The gun shot echoed around the nations. Hungary stared down at the wound in her gut. The blood already spilling from it and her knees buckled. She heard her name being called out from other people but she couldn't focus for the blood from the wounds, mostly from the bullet wound, were already spilling out of her.
She felt someone catch her as she fell and the great nation looked up to see Austria. She tried to smile up at the worried Austrian but it didn't feel right to her. Every nation on the field watched.
"H-Hungary?" Austria asked, she could tell it was hard for him to speak, he was hurting but not from physical wounds. Hungary looked up, she was starting to feel faint and dizzy, and "Yes?" she tried to say. No one moved, Germany was the closest to Austria, he could feel the pain coming from his friend/ally.
Tears started to form in Italy's eyes as he slowly staggered up to Hungary, "Are you alright, Hungary-chan?" he asked his voice slightly breaking as tears started coming down more when he saw how much pain she was in. "I'll be fine, Ita-chan," Hungary said forcing a smile through the pain.
Hungary tried to move but instead she screamed in pain that was in her gut, both England and America flinched away from the dreadful painful scream. Austria stared at her in horror and worried, "Don't move your wound is too much."
Hungary looked up at him, she saw every emotion in his eyes and then she could see he was holding back the tears that were threatening to come down. Hungary gave her ex-husband a weak smile, "Why are you crying?" she asked weakly, it seemed almost a whisper to herself. That's when the tears slowly came down his face and everyone else stood and watched the interaction. No one cared about the war or what they were fighting for at the moment all they cared for was to see if this country was to fall or rise.
"I'm scared," Austria fumbled to say. The female nation tried to nod her head but it pained her, "M-me . . . too," she struggled to say. It was getting hard for the nation to focus and her mind was slowly slipping from her grasp.
"Do you think I will survive," Hungary said out of nowhere. Austria stared at her in shock and he tried to form words as the lump in his throat began to grow, "O-of course," he said, the lie way too obvious. Hungary grinned at this, "Liar," she choked out.
The pain in her gut started to dull as her mind began to slip even more. More tears slipped from her eyes. "You know the pain is kinda disappearing," she said and everyone knew that she was going to disappear from this world forever. "I'm so scared, Austria," she choked out more tears coming down her from her green eyes. "Don't worry, my dear, you'll always be with us," he said. But Hungary barely shook her head, "How do you know that? I-I don't want to die! I want to stay here with you! What will happen to me when I die?" she choked out between gasps and tears.
All the other nations either looked away trying to hide the tears or stared at them. Austria stroked her hair softly as if to reassure her, "Don't worry I'm sure you'll be alright." Hungary lay in Austria's arms, "I don't remember the point of this war," she weakly said. Her vision was starting to blur even more, "Remember when we were married we used to talk about what we would do together?" she said randomly. Her mind was beginning to get confused and mix up the memories of the past and what was going on in the present. Austria frowned at this but simply nodded, "Yes I remember."
"I'm sorry we split up," she said through a sudden gasp and Austria began to panic as her eyes started drooping, "Hungary look at me! Keep talking, don't slip away!" he urged.
But the girl couldn't she was barely hanging onto the last bit of life she had. "I always loved you," she whispered and at that moment Austria pressed his lips against her and kissed her and when their lips parted she let out her last breathe and she slumped into his arms. Dead.
Aeternum vale
Austria began to sob even more as he nuzzled his head into Hungary's hair. His beloved was now dead. Her body was beginning to feel light weight now and he knew she was disappearing. It had been years, no decades maybe even centuries since a great nation had disappeared like Rome had.
That day, February 19, 2030, when the Republic of Hungary fell the war had ended, peace fell over the countries once again but the fall of Hungary still haunted them especially Austria. No one took over the territory. It was 'free land', meaning no one was allowed to own it. Once again nomads and travelers entered the territory but no one ever lived there.
The war had no official name so when the war ended they gave it a nickname: The War of Fin.
Ten nations watched the Republic of Hungary fall: Austria, Germany, Italy, Romano, England, America, Russia, Greece, Turkey and Canada. All ten would not tell who killed Hungary.
Years passed with peace.
