Hi there! This story is my comeback from an uncreative spell so since it's been a while since I've written anything I feel like this story isn't the best, but I really felt like uploading something! So constructive criticism is wanted! Anyways I want to say thank you for reading my story and I hope you enjoy!
Hetalia is not mine, neither is Nyotalia!
"Arthur! Arthur pwease don't weave!"
"Heh…Sorry love, I don't know how to weave"
"Don't make fun! Don't go!"
"I have to. I'm sorry."
A warm hug and the world was cold again.
"Goodbye Amelia."
Eyes flew open and a loud gasp filled the room as a young woman was torn away from her dream. She gasped for breath, although her nightmare wasn't full of terror at all, but a painful memory.
Young Amelia Jones gazed about her small room to try and ease her mind, but she had once again felt pain at her friends leaving. What pained her more was that everyone said that he died.
She laid back down and tried to get her heart rate normal again, "Amie?" blue eyes focused at a crouched figure in the doorway.
Arms went open as Amelia's younger sister embraced her. Amelia stroked her hair and nodded, "Yeah….?" Her voice was hoarse as she tried to shake off the dream and felt silly, she was barely a child when he left but she felt so attached to the memory of him.
She pulled away from her sister and noticed the lack of sleep in her purple eyes, "What are you still doing up Maddie?" The question made the young girl lightly blush as she clung to her, "Rumors of pirates…"
Amelia almost laughed, "Pirates? That's what has you all scared? Oh come on…The hero is here and I definitely wouldn't let any filthy sea rat's hands even touch you!" She beamed down at the girl only to see her sister's eyes roll in annoyance, "That must so be the reason why no pirates have been here before."
The two shared a good laugh and Amelia moved over so that her bed would fit them both. Silence had begun to morph with sleep when her sister muttered, "I was serious…"
Amelia held her close, her gaze was blank and she whispered back, "I know Maddie. So was I."
The sea, blue and wild and beautiful. It was the place Amelia loved to sit by when she had problems. The roaring of the waves would match her heartbeat and could calm her within minutes. Maddie had constantly joked that Amelia loved the sea so much because it was the color of her eyes.
Amelia was walking through town, a little absent minded, thinking about the crashing water when she ran roughly into someone. "Ouch!" she said and she heard a man in a thick accent, "Geez, watch where the hell you're going kid!"
She didn't even look at him before speaking, "How about you watch it!" If she hadn't been so confident in her strength her glare would have faltered. The man was tall and had extremely pale skin, which wasn't uncommon but he also had white hair and demonic red eyes.
The eyes were full of humor as he cackled "Kesese! You got spunk kid! I'll let you off today." He went around her before Amelia could retort. She sent a glare before continuing her walking, her thoughts on the strange man 'could be a witch' she thought, having never seen anyone like him before.
There seemed to be a lot more people here today and Amelia had a little harder time getter to the stands she needed to. She wasn't in a rush today so she was able to people watch and noticed there were a good few foreigners today which meant the docks would be packed.
A thought suddenly went through her mind, what if she stowed away on one of the ships, going out to sea, and seeing the world! She quickly shook her head, allowing her short hair to graze her face. She couldn't just leave Maddie all alone.
Lost in her thoughts she never noticed a blond male come up to her, "Excuse me, mademoiselle." A light French accent spoke and she looked up to see a man with shoulder length blond hair, complete with beard, and smoldering blue eyes, "I was just wondering why a lovely young lady is sitting all by herself~?"
Amelia tried to remain calm, she was used to being hit on by guys, not that he wasn't attractive but she wasn't interested so she smiled and let out a high pitched giggle, "Oh, I'm just waiting for my husband. He went into the blacksmith not too long ago, so he should be back soon."
The Frenchman looked slightly taken aback and then confused before smiling back at her, "As long as you are safe, sotte. A bientôt." He bowed and took his leave leaving Amelia to feel a little smug.
A few hours passed before Amelia had finished her shopping, she would have finished sooner but she had stopped to have a chat with a couple friends of hers who owned a small food shop and had been talked into being their guinea pig for a new tomato sauce, which had been quite delicious.
