Santiago remained quiet, not wanting to ruin the moment. He looked around, wondering on when he will be released.

At that vary moment the main nurse came in to see the two men. She looked at the Prussian at the window then at the newly awoken Spaniard. "How are you two today?" She asked in a cheery tone as she walking closer to the two of them.

"...I'm fine." Santiago simply replied as he tried to get up. He gave a few grunts be he managed to get up.

"I would not recommend getting up." She said kindly as she went over to the Prussian. "How about you, how are you feeling?" She put a genital hand on his shoulder to make sure he knew that she was there.

Gillen looked at her and sighed. "I'm fine..." He turned back to the window.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" She asked sitting next to him.

Santiago remained quiet as he let the two talk. He still felt bad for the Prussian, but he can't control his life...

He just shook his head as he looked out the window.

The nurse looked at the Prussian almost trying to read him. "Are you willing to tell me why you don't want to sleep yet?" She asked softly.

He just shook his head again.

The nurse sighed again getting up out of the seat. "So are you to hungry?I can have someone bring some breakfast up for the two of you." She stood there happily.

"...You don't have to.. I'm not that hungry." Santiago replied as he laid back down. His mind wasn't on food. He could live months without food without starving to death. He couldn't die. Anyway, his mind was focused on Gillen. And the "monster" he keeps bringing up. It bothered him and he jut wants to help... that's if he can.

The nurse left with a nod. Gillen continued to look out the window he seemed so out of it well more than usual that is. He would just continue to stare out that window thinking to himself or listening and trying to ignore what the monster was saying.

Santiago stared up at the ceiling, thinking about Gillen. And the monster. He just wants to help, but he doesn't know how...

Gillen suddenly got up he felt like he needed to stretch. He looked over at Santiago. Gill's look was terrible he had small rings forming around his eyes and he just all together looked exhausted. This was not an unusual look for the Prussian but it was bad none the less. "Are you doing well?" He asked Santiago. His voice matched his expression, tired, depressed and all of the above. But the man could not sleep and he would not.

Santiago gazed over to Gillen. He noticed the darkness around his eyes. He sat up, "You need to rest.." Santiago sighed as he stood up, "Don't let that monster get to you. Fight it off.." He encouraged, "Just because your nation is gone.. that doesn't mean you quit. You need to fight.. that monster will end up taking over you..." He looked down, "I don't want a monster for a friend.. I need you -"

"I have tried so hard to fight back Santiago. I really have, but I can't, it just consumes me..." Gillen said walking closer towards the Spaniard.

"Let me help you..." Santiago looked up to him, "I'll help you get rid of that bastard.. Trust me.."

"If jou really vant to help me jou can try... I don't know how jou can..." He said looking down a little bit. "It has been getting stronger..."

"I'll do anything to help..." He said, slowly standing up, "I just want you to be safe..."

"I have no idea how jou could... Anyvay... I have to use zhe Restroom..." He said as he started to walk towards the restroom.

"Si.." Santiago nodded as he sat back down. He thought on how to get rid of the 'monster'. It was.. actually impossible. Or that what he thinks at least..

When Gillen was finished in the restroom he was washing his hands well hand in the sink that was in front of a mirror. All of a sudden the mirror started talking to him. He looked up shocked the reflection looked like him still but at the same time it did not it was smiling evilly, and its eyes looked like eyes that could kill some one. The mirror was telling him to 'kill his friend because he did not need any and that it was his only friend'. He relied that 'a friend would not try to make their friend kill their selves'. Then it would say back 'I only do it for your best benefit Gillen'. After that Gillen got fairly mad at the creature and would just scream and punch the mirror with all of his might wanting the thing to just leave him alone. Gillen was sitting in the corner of the restroom crying into his hands he had punched he mirror with his good hand too so there was blood mixed with glass all over the ground.

Santiago heard the glass breaking. He quickly got up and headed to the bathroom. Once he entered, he noticed the blood and shattered glass everywhere. He walked inside, careful not to step on glass. He made his way in the bathroom, looking over to see Gillen in tears in the corner. The Spaniard rushed to his side, trying to calm him down. Also asking to see what had happened.

"It was him the monster, he was in the mirror, he wanted me to..." He stopped there he did not want to continue. He just cried there on the floor with blood, glass, and tears all around him.

"What did he want you to do?.." Santiago had asked, helping the Prussian up, cleaning most of the blood with a paper towel.

"He...he wanted me to... to kill...you..." He started crying more. "He said that...he was the only... friend that I needed..." He continued as he tried to calm himself down and failing.

