Chapter 7

Ukraine's POV

I ran down the street not caring who saw. I just ran and ran; I just had to get away from all this. My head continued to throb as I ran away. I need to get away. I wasn't crazy, I knew they thought I was crazy but I wasn't crazy! I know I wasn't crazy; I just had to make this voice in my head go away!

I ran into the woods, if I needed to I could hide from them in here until I had a place to go. I need to figure out a how to get back to Ontario, I needed to go back home. I needed to keep Matthew from finding about all of this. Maybe Ivan or Natalia would try to tell him about it, I'm sure I could convince him to ignore it, I mean everyone thought my siblings were insane. Yes, that's what I'm going to; I needed to keep this from him. I couldn't have him leave me. I needed him, he was my everything, and he was the only thing keeping me from completely falling into this madness that now filled my mind.

"Do you really want to be so close to him when you are this dangerous?" the voice asked. "What if you were to hurt him?"

"No, no, I would never hurt him! No matter how out of it I get, I will not hurt him! Never, I love him!" I shouted gripping my head. "I will never let anyone hurt him as long as I live, even if it's me I need to protect him from…."

The voice just laughed but quieted down, helping my headache feel a bit better. I tried my best to navigate my way through the woods, not really knowing where I was going and having absolutely no sense of direction, it only seemed like I was getting ever more lost by the second.

As I walked the woods became a scarier place, I heard noises some that sounded like birds or other sort of animals and some that I couldn't place. As the night went on I saw figures in the dark. They were just my imagination I told myself but as I walked I felt like I could feel them on me. I felt something touch me and turned to see something that appeared to be a hand, I screamed and fought it off but as I struggled I continued to try to break my way free all these branches they were each like little hands grabbing me and holding me, all around me I saw faces, not normal human faces, but terrifying monster faces. I reached for my knife, I had kept it in my pocket, but when I looked down I remembered that I wasn't in my overalls, those were back at the house drenched in Cuba's blood. I had to use my hands instead; I fought and scratched trying to break through this nightmare. I grabbed the branched and broke them, my face twisted in disgust as each time I broke one it sounded as if bones were breaking, as if they were real hands grabbing me and pulling me. I could feel the blood oozing from them and just dripping on to me and I did it. It showered me in Crimson. A soft giggle emerged from my lips as I imagined it. The sweet sticky taste of blood after a fresh kill, it called to me, I ran from the stick that had pulled me without paying attention, just lost in my fantasy. Blood, wonderful blood dripping from the sky and staining my white night-gown as I danced, it was amazing, I could almost taste it as each drop fell to my hair and then dripped down to my pink tongue. I moved and didn't see where I was going and crashed into a stranger, nearly knocking me and this odd person over. I snapped into my right state of mind, just as my body snapped back off of theirs.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I said apologizing. It was too dark to see, but as I looked up at this man I could see the outline of his features. He looked familiar.

"K-Katsuyasha is that you?" Toris asked. I recognized him instantly as I heard his voice. Ah, yes it was Lithuania, of course it was.

"Toris, what are you doing out here so late?" I asked. I saw him pull out his flashlight I prayed that he didn't notice that I was barefoot and wearing a nightgown…and strangely walking out of the woods….

"Oh, um, now and then I go out for a walk after I get Ravis to bed. Why are you out here so late Katsuyasha? Russia has looked everywhere for you! He and Belarus are really starting to freak out, they are very worried about you," he told me. I tried to look calm as if I belonged here and this was all a big misunderstanding.

"Um, well, like you I like to go for walks at night, yeah, I usually go around the city, back by Matvey's house, yes, it annoys the hell out of him, but it calms me down so it is alright," I said, I even added a smile to try to convince him, it didn't really seem to work.

"Um…Katsuyasha…why don't you have any shoes on…and why are you in your pajamas?" he asked very confused, and concerned. He wasn't buying it. He was suspicious, I just knew it. I looked down and tried to make myself look surprised.

"Oh my, it seems I've lost my shoes…back in the woods…and I forgot to change my clothes…my where has my mind gone…I really must be getting old, I've got so forgetful lately," I laughed and lightly patted my head trying to look old and pathetic. He still didn't look sure. I didn't blame him. I had the body of a 25-year-old. I was Russia's hot older sister; I looked nothing like some sort of pathetic old woman with a mind that is withering away.

