Hey guys, Wolf here. Sorry this chapter took a couple weeks to get out. I'm on a major writing block on multiple stories I writing, this one being one of them. No, I am not going to stop writing this story, it might just take longer to post a new chapter. There were a lot of things that were happening the past couple weeks, I'm sure most of you, if not all, know why. Next week, I am also taking a trip with my family so I will not be updating at all during that week. I will try to work on the next chapter though, so you won't have to wait too, too long.
LunaTheBlackWolf-Yes, you are very close. It is very close to a 2p, just not...exactly... I will not be using any 2p names, as my people have their own ideas and I do not wish to upset anyone. So, I will just be sticking with their normal names. So, by that standard, they just take on my adaptation of appearance and personality of the 2ps, but do not turn into a 2p. I little confusing, I know. Sorry :/
You review made a good example on why I do not wish to put 2p names in. As you lean more towards Sergei, I lean more towards Viktor.
Please no hate on my choice of names, from anyone. We are all untitled to our own opinions. I will not bash your names, so do not bash mine. If anyone wishes to know what name I have for everyone, you may ask me by PM and I will be glad to respond and discuses only if you can have a peaceful talk about it.
I'm rambling now. Let's get on with the story~
It's only been a couple weeks since the 'inspection', as the children called it. Even so, no one has settled down. Many children were still frightened, fearing that the adults might come back for them. The rare friendships that were made were taken away, never to be seen again. Families were torn apart. Long heated rivalries ceased to exist. Everyone's reaction to the the inspection was different. The days ahead of them were changed from their normal routine. The only common thing everyone shared was that no one was happy. Especially the small group of make-shift, international friends.
Yao rarely left the sleeping room. He wasn't forced by the adults, as they viewed it as one less mouth to feed. As he rarely left, he barely ate, only eating when someone brought him the small amounts they could sneak. But, even so, those were rare. He stayed curled up on his bed, blaming himself for Kiku being taken away. A child he had known almost his whole life was taken away from him. And, he couldn't do anything about it...
Alfred was forced out of the room by Arthur and Francis, no matter how much he wanted to stay. Francis was, too, heartbroken that the small Canadian that he grew close to was take. They all tried, tried saving the Canadian from being taken. Alfred even screamed, trying to get them away from his 'brother'. In the end, it didn't help his cause. It was inevitable. Matthew, a child seen as a family member of their small group, was taken from them.
Feliciano was heartbroken as well upon hearing about Kiku. A friend he had only just recently made way already gone. Ludwig was saddened, at the most. He didn't try to make friends with Kiku, like Feliciano did, so he wasn't too affected. Though, to say he didn't care was far off from true. He just wasn't as... attached like the little Italian boy.
Days moved slow and time acted like it didn't exists. The more the days moved on, the more the children were being taken. Many children where done with this. Being separated from their family, leaving them at home. Having friends be taken from right underneath them. No clue why they were here. No clue what was going to happen. They couldn't deal with all this any longer. They fought against the adult, breaking their rules, but the result is always the same. Adults shot at the children and they were taken out of the rooms, never to be seen again.
Night rolled around once again for the group of children. They followed the adult's shouts and orders, but they were still shoved around. Upon arriving in the large dark sleeping room the children were shoved in. Bam! Click! Bam! Click! Bam! Click! One right after the other, doors were slammed shut, as if they were dominoes. Falling upon one another, pushing the others down.
The children slowly crawled into their sleeping 'beds'. Some slipped under the 'covers' while some laid up on top. Curled up in balls, laying on their flat backs or stomachs. This was one of those nights that took a while for everyone to sleep. They were quiet, barely speaking a word, but even so, no one could sleep. One day, the adults were going to barge into their room and take every last one of them. They were going to be take and were going to never be seen again.
Hours past, and only a handful of the remaining kids could sleep. Everyone who was still awake had given up on a normal sleep pattern a while back. After the 'inspection', they had no intention of going on. They just wanted it all to end.
