A man walked through the town, getting ready to board the train to return home. The man was pale, with eyes almost the colour of violet. His hair was such a pale blonde, and he wore a scarf around his neck. A long trench coat covered his figure and gloves his hands. He looked as if he was prepared for full out winter.
He was by the name of Ivan, and represented the country Russia.
But as Russia was passing the train station, he saw two beggar girls. One, who appeared to be the youngest, had pale white hair that looked unnatural on her skin, which was tan and was possibly Chinese or Russian, probably both. Her eyes were pale blue, almost white also, as if she was blind. It was obvious she wasn't, because her eyes looked at Russia when he neared them.
The other girl, who looked the oldest, had even more unnatural hair, which was long and green. It was natural to her however, appearing to be too soft to be dyed. Her eyes were gold, and was a sickly pale. She shifted nervously when Russia looked at her.
Russia approached them and the white haired girl said instantly:
"騰出一些變化？" she begged.
"Spare some change?" A voice instantly translated into Russian.
Russia looked at the person where the voice came from, from another girl he didn't see. A girl with light brown hair, the only one with hair that looked normal, and was braided down her back. Her eyes were bright blue, like Germany's or Sweden's, with freckles that bridged her nose.
The Russian man nearly snuffed the girl's, but then looked at them closer, and he realized how young they were. The eldest was probably 17, and the middle 15, the youngest... probably 14.
"You are children, no? Where are your families?" Ivan questioned. He nodded; understanding as the girls fell silent, refusing to look the unknown man in the eyes.
"你想要什麼？" The white hair girl said.
"What do you want?" The green hard girl said.
"Can the girl not speak Russian?"
"I fine speak Russian, no? I understand." The brown haired girl flinched at the horrible Russian said by the white.
The girls, were so young. They were his people, and even with the Baltics around, it was still lonely because they were terrified of him. Maybe...
"You are orphans no? Starving? Cold?" Russia realized after he said that he sounded like a creep. "You children will die if you don't do something, why don't you come live with me?"
"我不知道..." the white hair girl said softly.
"Tell me your names, I am Ivan." He decided it was best to tell them he was just Ivan, not the representation of the country of Russia.
"I am Aella, this is...Sobstvennost." the brown haired girl motioned towards the white.
"That means property, or ownership-" Ivan stated.
"To her it sounds like you're just saying her name multiple times." Aella started talking faster to Ivan, Sobstvennost not being able to keep up. "She doesn't know what her name means in Chinese."
"I don't want to call her Sobstvennost. I shall call you Soso~" He said cheerfully. Sobstvennost smiled weakly, not sure what had been said.
"I am Senikal. Pleased to meet your acquaintance, Ivan. If you are really willingly to take us in, we would be most grateful." The green haired girl said, standing tall.
"我無法弄清楚這是怎麼回事！" Sobstvennost cried, not knowing what was going on. Both girls hushed her.
"I'm not sure if we should trust you..." Aella said cautiously.
"I swear on my mother's oak tree that I will not hurt you." Ivan raised his right hand while saying the oath.
"Well, he seems trustworthy! Let's go!" Senikal bounced up with excitement. The other two girls looked cautiously at each other. But they both understood that they really had nothing better planned.
"Fine. We'll go." Aella said softly, speaking for Sobstvennost.
"Great! We get to ride a train to Moscow!" Ivan said cheerfully.
"真的！我愛火車！" Sobstvennost cheered.
"Did she say she like them?" Ivan asked the other two, they both nodded. "Yay~ I'll have to get three more tickets, the train stations not far from here." Ivan looked around. Sobstvennost, with the mention of trains caused her to latch around Ivan's waist. Ivan didn't seem to mind, however.
"Sobstvennost! Don't get the man dirty!" Senikal scolded. Sobstvennost look down sadly before letting go.
"I sorry." She said softly, Ivan patted her head.
"It's fine. I don't care." Ivan smiled at her, and she latched onto him again.
"The train station is this way." Senikal motioned towards Ivan, directing him towards the train station. Ivan then got passes for them and they boarded the train.
"那麼，什麼是喜歡你的房子？這是大嗎？是那該多好？還有誰？他們很高興嗎？" Sobstvennost asked multiple questions. Ivan sat down and turned to Aella.
Aella sighed. "What is your house like, first question."
"Oh, well it is a very big and nice house! I think you guys will like it a lot. I have four servants, and two sisters... Except I don't see much of my big sister. I forbid my little sister from my house... So it's just me and my servants..." Ivan sounded sort of sad. "What were the other questions?"
Aella chuckled nervously for a moment. "You answered her questions in that statm-"
"你有公務員嗎？" Sobstvennost sat on her knees on the seat next to Russia, clutching his arm.
"他只是回答說。" Aella said back, glaring.
Russia turned Senikal she sighed.
"Um, Sobstvennost asked if you had servants and Aella told her you just said that."
"Oh yes! They are very good servants! They do whatever I say and never complain... they know what happens if they complain." Ivan said cheerfully. Aella grinned while Senikal eyes widened. Sobstvennost wasn't listening. Actually, she was fast asleep. Aella shuffled over and sat next to Sobstvennost. Senikal was rather distracted staring out the window.
"Who are they?"
"Hmm?" Ivan turned towards the girl.
"The servants, who are they?" She asked again.
"Well, one is an East German man named, um, Gilbert. And then the others are from the Baltic states, do you know wher-"
"Yes I know where they are." She quickly said.
"Um, Toris is from Lithuania, Eduard from Estonia- hey! They both start with E's!- and Raivis from Latvia!" Ivan smiled.
