The hotel room: Chapter two
It was the next day of the conference and Italy was skipping happily towards the meeting room. He disliked the meeting as much as everyone else but he always tried to make everyone he talked to smile at least once. Opening the door and walking in his eyes scanned the room of nations to try and find Germany. He found him quite quickly for the amount of nations that were in the room, granted he knew where Germany would usually stand and where he broke up fights and agreement but that was beside the point. He jumped over to the German who was talking to japan in hushed tones. "Ciao Germany and japan" Italy exclaimed with a bright smile on his face.
"herro Italy-san." japan replied while bowing slightly
"Guten tag Italy," Germany replied nodding his head in acknowledgement. "Have you seen Hungary and Austria?" Germany asked. Italy was confused by this question "No, why?" he questioned while tilting his head to the side.
"They aren't here, they aren't the types to be late" Germany answered. He and japan were discussing them before the Italian skipped over. Japan started the conversation by mentioning the loud crashing coming from the room below him, Germany had apologised for the trouble and japan had said it was fine, then the German had commented on the absence of Hungary and Austria and that was when Italy had turned up. "Don't worry Germany-san, I am sure they'll turn up soon," Japan said trying to reassure the German.
"Sí don't worry. They'll be fine!" Italy said happily with a bright smile. Germany nodded his head in agreement "Anyway it's time to start the meeting" he said while motioning to their seats.
The three friends walked to their respective seats and sat through a boring and uneventful meeting. They soon got to a break and the nation were quick to get up and leave. They all went to their groups. The trio that consisted of Germany Italy and japan were the ones which were acting out of character the most today. "Come on, they didn't show up so we are going to find them," Germany told his friends "But Germany, that's a long way back to their rooms and I haven't had any pasta" the Italian whined and gave the german a look which he rarely denied. "I would normally go with you Germany-san but I have to call my boss about confidential things, I am sorry for this" japan said while bowing.
"that's fine japan you may go," Germany said and nodded at him. Japan bowed once more and said his goodbyes then left. Germany hoped that when he looked back at the Italian he would have stopped making that face. He was wrong. "Fine you can stay here. I'll go" Germany sighed. The Italian jumped and hugged the german while thanking him. Germany pushed the Italian away, the Italy jumped over to his brother and Spain. The German looked around the room. He was trying to find Switzerland, he was the only one Germany trusted in his absence to hold meetings. Once he had located him, Germany walked over to him and explained the situation to him. "I understand and I saw them both yesterday, they also not the type to skip meeting so they may have been called back to their own countries" Switzerland agreed to keep the meeting under control. Germany thanked him for the information and went on his way.
As he reached the third floor and room's 102 and 103 he noticed strange things. There was no one there. It's about time the maids do their rounds and they were nowhere to be seen. One single light was flickering above the room 106, he took a mental note to mention that to the staff later. The thing that bothered him the most was that Austria's room (102) door was open. Austria never left doors open, if it was an emergency or not. Germany knocked on the door and walked in and shouted "Austria? Where are you?" when he received no answer. This annoyed the german so he walked further into the room. Nothing was out of the ordinary. He walked into the bedroom and check the wardrobe to check for clothes. 'Everything still here so he's not gone home' the German thought. The sound of a door slamming interpreted his thoughts. Germany ran through to the living room and turned to the door. Seeing that it was closed Germany went up to the door and rattled the handle. Someone had locked him in. He wasn't in a very good mood, to begin with, and this just wasted even more time. Whoever did this would get punished.
Germany started to try to break the door down. He wasn't in a mood to mess around. But he stopped when all the lights went off. 'great, a power cut, just what I needed' Germany thought. Then something made a banging noise. He tried to make his eyes adjust to the low light level and walked over to the window to open the curtains to let some light in. He looked over the room as the sun lit the room. Everything was everywhere it looked like a heard of bulls had been let loose. Everything was silent until a clicking noise came from the bedroom. Something moved past Germany, something was there it had to be. 'Where and what is it then?' his reasonable mind argued with him. 'That's a… good point' he thought and waddled to the door. Setting his hand on the handle and pushing down, he took a deep breath, opened it and walked in. The sight that greeted him… Three dog heads on pikes with what looked like intestines strung about. They look like his dogs. Blackie, Berlitz, and Aster. In between them all was a single beating heart. With was looked like veins leading up to it from the corners of the room. The arteries lead up to the dogs snouts and wrapped around them like a mussel. The blood was dripping down onto the floor making a small puddle on the ground. It made Germany shake with fear. It couldn't be them. They were at home with Prussia. He started to hyperventilate. This was too much he could look at it anymore. The problem was he couldn't move. He was frozen with fear. He wanted to move, to get out of this hellish room but it was like something was stopping him. Tear's started the run down the terrified Germans face. His legs gave in, he fell to the floor. Swallowing and looking at the floor Germany tried to take control of his breathing. Trying to convince himself that it wasn't real, that Blackie, Berlitz, and Aster were safe at home and someone was playing a cruel trick on him. In this moment Germany missed a dark shadow that slithered past him and went out of the room.
Germany shakily got up, still looking at the floor, and walked into the living room. He gazed at the front door, which was now open. He walked out and ran to the elevator. Once he got in he remembered about his phone. Germany quickly got it out of his pocket and dialed Prussia. It rang a few time he answered with his usual ego.
"Hallo, you've reached the AWESOME Prussia" he shouted down the phone.
"Hallo Bruder. I just wanted to check on that Aster, Blackie and Berlitz were okay" Germany said shakily he doesn't think he'll be able to forget that image for a long time. "Ja Ja, they are fine. Are you okay west? You sound tense. Well more than usual" the Prussian replied with a worrying tone.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," the German said trying to make his voice go back to normal. The elevator made a small Bing noise signalling he was at his destination "I have to go, I'll call later, bye" Germany sighed.
"Alright, see you later and don't work too much!" the Prussian shouted down the phone making Germany wince. He hung up the phone and walked out of the elevator. He thought about going back to the conference room but decide against this and just went back to his room. When he got into his room he took off his tie and jacket and laid down on the bed. Evenly drifting off into a deep sleep.

I feel terrible for writing that. Oh well.
Side note, I can't write japan. I was planning on a lot more dialog and action with him but it turned out really bad. So sorry if everyone seems OOC. It's mostly because my writing is pretty bad, I apologise.
As always reviews are appreciated and thank you for reading, I hoped you enjoyed.
