(a/n: As promised this chapter is somewhat of a flashback. This chapter starts out on the Sunday that Annie tells Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Camille, and Jennifer what happened to her while she was is Austria in 1939. The middle is what happened from 1939 to 1945, when Edward and Emmett found her in Berlin. This chapter will be told from Annie's POV, Edward's POV, and end with Kendall's POV. As usual, the characters besides Annie and Wendy belong to their respective owners; even though I wish I could own Kendall Knight :P. See you at the bottom.)

Chapter 2: The Telling of What Happened in World War 2

*Annie*

Sunday, January 7, 2007, Forks Washington

"I called this meeting with everyone because I need to tell all of you what happened to me when World War 2 was going on," I told the other Rushers, "I invited twin and the other Cullen's because they know what happened, even if they were not there when it happened."

"Go ahead Annie, I will keep you calm," Jasper said.

"Annie, Kendall needs to hear this," Alice foretold, "If you keep this from him, you will not only be hurting yourself, but also him and your relationship with him."

"It all started on my birthday on May 31st in the year 1939 . . . "

May 31, 1939, Austria

"Annie, why is that ring so important to you?" Wendy asked, "We could be discovered. You know that Adolf is just looking for someone who could make sure he wins the war that's coming."

"I PROMISED Bella that I would keep that ring safe until I met her again in Forks, not Chicago, Wendy. You know that Bella is very special to me, along with Kendall. I just wish I could see his face once again, or have his arms wrapped around me. I MISS him, Wendy!" I started to rant. Suddenly, the wind shifted, Both Wendy and I sensed the change that it meant for my people. I summoned the gate to Avalon. "Go! Go to the Sacred Grove and WAIT there for Merlin. The future has vanished from my sight."

"But Annie, you are more important than me," Wendy retorted.

"I am your queen; you WILL do as I say!" As I said that, I pushed her through. When she was through the gate I whispered a specific word into Bella's sapphire ring. Adolf Hitler and a bunch of his cronies were right behind me within 10 minutes.

"If you would come with us, please," Hitler said, "I wish to make an arrangement with you."

"If it has to deal with hurting innocent men, women, and children; I will not help you whatsoever," I swore to him.

"Never the less, you WILL be mine and you WILL obey me," Adolf Hitler angrily swore. Little did Adolf Hitler know, I was right; kidnapping me would be to his detriment.

*Edward*

May 7th, 1945, Berlin, Germany

"Edward, we may never find her in this rubble," Emmett pointed out. I have to find Annie. After all, she is my twin sister and I promised her that I would take care of her until Kendall came back into her life.

"She has to be here somewhere," I retorted, "Last time I felt her was . . . What the hell?!" Right where I was cleaning the rubble away from was a bunker door. We were already in a bunker and now another door? "Emmett, you might want to get some of the officers over here."

"Already on it." And with that, Emmett left me to getting the rubble out of the way. When he got back, with several humans with him, I had already opened the door. The officers entered first, then the doctors, then Emmett and I.

Is that you twin? Annie! Thank goodness she's alive! They broke my legs several days ago, when Hitler committed suicide. I HATE THAT DEMON! I had to agree with her on that front, Hitler was a demon.

"There's another door here," one of the privates reported, "If there is anyone behind this door, please move."

"I have a feeling she will be in more pain if she tries to move, sir," I said, "My twin and I share a special bond where we can read each other's thoughts. Her legs were broken when Hitler committed suicide." There were several gasps at this revelation. "There is also more, sir. Apparently, Adolf Hitler tried to rape her as well. Might I suggest that Emmett and I open the door and bring her out here ourselves?"

"Go ahead, sir," one of the doctors said, "But her legs will need splints or something similar to keep them immobile." Every one of the men stepped aside for Emmett and me. Just as I suspected, the hinges were on our side of the door. So I removed them and asked for help on moving the door, even though Emmett or I could have moved it with no help needed.

As soon as the door was out of the way, I saw the depravity that my darling twin had to live in for the past 6 years. I was completely appalled. No one should be forced to live like this. Annie was crying in her thoughts, but could not cry in reality because she was severely dehydrated. The doctors immediately started to come in, but she balked at the sight of them. "If you do not mind, just give me the items I need and instruct me how to use them," I told them, "My sister has 'seen' doctors who did too many experiments on her. So she is very wary of who gets close to her, as you can imagine."

"Of course," replied the doctor that had allowed me to get to Annie. He instructed me even though I truly did not need it. After she was able to be moved, I picked twin up and made way to the hospital. No hospitals please twin, Annie was begging me, I was just in a room that looked exactly like a hospital room for 6 years. NO MORE!

"All right, Annie. Let's see if we can get you to a more comfortable place and get Carlisle over here to take care of you."

No! No more Europe! I cannot stand it here anymore! I want to go HOME, Edward! I want to feel the comfort of Esme's embrace and I want to laugh at Emmett's antics. I want Rose's somewhat pigheaded nature to poke fun at. I want talks with Carlisle. But none of that is going to happen any time soon. Where was my fun-loving, secret-hiding sister? It was like . . . Oh no. Is this what happened to Rosalie right after her transformation was finished? How she saw things in the world?

*3rd Person*

As the years passed, Annie did not utter a single word. Refusing to talk about what happened to her in Europe, she just became the opposite of who she truly was. When Alice and Jasper joined the Cullen's, only then did Annie start talking once again, and eventually, her normal self. But, in order for her to completely heal from the kidnapping and the situations following it, she had to tell everyone, including the man she wanted to not hear this part of her history.

*Kendall*

She went through all that in the span of 6 years?! I was dumbfounded. I knew she was hiding something from all of us, but I did not know it was this bad! If I had, I do not know what I would have done. "Kendall," Annie cried, "My life, my heart, my only love; please speak to me!"

"Annie," I was at a loss for words. I just wanted her to be safe, happy, and (of course) loved for her whole life. So I tried to put my feelings into words, "Annie, your past has had tragedy in it. But our future together will not. I swear to you on Merlin's staff, that I will do anything and everything I can to make you happy. As happy as you were when you first met me. I know that I have not time traveled yet, but as you said, I will." I was somewhat heartbroken. My love had to go through all of that with only memories of me to keep her company. I swore to myself that she would not remember that demon's hand on her, his voice next to her perfectly formed ear, or anything about him. As the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri says

"I have died every day waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a thousand years."

I would love her for eternity, never ceasing to love her. As long as she allowed my presence in her life, I would be there for her. I could not imagine another place for my heart, she was its home. I loved her and I will continue to do so forevermore.

(a/n: Sheesh, that took a lot out of me. I wanted it to be as close to actual history as possible, so I put Edward and Emmett in Berlin digging on VE Day. Annie had been summoning Bella's ring because it had fallen off in a lake when Hitler spotted her. As usual, reviews would be great. I am trying to make this story not as depressing as it certainly seems. And, as of right now, there are no more flashbacks in the foreseeable future of this story. I know that A Thousand Years was not released in 2007, but took the liberty of having it released then in the story. It really helped me make the mood for Kendall's little rant. :P So PLEASE review. See you all next time, when Edward sees Bella for the first time since he has become a vampire.)
