Rolf
Our car stopped outside the building where our offices were. Me and five other German soldiers stepped out from the car.
I started giving them some orders about some road blocks we should do and call our tipsters in order to learn what they had to tell us.
It had been three months that the Greek military had been surrendered to us and we arrived to Greece. Although we weren't here a lot of time, many resistance groups had already been organised in order to win us. But what they didn't know, it was that they had already lost and they didn't want to admit it.
In a few time, the whole world would belong to us, the Germans. Everything would be ours, everything and everyone would be as we wanted. Nothing would be different from what we wanted. So whoever would come to our path in order to avoid us, he would be killed, slowly and painfully.
"So you three will go upstairs to finish some job that is necessary to be finished. My brother will explain to you." I said in german and three of them did what they were said.
My brother was Frederick Fischer. He was younger than me, actually eight whole years were apart us. Although we were different characters, I loved him a lot. He was more kind while I was crueler, that's what I was telling him to be since our father's death. He was one of the main generals of the war, but some members of a resistance group in Poland had managed to murder him. Since then I took his place and I have to say that I was doing perfectly. That's why I took my little brother with me in order to learn how to be a good general like me one day. That was my dream since our father's death, to see him as good and successful as I was.
"And you three, you will join me to the road block in a few minutes." I said in german again
They just nodded. We were waiting for our translator to come. Unfortunately we had only one and we needed at least one more.
I took a cigarette out of my pocket and started smoking while we were waiting for him. During our waiting I was looking at the opposite pavement and saw someone that I had never seen the whole time that I was here.
It was a girl. A very beautiful girl was walking on the pavement loudly and demure at the same time.
It was the first time I was seeing such a beautiful girl since I came to Greece. She had long wavy dark brown hair, green eyes and rosy fleshy lips. She seemed very young, around my brother's age. I had to admit that she had a very appealing body for such a young girl. Although she was thin enough, her skirt and blouse were showing her curves perfectly even though they weren't too tight.
She reminded me a lot of caryatids when I had visited Greece's sights for first time. She was just like them, maybe better. That was when I agreed with whoever was admiring Greece's beauty, if that girl was first of all a Greek.
I wanted to meet her, talk to her, to learn everything about her. I wanted to hear her voice telling her name to me, telling my name after learning it. I wanted to hear my name from those rosy fleshy lips.
I had to stop her and talk to her, I was demanding it from myself.
I saw her looking at me for a second, almost shyly. Her emerald green eyes were sparkling through the summer sun. She looked back at her way, taking her eyes from me.
Go get her Rolf!! Now!! A voice demanded inside my head
I was about to walk to her, when I saw her missing one's step, leaning on the wall next to her and touching her leg. She gasped in surprise and then winced.
Without wasting time, I ran to her.
"Miss are you alright??" I asked her
"I think.." she answered with a soft voice "But my heel is broken.."
I looked at her feet and realised that she was right. Her right heel was broken, that's why she was about to fall down.
"Oh my goodness!! What will I do now?? How will I go home?? I'm late, my mother will kill me!!" She said worriedly
"Don't worry miss, I can solve your problem. Please follow me.." I said
"Thank you very much.. you are so kind..!!" She said
"There's no reason to thank me. It's my pleasure to help beautiful ladies like you." I said kindly
She looked down almost shyly, with a small smile on her face.
I liked the fact that I had affected her so quickly. I would like to have her with me all the time and affect her more and more.
I helped her to walk on the opposite side and then go upstairs to my office.
"Please have a seat." I suggested and she sat on the chair in front of my desk.
"Hans!!" I shouted enough in order to be heared from outside my office, sitting behind my desk.
In seconds he knocked the door and entered the room.
Hans was my right hand, my helper. He was the most trustworthy person I knew after my family. He was my father's helper too before his death and now he was mine. I loved him as a father and I knew he loved me, my brother and my sister as his children too.
"What happened Mr Fischer??" He asked in german.
He was always talking to me in plural noun when we weren't alone.
"I want miss's heel to be fixed immediately. She is in rush. Take it wherever you can and tell them to do it quickly." I ordered in german
"Ya sir." He said
He approached the girl. She removed her broken heel and gave it to him.
"Danke." She said to him with a small kind smile.
Her answer surprised me a lot.
Does she know german?? I thought curiously
Hans took the heel and left quietly, leaving me alone with the beautiful caryatid.
"I didn't know that you are from Germany.." I said trying desperately to start a discussion with her
"No. I'm from Greece. I was born and I live here." She said
"I asked because you talked to him in german." I said
"I just know german." She said "I learned them at school. It's a very interesting language. I like it a lot."
