Upon walking in, you feel it. A sharp pain to your head. *Is it the chocolate? No, that would only be after consumption.* What is it? You continue to walk through and quickly get what you need and run home. Your back is against a wall, and you sit down... "Bonjour!"

"Ho-how.. did you get in?"

"Are you okay mademoiselle?"

"Get out." You look up, and you see him. Not that Frenchman, no.. The one who is after you.

"Aw, no need to be so sour."

"OUT!" He approaches you and his voice and eyes become dark. He places his hands on your cheek and pushes your face up to look at him.

"You are a very precious gem, it would be a shame if you had died." You laugh.

"Like you could kill me."

"In this condition, I could."

"Leave me be."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." You pull your face away and glower. His dark hair, the pale skin. The light, sky blue eyes. "I just wanted to see you."

"Go steal another virgin's heart, you sick twisted creature."

"HA! That would be you!" He looks insane. You sense the danger, but you know you can rest easy.

"Leave, you have no business with me, you should have been caught."

"AHAHAHA~! BUT! I CANNOT BE CAUGHT! I WILL NEVER BE CAUGHT! AND I WILL HAVE YOU!" Your strength returns, you take a swing with the power you have. He disappears, however, the laughing lingers for a bit. *I am no longer safe here... I need to move.* You put on warm clothes and you run, tracking a scent. The scent of snow and vodka...

Eventually you get there, the only one who knows of you. *He won't come here, he won't because he hates the cold...* You knock on the large door. "He-hello?"

"Hello, I am looking for Ivan..." *Hopefully, he remembers me.."

"Mr Ivan is not home..." *The poor timid soul...*

"Please, I need to see him, I know he is home."

"Ah, ah... Lithuania! Tell Mr. Ivan, someone is here to see him!" You pat his head and smile.

"Thank you, you have been a great help." You hear the Russians footsteps.

"Alice?"

"I changed my name. I need to stay here."

"Da, da. Come in." You walk in and give him a hug.

"He found me."

"I assumed as much, you only come here in extreme situations. I am guessing you got a bit careless?"

"I did, it was a mistake. I went to France." A look of pain is on Ivan's face, but he quickly hides it.

"Let us go to the living room and talk."

"Alright..." You tell Ivan your case. You tell him you met France and England.

"I see, you know yo can stay as long as you need."

"Thank you, Ivan. You are always such a big help."

"Da, do you need to see them?"

"Who?"

"The English man with the crazy eyebrows, and the perverted French."

"I believe that would be good."

"I am going to a world meeting tomorrow. You can come." You feel Belarus. She has taken a liking to you, because you support her to a certain extent, giving her advice, and also because you scare her...

"Belarus, are you going too?"

"Of course! I am also a country!" Russia doesn't seem as frightened of her when you're around as well.

"Thank you, again."

"Where will she sle- or, her quarters be?" You laugh.

"I do sleep Belarus, sometimes." Russia looks thoughtful.

"I have no spare room because of those three." He points to three other countries. "Belarus, are you willing to sha-" He stops as he sees Belarus looking terrified.

"I guess you will be sharing my room then..." Belarus readily agrees. *Wow, that is very surprising... I didn't scare her that much.. did I?*

"Also, Alice, what did you change your name to?"

"Well, it was Rose, but now, that name is not safe for me.."

"I see."

"I guess my new name will be..."
