see her to make sure she's okay. Someone will take care of her though, I hope. I still haven't seen our parents in a while. Maybe I'll ask someone if they know what happened to them.
"Excuse me, but do you know what happened to Esme and Carlisle Cullen?" I asked one of the officers.
"They're dead", Was all he said, not even looking at me. I couldn't believe him, I didn't want to believe him, but I had no choice. It was only me and Alice now. How would I be able to tell her? Even if I saw her right now, I wouldn't have the strength to tell her. As I began to walk away, the officer I was talking to stopped me.
"You have a new job. You are to work in the kitchen", He said. Again, not looking at me. This excited me. Only because I would now be able to talk to Alice. I nodded and ran over towards the kitchen. Opening the door, I saw Alice stiring a pot, and across from her was an angel. She was beautiful with her long, wavy blonde hair. That was the girl Alice had been talking about. Rosalie, what a perfect name. I was about to say something when Alice noticed me.
"Emmett!" She exclaimed. I held Alice in a tight hug.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"They sent me here to work with you", I replied. She hugged me again until Rosalie walked over, smiling. Alice and I let go so I could meet Rosalie.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie", She said in a beautiful voice. She offered her hand to me.
"I'm Emmett", I said, taking her hand.
"Nice to meet you", Rosalie said, walking away towards the counter. I smiled at her, but then I remembered what I was told a few minutes ago.
"Alice, I need to tell you something", I finally said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Well, Alice, our parents. They're.... dead", I told her.
"What?" Was all she could say. She sounded so weak and broken, and I don't blame her. I felt the same way when I first heard it, too.
"I'm sorry", I said before pulling her into a hug. I could tell Rosalie was watching us hugging because we were for a while.

At the end of the day, I still couldn't believe that my parents were actually dead. Hearing that made me want to kill the Germans myself, but I knew that wouldn't be possible. After I ate that night, I didn't want to sleep. Then I remembered what happened to Jasper earlier today. The pain is his voice when he screamed and the pain in his eyes. I decided to go find him and see if he was alright. I saw him sitting on a wooden chair with a prisoner standing next to him in a small building. I walked over to the building and opened the door. As I stepped inside, Jasper and the man next to him looked over at me.
"Alice?" Jasper said.
"I just wanted to see if you were alright", I stated.
"I'm fine", He said. But he didn't look fine. I watched as the prisoner put stitches on the side of Jasper's face where he was hit. When he was finished, Jasper said,
"Thank you, Avi", I smiled because no other Nazi would say thank you. They would most likely say "Get out of here, scum" or something like that. But then again, Jasper wasn't like the other Nazi's. He wasn't a Nazi at all. Avi left and Jasper stood up.
"Do you like your shed?" He asked.
"Yes, it's a lot better than the barracks", I replied softly.
"You work in the kitchen, right?" Jasper wondered, walking over to a table.
"Yes", I said.
"Then you must have met my sister" I didn't expect him to say that.
"Yes, Rosalie", He was silent for a few minutes.
"How is she?" He finally asked.
"Fine. She seems to miss you a lot. Do you see her often?"
"Yesterday was the first time I've talked to her in two weeks", I felt a lot of pitty for Jasper. I can barely live without Emmett for more than twenty-four hours.
