Hi there, for those who have read this story before but I decided to rewrite it. This time with more humor, hopefully. The beginning of this chapter will start in a very similar way as the other one. I am leaving the original story up for those who want to read it. If you have suggestions just leave it in a review and I will consider it. The first chapter is just a background for Anna and how she came to live with Germany. Please be constructive with your criticism. I aim to improve with each chapter if possible.

This will indicate thoughts.

Life with the Countries

Chapter One: Meeting Anna

Hi there, I am Anna Hunter. I am your typical 25 year old, though I still look 18. I have long blue-black hair and emerald green eyes. I am about 5'7" and according to some very beautiful. I don't really notice if I am or not. I am from a small town in the US. Oh and before I forget I am kind of like a half nation. What is a half nation? Well it is when a potential nation personification is born and raise in a human family. These people have the choice to become anything. Depending on where they are born. I have always been different growing up. I have incredible healing abilities, rarely sick, and stronger than a typical human. I of course had no clue what this meant till I met England on a school trip to England.

I was sixteen at the time and lost. During that a man approached me and knew right away what I was. Not that I knew that at the time. He helped me find my group again and disappeared. I didn't see him again for a few years after that.

When I was eighteen I went to Germany on a trip with my parents. I didn't meet the personification at that time, but during my visit I found that I loved the country itself far more than living in America. I took two years to be sure that I wanted to move to a whole another country. By this time my parents died in a car accident. I am still sad and miss them, but I couldn't stop my life just because they were gone. I moved on with my life and finally made the move. I found a hotel to stay at till I could complete the move.

I was just getting comfortable living in Germany when I met the personification himself. I was just walking in a nearby park one day when I bumped into a tall, blond haired German man. His expression was stern. I was in shock for a moment and then quickly went to apologize.

"I am sorry, sir," I had said quickly in German.

"It's fine. Are you okay?" The man responded back in German.

"Ja, I have to head home," I said in back in German about to walk away.

"Auf Wiedersehen (Good bye)," He had said continuing on his way.

I had thought nothing of this encounter and found an old crappy apartment to live in for the time being. I had no idea that encounter would soon lead me to meeting England again. I was starting to run into the German man almost every time I walked at the park after that and many times he was with an auburn haired man. These two seemed to be always running when I saw them. Once I had seen the Italian man try to take a break and the German man had just yelled "Get back to training!"

These two intrigued me. They were complete opposites and even when annoyed with the Italian he put up with him like a friend would. I wished at those moments that I wasn't such a loner all the time. The Italian man spotted me about three months after I moved. I started working in a small bookstore just weeks before this encounter.

"Ve, hello pretty lady," He said in such a charming voice.

"Uh, hi," I had said giving him a confused look.

Before he could say anything further the German man I ran into the first time I visited the park came running over yelling.

"FELICIANO, GET BACK TO TRAINING!"

"Ve, but I want to talk to this bella (beautiful)," the Italian had said in response.

"Oh, it is you," the German man had said recognizing the girl before him.

"Ve, you have met before?" the Italian had asked confused. "Is she your girlfriend?"

"Nein I am not dating him. I bumped into him a couple months ago," I had said clearing up the misunderstanding quickly.

"Ve, I am Feliciano. Who are you?" Feliciano had said to me smiling warmly.

"I am Anna," I had said confused to why I was still talking to him.

"I am Ludwig," the German man said introducing himself.

"It was nice to meet you," I said suddenly checking the time. "Shit, I need to go. I work in two hours!"

I had run off home after that. A few days later I saw the two again. This time even the German man was interested in talking to me more. I was polite and answered their questions. The German man, Ludwig, had a stern gaze and I had the feeling that he knew that something was different about me. I shook the feeling off. At the time I had no clue that I was talking to the personifications of Germany and North Italy. I found that out a few months later.

I started to spend my days off training with Ludwig and Feliciano to stay fit. I had started to build a friendship with the two very slowly. I told them all about my life in America and about my parents. After another three months pasted by I was hanging out in Ludwig's house on a day off. Suddenly there were sirens going down the road in the direction of my apartment.

My apartment building had caught fire thanks to some faulty wiring. Ludwig and Feli were supportive. Feli invited me to stay at Ludwig's house. I was about to refuse when Ludwig spoke up.

"You may stay here till you find a new place," Ludwig offered.

I took him up on his offer since there was not much else I could do at the time. All my money and important documents were with me so all I lost was the replaceable belongs. I was still building the money up for a better place by the time a year had past. During that time they reveled themselves as the personifications of Germany and North Italy. I had built enough trust with them by that point. (A/N: It will be present tense from now on)

It has been five years since I met Germany and Italy. We are close friends and often train together. I still live with him. I was going to move out, but each time I tried Feli managed to convince me to stay. Germany didn't seem to mind since I did my share of the work around the house. I actually became his sectary after the bookstore closed for good. The meetings are interesting. France is not a problem when your strength comes from being a former American citizen.

I found out about being a half nation during one of England's visits about three years ago. I asked him about my abilities since I was friends with him. He explained about the personifications and how sometimes someone like me is born. Most of the time, people like me don't develop these abilities. We usually live normal human lives. For some reason my abilities developed. This stumps all of us but I like the way I am so I don't really question it anymore. My adventures are only beginning. I have a feeling that I am in for one hell of a ride as my life continues among the countries.

Here is the first chapter of Life with the Countries (Rewritten). All chapters after this will not be in first person. This is only Anna's introduction and background. After this is going to hopefully funny chapters, suggestions are welcome.

Please review and don't be afraid to tell me what you think. All I ask for is no flames. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

If anyone wants to beta read this fanfiction just PM me. I want to make sure it stays funny.

Till next time,

Vamp out!
