Chapter nine:

Early the next morning, the nations called Virginia and asked if she could tell them what she remembered. It was so early in fact that they woke her up. When they did ask her, she told them, "Well, like I said she was living in the past; so you guys were on the right track. It just wasn't a battle were they met last."

"So can you tell us where you think they are?" England asked her.

"Ya, it's sort of in the middle of nowhere so I'll just send D.C. the coordinates," she said. A few minutes later, D.C.'s phone rung that it got the message. They saw that like what she said, they were going to the middle of nowhere, but had their jet ready to get to the nearest airport to their destination anyways.

After a two hour plane ride and several hours in a rental, they finally reached the rough area. By that time it was already around one in the afternoon, and the rough area was fairly expansive. The area was roughly twenty square acres of mostly dense forests and building foundations.

Due to this they decided to split up into two groups to look for him and would then meet back up by the foundations in the center around 4:30. The two groups consisted of Germany, Japan, Italy, Estonia, and Romano in one group and in the second group England, France, China, Russia, Canada, D.C., and Virginia.

The two groups checked nearly everywhere they could think of; in the forest, around the foundations, the few caves in the area. Sadly though, by the time it reached 4:30 they had still not found anything.

When it reached that time, they regrouped at the designated place and talked about what to do next. Germany was the first to talk, "Virginia, are you certain this was the correct place?"

"I swear this was the place where I found Confederacy! Mind ya it's a lot more overgrown then last time." Virginia said defensively.

"Vee, it's okay Virginia, we all make mistakes," Italy said.

"She has to be here somewhere; I just know it!" Virginia argued.

"Is there anywhere we forgot to check?" Japan asked.

"I know we checked every inch of the western half," D.C. said.

"And we checked everywhere on the East," Romano snapped. After this there was silence until France asked, "Did anyone check this spot?"

"Well we scanned over it, aru?" China said with a sigh, at this rate they could say good-bye to ever seeing America again. No one however wanted to admit to that.

After relooking over the spot, it was exactly five o'clock and there were still no clues. When they saw what time it was, they began to leave the spot, admitting to defeat. As they left however, they heard America scream.

When they heard this, they all began to look around for where the scream came from. After a second scream, they were able to locate the sound from a piece of ply-wood. Once they moved the wood however, they found a secret tunnel which lead to a basement.

"Well who wants to go into the dark, scary hole?" France asked.

"C-can we stay out here?" Italy asked while holding onto Romano; both of them trembling, afraid of what they'd find in there.

"Don't be babies," Virginia said scowling.

"Then you lead da," Russia said giving her a little push towards the hole.

"Um," she began trying to think of a reason not to.

Another scream came out and at last England pushed them out of the way and said, "If no one else wants to go down then I will."

One-by-one, they all followed the tunnel down farther and farther; every once in a while hearing America's scream or him whimper. At last they found a rotting away door with a dim light coming from the door's uneven bottom.

When they saw this, they all tensed for what was to be seen on the other side. At last they pushed the door open to find both Confederacy and America in a small, dark room. The only light in the room was the flickering of five small candles surrounding the two of them. America was tied to a low-legged table. Confederacy was standing over him, rocking a knife back and forth across his bare chest. With each rock, she would cut deeper and deeper with the knife; causing America to either scream or whimper as it cut through his flesh and into his sternum.

The group then lunged at her, carefully taking the knife away from her and out of America's chest while roughly pinning her to a wall. After carefully untying America's raw wrists and feet, they used to rope to tie her up and dragged her up out of the tunnel. All the while Confederacy kept yelling, "You're too late! All I need is for him to die, and he's a dead man walking."

With her out of the way, they turned their attention to America. As England began to check his vitals and found them dropping he yelled, "Someone get help!"

And now for the cliff-hanger.
