Hi, I'm back with another chapter. Remember now that Anna has been adopted as a Beilschmidt sibling her last name has changed. I hope those who read this in the past like the rewrites. I think I may be making Germany a little OOC. If I am then I am sorry. I kinda need him to be this way for the story to work. I used Google translate the German. Now enough talk from me.

Chapter Three: The Nightmare
"Ugh," I say getting up. I suddenly shield my eyes and groan again as the bright sun shines into my bedroom.
I climb out of bed and walk downstairs to eat breakfast. Once I am walking past the front door a knock is heard. I go over to answer yawning.
"ve, Good Morning Anna," I hear a voice say upon opening the door.
"Morning Feli," I say letting him in.
"Guten Morgen, Italy," Ludwig says walking out of the kitchen. "Anna why are you still in your pajamas?" He continues to say walking over.
"I just woke up bruder," I say feeling odd at saying bruder.
"ve, Doitsu? When did you and Anna become siblings?" Feli asks confused.
"Two days ago," I say closing the door. Suddenly some running is heard around the house.
Three dogs come running towards Feli and me. Ludwig quickly yells "Blackie, Berlitz, Aster! Lassen!"
The three dogs stop and stand there near the doorway wagging their tails happily. I just walk past the dogs into the kitchen for breakfast. Surprised to see that nothing was made yet.
"You have to cook for yourself, Anna. I have to go meet with my boss," Ludwig calls into the kitchen. "Just don't make a mess," He continues grabbing his coat as he heads out the door.
"ve, I am hungry. Can I make pasta for breakfast?" Feli asks me immediately.
"Nein, Feli. How about I make you an omelet instead," I suggest to the hyper Italian.
"ve, okay," Feli says pouting.
"We can have pasta for lunch," I say seeing his pout.
"ve, Pasta," Feli says running over to hug me.
As soon as I am free of Feli I go to cook up some omelets. I am almost finished with Feli's when Gilbert yells from the living room saying in German, "Hey West, what is for breakfast?"
"Breakfast is omelets, bruder," I reply back in English imitating Germany's voice.
"West, you are making omelets?" He then just stares as he walks into the kitchen.
"I guess I can imitate Luddy's voice after all," I say laughing at the look of shock.
"ve, Prussia? What is wrong?" Feli asks Gilbert as he stands there surprised.
"Italy, Get ready for training," I say once again imitating Germany's voice.
"ve, Doitsu?" Feli says looking around. He turns around and sees me laughing and serving breakfast.
"ve, Anna that was you?" Feli asks me confused.
"Yep, pretty good huh," I say setting three plates on the table. "Now let's eat."
"ve, you can speak like Doitsu?" Feli says sitting at the table.
"Ja, I can," I say sitting as well.
"Kesesesesese~ that is awesome," Gilbert says before shoveling his food into his mouth.
"Ja, it is," I say before eating.
For once it was quiet while the two men seemed to quickly demolish the omelets. Once breakfast was done I go to clean up the kitchen with Feli. Gilbert runs off before I could get him. Once I finished that I spend the rest of the morning playing football* with Feli. We just finish the game when the front door opens and Ludwig's three dogs race to greet their master. Ludwig takes them out back to their area of the backyard and manages to lock them in before Feli hugs him. I just walk over and give him a quick hug before letting go.
"Hi bruder, How was your meeting?" I ask walking back into the house with him and Feli.
"Fine, I am going to my office to do some paperwork," he says walking to his office.
"Ja bruder," I say walking into the kitchen to help Feli cook.
A half hour later I quietly knock on Ludwig's office door. He signs before allowing me in. I ignore the sigh and walk in telling him lunch is ready. He sighs in response and doesn't even look up from his paperwork. I then decide it is time to imitate his voice.
"Come on, it is time to eat," I say trying not to smirk. His head shots up instantly.
"Was?" Ludwig says looking surprised at hearing his own voice.
"Awesome I got you to look up from your paperwork," I say in my normal voice.
"Why did you sound like me?" Ludwig asks completely shocked.
"Cause you wouldn't look up. And apparently I can imitate your voice pretty well. It sure shocked the hell out of Gilbert this morning," I say smirking.
Ludwig just sits there looking confused. I then take that time trying to drag him out of his office. Well I wish I was capable of that. I just start tugging on his arm till he actually followed me. We than eat lunch while me and Feli decide we want to spend time with Ludwig.
"Bruder, please hang out with us," I say taking on Feli's personality.
