I started watching Supernatural, it inspired me for this...
I swear, I get inspired by the weirdest things!
Also last chapter people, I know it's rather short but don't worry because there will be a sequel, sort of...
You'll see~
10. Chatting
The room was silent, her voice had a tone something that wouldn't allow anyone to speak, she glanced at them all and gave a smile
"But I'm still allowed in here because I actually have a say on my brother's decisions if I remember correctly" said Camila
Alexandra chuckled and MartÃn said something under his breath and she was really tempted to throw her trusty knife at him but found the strength to held it by instead getting into conversation with the Macedonian at her side. Once the two black-haired women started talking between themselves the tension disappeared from the room, at some point Argentina left and the countries started asking questions to Camila who told them that she had only remembered being called that before and that she added everything else using her knowledge about the city which took the to the subject of world history, she surprised them all when she said she loved the subject and being able to discuss it on the same level as them [i] she even joked a little with it which helped avoiding some depressing memories
The countries found the girl to be quite talkative, her english fluid and almost accent-less and her speed at speaking, which was neither to fast nor to slow, made it nicer to just listen. She had even had the decency of asking Austria if it didn't bother him that he was loosing time to explain what he wanted to say on the first place, the black-haired man, surprised by her manners and a bit moved by her worries, quickly dismissed this and told her that he could wait until the next meeting since it wasn't such an important matter, but still the girl smiled apologetically when she accepted his reasons. When the meeting ended Alexandra invited Camila to her house but Camila surprised all the presents, not with the fact that this was her first visit to England, as in the country not th person, but with the fact that she wanted to try the food from the island
"Then I might as well show to the best restaurant here" said Arthur
"Don't go to rich on me Arthur, I'm low on European cash" said Camila
They left the room and everyone inside of it in silence, France looked at Macedonia in confusion and she smiled at him and walked over
"Is there anything the problem?" asked Alexandra
"He's never like that, usually he gets awkward arround new countries" said France
"Well, for starters she isn't actually a country, and they did meet a few days ago" said Alexandra
"Still, they act very comfortable with each other" said France
"Don't worry too much, considering their History its only natural for them to act this way" said Alexandra
- wherever Camila and Arthur are -
Camila took a bite from her dish, Arthur watched her, waiting for a reaction, she closed her eyes and let out a sigh before looking at him and smiling
"This is really delicious" said Camila [i]
Arthur blushed, he couldn't really help it, it had been a long time since the last time that anyone told him that
"Did I say something wrong?" asked Camila suddenly
"No, not at all, why?" asked Arthur
"Well, every time I compliment your cooking you stare at me in this odd way" said Camila
"Oh... sorry about that, it's not really your fault" said Arthur
"Then, what is it?" asked Camila
He looked at her, she used the chance to make eye contact, something she liked to do when speaking as he had noticed, he then looked into her eyes, she was curious but also worried. However that was only the part that anyone would have been able to see, but Arthur looked deeper, he saw a shadow looming in her eyes, one that he knew too well, and he felt the need to do something about it
He sighed, not really knowing whether to ask or not; after all there was that high chance of her not remembering a thing
"It's just that... people don't normally say that" said Arthur
For a moment her eyes softened before she looked elsewhere
"Well, they should" said Camila
He smiled at her, he could really get used to her attitude, but there was something bothering him
"You know... I think we did meet before" said Arthur
"Did we?" asked Camila
"There's a possibility, but I wouldn't want to get your hopes up for nothing" said Arthur
"Don't worry, even if it turns out that it wasn't me, my city is still tied to your country for some mayor reason" said Camila
He chuckled and then sighed
"Yes, I guess you could put it like that" said Arthur
They finished their food and headed outside, he then decided to show her the sights, she was one for history and he was more than willing to tell her the real deal. Dates brought back memories for the blond, years of blood, death and sadness, but they also had its purpose, at least he wanted to believe in that
"1806" he said looking at something
"The first English invasion" said Camila
He looked at her, he remembered that one well, it had been a rather unexpected turn of events, he had been so sure that it had been a matter of luck that he tried it again the next year but the outcome was the same. She had a fairly good position in the map, her city could become a strategical point for anyone, however after her people, that was barely trained might he add, threw his army away, no one really tried, her city won some privilege afterwards in result
They talked about this, and other things, she told him everything she knew about her city, but only what had a repercussion in other countries, she joked about the fact that even being only a city she had the potential of competing with USA, as she insisted on calling him, if she really put her mind into it. They visited the Big Ben and realized that it was getting late so they headed back, this time talking about magic and folklore, Arthur was surprised to hear that all Argentina had various ghost stories, they also believed in goblins and gnomes, as well as faeries, she said that this beliefs weren't so far from the true, which he could see since she did travel with a fae herself
They arrived to the Brit's house, she decided it was her turn to do something nice for him and told him that she would cook and wouldn't let him anywhere near the kitchen until he agreed, Arthur decided to humor her and was rewarded with an exited hug that left him frozen in middle of the hall while she disappeared into the kitchen
The had pasta for dinner, to which he raised an eyebrow and she commented that her city was known for the fact that it was many other places mixed and put together in one place, but somehow it worked out
"Besides, everyone loves pasta" added Camila
He chuckled but nodded in agreement, she frowned at him and then looked elsewhere pretending to be angry, which Arthur found rather cute. He then had a great idea and finished his plate and sighed
"Well, at least you cook decently" said Arthur
"Decently?!" asked Camila standing up
She glared at him and he couldn't help but laugh at her reaction which made her scowl at him and he smiled at her
"Got you" said Arthur
Her stare softened and she sat down and gave him an amused smile while she denied with her face, he chuckled, he really could get used to her and her reactions
"Now that you know you're a city I suppose you'll return to your home" said Arthur
This was something he needed to know, he really hoped for a negative answer, there was still a lot he wanted to know about her
"Oh, I still don't have all my memories back, besides I barely seen enough of this place so you won't be getting rid of me that easily" said Camila smiling
He smiled at her, happy that she did plan on staying for a while
"Well, if you keep cooking for me than I might consider helping you" said Arthur
"You sir, have a deal" said Camila
They shook hands and then laughed, she then took her plate and other things and left to leave them on the kitchen sink, he followed shortly after and they had a little argument about who should do the dishes, they agreed that as long as she stayed they would take turns but Arthur told her that if she came for another visit he wouldn't let her do it to which she giggled but agreed as it was his house
They went upstairs and said their good nights but she stopped him before he went to his room
"Hey Arthur" said Camila
He turned arround to face her and she mouthed something to him that made him stay there frozen as she disappeared in the guest room, he shook his head and smiled, she really did know how to get him out of guard
[i] English food is rather popular over here
