A Night In Braunschweig. [closed]

Mariska sighed as she pulled on her jacket and made her way out of the house. She held the purse in her hand as she glanced around the area. She hated that there was people everywhere that shouldn't be in the area. She knew that there was a few american soldiers that were in the town. However she wasn't sure who was hiding them. She personally would never hide an american. That would only leave to not only her death, but her family's also. Mariska walked into the small bakery to pick up some bread that her mother needed for dinner. She looked into the small glass case trying to decide which one was better.

---

Kass hid behind one of the barriers as he heard the shots ringing out around him. He stared down at his gun as he reloaded, his hands shaking. He turned and shot some more then felt a bullet pierce his side. He groaned as he fell onto the ground, clutching his side. Kass frowned as a few american approached him. He hoped they wouldn't kill him, but it would be worse if they didn't. He frowned as they yanked him up. Kass bit his bottom lip lightly, feeling the pain in his side as they dragged him to one of the trucks after tying his hands together. He was threw into the back, then felt them blindfold him. He frowned when he felt the vehicle moving.

Timothy strode down the street as if he belonged there, hoping the clothes he'd borrowed from the people hiding him and a few of his fellow soldiers would help him blend in. He had a few hours to himself before he had to go back on patrol with the other men he was staying with. He wandered into the bakery when he smelled the fresh baked goods and walked around, looking in the glass cases at the different food items. He ended up standing right next to Mariska, but didn't pay her much mind. He was too busy trying to pay attention to his other surroundings.

Alice worked diligently at the makeshift hospital for the American soldiers fighting. She was a military nurse and volunteered to go to Germany instead of being sent to go. She looked up when she heard the sound of more vehicles approaching the building and brushed a lock of her soft brown hair out of her eyes after she finished removing a few bullets and bandaging up one of the soldiers. She held the door open when they brought in the new round of injured men.

Mariska looked at the man behind the counter and asked for a loaf of the bread. She watched as he prepared it then went to move and smacked into the man near her. "Sorry." She apolized before stepped around him. She moved to the counter and pulled out her wallet to pay him.

--

Kass groaned as they ripped the blindfold from him, seeing the nurses an injured men. He groaned as they pushed him onto the cot. He heard them talking in English not really understand what they were saying.

"It's quite alright. It was my fault. Here, allow me to pay for your bread." Timothy removed his wallet from his pocket and paid the man behind the counter. He gave Mariska a charming smile before turning back towards the door of the bakery and making his way back out onto the street.

--

A few of the soldiers were telling Alice what had happened with Kass and she was instructed to take care of them before they started to try to get information out of him. She sighed softly and nodded once at them before heading over to the injured German soldier and getting to work on removing the bullet from his wound. She said nothing to him and her face held a determined, serious look.

Mariska watched as the man left then walked out of the door. She frowned when she saw a group of nazi soldiers beating a jewish man on the street. She sighed as she walked past them, not saying a word. She knew better than to say anything. She held her bread as she tried to make her way through the crowd.

---

Kass looked at her, frowning as she went to dig into the cut, "Nein, Nein." He breathed as he went to grab her hand. He knew it would hurt and he needed something to numb the pain. Though he didn't know if she would give it to him since he was their prisoner. He looked at her with a pleading look.

@ acrossleuniverse

Timothy walked past the poor Jewish man being beaten and a look of disgust came over his face. He knew better than to openly do anything about it, but he quickly looked over the group of them and tried to memorize their faces. He would get them later. He then caught sight of the girl who he'd bought bread for heading in the same direction he was and caught up next to her, matching her stride. "I didn't catch your name.." He gave her yet another charming smile.

--

A gentle frown curved Alice's full lips and she glanced around to make sure no one saw before she speedily gave him a numbing agent so he would not feel the pain. She then pressed her finger to her lips as a gesture for him to keep this to himself before she set to work on removing the bullet from the wound in his arm. She said softly so only he could hear her, "Sprechen sie englisch?"