"That's nice." I said.
I liked the fact that she loved my language. She didn't seem like those Greeks who were disgused only at the sound of german.
"Oh how stupid of me!! I forgot to introduce myself to you." I said "My name is Rudolph Fischer. I 'm one of the main German generals here. Friends call me Rolf."
I gave my hand to her and she took it.
"It's nice to meet you mr Fischer." She said smiling
"Me too, but I thought I said that friends call me just Rolf." I said
"Oh I'm sorry.." she said "Does that mean that.. we are friends?? We just met.."
Although it was hard for me to admit it, but I liked the fact that she wasn't so much in rush like the other women who were trying to meet me so desperately. It was intriguing me. I knew that she would fall for me sooner or later and I would savor her like a glass of old red wine.
"That doesn't mean that a friendship can't be started between us. Don't you agree..?? But.. I don't know your name, what's your name??" I asked curiously
What the hell is wrong with you Rolf?? Seems like that this beautiful caryatid has taken your mind!! I thought smirking
"My name is Irene." She answered
"Irene.. the perfect name for a beautiful caryatid like you..!!" I said
"Me?? A caryatid??" She asked "That was a very nice compliment of you.. you will make me blush now.."
"That wasn't a compliment, that was the truth.." I said
She didn't say anything, she just smiled.
I had to admit that she had a beautiful smile.
"So?? Will you tell me where you were going?? Had you gone to see your sisters?? The other caryatids??" I asked smiling
She let out a small laugh.
"Almost.." she said "I was in the hospital to see my sister because she gave birth to her child just two days ago. If you consider me beautiful as a caryatid, then my sister is beautiful as a greek goddess."
"Really?? Anyway, I have seen only you and I can talk only about you. I believe that you are very beautiful." I insisted
She looked at me flirtily. I liked those green emerald eyes looking at me like that.
"You know.. I have heared so much about you.. Rolf.." she said
I raised an eyebrow.
"I don't think that you have heared good things about me.. I know that people here hate me.." I admited
Poor people.. I thought you don't know yet..
"Maybe.. but I usually believe what I see and not what I hear. I see a very handsome man who is very kind, mature and very appealing." She said giving me the same look
She received the same one from me this time.
Mutual wants caryatid?? I thought.
"It's nice hearing those words from so beautiful lips like yours.." I said back
Oh how much I would like to have them in a passionate and hungry kiss right now!! I added in my mind
I was interested in Irene, I liked her a lot. The game had already begun and I would play hard if it was necessary in order to win her.
She was about to speak when someone knocked the door.
"Ya!!" I shouted and the door opened revealing Hans.
"Everything okay Hans??" I asked him
"Ya. Miss's heel is fixed." He said mixing greek with german.
He gave a bag to Irene and she thanked him. Then he left without saying anything else.
"Well, it's time to return to my house. My mother will discipline me for sure, she is very cruel with me and my sisters according to this topics." She said wearing her shoe "Thank you very much for your help Rolf. I really appreciated what you did for me. I will never forget it."
"Me too. I won't forget you." I said "Do you want me to accompany you to your house??"
"No thank you. Not that I have problem with you but.. my neighbors will start gossiping me and I don't want that." She said
"Okay. But.. how about meeting me again??" I asked
"Yes, why not?? I would like that." She said
"Do you want me to phone you?? Will you give me your number??" He asked
"No. No. Don't misunderstand me, but I don't want my family to know. I told you that they are cruel. I will come here to find you tomorrow. Is that okay??" She asked
"Completely." I answered
She gave me her hand and I kissed the back of it.
"See you tomorrow Irene." I said
"See you tomorrow Rolf." She said back
Lydia
Five months later
"Where is my little one?? Where is my butterfly?? Where is my little cutie??" I asked playfully
Markella started giggling at my words. She was so beautiful when she was laughing. Well, she was always beautiful, but she was extra beautiful when she was laughing and smiling.
"Are you here?? Yes?? You are mama's cutie??" I asked playfully again
I tickled her tummy and she laughed more.
Oh how much I love that sound?? I thought
Since the day she came to the world, five months ago, my life changed to better. I had found a new reason to exist, a new reason to wake up every day.
The same reason was her father some months ago. Since I learned about his death, I never thought that I would feel so happy again. But there I was, laughing with my daughter.
Markella had made me feeling strong again, stronger than every other time. I was thanking God every single minute for giving her to me.
The first days with her were a little difficult for me. I was barely sleeping at night in order to keep an eye on my daughter. The first days of a newborn are always difficult and I had become overprotective. In the mornings I was sleeping as much as I could and my mother with Persephone were doing the housework. My sisters were helping as much as they could too.
