Maddie dried her tears with her sleeve of her shirt. She sniffled and looked around. She looked in awe at the beautiful flowers. Normally her favorite would be tulips or roses, but she liked them. Her favorite were the baby sunflowers in the colourful pots around the room. There were the normal kind, the ones with that had long stems.
She walked around the room. She took some sunflower seeds and silently chewed on them. Spitting up the shell and keeping the "meat" in her mouth. Something that her brother taught her a long while back.
She sighed. She missed alfred. She would love to see him again. But he never remembers her. Even if she is his sister. She wonders if he is even worried about her.
She wonder if he even knows that she is gone.
She shook that thought away from her, when she felt the hot tears weal up in her eyes.. She was not going to cry again.
She heard the doors open and frantically whispering. "Get the flowers, the long stems don't get the short. He likes the others better."
She walked over to the door and peered around the pillar at Eduard telling Ravis what kind of flowers he should use. The both looked extremely worried. "Hurry" Eduard said filling up a vase.
Ravis cut the sunflowers from the back and carried them out with Eduard. They left faster then they came in. Maddie followed them, confused on whats going on.
They led her to the main room and put the vase on the table and added the sunflowers. Torris was busy sweeping the floor and Ravis moved to dusting.
Maddie knitted her eyebrows together and looked at them. "Umm... Torris?"
Torris did not even look up. "R-Russia went for a drink." He said, fear seeping out of his voice. He was shaking and cleaned quicker.
"And is that bad?" She whispered?
The moment those words left her lips the room got extremely still. It seemed like No one had the right to move a muscle. It was still, completely still.
"Y-You do not want to see Mr. Russia drunk, Maddie... You do not want to see Mr. Russia drunk."
Maddie got the memo. She picked up a rag and wiped up the spills of water from the vase that was spilled.
Torris nodded his head and continued. He started to do the windows. They almost cleaned the whole house and was about to go to bed.
Maddie grabbed a coat. "Hey guys, I'm going to town, I will be back in an hour."
They all looked at her like she was crazy. Or at least a monster with three heads.
Maddie shrugged and slipped on her boots and walked outside.
She needed to get out. She knows its a bad idea without Russia. But right now she could care less. She trudged through the snow and walked down the road.
Her toes were frozen by the time she got to the town. She walked over to the pub and walked in. She gasped at the warm air that hit her body when she walked in.
She usually doesn't drink, and highly hates the taste.
Unless she is stressed. Or if she is at the party. She likes to drink for fun with her friends...well she would, if she had any friends.
She shook her head and sat at the bar.
"Can I help you?" A young man (about her age) asked her kindly.
Maddie smiled sweetly. "uumm.." She thought about what she would like, "Surprise me, but not a heavy drink. And anything but vodka" She wrinkled her nose up in disgust.
The bartender laughed and turned around and made her a cocktail.
He is pretty cute, Maddie thought, all flushed. And plus he actually noticed me.
He came with a glass. The tender smiled at her and set it down.
"Name's Elliot" He grinned putting his head on hands looking at her.
"M-maddie."
"So why are you here, love? Don't you know its dangerous this time of night around these parks?"
She nodded. Not wanting to tell him a lot of things about her life. " uuh, I guess, Guy troubles." She smiled weakly.
He looked sad, but quickly hid it with a smile. "Well You may tell me if you like. I AM a guy after all."
She smiled sweetly. "No thanks, I don't think you could help it with this one." She was silent for a moment. "But thank you for offering."
He nodded his head and held up a quick gesture saying 'wait for a second.' Elliot quickly served another costumer and walked back to the girl, who is almost finished with her drink.
"Refill?" He asked politely.
Maddie looked down at her drink and slightly shook her head. "I-I don't have much money..." she trailed off in a whisper.
He smiled at her, taking her glass. "Don't worry about it! Its on the house. After all it isn't often that we get a pretty girl like you around these parks." He winked, filling up the glass giving it back to her.
Looking down, Maddie flushed.
"I'm guessing you're not from around these parks, are you darlin'?" He said.
She shook her head. "uum, no I am not." She noticed his accent. "Your not either, huh?"
Elliot did not look surprised at all at the question. "Nope, I'm from England, Moved here when I was 10 with my parents." He laughed at himself. "Why you here."
Maddie shrugged. "I did not really choose to be here..but now I am stuck here."
"Why?"
Maddie smiled at Elliot. "Nosey are we?"
He shrugged, looking embarrassed.
She looked at him with a thoughtful glance. "Guy problems." She took a gulp of her alcohol, "Like I said before..."
