Chapter 21: Demon
"Russia! We'll be leaving now!" Ukraine called from downstairs as Russia continued to finish his paper work in his study room. "We'll be back in a bit, is there anything you want?"
"Nyet," Russia called.
"Da, then we'll be back soon!" Ukraine buttoned her coat up then went out the door, Canada following behind her with Kumajirou in his arms.
"Bye Russia!" Canada called then closed the door behind him and followed out. Russia continued writing his paperwork out even against his exhaustion from staying up late the night before. He yawned a bit, sat back and stretched his arms out. He let out a small sigh before flinching a bit at sound he heard from the hallway. He paused for a moment then quickly and quietly stood from his chair and wondered toward the door. He cracked it open, that moment a shiver sent down his spine. His eyes widened as he saw him once again, standing there.
Then it all went black.
OOO
"Russia? Russia!" The Canadian shook Russia a bit, trying to wake up from his sleep. Russia flinched then quickly woke up, looking around very confused. "Russia? We're landing soon." Russia squinted his eyes, blinded by the lights on the plane, then rubbed his eyes.
"Landing?" He mumbled. "What do you mean landing?"
"The plane is landing?" Canada asked confused.
"What plane?…"
"The plane we're on?.." Canada looked at the drowsy Russian strangely as Russia rubbed his temples then blinked a few times. "Are you okay Russia?…"
"Da…" He mumbled again. "How long was I asleep?"
"You just passed out a few minutes after the plane went up." Canada scratched the side of his head, "Its been like… ten hours Russia…" Russia raised an eyebrow.
"I was asleep for ten hours?" He looked at the boy who only nodded. "You didn't wake me up at all?"
"Non, you told me not to."
"I did?" Russia continued to mumble as Canada only nodded slightly.
"Russia are you-" Canada tried to ask but one of the stewardess interrupted him to put his seatbelt on. He followed the directions as Russia sat back and rubbed his temples more. "A-Are you alright?… O-Or drunk maybe?"
"Drunk, nyet. Hung over? Possibility, I feel sick…"
"W-Well we'll have time before the meeting starts, you should try to take a nap or something…" Canada continued looking at him but didn't say another word as Russia turned away and let out a sigh. What's going on….
The moment they got checked into the hotel, Russia quickly laid down in bed and closed his eyes as Canada carried the bags in and laid them off to the side. He looked over at Russia trying to sleep then to Kumajirou, now what are we suppose to do? He hunched over in the chair to the desk and got on his phone to check a few emails, though nothing showed up. He kept looking back toward Russia every few moments though, just to see if he had moved. He hadn't moved a single muscle since he laid down.
Even at the meeting, when America was up and restless, France and England were arguing, Canada was ignored, Italy was as restless as America, and Germany was angry as always; all Russia did was sit there with a blank look… as much as he enjoyed the loudness over the silence, he didn't do a single thing. It even took a few times just to get him to answer questions. Every time Canada looked at him, the more worried he became. Kumajirou sensed it too…. Russia was completely blank.
"I need sleep…" Russia mumbled as the elevator in the hotel took them to their floor. Canada held Kumajirou in his arms as he looked up toward the Russian who had finally spoke after several hours, though that blank face was still there. "My head hurts…"
"Then yeah, you need some sleep… or you just need to lay down and rest alright?" Canada said in a low voice. Russia nodded somewhat with his blank expression still. The door opened and Russia stumbled out to their room, trying to open the room door but didn't have the key to. Canada came up next to him and swiped the key card in the door as Russia stopped trying and watched his hand. He pushed the door open and watched as Russia stumbled in and onto the bed once again. Canada put his bear on the small couch and sighed. He walked over toward the Russian and threw a light blanket over him before going into the bathroom to wash up before going to bed. He washed his face up and dried then looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. He went out to open the door and froze. "O-Oh!"
He gulped and looked up at Russia's blank eyes staring at him, standing there in front of the door. "R-Russia…" he backed away a bit and Russia didn't move an inch from his numb stance, his blank eyes staring at him still. "Russia… are you…" he looked as Russia slowly lifted up the alarm clock from the side table and quickly threw it at the boy who ducked and let it shatter on the wall. "Russia! What the hell! ?" Russia's fingers twitched as he stood still again before practically charging at the Canadian. Canada moved out of the way and let the Russian run into the wall as he quickly ran out to the room, but Russia quickly bounced back and got a grab on his hair and pulled him back to him by that. "Russia!"
