I looked around me. I could never understand why he would always have his engineering tools and projects in the house and worst of all, in the living room. I turned around to look for Ludwig in this large house of ours. He should have known that we were having a guest over, I thought to myself. "Ludwig! Where are you, brother?" I yelled in my loudest voice possible but there was no answer. I growled and searched each room of the house but he wasn't there. I sighed in frustration. Then I walked into the kitchen and opened our large, stainless steel refrigerator and pulled out one of the many, German beers that my brother had instructed me never to touch. I was old enough now so I could have one. I am about as old as Alfred (America), but who would trust that moron with liquor? How could England deal with it...? That, I will most likely never know nor do I really want to.
I glanced outside to the basement doors. I haven't checked the basement yet, I thought. So I walked outside, to the basement doors. One was slightly cracked upward, I looked at it with one eyebrow raised in a confused and curious expression that I knew I was showing. "What would you be doing down there? Hopefully not looking at your dirty books again..." I said raising the already slightly opened door. Looking down, I saw no light being emitted from lamps that we had placed on hooks on the ceiling. Slowly, I stepped down onto the first step, nearly tripping myself in the skirts of my dress. My hand reached out and grabbed the rough walls of the small area to keep myself from falling. My heart raced but I stepped down again, daring gravity to try to take me down.
Once I got to the bottom, I noticed a dim light in the corner of the very large basement. I narrowed my eyes finally thinking that I had found him. I slowly walked over, trying to be as quiet as possible and trying not to get my skirts caught on the barrels of beer and the benches that we had lugged down here only about a month ago. I got to the small waist high wall that was hiding the dim light and peered over it. I did not expect who I saw since Ludwig and I had believed him to be dead.
"Prussia!" I screamed and jumped back. I saw him jump also, but it was more like he had just had a shot a shot gun in his hand that he had shot and it gave him bad retaliation.
His head slowly appeared above the wall and then the rest of his body appeared, "Uhhh, Who are you? How do you know my name?" He squinted his eyes to see me in the little light that there was.
"Come on, Prussia. You know who I am. Unless you got some brain damage from the last time I saw you." I said still shaken up from finding him.
He raised an eyebrow at me and I put my hands on my hips, "Sorry, I don't remember you."
I sighed. "I do believe that you did get brain damage... It's me! Elizabeth! You little sister! Ringing any bells in that concrete hard head, yet?"
"Elizabeth? You're still living with Ludwig?" He jumped over the small torso high wall and ran over and grabbed my hands. Even in this dim light I could tell he was grinning. His red eyes on my bright blue ones (Which were the same color of Ludwig's). His pure wight silvery-white hair was stained with brown and maroon red splotches.
I smiled at him, "Yes, I'm still living with Ludwig. I don't know how to live by myself. I tried once and I was taken over by England. But never mind about me! What happen to you? Everyone thinks your dead!"
"Clearly, I am not dead. I'm too awesome to die. No one can match my awesomeness!" He said with a laugh.
I rolled my eyes and turned around with one of his hand in my hand, "You never change do you? Anyway, maybe you can sniff out Ludwig for me. Seeming as you can always find him." I heard him laugh behind me and say that it is true that he has the knack of finding him even when he doesn't want to be found. I didn't need for him to comment on what he said but I didn't say anything. I was just happy that he was still alive. He may be a jackass but he's my brother and I love him.
I led him up the stairs and out into the backyard and let him do what he does best. All I did was follow him around making sure he didn't fall in a hole and accidentally kill himself or give himself any more brain damage then he already had gotten through out the years. I could tell that he was having fun raiding through Ludwig's things and searching for him. I laughed as he climbed trees and looked everywhere. Then he turned to me.
"I think he either ran away or he just disappeared or got kidnapped," He said frowning. He really wanted to give him a heart attack and I could clearly tell. We both sighed.
I went into the house and grabbed my weapon of choice. My metal baseball bat. When I came out I was smiling evilly and clearly scared the shit out of Prussia, "Let's go find Ludwig!" I said cheerfully with a hint of evil in my voice. Then I skipped off, grabbing Prussia's hand and dragging him along. I could tell he was scared of his own sister since I felt his hand shaking a little.
I glanced over to the drive way of our house and saw a Russian car slowly make its way up. My heart seemed to have jumped out of my chest and land on the ground before me. I quickly dropped my metal baseball bat and told Prussia to go into the house and clean up and that if he needed to, use some of Ludwig's clothes to change into. I saw him nod then run into the house using the back door.
