A/N: Hello, everyone!
I know I still have to finish my Vocaloid-story, but I don't want to anymore. I killed it with poorly planned plot-twists and the like, so... here we are- Hetalia. It's in a human-AU and disabled!Liechtenstein will be the main character.
Ah, the names for the characters are:
Liechtenstein- Lili Vogel
Mother- Gudrun Vogel
Father- Horst Vogel
(I know they sound stupid, but hey, I know a girl named Kunigunde...)
I'm not sure which pairings are going to be there, either, but I hope you will still read this. And tell me if I'm killing the plot!
"Hey, Mutti, are we really going to go skiing this winter? I am so glad, because I really want to!" Lili said happily and placed the bag with the groceries on top of the counter in the small kitchen. Her mother had promised her to go skiing when her father got off work next time. However, if you were the always busy man her father was, you would understand why she was so happy about a vacation with her rather small family.
"Yes, Liebling, we will. The next two weeks you don't have school, and since Papi has asked his boss a moth ago to get the first one off... ah, Lili, don't put the tomatoes there..." Gudrun laughed and took the vegetables from her daughter's hands. "Look, I told you so many times to put them there instead of... never mind, Süße..." she laughed and Lili couldn't help but laugh along. "How about watching TV until I made dinner?" the mother sighed when the laughter died down.
"Okay..." Lili responded and went to her room. It had taken her two months to get her father to allow her to have an own TV right in her room, but when she finally had one, she didn't need it anymore. Yes, even if she was a shy and gentle person she was still a teenager.
The programme wasn't interesting to begin with. Lili just stared blankly at the screen, not paying attention to the news that were on.
"And now the weather-forecast for the region Vaduz on this cold December Friday. Tomorrow, there will be snow for sure, around fourty centimetres over night. Please stay at home for your own safety, as the snow will probably be frozen over by tomorrow morning and you won't be able to drive on the roads pro-"
"LILI! DINNER IS READY!"
Lili got off her bed from which she had been watching TV and turned it off. She sighed and went downstairs to see her mother waiting for her to come and sit down. "Is Papi still at work?"
Now it was her mother's turn to sigh. "You know we're going tomorrow morning and it was fairly hard for him to get off anyways, so he has to work a little longer. But! This shouldn't be a problem, since there is a week of family-time ahead of us, right?"
"I already told you I was sorry I couldn't help you two pack yesterday... hey, I even got everything into the car..." Horst complained about his wife's anger on him for coming home so late that it was up to her and her daughter to pack everything.
"Vati, Mutti isn't angry and neither am I! She just does that because it's fun..." Lili laughed and pulled at her father's sleeve so she could peck him on the cheek. "But we should get going... because I'm cold... if you don't mind, of course!"
"Don't be so shy and polite, Lili. At least not when talking to your parents... we know you the most!" Gudrun smiled and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "But we really should get going... Horst, did you pack the ski too?"
"Everything's here!"
"Well then, Süße, we have one week family vacation, starting right now!" the mother laughed and got into the car. Lili quietly sat down behind the passenger-seat her mother sat in and after five minutes of driving, she was already fast asleep. Her long blonde hair was pulled back into two braids, but they fell over her shoulders and worked wonderfully as a frame for her face.
"You know that we have the probably cutest daughter in the world?" Gudrun asked and turned around to face her husband again. "And the nicest too... I tell you, in two years you have to keep the boys away from her..." she laughed.
"I will, I wi- !"
The first thing Lili noticed when she woke up was that she was incredibly cold, even if she was still inside of the car. But why was she hanging to the side so much? It was like the whole car was...! A wave of panic came over her.
They had an accident! She couldn't help but look forwards to check on her parents. And she screamed. Screamed in horror, sadness, anger... everything. The whole car was red from blood, the windows were all broken and the airbags hung losely around. "M- Mutti? VATI!" she cried and tried to open the seatbelt. Tears ran down her cheeks and her vision became blurry.
"It's a lie, right? Mutti, is this a nightmare?" she muttered and hoped for a response. She didn't get one. Finally, the seatbelt opened and she fell onto her arm, crashing against a window in the back that wasn't broken. "I have to get... a doctor..." she sobbed queitly and tried to open the door.
When it opened she was grateful she just fell out of the car that smelled so much like blood, so much like... loss. "I... have to... stand up..." she whispered to herself, her own voice calming her down so she wouldn't cry too hard.
