<div align="center"><strong>One last dance - 1943</strong><br/><br/>Aletta knew that what she was doing was wrong. It was worse, even. As a child she had played with Jewish children, her parents used to invite the Cohen's over for parties: back in the days they had been the perfect, welcoming family, but after the Germans came and took their town over, there was nothing of that hospitality left. Not to the Jews, at least. <br/><br/>Rolf was a young, German lad whom had been sent to Aletta's town to hunt the undesirable people down and pass on their names to someone higher in status. Since he arrived in 1941, he had been taking care of Aletta <em>so well</em> she even trusted him with her body. Things had started off when she was fifteen, back in the summer of '41 when he told her about the other girls having this so-called "work": being there for the pleasures of the other guys, which the other girls had already informed her about <em>in painful details</em>. Rolf wasn't like that he said, he'd be gentle and kind and he had never mistreated her. Yet he had his... Mood swings. There were days at which Aletta didn't know what to do to please him because he would keep ranting at her, telling her she would eventually leave him. He'd end up fucking her senseless in the hayloft, murmuring about his terrible fate and falling asleep on her hot, sweaty chest afterwards. Those days were the worst. <br/><br/>At one of those days Aletta sat in their meadow, overthinking her future, when she saw a small spot in the sky becoming bigger and bigger until she could see a human form in it. A human form in the shape of a man with a parachute, a man not much older than she was and who'd become a threat as well as a great love to her. She was torn between two men and didn't have the slightest clue what to do. One lived with her and was supposed to be her future husband, whilst the other lived hidden in the hay barn. She brought Ryan food, that she had intentionally made for Rolf.<br/><br/><br/>Aletta Kramer is a seventeen year-old girl who has shoulderlength dark blond hair and blue eyes. She's approximately 5'4 tall and has the curves she should have, though they're hidden behind shirts, knee-length skirts and nightgowns most of the time. She's feminine and friendly, cooks wonderful meals even though they're rationed. Aletta feels hurt and experiences bad stomach pain at night because of the stress she has to deal with. Her father is a banker and thus an important man. <br/><br/>There are things Aletta had never quite had, such as a childhood, true friends and - however she doesn't realise - true love. There are things she dreams of but knows she'll never get, her own family, a loving husband who'll come home after a long day of work, her own "home". She is mature beyond her years, though the teenage girl in her feels greatly confused by everything around her. <br/><br/>Aletta used to be curvier and doesn't feel feminine at all, even though she is. Her hair is straight but she occasionally sleeps with curlers. She is good at foreign languages (French, German and English) which comes in very useful at times like these.<br/><br/>(http://i49.tinypic.com/s18cxz.jpg)<br/><br/>(I am well aware that this pic was taken in a sixties setting, but I thought it to be the closest to Aletta)<br/><br/><br/>Ryan Lackley was born and raised in London. He was always a lover of peace, never thinking in his childhood that he would join the military in his late teens and be pulled into one of the worst wars thus far in history. He had a relatively quiet childhood; He went to school, hung out with friends, went home, and slept to have a reboot of more of the same the next day. Nothing really more than that. That all changed on his 18th birthday. His father was called out to war against Germany and was killed in combat by a German soldier. Once Ryan gained this information, he felt it was his duty to fight. He joined the English military and went through rigorous training. He was a great pilot, so they assigned him his own helicopter. It was his job to transport soldiers to deployment points, and pick up any injured soldiers. A few years went by and he was flying over Aletta's hometown, and his helicopter was shot down by a German pilot. He was forced to eject from his helicopter, managing to parachute down with almost no damage, besides a few cuts from the impact against the ground.<br/><br/>Ryan is now 20 years old, he is a leaner man with minimal muscle. He is trained in hand-to-hand combat though he's lacking in firearm training. He has a noble heart and will always help one who appears to be in trouble.<br/><br/>(http://i49.tinypic.com/33ws1ef.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Rolf Blaschke was an only child born in Hamburg in 1916. His father was Korvettenkapitän (Lieutenant Commander) in the Kriegsmarine (German navy) and his mother was an ordinary housewife, very submissive to his father. His education was strict; any mistake made in his studies or his attitude towards his parents and teachers would be answered with beatings. This resulted in him becoming a reserved child, but very spiteful of his parents. Nevertheless, he had many friends in primary school and high school. <br/><br/>A dedicated pupil, he made it to Universität Hamburg, studying medicine there. <br/><br/>He was finishing his graduation when the war started; he was 22 then. His father forced him to join the army, and very soon he was in the frontline, fighting the French soldiers at the Maginot line. His prowess in combat – which he had gained during the tough military training he had had before - and medical skills were very useful to his squad of the Medical Troops, and he very quickly climbed the military hierarchy to the rank of Leutnantl (second lieutenant). After the successful conquest of France, he was sent back to Germany to help the medical squad of the Waffen SS in a small town. Being one of the highest ranked members there, he's having privileges with the locals, as with a certain young woman...<br/><br/>He doesn't really enjoy being engaged in SS activities, such as hunting Jews, gypsies and people with dwarfism down, but a soldier of the Wehrmacht must obey orders. He's diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), although he hides this from everyone. Because of this, he's prone to sudden mood changes, and his moods vary from depressive to violent.<br/><br/>Rolf is tall (6.1 ft) and bulky (185 lbs). His hair is short, light blond, and he has blue eyes. He has very light skin.<br/><br/>(http://i49.tinypic.com/vo9y1j.png)</div><br/><br/>
