Tai: I am so so so soooo sorry for the long wait! I had gotten a Netbook for Christmas and I had finally written the next chapter but I didn't know how to add it to my story(my friend does that for me), so I saved it and went to bed. Next morning it wouldn't turn on or even charge. Then I lost my rough draft so I'm doing this all from memory. Anyways thanks to all of you who reviewed and on with the story!

Dear diary,
Today I was transferred to Russia's house. He's really scary. He tried to throw away my diary, but Lithuania got it back for me. He said to keep it well hidden. I'm really scared here. But I know it's only temporary because Germany will swoop in to rescue me like he always does.
-Italy
I couldn't help but feel guilty. 'He depends on me and I still haven't found him' I thought bitterly to myself. I was about to read another entry when I heard a loud pounding on the door.
"West! Are you gonna eat?" my brother asked through the door.
"Nein!" I replied. There was a long pause.
"Bruder, you can't keep beating yourself up about Italy. It wasn't your fault." I could hear the concern in his voice. I sighed and skipped a few months.

Dear diary,
Living with Mr. Russia is hard. He works us past the point of exhaustion. I accidentally broke a plate today and he gave me that sickly sweet smile that I've come to dread. Then he started to hit me, he punched and kicked me until I was so sore I could barely move. I thought that was all but then he grabbed his pipe and continued the beatings. He broke several of my bones. I hurt so bad but I know Germany is coming...I know it. So I decided I'm going to be strong. I won't let Russia break me. I'll smile through it.
-Italy.
I felt sick. Why would someone hurt Italy? He's so sweet, clumsy and a bit spacy, but he was the kindest person I knew. I put the book down and settled into a strange dream.
Tai: I know it's short but it's a short story, but there's more to come! Please review. ^^'''