"ve, please Doitsu," Feli pleads.
"I have paperwork to do," Ludwig says.
"You are way too stressed. Let's play," I say innocently.
"Was? I am not and stop acting like Italy," Ludwig says firmly.
"Bruder, bitte," I say switching to German.
"Nein," Ludwig says ready to walk away.
"Fine," I say switching back to English and pout. Feli quickly joins in pouting.
Ludwig hearing my tone of voice turns around and quickly wishes he hadn't. He sees me and Feli pouting and starts to feel guilty. He just sighs and walks over to me.
"Fine, but I have to do paperwork tomorrow," Ludwig says in defeat.
"YAY! (ve)" Me and Feli yell before quickly grabbing Gilbert as he walks by.
"Football time," Me and Feli say together quickly dragging the German brothers outside with us.
We play football with the teams set up as the German brothers verses me and Feli. After a few hours me and Feli barely win. The sky starts to darken and we all head inside with Gilbert grumbling about losing to a girl. I just smirk and stick my tongue out at him. Ludwig quickly disappears upstairs once inside. I suspect that he went to finish his paperwork. Being the workaholic that he is.
I yawn and head upstairs to go to bed. So does Feli and Gilbert. Once in my room I strip off my sweaty clothes and throw them into my hamper. I head over to my dresser and dig out my over-sized t-shirt. Once dressed for bed I curl up in my bed and fall fast asleep.
I open my eyes and see a large meadow before me. I sit up wondering how I got there. I soon decide to sit happily in the sunshine for a while . Then the scene shifts. The meadow turns dark and stormy. I go to walk away to safety when a flash of lightening reveals two dead bodies. I try to run away from them suddenly getting a feeling of not wanting to see who the two dead bodies are.
I turn only to find that all paths disappeared and I am unwillingly walking towards the two dead bodies. I see the faces and scream. It was my parents burnt badly. I turn to run when I see two more bodies appear in the meadow. This time the bodies are slashed horribly and their identies are Ludwig and Gilbert. I quickly run away only to go in circles seeing Ludwig and Gilbert die over and over again.
I sit up suddenly crying and shivering. A warm body is next to mine is clinging to me. It shifts and slowly wakes up in response to my movement.
"ve, Anna? What is wrong?" Feli asks stilling clinging.
"Just a nightmare," I say giving a shaky smile.
Feli didn't buy it. He just keeps looking confused and sympathic. It is when he snuggles closer that I realize he is naked. I stiffen up in shock. Ludwig knocks softly on my door at that moment. I free myself from Feli's grasp and open my door.
"Is Italy in here? What happened?" Ludwig asks seeing my tear stained face.
"Ja and it is nothing," I say letting him in my room.
I quickly shield my eyes as Feli races out of my bed to hug Ludwig. Ludwig takes out of my room and lectures him loudly in his room about wearing clothes to bed. Once they settle down the house goes quiet and I sit in my room unable to erase the nightmare from my mind.
I won't lose what family I have. I can't. I would not be able to survive if I lost more family. I think while curled up in a ball on my bed.
Eventually I fell asleep only to have the nightmare return. The next morning I go to training with bags under my eyes. I barely slept and have no energy. Ludwig, Kiku, and Feli all keep looking at me with concern filled eyes. I avoid their questions and end up taking a siesta with Feli at 3 p.m.
However my little siesta was haunted by my nightmare. I keep quiet about it. I don't want them to know that I fear losing my new brothers. The rest of the week follows the same pattern only with their concern growing more each day. England comes over on the fifth day of almost no sleep. I had discussed finding the reversal for my immortality two months ago. So far he has found nothing.
"England, how much longer is it going to be before you find the reversal?" I ask.
"I don't know how much longer. It is not listed in any of the spell books I looked at so far," England says concerned. "Have you been sleeping at all lately?"
"It is nothing. I just have a lot on my mind lately," I say smiling weakly.
"If you are sure. You really should get some sleep. I will call you if I find the reversal," England says taking his leave of the Beilschmidt home.
I honestly lost track how many hours I spend trying to sleep each night. The moment I close my eyes the dream returns. It is always the same. I am in a meadow watching my family die over and over again.
This night however turns out slightly different that the past four. I wake up with a loud scream. Ludwig comes racing into my room. He is followed by Feli. I am thrashing about screaming and crying.
Ludwig's Point of View
I am jolted awake by Anna's scream. I race to her room with Feli not far behind. At least he listened and wore clothes. I open the door and see Anna thrashing about and crying.
