Thanks for all the great feedback enjoy and I don't own Twilight and let me know about any historical errors.
One was pointed out by airali cullen about how the prisoners wouldn't get anything close to coffee. Thank you for pointing that out, although I do remember reading in an Anne Frank book about them getting a meal similar to the one described I don't remember if it was at Auschwitz or Bergen- Belson but regardless thank you for addressing it!

I ran hard sprinting my body protesting every step- when your body is fueled off of energy which is gained by food and you don't get too much of food and therefore energy even walking can become difficult, I learned. Running was nearly impossible but I had to do it, had to find a way to save them.
I saw him then standing alone looking out of the fence by the suitcase mountain, there was no one else around- they must all be at their own station. "Edward" I called my voice coming out as a rasp from the labor of running. And yes you did here me right I DID call him Edward and not "The Nazi".
"Yoshabel?" he asked turning towards me. "What what is it what's wrong?" he asked me catching me as I all but ran in to him he kept his hands on my shoulders to stabilize me, any other day I would have been raised hell for that but today there were other things far too important.
"Edward, Edward you- you have-have to help me" I panted feeling the tears run down my cheeks so fast it was as if they were racing each other .
"Of course anything what is it?" he asked urgently and I knew he meant it. The way his eyes were burning into mine I knew he would do anything for me.
"My, my friends Emmett and Alice they just got here on one-one of those trains, and Rose is gonna send someone to go and get a few more workers. Edward please! They're my best friends I can't let them die like Esther knowing there was something I could have done, please Edward I'm begging you, you have to tell Rosalie that you'll go and find them, please you're the only one who can help me. Please!" I said sobbing now and falling to my knees before him. I looked up at him terrified that he would say no- he did have every right to. How many times had he tried to be kind and I had only responded with cruelty and indifference? He could say no and have no reason to feel guilty.
But his face was not folded in the expression of hate and disbelief I had expected. No it was still full of understanding, kindness, and sympathy.
"Of course I'll help" he told me and then took me under each arm and pulled me to my feet "and there's no need to kneel before me either" he said. "Now what do you're friends look like and what are their names again?" he asked kindly.
"Alice and Emmett Cullen" I said a little shakily. "Alice is tiny and kinda looks like a pixie, she's really pretty and has short black hair, Emmett is really tall, and muscular, he has dark curly hair too, and he's really handsome too, they kinda look a like I guess- they're twins so they probably won't leave each other's side. They-" but I stopped Edward's face had been a mask of calm and collected until I mentioned them being twins now his face looked as if someone had stabbed him in the stomach with a knife. "What?" I asked anxiously.
"They're twins?" he asked his face draining of color slowly.
"Yeah" I said looking at him in terror.
"O good God" he said putting a hand to his head looking as if he were about to pass out. "We have to go, we have to go now." he said grabbing my hand and running dragging me with him. We ran all the way back to the barracks, we looked inside but Rosalie wasn't there. He drug me to the Nazi housing and sure enough Rose was standing at the door, consulting some paper.
" Rose, Rose I'll go!" Edward said out of breath. "I'll go get another worker, and we could use a man for something right? Right!" Edward asked and Rose looked at him in alarm. "Rose they're Bella's friends please they're here". Awareness flooded her eyes and she nodded.
"Yes Edward of course and yes we could use a man for the heavier things and to maybe do some overseeing." she said in an official tone - probably in case anyone was nearby.
"I'll go now then" Edward said and then the two of us walked back towards where the gate was. "Yoshabel I'm sorry to have scarred you like that but you have something explained to you before I go. There are things much more cruel and grotesque, than the labor, and the murder or even the gassing. There is a clinic here at the Auschwitz where horrors are performed -things you can not even imagine. Medical experiments, one's for Germany to "further their knowledge" but really it's just because they're sick and finally have play things that they won't get in trouble for killing, these medical experiments are heavily directed at twins, it's important that I get there as quickly as possible. Before it's leaned that Emmett and Alice are twins." he said.
"Thank you Edward" I whispered.
"I'll be back as soon as I can, stay strong Yoshabel" he said giving my shoulder a quick squeeze- something that yesterday would have made me furious- then walked through the gate and then walking as fast as he could without running and drawing attention to himself. I walked shakily back to where Sephora was. I had no idea how I would get through the next hour before his return.
Sephora kind as always asked if I was ok, I nodded and told her not to worry about me. I looked to where Edward had disappeared from and prayed a silent prayer "Please let him make it in time".

