 * Chapter 14: In chapter 14, Annemarie was walking in the woods to deliver the small paper wrapped package to her Uncle Henrik. As she was walking through the cold woods, she was thinking about the story //Red Riding Hood//. She remembered how she used to tell it to her sister. Kirsti used to ask a lot of questions about the story. Some included why she was called Little Red Riding Hood and why not Little Red Cloak. Then, Annemarie heard a noise. She didn't worry too much because it was probably just a squirrel or rabbit. The path Annemarie took was twisty and curvy. There were a lot of roots that she could trip on, just like her mother did. The path was dark and she couldn't really see. There were overgrown bushes and trees. Then, she thought of her mother and her extremely swollen ankle. She also thought of when she was a little girl and she would take this path to her uncle's boat. Finally, Annemarie heard a growl. She saw the four armed soldiers with their dog **


 * Chapter 15:**

In chapter 15, Annemarie was on her way to her uncle's boat when she ran into soldiers. She started to act like a foolish little girl and she said, "Good morning" to the soldiers. The soldiers were curious why the little girl was up so early. Annemarie explained her uncle forgot his lunch and that she was delivering it. The soldier then took a loaf of bread from the basket and gave it to his dogs. Annemarie begged the soldiers to let her go deliver her uncle's lunch. Then, one of the soldiers found the package and opened it. It was just a handkerchief. Then, finally, Annemarie left and made itto her uncle's boat. Uncle Henrik thanked her and said everything was all right because of her.


 * Chapter 16: **
 * In this chapter, Uncle Henrik, Annemarie, Kirsti and Mrs. Johansen are all talking about what happened a couple hours ago. Annemarie returned home and found a note from the doctor that said he took her mother to the hospital for her ankle. In the barn, Blossom stood uncomfortably and needing to be milked. Since no one was around, Annemarie did it. Uncle Henrik was surprised Blossom didn't kick her. Kirsti still had no idea about the Rosens. Mrs. Johansen told her that Ellen's parents came to pick her up. Then, Annemarie and her uncle went into the barn. They talked about how Annemarie didn't see the Rosens on her uncle's boat last night. He told her that they were there. They were hiding under the floor boards. The Rosens had to be extremely quiet. He also explained about the handkerchief and how if one of the dogs sniffed it, they would ruin their sense of smell. The soldiers and their dogs did in fact stop uncle Henrik's boat. A few minutes after they left, the Rosens were safe in Sweden. Uncle Henrik assured Annemarie that Ellen would return when the war ended. **

Chapter 17 : ** In this chapter the war had ended. Annemarie would know because her uncle (Henrik) told her. It have been years since the war has started. Annemarie was twelve now. The Danish flag was raised. Then people stood in the street singing the national anthem of Denmark. She stood at her balcony seeing all the flags and banners hanging in almost every window. Even Kristi was growing up .No longer a lighthearted chatterbox. Annemarie found out some most horrible new she could hear. Peter was shot for helping Jewish people escape. In the letter he sent the Johansens from prison, he wanted to be buried next to Lise, but the Nazis buried him right where he was shot. His grave was only marked by a number. The Johansens went to the numbered graves and laid flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Johansen then explained that Lise was a part of the Resistance too and she was run over by a Nazi car. Then, they went home and Annemarie asked her father to fix Ellen's necklace. He agreed and Annemarie said she would wear it herself, until Ellen and her family returned home. **
