Francis's POV:
My eyes were wide in disbelief.

"H-How are you here?" I asked, and she smiles, running up and giving me a hug "that doesn't matter" she runs a hand down my cheek "all that matters is that I am here right?" A tear drops from my eyes as I nod.

"Yes, that's all that matters."

Toris's POV:
"Edward how's it going?" I ask my brother through the video chat "it's going good, me and Ravis are still living and eating" Ravis shows up behind the glasses wearing boy "hi Toris" he says, and I wave.

Feliks sits down next to me "do you know where that money is going to end up?" He asks, and Edward types something on his computer "no, but I did manage to get you another 10,000" he looked back at us "you're welcome."

Ravis comes back "how were you going to get it anyways? It would likely end up somewhere you couldn't get to it" Feliks shrugs "we were, like, going to wing it" Edward glares "you can't just 'wing' stealing money, especially that much" he tells us, but
Feliks shrugs again.

"Anyways, the money is sent through the secret email I gave to you, just get it on a credit card or cash when you can" he instructed, and Feliks pulled up the mailbox, seeing the email "like, thanks Edward" Edward smiled "just helping my brother and his
boyfriend out."

With a final goodbye, we hung up the call and turned off the computer, sitting back on the couch.

Feliks looked at me "I wonder how Elizaveta is doing."

Elizaveta's POV:
"A is for ass that's what you gotta get, B is for bitch that's who you gotta hit, C ain't important, but D is for the dick" I loudly sang in boredom, laughing "the ass I want is Roderich's" I sigh, thinking about the hot Austrian.

Roderich lived here for about a year, and in that time we became sorta like lovers, but he left, although we never lost contact.

"The dick I want is obvious" I giggle "and the bitch I'm gonna hit is Gilbert as soon as I get my hands on him" I clinch my fists "I need my fraying pan to beat that fool."

I loudly groan "this is so boring!"

Alfred's POV:
A hard metal object came in contact with my head "ow!" I yelled, bringing my hand up to rub my head. I recognized the object as a frying pan "Elizaveta what the fu-?" "Where is she?" Emma hissed at me, and I turned to see the pissed looking girl.

"Who?" I questioned and Emma raised the frying pan "Elizaveta, you captured her" I narrowed my eyes "what the fuck? We didn't capture anybody, much less Elizaveta" Emma shoved a paper into my hands "what about this then?" I opened the paper.

'We couldn't get to axis, but we could get to you. Let's hope Elizaveta doesn't try anything because we aren't being very forgiving right now.
-Alfred'

I look back at Emma "I didn't write this, Feliks did" She lowered the weapon "how can you tell?" She asked and I shrug "I've seen his hand writing before" she just stares at me, trying to detect a lie, but she couldn't because there wasn't one.

"So...Feliks framed you for kidnapping Elizaveta?" I shrugged "seems like it, I guess they wanted to include another gang in the fight" I stretched "well I need to go try and find Matthew and Arth-" I stopped, realization hitting me at another person
missing.

'Francis.'

Emma looked at me in confusion and I began to walk away quickly "I need to go, bye Emma! Have fun finding Elizaveta!" I yell as I begin to run away, pulling out my phone.

"Hello?"

"Yao do you know where Francis is?"

"No, aru, I haven't seen him since last night."

"We need to find him, I hadn't heard anything and I'm pretty sure he was heavily drinking last night."

"Do you know where he could be? Me and Ivan will begin to look, he is calling Kat and Natalia as well."

"I don't have any idea, but I will start looking around the neighborhood."

"We will call if we find him."

"Ok, bye."

I hung up the phone as I turned the corner to our street.

'God damnit Francis where could you be?'

Tino's POV:
Me and Berwald walked down the street hand in hand, trying to have a small and relaxing couples walk.

But of course something stopped it from being relaxing.

I spotted the familiar hair of Francis laying on the ground in the grass next to the forest tree line. My motherly instinct turned on and I rushed over to him, seeing he was passed out.

From the heavy smell of alcohol I could tell he was out cold because of heavy drinking.

Berwald walked up behind me "what should we do?" He asked "I don't want to just leave-" I was cut off by him muttering something in his sleep.

"Joan..."

I turned to him, eyes wide at the name.

Everyone knew of Francis's dead love.

Out of the corner of my eye, with perfect timing, I saw Alfred running "Alfred!" I yelled, and his head turned. I pointed at Francis and his eyes widened, quickly running over here. He looked relieved at the sight of the Frenchman "finally I found you"
he bent down next to me "thanks for finding him Tino and Berwald, I got it from here" he told us, and we nodded, walking away from the blondes, turning only once to see Alfred picking Francis up.

Arthur's POV:
This was a mistake.

I ran at the highest speed I could, trying to get back to my house, hoping Alfred and Francis were there.

'I don't think Axis are following me.'

My mind went back to Matthew, who I had to leave behind.

'Oh that poor boy.'

~flashback, still Arthur's POV~
The only person watching us was Kiku, who just stared at us with zero emotion.

Matthew was completely silent and still, having not moved in about 20 minutes now.

I could see the two holes in his feet and the cuts and bruises covering his body.

'Feliciano must have been really mad, what did Matthew even do?'

I looked behind me at the door, feeling the ropes that bound me to the chair.

'I can escape this, I can get help.'

And that's exactly what I did.

~flashback over, still Arthur's POV~
I reached my street and checked behind me, luckily no one was after me.

'Now I know where Matthew is so we can attack the building and save him, Alfred is going to kill Feliciano.'

At the thought of the American I see him carrying Francis, the other 4 allies members closely behind. I speed up "Alfred!" I yell, gaining his attention. He turns, eyes wide at the sight of me. He quickly hands Francis to Ivan and runs to me, I stop in
front of him, breathing heavily from running.

He gives me a little time to catch my breath "I...know where...Matthew is" I get out in between breaths, looking up at him, then behind him at the others.

My eyes land on Francis, who is passed out in Ivan's arms "what happened?" I ask, sadness filling my system at the sight of him "over drinking, found him in the park near the forest" he explains, and my eyes turn sad.

I run past Alfred to the other 4, looking at Francis.

Kat looked to me "he was mumbling about Joan" she told me, and I put my hand on his cheek "let's get him in his bed, then I will tell you where Matthew is."

We get him in his bed, and I tell them where Axis is keeping Matthew.

The condition he is in comes back to me.

I look at Alfred "he was a bullet wound in each foot and is covered in cut and bruises" I warn.

I've never seen more rage on Alfred's face once I told him this.

Even Ivan looked a little scared of him at that moment.

"I'll kill those sons of bitches!"

I don't know what this authors note should say

So until next chapter!
