Reborn…

Everything was constricting. My borders felt strange, more jagged, defined. There was a burning sensation beneath my surface, something rushing, pulsing. I felt as though Armageddon was upon me and then darkness turned to a violent white light. I gasped for something I couldn't describe, but I needed it. The light was blinding and oxygen was rushing in and out of my body? I rolled to one side and saw a hand. Was a human here? The hand moved its fingers and I felt a tingling sensation along my side. I saw a reflection, a pair of crimson eyes shining in fear, a naked body as pale as snow, and silver hair falling into those lost eyes. One detail I could not ignore was a necklace dangling from this human's neck. I watched the hand gently grab the pendant and the human seemed to bring it to my eyes to see.

"Blut und Eisen," my mind raced and then memories flooded back, but not just the memories; the pain. I saw my life expanding over hundreds of years, the victories and the defeats, and then…I felt the cold hands rake over my body and the pain of being ripped in half, ripped from my brother. Then came the wall that not only divided, but closed around my cold heart. The screams I realized came from me. I saw their faces all over again, some I resented, some I missed, but the pain, oh the pain, I felt as though I were on fire. I cried, I cried out for someone to hear. I was alone, cold, naked, reborn. I was like a child all over again, terrified of the unknown.

"Bitte, lieber Gott, warum?" I started to crawl towards the refection and watched the scars mark me with all of my pride and shame. The pain was overwhelming, I had forgotten so much in my absence. I struggled to make it to the reflection and I heard doors opening behind me. Everything was going black again; this human form couldn't take the pain like I could in my old form.

"Please, try to relax, you are fine," a deep voice said and something pinched my arm. A wave of nausea swept over me and my lids grew heavy.

"Ungarn…" The world was once again black.

When I came too again, I was laying on what appeared to be a hospital bed. Something was stuck in my arm. The sun was streaming through the window and an old man was standing over my bed. I snorted at his stern face.

"It's nice to see you too. Welcome back to the world."

"Thanks for bringing me here," my accent was so thick it shocked me. I used to speak English better than this, "So why am I here."

"We brought you all back," the old man's face turned into an evil smile, "as part of an experiment."

"What? Did you bring us all back?" I shot up out of bed only to be reminded of how sore I was.

"All but one."

"All but one? Well which one isn't here? I need to know!"

"You will need to find out for yourself."

"What type of project is this?"

"Simply put; the Hetalia project."

I felt the heat in my neck flush. This doctor was obviously a scientist. I felt my old pride fall back into place as I toyed with the cross around my neck. A new journey was about to begin. Would history repeat itself or would it end right? Would I find her again, or lose once more? I inhaled and shut my eyes, this was a new chance.

"Gilbert to, today is the start of your second chance."

"What do I have to do?" My blood red eyes flickered over the old man.

"Don't mess up, Prussia."

Going to re-post this and start filling in each fan-fiction as I go.
