Alfred was impatient for the meeting to begin.
With a twitching hand, he pushed up his glasses with his index finger and gazed around the room, allowing his blue eyes to absorb every detail. The ones who were present were all sitting at the table, chatting away the hours, waiting for everyone else to come by. Yao was scolding at Im Yong Soo, the young South Korean man, for trying to take Kiku's, the older Japanese man behind the two of them, sushi originality away from him. Francis, the handsome, young blonde French man, was flirting with Seychelles, a rather dark-skinned African island girl who was not fond of the French man's words. Tino, the Finnish blonde man, was having a cheery conversation with Antonio, a rather cheery Spaniard.
Arthur, a young Englishman, was sitting on the far side of the table, drinking tea and reading a Euros magazine. Alfred wasn't sure if his former guardian/big brother would care what he had to say, but he was almost certain that, despite Arthur's rather foul personality, he would at least try to comfort Alfred into thinking that everything was going to be alright after the meeting. Even so, there was going to be a catch somewhere in his words, maybe some sarcastic retort for what Alfred had said, but that was Arthur for you. Sitting next to Arthur, was a bubbling Italian. Feliciano was drawing on a napkin that was given to him when he was eating the food they sent out while waiting. Overlooking Feliciano's shoulder was Lovino, Feliciano's hateful twin brother. His amber eyes were not focused on his brother's sketches. Instead, they seemed to be threatening a certain German man across from the two of them.
Ludwig's arms were crossed and his head was bent down, looking at the glass table. His napkin, unlike Feliciano's, was bare and white. He didn't seem to notice Lovino's stare, but he looked at Feliciano with an annoyed expression that suggests that the Italian did something he wasn't supposed to. Matthias, a young Dane, was having a skirmish with Lukas, a Scandinavian from Norway. Berwald was blankly looking at the wall in front of him while Emil, from Iceland, was feeding his puffin. Ivan was threatening Ravis, who had just insulted him once again. Eduard, a mature, young man from Estonia, was shaking with fear next to the two of them. Toris, who coincidentally came from Lithuania, was simply nodding his head to all of Ivan's threats. Natalia, a beautiful, yet fearful girl from Belarus, was standing behind her big brother, Ivan, who came from Russia. Katyusha, a rather big-chested girl from Ukraine, was sitting on a chair near the little group of people, not partaking in its content.
Matthew, Alfred's quiet twin brother from Canada, was sitting next to him with a polar bear cub in his lap. He seemed to be smiling at the noise level of the room, though some of the countries weren't there. There was Roderich from Austria, Elizabeta from Hungary, Gilbert from Prussia (though that country cease to exist), Bella from Belgium, Netherlands, Lilli from Liechtenstein, Vash from Switzerland, and Hercules of Greece, who were not present at the time being. They were all missing, yet Alfred couldn't do anything at all to find them. He couldn't leave the meeting room until the meeting came to an actual end, and it never even began.
Alfred tapped his fingers on the cool glass table with impatience, feeling a cold dread seep into his body. Where were they? It wasn't like any of them to be late to the meeting, except for maybe Hercules, but he's usually never this late. Vash is usually the first one here, along with Lilli, his younger sister. Roderich and Elizabeta would have come behind Ludwig not too long ago, and Gilbert would have been busy trying to find beer within the fridge. Every time though, Gilbert would have found nothing and came to the meeting in a rather disappointed mood, but not for very long. Alfred gave a heavy sigh.
Then, a loud crash came from outside the door, yelling voices erupted in panic as a gun blast resonated from its source. Everyone within the meeting room hushed up and gazed frightfully at the entrance to the room, a big dark-wood door that seems to be the size of a garage. Alfred could hear nothing from anyone, not even from Feliciano. After a few heavy moments of silence, the big doors swung open and came inside the group of missing people.
Vash was holding his rifle, the possible weapon that rang clear from the noises outside. Lilli looked almost petrified, as if she witnessed a terrible crime that she got blamed for. Roderich and Gilbert appeared to be neither harmed nor scared, but they seemed to be tense. Elizabeta's face was emotionless, almost as if she has taken Kiku's face and made it her own. Bella and Netherlands had their eyes on the door, keeping watch for whatever has taken place and Hercules appears to be awake for once. No one said anything for a long time.
Alfred felt the stifling silence to be almost unbearable. It has never been this quiet before. The last time it was this silent, was when WW2 broke out, and that wasn't like this. This silence suggests that the threat didn't pass by, and if you made a wrong move or say a wrong word, it could mean the end. It was also so quiet that he could make out the faint sounds of beating hearts, or was that his imagination? He silently gazed at all the faces, the looks they gave the group. Yao, Im Yong Soo, and Kiku had the calmest faces out of the room, though that wasn't saying much. Francis looked like he wanted to hide under the table, though Alfred wondered what good that will do for the French man. Arthur, Feliciano, Lovino, and Ludwig gave an intense stare at the group of countries that just entered. Matthias, Lukas, Emil, Berwald, and Tino all huddled up in their own little group and kept each and every one of them in sight of each other. Ivan, Natalia, and Katyusha all seemed to be staring at the hallway behind the group of people, as if reinforcing Bella and Netherland's watch. Ravis, Eduard, and Toris were trembling madly, though they appeared to be more out of shock than anything else. Matthew had a tense frown on his face as he gazed at the doors. All the other countries appeared to be scared, tense, calm, or emotionless.
There was another long moment of silence, until it almost felt like a whole 2 hours. Then, Vash cleared his throat, relieving the burdened quietness of the room, though what he said, made Alfred less relieved.
"Alfred, it's time for Project: Before Sunrise."
OMG, I left you on a cliff-hanger on the first chapter, Darn me! Sorry, if it was short, but I thought the cliff-hanger was just awesome. Reviews are the cure for my current coughing...
