"Hello? Is anyone in here?" Victoria asked calmly. A shadow shifted from the corner and moved across the walls stopping in front of the young woman.

"Yes?" The odd, cloaked, creature asked.

"Someone is here. The o-one you sent me a-after. I-I don't know how to handle him." Victoria quietly replied. The odd form thought for a moment and looked in the doorway where a very tall Russian stood.

"Bring him here so I can decide what I will do with him." The creature said calmly. Victoria nodded her head and waved for Ivan to walk in. He walked in with confidence just as he always does in odd situations and smiled feeling no fear whatsoever.

"Russia!" the creature yelled causing it's black cloak to almost fall off his head.

"Russia?" Victoria asked even more confused. Ivan looked around in the dim lit room and looked back at the form in front of his girlfriend.

"Da?" Ivan asked the odd thing.

"Your not supposed to be here!" It yelled more in fear then anger.

"You called me in here, da?"

"G-Go!" The thing growled. Ivan walked closer to the cloaked creature and lifted his hood off. Victoria shrieked upon seeing Ivan do something that could get them in severe punishments.

"Bloody scones! Why would you do that!?" The blond man yelled trying to toss his hood back on.

"You will tell me why your in Victoria's basement, da?" Russia strictly asked with his usual smile.

"No. I won't because she is mine! Get away Russia!" The British man yelled flicking his hood back up.

"Nyet." Ivan simply replied.

"Fine." The odd man stated pulling a bottle that had glowing red liquid.

"No. No. No. No. No." Victoria said over and over again in fear while shaking her head. The blond man tipped the bottle over letting a couple drops of the liquid hit his hand. He set the bottle down and pushed his hands together and separated them holding them in front of him. A ball of what seemed to be fire started to glow in his bare hands. Victoria headed for the door, but only to see it slam shut and here all the chains and locks click.

"Your not going anywhere love." The man called out raising one of his hands. Ivan was about to hit the man down, but that's when a chain slithered around his leg and pulling him closer to a dark wall. He let out a low growl and his smile left his face feeling unsure about how to handle a situation like this.

"Mr. Arthur you-" Victoria said only to be cut of by a flash of fire hitting her shoulder causing her to scream in pain.

"You shouldn't have brought another country here love." Arthur hissed as he threw another fire ball. Ria shrieked in pain feeling another blow of fire hit her left leg burning parts of the clothes and hitting the skin just enough to cause a terrible burn. Ivan couldn't do anything, but watch as he struggled to get loose of the glowing chains.

"Another?" Victoria asked painfully through her clamped teeth. The British man laughed and then turned to Russia who was still trying to get out of the chains.

"You didn't tell her? And here I thought this was your girlfriend. Ha! Your lucky she isn't or she'd be dead right now. Or followed by the others. Ha!" The man stated in between his dark laughs.

"I am!" Victoria yelled still in pain.

"WHAT!? You were supposed to get the others closest to him! Not him! HOW!?" He bursted out throwing another blast of fire at her this time burning her arm again but deaper. Ivan yelled out curses in Russian to Arthur angrily as he watched his flower get hurt again. He threw another blast of fire hitting her hip causing her shirt to burn halfway around her body and stop. Arthur took a deep breathe and calmed down letting the fire be absorbed in his hands.

"Victoria!?" Ivan called out with worry lacing his words. She was trying not to move much as she looked into Ivan's vibrant purple eyes letting his meet her shinning magenta orbs. Ivan saw pain and fear flash through her eyes as tears began to fall and she clutched her burn marks carefully. Arthur tilted his body towards Victoria's and whispered into her ear calmly.

"You may go now. If you speak of this day again you know the consequences." Arthur said and then leaning away and standing up strait. Victoria tried to get up, but she found it to be too painful for her to move.

"M-Mr. Arthur?" Victoria weakly asked. Arthur rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers together causing Victoria to float in the air. The metal door unlocked and opened up allowing Victoria to 'float' out. Arthur sighed and turned to Ivan who was still chained up.

"Well, I suppose you can help the poor soul," Arthur said before adding more strictly, "but don't say anything to anyone. I am quite surprised she doesn't know about you being a country yet."

"I plan on keeping it that way. You won't say a word to her about it, da?" Russia replied calmly.

"Oh, but I just might. I suggest you keep your mouth shut about today." Arthur said as he walked back into the shadows. 'I can't believe Russia is here!' Arthur thought angrily. Ivan's leg was released and he ran out of the door. He turned back to see it slam shut and all the locks bolt together once again. Ivan ran up the stairs and tried to find Ria, but heard a noise coming from the upstairs. He calmly walked up the stairs and knocked on her bedroom door. Victoria gave out a small moan as he heard things move around. He slowly opened the door only to see Victoria lying on the bed crying. He's never seen Victoria cry before and he felt terrible to see her in that much pain.

"Victoria...I have to get you to the hospital." Ivan said quickly as he slowly and carefully walked to her bed.

"No. You can't t-take me anywhere. I h-have to stay here." Ria replied through her teeth.

"I have to help you." He said gently sitting down on the side of her bed. She carefully pointed to her night stand and then dropped her hand next to her body. Ivan opened the drawer and looked through it finding bandages and burn ointment in a large jar. 'I wonder if this happens a lot.' Ivan thought still a bit confused to why Arthur, England out of all countries was in her basement threatening to almost kill her! Victoria closed her eyes and breathed heavily hoping everything would turn out fine. Ivan didn't want to wake her up and he wanted her to feel better and most of all he didn't want her to suffer through her pain. He slowly walked to the left side of her bed so he could apply the bandages. He carefully rolled Victoria's shirt to her ribs and looked over one of the burns that started on her ribs and went all the way down to her hip. His face turned a light pink when he rubbed the thick liquid over her wound. Ivan gently pulled her shirt back down after the bandages were secured carefully around her. He did the same with her leg and was careful not to wake her up. When she was all wrapped up Ivan pulled her soft, fuzzy, white blankets over her. He gently smiled and kissed her forehead then walked out of her bedroom quietly. He made himself comfortable on her dark brown couch down stairs and fell asleep.
