Prussia gave Hungary a kiss goodbye and looked at her sadly.
"Vhat is it Gilbert?" Hungary asked confused.
"Vell as awesome as I am I might not come back for a vhile. I have to...vell...I have to make sure Germany wins...but," Prussia said sadly as his yellow bird flew around.
"But?" Hungary asked looking at her red eyed boyfriend.
"But...vhen Germany vins I'm no longer a country...no longer needed. I don't know vhat vill happen and I'm sorry if-" Prussia explained only to be cut off by sirens going off.
"Prussia! Ze enemy is approaching!" Germany yelled. Prussia slowly walked away breaking his hand away from Hungary's.
"I have to go." Prussia said with his usual smirk, "Bye chick!" Prussia called out laughing. hungary wanted to go and help, but had problems of her own. Hungary ran back to her awaiting battle.
"Hey! Where's your red eyed boyfriend?!" Turkey asked mockingly.
"Shut-up Turkey! I'm vinning zis battle!" Hungary yelled running at Turkey with her pan raised. Hungary woke up in her bed and screamed.
"PRUSSIA!" She yelled as her body shot up in a cold sweat. hungary looked at her clock that read 4:35am, "It vas just a dream." romano came running into the room.
"Are you alright!?" He bursted out. Romano calmed down once he saw she was okay, but she started crying. romano held Hungary close and stroked her hair.
"It vas ze same dream again." Hungary said crying.
"I know." Romano said calmly.
"Only if it really was a nightmear...and not...reality." Hungary stated as she remembered Prussia leaving. Romano remained holding her and slowly pushed away.
"Get some rest. We have another meeting tomorrow." Romano got up and turned for the door, but Hungary grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"Can you stay?" Elizavetta asked as she dried her eyes. Romano nodded his head and lay on top of her blankets wrapping his arm around her waist. Elizavetta intertwined her fingers with Lovino's and fell asleep feeling the warmth of his body next to her's.
A few days later Elizavetta was followed by her terrifying memories every night. Each night different then the other showing her past with her friends that fell apart. Hungary remained rolling in her bed crying in her sleep...
"Prussia?" Hungary asked Germany.
"No." Germany sadly said, "Just follow me." Germany showed Hungary to a dark room and she heard an all to familiar laugh.
"Keseseseses! I'm still here Luddy! HA! STILL HERE!" The mad prussian yelled from a closed off room. Germany un-bolted a small piece of metal and opened the door. Hungary entered the room cautiously looking for Prussia. Hungary walked in the faded light and saw a tied up albino quietly laughing. Germany watched from a distance with his gun ready.
"Ahh. So you brought me a chick huh? Huh Luddy?" Prussia asked coldly.
"G-Gilbert?" hungary asked nervously seeing Prussia's head tilted to the floor.
"I killed...I saved...heh...vhat's the difference? Zey killed my lover and now I'm nothing." Prussia explained as he looked down further.
"Your lover is right here Gilbert." Germany said quietly.
"Nein...she's dead! I saw it happen! He killed her!" The prussian yelled angrily shaking the chair he was tied in and jerking his head up to the woman standing in front of him. His eyes widened in fear seeing the young woman before him.
"NIEN! NIEN! NIEN! I saw you die! Russia killed you! Russia's here! I'll kill you! You imposter took my love! Ich hasse dich! I hate you!" Prussia screamed insanely moving his chair violently. Hungary ran out of the room crying. Hungary woke up and screamed again.
"NO!" She screamed shaking furiously. Romano came in once again and comforted his girlfriend as she cried into his shirt.
Seven years went by with Hungary forgetting her past and ignoring her feelings for her best friend. She never visited Gilbert since that day and she never regretted it. Romano was there to comfort her the whole time during her breakdowns and she loved him for that's. Romano became closer to Hungary and protected her no matter what. Italy screamed his brother's name as he ran into Romano's house.
"Frettello Ms. Hungary needs help!" Italy yelled. Romano sprinted out his door towards the only battle field he knows.
"Elizavetta!" Romano yelled in fear as he ran through the woods into the battle field only to see a three way battle! Everyone was hurting each other no one had an alliance, so it seemed. Hungary fought against Prussia and Austria's armies, but not seeing Prussia or Austria themselves...just..their soldiers. Romano ran to the battle field armed with two guns and his fists. Romano jumped into a tree hiding from the rest of the battle field looking around making sure nobody noticed him, but when he looked up he found his dearest Elizavetta lying on the ground gasping for air! Romano jumped down the tree and ran full force only to be grabbed by an austrian and a prussian!
