Sealand and Canada stood frozen at the monstrosity before them. Sealand gagged a bit and turned away, putting his hand to his mouth. Canada sputtered and stared, wide-eyed. "It...It...It...I...a-a...I..." Sealand looked at Canada and gently tapped him, whispering. "Can we leave now? I don't think it knows we're here and I feel really...nauseous. I wanna go..." Canada snapped out of his trance and looked to Sealand. "Y-Yea. Let's get out of here. Quietly, I don't want it to see us. Don't look at it, okay? Don't look." Canada grabbed Sealand's hand and they slowly left the room. However, forgetting there was vomit by the door, Canada stepped right in it and made a nasty Splishing sound.
Both of the Nations froze. Canada told Sealand to continue going and he would make sure nothing came after them. Sealand scrambled up the steps and out the door. Canada turned around and watched to make sure nothing was following them. Sealand decided to wait for Canada and watched him. So far it was fine, until...
The monsters head turned towards Canada and began to cry. It wailed, screeched and flailed about. Canada turned around and grabbed Sealand's hand. He pulled him away from the door and slammed the door shut. As he ran down the hall with Sealand, he could hear the screeching and growling of the other creatures. Sealand looked back then to Canada. "What the hell was that?! W-Wha..." Canada clutched onto Sealand and managed to sputter out, "That was a fetus! A freakin fetus! It was huge! And-and...Just keep running. We're gonna have to bash the gate down. We gotta get the hell out of here, NOW!"
The two of them ran as fast as they could until they reached the gate. They could still hear the growling and screeching but it was a lot farther away now. Canada began slamming against the gate in attempt to knock it down. Sealand watched, scared they wouldn't make it. Canada, whilst hurting his shoulder and arm, managed to bash the gate open.
Italy was crouched a little ways away from the door. "You guys are back! Thank god, I heard the screeching and shouting. What's going on?" "I'll tell you, later, right now we need to run!" Canada yelled to Italy and grabbed his hand. Italy stopped Canada by grabbing the arm that was holding his hand. "W-Wait, I can stand on my feet and walk for the most part but I don't think I can run yet." Canada immediately grabbed Italy buy the waist and lifted him up bridal style. Canada looked to Sealand and motioned him to follow.
Luckily for them, there was a door that wasn't locked. They went through it, remembered to shut it, and went down a long passageway. The screeching was really faint now. "U-Uh, Canada..." Italy held onto Canada tightly, but felt slightly uncomfortable. Canada paid no mind, and continued to run with Italy in his arms. His first priority was to get his friends out of there. No matter what.
"C-Canada, I don't think they're following us now, you can let me down now, please." Canada stopped suddenly and smiled. "Sorry. I just kinda acted without thinking. Are you hurt?" Italy smiled and shook his head. "Nope! I'm okay. Thanks." Sealand crossed his arms and frowned at them. "Can we get going? You can make googly eyes later." Canada and Italy both blushed and sputtered. "We're not making googly eyes!" Canada let Italy down carefully and shoved his hands into his sweaters front pocket and Italy fixed his clothes. Sealand rose an eyebrow and shook his head.
The three of them continued walking. Canada still had his flashlight and so did Sealand but Italy's was left behind when they bashed through the gate. It was still pretty dark, musty and they haven't seen another door. Italy walked on the right side and Canada walked on the right side. Sealand walked between them. The three of them walked silently and looked around everywhere to make sure they didn't miss anything.
"So, how do we get out of here? There's a way to get out right? Cuz it's really gross here..." Canada smiled at Sealand and nodded. "We'll get out. We have to..." Italy turned to Canada and tilted his head a bit. "So, what happened back there? Wanna talk about it?" Canada glanced at Sealand then to Italy. "Uhm, maybe later. I think we oughta get out of here first." Italy caught on and nodded, and they continued on their way.
They walked for a little while longer but it took them thirty minutes to finally find a door. The door led to another room with some paintings and boxes filled with old china, creepy dolls, goopy piles and cobwebs. Sealand clung to Italy because he was pretty freaked out by now and didn't even bother to hide it. Canada looked around briefly before going back to the other two at the door at the end of the room. "I don't see anything of importance here. Let's go."
They left the room and it led them to a small room with a ladder. Canada said he'd go up first, and then they go up. "I'll be right back." Canada climbed up and opened the trapdoor above. It was unlocked and surprisingly easy to open. Canada went up and climbed out. He disappeared from view for a minute before he reappeared. "You guys, come on up." Canada motioned them to come up and Italy sent Sealand up first. After Sealand went up, Italy followed.
When Italy reached the top, and gasped. He was not expecting to come out of a dark tunnel and find himself in...what looked like another basement. "Where are we? Did we actually get out?" Sealand shrugged. "I hope so." Canada walked around a mostly empty bookshelf and shook his head. "We're out...but I'm sort of confused. I was looking around and found this. It's a letter from someone to England. It says, 'I don't think that tunnel will work. It's incredibly dark and very confusing to go through. We'd have to find a better way. For now, we'll seal it off. I'll contact you again, when I can find a better way."