"Anna! Anna! Wake up," I say trying to approach the bed.
Feli just stays near the doorway worried. I finally manage to get Anna to stop thrashing enough for me to get near her. Once I sit on the edge of her bed she clings to me crying. I just awkwardly rub her back to sooth her. As she fall back asleep clinging to me and refuses to let go.
I pick Anna up and carry her to my room. I luckily have a large enough bed to handle the two skinny people and myself. I set her down and I lay down as well. She clings to me right away and we all fall asleep for the night.
Anna's Point of View
I wake to the sun shining in a bedroom I am not familiar with. I quickly sit up and look around wildly. When a deep voice interrupts my search.
"Anna, Are you okay?" Ludwig asks.
"Ja," I say calming down. "Why am I in your room?"
"You were having a nightmare and clung to me so I brought you in here," Ludwig says shaking Feli awake.
"Oh," I say surprised.
Once Feli was awake we head downstairs for breakfast. Once breakfast is finished I am interrogated by Ludwig about the dream.
"Es war nur ein Alptraum, (It was just a nightmare)" I say switching to German.
"Anna, hast du kaum schlafen jetzt für fünf Tage. Es ist nicht nur ein Alptraum, (Anna, you have been barely sleeping for five days now. It is not just a nightmare)," Ludwig says sternly.
"ve, What are you two talking about?" Feli asks confused.
"We are talking about her nightmare from last night," Ludwig says.
"ve, Is it the same one you had when I was in your room?" Feli asks Anna.
"Ja," I mumble.
"ve, I think you should talk about it," Feli says smiling at me.
"Nein," I mumble.
Romano comes in and drags Feli back home at that moment. I try to take my window of opportunity and escape. Germany however quickly caught me and cut off any escape routes.
"Nun sagen Sie mir, was passiert in diesem Alptraum, (Now tell me what happens in this nightmare)" Ludwig says once Lovi and Feli are gone.
"Feine ich werde Ihnen sagen, (Fine I will tell you)" I sigh mentally preparing to tell him my nightmare. "Ich bin auf einer Wiese. es ist schön und friedlich auf den ersten. Es stellt sich dann dunkel und ich sehe tote Körper erscheinen. zwei von ihnen sind meine Eltern und die beiden anderen sind Sie und Gilbert. Sie und Gilbert halten Sterben in unterschiedlicher Weise, aber der Traum endet immer gleich. Ich bin allein und verängstigt, ohne Familie verließ, (I am in a meadow. It is nice and peaceful at first. It then turns dark and I see dead bodies appear. Two of them are my parents and the other two are you and Gilbert. You and Gilbert keep dying in different ways but the dream always ends the same. I am alone and scared with no family left.) " I breakdown into tears at this point from reliving my nightmare.
"es wird in Ordnung sein. Du wirst mich nicht verlieren oder Gilbert, (it is going to be okay. You won't lose me or Gilbert)" Ludwig says giving me a hug and rubbing my back to sooth me.
It helps me calm down some. Gilbert walks in at that moment. He actually walks over concerned about me. I am still crying but not as much as I was before.
"Anna, Du weißt, weinen ist nicht genial, (Anna, You know crying is not awesome)" he says smirking a little to cheer me up.
"Ja, ich weiß. Ich möchte nicht alles, was nicht zu tun ist genial, (Yes I know. I wouldn't want to do anything that is not awesome)" I say smiling a little.
"Westen, ich bin hungrig. Ich möchte jetzt etwas zum Frühstück, (West, I am hungry. I want some breakfast now)" Gilbert whines.
"Ja, bruder. I know. Your plate is in the refrigerator," Ludwig says switching back to English.
The day passes by like normal. I am sitting reading a book in the living room while Ludwig is in his office doing paperwork. Gilbert is playing his video games and bothers me till I join in. I win most of the time. That evening when I go to bed I am able to sleep without the nightmare plaguing me. I still fear losing family but I can at least sleep through the night without it interfering with my dreams.
*In America it is called soccer.
It has come to my attention that any who reviewed this story before cannot review it again. So if you have already reviewed this chapter or any of the original five chapters before you may PM me your reviews of this fanfiction. I am really trying to make it span longer and have her slowly get rid of her fears. I personally liked the idea of her being afraid of being losing family. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Now that I don't have to worry about school, I hope to have the chapters up sooner. Please Review.
