Beauty and the Beast Hetalia Editon
(Lost in the Woods)
In this one I'll refer to Milan's father as Romano since I listed the cast in my last chapter~
Soon Romano was conscious and began helping Milan get everything ready so he could leave. "Damn it that log really hurt." he said rubbing his head as Milan brought out Phillipe. Phillipe was a very beautiful tan horse with a blond mane and tail. The sun was setting as they hitched up Phillipe heading off down the road her father waved good bye. "Good bye papa! Good luck!" shouted Milan as she waved goodbye to her father. "Good bye Milan! Take care while I'm gone!" he shouted back as they headed off into the forest. As Romano and Phillipe continued along their journey they became lost in a part of the forest that wasn't on the map they had. "We should be there by now. Maybe we missed a turn. I guess I should have taken a.. wait a minute." he said as he lifted his lantern to illuminate a sign. The sign's writing was old and faded proving useless to the lost man. "Let's head this way!" said Romano trying to steer the horse to the right. Phillipe looks to the right seeing a dark overgrown spooky path, then he looks to the left seeing a peacefull more inviting path and begins to head that way.
Romano tugs on the reins a bit trying to get Phillipe to listen. "Come on Phillipe! It's a shortcut. We'll be there in no time!" said Romano as he finally got the horse to go down the dark path. They continue on in the dark every slight noise making Phillipe really nervous. "This can't be right... where have you taken us Phillipe? We'd better turn around.. and.. whoa!.. Whoa boy, whoa Phillipe! Oh, oh! Look out!" said Romano blaming the horse until Phillipe began to get really spooked from the forest. A swarm of bats fly out of a tree frightning Phillipe even more causing him to run through the forest avoiding everything until he almost runs off a cliff. "Back up! Back up! Back up! Good boy, good boy. That's good, that's.. back up! Steady. Steady! Hey now. Steady." said Romano as he tried to calm the horse and back them both away from the cliff. As Phillipe turns around the cry of several wolves is heard causing him to buck Romano off and take off running leaving him behind. "Phillipe!" whispered out a frightend Romano as he hoped that would bring the horse back. "Oh.." he said as he climbed to his feet a bit sore from being tossed.
As he looks up after putting his hat back on he sees a pack of wolves growling at him. Romano runs as the wolves chase him seeing him as their next meal. He trips over an exposed tree root and stumbles down a small hill landing infront of a gate to a large castle. He grabs the cate and tries to shake it open. "Help! Is someone there!?" he shouted up to the castle. Looking behind him Romano sees the wolves closing in and panics more and presses agaisnt the gate finding it opens inward. He quckly shut the gate behind him with his foot only for a wolf to grab it through the bars. "Ah!" he cried out as he tugged his foot back from the wolf and scrambled away from the gate leaving behind his hat. He slowly walks towards the castle taking in it's apperance. As he took in the apperance of the dark castle it began to rain hard. He ran to the door and banged on it causing it to creak open. "Hello? Hello?" he said as he entered cautiously. "Old fellow must have lost his way in the woods." came a french man's voice. The voice made Romano jump a bit as he could see no one else in the entry way with him. "Keep quiet maybe he'll go away." said another man's voice. "Hello? Is someone there?" said Romano looking around nervously.
The voices were barely a whisper and only made Romano even more nervous than he already was. "Not a word France, Not one word!" whispered a clock to a candle stick on a nearby table. "I don't mean to intrude, but I've lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night." said Romano decideing the people he heard were mearly hiding from him. "Oh Britain, have a heart." said France as he put his arm around the clock. "Shush shush shush!" said Britain as he put a hand over France's mouth to quiet him. Annoyed by Britain trying to shut him up he promptly puts one of his lit candles to Britain's hand making it bright red from heat. "Ow ow ow ow OW OUCH!" cried out Britain as he tried to cool off his now scorching hot hand. "Of course, monsieur, you are welcome here!" said France smiling happily. "Who said that?" said Romano as he picks up the candlestick for light not realizing the one who spoke is now in his hand. "Over here!" said France as he tapped Romano's shoulder. "Where?" said Romano as he spun around looking for France. "Allo." said France after tapping Romano on the head. "Oh!" said Romano as he dropped France to the floor startled by him. "Incredible!" said Romano as he went to take a look at France.
