Chapter 7: Blood and Tulips.
-x-x-
"Gilbert come on!" said a happy voice, Gilbert looked up and stared at a very beautiful woman running ahead of him holding onto a basket, both him and the woman were walking up a hill with one tree while around them was a forest and a small lake not to far from where he could see. He smiled at the woman who held onto the basket and told him to hurry up. She had a beautiful smile and a stunning body, her smile was soft and her eyes looked like the Northern Lights themselves, she had short blonde hair that somewhat waved in and out on her face, she looked stunning in his eyes.
She stood near the top of the hill near the one tree and he smiled at her, he started to run to catch up with his birdie, his smile faded when he noticed he wasn't getting closer to her, she stood still as he ran but each time he ran she would get farther and farther away from him…
"Gilbert? Gilbert come on, hurry up…" her voice said but it was getting farther and farther away from him, he kept running faster and faster but he got nowhere.
"Gilbert…" her voice was so far away he hardly heard her, he looked up and saw the hill and everything was fading away from him, and he was stuck in the darkness that now surrounded him.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her you bloody Git…" a cold voice said before another said "Looks like we're going to have to show him what happens to those that don't listen to us…"
Gilbert looked back and his eyes widened as he saw two dark masses with creepy smiles looking at him, one was holding a gun and the other a old book but it was giving off a powerful feel.
"Gilbert,… Gilbert wake up… Come on wake up…" a new voice said, it was female and he knew that voice but it didn't belong to his Mattie, he didn't have time to think who it was because the two black masses were about ready to corner him.
"Damn it to hell, wake up!" the voice yelled out and suddenly Gilbert felt like someone had just hit him with a frying pan…
-x-x-
Hungary had enough of Gilbert not waking up when she told him to, so to get the lazy white haired ex-nation up she hit him with her frying pan sending him off the couch and to the wall…
"WHAT THE HELL?" Gilbert yelled out when he woke up from the frying pan hit and the hit on the wall, Gilbert stopped when he noticed Hungary standing in the room with her frying pan, behind her was Austria, Germany, and N. Italy.
N. Italy seemed worried about him hitting the wall as both Germany and Austria sighed at him and Hungary.
Elizabeta looked down to Gilbert who yelled out "What the hell was that for you crazy woman!" her hand twitched for her pan again but was able to calm herself down and was able to say "We need to talk Gilbert, right now…"
Gilbert somewhat gulped at that tone of voice…

Mattie sighed as she flipped through books in her small library room that wasn't huge or big. She had given her bedroom to her brother Alfred while Arthur had taken the only spar room she had and Francis slept on the couch in her living room. The reason why was because she didn't want Alfred to fight with Arthur or Francis if they shared the spare room, same could be said about Arthur, and Francis had offered to sleep in the living room. When she first gave her room to Alfred, he freaked out saying 'Its okay I'll sleep somewhere else, I know I'll sleep on the roof!' but since Mattie was always nice to him she told him it was alright and that she'll sleep in her book room which had a small couch just for her to sleep on.
She was still angry at Alfred and Arthur for almost destroying her happy memories with Gilbert but due to the fact she'd be able to see him this upcoming weekend made her almost forget what they did, almost. She'll just be nice for now, even when she wanted to hit them upside their heads though.
Mattie had woken up an hour ago, the sun wasn't even up yet, and she was currently reading a few books to pass the time, she was always a early waker. Mattie stopped reading when she heard a sound, she looked up to the door to the room and watched the door open slowly, she then could see Alfred pop his head into the room "Hey Mattie you up?"
"Yeah I'm up Al…" Mattie said as she closed the book she had and set it to the side of her on the couch, Alfred smiled and opened the door more before he stepped in. Alfred was all the way in the room and softly closed the door behind him before looking at his now sister.
She was wearing a simple white night gown that Arthur bought for her while they went shopping, nothing to fancy, it was made of silk if he could remember right, her hair was placed on her left shoulder and it loose since she didn't have it in a ponytail or anything, her glasses were hanging a bit off of her nose and she had a very graceful smile on. All in all, she looked nice and very pretty.
