Chapter six
It had been a couple days since the electric rod incident, and America was still recovering from it; so the last few shows had not been as brutal. Even so, Virginia still found herself needing to take care of him daily.
He was asleep when she was doing this that day, and as she finished he awoke with a start; staring at her scared. Eventually however he calmed down when his eyes became accustomed to the light and saw who it was. After this she quickly finished and gave him some food; not a lot of food, but the most that she could sneak in.
She then left him with a shaky smile and went to get as far as she could from that dark basement. On her way, she bumped into Confederacy and dropped her first aid supplies. Noticing the bandages, Confederacy said, "Hi, honey. Went to see America I see."
Virginia was quiet for a moment, and then asked, "Ma, how long is this going to go on for?"
Confederacy gave her a sympathetic smile and said, "Don't worry Ginny, if things continue as planned, then this will all be over soon."
"How soon?"
"If he gives up, then just until the next new moon. If he doesn't, then it could be a little longer," Confederacy explained calmly.
Virginia was quiet again, and then asked, "Will dad be okay after that?"
Confederacy did not answer, but instead slowly turned her sympathetic smile to a sinister one. She then gave Virginia a kiss on the forehead before saying, "Well, it's almost five o'clock. I should go get ready."
With that, she left towards America's cell, and Virginia left towards the front door. She stayed out there during the show, and even though she was not near the room, she could still make out America's screams. After she was sure the show was over, she decided that she had had enough and called the others.
Like usual, the nations had spent the day trying to figure out what to do. They were also fairly nervous for America's safety. They knew that Virginia was looking out for him, but that did not stop Confederacy from beating him. The show that night was an excellent example of that.
In that show, Confederacy had broken his glasses and while holding him down slowly stuck the shards into his eye. His cries for help were so loud and strained that he spent the second half of the cries coughing up blood and several of the nations had to look away. After all the glass shards were in his eyes, she ended it by saying, "Ya always were forgetful. Ya should now thank me for making it so ya can't lose your glasses."
A few minutes after the show, D.C. received a call on his phone. Shakily, he asked who it was and found out it was Virginia. He then placed it on speaker and asked what was up.
"I wanted to tell you guys what I found out," she said quickly.
"And what's that?" England asked gloomily.
"According to M-Confederacy, if America gives up she's planning on ending all this on the next new moon."
"The next new moon?" Romano asked for clarification, "You're certain she said the next new moon."
"Ya. I'm not deaf," Virginia huffed.
Romano then began to yell out "That sadistic bitch! I can't believe she would try that!" followed by every swear word he could think of. When it seemed that he was done with this, Italy asked, "What's wrong Romano? What's she trying?"
Romano then sighed and said, "It more a rumor than a fact about twin nations that represent the same country. The rumor is that if a twin were to break the other twin's will to exist and kill the twin on a new moon, then that twin would gain all of the others land, strength and status. In other words, if the plan works then Confederacy would also be America."
"You mean she's planning on killing dad," D.C. asked in disbelief. He would normally doubt that the idea was possible, but weirder things have been happening recently when it comes to America. To his question Romano simply nodded.
"If you knew about this rumor, then I'm surprised that you didn't try it out," France said jokingly. To this Romano snorted and said, "I thought about it, but Italy's more useful alive than he is dead."
This comment successfully chilled the air in the conference room and caused Italy to begin to tremble out of fear while clinging to Germany. After a few moments of this, Germany asked Virginia if she would tell them where they were.
She paused for a minute and was about to tell them when they heard the door open and Confederacy talking in the background. She then quickly hung up; leaving the nations to think of their next move.
As always, please review!
