Ok so thanks as always and im going away again so don't expect the next chapter until after Friday. I apologize in advance for grammar and spelling errors- I'm in such a rush to get this out before I go I didn't edit it as much as I usually do. Ok I don't own twilight and point out any historical errors.

I was doing nothing wrong- nothing what so ever when I was grabbed by several of the Nazis.

"We have an assignment for you" one said.

"Ok well do you mind if I walk?" I asked. One slapped me but they set me to my feet all the same.

"You and your brother have been selected to go and retrieve some of the clothes from the gas chambers" the one who had hit me said. I felt my eyes grow big and a block of ice drop in my stomach as I looked at the chimney pumping black smoke in the distance.

We were joined by several other soldiers and Emmett when we were about halfway there. He gave me a guilty, sympathetic look. That's when I realized that he had done something and as punishment I was being dragged into this too. I couldn't bring myself to be mad at him. All he probably did was say two words and the Nazis decided he was out of line.

When we approached a staircase going down into the ground the soldiers stayed behind and told us to go down into the room and start bringing up the clothes. When we were out of earshot Emmett whispered to me "I'm so sorry Alice".

I took his hand and squeezed it. "It's not your fault, I'm sure you didn't do anything they just wanted to pretend you did." He smiled and squeezed my hand back and then we both started the work set before us. I carefully picked up each article of clothing, clothing of people now dead.

I took careful note of each piece. A mother's dress, you could tell because the front was stained with so many different things that she had to be caring for children. A tiny set of overalls belonging to a little boy the front pocket frayed and patched in several places. A minuscule dress possibly that of a child under a year old. I looked away, and saw Emmett watching me.

"It's just that I can feel these people still you know?" I asked quietly and he nodded. We took the first armful's worth back through the door and up the stairs. They were waiting there with a wagon we duped it on and went back down for more.

As I closed the door to the oven I shuddered and almost collapsed. One of the people was still moving not much but a little it was a terrible thing I wanted to burst out into tears but I didn't. I continued with the next hull after that oven group was done and the ashes had been disposed of. I shuddered again load after load I shoved inside feeling like vomiting the entire time.

Finally after what felt like an eternity. We were done. One of the men that I worked with saw my face.

"Jasper go get some air you look like hell" I nodded feeling like hell too. The overseer upon seeing me just nodded in disgust and looked away. I ran to the first door I saw. Hoping it was the way outside.

It wasn't though instead it was the door to a flight of stairs at the bottom of which was the room where the inmates undressed before they were put in the gas chambers. I stopped dead. It was just too much. The room felt full to the brim with spirits I fell to the ground shaking raspy breaths escaping every now and then. Next to me was a baby's pair of shoes I picked them up and held them to my chest. The baby who had worn the shoes in my hands was dead. And what was worse I had contributed to it. This baby was dead before they had the chance to live and I felt responsible for it.

After the third or fourth trip back up we returned and I heard what sounded like sobs. Emmett was preoccupied gathering a particularly large pile of shoes and I vaguely told him I was going to start on the other side of the room. I walked towards the noise. It grew louder as I grew closer. Then I saw them. In a corner a man- no a teenager boy was hunched holding something to his chest and shaking. I approached him quickly and kneeled down beside him, I noticed his clothes and parts of his face were coated in black- smoke?

"What's wrong?" I whispered. He looked surprised to see me but then just shook his head and looked away. "It's ok you can talk to me, really." But he didn't answer.

