Hello everyone! I hope you like my story! I'm not to sure on when I will update next, but it should be soon! Also, sorry for any grammatical errors, I'm not the best speller out there.
Hetalia does not belong to me. And I will be using Human names, so incase you don't know them, here they are in order of being mentioned by name in the story:
Matthew- Canada
Carlos- Cuba
"Mommy?" I said looking up to my mother who had woken me up near midnight and told me to get into the car.
She looked at me with a small smile," Yes Matthew?" She replied, keeping her indigo eyes on the abandoned road.
"Where are we going? Where's Papa?" My young mouth started firing the questions rapidly. She stayed silent for a moment, thinking over her reply.
"We're going to get you help. Mommy and Papa can't keep taking care of you." She said turning onto a dirt road. I looked down to the floor of the old van. I wasn't normal, I could talk to shadows and they'd talk back, even play with me.
Mommy started talking again," You are going to stay with these people Matthew, Mommy and Papa aren't coming back to get you." She said with little to no sorrow in her voice.
"B-but-" I started questioning her. Not coming back to get me?!
"No buts Matthew." She said raising her voice," We are almost to your new home so stay quiet." She warned. I could feel tear well up in my eyes as I stayed silent for the rest of the drive. A huge metal structure popped into view, people littered the front of the building. Some wore white lab coats like in the movies, while the rest had vests on and a large gun in their hands.
Slowing the car to a stop Mom easily exited the car and told me to wait in the car. I watched her through the windshield, she talked to one of the people n the coats and held her hand out. He was taller than the other people and even Mommy. He had tanned skin and curly back hair, he placed money in her hand and spoke a few words.
"What did he say?" I asked my shadowy friends, they always heard what was said because they were always around.
They happily sang back to me. "He asked where you where and told her she would be paid in full once they were given the subject."
I watched in silent horror as Mommy walked back to the car, smiling while counting the money. I curled in on myself. I didn't want to be taken by these men, I wanted my Papa. I wanted to be invisible, maybe then they would leave me alone and I could go back to see Papa.
The shadows around me darkened at my wish. The circled around me until I was encased in darkness.
I don't know how long I was like that, I talked to the shadows they seemed happy to fulfill my wish. A scream broke through my black bubble. It was Mommy's yelp that made me want to see out of my bubble.
I asked the bubble to make a window for me to see out of, which they did with ease. Mommy was being held against one of the men with his large gun being held to her head.
"Mommy!" I yelp popping the shadowy buble to open the door. I get out only to be picked up from behind, one of the men had went behind to car to grad me.
"Let go of me!" I yell with my small voice, beating and kicking the air. Darkness quickly amassed around me and circled the man's feet, ready to strike.
The man who had given Mommy money yelled to the man who held me." Quickly eject him, seems he is much stronger than what we were told." He looked at Mommy as he said it.
The shadows slithered around the mans legs and he grunted in pain. I then felt a prick sting me in my neck, pain bloomed from the area and the shadows seemed to grow larger and started forming spikes and headed to the man faster than anything I had ever seen.
I heard him groan and let me go, but I couldn't move, my legs denied me as I fell onto the rough ground. The male who had handed my Mom the money was in front of me now looking at me with a cold smile.
"Welcome to your new home Matthew. I am head of operations here, my name is Carlos." My vision darkened and consumed me whole.
I woke with a start. I always hated those dreams, the ones that made me reenact my life until the Containment Center. The Containment Center was meant to hold people like me, who had odd powers that could not be explained yet. It was why they tested us, to see why we had these power and if there was a way to cure them somehow.
I got up from my bed and walked to the right wall out of habit and grabbed the chalk that lie half used on the ground and use it to mark one more day gone by in my cage. There were so many little tick marks that the once gray cement wall now looked like it had been painted over with white.
A few years had passed by when I had started this as a simple way to pass time, there was only so much you were allowed to do while locked up.
I curled the shadows around me, they whispered to me with joy, swirling and creating patterns to entertain me.
"Someone is coming today!" They laughed in mirth. I can't help but roll my eyes. Someone always came by my cell, be it to get me so they can take me to the dome, or someone comes by to take me to Carlos.
"Someone always comes by my cell." I voiced my thoughts, because even after all these years of being with the shadows and talking to them, I had no clue if they could hear my thoughts. And, I'd never admit it out loud, but talking out loud like the shadows were a real person always made me feel semi-normal.
The metallic door hissed in protest as someone opened it from the outside. Four guards stood outside and readied their guns, they motioned me to follow them. So, today was a day they wanted to place us in the dome. I followed slowly, taking leisurely steps. Stepping from the cement room to the cool metal floor always made me wince. I could feel the cold trying to seep into my blood from the floor.
Silently stalking down the hall it took us a few moments to get to the entrance to the dome. I sighed and noticed something new for the first time. In the passed 13 or so years, nothing changed, nothing. The halls, the cells, my guards, the dome, the cafeteria, and the food. None of it had changed. but there was a new face with my usual stone faced guards. He stood to my right and he was looking at me. Not forward like the other guards, his eyes were solely on me and I felt my heart give a second beat.
I don't know how I had not noticed him before. He had extremely pale skin with hair to match. The white hair looked like fresh...my mind struggled for the word, it's been such a long time since I've used it, it looked like freshly laid snow. And his eyes were such a deep and yet bright red I thought I was looking into a pool of blood.
He caught my stare and smiled and my heart once more speed up. What was wrong with me? The other guards opened the metallic door to the dome and pushed me inside. I almost tripped on the way, but managed to steady myself and I looked behind me to see them shutting the door, the red eyes guard frowned at me before it closed and locked me out.
I hope you enjoyed it! Please review so I know if you guys like it or not, and fill free to give criticism.
