I'm sorry this is so late. I haven't been able to write on the computer due to the fact that my parents are bent on not letting me on the computer.
Thank you to everyone who has read my story! :D Just so you know, because there are OCs in this story, the characters may not be as the game went. Okay?
The people in this story are Neeky-chan (Me), SarentoKensei, AniBell, Himiwari-chan, and KittiClement. Enjoy the story so far!

Back to where the girls split up
Lizzie, Kaia and Annica stood outside the mansion, waiting for the other two.
"They're taking up precious time!" Lizzie said, impatiently while tapping her foot.
"Then let them be slowpokes! We're going inside. If anything bad happens then we can call them." Annica said.
"Very true! Let the adventures begin!" Kaia grinned, walking towards the mansion.
"Does this mansion seem familiar to you or is it just me?" Annica asked, skeptically.
"It does a little. Maybe we came here when we were a bit younger." Lizzie suggested.
"That's possible. Let's not dwell on the subject and go in already." Kaia said. The three girls nodded and walked inside, shutting the door behind them.
"It's a lot cleaner than I thought," Annica said, blinking, "Thought it'd be a lot dustier." Nickel started to whine and bark loudly.
"Shut up, Nickel! What is wrong with you?" Lizzie scolds. He doesn't of course, he's an aggressive dachshund.
"I agree with you there, Ann." Kaia said. The girls were about to move forward but they stopped when they heard Nickel's unnaturally low, protective growl.
Lizzie felt the hairs on her neck stand up and the other girls got chills down their back. They slowly looked around.
The Oni was looking directly at them.
Lizzie softly swore and ran off before the other two reacted.
"Run!" Annica screamed. Both girls ran upstairs to the second floor and started looking for an empty, unlocked room. The girls eventually find one and lean against the door. The cold chill was disappearing.
"That was close! He could have killed us!" Kaia huffed.
"You got that right! And knowing that this is HetaOni, is not very reassuring. And we can't warn Monique and Whitney either!" Annica groaned.
"Do you think we got here before the Hetalia crew?" Kaia asked.
"It's likely, considering that this is probably not the first time."
"I'm afraid of what kind of deaths we've sustained. O_o" Kaia sweat dropped. They both decided to walk away from the door a little bit to continue.
"Let's not dwell on that subject. Right now, we have to find Lizzie. She got away before we did." Annica said seriously.
"Yeah, but we should… What's that noise?" Kaia shushed.
"It sounds like… someone running." The two girls looked at each other before the door was harshly opened. The person quickly got in and slammed the door. The girls' eyes widened at the person.
It was Prussia.
He was shaking in fright from seeing the Oni.
"…the hell was that Thing?" His red eyes filled with fear. "Not awesome!" He didn't take notice at the brown-haired girls staring at him as he went in between the beds where Japan first sees him. The girls looked at each other.
"Did he notice us?" Kaia asked.
"No, I don't think he did. He's probably still lingering on the fact that Steve was after him." Annica responded.
'I must be going crazy. A bunch of girly voices talking to each other about the awesome me. I hope this is just a dream' Prussia thought.
"That is true. Should we pull him out of it?" Kaia asked again.
"If we do, I'm not staying within range of his sword. Remember what happened when Kiku got near him?" Annica said, matter-of-factly.
'How did they know I have a sword?' He asked himself. He was becoming quite curious on who they were but couldn't bring himself to turn around.
"Yeah, he nearly got injured." Kaia said, snorting. "I'll use my pipe to poke him."
"Good luck with… where did you get a pipe?" This question was ignored as Kaia got up and walked over to Prussia, pipe in hand and started poking him with said item.
"Who's there?" Prussia's sword hit Kaia's pipe making the sound echo in the room. "Are you ghosts?" He shakily started forward.
"Yes, ghosts in a haunted mansion filled with a bunch of Steves." Kaia OF COURSE WE'RE NOT!" He flinched back at the sudden tone, then started forward again.
"Kaia, there was no need for you to yell, ya know."
"Yeah, but…" There was silence as Prussia groped Annica. It took all of 5 seconds for them to react.
"You are real…" Prussia said, blinking.
"PERVERT!" Annica yelled, kicking his five meters. His knees hit the floor.
"Not awesome!" he hissed. Kaia was laughing so hard she fell to the floor while Annica was protecting her chest with her arms.
"It isn't funny, Kaia!" Annica pouted.
"Yeah… it is! XD" Kaia said between laughs. "Monique… would be… sad she… missed it! XD" Annica didn't say anything as she looked away from her.
"So… why are you here? Do you own this house?" Prussia asked.
"Umm, no. We just saw this mansion and decided to check it out." Annica said. Kaia's laughter was dying down as she listened into the conversation. "We didn't realize Steve was going to pop out of nowhere to kill us."
