ElizaBeta's POV

BOOM! I looked up from where I was sleeping and saw another face on the screen. It was Erick's, Norge's little brother. I can't believe it, more and more people are dying because of this stupid game! Now death has to claim another soul and some already have died. The only ones that seemed to lose their lives are so far, Feliks, Eduard, and little Erick. Gosh I hope the Vargas siblings are alright.

"Elizabeta? Are you crying?" Roderich asked waking up from his slumber. He grabbed his glasses and came to sit next to me.

I touched my face and didn't realize there were tear stains. "No." I mumbled, "I was just thinking if that do we have to kill anyone as well, seeing the death rate is increasing right now." I pointed at the screen looking down at my hands. He grasped it tightly and hugged me close which was actually the first time in awhile.

"Don't think the negative Eliza, if worse comes to worse we might have to, but there is no need for unnecessary killing right?" I nodded at him looking down deep into his deep purple eyes. It was full of worry and discomfort. I guess nobody is happy these days.

I didn't want him to pity me any longer so I shook off his shoulders and placed a huge smile on my face. "I'm okay roderich, There is nothing to worry about so why don't we go ahead and find some breakfast hmm?"

"Okay" he mumbled and walked off to our bags to find some bowls. He may say he agrees with me but those eyes of his don't tell me he actually believes me.

We somehow only found few berries to go with our oatmeal. It isn't much, but it smells delicious! We each got a bowlful of it and dug in quickly. "Gosh", I mumbled, "It tastes like heaven!"

"Well if this is what heaven is like, then what hell looks like?" Roderich smiled and took another bite.

"Roddy, don't ruin our breakfast like this! Hell is when you set the table! How many dishes did you even break?" I giggled and made Roderich blush of his table-setting skill embarrassment.

We continued eating and talking about our memories until a rustle from the forest interrupted us. We both froze and looked over at that direction. Roderich slowly and quietly took our bowls and hid them behind our bags and then drew out his sword. I took my frying pan out and held it ready.

"Where do you even hide that thing" Roderich muttered to me but I just ignored him and kept my eyes fixed on where the noise is coming from.

The noise was coming closer and closer, and I could detect different kind of sounds coming from it.

Snapping of twigs.

Crunching of leaves.

Mutters on some being awesome.

And a bird cheeping?

The voice (and bird) got closer, I readied my weapon and prepared to attack, Roderich behind me, took a step back. Suddenly the bush rustle, there's my chance I thought to myself. I smacked my frying pan right onto the plant and got a very loud "OW!" from it.

"Woah, watch the head and my little yellow friend!" an albino came out of the bush with a bird cheeping on his shoulders. He rubbed his head on the spot where I smacked him, and his little fluff buddy cheeped more vigorously.

"What's your problem for sneaking up on us like that?" I yelled at him and shoved him back away from us.

"Sneaking up on you? I was just following my awesome nose on where food is which is right here…" He caught sight of our 'heavenly' breakfast and his voice trailed off. "oh" was the only thing he could let out before he went back to his outrageous self.

"Come on, can you spare some food for me. My awesome stomach is like off itself!" He held his stomach and made a mock beg which again pissed me off so I gave him another blow with my 'weapon'. "OW!"

I felt a hand on my shoulders, I turned around and there was Roderich in all his bambi eye glory. "Why don't we just spare some Eliza? He could come in good us in the future and we might have one less enemy trying to kill us." Dang when he make those eyes I can't help but to fall victim to them. "Please" he pouted sticking his lower lip out and made his eyes all big. That was the final straw, what did the brave and courageous Elizaveta Edelstein do? I broke down. "Fine…" I muttered silently which was loud enough for Roderich to only hear.

He turned to our little albino 'friend' here and said calmly, "You could have breakfast with us and stay, but one wrong move and we'll make sure your neck will be slit open." That was more like him, but what is creepy is that he could say something grotesque in such a calm voice with almost no expression at all.

"Boo yah!" the albino yelled. He ran past me, gave Roderich a quick hug then filled a plate of food in a blink of an eye. Man he sure can eat. I sighed and looked back at Roderich. He was still frozen in the spot where the albino bastard hugged him and I swear I saw a small blush tinting his cheeks. Oooooh, we're getting some action going on! Maybe letting him stay isn't such a bad idea…

"MMMF! This is awesome crap!" he yelled with his face stuffed full. His little bird was peeping in delight as well. "I told you the breakfast was good" I whispered to Roderich. "Really?" he let out a sarcastic sigh out to me. I gave him a light punch which made him chuckle.

"So," I started "tell us about yourself since we're giving you breakfast form the goodness of our hearts." Roderich coughed and I glared at him which gave him the message to shut up.

"Well" he began, "my name is Gilbert Beilshemedt and my little companion is my awesome buddy Gilbird! "

"Aren't you not allowed to bring pets into the arena?" I asked.

"Gilbird? He's not a pet!" I gaped in mock shock which once again earned him another hit form the frying pan and he got the message to stop being stupid.

"I got separated from my brother before any of you could ask when I was stealing food from happy go lucky tomato freak. (Spain) "Why am I not surprised…" I mumbled to myself which Roderich again, heard me of course.

"Hey! I already told you about me, tell me about youselves!" he pointed his fork at us with his signature stupid smirk.