Two months after the labour, Persephone returned to her house and I started doing the housework again plus babysitting. But I wasn't complaining, my mother and Persephone were helping me a lot when I needed them. Also taking care of my baby was something that I was doing with pleasure. I was never tired for her. Every single smile of Markella was vanishing my tiredness and was relieving my pain.
Andrew had stayed the same and maybe he had become more unbearable than ever. When Markella was crying, he was yelling at me in order to make it stop as if the baby had a button in order to turn it off when it was crying. Sometimes he was bad-mouthing me and hitting me too. Of course he was never helping me with anything, especially with the baby. He didn't want to have anything with it.
Also our economics weren't the best. Since Andrew returned from the war and Germans had come to Greece, he didn't have much work to do. His trips weren't many and they were short. The money that was given to him weren't enough. I was buying our necessary supplies with extra difficulty and Andrew was blaming me like everything that was happening to us was my fault.
I didn't want to ask my parents for money, I knew that the situation was difficult for them too. My father had taken my money and had turned it into gold pounds, in order to use them in extra emergency . Of course I had hidden them in a secret place with my wedding rings from my engagement with Mark, in order to be safe from Andrew. He would waste all of the money in one day.
Vicky had helped me a lot too. If it wasn't for her, Markella wouldn't be baptised. She had paid almost for everything and of course she was the godmother of Markella. Also I was the godmother of Harry, Vicky's son. She was the best friend I could ask for. She was helping me a lot. She was visiting me with Harry but most of the times I was going to their house with Markella in order her grandparents to spend time with her.
Speaking of grandparents, my parents were excited with their granddaughter. Sometimes they were acting so childish for their Markella. My father whenever was visiting my house, he was always bringing a present for her, although nobody shouldn't waste money nowdays. My mother was giddy too for her grandchild, she didn't mind anymore that it was a girl and not a boy. "I would never change her for all the world's boys!!" She used to say. Not that Mark's parents loved him less than my parents.
My siblings were crazy for their niece too. They were playing with her a lot, if they could, they would play with her all the time. Especially Dimitri, he was acting like the father that Markella was never going to meet.
But the one who was leaving me in awe was Persephone. She loved Markella as if she was her biological grandchild, something that was annoying Andrew a lot. I think that he was jealous of my daughter because she was taking so much love from his mother. I had heared her a lot of times saying how much she wanted to hear Markella calling her "grandma" one day.
Maybe Markella was unlucky to the fact that her father wasn't alive, but she was lucky to the fact that she had aquired three grandmas all the sudden.
"Did you eat and did you have a bath?? Are you ready to play with mama now?? Yes?? Will you play with mama??" I asked playfully
She smiled widely.
I started blowing rasberries on her tummy and she bursted out laughing.
After a few seconds I placed a kiss on her tummy and she gave me a sweet smile.
I was about to take her in my arms when I heared Andrew calling me.
"Lydia!! Where are you??"
"In Markella's room!! What do you want??" I asked blowing a kiss to my baby
"Will you stop spending time with her just for a little?? We have more imporant things to do!!" He complained
"What do you want Andrew??" I asked rudely
"Come to the living room. I want to talk to you." He said
"Can't we talk later?? I wanted to play with her a little bit before it's time to put her in bed." I asked
My daughter was always coming first, especially between her and Andrew
"No Lydia!!" He snapped "I said I want to talk to you NOW!!"
He left and went to the living room waiting for me
I swiveled around to look at my daughter. She was looking at me like she was complaining. Then I saw something hilarious. She flicked her tongue out, like she was making fun of Andrew.
I hid my laughter with my palm. Then I pinched softly her nose and she smiled.
"Come on, let's go outside." I whispered to her.
I took her in my arms and left her nursery, heading to the living room.
I found him sitting on a sofa chair and I sat on the other one next to his.
"So?? What do you want to tell me??" I asked getting Markella comfortable in my arms
"You know that I don't earn a lot of money from my job anymore. Germans have taken our ports and we travel rarely." He said
"I know that. That's why I suggest you to find another job, but you don't want to listen to me." I complained
"I found a one." He said
"Really?? How much money will they give you??" I asked
"A lot of money." He answered
"Really??" I asked curiously "Where will you work??"
"I will become a translator to Germans. I speak german very well and I believe I'm perfect for this job." He said
What?? I thought shocked
"What are you saying??" I asked "Are you serious?? Will you go to work for those killers??"
I was seeing red at that moment. I wanted to explode, I wanted to grab him from the shirt and hit his head on the wall, but I thought of Markella. I didn't want to upset her.
