Solitude: Chapter Nine – I See
Crescent High School – September 6th, 2011
It had taken Ivan some time to get adjusted to his discovered identity. He had spent the last three days locked up in his room asking and answering questions. He had plenty of food as he could just summon some and he also summoned his homework when it was assigned yesterday.
Remember, Russia whispered in his head, we are the only one who knows who we are. The rest are supposed to know when we graduate. We cannot call them by their nation name for that reason.
"Ciao, Ivan!" Feliciano called out as Ivan walked by him.
"Hello, Feliciano." He said automatically.
What is his nation name? That voice was starting to be familiar and not because it was his.
North Italy. Italia Veneziano. This is strange.
Da. I do not like not being in control of our body, but I cannot assume control under we graduate.
What happens to me?
You will become the voice in the back of our head; however you do take control sometimes, when the situation is personal.
"Brother!"
Oh, shit. Our sister.
Belarus?
Da.
"Did you get the homework from yesterday, big brother?"
"Da, Natalya."
"Hey, Naty!" Alfred called out. "Play practice, right now."
Oh!
Alfred?
Do you remember who he is?
Ivan watched the two leave and frowned as his heart rate sped up.
The United States of America. Our ex-rival and sometimes friend.
Very good. He also sometimes was our - - - China?
Yao walked up. "Hello, aru."
He smiled. "Hello, Yao!"
"Are you feeling better?"
"Da."
The two started walking towards the dining room, holding hands, unaware that from the shadows someone was glaring at them.
Ah! Are you two going out? I see he remembers.
Da, and who remembers?
Nobody important and it is not China.
Bold is Russia and underline is Ivan. To me, they can switch between being nation and human as both sides exist in their head.