Alfred walked into the room and walked to his sister, he gave her his 'Hero' smile and sat down on a chair near the couch Mattie sat on. Both North American siblings smiled softly at each other before listening to the sounds of the breeze from outside hitting the trees, making the branches of the trees sway softy against the house.
"So…" both siblings said trying to get a conversation going, both stopped and chuckled at the fact they said that at the same time. "You go first." both once again said, and again both chuckled at this. Alfred stopped chuckling and Mattie stopped giggling after a while again. Mattie waited before saying "You go first okay Al?"
Alfred grinned and nodded before asking "Mattie I was wondering… Why didn't you tell me? I mean I know why you didn't want to tell but why didn't you tell me and not anyone else? I could had kept it a secret you know…" Mattie seemed surprised that Alfred asked her that but she sighed and looked down before trying to say "Alfred… I just couldn't… I…" the words didn't come out but she knew what she wanted to say.
Alfred waited before smiling softly and saying "Hey, its alright. I was just wondering I guess…" his voice soon changed to his 'I'm a Hero!' voice as he said "Hey Mattie I'm hungry! How about you make us some pancakes!" Mattie looked up before giggling a bit to herself and nodding, knowing her brother wanted to change the subject.
Mattie rose from the couch and started to the door, Alfred right behind her, both North American siblings just smiled at each other before heading off to make breakfast.

Arthur woke up to the smell of food cooking and the clanking of plates, he groaned a bit before turning over to look at the clock, it was kind of early wasn't it? He was about ready go back to sleep but stopped when he heard a sudden crash and a small gasp.
Jumping up Arthur was startled a bit before hearing a voice mutter in a bit of anger "Merde…" and then he heard Alfred voice say "Crap Mattie, you okay?" instantly Arthur got up and picked up his pants and shirt he had placed neatly on a table next to the bed, he quickly put his pants on and struggled a bit to get his shirt on but none the less got out of the room in record time.
Mattie's spare room wasn't to far from the kitchen as a matter of fact it was right next door to each other, he opened his door and went down the hall a bit before entering the kitchen.
On the floor Mattie was holding onto her arm in pain, next to her was a broken plate and pancakes all over the floor, Alfred was by her side asking if she was alright. Mattie only smiled in pain and nodded before both siblings looked up to see Arthur standing in the archway of the kitchen, his eyes wide as he saw the blood running down the arm Mattie was holding with her other hand.
"What happened in here? Are you okay Matthew?" Arthur asked truly worried for the first time in a long time for Canada, he had forgotten how it felt to worry about the younger nation, he hadn't worried liked that in a long time, not since Canada was still under his care, and he was not used to the idea of Canada being a woman so he still called her Matthew. Both siblings seemed surprised by the caring tone but Mattie spoke first "I'm fine Arthur, really. I just slipped on some water I forgot to clean up yesterday and the plate I was holding broke, some of it cut my arm but its nothing bad, I'm okay…"
Arthur didn't hear what she said he was to busy watching the blood drip down Mattie's arm, instantly he went over to help Mattie up which surprised both of them as he said "God your bleeding badly, come on and get up from the floor, we need to clean that wound up. Alfred don't just sit there you bloody Twat, go look for the first aid kit for Matthew."
Alfred then said childishly at Arthur "Her names Mattie, not Matthew anymore Iggy! Get it right!" Arthur didn't care and he smacked Alfred upside the head, causing Mattie to blink confused at how they were acting with each other, he glared at Alfred and said "I don't care, just go get that bloody first aid kit."
Alfred glared and was going to pout but he stopped when he noticed the blood on Mattie's arm was causing her to flinch in pain a lot, he didn't protest after that and he went to go look for the first aid kit he knew Mattie had since she would normally be the one to patch him up because well… He was America after all.
Arthur helped the poor girl up, Mattie was still holding her bleeding arm, in both pain and confusion on why Arthur seemed so caring about her, normally Arthur wouldn't even notice her hurt, heck he hardly noticed her at all! Arthur lead Mattie to the front room, and both stopped, Francis was sleeping on the couch and seemed knocked out fast with a bottle of wine in his hand, Arthur's eye twitched a bit at the fact Francis drunk himself to sleep and Mattie's eye twitched because it was her bottle of wine he had drink, she normally doesn't drink but she was planning on saving that bottle for a special day.