"Steve?" Prussia asked, confused. The girls realized their slip up.
"Umm, it's… what we call that… alien thing." Kaia said, slowly; choosing her words carefully.
"You named that… Thing?" He looked at them in disbelief.
"Yeah… we did." Annica clarified.
"That's not normal." He scoffed.
"We're Americans. We're not supposed to be normal." Kaia laughed. Prussia then looked at the two of them skeptically before patting Kaia's left shoulder.
"I believe it." Kaia quickly shifted away from his hand as her face twisted in slight pain. He blinked. "Did I do something wrong?"
"It's… I injured it a little while ago in the woods." Kaia lied. "It's just sore when it's touched now." She smiled awkwardly.
"O-kay…" Prussia said, not really believing her. "Wait, how long has it been since you've gotten here?" Prussia asked.
"That is a good question. We don't know. Our watches stopped working a while ago." Annica said. She was lying, because neither of the two girls had watches.
"Oh, okay." Prussia said.
"I think Steve is gone now. I'm going to go look around. And you'll protect Annica while I'm gone." Kaia got up and walked to the door before pausing, turning her head back towards them, "If you don't, you shall find that your five meters will be five inches in the most painful way possible." Kaia glared at him, looking a lot like Russia before returning to her happy look.
Prussia flinched and all the colour drained from his face.
"I-I will! You can count on me!" He laughed, nervously.
"Alright. Be good Annica."
"When am I not being good?" She asked innocently.
"That is questionable." Kaia then left the room. When the door was closed, there was a soft 'click.' Kaia sighed as she knew the dangers of the mansion. But she couldn't remember exactly what happened in order.
Being as she was, she was determined to find her sister-like friends, leaving her trust in Prussia to protect her taller friend from any sort of danger. And thus her journey began.
Prussia and Annica, on the other hand, were staring and glaring at each other… respectively.
"So, what do we do now?" Prussia asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"It's not safe to go out knowing Steve could appear at any moment, so we can consider ourselves stuck here." Annica said, crossing her arms.
"Then, how about we play a game of Chutes and Ladders?"
"What?" Annica was considerably confused. And to press the matter, he pulled out a to-go version of the said game. She blinked as he placed it on the floor in front of them. "I suppose it's better than playing the pocky game." She mumbled.
"What's pocky?"
"A Japanese treat I like to eat at home." She said shrugging. The game began…
Later~
Prussia seemed to be winning the game and Annica glared at him while he grinned cockily.
"Face it. I'm more awesome than you, so I will win this game!" Prussia grinned.
"Yeah right. I will kill your ego when over throw you!" She rolled the dice, landing herself a 7. "Ha! I'm closer than you are now!" She gloated, placing her character on number 95. It was Prussia's turn to glare.
"Oh yeah? Well here's my roll!" He was about to look at the dice when the two of them felt an eerily cold presence. Their eyes widened as Prussia quickly went back to his corner where Japan found him muttering how scary the Thing was. Annica swept the game underneath the bed and soon followed as the door opened.
Annica could see people's feet enter the room instead of Steve, much to her relief. There were about four people, who she couldn't tell. One had black shoes and white pants. 'Japan! Then that should be Whitney, Monique and Kaia!' She thought. Annica wanted to make sure it was them before running out to greet them.
"Hey, isn't that Prussia?" A familiar voice whispered.
"Yeah, that means Japan is going to approach him." Another familiar voice answered.
"Do you think this is the latest time loop or a past time loop?" The first voice asked, worriedly.
"This has to be the latest time loop. That's how the story went." The second replied more calm than the other.
"Oh. I hope we can find Annica, and Lizzie soon. I miss them already!" The first whined.
"I left Annica with Prussia in this room. I hope she didn't leave." A third voice said.
'Oh! They are Whitney and Monique! And Kaia's with them! I think I'll try to scare them.' Annica thought evilly.
Lock door?
~Yes
No
Annica blinked at the options that appeared in front of her face, making her flinch. She could see that Monique (her feet are covered by black boots) had walked closer to the door and just stood there. Whitney and Kaia shuffled their feet nervously. "Who's there?" Prussia shouted as he swung his sword at Japan, who skillfully blocked it.
"Whoa! C-Calm down! It's me!" Japan exclaimed.
"O-oh. It's you Japan? S… Sorry." Prussia said, looking relieved and a bit shaken.
"Are you alright?" Japan asked.
"T-there was that monster! I saw it! A stark-naked giant the colour of rotten scones!" Prussia said. Annica stifled a chuckle at his statement.
"…" Japan stared at him, unable to say anything.
