Chapter Ten
(Don't own or claim to own Hetalia. Just this story.)
Kumajirou had managed to escape the building to find out they were underground, he was now running through the forest as fast as he could. He made sure to remember where he had come from so to rescue North America.
His shoulder was starting to hurt but he pressed on, he knew he was being pursued with the sounds of people and gun shots in the air but they were slowly fading as he kept running faster.
He came to a river and saw a log over it, he ran across and just kept running until he came to a cliff. He had to stop as he looked around to see a small town below, he was relieved because he would be able to transform and make a call.
He once again heard the people who were after him so he looked for a way down quickly.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
Canada was pacing in his office as he was on the phone with one of his officials, "Find him! Look at all the footage! Find something damnit!" He hung up as he kept pacing, he was on edge because his shoulder was sore, he knew something was up.
He had been like this for a few hours, calling to see if they had anything yet but always he got nothing from them. He sighed as he sat in his chair and just put his hands over his face as he leaned back. There was a gentle knock on the door, "What is it?"
America opened the door slowly as he peeked in, "Is everything okay? You've been in here for hours and I'm beginning to worry." He stepped in and closed the door behind him. Canada sighed as he removed his hands from his face as he looked at the southern nation, "Kumajirou is missing, I have a feeling something has happened to him." He admitted to the other nation, "I guess that explains why I haven't seen him around all day..." Now America was worried.
Canada nodded slowly as he closed his eyes, "He's also injured, because we share pain.. If he's hurt then I feel it, if I'm hurt then he can feel it.." He rubbed his shoulder as he opened his eyes, "I hope he is found soon." America nodded his head as he agreed.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
Kumajirou found some coins and clothing so he was at the bar. He wore a black sweater with jeans and sneakers, he also had a hat to hide his ears, he walked into a small bar where there was a pay phone. He walked over to it and put the coins in. He dialed Canada's number, he didn't have to wait when his friend answered.
"Did you find him?!" The Canadian's voice sound frantic, "It's me! Kumajirou." He tried to hush his voice when he realized how loud he had been, "Kuma! Oh thank goodness! Where are you?! I've been worried sick!" Kumajirou smiled slightly as he was happy to hear his friend's voice, "In some small town, umm.." He looked around then told him the town, "That isn't far from here.. I'll send someone right away." Kuma frowned a little, "No, trust no one, you must come." He said then hung up.
He looked around before he walked out, he needed to find a place to hide while he waited, he looked around and noticed black vans, he frowned a little as he went back into the bar. He went to a more shader part of it and sat there, he needed to blend in somehow and try not to get caught. He noticed men walking in as they looked around, searching for him.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
North America gasped loudly as she bit her lip hard when a knife was stabbed into her shoulder violently. Her breath was shaking and hitched when the knife was moved, her body trembled in pain and agony but she didn't dare to scream. This torturing had been going on since Kumajirou had escaped but she felt pain all the time so she didn't scream.
The woman glared at North America, "You're so disgusting, you must be punished for existing." She hissed as she pulled the knife out, getting a gasp from North America but then she laughed weakly, "Why don't you people come up with something else? It's always the same thing, it's becoming meaningless those words, I'm not even scared of it." She laughed again but was slapped across the face, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" The woman repeatedly hit North America.
Somehow she managed to stay conscious even with all the blood lose and the hours of torture. The woman had given up and left.
North America wish the damn chains were off, they were heavy and were bothering her so much. It's funny to her that the chains were what she was thinking about then her wounds or finding a way to escape. She just had to wait patiently for Canada and Kumajirou to come and save her. She knew she was much too weak to escape on her own but still strong enough to stay alive.
She closed her eyes as she just enjoyed what little peace she had but that was ruined when the wretched woman was back, she cured herself for jinxing it. The woman grinned as she stepped aside, "Have her cleaned up quickly." She ordered as some men came in with medical supplies, "Come get me when you're done." She said before leaving.