"Let me go you *******." Romano bursted out angrily as he tried to run free to help his Liza.
"Keseseseses! Ha! I'll destroy ze imposter!" Prussia yelled insanely.
"I will destroy you before you destroy her!" The Austrian yelled at the mad Albino.
"Shut-up and let her go!" Romano yelled angrily. The two arguing men turned towards Romano. Prussia walked over to Romano and punched him in the stomach forcefully and made Romano gasp in pain as he tried to breathe.
"You know, once you went insane...you were even more of potato ********." Romano forced out after he caught his breath.
"L-Lovino!" Hungary cried only to be muffled by the sound of war around her. Lovino looked around but couldn't find any sign of Elizavetta.
"Where is she?!" Romano cried out to the two men standing before him.
"Oh look he wants his lover." Frederich coldly said as he crossed his arms.
"Too bad stupid Italian!" The Albino screeched as he landed another punch into Romano, but this time on his jaw. Romano spit out blood from the forceful contact and kicked the red eyed Prussian were the sun never shines and ran free from the two soldiers, towards the battlefield looking for his lover. Austria stood there shocked at what a small Italian can do. Prussia cried out in agony
as he curled into a ball on the ground.
"Baby." Austria said calmly. A random Prussian soldier kicked Austria just like Romano kicked Prussia and laughed as he watched the weak Austrian fall to his knees crying.
"Baby!" The prussian soldier yelled mimicking the Austrian's words.
"Lovino." Hungary whispered as she was choked being lifted up by an insane prussian. Romano ran around yelling in fear.
"Elizavetta?! Liza?! Where are you!?" Romano cried out looking in the blood filled battle field. He heard a faint clang of metal hitting the cold ground and turned to see his beloved Elizavetta falling to the ground lifelessly.
"NO!" Romano yelled as the prussian ran. Romano pulled his gun out and shot the running soldier then ran to Elizavetta who was lying on the ground face first. Lovino kneeled down to Elizavetta and turned her on her back. He felt her neck for a pulse...none prevailed. Lovino leaned in and gave mouth to mouth as an attempt to bring her back to him. Lovino pressed on her chest three times and returned to her mouth. He felt for her pulse again and felt a small, faint, beat of her blood...it was small but there. Romano held his beloved Liza and cried into her hair feeling his terrified emotions hitting him like sharp bullets to his heart. Romano could hear Prussia yell out to capture South Italy and Hungary, but the Austrian army fought more against
Hungarian soldiers looking for the one and only Hungary. Prussia's insanity came back to him and he yelled out louder.
"Bring her to me dead or alive!" Prussia yelled raising his gun and shooting it a few times. Romano picked Hungary up carefully and ran out of the battlefield quickly. He remained crying as he ran to Germany's house knowing that's where Italy and help would be. Romano held Hungary close to his chest as he felt her soft breath brush against his neck.
"Venetziano! Ludwig!" Romano yelled using Germany's real name for once. Italy opened the door quickly with his usual smile, but his smile quickly faded away once he saw his wounded Frettello caring a bruised and unconscious Hungary.
"Germany!" Italy cried out as he ran out to his brother to help him. Germany came running at the sound of worry in his friend's voice.
"Oh mein Gott! Ms. Hedervary!" Germany yelled out in shock. Ludwig took Elizavetta from the crying Lovino and took her inside to a medical room. Lovino's eyes didn't turn away from his loving Elizavetta for one second. Germany felt Liza's faint pulse and saw how her skin became more pale. Ludwig grabbed a shot and filled it half way with some type of liquid and injected it into Liza's arm.
"Hey what was that?!" Romano asked obviously knowing nothing about the odd liquid.
"It's just a high dosage of alcohol. It vill give her heart a boost and cause her blood to race more zen usual. It vill help her breathe...trust me." Ludwig explained calmly as he pushed Romano and Italy out of the room. Romano had no chance of winning the tall, strong, German so after he was pushed out of the room and Germany shut the door he fell to his knees and cried still in fear of loosing Elizabetta. Italy knelt down to his brother and tried not to cry with him, instead he placed his hand on his back.
"It's okay vetta. Germany is good at this stuff...I'm glad you thought of bringing her here." Italy said proud of his older brother.
"Yeah, well I still hate the darn potato eater." Romano said after he stopped his cries.
"It's okay." Italy said acting mature for once.
Spain and France ran through Germany's open door to the hallway Romano and Italy were in.
"We came as soon as we heard amigos." Spain said as him and France ran to them. Romano jumped to his feet slightly angered that they came, Spain noticed Romano's anger.
"Are you alright Romano?" spain asked concern.
