Lovina's POV

I stepped into the house and it became dark. I screamed out, "Feli!" I had to find her. I heard my name be called from the left of me. I turned that way and opened my mouth again to call out, but was gagged. "Damn!" I felt some dizziness, but was standing fine, at the moment. I tried to spit out the clothe. The hand was strong. "Now, now, go down like a good little girl..."

The voice had a sweetness to it. If anyone knew me, they'd know I wasn't a good girl. I let out a muffled scream and felt a stabbing pain in the back of my knees. I fell to the floor and the dizziness really hit me. I was out in a matter of seconds.


I came to being strapped to a chair. "I think we should do the older one and then the younger one. The older one might be smarter and run away." "Ja, now." I looked up moving my head slowly. Whatever they gave me made me woozy... I hope it was something alcoholic...

"Honestly, I'm not that smart." I let out on accident. They both stared at me and then looked at each other. The white haired one shrugged and looked at me. "Assistant... files please." The girl nodded and headed towards a cabinet. I realized I was in a large room and there were nice, fun looking tools on silver trays all over. Well the tools looked fun to use on other people...not on myself.

The light brown haired girl came back handing over the files. "Here, Doctor." I looked up at him and gave a look. "Lovina Romano Vargas. South part of Italy. Has a younger sister named Feliciana Veneziana Vargas. Soon to be husband, Antonio Fernandez Carriedo. You're twenty-two years old and don't work. You used to work at a strip joint until you and Antonio got intimate." He gave a wicked grin and I looked away having a hard blush on my cheeks. There was a 'foop' sound and heels clacking on the floor.

I looked up into pure red eyes. They had a playfulness in them. "Let's have some fun shall we?" I couldn't look away from his eyes. No wonder Feliciana had a hard time looking away from Gilbert when they would lock eyes. There was a metal on metal sound on my right and I suddenly felt a cold tip on my forearm. I felt some warmness leave my face. There was a silver sticky substance on my mouth and I tried to let out a scream as the point slid slowly down my arm. I shut my eyes. I could feel the sting of the pain.

Then the coldness was gone. I looked down at my arm and there was a small cut on it with blood bleeding out. It flowed down the side of my arm and I went pale. I looked back up at the albino and was taken back. His hair had changed from a snow white to highlights of black. What the hell?

I looked over at the girl who had walked back over and was holding a long needle. "If that thing touches me, there is going to be some major pain! I am going to kick their asses once they let me go!" I thought. The needle glistened lightly off the light from above. "Fuck! They were going to stick it in me!"

The girl stuck it into the cut. I pulled my head away and squeezed my eyes shut. I let out another scream. They had just started and I couldn't take much more!


I woke up in a bed with clean white sheets. The room was dark and there was a window next to my bed with long, thick drapes covering it. I sat up and looked around more. There was a dresser over in the corner and a closet across from me. "This is empty compared to Antonio and I's room..." I said aloud. It sounded like I was talking through a mega phone in the room. I laid back down covering my eyes with my right arm. I immediately sat up and looked at it. "How unsanitary!" I whispered this time. It wasn't wrapped and there was a small dark line on it. It was still bleeding!

I traced a finger along the cut. There was a bump that had formed. I put my arm down and laid back again. This time I felt a pain shoot through my neck. I reached up and felt something wet. I glared at the ceiling. These guys were idiots!

Suddenly there was footsteps outside my door. I shut my eyes and laid like I was when I woke up. The door opened and I heard heels. It was the bitchy assistant. I laid still as she walked over and touched my forehead. "She's still asleep..." She sat there for a long time and I was ready to hop up and beat her until she lightly touched my neck where it was wet. I froze. She pulled her hand away as I slowly opened my eyes slightly.

She rose her hand to her lips and licked off a dark substance. I was ready to hurl. She was licking my blood! WHAT THE HELL?

Suddenly there was someone shouting. She turned her head and then looked back at me. She leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Sweet dreams, tomorrow, I'll show you a nightmare..." She gave a wicked grin and pulled away standing up. She headed towards the door and walked out shutting it slowly. I heard another muffled shout and was pulled into darkness.


I woke up again and this time I heard some noise. I sat up slowly feeling dizzy and looked in the direction of my arm. It wasn't much lighter in the room then before. I couldn't see it so I ran my finger along it again. I heard another door shut and feet going up some steps. So I must be on the second floor at least...

