The family had just narrowly avoided any confrontations with the Nazis as they hid away behind gravestones in the abbey. But when a single light shone on them, they all couldn't help but quiver with fear, knowing their cover had been blown.

Eager to put his family at ease and relieve them from the potential dangers which lie ahead of them, Captain Von Trapp quickly approached the young Nazi soldier, Rolfe. As he did so, Rolfe pulled out a gun from his hip holster and shakily pointed it at the Captain, who froze immediately. Not wanting any harm to come to his family, he instructed them to move away.

"Maria...children." He signaled for them to make a run for it towards the caretaker's car where they would drive to safety, but as they descended the stairs, more Nazis seemed to appear out of nowhere and a scuffle took place.

Whistles blew, shots rang out from the soldiers' pistols, shooting them upward to frighten the family and let them know they had been caught. Marta and Gretl cried out - screaming for the comfort of their parents. Being the eldest of the seven, Liesl and Freidrich tried to keep order with their siblings as their family was chased. Brigitta and Louisa held onto each other while trying to comfort the two youngest girls. And Maria, being the last one out from the behind the gravestones, grabbed onto the closest child, which happened to be Kurt; and she clung onto him for dear life.

Soldiers ran to apprehend the Captain while others rushed to grab either Maria or any of the children. As the nine Von Trapps attempted to stay together and flee to safety, it looked as if that may never happen...
