Dear Diary,

My mother still hasn't gotten better yet. Ever since my dad, Argentina's, disappearance she hasn't been doing so well, being at the fact she is a human and not a country like me so she gets sad easily . I hope one day we find him but for now we have to do with the little money I could bring in. To make the matters worst she is worried about me getting captured by Spain which is also making her sickness grow higher. So I try hard not to speak about plans on how to escape him if he finds me here in, Italy. I really can't do this on my own anymore. What if she dies while I'm writing this diary entry? What will I do then? Turn myself into the Spanish man's hand. I think not I have faith in my mom that she is going to get better and we are going to live a happy life, like my father and her always dreamed of. It makes me sad to even think about her dying so I will just stop here for today.

Adios, Carmen Alcia Sanchezno

Alcia looked from her desk and out at the sea, seeing something she dreaded the most.

The Spanish Armada. Alcia jumped from her spot at the desk and raced to her mother's room where she laid dead on the floor. Tears filled her eyes as she dropped to the floor next to her mom's lifeless body. "Why, mommy? Why? I can't live without you. I told you I was going to find poppy and bring him back." She held her mom one last time before she ran outside to grab the horse, Chez, and get her ready for her long trip out of Italy. But first she had to bury her mom so she went to the place, between the clouds, in the sky in peace. Alcia sprinted back inside and to her surprise she picked her mom up with no effort, what so ever. "You must have lost weight while you were on bed rest." She said to the corpse. That's all the lady last known as Marie Constantine Hagnizo Sanchezno was now a lifeless corpse with long light brown hair and dark brown eyes. Alcia wiped one last tear from her chocolate brown eyes and tied her light brown hair into a ponytail. She jumped onto the Chez's back and took off in the speed of light looking for the big oak tree she use to climb as a little girl. That tree brought back memories for Alcia, she had her first kiss there, her dad taught her how to use a sword and a gun, and this was the last place she saw her dad before he went off into the deep dark forest. She reached the tree and pulled her mom off of Chez, and placed her by the tree and wrapped her in the blanket her mother always used when she fell sick. "Te amo mama. I might have lost you and poppy but I shall never loss hope!" she whispered to herself as she held onto the the charm her mom gave her the night before. After Alcia said that she heard a laugh come from behind her. 'That laugh, its way to familiar' she thought to herself and when she turned around she meet eyes with the brown haired man she feared most. Antonio Carriedo Fernandez. " Long time no see, amor. You might want to give up hope now because well if you try and run now you will get shot." Antonio said sweetly and closed his green eyes as he smiled, as if it wasn't harsh to kill a woman. "Sooo. Just give up and come with me." He said a extended his hand for her to take. Alcia looked at him and then at his hand. Alcia stepped back out of his reach but back into another man who had chestnut brown hair and brown eyes who gripped her tightly by her arms. " Good boy, Lovino. I knew one day my goods would rub off on you. Now tie her up." Antonio said as he pat the boy on the head. "Don't touch me. You damn tomato bastard." He cursed at him and smacked his hand away. Lovino did as he was told but genteelly massaged her hands to make them feel a little less painful. "Don't worry I won't be harsh with you." Lovino whispered into Alcia's ear as he walked her back to the Armanda with a little smile on his face. "Hey are you smiling, Lovi?" Antonio asked with joy in his voice when he saw his friend smiling for the first time. "WHAT? NO I AM NOT. AND IF I WAS IT DOESN'T MATTER!" Lovino glared at the older nation that was walking in front of them. "Ok, sure you weren't." Antonio chuckled as they walked onto the ship.

" Hola! Mi amigos .Where are you guys?" Antonio yelled once he got onto the ship. "Lovi take Ms. Alcia down to the cell I want her to meet the others. Well let me go find those idiots. Their doing something stupid right now I can feel it." he whispered the last part under his breath as he disappeared around the wall to the other side of the deck.