Russia pulled him back into a wall then watched him fall to the ground. He looked up toward the Russian terrified. "R-Russia…" The Russian only looked at him with blank eyes and… that smile. It was wide… and evil. He pulled him over by his hair out to the middle of the room. Kumajirou growled and got ready to attack as Russia looked at him and growled back. Canada quickly tried to crawl away but Russia grabbed onto him and pulled him up to his feet. "Russia stop!" Canada cried as he flung him into the wall and wrapped his hand around Canada's throat and held him against the wall. "R-Russia!" He coughed as Russia's hand got tighter around his throat. His eyes looked almost through Canada as he tried grab a hold on his wrist and pull them away from his throat. He chocked more as Russia began lifting him off the ground, to the point where he couldn't reach the floor no matter how hard he tried and completely eye level with the attacker. "R-Russia… P-please…" Canada chocked out feeling his body shaking without the air in his lungs. "R-ru-.." his vision began to feel fuzzy and the light headed-ness got worse. He tried digging whatever nails he had into Russia's wrist but it didn't work. Russia's smile only grew, his blank eyes absent of pupils or reflection of light… he looked like a demon! "I-It's…m-me…" he tried saying one last thing, he could see Russia's eyes widened and felt him slowly put him down, his feet touched the ground and Russia's hand let his throat go and removed his hand. Canada gasped for air and breathed heavily looking at the Russian still. His eyes looked down then snapped back to the boy. He quickly grabbed onto his throat again and pushed his head hard into the wall.
Canada's eyes rolled back in his head as he fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Russia stood there motionless still staring at the wall where Canada once was. Finally, he snapped back. His head fell a bit as his eyes closed but he quickly lifted it back up and opened them. He froze in panic. He turned not knowing where he even was, he looked around until he heard growling. He looked toward the bed where he saw Kumajirou growling with full claws out. "K-Kuma-" the bear pounced onto him before he could finish the bear's name, quickly biting into his arm as hard as he could and having him fall backwards into the wall and even yell a bit in pain. He pushed the bear off his arm, taking some of the cloth of his clothes, and even some skin, with him. The outside of Kumajirou's mouth was wet with blood as his sharp teeth were tainted with the same crimson blood. Russia got his focus back and looked toward the bear "What in the hell was that for you stupid bear! ?" He yelled holding onto his wound.
"What you did to him!" Kumajirou growled.
"What I did to-" Russia moved his feet then felt the body the laid down before him. He froze the slowly looked down, his eyes widening in shock. "M-Matthew… Matthew!" he realized and quickly got to the ground and put his hand on the boy's shoulder, shaking it to wake him up but nothing happening. He looked to the boy's head where dark blood had already soaked the back of his head. Russia gulped with fear and carefully turned the boy onto his back, then checked for his breathing. "Matthew wake up please!" he begged. He touched the boy's cheek with his fingers and almost began to tear. He looked around spotting a phone he quickly ran over to it. "W-What's the number for emergencies!"
"911." Kumajirou crawled over to his owner and whimpered a bit, the boy still not making a single movement or sound. Russia quickly dialed the number and looked back at Canada. What have I done! ?
"911 what is your emergency?"
"M-My friend hit is head very hard, there's a lot of blood and he's not waking up."
"Alright where are you?"
"The HillsBurry Hotel… room 127"
"I've dispatched the ambulance and they're on their way okay?"
"…."
"Sir? Are you there?"
Russia already hung up and sat in front of the boy, his face pale and his lips almost blue. He gulped terrified, what was going to happen when they took Matthew to a hospital?… The whole "nations as people" how well would that work?… he didn't know what to do or how to expect anything. He grabbed a towel from the bathroom and placed it under Canada's head. He gulped then carefully put his arms under the boy and lifted him up onto the bed. Canada's hand fell off to the side and hanged off the side of the bed. Russia gulped still panicking. "Matthew please wake up…"
What have I done….
OOOO
He's okay… he's fine….
Russia stood outside the hospital room, looking in through the glass door at Canada sleeping in the bed, Kumajirou laying right next to him and occasionally looking up at his owner's face to see if he awoke, then laying his head on Canada's chest when he saw he wasn't awake yet. Russia gulped a bit and stayed outside the door, not wanting to go in fearing that we would end up hurting him more. I don't even remember… what I did… he kept looking back and forth from Canada to looking around the hospital hallway. I-its just stitches… that's all… I-I didn't hurt him too badly… he shook his head. "Damn it…"
"YOU BASTARD! ! ! !" He heard from down the hall as he turned and looked, America quickly punched him in the chin so hard he fell back against the door. Kumajirou looked up at the door and growled a bit from the inside. Russia looked up toward the American with not a happy face on. "You fucking bastard!" America yelled again. He could see England quickly running behind him and got a hold of the angry American before he could let out another wild punch.
"A-America," Russia stuttered. "W-Why are you-"
"Here? I'm his emergency contact do you think they wouldn't call me? !" he yelled more and caused the others around them to look, even security started to come over.
England tried to hush the two, "Can you both please stop before you're both kicked out and Matthew wakes up to neither of you?" They both exchanged hated glares but silenced themselves. "Good!" America gulped a bit and looked toward Russia again.
"I told you if you ever hurt him, I would kill you, Russia." He growled.
"I didn't mean to-"
"It doesn't matter if you meant to or not! The fact is you fucking did!"
"It was an accident and it's only a few stitches!"