@ xxKitanaxx

Mariska looked over when she heard someone talking ot her. She smiled a little when she saw it was the guy from earlier, "Mariska." She replied to him. She heard someone scream and looked back. She saw that someone had tried to stop them. She bit her bottom lip lightly when she saw the men quickly turn and beat the guy. She flinched slightly when they shot the man dead in the street. MAriska stared in shock at how quickly it escalated.

---

Kass closed his eyes as she numbed the pain then looked at her. He shook his head when she asked if he spoke english, "Nein." He muttered. He looked over at the soldiers at the door then looked at her. Kass frowned as he watched the girl, "Was werden sie mit mir zu tun?" He whispered.

@ acrossleuniverse

Timothy's fists clenched and he told her quietly, "I hope to see you again Mariska, but now I must go. Have a lovely day." He had to get back so he could let the men know what he saw and they could plan to do something about the soldiers. He did, however, actually want to see the girl from the bakery again. He sure hoped that he would.

--

Alice removed the bullet and dropped it in a bowl, it making a small ting when it hit the bottom. As she began sterilizing the wound, she whispered back to him, barely moving her lips, "Sagen sie einfach, was sie wissen wollen, und Sie leben. Es ist der einzige Weg, wenn Sie überleben wollen." The girl's pale green eyes looked to his face then, her lips now pressed into a thin line.

@ xxKitanaxx

Mariska looked at him and nodded, "Okay." She said softly. She quickly made her way to her house then handed the bread to her mother. SHe watched as her dad locked up the house and pulled the curtains shut. Nighttime was never safe in the city they were in anymore. It was a sad thing but very true.

---

Kass looked up at her, knowing that she was right. HE couldn't do that though and he knew that. He looked around then back at her with his icy blue eyes. He had everything in his looks that made him look like the perfect person for the aryan race that Hitler was creating. Kass shook his head, "Ich kann nicht verraten die Führer." He whispered to her.

@ acrossleuniverse

That night Timothy and his fellow soldiers dressed in their uniforms and got their weapons before setting out to ambush one of the nearby camps. He hoped at least some of the soldiers from earlier were there so he could avenge the Jewish man who was beaten and the man who died doing the right thing. He couldn't believe how anyone could commit such a vile act.

--

"Dann sagen Sie nichts. Verraten Sie sich." Alice bandaged up his arm and secured the bandaging before rising to her feet and stepping away from Kass. She had a grim look on her face, shaking her head a bit and whispering, "What a shame." She moved from can and on to a different patient, still shaking her head slightly.

Mariska got ready for bed and laid down. She sighed when she heard people yelling outside her bedroom window. She bit her bottom lip lightly when she heard gun shots then got up and walked to the window. She moved her curtain, frowning when she saw the American soldiers standing over one of the nazi men. She watched as her fingers gripped the curtain.

---

Kass watched as she left then fought again the man that grabbed him. He was ripped up from the table then dragged through the hospital. He tried to grab anything to stop them. Kass had been involved with the nazi party since the beginning. He couldn't betray them and he knew way too much

@ acrossleuniverse

There Timothy stood in the street with the group of soldiers, in his uniform. The nazi on the ground was the main man who had beaten the Jewish man near the bakery and it was Timothy to struck the man hard with the butt of his gun. His own face was bloody and bruised on one side from a confrontation he'd had. The curtains of Mariska's bedroom caught his eye and he looked up, making eye contact with her.

--

Alice's gaze turned to look at Kass fighting the men dragging him away and bit her lip.She didn't dare say anything in the soldier's defense or she'd most definitely be either beaten herself or something worse. She just slowly looked back down at the wound she was patching up. He was going to get tortured and she'd have to patch him up afterwards anyway, so she knew she'd see him again.