"Wake up you wine bastard!" Arthur yelled as he let Mattie go and went over to kick the sleeping wine bastard off of the couch so Mattie could sit down, Francis woke as he was kicked off of the couch and onto the floor. Arthur huffed annoyed before going back to Mattie and helped her sit down, he began to inspect her arm to make sure no shards were in it, so far nothing seemed to bad, the only thing was that she was bleeding and that was it.
"What is going on?" Francis asked out confused on why he had just been kicked off of his sleeping place, but as he looked to Arthur and his little Madeline, he had then noticed the blood running down her arm, he gasped but had time to ask "Madeline, mon dieu, ce qui s'est passé à votre bras de mon petit lapin tout blanc?"
Mattie looked up and said "I was making Al and myself some pancakes, and I slipped on some water I forgot to clean up, the plate of pancakes fell out of my hands and broke. I guess a piece of the plate sliced my arm a bit…." she was a bit embarrassed and confused on why her 'fathers' were fussing over her so much, sure it was a good feeling but it was a bit annoying that they were fussing over her now that she wasn't a little child anymore.
Francis gasped and went to inspect the arm but Arthur was able to stop the man from doing so, just then Alfred came back with the first aid kit saying "Sorry, took me while to remember where it was!" Mattie watched a bit nervous as her 'brother' and 'fathers' fussed over her, she wasn't used to this type of attention before.
"Guys stop, I'm fine!" Mattie nearly yelled out from her frustration that they were fussing so much about her arm, she was fine really, all it was doing was bleeding and most of the blood was stopping. They didn't listen and she sighed a bit annoyed but let it go, hell she was Canada she could never hold on her anger or frustration for long. She was going to ask again for them to stop fussing but suddenly her house phone rang off.
She turned her head and stared as the phone near the couch rang, Francis was the only one who had noticed it too because Alfred and Arthur were now fighting over who should be the one to patch up the wound. Mattie looked at her 'Papa' and asked kindly "Papa, Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît me donner le téléphone?" Francis nodded and went off to go get the phone while he heard "Iggy! Let me patch it up, she's my sister!" and "No you bloody fool, you'll mess things up and she'll be hurting even more!"
When Francis reached the phone, he picked it up and bought it over to Mattie, Mattie smiled as a thank you as she took it with her free arm as Alfred and Arthur began to fight louder. She sighed softly before answer the phone by pushing the button.
"Bonjour? Matthew Williams speaking…" she was expected a "Who?" or a "Wait I thought your name was Alfred, America…" but what she got was "Ah, Comrade-Matvey, Привет! Da." Mattie's eyes widened as she heard the voice, her mind grew into a panic on why Ivan, Russia, of all people was calling her right now.
"R-Russia? What are you calling for, eh?" she asked out, causing everyone in the room to freeze, and then Alfred yelled out "WHAT? Why the hell is that Commie-Bastard calling you Mattie?" just after he said, Ivan spoke on the other line "Comrade I was making sure we are still on for that Hockey Match tomorrow, da? Oh and please call me Ivan…" Mattie's eyes widened as she suddenly remembered the match she was to play with Ivan. She looked down to her now bandaged arm and said with a sad voice "Oh god, I completely forget, I'm so sorry… Ivan… But I can't make it, nor can I play, I just hurt my arm and I don't think it's a good idea to be playing with it. Maybe we can postponed the match until next weekend?" Mattie was now embarrassed, worried, and sorry that she couldn't go and play a hockey match with someone, and now that she thought of it, it would be very hard to play now that her arm was hurt and also the fact she was going to sneak over to Francis's place to see Gilbert again this weekend.
Ivan was silent and so was the rest of her family, then he spoke "I see, do not worry Comrade I understand. Next weekend then, da?" Mattie shook her head yes but then realized that Ivan couldn't see her right now, she then said "Yes. Again I'm sorry Ivan…" then she heard "Its alright, get better soon, da? Goodbye then…" but right as Mattie was going to say goodbye, Ivan spoke softly and said "Mой подсолнечника…" and then the line went dead.
