In the cold, windy morning of 1 October, Iceland was sleeping peacefully in her bed under her blanket.

Suddenly, Iceland's pet bird, Mr. Puffin went closer to her to wake her up.

"Yo, tough lady!" Mr. Puffin snapped "Wake up, tough lady!"

Iceland slowly got up with her eyes narrowed and with blurred vision. She asked:

"Uh, what is it?"

The puffin answered:

"You big bro Norway is going with Estonia and Finland to investigate one case. You and Ireland will stay here. I will be here too. And... FEED ME NOW!" Mr. Puffin exclaimed.

Icey mumbled as she rolled her eyes:

"Uh, why do I own this annoying bird..."

Then, Iceland got up and dressed up.

She went to the kitchen. Iceland excepted that the others were there, but instead there was a note in the fridge.

'Icey, we are going to investigate about the bombings in your country and will come after few hours. There is some licorice on the table waiting for you. That's all you need to know.

- Finland'

After she noticed that the word 'bombings' was mentioned in the note, Iceland slightly shivered. Her violet eyes filled with tears, but she held in.

Icey ate her breakfast, fed Mr. Puffin and went to her room. There, she found Ireland siting on the bed.

"Dia dhuit ar maidin, Íosland!" Ireland beamed.

Iceland just looked at her with embarrassment.

Icey sat on the bed, beside Ireland, still grumpy.

Ireland had a huge smile on her face and went closer to Icey.

Iceland took a deep breath and mumbled:

"Uh, it's so boring..." then Icey headed up and asked Ireland "What can we do?"

Ireland pat her younger friend on the shoulder and laughed:

"To go outside?"

"Where?"

"Ya will see."

Meanwhile at Estonia's Criminal Investigation Service...

Norway, Finland and Estonia were investigating about the Iceland bombing which occurred on 26 August 2029.

Estonia was searching some info and evidence on his laptop. Norway and Finland were looking behind him, wondering what is going on.

Estonia arrived into a private website. He managed to break the password and the ID of that website and enter it.

"What's that website?" Finland asked.

Estonia turned at him and answered:

"This site could be the answer".

The website where he entered was kind of shock site, similar to LiveLeak or BestGore.

As he searched for stuff related to the Icey bombings in the website, Estonia found three videos. They weren't very long and had these names:

"A car bomb enters the Glass Tower in Reykjavik and detonates"

"Reactor 2 of the Hellisheiði Power Station explodes"

"Arab Muslim man insults the Icelanders, forces them to kill themselves and threatens them that Iceland will become and Islamic Republic"

The three Northern nations played the first video. It showed the Glass Tower in the city centre of Iceland's capital. It's pretty normal and peaceful, until a black van enters it. A minute later, the Glass Tower exploded, the ground is rocked, people are screaming, and several minutes later, the building collapses.

"That's horrible..." Estonia said "I feel so bad for Icey..."

When the "A car bomb enters the Glass Tower in Reykjavik and detonates" video ended, the second video "Reactor 2 of the Hellisheiði Power Station in Selfoss explodes" played.

The second video showed the third pipe of the power plant. To the left was the block number 2. A "boom boom" was heard, as something in reactor 2 detonated. Right after this, there was smoke everywhere. But this video had very low and bad quality.

Finland raised an eyebrow and inquired:

"Okay, what this video showed?"

"We watched a rare footage." Eesti explained "Those things at the end are the melting graphite bricks. Their high temperature is causing uplifting currents of the air that lifts radioactive particles."

"Oh, I understand." Finland added "Did you understand, Norway?"

But Norway didn't answered. He just stood and watched emotionless like always.

Estonia looked at the laptop one more time and said:

"And now, we are going to watch the third video."

He played the third and last video. This video was pretty scandalous.

It showed a man with 'southern look' and black hair and a slightly-beard in his 30's, wearing black clothes. The background was a wall, which had the ISIS flag on it.