"Oh, that's nice." Aella yawned. She leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes, relaxing. It wasn't long before she fell asleep. Senikal never fell asleep, Ivan unnerved her, and she didn't want to fall asleep.
"We will be arriving in Moscow in five minutes." Sobstvennost jerked awake.
"哦耶！多麼令人興奮！" She squealed.
"Calm down!" Senikal playfully smacked Sobstvennost. "Wake up Aella!" Aella opened her eyes slowly.
"I wasn't asleep." She glared. Then stood up, turning to Ivan.
"Oh, come. My home isn't far from the train station. I have to make business trips around Europe and Asia, so I might leave randomly. But if you need anything, you can ask a servant. If something isn't satisfactory, you can tell me, and I'll take care of it. There is no need to be shy!" Ivan cheered. "But first you'll need new clothes. I'm sure my sister has some old ones till I can get some new ones."
"Ivan, please, no, you have already done us enough kindness-" Senikal said.
"It would insult me if you did not accept, so please, accept." Ivan began walking down a path, leading up to a huge mansion.
"Home is big, yes?" Sobstvennost said with awe, the others were silent, the house being more than they expected.
Ivan opened the door, and the three girls followed close behind. Russia saw Lithuania walking around the corner and quickly ran to him.
"Go by human names, make some tea, and have the other Baltics meet in the living room. Got it?" Ivan said quickly.
"G-gah! You startled me! Ah, I g-got it." Lithuania stuttered, before running off.
"Oh girls~ lets go in the living room, follow me~" Ivan said happily. The girls were entranced by the beautiful artwork that adorned the walls and ceilings. Hearing Ivan's voice, they followed him into which was the living room. A plush green couch was in the center with several vases with faux sunflowers in them. A mahogany table sat in front of the green couch, a matryoshka doll sitting on top of a lace cloth.
The girls sat on the couch, sitting close to one another, unknowing what was to happen next.
At that time, Lithuania quickly gathered Estonia and Latvia and told them to go to the living room while he made tea, but the other two men didn't want to go in alone, so they waited until Lithuania was done.
"Oh, we have guests..." Toris said softly.
"Good thing you made a lot of tea, right?" Raivis chuckled nervously.
"Um, sir, I made the tea like you ask." Lithuania spoke up.
"Well, serve it!" Russia ushered Lithuania over to the table. "My Baltic sla-eeeeervants... I want you to meet Senikal, Aella, and Soso. I want each of you to obey the girl I tell you too. Toris, Aella. Eduard, Soso. Raivis, Senikal. Got it?" the trio quickly nodded.
"你是愛德華？" Sobstvennost asked Eduard.
"Um, excuse me? I do not understand..." Eduard raised his eyebrows.
"恩 ..um.. Eduard, you are?" She asked again, this time in Russian.
"Oh, yes. I am he." Eduard said matter of factly, Sobstvennost grinned and latched on to him in a similar fashion she did with Russia.
"礦井。 "'mine', she claimed, grinning.
"Er, yeah. Let's get you cleaned up." Eduard ushered her out of the room. He turned to Russia "Что вы делаете?"
"Eduard. You know we don't speak English in this house. I am up to nothing." Russia grinned.
Sobstvennost left the room with Eduard, but other two girls were feeling quite awkward.
Aella was just quiet, turning to look at Lithuania. Senikal smiled at the young boy, feeling kind of bad for him, seeing he was younger than her. Russia just had that creepy smile on his face.
"I have paperwork to do. I will see you at dinner. I have to find Pr- uh, Gilbert. I wonder if I can get him to cook..." Russia said, the last part more to himself, leaving the room himself.
There was an incredibly awkward silence in the room. The girls weren't used to commanding people and really didn't know how to do it. Lithuania shifted awkwardly while Latvia began shaking.
Senikal was first to speak up. She stood up and said, "Um, I would like to take a bath please." Aella nodded in agreement.
"Oh yes! That reminds me! Give them some of Belaru-Natalia's clothes, if they don't fit I'm sure big sister won't mind if you use hers." Ivan peeked around the corner, before going back to whatever he was doing.
"Um, ah... Ok!" Lithuania said. "I-I'll draw your bath Mistress Aella. Raivis?"
"Huh? O-oh yes. I shall do the same." He stuttered.
The girls smiled weakly at each other, both following a different Baltic.
The bath felt so relaxing to each girl, except Sobstvennost, who somehow decided to try and swim. Mainly playing instead of trying to actually get herself clean.
Senikal was given a long flowy white dress that went down to her ankles, making her dark green hair pop out more, her hair in a tight ponytail. Sobstvennost stood in a high collared mahogany coloured dress, part of her hair pulled up into high pigtails, the back flowing freely. Aella was dressed in one of Ukraine's tops, her chest being too big for one of Belarus'. A ruffled white blouse with a long lavender skirt, her hair was braided once more down her back.
"Um, M-mistress Senikal" Raivis stuttered. "I am to tell you d-dinner is ready."
"Oh, um, thank you Raivis. Let's go eat!" She told the other two, the other two Baltics looked at each other and went to the kitchen.
"Be on your best behavior Sobstvennost!" Senikal scolded the girl who pouted.
"I best behavior." she grumbled.
"Aella, smack her if she isn't and I'm not next to her." Senikal said. Aella grinned and nodded.
Senikal took a deep breath. "Okay, let's go."
They went into the dining room, and sat down.
Yeah. So I'm practising with OC's since I tend to suck at them.
The story itself is in Russian, so when English is spoken, it will be read as Russian to the viewer to give the sense of foreign feel.
I hope you enjoyed.
