Goeth was coming closer, all shining black leather boots and crisp black uniform. One of his dogs lifted its ears and looked right at me.I pulled back away from the wall. "Were trapped. We have to get out of here. " I was almost choking on my own fear. "And go where?" Thomas hissed. "If we leave, theyll find us in the barrack!""I dont care. We cant be caught here." I pushed my way up and out of the crawlspace. I gasped, filling my lungs. But if I didnt really want to die , I had to move quickly. My heart was thumping. but I it made me feel alive, and feeling alive made me want to stay alive.