That man was saying:

"If I were on your place, you Icelandic neanderthals, I would have committed suicide, I would kill myself if I was an Icelander. Because, let's see if someone come on the road, someone to appear in front of me - I'll beat him up, I'm gonna to fuck his mother and I'll fuck it up in his mouth. I'll just fuck his family. I hate the Icelanders, do you understand, I hate them with a passion. You are just low IQ Albinos, inferior creatures, Nordic garbages. You Icelanders are shit, you are snivels. One junk. You are nothing. You do not serve anything. I'm making this video to my say words and put you on the place, where you belong. Because, you are just low IQ Albinos, inferior creatures, you are Nordic garbages. You Icelanders are perverted creatures. You go to steal and then shout at us, "Arabic dicks!!!" And they started to blame the Arabs. Well, Arabs are where else from you. In light-years we are from you, high. And you are at the bottom of hell - at the bottom of hell! Do you understand me? You Icelanders must die, to kill yourself! Hopefully you die all, go fuck your mother's pussy, stupid Icelandic neanderthals. We, Arabs will take over your country, enslave your children, rape your women and impose Islam and Sharia law in Iceland. You, Icelanders shall die with all inbelieviers!"

Then the video ended. Norway, Finland and Estonia remained with embarrassed expression. Eesti moved his glasses a bit and added:

"I know how to react exactly every time, but now..." after his words, Estonia closed his laptop.

Ireland and Iceland were outside. Ireland was wearing a dark green sweatshirt with a hoodie, black jeans and sneakers, and Iceland - silver-blue unbuttoned sweatshirt, blue jeans-shorts and knee-high boots. Icey's hands were in the pockets of her shorts.

Mr. Puffin was flying over them.

"And where are we going now, Ire?" Iceland asked.

Ireland looked at her with a smile and answered:

"Well, we are going to a walk. Do you know how o'clock is?"

Icey looked at her hand clock and said:

"It's 7:17 PM. Nor-dude will come home maybe after 4-5 hours."

The two island nations walked several minutes in a good-looking forest, and later stopped in front of an abandoned building.

More than 30 minutes passed when Ireland and Iceland found that abandoned house. Mr. Puffin got on Icey's shoulder.

The two ladies and the bird walked around the abandoned building.

"Let's look around this house..." Ireland said quietly. "I find it interesting..."

While Eire just smiled and found that house nice, Iceland rolled her eyes and snapped:

"Now let's get in."

Ireland, Iceland and Mr. Puffin entered the abandoned building. It was pretty dark in there and it was a complete mess.

"And here we are! We are inside!" Ireland beamed.

Suddenly, the electricity extinguished. Icey looked around with anger on her face and demanded:

"So, the electricity stopped. Someone obviously has not paid his bill."

Then Ireland told Iceland happily:

"Don't worry!" and took a flashlight which was in her pocket.

"Thanks..." Icey took the flashlight and turned it on.

She looked around, using the flashlight to see what is going on in the abandoned house.

The daub of the walls and the ceiling was sheared off, there were also traces of blood, from years.

"Watch, watch what's going on here ... misery. Complete misery, bro..." Iceland said angrily.

The two continued walking around the house, and found downstairs. They walked downstairs, lightning around with the flashlight.

Ireland, Iceland and Mr. Puffin went closer to one door.

"And what are we doing here?! Opening doors and walking around?!" the puffin snapped.

Icey opened the door and they got into a closet. She asked:

"Huh, What is this closet...?!"

The closet was dark too, there were a lot of boxes and a door leading to an another room.

"Boxes... what's inside...?"

Iceland went to the other door and tried to open it, but it was bent or locked. She inquired:

"But how do I open this door, as it is bent?!"

Ireland, Iceland and Mr. Puffin left the closet and continued.

They went to the kitchen. There were a table, chairs, a dish and plates. The plates were shining and were placed in the dish.

"Plates." Icey whispered "Otherwise, someone has washed the dishes."

CRACK!

Someone has dropped something. Iceland looked at the place where the sound came from and asked:

"WHO'S THERE?!"