@ xxKitanaxx

Mariska gasped when one of the soldiers saw her then stepped back and let the curtain move over the window. She quickly went over to her bed and pulled the covers over herself. She laid her head on her pillow hoping they wouldn't come ot her house because she had seen them. Mariska bit her bottom lip lightly as she gripped her blankets tightly.

---

Kass fought against the men even as they tortured him. "fahr zur Hölle" He replied when he was asked to him them more information. He frowned as they left him there bleeding and bruised. HE spit the blood from his mouth and stared at the ground. He wished they would just kill him.

@ acrossleuniverse

None of the soldiers even saw Mariska, so none of them came into her house. Timothy and the other soldiers went after many more nazis that night, beating some badly and killing others. They retreated just before sunrise and headed back to place they were staying at. After getting quickly patched up, Timothy stripped off his uniform and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

--

Several hours later, Alice was sent into the room to clean up Kass's wounds. She now had a bruise forming across her cheek bone, and she didn't even look directly at the soldier until she had to start cleaning the cuts the American soldiers had left on him when they attempted to get information out of him. This time, she said nothing.

@ xxKitanaxx

Mariska sat on her porch the next morning and watched as the Nazis began to raid the houses in the city. She knew they were looking for the men who had killed the other soldiers. Mariska frowned as the soldiers walked by her and her dad let them into the house. She couldn't believe all of this was happening.

---

Kass looked at the girl, seeing the bruise on her skin. "Was ist passiert?" He asked as he looked at her face. HE wasn't sure how she had been hurt but he was sure it had to do with these soldiers. Kass looked around the room then looked back at her. Maybe it was because she had spoken to him.

@ acrossleuniverse

Timothy kept his face mostly covered by a scarf as he walked down the street, walking with the same confidence he had the day before so he didn't look suspicious. He headed past her house and glanced around occasionally, his eyes yet again meeting hers. His pace slowed and he waved slightly to her.

--

"Ich sprach zu dir. Ich wurde bestraft. Ich werde wahrscheinlich wieder bestraft," Alice whispered to him while using rubbing alcohol to cleanse the blood from the wounds before applying bandages. "Es ist nicht viel anders als an anderen Tagen. Die Soldaten immer belästigen mich." She shrugged her petite shoulders and kept her eyes on his wounds.

Mariska saw the man from yesterday and last night and frowned. She got up and walked over to him, grabbing his arm. She pulled him into an alley and pulled the scarf from his face. "Who are you and why are you working with the americans?" She asked him quietly her eyes narrowing at him.

---

Kass frowned at her words then stopped her hand, "Sie besser zu verlassen bald." He said as he looked up at her. HE didn't want her to get hurt over trying to help him. He shook his head when she went to help her again. "gehen" He said as he pushed away from her.

@ acrossleuniverse

Timothy frowned at Mariska and said to her, "You saw what those men were doing to the poor Jew in the street. I'm trying to get rid of those scum. Why, are you okay with innocent people being killed in the street for doing the right thing?" He stood tall in front of her, his eyebrow raised. "I'm doing it to help. Not to hurt innocent bystanders. I'm not the bad guy, Mariska." He'd made sure he did not forget her name since she had told him what it was the day before.

--

"Wenn ich Ihnen nicht helfen, werde ich bestraft. Ich muss deine Wunden zu reinigen. Es ist meine Aufgabe." For a brief moment, Alice's bottom lip trembled, but she quickly composed herself and finished taking care of his injuries. "Mein Name ist Alice..Wie heißt du?"

Mariska frowned, "You aren't helping you are making it worse. Because of last night they are raiding everyone's homes. They are destroying things that aren't even theirs." She explained. "I'm not okay with people getting hurt but i'm also not objecting to people staying out of it." She said. She crossed her arms, hating how her country was turning out.

---

Kass looked at her and sighed, "Mein Name ist Kass." He replied. He hated that she was going to be hurt for helping him. It just wasnt fair that she had to deal with it like that. He looked up when he heard people coming then looked awya like he hadn't spoken to her.
