Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or its characters in the anime or manga. Hetalia belongs to Hideakaz Himaruya-Sensei.
This is a Hetalia fanfic with an PrussiaxOC pairing, so if you don't like it, don't read it.
And if you don't like it, you have no right to flame it or write any negative comments. If you do read this, it's of your own free will, so all complaints should be kept to yourself. This will start as a T-rated fanfic or PG-13: for language, violence and some rude content (like comedy) for all you readers out there. But later on. . . the rating for the fanfic might go up for gore (anime: Bleach/naruto like gore), extreme violence, death scenes and 'spoilers'(very little or a lot, I'm not sure) that I might recommend that you be careful then, when reading it.
A/N: This chapter, will have POV's to make it a bit more interesting (and to show more parts of the OC's past…)
(Songs that I was listing to help inspire this chapter: Roxas theme (ORCHESTRAL) - Drammatica, Kingdom Hearts), Inuyasha's Lullaby (Full), Room of Angel (Silent Hill 4), Lala's Lullaby (Lyrics and ), Pandora Hearts - Lacie (Eliot Version)
Also, once again, I put up translation notes at the end of each chapter, so you can know what each character would be saying in their original language.*coz most of us, don't speak a lot of different languages…at least I think they don't.* I might be doing that from now on, so I don't get every review or message asking what the characters are saying in their native language.
And it would be greatly appreciated if I could get some reviews on this story, to see how I'm doing or if I need to improve it. *PLEASE NO FLAMES OR NEGATIVE COMMENTS= THEY WILL BE DISMISSED IF I FIND ANY!*
So anyway, enjoy the fanfic and onto chapter 3…
Season Of Winter: Pt.3
Sometimes something simple, like a small gesture….can change the course of history. I was always told, that if you wanted to change your fate…
you had to do it yourself…
(Adult Laura POV)
"Look at all this stuff. I can't believe he kept it all this time." Laura thought as she went through the attic, trying to clean at least for a little bit.
As she was having a day off for cleaning, she rummaged through some old boxes, and found something that looked familiar…
She found an old ring, one that she recognized right away.
"So, he kept it all this time, huh?..."
She smiled at it, playing with it for a bit.
"I remember this…it has to be….that first time….
When I was that little…..
When I was still in recovery….
(Past 'Little' Laura POV)
Why am I here anyway? ...and why is he willing to help me? An outsider? And why was I in the snow in the first place? So many questions and yet, I don't have the answers for them….
Maybe, they'll come to me…in time…
The Girl nodded her head, feeling kinda hungry.
She couldn't remember the last time that she had eaten anything, it seemed so long ago to her mind.
Gilbert smiled at her, as he held out a hand to her. The girl just stared at it, not knowing what to do.
"Vhat's vrong? It's just a hand, frau, it von't bite you or anything." Gilbert said, as she just continued to stare at his hand, not knowing if she should take it or not.
She wasn't used to things like this, so she felt a bit scared, not knowing if she could trust him or not.
"It's ok, frau, I'm not gonna hurt you." Gilbert said, knowing that patients was needed for a situation like this. (Even though, patients wasn't his strong suit, he was willing to give it a try for her sake.)
The girl thought it over and decided to try it, as she slowly reached for his hand. She pulled it back a bit, hesitating just for a second and slowly once again, reached out for his hand.
Her small hand went on his, feeling even smaller like.
"See? It's ok, frau." Gilbert said, with a small smile on his face.
She also smiled back, the first smile that she had in a long time.
"You look a lot better vhen you smile, frau." Gilbert said, as he helped her out of the bed, as her small feet touched the floor. Now that she got a better look at him, she felt even smaller, next to the tall Gilbert. Even for the height that she had as being a ten year old girl, Gilbert looked like giant compared to her small height figure.
He just smiled at her, as led her out of the room and into the hallway, with her following him from behind. She held onto his hand, so she wouldn't be too far behind, as she tried to look at all her surroundings.
She tried to remember all that she was seeing, so she could remember it all for future references, but somehow she was having a hard time remembering…..
They continued walking down the hallway, until they stopped at a door.
She wondered why they stopped, as many thoughts again raced through her mind. Maybe he was just being nice to her, because he was gonna do something bad to her…
Maybe he was gonna torture her or maybe worse, kill her…
She started to feel a bit scared as her hand started to tremble a bit.
"Is something vrong frau?" Gilbert asked her, feeling her hand tremble and start to shake.
She didn't say anything, not knowing what to say or do at that moment. Suddenly, a pair or arms wrapped around her, wrapping her in a warm embracing hug.
She looked up in shock as Gilbert was kneeling down and hugging her, trying to comfort her as best as he could.
"It's ok, frau…vhatever it is zhat is bothering you, it vill be ok." Gilbert said, gently, as he could feel her start to tremble a bit. Her little arms, were now around his shoulders, as best as they could and the waterworks started come.
She felt a few tears fall as she began crying, burying her face into Gilbert's shirt. He just smiled at her, as he began gently rubbing her back, shushing her softly to help her calm down a bit.