"Tomato ********! I can't believe you think your welcome any where near here! Your the ones that caused this! IF YOU DIDN'T LET PRUSSIA GO ALONE NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Romano screamed and Spain and France. Spain was shocked to see Romano this angry. Spain's seen him angry but not this angry and especially towards him.
"Frettello don't-" Italy said but only to cut himself off when his brother shot him a look.
"Look...We know we should have done better to keep Gilbert here...but...we were his best friends and we are hurting too." France explained seriously.
"Francis..." Spain said stopping France once he saw tears piling in Romano's eyes.
"I'm sorry Romano. I would do the same thing if my girlfriend was like Elizavetta." Antonio said as he looked towards the ground.
"Leave me alone." Lovino hissed as he walked away out a back door.
"Big brother Spain?" Italy asked.
"Si?" Spain replied looking up.
"Are you going to be okay?" Italy asked concerned for his feelings. Spain only nodded and then turned to France.
"We should go Francis." Antonio said starting to walk out of the house. France followed shortly after he said good-bye. Spain and France walked down the streets to Spain's house and walked inside almost dragging their feet. Prussia jumped out and slammed Antonio against the wall shoving his forearm into his chest forcefully. Antonio yelled out in pain as France was hit with a metal pole by a smiling Russian.
"R-Russia?" France asked confused.
"Ja! Russia is on my side! Now...vhere is Elizavetta?" Prussia yelled in Antonio's face.
"I'm not telling!" Spain hissed back.
"Oh? Vell, I guess zis vone vill answer ze simple question." Ivan said with his deep russian accent.
"Don't Francis!" Spain yelled.
"Tell me vhere Elizavetta is hiding, da?" Russia asked with an evil smile.
"No!" France yelled.
"Tell us or say good-bye to Spain!" Prussia said angrily as he pointed a gun to Antonio.
"Let him shoot! We can't tell Francis! Romano and Italy are still there!" Spain yelled not wanting to hurt his own family. France was thinking and panicking at the same time looking at Antonio and at the insane Prussia.
"Tick-Tock France." Prussia said cocking the gun ready to shoot.
"No!...Fine. Their at...at..Germany's house." France weakly explained ashamed of giving up. Russia and Prussia ran out the door towards Germany's house.
"I'm sorry Antonio. I couldn't lose you and Gilbert." France said sadly.
"We have to at least try to help." Spain said as he jumped to his feet only to fall again.
"Spain!" France yelled. Spain got back to his feet with a smile.
"Sorry amigo...I tripped." Spain said laughing.
"Ohononon!" France laughed as they ran out of the house.
Germany was able to get Hungary to gain conciousness again and she was breathing normally.
"Venetziano? Vhere is Lovino?" Liza asked as she got out of the room.
"Outside." Venetziano said smiling once again. Germany turned off his equipment and shut the door while Hungary walked outside.
"Lovino?" Elizabetta asked as she walked out the back door. Romano stopped his crying at the sound of Liza's soft, gentle, voice and stood up turning to face her.
"Elizabetta?" Lovino softly asked. Elizabetta walked over to Lovino weakly and hugged him tight. Romano wrapped his arms around her in return.
"Never do that again without me." Romano whispered into Liza's ear gently.
"I won't. I love you too much to put you through that pain again." Elizabetta assured him. Alarms started going off inside Ludwig's house and they heard Italy scream. Romano and Hungary raced into the house, but only saw Germany standing his ground with a gun in his hand and Italy hiding behind him waving his white flag in fear. Romano took aim and shot Russia in the leg and watched him fall in agony.
"Stupid Russian." Romano stated as Prussia turned to Romano and Hungary. Hungary hasn't seen Prussia in seven years and she finally saw his face again. His eyes read pain and sorrow but still glimmered meaning he would never give up and keep on fighting.
"RUN!" Germany bursted out as Prussia walked towards them. Romano pulled Hungary out of the house and slammed the door shut. A bullet whistled by, shattering the glass window next to them.
"GO! GO! GO!" Romano yelled as him and Elizabetta ran together hand in hand. Prussia slammed the door open only to be tackled by his angered younger brother.
"I'm sorry Bruder." Germany quietly said as he punched Prussia over and over again then getting up to see the blood on his knuckles and blood running down Prussia's face.
"Nice vone Luddy." Prussia weakly said like he was back to normal back in his joking tone, but the crazy look in his eyes told Ludwig other wise. Romano and Hungary ran as fast as they could into random paths and woods. Romano felt a cold chill run up and down his spine and he shivered. 'It can't be him...it can't be...it just can't.' Romano thought to himself as he continued running.