"Ok how about I talk to you? Then maybe you'll feel comfortable enough to talk to me. But I have to pick up some of this stuff while I do it or I'll get in trouble." I told him and began picking up the clothes surrounding him. "Well my name is Alice I lived in Holland, I'm a Jew too just so you know. So we were living in Holland and everything was ok for awhile - we being my parents my brother and I were all happy. And I had the best friend in the whole world Bella. We all went to school together and everything. But then the Nazis invaded and so we weren't aloud to do practically anything because the Nazis don't like Jews they also don't like Poles, Gypsies, Homosexuals, people with disabilities or pretty much anyone who's not Aryan- which is measured in a bunch of different ways I don't have time to explain. So anyway we couldn't go to school, or ride bikes or the trolley or anything really. But we still had each other. Then our father got "relocated" and then Bella and then us. But our mother didn't go you see she killed herself the night before so me and my brother went out alone to the train. And then my friends Bella it turns out managed to get a good job- well good by these standards. She worked in a place called Canada because that's where the inmate belongings arte taken to be sorted. So she heard we were here and got this Nazi Edward to get us and bring us back to Canada. And so that's where I am now well no then the Nazi's got mad at Emmett- he's my brother by the way and so we both got sent to get the clothes of everyone who was just gassed. So are you ready to talk?" I looked at him he was looking back now and my arms were full with clothing. "I'll be right back and then you can tell me about you" I tell him and then hurry up to deposit the clothes in the wagon and then came back.

"My name is Jasper" he started. "I lived in America and then Pearl Harbor happened- do you know what that is?" he asked me and I shook my head. "Well the Japanese- they're Allies with Germany and Italy bomber one of our Naval Bases in Hawaii and then our president decided we were going to war and I sighed up and was fighting I think out side Poland and we lost a battle I think and most of my troupe was down and they found me and brought me here as a Prisoner of War and I work in the crematorium upstairs burning the dead bodies." I looked at him with my eyes and my mouth open wide.

"I'm so sorry Jasper" I said reaching out and taking his hand.

"Me too" he whispered." I.. I just feel like I'm committing murder is all, it's the worst feeling in the whole world because I know that each of those people had a family and friends and a life and a future and I robbed them of it all."

"Can you feel them too?" I asked quietly still holding his hand. He nodded reverently.

"Their ghosts or something is here still even though they're gone." he murmured.

"Their spirit" I said nodding in agreement.

"Alice?" I heard Emmett hiss. I looked up and he was standing there motioning me. "They'll notice if you don't come up soon" he whispered.

"Ok" I said with a nod and then to Jasper "I'll be back in a second." he nodded as I took another load up. On the way Emmett gave me a questioning look.

"He's an American prisoner of war and they make his work in the crematorium he got overwhelmed and I was trying to make him feel better." in said quickly. Emmett just nods.

I go back to Jasper and he follows me around helping me pick things up talking to me quietly. It's amazing how similar we seem to be. Like we're on the same wave-length.

We finish in about and hour and a half. Both Emmett and I have the last load in our arms.

"Am I going to see you again?" Jasper asked quietly. I bit my lip, normally I would say yes in a heart beat, there was something about this boy that made me feel like I was doing something right. He made me feel like maybe there was hope and that we could get out of this alive, he felt like my future. But this wasn't school where we could just meet up in the front hall again. This was complicated; this was war.

"Yes" I said finally "The next time they need people down here to load the clothes I'll volunteer." I said surely.

"You would do that?" he asked with a slow and ghostly smile spreading across his face.

"Absolutely" I say.

"Edward where is Alice" I asked panic spilling from my eyes, as I yanked him into an empty barrack. He stood there looking at me uncomfortably for a moment.

"Yes, but don't worry Bella she'll be fine I promise you."

"Where is she?"

"I saw a few of the other soldiers taking her on an assignment."

"Assignment?" I asked eyes flashing.

"They took her and Emmett to the gas cham-"

"What!?" I screeched, my hear plummeting, I was alone absolutely alone.

"Bella let me finish, they were taken there to collect the clothes left there, by those who were killed. But Alice and Emmett will be back."

"You sure?"

"Positive Bella, I wouldn't let them do that." he looked at me with a blazing look in his eyes and I knew he was telling the absolute truth.

"Ok thank you" I said. I looked back up at him, he was smiling warmly down at me. Something in me seemed to have exploded in that second and everything seemed to change between us- well for me at least. I saw him differently than before. No longer just the Nazi whom I couldn't trust. But instead someone who would do anything for me. But then it stopped just as soon as it started and I walked abruptly from the barrack.

I cursed myself. I didn't matter if he was different, it didn't matter even if he felt the same way. I was a Jew he was a Nazi it would never work it was impossible.

Ok real short I know and im sorry. Tell me what you think and review thanks! Luv u all!- wild-lili
