Chapter 14

"Mama wake up!" Trollkin ordered out as he shook Norway until the adult groggily woke up. Upon seeing Norway slowly open an eye the child tackled him, causing the nation to instantly wake up.

Now awake, Norway quickly held the child still and scanned him for any sign of harm. To his luck, the child simply looked dirty with nothing else saying he was hurt. Norway then looked at the child sternly and asked, "Trollkin, where have you been?! Do you have any idea how worried we were about you? Denmark and Shetland are still probably looking for you…and me now."

"…Sorry Mama," Trollkin replied glumly, looking down at his lap to show he was sorry. Trollkin hated having the few people in his life angry with him, especially Norway, and upon seeing this Norway could not help but sigh and feel a little bad for yelling at him.

Deciding to look at where he was now, Norway scanned the room to see that he was in a small cabin lit by a small fire. Unlike the last time he awoke to be in a cabin, however, this one looked to have been abandoned many years ago. He then looked back to the child and asked, "Did Troll bring you here?"

Trollkin, missing the slight amount of anger in Norway's voice, happily smiled and nodded his head, only to then continue, "Papa found me and here."

"I see," was all Norway said before he got off the floor and decided to wander around the room; Trollkin following him curious as to what the adult would do.

It did not take Norway long to find the door, grumbling to himself when he realized that it was barricaded shut from the outside. Nevertheless, it did not take Norway long to will up the strength to open it, only for him to then look out at the now night-filled forest with a slight frown. He had not explored the nearby forest all that much, only a couple outings near the house to humor Trollkin, so he was not exactly sure where he was. But that was not going to stop him from getting away from Troll who had obvious lost some parts of his senses. A chill ran down his spine as he thought about what Troll might try next.

After a few moments to find his bearings, Norway turned to the child, took his hand, and began to lead him into the forest. Trollkin was a bit nervous about this, not liking the idea of leaving the shelter to walk in a dark forest, but Norway did not allow the child time to fuss over something like that.

They walked for a while, the forest getting darker by the minute, but Norway refused to stop. Soon it passed Trolkin's bed time and Norway had to carry the exhausted child. This did not phase the nation, however, and soon he thought he could see some fleeting lights. Heading in the direction of the lights, he made his way to what was actually a road. He smiled slightly as he noticed a sign, knowing that he would have a much easier time getting home now.

"Great, and now we have two people lost," Shetland commented as she and Denmark walked back to the house. It had grown dark, and not wishing to get themselves lost also they decided to head back and think of a new plan.

"Well, maybe…hopefully he found Trollkin and now they're lost together," Denmark replied, trying to find some bright side to this.

"And how would that be good?" Shetland asked confused and irritated.

"Because. One, once Trollkin starts complaining Norway will be even more likely to try finding his way home. And two, even if they are really lost, at least then we're looking for one group instead of two," Denmark explained, smiling slightly to try seeming convincing.

"And what about Troll? What if he finds them first?" Shetland asked, deflating Denmark's smile.

Denmark knew that troll had been acting weird, even before he left. And if Troll did find them he did not know what would happen. At last he said, "We can only hope that Norway is able to think his way out of something bad if that happens, okay? Now stop with the worried questioning! Let's instead go inside and have something warm to drink. And food, I don't know about you but I'm starving!"

Shetland nodded slightly to this and followed the adult into the kitchen. There the two warmed up and began to wait as Shetland soon dozed off and Denmark kept a worried look-out.

Troll was not happy to come back to the cabin to find the door open. He was even angrier to find that his family was nowhere in sight; causing him to frown and shake his head frustrated. Why was Norway being stubborn? After all, he could tell by the smells that Norway had escaped without the help of anyone else. All Troll wanted was his family, and he had hated having to share it with others. He had been patient and lenient, much more than his other brethren would be, but that was starting to run thin. With all this in mind, he began to head to where he knew Norway would go; his house.

Even shorter (sigh)