The sound of bangs and shouts rang throughout the halls, echoing what it can into the rooms. The children who were awake were up and looked over towards the door. Quickly, banging began on their own door. It grew in pace, force and numbers as it seemed like more and more of whatever was banging on it grew. Quickly and with one final bang, the large lock holding the door close busted apart and fell to the ground. The door swung open with a BANG against the wall, instantly waking the sleeping kids. What looked like a man and a woman stepped into the room. Their outfits were different from their own, but different from the adults, making them not from this place. Almost all of their face was covered, only allowing their eyes to be see. Even their hair. One of them had green eyes while the other had purple. They also each owned some sort of weapon; male had a pistol and the female had a shotgun. If they weren't from this place than... who are they...?
"Everyone out. Ve need to hurry." The male stated as he stood near the door.
"Quickly. Before the alarms go off." The girl spoke, quickly stepping into the room. The children in the room managed to glancing passed the two, glancing into the hall. Children were running down the hall with older people, like these two, at their sides. Upon seeing the children run, many of the children quickly slid out of their beds and ran out the door. The man pushing them along, wanting them to run faster.
"What's going on...?" Yao asked as he walked up to the women, letting all the other children run past him. The girl turned to him with what seem like a light smiled, as her face was hid behind a piece of cloth. Why was she wearing it exactly?
"We're breaking you all out of here."
"What...?" Yao blinked.
"Ve'll explain more on the vay. Get moving." The man rushed the remaining children out the door.
"Come on." The girl grabbed Yao's arm and pulled him out the door. Yao blinked, but pulled his arm away and ran with the remaining kids. The two looked at each other before nodding. The male ran after the group, ushering the children along with the others. The female ran in the opposite direction, going down a different hallway and disappearing around a corner. There were about 10 total members of this outside group, rushing them along, including the women disappeared. None of the children asked questions. They were just happy that they were, hopefully, getting out of this place.
As soon as they hit the minute mark for running, realization finally hit the little American.
"M-Matthew! We can't leave without Matthew!" Alfred managed to slip his arm from Arthur's grasp and run in the opposite direction, pushing past all the running children. "Matthew! Matthew!" Alfred glanced around from face to face, hoping the older ones managed to find him and usher him along. But, there was no luck in sight. Alfred continued to run in the opposite direction of the children. He was going to find Matthew and bring him home. He promised he would never leave him behind.
As soon as Yao heard the name being called out by the small child his eyes widened. What about Kiku? Just like Alfred, he wasn't going to leave behind his 'brother' in a place like this. Yao's body turned with the pivot of his foot before running in the same directing Alfred was, away from the crowd of people. I'm not going to leave you Kiku...
Arthur glanced around, running with all the children. Where were they going...? Arthur tightened his grip around Alfred's arm only to freeze. There was nothing in his hand. Glancing down, Arthur's eyes widened in fear. There was no child by his side... Alfred had disappeared.
"Arzer...?" The accented voice rang through the Brit's ears, causing Arthur to slowly look over as Francis walked over to his side
"He's gone..."
"Who's gone...?"
"Alfred! Alfred disappeared!" Arthur frantically began looking around. Francis's eyes widen.
"Quelle?!" Francis ran after Arthur, glancing around as well.
"He couldn't have gotten far. No. He has to be nearby! Alfred! Alfred, where are you?!" Arthur's head shot left and right. He had to find him. What if he was going to be left behind? No. Matthew was already gone, the two weren't going to lose Alfred too.
Both Yao and Alfred managed to push past the group of children and run down the empty hall, both working together. Neither of them were going to leave until the one they were looking for was found. Upon turning the corner, the two came into a crashing halt with another person. All 3 of them fell back to the ground with a thud. A silver box that the third was carrying flew high up into the air. The woman's eyes widened. She quickly pushed herself up, scrambling around. She reached over for it, grabbing it right before it hit the ground. She sighed before quickly looking back at the two she bumped into only for her eyes to widen.
"What are you two doing here?! Get back with the group!" It was the same girl that veered from the group earlier. The silver briefcase in her hands was pulled close to her like it would end her life if she didn't.
"No!" Alfred screamed. The girl quickly covered his mouth, as his screams echoed throughout the hall.
"Shh!" She hushed him with narrowed eyes. "Why not?!"
"I spent 10 years in this place and I do not plan on leaving with without Kiku, aru!" Yao's voice rose to the level the girl spoke. He was determined. Nothing was going to stop him. The girl looked over at the teen. Kiku? Who's Kiku?
