Chapter 9
Latvia's phone suddenly rung, pulling the youth out of his worries for Kaunis as he answered it. His worries then came right back as Finland quickly replied, "Oh good, you're back. And please tell me Kaunis is with you too!"
"Kaunis…i-isn't here," Latvia began shakily.
"…What! Oh, no, were we too late?! Latvia, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, I should have told you when I first found out," Finland began panicking.
"S-so then, y-you know what happened to here?" Latvia asked confused yet hopeful. After all, if Finland knew something than maybe he could tell him where to find Kaunis.
"Yes, that the spell broke when you guys entered the room and now she's just a pile of dust and bones somewhere from suddenly aging all those years. It must've been horrible for you to watch," Finland answered.
"What?! No! I-I just came home and she wasn't here! I-I think someone took here," Latvia replied panicked throughout and quietly at the end. After a moment to let what Finland said register, Latvia asked, "Is that what's going to happen to Kaunis?"
"Well, that's what happened to everything else in that room, so that's only what I can assume. But don't worry, I talked to England about it and he thinks he can stop the event from happening. We just need to bring you and Kaunis over here…which you can't do since she's gone…," Finland began hopeful only to then realize that this would be harder than thought.
"D-don't worry, I'm going to go look for her again right now! I'll find here, she expects me to!" Latvia replied before hanging up the phone and rushing to the door.
Upon realizing that he was hung up on yet again, Finland looked at his phone confused before giving a large smile. At last he sighed and commented, "Then it looks like I'll just have to let Latvia take care of this, since he seems so determined to."
Latvia did not know where to start looking, but he felt sure that she would not be in any park. No, she was probably somewhere with the freak who kidnapped her. So then where start? After a moment to think this over he decided to go to the last other nation who saw her in hopes that he might be able to help; Russia.
It was late at night when Latvia reached Russia's house, and the house owner had just gone to sleep when he heard the doorbell ring. Disgruntled, he answered the door and frowned down at Latvia as he asked, "Latvia, why are you here so late at night?"
"I'm sorry Sir, but I needed to ask you a question," Latvia answered determined.
"Latvia, it is late and you are keeping me up. Can't the question wait until tomorrow? And shouldn't you be with Kaunis?" Russia asked.
"The question is about Kaunis, sir, s-she missing! A-and according to Finland she could be in grave danger!" Latvia persisted.
"She's missing, where would she go? When did you see her last?" Russia asked suddenly concerned.
"This morning, and when I came back this evening she was gone. As to where she is, I-I was hoping that you would know," Latvia answered, suddenly meekly at the end.
"You thought I took her? Latvia, I thought we were friends, why would you suspect me?" Russia asked hurt.
"I-I don't know, but how you act around her and everything, I-I guess I just thought that you might know," Latvia answered, slowly losing his bravery.
"Latvia, you should be more trusting of your friends, Kaunis certainly seemed so. I was actually happy to see how you were with Kaunis, I think she is good for you. Now, what is this danger Finland told you about," Russia answered with a friendly smile.
"F-finland said that Kaunis might die if I don't get her back and to help," Latvia answered with a frown. He had not realized how obvious it was to everyone else that they liked eachother, let alone to himself. That is, until now that she was gone.
"Hmm, that is bad…have you looked everywhere for her?" Russia asked, a slight look of concern on his face.
"I-I looked around the house and neighborhood, and the park the letter told her to go to," Latvia began.
"Wait, letter? What letter?" Russia asked.
"This one, we got it in the mail yesterday for her," Latvia answered only to hand the letter over to the other nation. Russia eagerly took the letter and read it over, frowning as he re-read it to make sure. It was a typed letter, which made it difficult to tell who it was from, and there was no return address on the envelope. But there was something about the wording which reminded him of someone; he just could not place who.
At last Russia commented, "I'm sorry Latvia, but I do not know where she is or who took her. But I will think on it. Perhaps with some sleep I will remember something, da?"
"T-thank you sir…there is one thing though. C-can you think of anyone who would want to take her. Anyone who might want to h-hurt her," Latvia asked with a slight plea.
"Latvia, she is a very pretty girl. Anyone who saw her, nation or not, could very likely have tried to kidnap her for selfish reasons and could accidentally hurt her," Russia began with a sigh, only to frown as Latvia's face became more panicked. He then continued, "As for kidnapping her to hurt her…I think there may be one person…"
"Who?"
"After I returned home from your house the other day, Belarus was here. She did not seem happy when I brought up Kaunis," Russia answered. She did not like to suspect his own little sister, but they both knew how jealous she could get of anyone who came close to him.
"Thank you sir, if that's the case then I'll go ask her about it right away!" Latvia answered only to then rush off; almost forgetting to turn and wish Russia sweet dreams. Russia simply waved as he watched the younger nation leave, an amused smile gracing his lips until he yawned and headed inside; hoping to finally be able to sleep.