"Calm down.." Santiago let out a sigh, hugging the Prussian close, "I won't let him kill me..." He said.

"Will not let him ezher. I don't care if he hurts me... but I can't... I can't let him hurt someone else..." Gillen was trying to stand up, he did not want to be in here anymore. He had had enough of everything the monster, his life, everything.

Santiago helped the Prussian stand. "Don't worry..." He was slightly confused. But, that didn't matter at the moment. He just wants his friend to be okay.. but he thought that if he fought the monster itself, he'll free Gillen. But, that was only a thought...

Gillen had Santiago walk him to his bed. Gill sat on the bed trying to calm down without going to sleep. He still had glass in his hand and he thought he hay have broken his hand due to how hard the punch was. He did not show Santiago how bad his hand was.

Santiago sat down beside him. He gently placed his hand onto the Prussian's shoulder, "Don't worry... The monster will be gone soon.. I have a plan.." He said as he stood up, "I have this idea that.. I will fight the monster. I will get rid of it.."

The Prussian looked up at him with a look of surprise and confusion. "How do jou plan to do zhat? It is in mien head..." He said still looking at the other. He was a little happy that his friend was wanting to help him so bad but he still did not see how he would manage to get to the monster though.

"Trust me..." Santiago nodded as he knelt down in front of him. "I will help you.. But, you just need to trust me to do this.." With that, Santiago started to explain the plan he had thought. It consists of that letting the monster take over and Santiago fighting it. But, the real problem is, fighting the monster that is inside Gillen's body could hurt Gillen as well. Unless after the monster is killed, Santiago could heal his wounds.

Gillen listened to the plan that Santiago was telling him about. It was a little scary to think of letting the monster take complete control over him. But there was something else that was in the back of his mind when Spain was talking about the plan. What if the monster could not be killed? What if the monster reappears? He had a lot of negative thoughts about this plan, but it was better than anything he had ever thought of before. When the Spaniard was finished telling his plan Gill had agreed to it even though he had all the negatives in his head.

"Do you trust me?... I will heal you back once I get rid of the monster..." He asked, resting his hand on his shoulder. "We can do this at any time.. I will not force it onto you, si?" He tilted his head slightly, patting his shoulder gently. "I'll do anything for you to be safe..."

"I do trust jou..." He said as looked at nothing in-particular. "I zhink ve should vait until jour vounds from zhe bull have completely..." He added. He was really still very concerned about his friend. He may have even developed feelings for the Spaniard and no matter how many times the monster tells him to kill the Spanish man he would not be able. It was the same when the monster told him to kill himself he just could not do it.

"Bueno.." Santiago nodded as he sat beside him. "I'll wait until my wounds are healed." He said, looking over to the Prussian. He started to think of a plan on how to beat the monster. It was confusing for him, but he believes he will be victorious.

The nurse came in the room soon after they stopped talking. When she saw the mess she was shocked. "Are you two ok? What happened here?" She noticed the blood on Gillen's hand and walked over to check it out. She told him that he had broken his hand and that he would need stitched for the cuts on the said hand. He remained quiet when she asked what had happened.

Santiago shouldn't tell what had happened. He doesn't want to poke in his business. Especially about the monster. He just remained quiet as the nurse took care of Gillen's hand. The Spaniard stood up and went over to the window, staring out. It was getting dark and he should get rest after the nurse is done with Gillen's hand.

The nurse finished tending to the Prussian's hand fairly quickly. She left soon after. Gillen then wondered over to where the Spaniard was sitting by the window he was a little upset that he had missed the sunset but he got over it quickly enough.

Santiago rested his head against the window sill, starting to doze off to sleep. It had been a long day and he thought he get some rest. He soon fallen asleep, a few quiet snores can be heard from the Spaniard.

Gillen had watched Santiago fall asleep on the window sill. Gill was not going to go to sleep again tonight, so he just watched the time go by outside. As the time went by the cars that were on the road seemed to disappear. The people that walked around went home to sleep or party. The lights in the buildings that he could see went off one by one. It almost seemed as if the city came to a halt the later it got. When he looked up to the sky he saw the beautiful stars and the huge full moon. It was truly amazing that even if one person left the earth that it would still spin and process the same as it would if they were still there, even if that one person happened to be a fallen nation. Gillen often found himself thinking about what everyone else's lives would be like if he were to just suddenly disappear like the Roman Empire or his father Germania. It was starting to become morning again meaning he would be able to watch the slow sunrise. After that happened and the Spaniard had awoken they continued the rest of the days they were in the hospital like this. Gillen's hallucinations kept getting worse, where as his left hand healed fairly quickly. Santiago's wound from the bull got better pretty soon. The hospital wanted the albino to continue to stay there until he was better but he had completely refused. So after that the two headed home from almost a months stay as that hospital. The two went to Spain's house Gillen was going to stay there until Santiago completed his plan which he seemed dead set on doing. So there they were sitting at the Spaniards house around lunch time.