"It's true! We all saw it! Me and West and Italy, too! Prussia insisted. The girls in the room decided to ignore their conversation.
"Hey, do you think someone else is in this room, Whitney?" Monique asked.
"I think so! 'Cause that giggle didn't come from me!" She said, bouncing towards the noise. Annica tried to stay as quiet as she could. "I think it came from the bed." Whitney walked over to the bed and started looking around.
Annica shot out her hand from underneath the bed and caught Whitney's ankle. She shrieked, pulling Annica out.
"That wasn't funny, Annica! DX" Whitney whacked Annica on the top of her head as Annica, Kaia and Monique laughed. Whitney pouted.
"Is this one of your friends, Monique-san?" Japan asked.
"That there is my youngest sister, Annica." She smiled. Did she give you a hard time, Prussia?" She asked, smiling.
"Yeah! She kicked my awesome five meters! SHE," pointing at Kaia, "threatened to destroy them!" He paled a bit at the thought.
"…Did you really?" Monique glared at them.
"Yeah…" The two of them looked at their feet.
"But I had a reason to! He groped me!" Annica piped in. Monique smirked at that and Annica fumed, not expecting that reaction.
"Well, aside that you have met Annica and Kaia, I am Monique." She said bowed Japanese-style to Prussia.
"Guten Tag, Monika! Ich bin das ehrfurchtige Prussia!*" He grinned before turning to Japan. "All right, then I'll look for them, too! But first, let's go where West is. What's he doing, anyway?"
"He said he was too hungry to move." The girls tuned them out again.
"Now we just need to find Lizzie. Where could she have gone?" Monique asked.
"I don't know. She was faster than the rest of us. Heck, she reacted faster than we did!" Kaia commented.
"She probably went and got herself injured, knowing her…" Annica trailed off.
"That's mean, Annie!" Monique snapped.
"It's the truth!" She defended.
"But it's still mean." Whitney backed up her older sister. The girls went silent before they heard Prussia say something discomforting.
"Don't you hear the sound of… something… getting closer?" Prussia asked.
"Monique-san, get away from the door." Japan ordered. Monique stiffened but didn't comply. There were heavy footsteps with loud breathing behind the door.
"Monique-san, now!" he ordered again. Monique threw a glare at him, which he flinched at before looking back at the door. Whitney and Annica clung to Kaia as if for extra protection. Mr. Pickles appeared around Whitney's feet and Annica posed to retrieve her bow and arrow while Kaia gripped her pipe.
Monique had long since taken her pocket knife out, hoping it was the latest time loop.
"Hey… if that thing on your waist isn't just for show, pull it out of the scabbard. If you don't wanna get eaten, that is." Prussia suggested as he held up his own sword.
"Agreed." Japan gave a nod as he unsheathed the katana.
The door knob started jiggling. Whitney and Annica had to bite their lips from yelping in fright. Kaia had flinched and Monique didn't have any physical appearance changes but on the inside, she nearly did flinch.
"!" Prussia had also flinched and Monique decided to step away from the door a little bit, the door knob started jiggling more violently.
"…" Japan remained silent. Suddenly the doorknob stopped jiggling and they heard the footsteps backing away.
Monique just looked intently at the door.
"…Is it gone?" Prussia asked after the footsteps stopped.
"I hope so!" Whitney piped in.
"I don't think it is…" Monique said in a dark voice.
"Get ready, because we're in for a fight." Kaia placed her pipe on her right shoulder. Annica removed her bow from her back and an arrow and placed it so she can fire. Whitney didn't do anything.
"All right. That was a little scary, but now we should join West. Let's find Italy and get out of here as soon as possible!" Prussia said, raising his voice to normal.
"Indeed."
Prussia and Annica have joined the party.
Japan's eyes became faded as he looked at the two people's stats.

The group started for the door.
Ha ha! I got you! I left a cliffhanger. Aren't I mean? This chapter has 8 pages on Word. Thought you'd like to know.
Rough translation: Guten Tag, Monika! Ich bin das ehrfurchtige Prussia!; Good afternoon, Monique! I am the awesome Prussia!
I use google translate so if anything's wrong, it wasn't completely my fault. I have so many story ideas but I don't stick with one. It's so annoying!
KittiClement: That's because you love getting your ideas out of your head.
Neeky-chan: Kitti! Get out of here! I didn't invite you here! Go take Mr. Pickles and annoy Affy Taffy. You're annoying.
KittiClement: Hey, now that's an idea! But it's more fun annoying you!
Neeky-chan: I will murder you! *throws Mr. Pickles at her*
KittiClement: *skillfully dodges* Ha! You missed!
Neeky-chan: That's because you moved!
Anibell: Sorry for the delay. Review? :3
