Chp 1~ To begin…
My name is Elain, but the people closest to me call me Lain. I'm 17 years old and have only one real big secret, I know the countries, and they're people like you and me. I live in the United States of America, Alfred likes to brag to the others how I live in his country and not there's. Alfred's the personification of the US, he can be an ass and has a hero complex but living with him isn't all bad, we get along pretty well.
Arthur, who's England, comes over a lot, he says it's to check in on me, but I know it's cause he cares for Alfred dearly. Ivan, Russia, comes over every once in a while purely to see me, he and Alfred don't get along well, cold war thing. Yao, China, comes over a lot, but I think it's cause of the trade that he and Alfred do all the time. Francis, France, is a creeper sometimes and I can sometimes find him trying to peak through the blinds in our living room, it freaks me out a lot. Matthew, Canada, isn't really known to most of the countries, they tend to forget him, but when he comes over, we sit and talk for long periods of time.
I guess I should start the story now through, I suppose it started that Saturday. I was sitting outside with Mattie, that's what I called Matthew for short, and we were talking about animals. When Arthur and Alfred come barging out of the house yelling at each other.
"She doesn't need someone as irresponsible as you raising her!" yelled Arthur.
I sighed, it was about me…again.
"I do a fine job raising Lain! She's a great person and is awesome!" retorted back Alfred.
"Hey why don't you let Lain decide?" Suggested Mattie, in his quiet voice he has.
"Yeah! This is about me isn't it?" I exclaimed back at them.
Arthur rubbed his temples, "Love, I just want you to grow up and go somewhere with your life."
"I know, but this next year is my last year of high school, changing schools now won't help me, plus I'd rather stay with my friends for one more year before we all go our own ways." I replied, same old fight same old response. It wasn't that I didn't want to live with Arthur, I actually did, but that was later on in my life, Arthur had to many rules in his house.
"See! I told you she would rather stay with me than-" I kicked Alfred to shut him up.
"Don't be a jerk about it!" I scolded him, you would think I was the adult between the two of us.
"…'kay…" he jutted out his lower lip, pouting.
"Now I'm going to go take my dog for a walk, alone, and I'll be back when I'm done." I went inside the house and brought back out my dog's leash, I hooked him up and plodded down the steps.
"BE SAFE!"
"DON'T TALK TO CREEPERS!"
"Bye!"
I smiled to myself, but only raised my free hand in the air to show that I heard them and kept on walking. Now it makes me wish I had said bye to them as well. We walked a ways before I no longer remember what happened, all I know is that I woke up in colonial America.