I heard them coming towards my door and I immediately laid down and froze in place getting dizzier. The door opened and there was a figure that quickly and silently shut the door. I could hear something on the wall and suddenly the lights turned on. I cringed a little bit, but not noticeable if you weren't looking.

They turned around and looked at me. I shut my eyes fully and they ran over. There was silence and then a scream. "Lovina, Lovina!" "Feliciana? Is that you?" "Lovina, wake up!" I tried opening my eyes, but every time I did, I saw blurs of things. I heard another two sets of footsteps out my door and suddenly I felt myself be lifted onto a back. I opened my eyes slightly and saw red hair. "F-Feli?" I manged to let out quietly. She must have not heard me because she turned around and I heard a loud crack.

We turned again and I saw a blurry patch of white hair and light brown hair. It was the stupid bastards again. I felt Feliciana put me down slowly back on the bed. What was going on with my vision? But along with that, what was wrong with my hearing? I heard some people speaking but it was slurred together so i only caught parts of the sentences.

I heard some footsteps slowly creep away. "Just like her sister, but she didn't put up too much of a fight." I heard a harsh girl's voice. There was a scream and more talking. I wanted to get up so badly! Right as I opened my eyes, I heard a noise and another crack. People moved around the room. "Feli!" I manged to let out. I opened my eyes and saw blurry colors and a figure moving towards me.

I heard a crashing sound coming from the window and I immediately sat up and looked in that direction. "Feliciana!" I heard someone come back in and saw a figure stand in that area. "She fell off the roof. We should go get her now!" A man's voice boomed with slur. I hung my head. "No, she couldn't possibly be... NO! I won't think like that! But, she fell off the roof...and there was a crack of a gun... she couldn't be...dead..."


Feliciana's POV

"Come on! Get up!" I stumbled around in the bush tugging my hair away from branches that held onto it tightly. "Come on! They'll come and kill you! Hurry!" I finally got my hair pulled freed and crawled out of the bush. I looked up at the roof from where I fell. "Feliciana!" I looked over at the car to see a pair of legs running towards me. "Herzchen! Are you ok?"

I looked up into sky blue eyes. They were filled with worry. I smiled and nodded. "Yea, I was just being clumsy." "Clumsy? Why were you on the roof!" He helped pick me up. I looked at him and started heading to the car. "We need to go now! That wasn't Elizabeta nor Gilbert! They were fakes!" I opened the door and looked at him. He nodded and I scooted over for him.

"What do you- Felciana! You're bleeding!" I looked at Antonio in the mirror and he turned his head. Yao and Ludwig looked at me with shock. I looked at my right shoulder and saw a dark spot. "B-blood?" My face went pale and I looked up at the others. "I-I'm bleeding..." I felt my body lean towards the window. My forehead felt cool against the glass.

"Gehen, Gehen!" I heard the car start and speed off before i saw dots in my vision.


"Is she ok?" "I'm not sure. She saw the blood and, in a way, fainted." "Dude! That's crazy!" "Shut up, you wanker!"

I opened my eyes, looking up into four blondes. Three of the four had blue eyes and the other, emerald eyes. "Feliciana, you're awake!" "Ah, Mon cher!" "Shut up, peppy la pew!" "Hush!"

I looked over at Ludwig. "I- what happened?" They looked at each other and the Britain helped me sit up. "You died and rose back to live man!" I looked over at the American and gave him a look. "What?" Ludwig face palmed and shook his head. "You saw your own blood and, uh," "Was knocked out... ohonhonhonhon..." I looked over at the Frenchman and glared. How gross!

I reached up and felt my shoulder. I cringed in pain. "No, don't touch it. I put some of my herbs on it so it can heal faster." I looked over the American's shoulder to see Yao. "Yao..." He looked at me and then away with a slight blush. It was quiet before I broke the silence.

"Where's Antonio?" They looked at me and then away. "He went back to his house and he's going to come up with a plan to stop these scientists..." "When did he go back?" "Yesterday..." I looked at Ludwig. He was the only one talking.

Then reality hit me like a huge punch to the gut and a bitch slap to the face. "H-how long have I been out?" The Britain put his hand on mine. Yao spoke this time. "Three days." I froze. "T-three days? N-no! How is that possible?" "We guessed it was the stuff they put in you. your body hasn't fully used it yet." The thick accent hung in the air.

