can you believe it I made it on the local news saying "Two young girls were killed today by army forces escaping the borders" I made it alive to Yugoslavia, I spend almost seven months in concentration camp,but I thought of bright site. I excaped from army who was chasing to kill us. So I decided to leave everyone behind me and move forward in life, I decided to escape and followed my dreams.

Garrett paused before continuing wryly.
