-"this isn't how this should've happened."
She unlatches her trembling bloodied hand, riddled with holes. Freeing the bouquet of thorned roses from her small hands; with a grip not to be underestimated.
? -"And yet, this... this is how i'll see the final happenings of my life"
She painfully says, with her light voice, cracked like glass on concrete. She slowly lifts her trembling hand, watching it seemingly and shake uncontrollably in pain.
*A nuclear bomb goes off about a mile from her Rose Garden mansion, as the moon reached it's peak of midnight*
For a few short seconds, she could see through her very flesh. Her teary soft blue eyes met upon the white of her young developing bones due to the intensity of the radiation, which... to say the least, was quite an unfortunate experience for this fraulein. Overwhelmed by the sensation of heat that felt moreso like a wind of flames blowing not only on her body, but inside as well.
? -"I'm dead" she said happily in a soft tone.
*She wipes away her tears, smearing a bright red blood streak across her face*
The delusions of her already being dead seemed to comfort the young girl who was unable to fully process her situation. It's 1942, in this alternate timeline the Nazis have beaten the world at supreme nuclear technology, especially bombs.
Her eyes shines with carelessness as she watches the bomb's blast ravage through her families field of roses, of every colourful species, instantly turning her family's Heavenly Garden into the Devils ashtray.
Her flight or fight response was overloaded. She simply froze, slowly being devoured in fear of her horrifying thread of fate soon to come in just a few short seconds. Wouldn't you? Sitting in your porch, seeing the blast of a bomb coming your way?
In reality, this little girls unfortunate journey has yet to be erased from existence. Her life is yet to be truly destroyed. Young Arliene will briefly remember her final moments as a way to acknowledge her sense of what its been like to be alive, for she will soon be put to rest by the cold kiss of the spirit in black, the cloaked entity will hug Arliene with it's scythe that cuts time to a standstill. Arliene's life, along with yours, will be no more than a lost memory. A body cold and in the ground, sleeping without a sound.
Truly, her body was nothing more than a warm corpse at that moment. Dying without even knowing it.
a tragically casual death of a girl who's body will be blown in the wind as powder. Never to be thought of nor found. With nothing to find, she'll forever be lost.

Parent(s) : Eva Ellings, Adolf Hitler
Sibling(s) : Braun Ellings- age 17
Braun was mistakenly abducted out of town by germans for hiding a group of Jews in an attic. Due to the association with the group she was presumed Jewish as well, leading her to be sent to a concentration camp. Her father found out shortly after.
"MY FATHER OWNS ALL OF YOU" she repeatedly yelled. She was publicly beheaded. Later, her father found it, for rumors of the Führer's daughter having her head kicked around by german soldiers became a hot topic amongst the savage group.
