CHAPTER 3

Blaine never thought this was the way his life would be at 17 when he was 7. He always thought that he would have this big house and a loving partner and he would go to college and graduate at the top of his class and be a great person. Oh how naïve had he been a decade ago... he hadn't even thought that one day things would get as bad as they are now. Hitler is a barbarian. He has been committing genocides to everyone that doesn't share his beliefs. Most likely he is killing every single Jewish in Germany. Almost 2 years ago when some of the people from his neighborhood were taken by the Nazis he wouldn't even think about what they were going to do with them. He knew, well... everyone knew that Hitler and his Nazi army hated the Jews but he never imagined that he would do something like the things they were about to do.

A couple of months ago the Nazis had forced themselves into his house and they took him, his mother, father and sister to a big field. They didn't know what was happening. Where were they? What were they doing here? Soon enough they found out. When they took them to "register" he saw how they got a group of maybe a thousand people, totally naked, to a big room. Suddenly the hand that he had been holding, Evelyn's hand, slipped away from his. He turned and saw her running towards a table were there were a bunch of other kids. He followed her and waited as she talked with the kids. Suddenly a loud noise echoed the room and the doors from the room they had just gotten the people to, opened. And then he saw them. There were dead bodies scattered all around the floor. The doors had just opened a tiny little bit but he had been able to see all those bodies. What were they going to do with them!? Were they killing them? He didn't know he just knew that he had to get out of there. His first thought was Evelyn. She was only 5 years old. She didn't have anything to do with their religion.

He didn't know how he was going to do it but he was going to find a way to get them out of this mess.