He looked at her and then a scream down the bench from a drunken man, "Больше водки! Это не работает!"
"Ay" He said, getting another glass of it. "Но это ваша пятая бутылка"
The man stared at the tender. Elliot put his hands up in defeat, giving him the bottle. The man quickly drinks it.
Maddie stared at the man wide eyed. She knew him.
In fact, he was the reason she was here... In this hell hole.
That drunken man, was Ivan.
Elliot walked back over to her and smiled, "See? You are not the only ones having relationship problems here."
Maddie was shaking, but she nodded her head in reply. She decided that she is going to act like she did not know him. It was the easiest way of not drawing attention to herself.
"Who is he?"
"You never heard of Braginski?"
She shook her head.
Elliot sighed, "Braginski is the most powerful man in Russia. He usually can hold in his vodka really well. But he is going over board tonight."
Maddie nodded her head, looking over at him.
Elliot continued, "He keeps crying about this girl, saying what ever he does, it never turns out right."
Her throat closed up. She did not mean to bring him down this much.
"There is rumors about this girl. Many have said that this girl is a beauty, but just as lonely as Braginski over there. The people I have talked to about him is that he took this girl because he wanted a friend, persay." Elliot looked over to russia, whose head was on the table and lazily drinking his sixth bottle of vodka. "I believe those rumors, or at least, I do now."
Maddie tilted her head in confusion.
Elliot smiled, "You best on better be going home now, love, before Braginski wakes up. He can be quiet a crab when he wakes up." He cheerfully took her glass away laughing.
Maddie smiled, wondering how did he know. "Ho-?"
"Like I said before, love. You don't get pretty girls coming here, late at night, alone." He smiled. "Good night Maddie, have a safe trip home."
She grinned at him, "You to." She looked at Russia one last time, and walked out the door. She figured that giant can get home fine, if he got here alright.
She closed up her coat tightly and began to walk home in the bitter cold.
(A/N: I was going to end here...BUT since you are lucky ducks, I am going on 3 )
Maddie trudged through the cold again, having the night be pitch black made it harder for the girl to walk home.
She finally made it, feeling like she has been waling for years to the big house.
She opened the iron gate and walked in, feeling the warmth hit her like it did in the Pub.
She took off her boots and coat and hung it on the hook to dry, she wobbled upstairs. She knew she was drunk, she only drinking not even two glasses of a weak drink. But she was extremely tired from the long day.
She found her room, one that she hasn't slept in for a while and collapsed on the bed, quickly falling asleep.
Torris walked down stairs, hearing the front door open. He stayed behind the pillar, seeing it was only Maddie. He was worried. The girl should not be out this late in the middle of winter, and in a land that she did not know anything about.
Maddie could have easily gotten lost.
He breathed a sigh of relief when she made it home safely. He watched her go to her room and then walked back to the kitchen making coffee to keep himself up a little bit longer.
Eduard and Torris Usually take turns trying to calm russia down when he is drunk. They know Ravis was to small to do that type of task. Torris found that smashing drugs in coffee, giving it to Russia was the best task.
Russia just can't find out.
He sipped his own coffee, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Torris longed for the warmth of his bed, but he knew that he would need to stay away.
Moments later he heard the front door slam shut with an angry grunt. Russia heaved his way into the kitchen.
Torris froze. Russia usually stayed in the living room, or went strait to bed. "W-would you like some coffee, M-Mr. R-Russia?" He asked walking over to the pot, grabbing the pill bottle, quickly stuffing it in his pocket.
Drunken violet eyes met Torris's, moving down to where the hand was in the pocket. "Torris?"
"Y-yes Russia?"
"Wha- Do jou have...in jour p-pocket?" Russia slurred his speech.
Torris eyes grown wide, "N-Nothing, sir!" He squeaked.
Russia's hand shot out and took Torris by the upper arm, yanking him to him. "Don't let me a-ask jou a-agian."
Very slowly, he removed the pill bottle from his pocket with a shaking hand. Russia snatched it out his hand, reading it.
"Sleeping pills?" His eyes growing violent. Russia looked at the coffee and back at the pills. He put two and two together and looked at Torris again.
"How many times did you knock me out using these?" Russia's nails dug into Torris's arm, drawing blood.
Torris gasped, not answering.
Russia threw him on the ground, and knocked the coffee off the counter making a loud crash. He grabbed his metal pipe and raised it above his head in a murderous view. Torris's heart sped up as the metal made contact with his body.
He let out a peircing scream.
Maddie jumped awake, hearing the scream. She quickly ran down stairs.
Hoping, praying she wasn't too late.
HOW WAS THAT!
