Chapter 1- Italy

"You are so stupid fratello! Why can't you do anything right" Feliciano hears his brother's words repeat in his head.

"Stupid Italian. Hurry up! Go away" Now Ludwig's words run through his mind.

"Why am I so weak, and helpless. Why can't I do anything right?" Feliciano starts to remember all the times he messed up, surrendered, or got beaten in battle. "I should have dissolved a long time ago... Romano always should have been Italy. I am a bother to everyone... But not anymore. I won't bother anyone, or make mistakes ever again."

Feliciano clutches the silver blade in his hands. Hesitantly he puts it up to his skin, then he presses down and slides it down his arm. One by one he adds more; down and across his arms, legs, and stomach. He lays on his bed now covered in cuts. His tan olive skin is covered in his blood, and he slowly bleeds out and finally after all his suffering, he takes his last ragged breath.

Ludwig calls Feliciano's cellphone but he doesn't get an answer. " That's not like him, he always answers". After he tries calling him a few more times, without getting an answer he calls Romano.

"What do you want potato bastard?" Romano answers in his usual tone.

" I can't get a hold of Feli...have you seen him?"

"No, I haven't. Maybe he got tired of you."

"Romano zhis is serious"

"Okay fine...where do you think he could be?"

"I don't know I looked everywhere I could Zhink of"

"I can look at the house, i'm with Spain at the moment"

"I'm going too, meet me there in 10 minutes" They both hung up and drive to the house Romano and Feliciano share. They look in the kitchen, living room, and even Romano's room before they decided to check Feli's own room. Romano and Ludwig stood outside of his room and immediately they could tell something was very, very wrong. Romano turns the door handle slowly and opens the door slower. As soon as they could see inside, and saw Feli laying on his blood stained bed, and his lifeless body laying limp, Ludwig ran to his side.

"Feliciano wake up! Please wake up, zhis can't be real!" Ludwig shakes him and begs frantically for him to wake up. "Mein gott, you need to wake up I... I love you. Don't leave me, you can't." He cradles Feliciano's body and tears start to stream down his face.

The whole time Romano just stands there in the doorway too shocked to move. As it finally starts to hit him he falls to his knees and starts crying. How could his brother do this? How could he just leave, without any explanation or even a last note.

As the news spread to the other nations, they quickly realized how much Feliciano impacted their moods. Without Feliciano...nothing was ever the same. They couldn't even look at his old spot without crying. Ludwig didn't hardly ever leave his room, and he almost never, smiled again. Romano closed himself off more and only let his walls down for Spain, and he always broke into tears when he thinks of his twin brother.
