Note- This is really long.


Chapter 10 - Meeting Seychelles.

Mathew woke up to the sound of his father's screams. He didn't listen at first not until Francis came into his bedroom screaming at him. The screams still haunted Mathew as he sat next to Laryssa. Victoria was kidnapped.

"What is it, maple leaf?" Laryssa asked

"Have you ever let someone down?" Mathew asked tears filling in there eyes.

Laryssa nodded.

Mathew blinked and felt the tears fall down his cheek.

Laryssa gave a sympathetic look, and rapped her arms around him.

"Don't worry, maple leaf."

"I'm sorry little sister!" Mathew sobbed.


~Meanwhile~

Gilbert waited in the bushes for any sign Arthur had let Victoria be. The only hint Gilbert had was when the light in Victoria's room went out, and he heard foot steps down the hall. So, he decide to sneak in and kidnapped the girl back.

Gilbert got up from his potion at the bushes, and walked to the nearest window. He carefully pushed the window open crawling in, and landing with a 'thud'.

Gilbert cursed under her breath, but moved on like he knew any hero would do in this situation.

After turning down several dead end corridors and going in circles Gilbert finally made it to Victoria's room.

"Finally!" he mumbled under his breath.

Something wasn't right when Gilbert walked into the room, it had a deep smell of alcohol and smoke.

"What the hell?" Gilbert looked around for a light switch, but his hand was grabbed.

"Who the hell are you?" Gilbert was passed the point of being pissed, past the point of self gain. This had just turned into a revenge mission.

"Prussia?" came a semi- familiar voice. Gilbert couldn't place it in this dark smoke raising situation. Then his brain clicked 'If he would have raped her. He's done it already.' Gilbert remembered the same voice say this.

"Scotland?" Gilbert questioned softly.

In that moment the lights turned on, and Gilbert saw he was right.

"Do I have the wrong room?" Gilbert asked his cheeks burned with embarrassment from walking into Alexander's room while he was sleeping.

"Not if your looking for her." Alex pointed to the lump in the bed. Gilbert's embarrassment vanished when he realized this was indeed Victoria's room.

"So what are You doing here?" Gilbert asked almost hostile. Something about the atmosphere and the smirk on Alexander's face that made Gilbert want to punch him.

"I could ask you the same question." with that statement Alexander's smirk grew bigger.

"Don't give me crap, kid. Answer the damn question."

Alexander bent down towards Victoria. Gilbert was ready to punch the Scottish Bas-

"Here." Alexander whispered laying Victoria and a kitten into Gilbert's arms.

Alexander frowned when he saw Gilbert stand there.

"The faster you get her away, the faster I can wake up Arthur and wake him spas'." Alexander gave a light laugh and practically shoved Gilbert out the door.


~England's room~

"Double double toils and trouble scones burn and tea boils." Arthur repeated this conation over and over again in hopes it would result in a spell. But, sadly it did not.

~Hong Kong +Iceland's room~

"Xiang?" the Icelandic boy asked leaning over the side of their bunk bed.

"Can't sleep either?" Xiang asked Geir.

Geir shook his head 'no'.

"Are you worried about the girl?" Xiang looked up at his roommate.

"No."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"You." Geir carefully jumped off the top bunk and snuggled next to the Asian boy.

"Goodnight, Xiang."

"Good- Goodnight, Geir."


~Meanwhile- France and Seychelles Grandfather~

"Don't worry Monsieur (Mr.) France." the old Seychellois man spoke with many years of wisdom.

"Why should I not worry?" Francis said between sobs, "You in trusted me with your only granddaughter, and I could not protect her."

-fLaShBaCk-

Francis docks his ship in crystal clear water, and is greeted by an old man. In the man's arms is a sleeping little girl with long curly brown hair in a blue dress.

On the ship the girl wakes up and is scared. Francis smiles and gives the girl a large box wrapped in red ribbon. Francis is amused at the little girl not caring what was in the box just about the long ribbon. Francis cut the ribbon into two and tied it into her hair. When he was finished the girl had two curly bouncing pig-tails tied up in the red ribbon.

"I believe I am to blame." the man spook braking Francis from his flashback. Old brown eyes stared at Francis, "My granddaughter suffers from irregular memory lose."

"How do you lose your memory irregularly?" Francis stared back at the old eyes with curiosity.

"When she was a baby she was attacked by a swordfish. She hit her hard on a rock, causing this abnormal ability to lose her memory at a sudden moment."

"She'll forget about me too, no?" Francis curiosity turned to horror.

"I'm afraid so." the old man shifted to the front door when he saw headlights. "expecting someone?"

"Oh. That is just Gil-"

Francis' face turned to see Gilbert holding a sleeping Victoria.

"Gilbert- I- I"

Gilbert held up his hand to stop Francis' apology.

"I did this to prove the French are still the most perverted." Gilbert laughed, "Besides playing hero was awesome… Just this one."

Francis smiled down as his arms wrapped around his angel.

Victoria's eyes fluttered open to see a familiar, yet, unfamiliar face.

"Bonjour missour… Quel est votre nom? (Hello mister…what is your name?)" Victoria asked the blonde man holding her. She was shocked to see tears run down his face.

"My name is Francis, Angelica." Francis said while holding back a sob.

"How did you know my middle name?" Victoria said starting to get shocked.

"I told him, Victoria." her grandfather smiled at her grabbing her from Francis' arms. "Francis is a friend of mine. You were asleep, sorry if we woke you, dear."

"Oh. It's alright, grandpapa."


~Ten Years Later~

"Grandpapa, why do I have to go to school all the way in Pairs?' Victoria frowned in her red school uniform.

"What happened to that little girl who listen to me?" her grandfather smirked.

"She grew up." Victoria smirked back.

"So much like your mother. To answer your question, Francis requested it for you."

"Francis… oh. Yes! Your friend, right?"

"Yes, remember he help raise you."

"He did?"

"Indeed." her grandfather gave her a hug the waved her off so she could catch her plane.

~At the school~

The school was huge and fancy. How would she make friends in a place like this? Victoria could not remember a time of having friends that were not animals, still the feeling was there. I hope everyone here is nice-

"Hey! What the bloody hell are you doing here?" the Englishman asked with a shocked expression.

"Um… I'm going to school here." Victoria answered.

"You- You don't remember me do you?" the Englishman said raising his eyebrows.

"No should I?"

"No. not at all."

THE END!