"L-ludwig," His eyes gave an apology themselves. "But what about Lovina? She's stuck with those scientists!" "We know, but we can't save her at this moment." "Ludwig!" I pleaded. I didn't want her hurt! "I don't want her to go through anymore pain!" I started to cry. It's not that I didn't want her to go through it... I couldn't let her go through the pain...

I scooted off the bed and stood up. I was in Alfred's room... Why the hell would they put me in here? Wait that's another question for another time.

Ludwig put a hand on my shoulder. "Stop, you'll hurt yourself." I shrugged him off and stumbled over to the door. I reached for the knob on the door before I felt a wave of dizziness fall over me. "Lud...wig..." I fell to the floor and was out again.


I rolled over and opened my eyes slightly. "How is she doing?" "She hasn't woken up yet." Silence. All I could see in the light was a dark outfit on a muscular person. "It's my turn...get some sleep." "Ok, night...Arthur..." "Night, Alfred." He sat down in the chair and pulled out a book.

"Alfred?" "Hm?" He looked up from his book. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "What time is it?" He gave a chuckle and looked at the clock. "Midnight." I stared at him. "Really?" "Yea." His eyes were soft and gentle... I wondered if he gave those eyes to Arthur... I blushed slightly. "Why am I thinking about that? Let along, since when did Alfred read?" "Is there something wrong?"

He gave me a curious look and I shook my head. "No, I just...uh..." He gave another chuckle. I laid back down and put my back to him. "Going back to sleep?" "Yea..." I stared into the closet that was five feet from me. "Why were we at Alfred's house? Well maybe it's not... No, we're at the headquarters. They must all have their own rooms..."

My eyes fluttered shut and I dreamt of nightmares...

"Lovina! Lovina! Where are you?" I ran around a dark room. It was soundless and my voice echoed. "Feli... There you are..." I turned around and saw Lovina standing with her head down. She was wearing a white dress. The bottom moved as if the air was playing with it. I ran over tears filling my eyes; not of sadness, but of happiness. "Lovina, I'm glad your save." She was silent. "Lovina?" Her head slowly moved up and tilted to the left. "Why didn't you save me?" A small, silent stream of water moved down her cheek. Her eyes were pitch black. It was as if she had no eyes and only had two dark holes. I stepped back. "Lovina, I will come save you I promise." "You left me for dead, why?" I took another step back. "Why? Why did you let me die?" "I didn't let you die!" She lurched at me. I fell to the ground with her hands around my neck. "Lovina, Lovina! Your...killing me!" A dark spot formed on her dress where her abdomen was. "You left me for dead!" The stream kept going down her cheek. "No, I would never do that! i'll come for you!" "Too late for that..." "Yes... it was too late." Two people appeared behind her. It was Ludwig and Antonio. They both had dark spots for their eyes and mouths. They had blood splattered on their uniforms. "Ludwig!" "You let her die!" "How could you?" I looked over at Antonio and he gave a dark grin. I looked back at Lovina who kept strangling me. The dark spot grew as I felt small, sharp pains in my neck. "Lovina, Stop!" She pulled one hand away and moved her dress upward to pull out a knife that was in its holder on her thigh. She moved it to my neck. "You will pay..." She made a small cut then moved down the middle of my chest, cutting me open. "Lovina, stop! Please!" "Feliciana!"

"Feliciana, Feliciana!" I snapped my eyes open. I looked up at Alfred who was on his knees and his hands held down my wrists to the bed. I stared at him with shock. "A-Alfred?" He gave me a worried look. This time I noticed, his eyes were off. "W-where are your glasses?" He gave a small smile and looked over at the floor. I followed his gaze. They laid on the floor, broken.

I looked back at him, tears in eyes. "I-I'm sorry! I d-didn't mean to!" I shut my eyes trying to hold back the tears. I felt him relax some on his grip. Then I felt warmth on my lips. I opened my eyes looking at him. His eyes were shut and his face was soft. He pulled away as my face grew hot. "Did you have a nightmare?" I slowly nodded, not taking my eyes off of his.

He sat up and pulled me up to him. It was silent except for the beating of his heart. "Al-Alfred, what are you?" He pulled away and looked down at me and gave me one of his goofy grins. "I don't want my ass kicked by your boyfriend." I stared at him as he got up and sat on the bed. "Al-" He pulled me towards him and held me in his arms. "I'm here. The nightmares won't hurt you. It's all right." I started to cry. I never thought the American, who has to be the hero of everything, could be so gentle and caring. He put my face into his chest and rocked me gently. I kept crying until the sun rose and it was officially morning.


