I'm just like James Bond, eh? Arthur chuckled softly.

Arthur did plan to go to the bathroom. He just took a different route than usual and ended up in the far north corridor of the Hall, where the musicians used to store their instruments. Abandoned for many years, it was obviously in bad condition- the wallpaper moody and damp, spiders dangling from huge webs, and rodents running everywhere.

Arthur concentrated on every feather-light step he took, partially hidden by the dark shadow. The chances of Russia spotting him were low, but one wrong move would have dreadful consequences. No, he must be careful.

Finally, he reached the room where he could hear voice, one of which was Ivan's.

For his hiding place behind the door, Arthur could see the seriousness on the other country's face. Ivan was trembling with rage, his hands clenched into fists.

Yao is mine, big nose.

Oh, shut up, you!

"брат…"

That was Belarus' voice! What is she doing here? Arthur narrowed his eyes.

"Belarus," Russia's voice slashed through the silence, so cold and empty even Belarus took a step back albeit a small one. "Didn't I tell you to guard Yao-yao? And make sure the English fool doesn't disappear? Why are you here? You'd better have a good reason or else…kolkolkol."

"Yes, brother, I know," Belarus said, strangely passive for someone who's usually so violent. "However-"

"Little brother, what's wrong?" A soft female voice called out, and Arthur heard hurried footsteps. Ukraine. "Why did you phone me?"

Then the Slavic nation switched to their own languages, leaving the vampire clueless about what they were saying, but instinct told him they very likely were discussing how to make his death as painful as possible.

"Brother, I know Mr. China is very important to you but this-this is too much!"

"Quiet, Ukraine. One word: debt, da?"

Ukraine kept silent after that.

So focused he was on Russia and Ukraine's conversation, Arthur failed to notice the presence behind his back.

ARTHUR! Don't ignore me!

"Brother, I have bad news," Belarus interrupted sternly.

"What!" Russia spun away and snapped at the blond nation.

"The vampire England has escaped. And I believe, brother, he is hiding behind that curtain."

Meanwhile, in the stand, Yao was blissfully unaware of the danger around him and was happily clapping with everyone else. It was a marvelous performance- such a shame England had to go to the bath room. Wait, where is he?

(-)

An arm snaked quickly around the English nation's neck and in a flash, he was been pulled by someone, then running as if for his life, which Arthur supposed was somewhat true.

"Wha-"

"Don't talk! Just run, for goodness sake!" The person pulling him yelled. Judging from the accent, it was Lithuania.

"Let go of me!"

"No! Do you want to die?"

It confused Arthur. Why was Lithuania helping him? Surely, he would be on Russia's side? He used to live in Russia's house, did he not?

Yet, he could not afford to think too deeply about these irrelevant questions right now.

Without Arthur noticing, the Baltic Nation had brought them into storage cardboard and shut the door. They panted, both exhausted from running.

England skid down the wall, his legs aching. "Explain," he demanded.

Still standing, Lithuania give the vampire a wearily look, "Right… Where to start?"

Short, but somehow I forced myself to continue this... The exciting part (aka the showdown) will be in the next chapter or so! I've got the basic idea down!

I'm sorry for not updating this story. But, when I look back, this story isn't really good, is it? Still, I'll definitely finish this! All your kind reviews made me feel gulity and I think I owe you all this~ =D

Review, and please don't murder me! ^^'
