Hi Guys! I was really excited about some of the feedback I got! So, I'll continue! R&R

Padmé was miserable. She had just taken a freezing cold shower and then forced to wear the same grimy clothes she'd worn for a week. However, she tried her best to make herself seem a little bit more presentable and had tried her best to clean up and straighten out her messy clothing, and braid her wet hair so it no longer was matted and filthy.

She sighed as she made her way over to her small corner of the room in which she reserved for herself to sleep on. She had met a few other girls who were very names were Anna and Lauren. They were kind and quite thoughtful. Anna had short, black hair and green eyes that shone so brightly, Padmé believed there was never a dull day when she was around. Lauren, had a medium type of brown hair with blonde highlights and really dark brown eyes, almost to the point of black. Both girls were much taller than Padmé, yet both 15 years of age, the same age as Padmé. Lauren, was slightly obese, a plump teen, and Anna was quite skinny. She still had some muscle, just not as much as Padmé.

Anna and Lauren both came rushing into the medium-sized room mere seconds before the bell rang which signified for everyone to be in their barracks. The two girls ran over to the exhausted Padmé before plopping down onto the cold, concrete, flooring and pretending to fall fast asleep. Once she, herself heard the footsteps coming, Padmé did so also. The girls did this when the guards came to check in on them so they wouldn't be forced to do, or answer any questions, unless awoken of course.

The heavy door swung open with a load Clang! as heavy footsteps echoed into the room. There was a few moments of awful and dreaded silence, before the footsteps resumed and the door could be heard being closed and locked.

Padmé barely had enough time to let out a breath she had subconsciously been holding before the two girls flocked her, rushing their Russian and Polish words so they appeared to be slurred. You see, Anna was a Polish Jew and Lauren was a Russian Jew. They knew some English, yet very little so they preferred to speak in their native tongues whenever possible.

Thankfully, Padmé had learned from an early age how to connect different languages, making it easier to adapt to them. Her native language was Hebrew, and she had learned English, Italian, latin, and German by the age of ten. From there, she learned how to connect languages and now could understand even more languages and speak fluently French, Polish, Russian, Romanian, and Greek.

Padmé sighed and answered each of them in their own languages. They had, over the few weeks they'd been together, been having lessons. Padmé was teaching them Hebrew since they had found a great interest in it. They were very excited and happy that Padmé was willing to do so, for it was a part of their religion and it helped them keep their Jewish culture even with all these Nazis around hurting and crushing them underfoot.

"הכי גדול של כל דברים אהבה." Padmé said.

"הכי גדול של כל דברים אהבה." The two others replied, mispronouncing slightly, yet not to the point where it wasn't understandable.

"What does it mean?" Padmé asked them.

"С величайшим из всех вещей является любовь." Lauren replied immediately. Padmé nodded and then turned to Anna. She hesitated before sighing in exasperation,

"Nie wiem!" Padmé rolled her eyes before saying slowly,

"Do największego z wszystkie rzeczy jest miłość." Anna gasped as she slowly connected the dots. She nodded in understanding before Padmé continued on with the lesson with more about the Hebrew language and culture.


Once the two girls were satisfied, they slowly lay down quietly and closed their eyes. Padmé carefully waited until nothing cold be heard but the steady, deep, breathing of the two girls. Once she was sure they were both asleep, she sang softly:

"Kolod baleva penimah,

nefesh yehudi homiyah,

Ulefaatey mizrah kadimah,

ayin leTziyon tzofiyah.

Od lo av'dah tikvatehnu,

Hatikva sh'not apayim,

Lih'yot am hofshi beartzenu,

Eret Tziyon virushalayim."

Silently, she fell asleep with hopes of better tomorrow and dreams of a wonderful future.

Alrighty people! Just so you know, most of the translating really just meant 'The greatest of all things is love.' It was the only thing I could think of that somewhat related to the Torah but not to the point where it could be in any way offensive to other religions.

Oh, and that song is the Isreal anthem. It's gonna be a little symbolic in this story. Not to the point where it is all the story is, but I really like it and sing it all the time. Review, and I'll continue!