Mattie stared at the phone and questioned the words that she heard, what did he just call her? She blinked a few times before turning the phone off and staring at it still until Alfred asked "What the hell was that all about Mattie?" Mattie looked up to see her 'brother' and 'father's' staring at her intensely, she was so startled by this that she jumped a bit. Mattie just sighed after a moment and said "Rus- I mean Ivan just called me up to see if we were still going to play that Hockey Match tomorrow…"
"No." both Alfred and Arthur said at the same time and in the same tone, Francis shook his head at that while Mattie sweat dropped at her 'bother' and 'father' that's when Arthur said in a tone that meant he was serious "I forbid you from playing that rough game with Russia, Matthew. Not with this hurt arm of yours." Mattie just sighed then and said "Look, I already told him I can't play and that we're going to postponed the match until next weekend okay."
Alfred spoke this time "No way Mattie! I'm not letting you play with that Commie-Bastard at all! He'll crush you!" Mattie stopped and shot Alfred a look before saying with a ticked off tone "Al, I've played with Ru-Ivan before a lot times, and most of those times I've won. I won't get crushed." before Alfred could respond to that, a knock on the door came.
Mattie stared for a moment as the others watch too, she then looked back at the others before looking down to her arm which was now bandaged up, it seems that Arthur was able to finally clean up her wound and place a warp around it while she was on the phone and Alfred was busy worrying about the 'Commie-Bastard' calling her.
She got up before her 'brother' and 'fathers' could protest and walked over to the front door, she heard the knocking again and said "Hold on, I'm coming." clearly so the person on the other side knew she was coming. When she reached the door, she opened it and asked out in pure wonder "Hello?"
What she saw surprised her.
Netherlands, also known as Lars, stood there with a smile and if what she correct was right, a blush upon his face, he was wearing a brown jacket, a white shirt, blue jeans, and normal white shoes.
Netherlands was one of the very few that could remember her at first glance, he was always kind to her when he did remember her and they normally hung out a lot after World War II, Mattie wouldn't say it out loud but when she was younger she did in fact had a crush on Lars, the crush though disappeared after many years, she only saw him as a friend and somewhat of an older brother now.
Mattie's eyes somehow traveled down to his hands which held bright different colored flowers.
"L-Lars? What are you doing here and why are you holding Tulips?"
I am SO sorry about the long wait, I hope the chapter was good. Also sorry about the short talk between Mattie and Ivan, it was the only thing I could come up with.
Important notes you should read and remember:
*Just found out Holland is really Netherlands, the Country name is Netherlands and there is a place called Holland in Netherlands, so from now on Holland is Netherlands.
**From what I've been reading/looking up, Netherlands does not have a name yet, so I'm calling him Lars.
***Mattie isn't holding a grudge against Alfred or Arthur, she's Canada, she cold never hold a grudge for long.
****If you would remember from before in one of the chapters, both Russia and Canada talked about a match they were going to play during the weekend.
*****Tulips, Netherlands National Flower, over 10,000 are sent each year during May to Canada as thanks for librating Netherlands from Nazi control during World War II. Both Canada and Netherlands celebrate the Tulip Festival together.
******Mattie calls herself Matthew still beacuse that's the name she was given and she believes since that's her name she should be called Matthew.
Hope that clears up a few confusing things. Anyway on to my rants
:3 My birthday was just a few days ago (July 6th, I'm a July baby, funny how Mattie's b-day is on July 1st and Alfred's is on July 4th :D) I'm 18 now!
Man I feel bad, I didn't do much to celebrate Mattie's and Alfred's b-day (And I'm American damn it!) I was to busy at Anime Expo! But I did say Happy Birthday to Matthew's and Alfred's. Maybe I'll make an Omake later with some Prussia/FemCanada in it just for Mattie's B-Day.
Anyway, review if you like it, if you don't like than don't review, its as simple as that.
Oh! I need help with a title for this chapter, I couldnt think of anything so I thought "Why not get the reviewers to help me huh!"