And then she first noticed it- she couldn't feel her legs. They didn't move, didn't hurt... no, she just had an aching sensation somewhere below the small of her back. How was she supposed to get help now? How could she save her parents if they were just unconcious? How...?
Lili's eyes shot open and she was able to feel her pulse in every part of her body. It was a bed she was liying in, not the cold snow nor the car. She would have believed it had all just been a dream if she didn't hear the cold beep-sounds of a hospital.
"Ah, Fräulein Vogel... we didn't think you would wake up so early..." an unfamiliar, female voice next to her suddenly spoke and made Lili jump a bit. Still, the voice went on. "I am sorry to inform you that- no, that is... um, you see... Lili, do you want to hear the good news, the bad news or... or... the worst news first?"
"What... um, where... I... please, the good news first..." she whispered quietly and turned her head in the direction the voice came from while that small movement made her back hurt as if it was on fire.
The nurse (her cloths gave it away) next to the bed sighed and looked at her with a sad smile. "Then... the worst will be the last..." she muttered and nodded. "The good news is... you're alive... while the bad news is... because of the accident, you will never be able to walk again..."
Lili looked at her, fear and shock in her eyes. But when she saw how sad the nurse looked, her expression softened and she tried to smile a little.
"However... the worst news is... your parents... Herr and Frau Vogel... aren't... didn't... I... I am sorry, but they didn't make it and passed away before the ambulance was contacted."
That was it. Lili's face fell and instantly, her breath quickened and her vision became blurry with the tears stinging in her eyes. She couldn't stand it anymore, even if every movement hurt... her sobbing would get louder and her body was shaking.
The nurse had left five minutes ago when the teenager had fallen asleep, but now Lili was awake again, questions buzzing in her head.
Who was going to give her a home? Was she going to become an orphan? What kind of a person would take a girl in that couldn't even walk? A girl that couldn't pay for her parent's grave? A girl that would die of hunger and wouldn't... couldn't be loved?
She closed her eyes again and let her hands rest on her stomach. Quietly, she folded them and took a deep breath.
"Dear God, I hope Mutti and Vati are with you now, at a better place known as heaven. Please let them stay with you, in your endless glory. And, even if it is selfish, God, please let me get out of here... give me someone I can live with and love. Amen" she whispered queitly and sighed.
God was always the person she could tell everything. She was a religious person, believed in heaven, angels, saints and Jesus Christ. And she knew God was almighty- He cared for His sheep, His humans. He took them home when they were needed in His home, far above the skies. And He was so, so generous. He took her parents with Him because they deserved it! So why shouldn't He grant one little girl a new family?
No, no one could replace her Mutti and her Vati, but she needed love. Yes, someone with a big heart would take in the wheelchair-bound teenage-girl that she was. Someone wouldn't mind the fact that she had become even weaker than before! Someone who could defend her and was ready to do so.
She sighed again. Everything hurt and the beeping of her heart-monitor didn't help the headache she was developing.
Did she have any relatives bessides her parents...? Her Omas and Opas were all dead for sure, she had been to their funerals, but did she have any aunts or uncles? She wasn't sure anymore. Her father didn't have any siblings but her mother... just... nothing... everything seemed to be blurry. Even the accident.
If Lili was to retell what had happened she would have been able to say as much as "I woke up and Mutti and Vati were dead". Nothing more. The only thing she saw was red and white. Read was blood since the nasty smell didn't leave her nose, but what was white...?
However, her eyes fell close before she could even tell herself what exactly had happened.
A/N: Good beginning? Bad beginning? This isn't a prologue, alright? The story will continue after this, without time between the chapters!
I figure you can tell who will take her in. Look at the 'Sort by character'-thing already!
Oh, a few translations, maybe? It's all German, so I won't have to tell you every single time.
'Liebling'- Darling, but in this case more a honey, amirite?
'Süße'- Sweety, sweetheart;
'Mutti'- Mummy (while I always all my Mum Mama [yes, I am German])
'Vati'- Daddy
'Papi'- Daddy
'Herr'- Mr.
'Frau'- Mrs.
'Fräulein'- Ms.
Well, please review how you like it and what I could do better. Trolls ( basement dwellers) aren't bad people either, so... flames, critism or (even though I highly doubt that) praise would make me happy!
See you in the next chapter!
