A/N: Chapter 2. Here we go!
England's POV
I watched in horror as America sat in his chair, sweating like a cold water bottle does in the hot sun. His chest was rising and falling so fast, I was beginning to worry. He looked around furiously-as if he were searching for something. I grabbed his shoulder, in order to ask him what was wrong.
"America?" He watched me for a few seconds, the parts under his eyes were black and baggish. He stared, then his eyes rolled back and he passed out, falling out of his chair. A few countries stopped talking, only to look over in horror.
"China!" I called. The small Asian man looked over angry, only to soften to worry when he saw what was going on. He hurried over, pulling Hong-Kong with him. Slowly each country stopped arguing-only to catch on and watch what was going on. As I looked around, almost everyone was worried, and I could tell what each one of them was thinking: Was America falling? America had dropped his phone on the floor, so I picked it up. It had grown dark, but still hadn't locked. When I tapped the screen I scrolled through to see a news page. Nothing bad was going on.
"No. He isn't dying. Or at least his country isn't in peril.." I saw a few countries relax, like Japan whom had de-tensed his shoulders a little.
"Get me some water! A towel too!" China yelled, not directing his command towards anyone in particular. I peered over to Canada, whom I couldn't find for a few seconds, but then settled on this wavering person who was on the brink of disappearing. I could see he was holding his weird bear, watching with worry. I felt pitiful for him. A few coughs came from behind me. I turned around and saw America hacking off. Hong Kong leaned him to his side, to help him get out what he had obviously been holding back. The countries tensed, like as if we were watching the thrilling part to a good horror film. I held my breath, gripping America's phone. When he finished coughing, Hong Kong turned him back to his lying position and he stared at the ceiling, wheezing. His short breaths alarmed me. I crawled over to his side.
"America..?" I hadn't realized how crackly my voice was. A few tears fell and I hadn't even noticed. He slowly looked over, sweat was still rolling down his forehead. I watched silently-as did everyone else- as he lay there. I reached over to touch his cheek when China slapped my hand away. I pulled my hand back and watched silently. Finally, Germany arrived with a bucket full of ice water, and Italy beside him with a few folded towels. China took the bucket and towel, putting it down beside him. He dunked it in, then squeeze a little out before placing it on America's forehead. America winced a little, as the cold object touched his fiery hot head-but he slowly relaxed.
"Everybody leave the room." China commanded, repeating the process several times. The sharp command got everyone to stand except for me-I couldn't seem to move a muscle.
"Come on Angleterre," France requested, grabbing my shoulders. I could sense the feeling of worry in him when he did so, as he squeezed a little. I slowly stood up, watching America as I walked out.
The countries stood around the hall, leaning on walls or whispering to each other. I hadn't seen a smile on anyone's face after all of that. We all just waited patiently as China and Hong Kong addressed the wounds.
"He'll be fine," I spoke up, staring at the corner to the wall I was leaning on. A few glances from some nations fell on me. "He is the foolish tit known as America after all. He seems to get through even the toughest of situations without much support or artillery." I was quoting mostly the Revolutionary War, as France and Spain caught pretty quick. I thought about ti for a second. He was strong-I'll give him that. I mean, he could lift a bloody car! But I still couldn't help but worry. Him and sickness-well they don't mix very well. A few screams and a sudden slam from the room got everyone to snap back into an aware state. Germany busted through the door, followed by Spain and Denmark whom had their axes for some reason. Germany held up his gun, scoping the room. We glanced from behind as the three made their way around.
"Hey! Over here!" Denmark ushered to the two. We all came over to him behind the table. China was leaning against the wall, a small trail of blood on the wall followed down to his head, as he leaned barely conscious. Hong Kong was near him, lying there with a smaller pool of blood but more scratches and bruises covered him.
"Wait. Where's America?" Japan asked.
"Over here." A new, thickly Brooklyn accent spoke. The mysterious person emerged from the shadow of a large plant in the room, holding America by the throat in a choke hold. Weakly America was trying to pull away, but obviously the disease had weakened him greatly.
"Who are you?" Hungary asked, bravely since everyone else had backed away in fear.
"I'm America!" He yelled, revealing a nail ridden bat that was hiding behind his leg.
"What?" Prussia asked.
"Well my white haired freak." Prussia winced at that statement. "I am. But another version. I'm America! And I'm the villain!" He smirked, still holding America, who was now exasperated from his attempts.
"Let him go." I strongly spoke. He stopped smirking, while looking at me.
"Sorry-not-sorry. I can't since, well I need him. Personal shit you know? Now then, adios or whatever that Mexican guy says." He smashed a window with his bat, then stepped on the window sill. Hungary and I sprinted over, just after he jumped down.
"America!" I yelled, reaching over the edge. I looked down, and saw nothing. They had vanished. I pulled back and stared.
"This is absolutely the shittiest meeting to date," Romano spat, crossing his arms. No one disagreed.
"First off, who was that guy?" Germany slammed his hand on the table.
"Well obviously we don't know," France stated, sipping some wine.
"Mind not drinking when something that could lead to serious problems is going on?" I snapped. France leaned back, then frowned, putting down his drink whilst not losing eye contact with me.
"England-San is right. Think economically. America is a major trade country, and if suddenly the nation goes missing, problems will arise," Japan spoke out.
"Well what if zhere's more to just zhat! I mean what if zhere are more of zhose weird copies out zhere!" Austria spoke out.
"Yeah.. He did look a lot like America so he was definitely a copy.." Hungary agreed, only catching partial of what Austria had said.
"I mean, what if there are other copies. Of us," Austria finished. Small discussions began after Austria said that.
"Everyone calm down. As of right now, we need to discuss operations on finding und retrieving America whilst also discussing the matter of China and Hong Kong's well being. If zere are more, we'll worry about it later," Germany concluded. Italy began to whine a little. "What's wrong Italy?" France asked.
"That guy looked really mean.. And his bat was bloody.. Did he kill someone.. Is America safe..?"
"So many questions.." France chuckled. "America is.. strong. He'll be fine."
"Big brother France.. Are there more of us out there-as in opposite us?"
"I'd hope not."
"Alright. Let us decide who will stay to take care of China, und who will go out and help search for America. Let's do this swiftly, and the majority will be searching." If Germany was anything, he was a born leader. Definitely the best person I've ever met when it came to organization and smoothly controlling the ensuing chaos. But, even with a nice sense of control, I can't help but shake my worry about my stupid, little brother.
