Matthew gave a sigh as he sat on the edge of the bench at the busy train station, he was sat close by to his three older brothers. Arthur, Francis and Alfred. They were being relocated from their current home in France, they were all staying other at Francis's house when a war had begun shortly after they arrived. As soon as they heard the news they all knew that they had to flee for their own safety. Now they were all sat waiting at a train station in Paris, waiting for a train which would be taking them to Switzerland where they would be staying until it was all over.

Pushing his glasses up Matthew stayed close to Arthur all of them were tense and on edge. "What do you think it will be like there?" He asked quietly almost not being able to be heard, over the busy noise of the train station.

"I don't know to be honest Matthew, But I hope it will be quiet where were going." Arthur replied to him softly knowing that his younger brother would want comfort, he knew that he wasn't use to being in loud crowded area because he would spend so much time on his own or one to one with others in quiet areas such as libraries or forests.

Matthew nodded silently just as the loud whistle of a steam train could be heard, Matthew looked up at see a large black steam train.

"That's our train." Francis said as he stood up picking up his suitcase the others did the same as they all walked over to the train. Matthew held onto Arthurs arm so that they wouldn't get lost.

Shortly they were all cramped into a small train carriage.

"Well, this isn't as pleasant as I hoped it would be." Francis said blankly.

"Hey, at least were all together!" Alfred said trying to sound enthusiastic to lighten the mood up.

"Yeah…Alfred is right!" Matthew smiled as he looked out of the window as the train set off.

As he looked out of it he could see loads of people crying and waving at the train as it left the station, he assumed that it was family's waving goodbye the their children who are being relocated as well.

He sighed as he tucked his head in-between his knees , he was scared and didn't know what to do. He decided that his own comfort would be the best thing for himself. Closing his eyes as he began to fall asleep, he knew that the train journey would be long but knew that if he fell asleep it would at least seem shorter if he was asleep even for an hour or so. He leaned against Arthur as he slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

A few hour later he was awoken by a light shaking, he sat up rubbing his eye looking around to see who it was. Alfred who was sat opposite him was giving him a shake to wake him up. He couldn't see Arthur or Francis in the room.

"They're getting us our luggage from the back cart, were almost at our stop" Alfred said with a half smile.

Matthew nodded as he looked out of the windows, he could now see mountains covered in snow.

"Do you know who were staying with?" He asked Alfred quietly, he was curious about who they would be staying with, he was hoping at the least that they would be nice.

"Well If I'm correct we will be staying with someone called Basch Zwingli, If I was you I wouldn't worry about it! You've got your big brother here who will protect you!" He grinned putting his arm around his brothers neck ,brining him into a bro hug as he chuckled.

"Hey, careful that hurts!" Matthew giggled slightly. As obnoxious as Alfred was he did like his older brother despite not actually being noticed by him very often.

Shortly Arthur and Francis walked back into the cart, carrying two large suitcases each.

"Were nearly at our location, we will be getting picked up from the station by a local farmer who will take us to where we are staying. Understood?" Arthur asked the two brothers as he sat back down onto the seat next to Matthew.

Matthew gave a small nod to show that he understood.

"Alright then, that sounds like a plan." Alfred grinned giving a light thumbs up trying to keep the mood up.

"Alright Alfred, there's no need to be so happy, save it until we get to the house; where were not so confided." Arthur said sternly making ,sure to keep Alfred under control while they were on the train ; he didn't want him to start making a fuss from being still for too long.

"Hey, It looks like we've arrived at our destination." Francis said looking out of the window.