The men approached North America, she was suspicious of them. She wanted to know why the woman was suddenly doing this. She closed her eyes once more as she forced herself into deep thought, distracting herself from the pain as they patched her up, cleaning off the dried blood.
She managed to make her body feel numb as she focused on what the woman had planned for her, she had a feeling the woman was planning to torture her but in a different way. She began to drift in and out of her body, well her spirit was, it was something she had learned to do many many years ago. But it was hard for her since she felt so weak.
She slowly opened her eyes as she noticed the men were finished and were leaving her. She felt slightly relieved but it soon disappeared as the woman returned.
"I'm glad you're still awake." She smirked then looked over her shoulder at two other men, they were rather tall, "Do what you wish to her." She laughed as she walked out.
North America felt like her heart just stop when it occurred to her what the woman meant, she was going to be raped by those two men who grinned evilly. She felt sick to her stomach as it felt so knotted, she was scared.
She looked up at the men, she gasped loudly as she was punched in the face, the other took her chains off, "We're going to have so much fun with you." The man who had hit her, whispered into her ear then licked her neck, she pulled away, "Get away from me!" North America cried out.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
Canada was on the road to where Kumajirou was, he knew it was a warning that someone who was working for him was behind it so had America get some of his most trusted men to come along with of course some weapons.
America was looking out the window of the black car, he then looked over at Canada, "What are we going to do once we get there?" He asked, the Canadian was silent for a moment, "We find Kuma and ask him what the hell happened." Was all he said as he stepped on the gas a little more, he had a really bad feeling about this.
The way the Canadian was driving they got there quickly but it was dark out. He pulled up to the bar where he had tracked Kumajirou call from, he got out of the car and went in, he had noticed his friend at the back of the bar. He walked over and sat down on one of the chairs, "How bad are you hurt?" He asked casually and softly so only his friend heard him, the American waited in the car.
Kuma shifted in his chair a little, "My shoulder hurts but I'm okay." He glanced at the nation, "They have Mary.." That was when the Canadian looked at him, "Who has her?" He asked, he wanted to know who he was going to kill with his bare hands, "Your secretary.."
Canada frowned a little as he looked at the table, "It upsets me.." Kumajirou raised his brow, "Oh?" He was curious, "It upsets me because I'm not surprised.. It doesn't surprise me one bit that it's her, I'm just disappointed that it is." He sighed, "I liked her, she always got the job done but I guess all good things must end." He said uncaring as he got up, "Let's go get Mary." Kuma nodded as he followed.
When they walked out, America was leaning against the car, "So, what now?" He asked as he noticed the two, he didn't seem that surprised that Kumajirou wasn't a little polar bear, he was used to the little guy and their weird ways already.
Canada got into the car, he waited for the other two to get in, "We have to save Mary from the kidnappers, so tell me where it is Kuma." Kumajirou was back to being a bear, he showed the nation on the gps that was in the car, "That's where it is, in some old cemetery." He told, Canada looked at it then nodded, "I know where that is, it's an old underground military base.." He mumbled before he pulled out of the parking space and got onto the road, with three vans following them, they were America's men.
"So what's the plan?" America asked as he got his gun loaded while Canada drove, "We're going to enter through a secret tunnel, it's in an old abandoned mine by the cliff." He explained as he drove there, hoping it was still holding up.
It didn't take them long to get to the abandoned mine, they geared up and Canada laid out a plan, "Kill everyone, I don't forgive traitors." He said to the men who nodded, also taking note to never get on the nation's bad side, "I'll get Mary out to safety, Al, you and your men will clean out the rats hole then I want you to bring it down with those explosives." He pointed to the bag, America nodded, "Got it Mattie, be safe."
Canada nodded, "You too." They were set so they went into the mine, Kumajirou went with Canada because he knew where they were keeping North America.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
North America laid on the cold cement floor, she stared at the ceiling as her body jerked hike one of the men thruster into her body. She just shut her mind off and stared blankly at the ceiling. It felt like this was never going to end, that they were never going to tire and just keep going one after the other. But to her surprise they did stop, the woman returned.