"Lydia don't think like that.. I won't kill with them, I will just translate!!" He said
"You are wrong!! You will help them to kill!!" I said "Don't you understand it?? Don't go Andrew!!"
"Are you kidding me?? Do you know how much money they will give me??" He asked "I would be crazy to refuse."
"No!!" I said intensely "Now you are crazy that you accept!!"
"Watch over your language when you talk to me!!" He shouted
I heared Markella mewling quietly, she was ready to cry.
"Shh it's okay my baby.. it's okay.." I said sweetly to her caressing her hair and face
"Also you stop shouting and scare her!!" I said intensely "Don't you understand that they will kill you sooner or later like their previous translator??"
That was true. They had found a second translator but they killed him just a month ago because he had betrayed them. I knew that they were searching for a new one but I had never thought about Andrew.
"He betrayed them Lydia!! He was spreading German's secrets to Greeks." He said
"And you will spread Greek's secrets to Germans!! That's even worse!! You will betray your country!!" I said
"It's too late now Lydia!!" He said "I accepted, I will start tomorrow!!"
Are you kidding me now?? I thought
"Then why did you tell me that you wanted to talk to me?? You wanted to announce me your decision..!!" I said
"I would never ask your permission for anything!!" He said
"Then learn that I will never buy anything with money that will be given to us by Germans!!" I said standing up caressing ny daughter's back and hair
She had wrapped her small arms around my neck and she had leaned to my shoulder.
"Oh really?? And how will you feed your beloved daughter?? How will you raise her without being able to give her the bare necessities?? She is a baby!!" He asked making me angrier "I want to see what you will do in this situation Lydia!! What will you do then??"
I hated the fact that he was right. Markella was just five months old, she was still too young. Also I had to eat enough and healthy because I was still breastfeeding. I needed to buy her diapers, the milk that she would need if something bad happened to me and I couldn't breastfeed her anymore.
I didn't want to depend on Germans, I hated it. As I hated the fact that I was married to Andrew.
Damn you Andrew Beniris!! Damn you!! Damn the war!! Damn the day I met you!! Damn the day I married you!! I thought angrily tightening my grip a little bit around my baby
I saw him standing up approaching me.
"What happened Lydia?? Did the cat eat your tongue??" He asked ironically "Can't you resist to your beloved daughter??"
He touched my chin and I pulled away
"Don't touch me!!" I growled
"I want to see what you will do when Markella will be crying out of hunger and you won't have anything to feed her!!" He said chuckling
"Stop for God's sake!!" I almost shouted hugging Markella tighter
Disgusting pig!! Monster!! Snake!! I thought angrily
He was playing with my nerves. He loved watching me unable to fight for what I wanted. He knew my weakness for my daughter, he knew where I was hurting the most and he was exploiting!!
"It's your choice!!" He said and laughed evily
Then he opened the door and left the house.
Markella started crying softly, it was time for her to sleep.
"Shh it's okay my love.. it's okay.." I soothed her "Mommy will never let that happen.."
I started rubbing her back softly and she started relaxing.
"Let's put you to bed now, you are tired my sunshine.." I whispered to her
I went to her nursery and placed her softly in her crib, she was already asleep.
I admired her, she was sleeping like an angel.. my Markella.. my daughter..
"I will always protect and take care of you.." I whispered "Always no matter what.."
Dimitri
As I thrusted deep inside Viktoria she moaned loudly
"Ohh.. Dimitri.."
I took her lips in a sweet but passionate kiss
"More quiet my love, they will hear us.." I whispered to her ear
We tried to be quiet, although we were alone at her house, but we could never know if someone was hearing us from outside.
Her room was filled from our muffled moans and the bed's squeaks. Those sounds were being mixed together perfectly, creating my favourite song.
I liked her moaning my name, looking at me lustfully, kissing me passionately.
If someone told me that I would fall in love with my sister's best friend, I wouldn't believe him. But there I was, making love to her.
I knew Viktoria since Irene went to school for first time. I had met her when she was seven years old and I was fifteen. I was a teenager, I was interested in other things more important than my sister's friend.
As she was growing up, around her sixteen to seventeen, I had found myself very appealed by her. She had started being a woman, her body had been shaped. She was thin and not very tall, but tall enough. She had black hair falling perfectly on her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes.
We had started getting closer and closer. We were getting along very well and I had understood that our feelings were mutual.
I never understood why, but for some reason I could always read her like an open book. She was much different like the other girls I had met before her. She had a pure innocence, something than nobody can find easily nowdays. She was strong and brave, kind, always honest and quiet.