I looked down at my dress. It was filthy from the trip down to the basement. I started to panic. I looked back up and saw a tall silvery-blond haired man with a long scarf step out of the vehicle. Why now, I screamed inside my head, Why did it had to be now! I ran inside through the same door Prussia had gone through, then I heard a loud banging at the door. The panic only increased when I was trying to get out of my dirty dress and into a new one. Why me, why me, why me. Why did Ludwig have to disappear now of all times!
After I got my dress on properly, I ran out to the front door and quickly opened it. I looked up to the tall man before me and smiled as sweetly and innocently as I could.
"Is this how you treat guests when they come to the door, Da?" He said in his thick Russian accent.
"I am truly sorry! I just had to fix a few more things before you came," I said looking down at my feet.
He chuckled slightly, "It is alright, I suppose. May I come in?"
"Yes! Of course!" I stepped aside for him to come through the door. After he came through , I quickly closed the door behind him, making sure not to catch his coat or his scarf. "Sir, Would you like me to take your coat?"
"No. I would rather keep my coat on," He said walking to the sofa with his coat moving around him. He stopped and looked up at me with his face only slightly turned to the side,just enough to see his deep violet eye, "Do you have any Vodka?"
"I can go look," I said with hesitation, but I walked into the kitchen searching for the beverage that he had requested. I was surprised to actually find a bottle of vodka, since I've never actually see Prussia or Ludwig drink vodka. Truly I didn't care at this point. I walked out with a glass and the bottle of vodka. When I was just about to pour it into the glass that I had brought out , He reached out and grabbed the bottle.
"Such good vodka should be drank out of the bottle not in a glass," He said with a intimidating smile. I squirmed under his gaze and he laughed again. "Hey, where is Germany?
My heart sank, he just had to ask that question didn't he? I forced myself to respond, "I don't know. I've been searching for him all day." I was unable to lie to him.
"Well, that's no good. Would you like some help finding him, Da?"
I looked up at him; surprised that he had offered to help. "You don't have to,I'm sure I'll find him soon enough."
"No. No. I would like to help to help you. Germany is my comrade after all. Oh, and I'm being impolite! I'm Russia. You can also call me Ivan if you wish."
I looked at him, why was he being so nice? I heard that Russia was relentless and cruel, but the one before me is nice and caring and even offered to help me find my brother. "My name is Elizabeth. I'm Prussia's and Germany's little sister."
"You name is English, Da...?"
"Yeah, England took over my country when I was young and gave me this name. My nickname from him is 'Uncivilized Child',"I said laughing.
He smiled, "Let's go find Germany then.."
I looked around quickly, "Could you wait a moment, Mr. Russia? I have to see something real quick," I said glancing at him as he got up. He nodded to me and I quickly walked off trying to find my, now, other missing brother. I went into Ludwig's room and looked around. I went around the bed and found Prussia laying there, asleep. So I just walked out and met up with Russia.
"Everything good, Da?"
"Da." I said poking fun at him like I do with all the other countries.
He looked at me with a angry expression but then It changed to a happy one. "I should teach you Russian. Seeming as you know what Da means, Da?"
"Da means yes in Russian."
"Good."
We both smiled at each other, plainly having fun in our odd predicament. "Russia?" I said as I opened the door and held it open for him even though he ushered me to go out first.
"Da?" He said closing the door after practically shoving me out into the yard.
"I was wondering if you'd like to be friends with me.."
"I would love to. I am quite lonely."
"You don't have to be lonely anymore! If you want someone to talk to. I'll come and visit you," I said looking up at him and smiling.
A wide grin came across his face, but then it went to worry. "There's only one probably to you being my friend... Belarus, my little sister, will try to hurt you."
"I've lived with Prussia and Germany for a good portion of my life. I think I can take on Belarus."
"You don't understand! I have to have a whole savings account just for door knobs! Every insane asylum I put her into, She breaks out! Even if there is maximum security there!" he was clearly panicking by this point.
"Russia! RUSSIA! Calm down! I'll be fine! I promise. Nothing is going to keep me from being your friend." I smiled to reassure him and maybe myself.
In the bushes not that far off I heard shuffling of the leaves. By the seconds that past of Russia and I standing there, my heart beat faster and faster. I slowly moved to the bushes, curious but afraid of what would come out. I could hear Russia slowly following behind me.
Please tell me how I did with Russia…. And how my character is… I'm really worried about that. Sorry that I may have confused you with Human and Country names, I'm sorry if I did….
