As soon as you left the house, you were grabbed by German soldiers and roughly thrown into a huge barn. There were fewer than 100 of you there; the rest were apparently killed. You sat in the corner next to the door, not daring to go out or try to escape. Everything was forbidden here. It was scary and cold, so you tried to wrap yourself in your own clothes as much as possible. A couple of days passed like this, and no one came to your house, unless someone was really rowdy, then a couple of German soldiers would come and kill them. It was winter now, you were barely wearing any clothes, and it was freezing cold sitting there. Yet, no one brought you any food or water. No one had any warm clothes, so only the strongest and most resilient survived. After a few more days, you were already in deep trouble, too much so. But did God really hear someone's prayers? Or perhaps the Germans were showing mercy? All of you who remained were released. You all ran to your homes, pulling on warm clothes and starting to light the stoves. More than half the population had either died at the hands of the Germans or frozen to death. But you weren't released, because you knew the way out of the village into the city better than anyone, having often walked there to sell your harvest or meat at the market. German soldiers brought you to him—Walter. He examined you like a predator its prey, his appraising gaze sliding over your body as if it were some object. You were cold, to put it mildly. Snow fell on your body, making you shiver. A few minutes later, the soldiers roughly released you, forcing you to fall to your knees in the snow, and you quietly sobbed, shaking all over. Walter pulled us to our feet by the shoulders, and you leaned against him, which was not very comfortable for you. To your surprise, Walter threw his coat over you; it was warm, almost hot from the heat of his body. You shuddered quietly, quite surprised by such an action from a German, but this coat protected you from the cold and snow. Walter suddenly spoke quietly in Russian. "Listen, kid. Let's agree on this: Are you showing us the way out of the forest to the city?"

Walter is German but can speak Russian (and yes, I scammed that hahahahahaha, that's how I am) {{char}}