"Or Matthew!" Alfred spoke through her hand, pulling away from her. The woman glanced back at the small boy, blinking in confusion. Matthew...?
"Who?" The girl asked. "If they're children then they're with the group up ahead. We made sure to collect all of you guys. We didn't leave anyone behind." The female tried to calmly explain, hoping the two would quickly get back to the group. Of course, that response didn't sit well with the two.
"No you didn't! Matthew isn't with us!" Alfred's eyes narrowed as he stomped his feet.
"They were taken! The adults took them! We have to go get them back, aru!" Yao yelled wanting to run past the girl and keep looking for Kiku. He was NOT going to leave without him. The girl blinked only for her eyes to widen. These children were taken...? Already? I thought we were ahead of schedule. Are they pushing their plans ahead...? No... If they are...
"Well..." The girl quietly spoke. Quickly, her hands were on their backs, pushing them back down the hall. "Listen to me. Forget about them. If they were taken, they're not coming back."
"What?!" The two yelled, instantly whipping their heads around to look at her.
"No! You're lying! Matthew is still in here! He's not gone! I have to go get him!" Alfred turned his body around and away from the girl, trying to run passed her and run off to find Matthew. Quickly, the girl grabbed the back of his shirt stopping him from moving.
"Listen kid! I don't want to have to hurt you! This 'Matthew' kid you keep yelling about is gone! If the people here take a child then you are never going to see them again! I'm sorry, but we have to keep moving. You can't save someone who's already gone!" The girl yelled. She tried to keep her voice down, but there two were getting on her nerves. Why couldn't they just listen. Well... apparently telling them the truth got them to listen.
Both Alfred and Yao froze. No. It wasn't true. Matthew and Kiku where in here still. They were waiting to be saved. They can't just leave them here... No...
"Alfred!" Another voice rang through the hall. Tuning around the corner both the French and the English teen came into view; both out of breath and concern written all over their faces. Quickly, without warning, Alfred turned his back to the girl and darted over to the teens, throwing himself onto Arthur, knocking him back. Francis quickly grabbed Arthur, keeping him on his feet. Alfred's arms wrapped around Arthur's waist as he buried his head in his chest and tried his best not to cry. Though small tears began wetting Arthur's top. He couldn't help but cry. How could he not? From what this women was telling him, Matthew was probably...
"Alfred! W'at 'appened?! Are you alright?!" Francis tried asking, hoping the boy would answer. Alfred just shook his head, not wanting to speak.
"Listen I don't mean to be rude, but stop worrying about that now!" The girl spoke, getting the attention of the group. "Everything will be explained, but we need to get out of here before-" Almost on cue a large alarm rang through the air as all the lights around them turned from their golden yellow color to a red hue and started flashing. "The alarms go off..." The girl placed her hand on her face and groaned. "Too late now..." She rolled her eye before looking back at the group. Quickly, the girl's hand wrapped around Yao's arm and pulled him back down the hall while ushering the other 3 along. "Quickly now! We need to get out before we get caught!" The group ran down the hall, turning left and right at different crosswords. No one spoke and no one asked questions. That made it easier for the women to lead them through the hall. If she could just get these remaining children out of the building without a problem. And thankfully, that was the case.
After a couple minutes of running the group was able to make out a figure standing by what looks like an exit. The group increased their pace, trying to get out.
"Hurry! Ve don't have much time anymore!" The male yelled, glancing in and out of the building, as if he was watching for something.
"I know!" The group got to the door, only to have the two shove them out. The male yanked a small handgun from his belt and whipped it around to point down the hall. Multiple adults began appearing from side hallways, running after the group. The male, with narrowed eyes, shot at the large group of running adults, managing to wound and even kill multiple men, hopefully giving the group enough time to get far away from here. The male and female got behind the door and began to shut the large metal door, slamming it shut with a loud Bang! The two turned back to the group of children and instantly began running once more, ushering the kids along with them.
"W-Where are we going…?" Arthur looked at the two older people. It was a question he should have asked in the beginning instead of just blindly following along. But, he was just as excited as everyone else. Now is a better time than ever to ask. The girl looked down with a light smile on her face. She had removed the cloth from her face, showing off her long, wavy brown hair as it flew behind her as the group ran
"We're taking you all to a better place. A place where people like us are everywhere."
~French~
