so this is what happens when I decide to read all of the LOTR book/other stuff...

Chapter one

"Been a while since we were able to all meet outside of work, and at England's house no less," Australia commented as he sat with several of England's other ex-colonies. There had been a world meeting in London that week, and the younger nations had decided to meet up and catch up on what everyone else was doing.

"Technically we are still here on work, but it is nice to take a break," Seychelles commented while sipping her drink. Due to them being spread throughout the world, it was hard for them to meet and talk like the siblings that they were raised to be.

"Hey, and thanks for inviting me this time," America commented, usually the one left out due to his own business and the fact that he was the first one to leave.

"You were in the area anyways so might of well," Hong Kong answered.

"So then are we all here?" Seychelles asked.

"Hmm, I think we're still missing Canada," New Zealand answered after looking around the room.

"Maybe he won't show up this time since we're close to that house," Australia commented.

"What would a house do to change anything?" America asked confused. He knew Canada was at the world meeting, so the location should not bother him too much, but he was a bit later than normal.

"That's right, you probably didn't know that we're close to that house," Hong Kong answered.

"What's that house?" America asked even more confused.

"It's a house that Canada got in trouble at and England banned him from ever going near again. Heck, England was so angry he practically tossed him out of his country," Australia answered with a laugh.

"Dude, are you serious?! I'd never thought Canada could do something like that! When did this happen?" America asked instantly excited by learning something Canada had never told him.

"1860s,1870s…why's it matter?" Seychelles asked after some thought.

"No reason, so what did he do?" America asked, only to have the conversation stopped by Canada bursting into the room and quickly changing the topic off of him. As much as America tried, he could not get an answer to his question for the rest of that night, and it bothered him continuously for the rest of the last meeting day. During several of the breaks he would ask England or Canada, but they refused to answer, and the other nations could not give a clear answer either. The most he could discover was that if Canada went back to that mysterious house, something bad would happen.

Even more curious now, after the meeting he invited Canada to go out for the night with him, saying he wanted to check out a haunted house England was talking about. Upon hearing this request, Canada frowned and asked, "You just want someone to hold onto as you freak out, don't you?"

"You sure saw through that quick, but keep it a secret okay?" America laughed.

"Fine. So where is it?" Canada agreed with a sigh.

"Not too far, I got the directions into my GPS so let's go," America answered, only to then drag Canada to his car, start it, and drive off. Nothing seemed to out of the ordinary as America drove, and soon Canada began to zone out as they left the city and entered a stand of trees. It was not until America stopped the car that Canada realized where they were.

"Why are we here?" Canada asked as his face paled. They were not at a place he was expecting, but at one of the old houses England owned. The old house in fact, that he was told never to return to and England would become furious if any of the ex-colonies even talked about returning to.

"I want to know why you can't be here. So either start explaining or I'll kick you out and call Iggy to tell him where we are," America replied with a smile.

"You wouldn't dare! And even if I told you the truth you'd think I was lying. Now start your car and get us out of here," Canada answered, visibly panicking. America only gave his brother an I-don't-believe-you stare, however, before opening his door and stepping out. Once he was outside he began to drag Canada out only to drop him right out of the door.

"See, you're outside and nothing is trying to bite your head off, now last chance; tell me what the big secret is," America ordered, only for the ground beneath them to violently move before Canada could speak; knocking America down atop Canada. As suddenly as it began, it ended, only for the clouded sky to start raining.

"An earthquake? That sure was weird," America commented only to then look to where he had dropped Canada. Only Canada was not sitting by him. Instead, Canada had staggered to his feet and was sprinting to the back of the house. Curious and now slightly confused, America chased after Canada only to find the other trying to crawl into a rabbit hole.

"What do you think you're doing?!" America asked as he began to pull Canada out by the ankles. Canada gave some sort of muffled response, only to then cry out as America gave one last tug and pulled him out. But Canada had suddenly changed upon leaving the hole.

Canada was now much shorter, reaching now only to about America's waist and looking as if he was back to being a child. Along with this, his ears had grown to almost twice their original size and his feet were also now larger and furrier. What concerned him most, however, was the fact that Canada was asleep and he could not wake him up.

Another rumble came from the earth, this time stronger. Completely freaked out, America carried Canada back to his car, started it, and speed as far away as he could from the house. Once he could no longer even see the forest and his heart stopped trying to escape, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"What do you want now?"

England.

"Iggy, this is important! It's about Canada!" America answered, only to look to his side and see the smaller Canadian still fast asleep.

England paused for a moment, only to then reply, "You took him to that house, didn't you."

"Um…ya. Then there were these earthquakes and Canada ran inside a hole. But when I pulled him out he changed into something else!"

England paused again at this before asking, "Is he conscious?"

"No!" America exclaimed, the memories of what happened causing him to become flustered. It did not help that after saying so he could hear England swear. At last England commented, "America, it is very important that you get Canada out of my country. Now! Better yet, to be safe get him back to his house, or the continent; whichever can happen faster. Do you understand?"

"Dude, just because we went to that house is no reason to just kick us out of your country," America commented, momentarily forgetting his concern.

"Yes it is, especially since he just re-awoke something which my brothers and I have been trying to keep asleep for centuries, something which will try to take him back and never let him go if it catches him in these islands!"

America paused at this. He assumed that England would be angry because they did something he told them not to for no other reason. But England sounded very serious and worried. At last he asked, "What happened? What is going on with Canada?"

"I will explain later, but first take Canada someplace safe-away from here- and call me to tell me where you went. I'll meet you there," England answered before hanging up. Seeing this as his cue, America hung up his phone and looked to Canada. He gave out a sigh, only to then smile and say, "Well then, I guess that means the hero needs to help you, doesn't it," before driving off.