"Y-you know what, I think it is time for you to go home, Katsuyasha… you are acting very weird, and your brother and sister are very worried about you, I think it is probably best to just take you home," he put his arm around me as if he were guiding me as if I had some sort of probably or disability, as if I was insane or something. He thought I was insane! No, I couldn't let him take me back to brother Russia and Belarus! I wouldn't let him take me back! I tried reasoning with him.

"No, no, I'm fine really, I just started my walk, I'll go back when I begin to get tired," I said trying to convince him.

"I'm not sure…I don't feel right about this…Russia said he had to find you, that you did something, and he needed to stop you before you did something terrible. I'm not sure I should just leave you out here," Lithuania said.

"Please, Toris, it's fine, I'm a big girl, I can handle myself, when I start getting tired I'll head back, I promise," I told him.

"But what about when what he said about stopping you from doing something," he asked. Dammit, couldn't he be an idiot like the rest of them!

"Oh, that," I smiled at him to try to remind him how I used to be, so afraid of hurting someone and always apologizing, and such a sweet, innocent girl. "Well, Cuba and I got into an argument and he thought I possibly may still be mad at him, brother is just being silly. He is such a worry wart sometime, it adorable, anyway yeah, I think I will just finish my walk," I said trying to walk away. He grabbed my shoulder, I had to fight the urge to turn around and knock his lights out right then and there.

"No, if I let you go, and Russia finds out he will be very upset at me, and that means I'll get in trouble, I can't let that happen, you haven't seen what he is like to me and my brothers when he is angry, I need to get you back, there is no way I am leaving here without you," he said. His eyes said he was scared, but his face look determined. I decided to try to plead. I would not let him take me back, I had no idea what Russia and Belarus would do to me, but I knew it wasn't going to be good, they know that I killed 2 countries, not even they have gone that far… it was different if it was a war or something, but I just killed them in cold blood. They would surely turn me in, Russia was still trying to be friends with Germany, he might tell Germany that I was the one killed Prussia, and even worse Matvey would hear everything about me, I would never let that happen, I needed Matvey, he was the last thing I had, he was my world.

"Please, please, you can't take me, please, he won't find out that you saw me I'll make sure of it, and he won't know a thing!" I begged.

"No, no, you don't know him, he always has a way of knowing things, I can't just let you go away, he'll know, I don't know how, but he has put me, my people and my brother through some hard stuff already, I can't let that happen again. I can't look in my little brother's eyes and know that he is suffering now because I let you go!" He shouted.

I tried a different approach. "Please, please, I'll do anything I said looking up at him, I tried to look at him in a feminine alluring way, I even raised my arms and crossed them under my boobs, trying to make them look better, I just needed to get out of here, it didn't matter what I had to do. I feel like I would go insane if stayed in this damn country any longer.

He looked at me confused, and completely uninterested. Dammit, I forgot! He is dating Poland, the biggest flaming country in the world! He was more than just gay; of course nothing would work on him! Fuck, it looks like there was only one more thing left to do.

"A-alright, I'll go with you," I said. I looked down looking like I was upset about it.

"Thank you so much," he said. "I'm really sorry about this but it's something I need to do." I nodded.

"I understand," I said. "Just one more thing really quick, would you mind getting my shoes, I think I left them there, right by those bushes," I said pointing over to a bush a few feet away. He nodded and walked over bending down and searching through the bushes and piles of leaves.

I acted purely on instinct. I told myself it was okay because he was suffering so much. Brother had put him through hell and it didn't look like he would even escape, I was doing him good. This was a good thing, euthanasia.

I grabbed a large stone I found on the ground and picked it up. It was nice and heavy, good; this would make the job easier. I walked up behind him quietly and watched as he bends down, no sense of the danger he was in.

"I don't think they are here, I can't see" that's all he was able to get out before I hit him. I slammed the stone against his head and he fell on to the ground, a gurgling noise escaping him. I knelt and continued to hit him in the head over and over. His brains and bloods splattered everywhere. I got so into it that I kept slamming and slamming the stone into his head until he barely had a head left. I dropped the stone and stood up and licked the blood I could reach with my tongue. I laughed a little from exhilaration. Why did something so bad feel so damn good~
