Chapter 9
I WILL NEVER OWN HETALIA! LIKE, EVER!
Alfred didn't remember much, he didn't even recall being pulled out of the snow. All he thought of was how sad his daughter was right now. Alfred felt his eyes flutter twitch from aggravation, the light around him was awful bright. Light? Oh no. That wasn't a good sign. "Daddy, Daddy! Wake up!" he opened his eyes slightly, "Emily?" he breathed. He saw her sitting above him, the background looked so familiar, though where did he see it? It dawned on him. His house. He was in his house. He shoved his stupidity aside, and sat up. "What happened? Was it all a dream?" he asked her. She laughed "No. It wasn't a dream, it all really happened. Me offering myself in your place, you being set free, and of course, me leaving." she had an troubled expression painted on her face. She smiled a little, as if recalling the greatest memory of her life. "But how did you escape?" he questioned, she looked almost ready for tears "I didn't escape Daddy, he let me go." Alfred's eyebrows furrowed, that monster set his beautiful daughter free? What was, he blind? What? Could that thing not see his daughter was gorgeous?
"Some how, I have a feeling you weren't set free. That thing is a monster! A beast!" Alfred protested, Emily smiled "Oh, but Hy's CHANGED daddy! Now he sweet and kind." Hy? The thing had a name? Better yet, his daughter bothered to remember it? That could only mean…crud. Alfred's thoughts were short lived when Emily's bag gave a sharp jiggle. Soon a small little teacup flew out onto the bed. It looked at them with sea blue eyes, Emily giggled and took the small cup in her hand and joked "We seem to have a stowaway."
Alfred grinned "Hey the little guy! I remember you!" The teacup gave him a quick glance and refocused on Emily "Why did you leave? Don't you like us?" she smiled "Of course I do Peter, but my daddy was sick. I had to help-" there was a swift bang at the door. Emily stowed Peter under her father's pillow and hid Sakura there as well. Picking her self off the bed, she ran down the stairs to answer it. In the doorway was a man with a somber expression. His dark brown hair went well with his amber eyes, his eyebrows were rather thick, like Arthur's, thought this man seemed Chinese. "Hello." his English was perfect "I have come to collect your father. I promise to take good care of him." Emily's brows furrowed "Take good…?" she glanced behind him, half the town was there, she spotted Kiku's worried face among them. There was a carriage "Wang Leon's Asylum." She put two and two together. "My father isn't crazy!" she exclaimed, a voice rang out "Yea, and he wasn't raving like a lunatic about a beast!" Alfred appeared at the door way. "Emily?" he asked, adjusting his glasses. "Tell us Alfred, how big WAS the beast?" Her father's face showed that he didn't see the carriage "Je had to be at least eight- no- NINE feet tall!" Natalia came out and started talking to the crowd "Well, it doesn't get crazier than THAT!" The Belarusian made the screwball signal "Look who's talking Ms. I-want-to-marry-my-big-brother-so-I-stalk-him-when-he-says-'no'!" Emily shouted "Take the idiot!" Natalia called Ivan gave her a fake sympathetic look "Poor Emily, I could fix this predicament." Emily turned to him, hope glistened in her eyes "Would you, Ivan?" He smiled "If…" Emily's heart dropped through her stomach "If?" she asked "If you agree to be my wife." She pulled back "What?!" she asked, repulsed. She hated him, she couldn't love him. She loved someone else. Wait, who DID she love? Hy. The answer was shot into her brain. "It's only one word, da? One little word and your father is fine." Ivan coaxed, he stroked her hair, she gave him the hardest shove she could manage, which seemed to be quite powerful. "I'll never marry you, you Commie Bastard!" she shrieked and ran to the house. She quickly pulled the mirror from her bag, she threw herself out the door and screamed "My Daddy isn't crazy and I can prove it!" the crowd gawked at her as she twisted the mirror to herself and said "Show my Hy!" and showed the crowd an image of a depressed Hy, a loud anguished roar. A woman called out "Is he dangerous?" Emily shook her head "Oh no! No, I know he looks mean, but he's really kind and gentle. He's like my best friend." she turned the mirror and held it close to her body. Ivan's eyes were like violet fires.
"If I knew better, I'd think you had feelings for monster,da?" Ivan said, his voice was so cold, frost practically clung to the words. "Hy's no monster! You are!" Emily shouted, she searched the crowd 'Please help me. Don't let that man take my father.' she begged silently. Kiku tried to step up, but was pushed down by a villager. "Do not listen to her! She is crazy like father, da? I say we kill the monster!" Alfred and Emily were shoved into the basement, both exists were barricaded. "This is all my fault!" Alfred patted her back as gently as possible "Hey, hey, it's not your fault, if you didn't do anything I would be in an asylum right about now." she choked back a sob "And I STILL forgot about Gerlinde!" she wailed. Alfred pulled back "Wait, who?"
Kiku was rather…disturbed, at Emily-chan's choice in men. Beasts. Whatever. But, if it made Emily-chan happy than he would gladly help her save him. He just needed to figure out how. He attempted to remove the barricades, but his fingers got cut. So, that didn't work. He had tried everything, he was about ready to give up when he remembered what Alfred-san always said 'Life is either step up and take the challenge, or step down. And steppin' down ain't an option.' that motivated him to keep going. He started looking for something to take down the barricades, he leaped the steps and pushed open the door to the house. He started to look frantically all over the house, soon he found himself looking under beds, then the pillow.
Gerlinde was steaming mad. She left! Again! Didn't this girl ever remember her when she does stuff like this? Gerlinde let out a snarl. "This blows! The girl ditched me ünd now I'm stuck here!" Daniel took the liberty to call out, "Your not the only one who's disappointed!" she was about to response when Madeline the dresser came charging down the steps with Gerlinde's Spanish hairbrush, Antonia and the French feather duster François. "What's up?" Antonia turned "¿Que Tal? ¿QUE TAL? At a time like this you ask '¿Que Tal?'!?" she shrieked. Normally Antonia was really calm and fun to be with, other than François who was a perverted woman…feather duster…whatever. "What's wrong with you?" she asked François looked at her and said "Don't mind her mon ami, we're just being invaded by the local village." she said reassuringly "WHAT?!" Gerlinde and Daniel screamed in unison, Gerlinde darted to a window and looked outside. Gerlinde showed Daniel, who had a horrified expression. He glanced back at her "What's with that face?" he demanded "Nothing, just wondering why there are suddenly more men in the village than last month…" she frowned further. Than shook her head, "Come on, we should go help the other stop the invasion." his reflection nodded "Igen." the two(and the rest of the castle) pushed themselves(or at least Gerlinde did since Daniel was a sword) against the doors in attempt to stop their battering ram. Then a stroke of genius came to Francis "I know!" the whole castle hid as… themselves. It was genius, the castle was full of enchanted items, so the residents just had to stand there, Gerlinde, on the other hand, had to hide inside of Maddie. She waited for their signal. "This is gonna be a good fight,eh, Danny?" it was the last thing said before "NOW!"
