Old clothes

Italy's pov

'All I saw was-a darkness, all I heard was-a silence I couldn't even hear my-a own breathing in this abyss. I-a didn't know who I was or-a what I was doing just-a moments before, but I felt incredible-a fear. Like I needed to run away-a from something before it got ahold of me. But wait…what-a is fear? Does anyone really know the definition? Sure we-a might have felt it, but do we know why? ….What does-a fear mean? I have a theory… but I'm-a not so sure anymore.'

"Italy"

'Hmmm whats-a that voice.'

"Italy Vake up"

'So-a familiar.'

"ITALY IF JOU DON'T VAKE UP NOW IM GOINK TO MAKE jOU RUN 20 laps."

"EEK" yelped Italy

"PER FAVORE DON'T-a MAKE ME RUN ANY LAPS CANT WE JUST-a EAT PA/"

"Ve~ what are you-a wearing Germany you look-a like holy Rome"

For a half a second it looked like Germany was confused but then spoke. "I don't know I voke up in zese veird clozez everyone elze is vearing veird clozez too I bet you haven't noticed but jou're vearing a dress."

I look down at myself and I am wearing address but the dress looks exactly like the one I wore when I was a child. Suddenly memories of when I was small filled my head with both good and bad memories. Without realizing it tears started streaming down my face, when I remember the day France told me he killed holy Rome.

"Hey Italy jou ok…."

"ve~ why-a wouldn't I be doitsu." I wiped away my tears thinking that Germany wouldn't appreciate me crying at the moment.

"Come on everyone iz vaiting on uz"

"Ve~ ok doitsu" Germany held out his hand which I appreciatively took, then he helped me up to my feet and we started walking to the others.

I took a look around at our surroundings. Tall gray trees with no leaves were everywhere we must be in some type of forest I look up to the sky 'hmmm the sky is all black and cloudy' I think to myself soon we are caught up with everyone else who were also in strange clothes.

Prussia was wearing his tatonic knight's uniform, Spain was wearing his pirate clothes, Romano was in his mafia clothes, and England was in his usual uniform plus a cape and holding a little book. Also America was in a cowboy outfit, Canada was wearing a hockey jersey holding a giant hockey stick, France was wearing a fancy white ruffled shirt with a blue vest and leather pants with black knee high leather boots, japan had a kimono on, and Russia and china were wearing there cold war attire.

"ve~ why-a are we all wearing different types of-a clothes isn't this a little weird" not paying attention to what Italy just said Romano started to speak.

"Fratello why-a the heck are you-a wearing a dress."

"ve~ I don't know-a but at least I look-a cute si?"

"Just like when you were a child Italy, fusososo you were so cute back then."

"honhonhon I remember when you would sat on my lap while I told you stories."

"keskeskes ita zill lookz cute but not az cute az mein birde."

"Your emabrassing me Prussia."

"HEY HANDS OFF MY LITTLE BROTHER."

"Don't you mean big brother America"

"Whatever England."

"Sheesh such a child."

"HEY I TOOK YOU DOWN IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR."

"WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT."

"Its ok England ill comfort you."

"YOU SIDDED WITH HIM YOU BLOODY FROG."

"Oh yeah I did didn't I honhonhon."

"you nations are so childish"

"what about me da?"

"I have no opinion for you Russia but creepy and scary aru."

"Ve~ looks at me twirl in my dress" I spin in circles giggling this dress always felt so smooth against my skin.

"Roma~ let's get you a dress like Italy."

"No way-a tomato jerk, I aint no-a girl."

"But Italy is wearing one."

"THAT'S BECUASE HE IS-a IDIOTA"

"But you would look so cute."

"TAKE THAT-a BACK JERK."

"Fusososo no way." Romano started chasing Spain around the little area they were in the woods

"EVERYONE ZUT UP, VE DON'T KNOW VHERE VE ARE OR VHY VE ARE NOT IN ZE CLOZEZ VE VERE IN BEFORE BUT VE NEED TO FIND A TOWN OR ZOME PLACE VIZ PEOPLE GOT IT."

I looked at everyone they nodded their head slowly and started to quietly walk north to find people who knew where we were.

It has been about two hours since we have been walking and everyone was about to call it quits when we saw a small town up ahead.

"FINALLY DUDES WE HAVE FOUND HUMANITY."

"SHUT UP YOU BLOODY IDIOT BRFORE GERMANY YELLS AT US AGAIN."

I turned my head towards Germany and could tell by the look on his face, that he was offended by England's comment. So I patted him on the back and gave him a smile, but he just shoved my hand away irritated. 'Ve I-a must have been being-a bother to-a him again sorry doitsu….' I thought to myself.

"ve…"

Germany cleared his voice again began to speak again. "Let's all look around and get information about where we are."

"Uhh sorry to burst you bubble dude but there is no one around."

Everyone except Canada, America, and me fell like one of japans characters in an anime.

"ve~ how-a about we-a split up and search-a the houses."

"HEY AWZOME IDEA GUYS LETZ ZEARCH ZE HOUSES"

"Great idea Prussia dude"

"Finally you zaid something right for once east."

"I was thinking the exact thing, da."

Everyone left me behind to start searching the houses going in pairs or groups of three leaving me all by myself. "Ve…. I said-a it first…it was-a my idea?... right?... I'll just-a search houses too… by myself…"

I started searching houses farthest from the others group starting with a little house that looked familiar. 'Looks-a like the house I lived in when I-a was younger'. I went in getting really freighted the house was filled with the same pictures, chairs, table, and even stains on the wooden floors.

I went into a room that looked like my old room. 'Every-a detail the same, its-a cold, im-a cold and im-a tired maybe just-a little siesta'. I layed down on the bed and pulled up the covers up to my neck and fell asleep.

When I woke up the blanket was on the floor. 'hmmm must-a have knocked it off.' I picked up the blanket and placed it on the bed, that's when I noticed him.

"Ve~ h-holy Rome."

"yes Italia it is-a me"

I run to holy Rome and tackle him in a hug when he completely turns into a transparent black.

"W-WHAT."

"Italia…come with me." The soothing voice turned into a husky whisper sending shiver down my back.

"Y-your-a not." I get up and try to run away but the creature grabs my ankle making me fall and slam my chin on the hard ground brining tears to my eyes. I try kicking it away but its force on my ankle only get stronger. I turn back to the creature and it starts sinking into the ground brining me along with it.

There was only one thing I could do to stop the creature. "GERMANY HELP ME HHHHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPPP" I screamed and screamed for him while grabbing onto the floor with my nails to slow down the creature. after a while, while sinking farther and farther into the ground I gave up, Germany was on the other side of town searching with the others to explore the town. Why helpless little me was left behind without a second thought. Maybe this was meant to happen and fate decided that it was my time to go. I closed my eyes giving in to the creature's wishes with dragging me into the ground but then a hand grabbed my wrist pulling with all of it strength to free me from the creature.

"ITALY HANG ON."

I looked up to the person who spoke meeting my own golden honey brown eyes with a pair of sky blue eyes. "GERAMANY YOU CAME." By Germany I noticed a Prussia pulling out his sword and stabbing at the creature till it disappeared letting me go and the effect having me flying into Germany's arms.

"Italy are jou ok"

I sleepiness took over me but before I fell asleep I said Germanys name one last time before falling into a dream.