As she walked outside of town she allowed herself to take a detour along the water, watching the sun dance upon its surface. She felt almost jealous as she stared at the sunset until she could see the moon take its place in the sky.
Feeling refreshed and happy Amelia walked home and walked inside. She cursed lightly in the dark, wondering why Maddie hadn't lit any candles, "Maddie!" she called out, "I'm home!" she navigated her way into the kitchen but heard nothing.
She frowned and began to get worried; Maddie was terrified of the dark so she wouldn't be walking around…but the dark house meant she wasn't here. 'Did she leave earlier?' she wondered as she walked over to the window she could she a tiny dot of light that was the village, and really hoped she didn't have to run back over there to get her sister and a loud noise blasted through the sky.
Amelia felt her heart race as she recognized the sound of a cannon and even from here she could hear screams. She ran from the window and through the unlocked door, thinking of only one thing: Pirates!
Within ten minutes Amelia had made it to the outskirts of town and she could see some houses on fire, but no dead bodies. She moved in the darkness and hid behind buildings, but could not find any sign of life until she found the village square.
Shock and fear ran through her when she saw everyone there, bound as the pirates carried their belongings onto a giant ship she could barely see over the flames and smoke. She focused in on one person in the crowd with blond hair and was shivering.
All the crew members were the strangers she saw today and she felt so stupid that it never crossed her mind that it wasn't coincidental.
"Listen up prisoners!" she recognized that voice and she snuck a glance to see the cocky white haired man. "Some of you are going to be very lucky….and will be coming with us."
Yells were heard before gunshots filled the air, but he still had the deadly smirk, "I know you all want to come…We're very famous pirates after all. Kesesese!"
"If anyone fights…they'll be killed, oui?" the French pervert from before called out as he polished his sword and Amelia knew the people would give in, they were scared.
Amelia couldn't do anything as she watched her friends be forced up, tears on the younger twin as the older called out profanities. A couple other people were pulled up and it looked like they were about to leave when the white haired man walked over to Maddie, "You're mine now little girl." And he roughly pulled her up.
Blood boiling she flew out of her hiding spot, throwing a large rock she had found on the ground, "Let go of her, you freak!" she felt fearful eyes on her but she only glared at the dead man holding her sister.
He had easily dodged the rock and was gazing at her, "Ah, you're the feisty brat from before. Kesese. You must want really want to die, testing an awesome pirate." She heard other weapons being drawn and Amelia realized her mistake, but she couldn't let it show, confidence could change this deadly game, "The only dead person I see is you, for placing your filthy hands on my sister."
The man grinned wider at her, "Excellent. I haven't killed in forever." He dropped Maddie before drawing a long sword and pointing it at her, "Sterben kleine Nervensäge!" he shouted before lunging at her.
She hadn't a weapon on her but as long as she was able to dodge she'd be okay, but Amelia knew that avoiding wouldn't save her. Her plans weren't always the best but she needed one right now. The other pirates were just standing around, laughing at the girl's foolishness for messing with the man and Amelia noticed how relaxed they were. Quickly as she dodged a slash she grabbed the Frenchman's sword and roughly pushed him away, swinging just in time to finally block his attack.
"Kese…you're strong. For a little girl." He cackled before pushing her back, his blade cutting along her stomach. It was a small graze so Amelia ignored it as she began to take the offense. Their fighting went on before the cocky grin disappeared and he looked angry, "Enoguh fun." And with a quick movement he knocked the sword out of her hands and the felt the point of the blade stab into her neck lightly, "any last words….?"
Amelia was ready to go out with a snarky comment when slow clapping was heard. All the other pirates turned to attention, "Brilliant show Gilbert, beating a little girl." She saw his gaze turn back to a cocky look, "As if you could do any better, Captain."
He lowered his weapon and walked away from her. And Amelia was ready to give the Captain a piece of her mind and her foot up his ass when she could only stop and stare in shock at the figure in front of her. Tears welled up in her eyes, "y-you…" she breathed out as she stared into amused emerald eyes.
"I'm back, love. Did you miss me?"
