A/N: I got bored and this is definitely shorter than my other, so I may get on and add more to this chapter later, but enjoy for now!

Disclaimer: I will own Hetalia when I meet Flying Mint Bunny.


~Alfred's POV~

Why... I kept out of sight as she walked away. Francis went inside as I stood. I walked with my head down, shuffling my feet. I looked up, I was still in the Beilschmidt's yard, I saw Gilbert staring blankly at the sky from the black rooftop.

I threw an acorn at him, it landed beside him and clattered off the roof. He turned, is eyes wide with surprise when he saw me. "Al? Vhat are you doing here?" I started climbing the big oak that I had been hiding behind. "I needed somebody to talk to." I jumped from one of the branches to the roof and sat down beside him.

"Vhy not Francis or Rosa?" I looked at my feet and shuffled them on the rough surface. "They're a couple..."

"Ve both lost the girl ve love, you to another man, me to tragedy." He sighed. I smiled suddenly and elbowed him in the ribs. "Getting a little poetic, aren't ya." He grinned along with me and rolled his eyes. "It's nice we can still smile and joke around at times like these."

"Ja, I'm going to go take an awesome nap! See ya, Al!" He jumped into his window, ninja style, I jumped in the tree and headed home.

*~*~*~Timeskip~*~*~*

I decided I would go get icecream before I went home. So here I was, walking home, with icecream, alone. Alone...like Maddie was. I looked over my shoulder for anything suspicious. Sure enough, a gunshot, and a bullet in the wall beside my head. I started to run, I dropped my icecream to search for my phone in my pocket. I pull it out real quick, just to have it shot out of my hand.

I run faster and faster and finally duck into a laundromat. Nobody followed me in, so I was just going to wait.

~Rosa's POV~

I wanted to call Al, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I might have hurt him with what I said, though, he did tell me to go die, but we'll ignore that minor detail. So that's what I did, I pulled out my phone and called him.

"This number no longer exis-" The machine lady started to talk, but I stopped her. I called Al's parents.

"Hello?" I heard his mom's voice on the other end of the line. "Is Al there?" I heard a noise that sounded like sniffling. "No, he went missing. We found the remains of his phone, a bloody hand print, and an icecream cone in the same general area." I felt shocked. What if he's...no, Rosa, don't think about that. "The police are searching for him now." I hear a faint knock from the other line. "I have to go now, I'll tell you if we find anything." I set my phone down and laid down. I looked at the ceiling.

I got phone call. "This is Silence. All you need to know is my name, and nothing else." Blast those bloody voice changers! "What have you done to Alfred!" I practically yelled into the phone. "That is for me to know and you to find out." They hung up.

What if we never find Al? What if Silence has done something to him? What if we find him, but he'll never be the same? What if we do find him, but it's too late... Rosa, don't think about that. But just what if...

~Francis's POV~

The phone rang, so I picked it up. "Francis! I just got a call from Silence and they have Alfred, but I have absolutely no leads or anything all I have is Silence, but I don't even know their gender or-" I cut her off, she can get like Alfred when panicked and talk really fast. "Slow down and start over, one little detail at a time." I smirked. "I called Al's phone, but it said that number wasn't active anymore, so I called his parents."

"Mhmm."

"They said that Alfred went missing and all they found were the remains of his phone, a bloody hand print, and an icecream cone."

"Mhmm."

"So, I got a call from Silence."

"Wait, how do you get a call from silence?"

"Not silence, Silence. It's a person."

"Mhmm."

"But they used a voice changer, so I have no leads and all they told me was that they have Alfred, but nothing else." Darn those voice changers.

"I'm going to call Gilbert."

~Gilbert's POV~

Haha, I lied to Al. No way the awesome me is going to take a nap, no matter how awesome that nap is. I turned on the TV and there was the story on Maddie. I was about to turn it off, when the story changed to Al, I wasn't that shocked actually. I kinda expected him to go after his twin. "16 year old Alfred Jones missing, the day after his twin sister, Madeline, was murdered." I flipped off the TV. None of this was good.

"Hey Vest!" I opened my door and slid down the handrail, into the kitchen. "Vhat, bruder?" He sounded annoyed. I smirked and sat on the counter. "Are you inviting Feliciana over today?" He blushed, and continued cleaning. "If that is all your going to ask, go avay."

"Oh, come on Vest. Fine, did you hear about Madeline and Alfred?" He nodded. "I vas just vatching the news."

I tried to hold back my tears, but one, just one tiny tear, broke through. It slithered down my cheek and I looked at the counter top sadly. West stopped cleaning to look at me, then went back to his cleaning. You see, West isn't the best at comforting people, but he's still a good brother.

