The call to her arms, Chapter 1
She shook her head vigorously to dismiss the thought… And that’s when she saw them.
A patrol… Three of them… Amongst whom, one officer… They were walking around the fountain, and were about to pass her.
She shuddered… She had to think of her options. Leave the bench and walk away?… That would be much too obvious… No, she had to stay where she was.
She tried to stay calm and took a deep breath. Then, smiling as she pretended to watch some children playing with small wooden boats on the other side of the big fountain, she waited, her heart pounding loudly in her chest.
The patrol got closer, and a shiver ran down her spine as she felt the scrutinizing eyes on her. The sound of the loud steps on the gravel suddenly stopped, and she held her breath, the beat of her heart now echoing in her ears.
There was a pause that seemed to last forever, but that was only a few seconds, and during which she kept the pretence of admiring the children, despite the fear she felt inside. Then finally, the steps resumed behind her and she heard them walk away.
She slowly let out the breath she had been holding, and tried to calm her heart as best as she could. It had been close… She suddenly thought about Becky and Sam and started to panic. What if they had met a patrol themselves, or been discovered in their hideaway?… She had to go to them… Now. She would think about the situation later, and she would find a way. She had to…
She got up and turned around to leave… And then her heart stopped.
Three pairs of cold eyes… All of them on her.
She hadn’t heard them come back. And she was painfully aware that her surprise mixed with the fear she felt in that moment couldn’t be disguised this time.
One of the soldiers came closer.
“Papieren Bitte!!”
She started to panic, and tried to think quickly. Obviously, there was no way she was going to show them her real documents, so she nodded and pretended to search in her purse.

Oh Wow, how exciting. The beginning made me shed a few tears as I know it will when we get to that point in the story. Hope they can find that little bastard that took her money, the ass. Another fab story from you. Well done. Thanks.

Thanks so much for posting this story. You picked a very interesting time and location for this. Lots of tension, drama and heartbreak are inevitable given the circumstances. I hope Bette and Tina can find strength and solace in each other to get them through it all.
Hey K !! I’m so late in catching up with this new story of yours I’m ashamed ! Anyway, I believe you already know by now what I think of it, and what I think of your writing, but just wanted to drop in and say “YOU’RE A FRACKING ROCKSTAR !!!!” I mean, in case you didn’t know… ;) thank you for this new gift of a story.
Very Interesting. Love it. I am hooked my friend.
This is the beginning of a great love story.
My dad was stationed in England and got lost in France on a mission, the resistance got him out, it was one of the very few stories he told.
Sweet mother of pearl Kw – 20 pages to “set the scene”!?! It’s like Christmas come early (LOL). This is BRILLIANT! I’ve always had a fascination with WWII and Civil War based stories. The opening evokes an array of emotions that are so palpable and hint at the intrigue to come that it sucked me in right away. I’m looking forward to seeing where you take us on this journey. All I can say is Godspeed to our gals. Patiently but eagerly looking forward to your next chapter :)
Totally engrossing. I held my breath while reading. This story has the makings of a true tibette classic.
Hi Kw! So happy to see your name again in the front page ;-) and boy! What a beginning!! I am thrilled to read more.. And no matter how you said that it’s long chapter to make us understand the situations… Well.. I still can’t get it?! So would you post another long chapter again to make me have a better understanding of the situations? … :-p lol… You cant blame me for asking you this after being hooked by story and it’s worth a try I guess ;-) he3.. :o)
A new story from you is always a really nice surprise and what a start.Thank you.PPS
