Chapter 14: Labyrinth and Memories
Germany stared at the note before England took it out of his hands; he twitched as he read the massage, He crumpled the paper and proceeds to stomp to the said door. The door was colour white with a gold doorknob, there`s a piece of paper on the door. England proceeds to read it.
So beautiful and white yet so Cold
Just like his pale skin
Yet when I touch it I`m afraid it`ll melt
Just like him...
England stared at the piece of paper for a while before finally losing it "AHH! What does he mean beautiful, white and cold!" England pondered about it for a minute then he remembered something.
"Arthur look it`s white outside!"
England stared out the window for a while before smiling "it`s called snow"
"Snow?" the young American asked.
"yes snow it`s white and soft but very cold" he said.
The child stared out before he murmured "I don`t like the cold..."
"Iggy!" America called as he stared out of his porch into the now white garden.
Sipping from his hot tea he replied "what is it git?"
America took a long sip of his cocoa before asking "why does the snow melt whenever you touch it?"
England stared at him for a while before replying "I don`t know, maybe because the snow is cold and we are warm"
America removed one of his gloves and a snowflake fell on his warm hand, Immediately the snow flake melted into water and he stared at it for a while "Just like him...I wonder if he`ll melt if I touch him..." he murmured.
"Huh?" was the only thing he said.
"Nothing..." he stared blankly at his and for a good Ten minutes before saying "let`s go inside it`s cold and I hate the cold..."
"Snow..." was the only thing he said.
"What did you say?" Canada asked as he watch England type in the letters.
SNOW was typed on the security system before the door opened automatically. The room was whit and there are paper snowflakes hanging on the wall along with a few mittens and mugs on the table. Everyone stared at the room, It was weird everything could remind you of snow or winter. England noticed a familiar object just on the bed, a long scarf designed to look like the American flag was neatly folded and placed on the bed and a key placed on top of it along with the note. England picked it up and read it.
Go out of the room and got to your left by the end there`s a hall follow it and stop by the room the portrait of Arthur and I at the left side is the next door.
Japan watched the screen horror written all over his face, he was watching everything. at first he was relieved that England was alright but got worried about America`s plan. He was so concentrated at the screen that he didn`t noticed America has already walked up behind him; he flinched when America placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Enjoying the show?"
"No!" the Japanese man spat out "how can you do this!"
"Because...I Love you..." he said hugging the smaller nation.
The other started crying and trying to push him away "please stop this...please" he pleaded.
America stared at the screen for a while before replying "I want him to remember a few things before I end this game..."
Japan wanted to protest but America already left.
They arrived at the room; the portrait America was talking about was when he was little he was seated on England's lap while England was seated on the couch. Another note was on the door, they brought the key and the scarf as instructed but now they are reading the darn riddle.
I hate the cold
He gave me warmth
I love him so
he`s so warm like his gift
Now Everyone felt like just knocking the door down, how are they supposed to know America`s personal life. Italy and Germany aren`t that close to America, and so is France and Prussia, which leaves England and Canada to answer the riddle.
Prussia was losing patience and banged on the wall "let`s just open a random door!" he yelled.
France and Canada Tried to stop him but he already tried to knocked down the door beside their door but as the door came down an arrow shot out of nowhere, luckily Prussia barely managed to dodge it.
"What the Fuck! That was so not awesome" he said, he received a hit on the head by Canada.
"You idiot what will happen if you get hit...what will I do?" his eyes still filled with worry.
"hey Matt I'm sorry I'll be careful next time don`t cry" he then note something tied on the arrow "oh ho what`s this?"
I told you the wrong door could be your downfall
There are much more dangers aside from a single arrow
Luckily you didn`t get the one coated in poison
Well good luck
and because of this everyone`s face paled. England gulped and continued to try and remember a few things.
"Oi, Alfred what are you doing?"
America hid something behind his back "Nothing!" he stammered.
England didn`t believed him and took the Item hidden behind his ex-colony "a...Scarf"
America blushed "It was a gift...for my birthday..."
"really? Who gave it to you and why are you hiding it?"
"No reason...It`s warm just like him..." he murmured.
"Who?"
"nothing it`s my own secret..."
"Something warm...just like him..." he looked down at the scarf, and he remembered Japan's warm smile, his rare smile which was only shown to a few. "Scarf..."
He typed the word SCARF and the door opened again, inside was an Empty room and there's only one thing inside it, it was a small jewellery box. Prussia tried to open it but it was locked, remembering the key they tried it on the hole and it fits perfectly, inside was a key and another note.
Go up the stairs at the end of this hall, there will be three hall once your upstairs take the one at the middle by the end there's a door and that`s your destination.
"Ve~ when will this be over?"
"Be patient Feliciano, For Japan be patient"
The brunette flung himself to the German "Ok Ludwig, for Japan..."
The German blushed but just continued to follow the others. They followed the directions given to them and again a note was on the door, England read it and sighed in frustration.
I remember I was given a present
But the person who gave it to me meant it for someone else
I was jealous, not to the person the gift was for
But to the person who wanted to give it to him
"Does he have to bring it up!" he said remembering another piece of their past.
"Alfred do me a favor!"
"What is it Iggy?" the blond asked as he look up from the papers.
He handed him a box, America stared at it for a while "take it..."
America looked up to England "what`s this a present?"
England became frustrated and started yelling "of course not! I just want to get rid of it!"
"Then why do you want to get rid of it?"
"I can`t give it to him..." England replied hiding his blush.
out of curiosity America opened it and found out it was a locket "what`s it for or should I say Who?"
"Promise me you won`t tell anyone"
The American sighed "Of course...but I already have a clue" he murmured inaudible.
"What!" England`s face became redder.
"Nothing so to who?"
"J-Japan..."
England Sighed and typed in the word LOCKET, as usual the door would open and revealed a bed room, the room was Alfred`s old room, his old soldiers and toys are arranged neatly in the room, At first England was surprised then he noticed a very familiar Silver necklace, he approached it and picket it up, it was a beautiful silver locket with a rose engraved on it. Beside it is another note and a key.
Great Job
now here`s your problem I`m in one room and Kiku`s in another, if you ever want to find him or me then you guys have to choose from these locations.
go to the very first hall then at the end there`ll be another hall at the left entered that hall follow that hall there`s only one door and that`s the last door you`ll need to go to.
go the third hall and follow it until you reach the end, Open the door at the left which leads to another hall way, enter and just follow the hall there`ll be only one door, you`re last destination
Good luck
England sighed in frustration, rooms one or Two? He turned his face to the others and ripped the note in half, "Germany Italy and France I want you guys to follow this path, Prussia Canada you guys are coming with me!"