Santiago let out a sigh on how he was going to fight off the monster. Hopefully this will help Gillen live a better life... if he is able to kill the monster.

"So vhen do jou vant to... kill zhe monster..." He asked as he sat in Santiago's living room. He was a bit nervous about the thought of his friend encountering the monster, but he also had faith that his friend would succeed in his plan.

"Anytime you feel comfortable..." Santiago simply replied as he was in the kitchen doing a few chores. He thought of many way he could kill the monster, but some things are limited. He doesn't want to damage his friend too much...

"I am ready to go zhrough vizh it anytime..." He said as he followed his friend to the kitchen so they could continue talking.

"Si.. Tell me when you are ready.." Santiago nodded. He had a few knives strapped to his belt just in case the monster was going to attack.

"I...I am ready..." He took a deep as he said this. Then he seemed to relax a little. "So how do ve let zhis zhing take control of me...?" He asked slightly confused on that aspect.

"Si.." He looked over to him, "I'm not sure.. but I have an idea.." Santiago said as he lead him to the bathroom. "Last time you encountered him, you were in the bathroom, looking in the mirror.."

"Ja... Vhat are jou getting at?" He asked.

"Maybe if you can see the monster.. He might take over..." Santiago nodded slightly, hoping he was thinking his plan correctly.

"Maybe... But..." He shut up quickly. He looked in the mirror at himself, He saw how terrible he looked from not sleeping for just about a month. Soon enough Gillen started to talk to himself well the mirror. The monster started talking to Gillen again "So I heard jou are planning to get rid of me. Haha. Good luck vith zhat jou can't kill me. I vill be vith jou forever and I vill continue to make jou miserable and eventually jou vill kill jourself and I vill laugh vhen it happens. Jou are just so veak." "Shut up!" Gillen yelled at the monster. Something he never realized before was that the monster had the same voice as him but it sounded different. "Vhy vould I shut up my veak little Gillen. Jou know it is true." The monster spoke back. Gillen replied "It is not true... " He stopped yelling and looked at the ground. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, He thought it was the Spaniard's hand but he was wrong, so wrong. He realized he was wrong when he heard a little whisper in his ear. "Jou are going crazy now aren't jou. Are jou scared zhat I can touch you. Haha. I could kill you myself right now if I wanted but you know what?" The monster put his hand around the others neck lightly. "Vhat..." Gillen replied trying to be as calm as possible. In the outside world it looked like He was having a conversation with himself, he was saying both sides of the conversation and it was his hand that found its way to his neck once more. "Zhat vould be no fun at all." The monster laughed taking his hand away from the others neck. Gillen was starting to loose control of himself he could feel it, the more the monster talked the more he felt himself slipping into insanity. He could feel the monster clinging to him. He hated it. He just could not do it anymore he tried to punch the monster but only succeeded in punching air loosing balancing almost falling to his knees breaking into tears. "Why can't I touch you?" He asked. He could feel the monster sitting on his back as he was on his hands and knees crying. "Because I am you." He said simply with a laugh. The monster got up and disappeared still talking to him in his head. "If jou came here vanting me to consume jou, good luck, I am not going to do that. I am just going to drive jou to insanity. And look jou are getting closer." He continued to laugh. Gillen sat up and looked at Santiago whom had seen everything that had just gone on. To him it just looked like he was just talking to himself...He could not see the monster. But he did hear what it was saying because it looked like Gillen was saying it.

Santiago just stared at the other in surprise. It felt.. awkward when the other was talking to the monster. It seem he was talking to himself... Anyway, he remained quiet, waiting for the monster decided to attack. He just wants the damned thing out of his friend..

Gillen just sat there looking at Santiago. The monster used this opportunity to communicate with the Spaniard. Gillen's normally depressed face contorted into a evil smile with murderous eyes. He got up walking over to Santiago he put his arms around his shoulders like he was going to kiss the other, But instead he just looked in his eyes. "I don't see how Gillen loves you as much as he does." He laughed.