Her mind was slow as she slowly moved her gaze to the woman, she couldn't quite get what the woman was saying but she looked angry and what was that, fear? She couldn't get her mind to work as she just watched. The woman walked over then kicked her side hard but for her, she couldn't feel anything.
North America had gotten good at shutting herself off but she still had to get good at turning back on, she blinked as she was kicked again but this time to the head, that's when she actually felt something, a small tingle. She turned her head to look at the woman once more, her mouth opened slowly, "He's.. Here.. Now you're going.. To die." She managed to say.
The woman glared, "Fuck you! He loves me! He would never hurt me!" She kicked North America again, "He will.. Kill you.." Her eyes closed as she felt the darkness invade her sight.
The sounds of gun fire can be heard in the distance, the woman began to panic because they were getting louder, dangerously louder. Soon it was in the hall then it was deadly quiet until the door was kicked open, there stood Canada.
"Matthew.." The woman spoke up, "I didn't think you would get here so quickly.." The nation looked at her with cold purple-blue eyes but his gaze went to the floor, she frowned a little as she realized he was looking at North America laying on the floor with a bloody body and ripped clothes, "Mary.." He whispered, his voice cracked as his let his gun down.
He froze in his spot as he stared at her, he couldn't tear his eyes from her lifeless body but he noticed her chest rise slightly and knew she was still alive, barely thought. His eyes harden as he finally looked at the woman responsible for hurting her, "Why? Why did you do this to her?"
The woman looked down at North America before looking to Canada, "I didn't want to share you.. I wanted to be the only one you cared about.." Canada dropped his gun as he stepped forward, "I was never yours, I could never care for you like the way I care for her.. You are just tool, you mean little to me." He said with such a cold and heartless voice, the woman visibly flinched at his words, she teared up as she frowned, "You.. You heartless bastard!" She yelled.
Canada moved forward quickly as he wrapped his arms around her slender neck, he squeezed his hands, watching her trying to pry off his hands from her neck as she struggled and squirmed. Her face was red as tears rolled down her face. He just kept looking at her, his eyes showing more then a hint of red, his face darken as he just watched, "You should have just let Mary be, then this would have never happened.. You have only yourself to blame for this."
Soon the woman stopped struggling and her heart stopped beating. Canada released his hands around her neck and her body hit the floor with a sickly thud, he went over to North America, her took off his sweater and wrapped her in it as he picked her up, "I won't let anyone harm you anymore." He whispered as he kissed the side of her head then he walked out of the room, having no regrets in what he had just did.
~~~~~^w^~~~~~
Canada was sitting on a chair that was beside a hospital bed that North America was laying in, she had many machines hooked to her body, she was in coma. He just looked at her face, he hated himself more then he had before for letting her get hurt like this. He had canceled the meeting until the next day, he just couldn't tear himself away from her side.
He held her hand and kisses her knuckles gently, "I'm sorry this had happened to you.. You don't deserve this, you didn't deserve any of it, you only deserve happiness and good things." He sighed then he heard a small knock at the door, "Come in."
America walked in, "How's she doing?" He asked as he put his hands into his pocket as he stood awkwardly by the door, "She'll live.." He said as he never let go of her hand.
"Do you love her?.." The southern nation asked, "Yes.. I do." The northern nation said truthfully, "More then you love me?.." America was almost too scared to ask. He waited quietly for an answer.
Canada gently rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand, he just looked at her face. America frowned he took the silence from the Canadian as a yes, "You never loved me.. I see that now, it has always been her.." There was no reply from the other nation, the American looked away and left the room.
Kumajirou looked up at America as he closed the door behind him, "Canada only loves one person and that's her.. I'm apart of of Canada but I'll never be as important as her to him.." He said before he walked away, the American frowned, "I.. See that now." His voice was barely a whisper.