"Ivan's here." Hungary said as she stopped running. hungary took one of Romano's guns from his pockets and aimed into the forest. Romano did the same and pressed his back against Hungary's back ready to shoot the psycho Russian.
"Oh you vant to shoot me, da?" A cold childish voice asked. out of no where the purple eyed Russian appeared in the woods. Hungary cocked the gun and shot Russia in the arm and cocked the gun again. Russia held his arm tightly as his long beige coat tinted red.
"Zat hurt me Elizabetta." Russia said holding his pole tightly. Romano cocked his gun and shot Russia's leg again.
"Why isn't he falling?" Romano whispered.
"I'm a very strong nation South Italy...you should know that by now, da?" Russia said like it was a question, but he remained standing though pain was written on his face. Prussia finally got up and followed Russia's foot prints into the woods quickly. He followed the faint sound of a deep and dark laugh.
"Kolkolkolkolkolkolkolkolkol." Ivan coldly laughed as he stood there now his left arm and right leg both bleeding from the recent bullet wounds.
"Alright Ivan. Take ze small Italian away and leave me ze chick." Prussia said shading out his face with his silver hair. Hungary aimed her loaded gun at Prussia but didn't shoot. Romano clicked the trigger, but his gun was out of ammo and it gave Russia just enough time to get over to him. Ivan came and tossed Romano over his shoulders with a wide smile still written on his face. Once Ivan was out of sight Prussia showed his eyes and blood covered face to Hungary. His eyes were loosing its red color and his hair was tinting darker silver. He tried to gasp out words, but they came out as a cry. Hungary kept her gun pointed at Prussia and her eyes read fear instead of hate.
"I-Im sorry." Gilbert barely managed to say. Hungary dropped her hands to her side and looked into his eyes that were so distant from her owns.
"Come closer." She demanded wanting a better look at his pale face. Prussia slowly walked over to her standing a few feet away. Elizabetta looked into Prussia's eyes and saw pain, fear, hate, despair, sadness, loneliness...
"Who are you?" Hungary asked quietly with tears piling in her eyes.
"I am Gilbert Belshmit...no longer...n-no longer.." Gilbert tried to explain, but started breathing heavily and fell to his knees holding his heart.
"GILBERT!" Elizabetta screamed as she ran to his side. Prussia fell over and rolled on his back so he was able to look into Liza's green orbs. She placed Gilbert's head in her lap and stroked his dark silver hair carefully.
"No longer ze nation P-Prussia." Gilbert explained picking up where he left off at, " I'm not ze awesome Prussia anymore...I-I'm ze jerk face Gilbert zhat almost killed ze only vone I loved." Gilbert took a deep breath and lifted his necklace off his neck.
"Gilbert?" Liza quietly asked.
"Zhis is yours now...t-take care of it...and remember only ze awesome zings about me. Ze pathetic Prussia vas not me. Zhis is me." The albino said pointing to the Prussian\German simboled necklace.
"Gil?" Hungary asked again but a bit louder.
"Make sure you love Lovino greatly...a-and take care of the trio I used to be in." Gilbert said as he started gasping for air.
"Gilbert! Don't leave yet!" Hungary yelled. Gilbert took a deep breath and pointed to Hungary's heart.
"Follow zis...and let Lovino protect you. I'll..be.." Prussia said as he then formed his two hands into a shape of a heart, "I'll be..h-here." With his last words his arms dropped onto his chest and his breath gave out.
"NO! Gilbert!" Hungary cried out not wanting to loose a best friend. She held the emblem close to her heart as she saw Prussia's silver hair fade to dark blonde and his eyes no longer in color. Elizabetta closed Gilbert's eyes and kissed his forehead. She set his head down and walked away to find Lovino.
"L-Lovino!" Hungary called still shocked from seeing her childhood friend die in her lap.
"Over here!" Romano called. Liza pulled the chained necklace over her head and fixed her hair over the silver chain, but she was now in tears and smiling.
"Elizabetta?" Romano asked confused.
"He died happy and calm in my lap. He told me to follow my heart," Elizabetta said now breaking down in tears and keeping her smile, "To f-follow my heart...and to remember him...to let you protect me...I'm glad he didn't die in vain...he died knowing I'm safe. His country died and so did he...I will forever...cherrish and love his presence." Romano held Hungary closer to his chest and understood her mixed emotions. She held onto Gilbert's necklace tightly rubbing the german words on it softy...Mein Liebe...My Love. Hungary thought back on her memories and remembered those exact word being whispered to her by the one and only...Gilbert Belshmit.
