I don't own Hetalia.

Warning: AU, fem!Canada in a 2p! world.

A small, lithe body huddled alone in the darkness, trying to preserve what little warmth was left in the frigid cage.

The young girl shivered; wrapping her pale arms around herself tighter as she felt a strong breeze leak through the slightly open window.

Why, her captor let the thing open, she didn't know.

Maybe to add even more misery to her already hopelessly long list.

She was tired, hungry, and sore all over. Not to mention freezing cold, thanks to the sudden change in weather.

The girl shifted in the cramped cage; it was horribly small.

Fatigue taking over, she attempted to close her baggy, violet eyes; only to pry them open again with pale, bruised fingers.

She couldn't sleep; that man would just come back and haunt her nightmares again.

That man.

The young teen felt her eyes glaze over with unshed tears as she thought about her kidnapper; how he snatched her away that day.

She remembered the screams...oh God, the screams...

Everything happened so fast; strong, calloused hands grabbing her waist and shoving her into a thick brown bag; carelessly tossing her into the trunk of his car like a sack of potatoes. And then, nothing.

She hastily wiped the tears away; she couldn't cry, not now.

The girl refused to show any sign of weakness to that bastard.

All of a sudden, the rusted door slammed open, and a figure sauntered in, walking over to the painfully tiny cage she was stuffed inside.

Speak of the devil.

Bright blue orbs, pink swirling madly inside, locked on her.

She saw full lips curl into a grin, and watched, heart thumping in her chest, as the man leaned over, freckled face pressed against the bars of her prison.

"Hello, Madeline."

The girl just shut her eyes and prayed.

Hope you enjoyed!

I plan to have lots of EngCan/MapleTea in this...so be prepared...:P I may have some side pairings as well, but I still have to decide on what they will be.
