Allen and Matthew stood outside the library door, and they could hear defeaning cries of pain from the other side.
"Is that Arthur?" Matthew asked, panicked.
"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that's Oliver making him do it." Allen tried the handle, but it wouldn't budge.
"We have to do something! He's killing him in there!" Matthew thrust his shoulder against the door, but it did absolutely nothing.
"He won't kill him, not unless he gets what he wants. And I don't think Arthur's going to give in that eas-" He looked at Matthew. What had he been thinking, allowing him to follow? With Matthew now there and everything, Oliver didn't need Arthur. And Allen wasn't sure Matthew had the guts to stand up under torture like that. Well, that and he couldn't imagine having to listen to Oliver torturing him. Allen started to get jumpy. He looked up and down the halls, frantically. "Where the hell is Matthieu? He can bust down doors no problem."
"Maybe we can find Francois? You said he let you leave-"
"It wouldn't do any good. He only let me go cause he's too lazy to try and stop me. And who knows where his loyalty really lies, anyway." He scanned the hallway again. "Where the hell is he?"
"We need to get someone- anyone- listen to him!" Matthew was on the brink of tears as the cries echoed all around him.
"I- I know. I've heard him do it to people before."
Matthew was wide-eyed. "Before?"
"Yeah. And me."
"Oh." Matthew put a hand over his mouth. The only difference was, according to Allen, they could heal. But if Oliver was doing anything to Arthur, it would be permanent.
Sighing, Matthew put his hand onto Allen's shoulder. "Let's go find your brother okay? You said he wasn't going to kill Arthur so... we have time, at least."
Allen looked him in the eyes. "Yeah, okay. Follow me."
Well well well. I think they are going to be in for a surprise, don't you?
And good lord. Trying to remember the difference between 'Matthew' and 'Matthieu' and when to use each spelling is ridiculous. I can't imagine what it's like for them, they don't even get a spelling.
Okay so today I officially have seen every episode of Hetalia available, subbed and dubbed, including extra episodes. IT FEELS SO WRONG. It's funny how something can only be in your life for a few months, and you can't imagine not being obsessed with it.
Love to all my readers and followers and reviewers! Including those all over the world, who get updates at weird times of the day. It's an odd feeling, knowing that someone in Belarus or Australia is reading what I write. But also a good feeling. ;)
