No Escape From Reality

From BlueberryTeaLove

(England's POV)

"Did we really do that?"

"Heck yeah! We would do all sorts of pranks and stuff! Also, you and Prussia would get into these drinking contests.."

"Who won?"

"...I forgot dude. It was so long ago."

"Oh. Well I bet I won!"

"Man if Prussia was here with us now he'd totally challenge you again!"

"Hahaha I'd take him on! Come at me bro!"

I groan and rub my temples in irritation. This is probably the worst group choice ever. I probably should have asked Romania to go with them or something. Oh well, I was the one who picked the groups so I guess it's my fault for getting myself into this mess.

"I have a car?!" I turn to see Mathias staring wide eyed at America who laughs. It's good to see them getting along. Well, thinking about it, Mathias is Denmark and vice versa regardless of their reincarnation.

"Yeah! I'm taking care of it at my place first but once this is over you can totally have it back, dude." Says America, laughing. Mathias laughs along with him.

"Aww sweet! I can't wait to tell the others that I have a car!"

I suppose Luka wouldn't be too happy to hear that, considering how she refers to Mathias as her 'idiot brother'. That reminds me, I need to check on Sweden's car when I get home sometime. Thankfully we managed to get those cars otherwise who knows what might have happened to them if we left them there. They are pretty nice models.

"England! Hurry up man! You're so slow!" cries America, breaking me out of my thoughts. He's such a git, honestly.

"America, I would be careful if I were you. You don't know what's out here." I say, but America scoffs.

"Psh! Like there's anything scary out here! I'm the Hero anyway, nothing scares me!" America then laughs as I face palm. I sigh heavily. Are we going to be able to find anything like this?

"Hey! Look look!" America and I rushed to where Mathias was –for he went off ahead while I was speaking to America- and saw that he was poking around a bush, trying to pull something.

"What is it Mathias? I ask him. Mathias struggles to pull whatever he is pulling on.

"Hold on…" He says, "I've almost got it!" Suddenly his arms flail backwards and whatever he pulled flies out of his hands.
And almost hits America.

"Woah dude! Careful, that almost hit me!" Cries America; jumping to one side. I almost snicker but once I saw what Mathias pulled out I cease.

"Cool! Check it out!" Mathias runs over to the object and picks it up; swinging it around. "It's an axe! How awesome is that?!" America and I move closer to Mathias.

"Mathias." Starts America, "It's yours." Mathias stared at America wide eyed before staring back at the axe in his hands.

"M-Mine?" He asks. Both America and I nod. Mathias grins widely.

"Awesome!" I quickly step back as Mathias carelessly swings the axe around excitedly.

"Stop it!" I cry, "Do you want to hurt us?!" Mathias stops immediately but it is not because of what I said.

"Do you hear that?" Asks Mathias.

"Hear what?" Asks America. Mathias is silent.

"I don't know. It's a voice…it was mine?" All of a sudden Mathias drops the axe and falls to his knees; clutching his head in pain.

"AARRGHHH!"

Quickly, America and I rushed to his aid. I believe that he may be receiving a memory of some sort from the axe. Which makes sense, of course, since the axe belongs to him. But it makes me wonder why it is out here in the first place.

"Run…" Mutters Mathias. I snap from my thoughts and watch as America tries to comfort him.

"Run…Run..RUN!" Mathias then chokes out a cry and punches the ground in anger. I walk over and crouch down beside him.

"What did you see Mathias?" I ask him seriously. What he saw, most likely it has something to do with what happened. Mathias looks up at me with worried eyes.

"I..I don't remember. I just see this house…and four other men; Tino, Emil, and two others." He says. "Also..I think there were people in the house. I heard them say something about a weapon but that's it."

A weapon huh? What kind of weapon I wonder….more importantly, a weapon for what? As I thought this question over I didn't notice a rustling in the bushes.

"Bark! Bark!"

"Well well, if it isn't England and America...woa! Is that Denmark?!"

The three of us turn to see two animals; a bird and dog, staring at us from among the bushes. Mathias cries out in shock.

"T-That bird! It talks!"

"Oi! The name's Mr. Puffin! What happened to you anyway?!" Mr. Puffin flies over to Mathias who stares at the bird in wonder.

Meanwhile, the dog; none other than Hanatamago, runs over to Mathias and paws at his jeans.

"Dude, why are they here?" Asks America, picking up a slightly dirty Hanatamago in his arms. Mr. Puffin flies over to America.

"We've been here for the past twenty years you know! After what happened." He cries.

Wait a minute…

"Mr. Puffin," I say, "Does this mean, that you know what happened to the Nordic countries?"