Santiago could tell that the monster was in control now. He gripped onto the knife, plunging it into the other's abdomen, hoping to cause pain to the monster.

The monster just laughed more. "Jou can't hurt me. But you can have fun trying." The monster walked behind the Spaniard dragging his hand along the others chest sexually. "Jou know I never planned to control Gillen. I just want to drive him to insanity." He said Right in the others ear.

"I won't let you do that.." Santiago looked back at him, his grip tightening around the bloodied knife. "I will destroy you..." He growled as he pointed the blade towards the other.

"How do you plan on stopping me with out killing your friend?" He asked almost mocking him.

Santiago thought about it. He gave out a small huff, trying to think of a way to kill the monster instead of Gillen.

"Haha. Zhat is vhat I zhought. Jou can't because I am him." He continued to talk right in the others ear. Hot breath ghosted over the Spaniards skin.

Santiago growled, soon slashing the blade across the other's blade. He was getting irritated by the monster's talk.

The monster just laughed louder. "Jou know now I see it." The monster said as he walked away a bit ignoring the fact that he had just been slashed again.

Santiago growled once more as he held the blade up to stab the other. He had no choice. He just wants Gillen to have peace again.

"You really love zhat veak peace of shit don't jou? Don't hide it I can tell." He got a little closer to Santiago.

"What are you talking about?" Santiago asked, backing away a bit just in case he attempts to attack.

"You know exactly what I am talking about Santiago." He was more or less trying to get on the Spaniards nerves and just bother him.

"No.. I don't." He growled, holding up the blade. "I will kill you..." The Spaniard huffed, backing away a bit.

"Jou love Gillen. Zhat is vhat I am talking about. Und if jou kill me jou vill also kill him und jou don't vant to kill the person jou love do jou?" He said with a little chuckle also walking closer.

Santiago paused, a visible blush on his cheeks. It was quite true, he did love him. And he doesn't want to hurt Gillen. But, he just wants Gillen to be safe and free from the monster.

"I knew it. Haha. Vhy vould anyone love him he is so veak. But zhat makes it easy to get in his head." He walked even closer and put his right hand on the side of the others jaw to caress the Spaniards face. The metal was very cold agents the others face.

Santiago's blush darkened. He pushed the other's hand away, shivering slightly from the cold. "It doesn't matter... He is still my friend..." He huffed as he pointed the blade to the other's cheek.

"Did jou know that I can control Gillen's body like this anytime. But there is a really good reason I don't though." Gillen changed the subject fairly quickly.

"And what reason will that be?" Santiago asked, keeping the blade pressed to his cheek.

"It is just so fun to watch him suffer." He laughed evilly. "Zhe vay he struggles to stay alive when I know he just wants his life to end. It is really funny." He added.

Santiago growled, tightening his grip onto the knife. "Enough.." He said, not wanting to hear anymore from the monster.

"Ok, ok." He put his hands up backing away a little. "I see I hit a nerve." And with that Gillen's body collapsed falling lifelessly on the ground.

"G-Gillen!" Santiago rushed to his side, hoping that his friend is going to be okay. He shook his shoulder gently.

Gillen started to wake up. His depressed disposition coming back to his face. "Santiago are jou all right?" He asked as he sat up wincing slightly at the pain of the stab wounds. "I heard everyzhing he was saying to jou..." He started to tear up. Gillen never expected the monster to take control of his body and bother a friend.

"I'm fine..." Santiago had pulled out a medical kit and began to clean and bandage his wounds. "I... won't be able to stop the monster.. If I kill him.. It'll kill you.." He sighed as he wrapped the other's wounds. "Lo siento..."

"I...I know...but there is no need to be sorry..." He stood up and hugged Santiago. Gillen did not normally do this he was not fond of being touched or touching people.

Santiago sighed, hugging the other back. "I want to help you.. but I've failed..." He hugged the Prussian close.

Gillen did not say anything more he just hugged the man starting to feel a little awkward about it. There was not much the Spaniard could do.

He pulled away, looking down. "I don't know what to do..." He said, looking away. "There is not much I could do..."

"I know there isn't... but it relives mein heart to know zhat at least one person cares about me..." He said looking at the Spaniard. The Spaniard looked a little more sad than usual.

"I will always care for you..." Santiago sighed as he placed a hand onto the Prussian's shoulder. "I'll always care..."

"..." Gillen looked at the ground like he was going to say something but didn't, he just nodded and walked away to the living room.