He started saying some things to her in German, a language dialect that sounded foreign to her. Whatever he was saying to her, seemed to help a bit, as the crying started to turn into little sobbings.
Finally the sobbing started to stop, as she started to calm down.
She looked at Gilbert, her eyes a little red from crying.
"Do you feel a bit better now, meine liebe (1) ?" Gilbert asked her, as she nodded her head.
For some reason, being so close to someone like this…
being held like this…
She felt safe.
Like nothing would ever touch her or hurt her. She wanted to feel safe like this, always.
She never wanted to feel scared ever again…
"Zhat's gut." She heard Gilbert say, as she looked up at him, as he gives her a gentle smile. "Ve can't have you be crying now, before having something to eat, can ve?"
She nodded again, this time, giving him a smile back.
"Zat's better. Und like I said before….you look a lot better vith a smile on your face." He said, putting a hand on her head, ruffling her hair a bit. She gave of another smile, not knowing if she laugh at the action.
"But vhat vould be even better…if you laughed." He ruffled her hair even more as she let out a small giggle as she tried to get him to stop ruffling her hair.
He continued to ruffle her hair, for a few more minutes, as she let out more giggles.
"See vhat I mean?" He said. She tried to catch her breath from the all the giggling. "Now, shall ve try zhis again on trying to get something to eat?" She nodded, feeling very hungry at the moment.
A few minutes later, the girl was sitting at table, staring at the strange thing in front of her….
A napkin…
With a ring on it.
It was lying next to a plate of food, for some reason. She had no idea, why there would be a ring around a napkin.
So she decided to investigate…
By trying to get the ring off the napkin.
She fiddled with the napkin for a few minutes, until she finally was able to get the ring off. She looked at it, as she quietly studied it.
Gilbert let out another chuckle as he saw the girl, looking hard at the napkin ring. He had been watching her, seeing what she would do. So, without saying anything, he just let her do what she wanted to do for the time being.
After a few minutes, she put the ring on the table, and turned her attention to the plate of food, now staring at it.
Guess she had never seen food like that in her life, or so he thought to him self, as he had been trying to figure out where she had come from for some time.
"It's food, frau." He said, as he went over to her as she looked at him confused like, wanting him to explain what the plate in front of her was for. He smiled at her as he picked up a fork and used to pick up a piece of sausage.
"Its food, zhat you can eat, see?" She stared at him as he popped the piece of sausage in his mouth to show her that it was edible. After chewing and swallowing the sausage, he used the fork again to pick up another piece of sausage…
This time, for her to eat.
"Try some frau." Gilbert said as she just stared at him. "Say AHH…"
The girl, didn't know what he was talking about, but she opened her mouth anyway as he used the fork to put the sausage in her mouth.
When she tasted the food, she couldn't believe her eyes.
It was so good.
Better than anything she had ever tasted in her last place that she had lived. It was warm and a little bit spicy, but it was so delicious. She chewed for a few minutes, than swallowed it, feeling happy like.
"Vell, is it gut?" Gilbert asked, as she nodded her head happily. "Zhat's gut, frau. Have some more if you like." She nodded her head as she reached for a knife and fork, as she used them to eat the food.
(She had a little help from Gilbert on how to use them, since she never used a knife and fork before in her life.)
After she had eaten as much as she could from the plate, Gilbert tried to start a conversation with her, trying to at least learn her name. Since she arrived here, she had barely said anything at all, except when she asked where she was.
Maybe she was mute or something?
Gilbert was gonna try and find that out, somehow….
"So, frau, vhat is your name?" Gilbert asked her, as she stared at him, with her big light blue eyes. "Do you have a name frau?" The girl stared at him for a few more minutes, before she said something…
"La….ura. Laura. My name…is…Laura." The girl said, as her name was given, which was now known to be Laura.
"Laura? Zhat's a pretty name frau." Gilbert said, smiling at her, happy that he had least accomplished one thing from her….
He had found out her name.
She looked at the floor for a quick second as he turned his attention to the ring she was looking at. While she was focused on the floor, he quickly and quietly, took the ring and put it in his pocket, to give it to her later or for safekeeping.
It still felt warm…from when her small hands touch it.
It was a nice feeling, like having a piece of her was with him at that moment….
Not far from them, a small pair of blue eyes was watching them, wondering who the mystery girl was that had entered their lives….
To be continued . . .~
Translation Notes:
German Phrases:

And here is Chapter 3 for you all. And I did tell you that it would be emotional. *uses 20th tissue to wipe eyes* even I was crying when I wrote this.

Since Gilbert now knows the girl's name, what else will he learn from her? Will there be other secrets that will be revealed to him? And who does the pair of blue eyes, that is watching them belong to? And why are they watching them?
You'll just have to read and stay tuned for the next chapter to find out! *or you can send a review or comment with your guess on who you think it is* The answer will be revealed in the chapter!
Until next time everybody….3…2…1…PYO,PYO!~
