Hello~ nekoNamine here. This is my first story, and I hope you'll enjoy it! Oh, and Russia will be younger than Lithuania here.
Lithuania: 12 years old
Russia: 9 years old
Also, if you listen to the Final Fantasy XIII OST: Atonement, I guarantee you it will fit well in this story. Maybe I should shut up now. XD
Happy reading~!
Lithuania POV
"Hey Eduard! Pass me the ball!" I yelled.
Here! Don't let Raivis catch it!" came a reply. I ran after the ball.
Hey, no fair!" someone tried to run after me.
We had so much fun that I didn't didn't notice it was getting dark. "TORIS! What did I tell you?" a woman yelled. I turned around and saw an angry woman walk towards me. "Come with me right now! You didn't come back at sunset! I'll address your punishment when we get home!"
"But Mom-"
"You heard me! Let's go home." My mom grabbed my hand harshly. I bit back a yelp, and obediently followed along. I didn't have the time to say goodbye to my friends.
When we got back home, my mom threw me on the couch and slammed the door. She took off her coat and turned on the lights. Because of the sudden noise, my step-brother Ivan peeked from the wall. I spotted him, and he hid away and ran back to his room. I inwardly sighed. I turned to my mom, whose eyes are blazing.
"Well? Explain yourself," she said coldly. I gulped.
"I-I was playing with Eduard and Raivis. I didn't see that the sun set and-"
"Do you see why I barely let you go out and play? It's because you don't pay attention to the time," my mother snapped. I balled my fists under my back. "Now, your punishment is to clean the whole house every weekend. And you have to wash the dishes and feed the animals. For a whole year." The person who I call mother stood up, and pointed to the floor. "Clean it."
"But-" I started. "I said clean it! You're just like your father."
That was the end of the line.
"Don't speak about my father that way!" I snarled. I jumped up and grabbed my mother's collar. "If he was here now he won't order me around to clean this mess of a house! He would love me and speak kindly to me! Unlike you! You're just a damn ragana (witch)!" I watched as her face switched from anger to shock. I let go of her collar and ran to my room, crying. I hid under my covers of my bed and slowly dozed off.
"Литва (Lithuania)?" My country's name. I sat up, recognizing the Russian accent. "What is it, Ivan?" The door was open, and Ivan peeked inside. "You can come in, Ivan." He ran up to me and hugged me tightly.
"мать (mother) is scary, Литва," he said, shaking. I hugged him close and patted his head. "Everything will be okay, mažai (little) Ivan. Don't worry," I whispered. "We'll get out of this mess for sure."
One month later...
"Toris! Get over here!" my mom shouted. I ran over to the living room, abandoning the animals. "Explain to me how there is still dust on the table?" she demanded.
"I-" I started, then felt sharp pain on my forehead. A crash sounded. Thick liquid ran down my forehead and above my eyes. Blood. I suddenly felt dizzy.
"Hmph. That will teach you to clean more properly." I looked at the floor. A vase. A broken vase.
"Clean that up. I'll be leaving for the market. And when I come back, I expect to see the whole house clean." She walked away. The dizzying got worse.
The last thing I remembered was the front door closing and Ivan crying above me, screaming at me to wake up.
I blacked out.
...Is that a cliffhanger? Well, it might in your opinion. Ugh, I don't know...
ANYWAY. I hope you liked my first chapter. Short chapter is short though. -.-