I heard the Prussian national anthem go off and I looked at my phone. West was gone. I shrugged, not really caring where he went. "Hallo?"

"Hello, Gilbert." I shut my eyes. Of course. They used a voice changer. "Who is zhis and how do you know my name?"

"Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert. Don't you recognize me? Don't you miss me? You know very well who this is and my reasoning." My eyes widened. "Y-you, y-y-you're-"

"See now you recognize me. Well, you may not recognize my reasoning, but you're smart for the most part and I'm pretty sure you can guess. I'm only answering one question."

"But why?"

"Why you ask me? You ask me why? Why not 'where are you?' or 'how can I get Al back?'. It's pretty obvious that you don't care for his safety. That was your only question and I'm not going to answer anymore."

"W-wait, can I take it back and you didn't even answer!"

"I did answer, Gil. Just in my own way."

"Don't call me Gil, you have no right to after what you've done!"

"Watch your back Gil, you tell anyone, you put their lives at risk."

"Thanks for the warning..."

"Don't mention it." They hung up. "Silence can't kill all zhe police at once..." My phone started playing Prussia's national anthem again. "Vhat do you vant, you twisted minded savage?!"

"Bonjour to you too, Gilbert." I calmed down at the voice of the Frenchman and I cleared my throat. "Sorry, Francis. I though you were someone else."

"Like Silence?" I stiffened at the mention. "H-how did you know?"

"Rosa called, she was really freaked out. All Silence told her was that their name was Silence and that what they did to Alfred was for them to know and her to find out. Did you have anymore luck?"

"N-nein." My voice was shaky and I knew it. Francis did too, he knows I know something. "Gilbert, what do you know?" I took in a shaky breath. "I-I'm sorry, but I c-can't tell you."

"Gilbert." His voice was stern. "Nein! I can't, I'm sorry Francis, but I can't and I won't!"

"Gilbert, you must tell me. It could make a real difference! We could catch Maddie's killer!" I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see it. "Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein! Auf Wiedersehen, Francis." I hung up before he could say anything else and the phone play the Prussian national anthem over and over again, until I finally took the batteries out and locked my phone away. I jumped out the window and ran. And I didn't stop.

~Alfred's POV~

It was dark, cold, and all the other creepy factors of a scary dungeon where people are kidnapped and kept. "I am Silence, the dark and cold and well, silent one. My name is Silence, because I leave no clues, nothing, but Silence and mystery. You shall do what I say or meet your sister. Shadow is my companion, Shadow shall guard you. If you take one step out of line, Shadow has permission to kill you. Do you understand?" Darn voice changers. I scowled. "What do you want with my family?" Silence's eerie laughter filled my ears. "I'm done with your family, I just took you by circumstance."

"Silence!" I heard a familiar voice, I just couldn't remember who it belonged to. "What Shadow?" I could hear the coldness in Silence's voice through the voice changer. "We found the next victim's current location."

"Good." I heard them leave the room, once again cold, dark, and alone.

~?'s POV~

That wasn't as easy, as I expected. I have to be cautious not to be caught. But what should I do now that I have him? Sure, he isn't the person I wanted, I just grabbed him due to circumstance.

Should I kill him or keep him for ransom? "Silence, he's escaped!" I snapped my head to look at my companion. "But, Shadow, how did he escape?!" I watched Shadow's shoulders shrug in the darkness. "If you want something done, do it yourself." I muttered to myself and stalked off to find him.

~2nd ?'s POV~

I walked in to go check on Alfred, only to find his ropes cut. I checked him and took every weapon away! How could this happen! This is not going as planned. He wasn't even the right person to begin with! Silence isn't going to be happy, when I break the news. It may sound like I'm serving Silence or something, but we are equals! Right?

It doesn't matter, I know we're not...but who cares. As long as Silence is happy, I'm safe. But I don't know Silence's real name. I don't even know Silence's gender since they use a voice changer and wear a black cloak. But Silence knows everything about me and everyone else. It's scary.


A/N: Yep, I decided to continue. Short chapter...I FEEL SO ASHAMED! This is what I get for being bored and not waiting for people to review and not leaving my chapter alone on my iPod. So yeah, SOMETHING SHALL BE DONE ABOUT THIS! I also may have put a hint about the killer, I know it's a little early, but I want you to guess who the killer is. So, Gilbert knows something about Silence, SILENCE SHALL REMAIN A MYSTERY FOREVER LEAVING WONDER IN YOUR MIND! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just be thankful it's not as short as some other people's chapters. Can you guess who the next victim is? And can you guess who Shadow is? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW!
