"COLE, JACKIE!" Finn screamed, his voice sounding hoarse as he continued shouting their names.

Jackie and Cole could barely make out Finn's voice in the distance. Knowing he was near was comforting in a way. The twins looked at each other and nodded once they knew what they had to do. They ran further into the woods, completely unaware that Nazis were thirty feet away from them. 

Finn felt angry since they were not showing themselves, but he was frightened at the same time. The Nazis were coming and they needed to be safe. He spotted one soldier a mile or so away from his hideout in the pine tree.

"They're coming! The Nazis!"Finn shouted at Jackie and Cole. 

On accident, a Nazi overheard Finn shouting. Moments later, a gun was fired. Jackie and Cole ran out of the thick woods immediately when they heard another the noise of a gun. They had to run a little while to reach where Finn was.

To think what Finn could have done if he kept his damn mouth shut.

"Polnische Kinder! Holen Sie sich sofort!" A German shoulder shouted from behind the trees. 

Cole and Jackie shrieked as they saw soldiers aiming at them. Jackie tripped on a fallen branch and a soldier almost grabbed her until Cole shoved her by Finn. Finn grasped Jackie's arm and dragged her a few feet until the Nazis were distracted. 

"Jackie can you run?" Finn questioned, eyeing the bruises and blood dripping down her leg.

"COLE! NO!" Jackie screamed as she tried to run away but then she remembered Finn was holding her. She struggled to get out of Finns strong grip but she was too weak, so she gave up. Blood began to drip down her face from her forehead. 

"JACKIE YOU HAVE TO RUN!" Finn shouted angrily, grabbing her wrist.

She looked at Finn for a moment and then back at the spot where Cole and her were before. Feigning her acceptance, she grabbed his hand and the two sprinted off into the distance.

"Will he be okay?" Jackie muttered softly as she watched the blood fall slowly onto the soil beneath them.

"I don't know." Finn answered, glancing back at the beach, the nearby trees were burning and Cole was no where to be seen. 

He did know deep down that he would not be okay, but I on the other hand anticipated something else.

"Cole . .  . where's Cole?" Jackie fretted suddenly as she peered around the room. Her vision was still coming back and her mind was racing with millions of questions. She didn't know she fainted at all since she was barely conscious.

"He's. . .um . . ." Finn mused looking at Mr. Vandel not-knowingly. Mr. Vandel nodded as he thought of a reply to Jackie's question.

"We don't know." Mr. Vandel finished while he saw that Jackie's eyes were filled with worry.

"You don't," Jackie gulped, "you don't know where he is? How?" Jackie responded, her voice fueling with anger.

"No, Finn brought you here and did not look back. It was too risky." Mr. Vandel sighed as he rubbed his hands together.

"Where am I?" Jackie inquired looking around the room trying to recognize where she was. She did not recognize the beige colored walls or the white curtains and duvet she was under.

"You're in a hospital,go back to sleep okay? Everything's going to be fine." Finn convinced walking back by his Uncle. After a while she fell back asleep and Finn and Mr.Vandel left.

"We should've told her about the cottage. . .how it burned down." Finn put in. They were silent as they walked down the street, hearing no response  from Mr.Vandel.

"Well I don't want her to worry to much anymore. She's experienced enough in the past few weeks." Mr.Vandel explained as he frowned thinking about Jackie and Cole.

Finn looked gloomily at his uncle and shrugged realizing he was right about Jackie experiencing enough already. So many incidents for one week, two deaths, and now she was in the hospital and her twin brother was nowhere to be seen.

"I-I just want Jackie to be okay." Finn admitted as tear suddenly began to appear in Finn's eyes as he hugged his uncle tightly. Mr. Vandel smiled and patted his shoulder as they walked back the their petite cottage, hoping everything would be okay.