"Good morning everyone!" "Alfred, you don't need to be loud in the morning!" The Britain glared at the younger country as Ludwig watched me as I slowly chewed my cereal. "Did you sleep well last night?" I looked up at the Britain. He gave curious eyes. I looked at Alfred who stopped and looked at me. He was still wearing a t-shirt and boxers. He watched me carefully. "Yea, I did." Arthur looked back and forth from us two and then looked at Ludwig.

He shrugged and looked at me. I pulled y gaze from the American, feeling my face grow hot, and looked at Ludwig who had put his hand on mine. I looked up at him. The nightmare flashed through my mind and I looked away, pulling my hand away as well. I stood up and emptied my bowl in the sink. I felt the eyes watching me carefully. I turned around with my head down.

I heard a chair scrape against the floor and saw two feet in front of mine. I looked up. There was three dark holes where the eyes and the mouth should be and a cut across pale skin. My face grew pale and I pushed him away letting out a scream. "Feliciana!" I heard another chair moving.

I pulled out a knife out of the drawer and pointed it at the blonde haired thing. The two figures stopped. It spoke. "Herzchen...kill me...do it!" It stepped towards me. My eyes widen with fear and I felt adrenaline rush through my body. I brought the knife up and swung at the thing. It dodged it. "Feliciana! Stop what are you doing?" The two figures moved closer.

I ignored them and moved towards the thing. I wanted it gone! I felt the knife hit something and I brought down and pulled back. I looked over at the two figures as one moved towards me. I started to move the knife towards it.

Metal on metal sounded through the room. Along the corners, it became dark. I felt hands on my shoulders and something wet going down my cheeks. "Am... Am I bleeding? What is this?" I shut my eyes and screamed, falling to my knees. "Hey, Feli!" "What do you want now Lovi?" "Hey! Listen to me! You have to be strong and get through this! Do you understand me?" "..." "Feliciana!" "Feliciana!" I snapped my head up, locking eyes with a beautiful partner that I couldn't bare to lose.

His chest has a long, diagonal gash from his right shoulder to just to the left of his belly button. "Lu-Ludwig!" I grabbed his shirt and put my head down and cried harder. He wrapped his strong arms around me and held me close to him. Alfred, Arthur, and Kiku watched us with carefulness.


I put my carefully folded clothes in my bag. It was my final decision. I had to...

"Knock, knock." I looked over to see Kiku standing at the door. "May I come in?" I nodded and looked back into my bag going over all the stuff in my head. "What are you doing?" "Packing." "What for?" He started to get flustered. It seems he still had some problems talking to me alone...or maybe it was the Danny issue...

"Oh you know, going back to the house to stay with Antonio." I gave him a smile and zipped up my bag. "Does anyone else know?" "Yea, Ludwig and Arthur know." Kiku stood there watching me as I slung my bag onto my back. I walked towards him and stood looking at him. "Do you know how long it's been since I came here?" "Six days. Why?" "Just wondering." It was a dead silence, until he broke it.

"I-I'm sorry about the sword..." "Hm?" I gave a questionable look and was about to respond before I saw the American standing at the top of the stairs watching me. "Dude, where ya going?" I looked away and Kiku stepped out of my way. "To Antonio." I stopped next to Alfred and looked down the stairs. "I'm coming." His tone was different than five seconds ago. "No your not." "Yes, I am." I started to walk down the stairs and he grabbed my arm. I turned around and looked at him.

"Alfred, if I say no, then I mean NO." It was stern, but clearly not stern enough. "I'm coming whether you like me to or not." He gave a stern look back. "Lovina I s-" I froze and turned away. "No not now... Please not now." I felt his grip loosen and I walked down the steps. I found myself slipping on my old combat boots and tying them up.

No one stopped me as I opened the door and turned to say a silent goodbye to all of them. As I stood there, the room turned dark. I saw a figure coming down the steps and stepping out into the hallway next to the steps. I recognized both of them. One had dark hair that blended into the darkness. The other one had light blonde hair. They both had dark holes for eyes and a mouth. As I turned to leave they shouted at me. Telling me I was going to die at the hand of someone I loved. As I shut the door, I realized...they were the only things colored in that dark place that would soon become my home...