"I'm Elizabeta Hedevary Edelstein and this is my family member, Roderich von Edelstein. He is the only family member I've got and we've been with each other since like forever. And if you're going to ask why we don't look a bit alike? Well the answer is that we have no clue. "

We sat in silence for a moment until Gilbert broke it. "Have I seen you two somewhere before?"

"Um, didn't you meet us on the train and isn't this like the first time we ever communicated with eachother?'

"No… somewhere else… Except you were called Austria and you" he pointed at me "was called Hungary."

"Um, you must be mistaken," Roderich answered, "Austria and Hungary are both nations, not humans."

He held that thoughtful look on his face and then dropped it replacing it with a huge grin. "So does that mean I'm staying here?" "What? Where did you get that from?" I yelled back.

"Come on, please?" he laid back against a tree and closed his eyes. I looked at Roderich for support but he just shrugged and gave me the Bambi eyes attack again. I broke down to it for a second time; seriously, I could battle off a bear but cannot resist the bambi eyes form Roddy? This world sure is messed up, no pun intended.

"Fine, but one little mistake is going to cost you your life." I warned threateningly

"yeah, yeah whatever. By the way, your rack of boobs is blocking my sun." he blocked his eyes and flicked my forehead.

What did I do? Well let say he got another bruise on his hard head.

Lovino's POV

"Damn it all!" I yelled towards a tree even though the poor tree did nothing. Out of exhaustion, I slumped to the ground and leaned against the tree I just yelled at a second ago.

I can't believe I separated from tomato bastard and Bella and it was all the forest fire's fault! Man, I'm starved; I really feel like just lying here and wait for food to drop out of the sky. But even though that might sound pleasing, there's no dinner if I don't get my ass moving on finding some.

Rummaging through my bag, all I found was a canteen full of water, two bowls, a fork and spoon, my guns, an extra pack of bullets, some first aid, and a bow and arrow although I have no clue where that came from. Sighing in defeat, I went through a patch of ivy (thank god it is not poisoned) and kept on walking to see if I can spot any bird nests.

Sadly, no such thing came to me yet so I kept on moving. My silent façade was going perfectly before some idiot stick which was right in front of me; made me step on it and it snapped which actually made a lot of sound for such a tiny stick.

"W-who's there?" a tiny voice yelled out from behind a grove of trees. I took out my bow and arrows and held them at ready (Why waste the bullets?). I made my way closer to the voice until I could make out who it was. To my surprise, it was that trigger happy guy's little sister who apparently got separated from his brother the same way I got separated form mine. The psycho sibling's attack.

She sounded so frightened and by the looks of her, I wonder if she had eaten for the last two days.

I came out to the clearing she was in which made her jump in fright although I didn't really mean to do that.

"W-what do you want from me? Please don't hurt me, I've got a knife a-and I'm n-not a-afraid to u-use it!" she stuttered and backed away from me.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you, look I'm dropping my weapon." I dropped them all just to prove it to her. Finally she believed me after I put on my charming smile (which attract many ladies and men). She came closer to me until we're facing each other. She stumbled a few steps and almost fell face first before I caught her.

"Are you okay?" I asked in a worried voice still holding onto her.

"I-I'm fine" she squeaked " I just feel a little woozy.

"When was the last time you ate?" I asked very concerned. "Um, two days ago I guess?' she answered meekly.

I set her down against a tree and brushed her hair away from her face. Seeing that she is a little dehydrated, I took out my canteen and told her to drink some water. "You stay here and I'll find some things to eat. Then we can talk about things." She nodded at me with a little smile on her face before she continued to drink more water.

I left her against there hydrating herself and went on to hunt some dinner with the bow and arrows. I couldn't stand seeing her upset so don't go all bitchy on me for going all soft.

Lucky for me, lady luck was on my side today so I actually shot down a fat goose. I plucked and gutted it all before I went back where she is since she probably has a weak stomach right now with not eating for days. After I roasted it and added dome herbs I found in the forest to add flavour, I offered her a whole (big and fat) leg of the geese and she stared at it wide eyed.

"T-that's all for me?" she asked looking up at me. "Yep, one fat juicy goose leg for my little princess!" I smiled at her which made her giggle. When she smiles, it actually makes her look prettier.

Right after I gave it to her, she chomped down on his and smiled happily to herself. "It's so good! I never had a whole leg to myself before!"

I smiled at the compliment but I thought what a pity it is to see the condition people in districts are suffering from. It's really sad that someone like her has to labour all day. "My name is Lovino Vargas by the way, what's yours?"

"My n-name is Lilli Zwingli, I'm twelve years old." She answered shyly. I blinked. How could someone so young be chosen for this ruthless savage game? Man, she so cute, that'll I'll punch anyone who makes her cry!

"Well, nice to meet you too your majesty." I kissed her hand and she blushed even harder. It was fun seeing her smile and in my opinion, she should smile all the time.

.

After we finished eating, I dimmed the fire and helped her climb onto a fat ass huge tree we found. I helped her up and threw our bags on another branch so she has room next to me.

She curled up next to me and whispered, "I'm so happy that I met you. I've never had a dinner that good ever before, although I wish brother was here with us."

"I'm happy that I met you as well, and don't worry we'll find him."I ruffled her hair and earned a small giggle form her.

"Well, Good Night." She snuggled closer and just like that, she fell asleep.

"Yeah, Buona Notte." Right there and then, this was the first peaceful slumber that I had ever since I came to this place.