"You cracked his head open Russia! His fucking skull was cracked open!" America yelled "They told me everything and they didn't tell you because they weren't sure who you were. Good fucking thing they didn't tell you either!"
"Watch your damn language America."
"I'm pissed! I'll use whatever fucking language I fucking want!"
"Enough! ! !" England yelled, "Both of you! Bloody hell, can't you stop yelling at each other for one bloody minute!" He sensed the security guard coming over and quickly managed to get the two to stop. "Just stop it. Matthew wouldn't want you two fighting and if he was awake he would be breaking you two up. So just stop it…. Please. You're going to get us kicked out." The two nations stayed silent now. "Thank you…" America looked away stubbornly then back to Russia.
"You almost knocked him into a coma Russia." America growled again before going into the room and almost slamming the door behind him. Russia gulped again then looked away again, somewhat peeking up at England.
"I understand that it was an accident…" England said, "But you can't blame him for being mad…" Russia nodded a bit and continued looking away from him. England sighed then followed into the room while Russia stayed outside.
OOOOO
"Al…" Canada muttered as his eyes slowly opened and he turned his head a bit.
"Hey Mattie, wakey wakey bro." America smiled a bit. "Don't move your head too much." he said petting the top of his head.
"It hurts…" Canada mumbled again.
"Yeah its gonna, for a while bro… Just get some rest and you'll be just fine."
"Mmm…" Canada only moaned as he opened his eyes more to see the room. "What happened…"
"You," America cleared his throat, "Hit your head. Hard…. Very hard. So don't move too much and rest." Canada tried nodding and closed his eyes again. America smiled a bit and pet his head a bit. "Good Mattie," he looked over toward England.
"France called me and told me he's coming now." The Brit said.
"Okay… and what about Russia?" He asked. England looked out the door seeing Russia sitting on a bench with his face in his hands.
"Out there."
"Good. I don't want him near Mattie." he growled. England simply sighed again.
OOOO
"You ever hurt him and I'll kill you"
"You won't hurt me Russia,"
"It won't happen, its just a dream…"
"I never wanted to hurt you, ever… I'm so sorry…"
"I can't stand seeing you hurt Matthew."
"Why would you say it's okay when you're hurt?…"
"Russie," Russia looked up toward the voice in front of him, France standing before him with a somewhat sad smile. Russia looked at him and frowned.
"I'm so sorry…" He said with his voice filled with sorrow. "I am…"
"I know, and I know you didn't mean to." France sighed. "Doesn't matter if I meant to or not, I did…" He gulped. "And I can't stand that I did.. I don't know how I can even apologize to him… he's going to be mad or upset or something…"
"You underestimate love Russie," France said. Russia looked at him still and frowned again. France gave a small glance to him again before going into the room. Russia stayed there and put his face in his hands again…
OOOO
Canada sat up in his bed feeling much better. The pain was much better to handle with the meds helping him. He rubbed his head a bit and looked at Kumajirou resting his head on the Canadian's lap. He smiled a bit and pet his head as the bear looked up at him. "I'm okay Kuma," he said softly. The bear crawled up on him more and licked his face as Canada smiled and pet his head more. He then looked around seeing no one was really there, seeing as it was very late. "Just you and me eh?" he smiled. Kumajirou nodded a bit and snuggled up to his owner.
The bear's ears flicked though and he looked toward the door and growled. Canada looked up in confusion then somewhat froze when he saw Russia coming in. "R-Russia!" he smiled but the Russian didn't look at him as he came in. Canada lost his smile and looked a way a bit but brought his eyes back and gasped when he saw Russia's arm wrapped up. "Y-Your arm! W-What happened?" He asked but hearing Kumajirou growl more. "K-Kuma… bit you? How hard?" Russia sat down in the chair closest to the bed with his head down still. Canada stayed silent as did Russia. He sighed then tried speaking again, "Russ-"
"I'm sorry Matthew." Russia interrupted. "I am… I lost control and I seriously hurt you, I did the one thing I never wanted to do to you; hurt you… So I'm sorry…"
"I-I know, it was an accident though Russia. You weren't in control."
"I know." Russia looked up toward him slightly. "But I'll lose control again, I'll hurt you again… I could kill you Matthew… So I'm sorry…" He stood up again and looked down at the boy. "I'm staying away from you, and you're staying away from me."
"W-Wha-"
"Stay away from me. I won't hurt you again, and this is the only way. I won't touch you, I won't even talk to you… I won't hurt you again… S-So stay away…"
"Russia what are you talking about?… p-please stop…" Canada looked up at him with eyes tearing up. Russia continued looking away though.
"Done. No more…. It's the only way I can be sure…" He bent over and kissed the boy's head. "I'm so sorry… Good bye…" Russia quickly rushed out the door and left the boy in a sad confusion. He looked down at his bear on his lap with tears already coming down his face… he looked back up the door and watched as Russia walked down the hall and out of his sight, wiping a tear from his eye himself….