It was around noon I guessed when we finally arrived. "Abreit Mach Frei" marked a gate- Work will make you free. What a bright and cheery message I thought sarcastically. They shoved us out shouting in angry German. I grabbed Emmett's hand so we wouldn't be wretched apart by the crush of bodies. We all seemed to be being shoved in different directions. Then there was a terrible cry of "Men to the left woman to the right". I looked at Emmett fear in my eyes like a deer in headlights. Two men in uniforms came and tried to wrench us apart yelling "separate men to the left woman to the right" but I clung to Emmett so one picked me up and then other began pushing Emmett away.
"NO Emmett no put me down!" I screamed flailing wildly in the man's vice-like grip.
"Alice!!" he yelled trying to reach me "Put her down don't touch her!"
What would we do now?

I ran -ran harder than I ever had in my life. Then I saw them- the train unloading it must have just got in. Maybe I wasn't too late. I then realized another problem- how was I to find them in this mass of confusion. There were people everywhere and loud cries and commands and mothers crying and woman holding fast to their husbands but being yanked apart. Then I heard a very useful noise.
"NO Emmett no put me down!"
"Alice!! out her down! Don't touch her!" I looked to the middle and saw a particularly bad fight. One Nazi held a tiny black haired girl while the other pushed a huge dark haired boy away from the other two. They had to be Alice and Emmett. I shoved my way to the middle for once taking advantage of my Nazi status.
"Coming through! Nazi coming through" I hollered and at once people scurried out of my way. I approached the fight and helped the one solider keep Emmett from killing him. "Gentlemen if you don't mind I'd like to take these two with me, we have need of them." The two soldiers looked at each other and shrugged.
"Fine take them makes our life a hell of a lot easier" one said.
"Yeah good luck" said the other setting Alice down.
"Come along now" I said to the two followed me looking untrusting. When we got away from the mass of people I said in an undertone. "You are Alice and Emmett Cullen correct?". They both nodded on either side of me looking confused. "And you know Yoshabel Swan right?" and again both nodded looking far more interested now. "Fantastic".
"Do you know her?" Alice asked. I nodded.
"She heard you were coming and asked me to come and "recruit you". The place where we work- well she works I guard -is called Canada where all the prisoners belongings go and are sorted, it's by far the nicest part at Auschwitz that I've seen" I said looking to them waiting for a reaction.
"Bella's there?" Alice asked looking close to tears.
"Yes" I whispered.
"Oh Emmett she's alive she's safe" she said hugging her twin looking so relieved it was uplifting and saddening at the same time. Twin- that reminded me.
"Ok there's something else you need to know" I said feeling sorry to break up there moment. "It's crucial that no one knows you're twins" I said seriously. "Bad things happen to twins here" I said shortly when they looked like they were about to ask why. So instead the just nodded looking anxious. "Don't worry we're almost there" I said smiling at them- that seemed to scare them a bit

I could hardly focus on our work, I kept looking up waiting for Edward- hopefully with Emmett and Alice -to appear. Then once when I looked up I saw him- no them! I checked to see if anyone was watching and then I sprinted towards them. I saw the recognition flash in Alice's eyes and she started running too.
We reached each other and I yanked her into a hug and we spun in a happy circle. A piece of heaven in the middle of hell.
"I was so worried"
" I thought I'd never see you again"
"Are you ok?"
"Where's your sister?"
"Are you hurt?"
"Have they treated you alright?"
"I was afraid they would kill you"
"Oh I'm so glad we found you" and many other relieved expressions. Emmett reached us and pulled us both into a hug. I pulled away and looked for Edward- our savior. He was standing awkwardly and was starting to walk away into the barracks.
"Edward" I said catching his shoulder at the threshold. "Thank you, thank you for everything I don't know what I would have done with out you, and another thing- I'm sorry about my attitude towards you I haven't been the nicest- no I've been awful and you've been so sweet and so kind and I'm- I'm just really sorry."
"Don't worry about it and you're welcome Yoshabel"
"Bella" I said and he smiled a brilliant crooked smile and I checked to make sure no one was around and then I pulled him into a quick hug. "Thanks" I whispered again.

When I awoke I was in some sort of vehicle- I think. It was dark-pitch-black in fact but I could hear the whine of a motor and the wind whipping by outside. How did I manage to get captured? I asked myself furiously.
I tried to get my bearings- any clue at all of where I was but it was just too dark. I fell back to sleep my body exhausted. When I awoke next it was by force, several of the soldiers kicked me awake. I had learned German in school so I understood when one said
"Welcome to Auschwitz kid" and then to one of his fellow soldiers "Or hell".
From what I saw that was pretty appropriate wording.

That night Alice slept in my bunk ,Emmett was at the end bunk closest to the door- it was so unusual for men to be here they had no separate housing. We lay awake watching the stars once again but this time we pointed out constellations and planets. For the first time in what felt like forever I fell asleep with a smile on my face after having giggled with my best friends like this was a slumber party. Like I said heaven in the middle of hell.