Angry at France, Britain hopped down from the table to give him a peice of his mind. "Well, now you've done it, France. Splendid, just peachy... aaaaaah!" shouted Britain only for to be picked up by Romano. "How is this acomplished?" said Romano as he looked over the talking clock that was Britain. "Put me down! At once!" shouted Britain as he squirmed a bit. Romano tickles the bottom of Britain's feet which makes him laugh. He then begins to wind the spring on the back of Britain's head makeing him shout a bit. Romano then opens the front of Britain and begins to play with his pendulum and Britain slams the door shut on his finger. "Close that at once sir! Do you mind!" said Britain clearly aggitated by this. "I beg your pardon, it's just that... I've never seen a t-ta-ta aaaah... aah..aaaah.. aaaah-chooo!" said Romano as he tried and failed to not sneeze in the face of Britain. Britan then proceeds to wipe his face using his clock hands in a windsheild wiper way as Romano sniffles. It's now clear that being out in the cold rain has given Romano a cold. "Oh you are soked to the bone, monsieur. Come, warm yourself by the fire." said France motioning towards a lit fireplace in the den.
Romano follows the candlestick as he wipes his nose and sniffles more. "Thank you." he said as he rubbed his nose more. "No, no, no, you know what the master would do if he found him here!" shouted Britain trying in vain to stop France and Romano. All the while the beast was watching from the top of the stairs near the east wing. The beast rushes off as the trio enter the den. "I demand that you stop... right there!" said Britain as he tumbled down the little steps. As he looks up he sees that France has offered Romano a large chair in front of the fireplace. "Oh no, not the master's chair!" shouted Britain only to be knocked over by a barking footstool. "I'm not seeing this, I'm not seeing this!" shouted Britain as he climed back to his feet. "Well, hello there, boy." chuckled Romano as he petted the footstool. The footstool props himself up under Romano's feet as the coatrack wraps him in a blanket. "What service!" says Romano happily as he snuggles into the blanket. "All right, this has gone far enough! I'm in charge here, and" Britain is cut off as a tea cart runs him over.
The tea cart stops right beside Romano carrying a tea pot and a single tea cup with a small chip in it. "How would you like a nice spot of tea sir. It'll warm you up in no time." spoke the tea pot sweetly as she poured the tea into the small cup. "No.. No tea! No tea!" shouted Britain as he climbed back to his feet once again. Romano picked up the small tea cup and sipped the tea happily causeing the cup to begin giggleing. "Hahaha his moustache tickles momma!" said the cup startling Romano a little. "Oooh Hello!" said Romano with a soft chuckle. The large doors to the den slam open sending a breeze through out the room making the fire and France's candles go out. "Uh oh!" said the little cup after he dove behind his mother to hide. Britain dives under the rug for cover while the teapot began to shake. Romano began to shake with fear not knowing what had burst into the room. A large beast enters the room growling lowly as his blue eyes scanned the dark room. "There's a stranger here..." growled the beast as he walked on all fours.
Quickly relighting his candles France timidly speaks up. "M-master Germany allow me to explain... the gentleman was lost in the woods and he was cold and wet..." said France only to be cut off by a loud roar from his master. "Master, I'd like to take this moment to say... I was against this from the start! It was all France's fault! I tried to stop them, but would the listen to me? No No No.. " Britain was cut off as well by a roar that made him hide under the rug. Romano timidly looks to one side of the chair then the other only to find himself face to face with Germany. "Who are you!? What are you doing here?!" growled the beast only frightning Romano much more. "I was lost in the woods and..." said Romano as he started backing away from the advancing Germany. "You are not welcome here!" shouted Germany as he advanced more on the frightend man. "I-I'm sorry" squeaked out Romano as he kept staring and scooting away. "What are you staring at!?" growled Germany as he got even angrier. "No-noth-nothing!" said Romano as he quickly turned to leave in fear.
Germany raced around with amazing speed blocking the entrance of the den. "So, you've come to stare at the beast, have you!?" growled out Germany still quite angry. "P-please, I meant no harm! I just needed a place to stay." said Romano cowering in fear from the mighty beast. "I'll give you a place to stay!" growled Germany as he picked up Romano and carried him out of the room slamming the door behind him plunging the den and all inside into darkness.