Her innocence was what had held me back when we started our relationship and didn't let me to sleep with her. But love and lust are always unexpected.
The day that we had been to the excursion with my sisters and the other guys one and a half year ago, things took a different way. We had gone for a walk alone, we sat in the sand watching the sea talking. I started kissing her, she was kissing me back with the same fevor. Soon the kisses were becoming more and more passionately. So passionately that we hadn't realised that Viktoria was reclined on the sand with me above her. That was our first time.
If she had told me that she had regreted it, I would have felt very guilty, but Viktoria had other beliefs. Although she was feeling guilty according to her parents, she hadn't regreted it.
Since I came back from the war and learned that things for Jews were very difficult because of Germans, I was waiting for her family to leave the house in order for her to stay alone. When they were leaving, I was entering her house always carefully in order not to be seen by anyone. Then our lustfull moments were starting.
Only at the thought of her leaving me, I was going insane. I couldn't live without her, it was impossible. I loved her so much!!
She moaned again.
I groaned. I was close, I could feel it. From her reaction I understood that the same was happening to her either.
After some more powerfull thrusts, we came together.
Our moans were now replaced by hard pants. I pecked her lips and pulled out of her, making her moan out of complaint.
I chuckled.
I sat on her bed looking at her. Her legs were still open, her whole naked body was full of sweat and she was still panting. It was such a tempting sight!!
Don't tempt me again Viktoria, because I won't bear for long!! I thought without taking my eyes of her
Then I stood up and wore my underwear. I searched for a cigarette inside my trousser's pocket and when I found it with a lighter, I sat down again ready to smoke. Before I put the cigarette on my lips, she stopped me.
"Don't smoke..!! You will get me in great trouble if they smell it.." she said
"Okay." I answered and put them back in my pocket.
She stood up and started dressing herself up. I started looking at her, I was always doing that when she was dressing up.
She was trying to latch her bra's clips but she couldn't, she seemed annoyed. I stood up and latched the clips for her. Then I placed a soft kiss on her neck and she caressed my hair with her hand. I kissed her lips softly and she kissed me back.
She pulled away first.
"Dress up, I don't know what time they will come." She said and continued dressing herself
"Okay, I will.." I murmured kissing her neck
"Now Dimitri!!" She said
"Okay I will..!!" I said back and did what I was said
She didn't seem very well this morning. Something was happening to her.
"You aren't in good mood today, are you??" I asked her "What's wrong my love?? Talk to me.."
She sighed.
"Will you come again tomorrow??" She asked
"If you want me to, I will. You know that I love being with you.." I answered
Jesus I was heared so romantic!! I thought
"If you come tomorrow it will be our last time.." she said
I froze.
"What do you mean??" I asked approaching her
"We are leaving in two days. Guys of the organisation finally managed to make fake passports for us." She answered
"They said it and told it!!" I sighed frustrated
"What did you want them to do?? If they waited you, me and my family would be caught by Germans!!" She almost shouted "You don't what we have been through during those months. We are afraid that they will come to arrest us from minute to minute!!"
I grabbed her from her shoulders and shaked her.
"Don't you know that I love you?? Don't you know that I can't live without you?? I can't let you go so easily, don't you understand??" I snapped
"Do you think that I can live without you?? I'm in pain too Dimitri!! My heart aches too, not only yours!!" She snapped back
I saw her tearing.
"I had told you that I would think of something!!" I complained
"Oh really?? Tell me what you have thought all these months!!" She said
I looked down. Unfortunately she was right, I was so obsessed with her that I had completely forgotten it. It was my fault.
I failed to protect Lydia from Andrew and now I failed Viktoria too.
"Do you know what is the only thing you have thought about?? What will you do with the group!!" She said angrily "You will go to the mountain, right??"
"Yes.." I mumbled
"So you would leave for the mountain in order to fight from there, to be a resistant and you would leave me here!!" She said
"No I wouldn't leave you!!" I supported myself
"Then what would you do??" She shouted
"Give me some time!! I will think something!!" I said
"I can't give you more time!! Don't you understand?? Two days!! That's all you have!! But you won't manage to do anything!!" She shouted
"I will!!" I said "Have you packed??"
"Yes, why??" She asked
"You will write a letter to your parents. I will tell you what you will write.." I said
"Why??" She asked
"I will explain to you." I said
I told her what I had in my mind. She was a little hesitate, but she agreed. I kissed her and left.
I ran to my house. When I arrived, I entered it.
"Irene!!" I shouted "Irene are you here??"
I saw my little sister coming from her bedroom.
"What happened Dimitri??" She asked
"Irene I need your help." I said