Then a rat passed by. Ireland screamed from fear and lept into Iceland's arms. Due to the Irish lady's weight, the Icelandic one fell on the floor, and the puffin flew.

"W-what happened...?" Ireland asked as she shivered.

Iceland closed her eyes and responded:

"Uh, you got frightened by a regular rat! There are probably more rats."

Then Iceland got up and continued, Mr. Puffin went on her shoulder again. Ireland followed her. Ireland was hooded, with hands in the pockets and looked scared.

Iceland turned back at her. She raised an eyebrow.

Ireland took a deep breath and explained:

"If you are wondering why I look so idiotic, that's because I'm afraid. I don't want to be here all alone with you... Why we came here...? I'm afraid..."

Iceland took a deep breath and said:

"Come on, don't be afraid... that's just a house." then she hugged her Irish friend.

"Thank you." Ireland smiled.

Then the two continued. Mr. Puffin narrowed his eyes. He looked jealous of IceIre. The two nations knew each other from long ago, thus Ireland had a huge crush on Iceland's older brother, Norway.

Suddenly, steps behind were heard.

"Someone is coming!"

IreIce and the puffin hid in the first room they were.

"Close the door, Ireland!" Iceland shouted "Close that damn door!" Ireland closed the door quickly.

Iceland, Ireland and Mr. Puffin hid in the corner. Icey held the flashlight, while Ire just sat. Mr. Puffin was still on Iceland's shoulder.

"And now what we will do now...?" Ireland asked.

Ice narrowed her violet eyes and asked:

"Now?"

No answer.

"And now?"

Still no answer.

"Will you come in, will not you come in?"

Iceland went to the door, as Mr. Puffin inquired:

"Well, what did we come here? It is not enough that we are in an unsettled house, and a freak haunts us all the way!"

Then Iceland opened the door and called:

"Come on, come on! Kill me! Where are you, a freak? Where are you?!"

Ireland followed her younger friend and said:

"He is gone.. We can finally continue."

But Iceland didn't answer. She went to a window.

"A window." Icey opened it. "We can go out through this window and escape that freak who chases us."

Iceland tried to go out, but failed, since it was too 'small'. She demanded:

"And why can not I go out? Obviously, I'm fat."

"Or more likely thicc." Mr. Puffin giggled.

Iceland gave up and continued the walk around the building with Ireland.

They walked nearby the stairs, beside the railing. Icey looked from the railing and saw a shady guy who walked around. It was maybe the person who chased them.

"I saw you, freak! I saw you!" she shouted.

Ireland stared at Iceland. She looked frightened.

"I-icey... There is s-someone behind y-you..." Eire said.

Iceland turned back and saw the shady guy who haunted them!

The shady guy attacked the two female nations. He hit Ireland on the head with a large object and she lost balance and fell on the ground. He covered Iceland's mouth with his hand and took her away.

The things didn't seem very well...

It was 3 October.

It was morning. That day would be Latvia's burial. All European nations attended it, except Iceland who was missing.

Lithuania and Estonia were crying over Latvia's coffin which was white, covered with the Latvia flag.

Germany and Belgium were presenters of the ceremony.

France, Spain, Prussia and Romano also attended it.

Russia and Belarus stood silent, there was regret in Russia's eyes.

Ukraine whined because she acted like a mother towards Latvia and there was a strong bond between them.

And Italy... he was an Outsider. He was thinking about all happy memories when Europe was safe and peaceful place.

"That what happened on 31 September is shocking." Germany explained in front of the other nations "I'm shocked by the fact that a nation which was an young man died just because his capital was bombed. My..."

But Germany wasn't able to complete his words, because Estonia added:

"At age thirteen... a young man? Hey, Deutschland! That's a child, you morons!"

Eesti tried to go to the EU founders (Germany and Belgium) but Lithuania stopped him.

Meanwhile, North Italy stood and watched the stuff happening right now. Instead of respecting Latvia who died, Germany and the survived Baltics got into a little scandal.

"Things are turning from bad to worse... This spreads like fire..." N. Italy was thinking.
