After climbing up to the surface, Denmark, Gilbert and Francis helped carry Alfred to a car that was parked a little ways away. Not given much time to prepare herself from the impact, Matthew was tackled to the ground by Arthur.

"Oh Matthew! Are you okay?! Did you break anything?" Arthur pulled herself away and examined her friend. She frowned slightly when she saw the darkening of bruises and lacerations in various places. Kumajiro looked scuffed up as well.

"I'm fine Arthur." The Canadian smiled while looking around and spotting two new faces. The one closest to them made Matthew shrink, scarlet gems seemed to be watching her every movement. Light brown hair framed his pale face. He smirked at Matthew showing off a sharp canine tooth. Deciding to look away, she settled her eyes on the second guy. He looked bored and slightly irritated. A curl similar to her own stuck out of his pale blonde hair that had a cross clipped in it. Dull dark blue eyes registered Matthew and nodded toward her.

Arthur helped Matthew off the ground and they headed toward Vlad's car, which slightly resembled a hearse. (Francis had been reunited with his car.) The rest followed in Matthias' car to the hospital.

….

"Why'd you have to take me to the doctor?! You could've healed me with your magic powers! I could've-" Alfred gasps at his idea. "I could've been like Captain America!"

"Magic doesn't work that way you git!" Arthur flipped her long blonde hair.

The group, after a visit to the hospital, had made their way to Vlad's house and were now sitting in the living room while Vlad was getting preparations ready for his spell. Matthew sat on the old antique looking couch with Lukas brooding to her left and a bickering Arthur to her right. Alfred sat on an armchair right next to the couch. His glasses, like Matthew's, were missing and he had bandages all over his face and body. A dark bruise was developing on his forehead and bridge of his nose.

"Arthur, why don't you stay a girl? You look much better this way~"

"Buzz off you wanker." Arthur blushed and crossed her arms.

Mattie looked over to Prussia who had been staring at her this entire time. Heat rose to her cheeks, copying the color of Gilbert's eyes. He gave her a smirk. Alfred caught this exchange of stares and felt jealousy fill him. Getting up from his seat he stood in front of a surprised looking Matthew. She gave out a squeak as he launched himself at her. Arthur and Lukas jumped at the impact.

He wrapped his arms around her protectively and glared at Gilbert. "Mattie's mine and I'm not giving him. . . Um, her, to anyone!"

Matthias and Francis both laughed as Arthur smacked Alfred's arm repeatedly. "Get off of her you idiot!"

"Aw Artie, are you feeling left out?" Alfred smiled at her.

"Wh- No! Of course not-"

"Ohonhon, no need to feel left out. Come into my arms and I shall shower you with love~"

"Fuck off Frenchie." Arthur punched the Frenchman in the face.

Pressed up against Alfred's chest, Matthew could hear the strong beating of his heart. Would this come to an end once she returned to being a boy? She liked it when Alfred held her so close to him. Holding back her tears, Matt closed her eyes and listened to the rhythm of his heart.

"It's ready." Vlad's voice interrupted them. Arthur and Lukas nodded and got up. The blonde girl looked over her shoulder waiting for Matthew to come along.

"Well?"

Matt looked up, lavender eyes that just screamed out and revealed her fear.

Arthur furrowed her eyebrows. "Matthew?"
