Set Fire

Chapter One:

Nations In Terror

The world was gloomy. Not cheerful. Not even Feliciano cracked a smile or ran around playing with Cats or pretending to be a plane. Death was all around the world well through out the nations themselves. Someone had started to kill off nations. The first to be hit. In the morning of January 30th, at Hotel de' Paris. In room 164. The room to the left one across the hall from Arthur's room. They heard the noise and yelling at 16:30 (4:30). It was already too late. He had been hit too many times and lost too much blood. he was found on the floor, his own sword stabbed in his shoulder. Eleven months after that, Elizabeta was found in Hotel Van Deutschland, Room 895. Just at 17.15 pm (5.15). Once again she was found too late. She had been strangled. Ludwig and Gilbert automatically assumed it was Vladmir, since he hated both. However Vladimir was found nearly drained of power and blood, he was attacked but, as a vampire he stayed alive till some more gave him some more of his supply. They were stuck and only a few nations were brave enough to come out of their homes. They were meeting in Berlin, underground. Gilbert was looking over the list of people coming while ludwig was on the phone with Feliciano.

Only eight people out of the entire world was showing up. Romania said something about talking to bulgaria but, he never came anyways. Not even Alfred Jones would show up. They knew this was a risk. In case one of them were the killer. Gilbert exhaled before taking a seat. The door opened and a girl with platinum blonde hair, almost silver, like his with grey eyes and fair skin. She wore a black leather dress with leggings underneath. She carried a satchel and put her stuff down at the end of the table beside her chair. Gilbert looked at the list. No where was the name Idetta on the list. "What the hell are you doing here?" Gilbert asked. "She's the detective that's coming in." Ludwig replied. "How did you know where to go without -" Suddenly Vladimir came walking in through the doors and through his arm around her waist from behind. he put his head on her shoulder. "I told you not to run off." He whinned. She chuckled. "Vlad, I told you if you didn't hurry up then i was going to go ahead." She replied. Then Arthur walked in. "Thank god your not snogging him now." Arthur added. Vladimir let go of her and went to shake Gilbert's and Ludwig's hands. Idetta walked over arthur and hugged him and talked for a little bit till Ivan came in and she ran to hug him. They waited for the others. Lovino walked in, with no emotion. Ludwig walked towards him. "Thank you for-" "Don't thank me yet, Potato bastard." He cursed. Then Matthew walked in. "I'm really proud of you for doing this but, have you heard from your brother?" Arthur asked. "I'm worried about him. I went to his house and the whole place was boarded up and he had six locks on his front door." Matthew replied. "I know we don't have the best relationship but,-" "Arthur, I'm use to it. My own father didn't even notice me sometimes but, you helped me at times and that's what counts." He cut him off. Then they all sat down. Gilbert at one end next to Arthur, who was across from Matthew who sat next to russia and Idetta, next to Romania, across from Gilbert. Ludwig stood up. "There's a killer out there and they could be in this very room but, we have to be brave and end this. For Tim and Elizabeta." Ludwig began. Everyone swallowed hard. Then they passed the pictures out. "Tim was found at 16:30 am?" Idetta asked. "Ja." Ludwig responded. "and elizabeta was found at 17:15 pm, eleven months after tim in room 895?" she asked. "yes." Arthur nodded. "We are all horrible minds." Rodrich held his head in his palms. "What is it?" Lovino asked. "they're connected by treaties." Idetta replied. "She signed a treaty with Tim in November." Rodrich added. "When?" Arthur asked. " The year 17:15." he replied. "You guys were married by then so that means-" "I'm next." he replied. "This is not happening!" Arthur yelled. "oh no." Matthew muttered. "Fuck." Lovino said. Ivan was quite. "Are you kidding me?" Vladimir asked. "EVERYONE CALM DOWN!" Ludwig yelled as the clock hit 17:56(5:56 am). "I am getting out of here before you get me killed!" Lovino stood up. "Don't go." Arthur warned. "Shut it!" Lovino yelled as he grabbed the door knob. He swung the door opened and a gun went off four times. Lovino fell back motionless on the floor, in a pool of blood. "Not again!" Gilbert yelled. They heard running and Idetta went running. 'Idetta no!" Vladmir yelled. Idetta pulled her gun out and shot twice before she walked back. "They got away." she growled. "Don't do that again." He scolded. Ivan looked at Lovino's body and looked at his wounds. 'Arthur hand me a pin." He held his hand out. Arthur handed it to him and Ivan stuck the pin in his wound and pulled out a silver bullet. "I bet that was meant for Vladimir." He said. "This is going to far." Gilbert added. "we need to ask the others if they know anything." Ludwig informed. "agreed." they all said.