Canada looked to Italy and Sealand and shrugged. "Not sure what it means but this place is most likely England's old place?" He said it sort of as a question, as he wasn't entirely sure. "Maybe. Let's just get back to the car. I'm tired, I'm sure Sealand's tired..." Canada nodded. "Yea, come on. We'll find a way out of here. I just wanted to see if there was something that would tell us something more, y'know?" Italy nodded and crossed his arms. "Yea, I know. But I think we should all get some good sleep. We need it." Sealand sighed. "Can we goooo?" Italy frowned a bit but soon smiled again. "Yea, yea, we're going."
They took one last brief look around the room before leaving. There was a door at the end of the room, that led to a dusty staircase, with double doors at the top of them. Canada glanced back at Sealand and Italy. He hopped up the steps and tried the doors but they were barricaded by a bent metal pipe. Canada pulled the pipe as hard as he could to get it unstuck. Italy came up behind to try and help him. They pulled as hard as they could and eventually they got it loose. Sealand walked up and yawned, stretching slightly. Canada pushed the door open and held it open for the other two nations.
The place they were in now looked like an abandoned house. It was very old, there were cobwebs everywhere, and it was mostly empty. The drapes on the windows were torn and worn. There was an old shelf on the far wall that held a few old, broken apothecary bottles. Canada sighed and sat by the wall nearest to the door. Sealand sat next to him, and Italy next to Sealand.
They sat in silence for a few moments, and in those few moments, Sealand had dozed off. Canada chuckled and shook his head. "How can he sleep after all this?" Italy smiled and shrugged. "He's a kid...Don't tell him I said that." They both laughed and then sat in silence once again.
"So, what exactly did you guys find back there?" Italy looked at Canada, tilting his head slightly. Canada sighed and brought his knees up to his chin. "It...It was disgusting. We got down there and I stepped in like barf or something. I remember the book me and Sealand found, it said they barf up their food." Italy nodded. "Yea, I heard most of what was said." "Yea, well, at first we didn't see anything but when we went further into the room, Sealand was the first to notice it. It was this huge...F-Fetus looking thing. It was like out of those weird Japanese horror films. It was insane. Sealand was super pale and looked a little on the green side. I wanted to get him out of there as fast as I could. So, I told him to go and I would follow close behind. I forgot about the vomit and I stepped in it again. I guess I made a louder sound because then the Fetus turns and it looked at me. It looked at me! At us! And then it started screeching and wailing and then we hear all these other aliens out of nowhere start to screech and yell. I turned and ran as fast as I could. I took Sealand's hand and we just...fwoosh. Right out of there. Then we ran into you and, well you know the rest." Italy nodded.
"You didn't hurt your arm, did you? I saw you bashing on the door. Well, mostly heard, you were kinda hard to see at first." Canada shrugged. "I didn't really pay attention to the pain in my shoulder. My mind was just screaming, 'Make sure they get out alive. Make sure they get out'. And that's what I focused on. To be truthful, my shoulder and part of my arm is in a lot of pain and it kinda hurts to move it certain ways..." Italy scooted closer and took Canada's arm. He pulled the sleeve up and took a look at his arm. "It's not too bad, I can patch it up when we get back to the car. Hopefully no aliens broke into there..."
Canada smiled. "I appreciate all that you've done, Italy. Tell me, whatcha gonna do after all this is over?" Italy blinked in confusion. "Why're you asking that all of a sudden?" He looked away and blushed slightly. "You'd better not be asking me out." Canada laughed a hearty laugh and shook his head. "No, I was just wondering. We don't hang out much so I was hoping we could hang out more." Italy then smiled and crossed his arms. "Oh that's right, you've got a thing for Prussia~"
Canada went bright red. "W-Where did you hear that? And I don't but that's beside the point. What about you and Germany? I see you makin googly eyes at him during the meetings. I know what your starin at too..." Italy then blushed a bright shade of red and playfully pushed Canada. "No! I am not, don't you dare. And I asked you first, what's going on with you and Prussia? I know you like him at least yet you haven't asked him out or anything." Canada shook his head violently. "No way! Like, are you freakin kidding? He'll probably laugh in my face..." Canada mumbled the last part into his knees, and it took a second for Italy to understand what he said. "No he won't. I'm pretty sure he likes you too. He talks about you. Not like...a lot cuz he doesn't really have anyone to talk to about it. Or at least not at Germany's house. Normally, I'm bothering Germany about something and Japan is busy doing more of those...Doujin..shi's I think they're called." "Yep, I read them. Or some of them at least...Do you think he talks about me to Papa France and Spain? I know he talks with them all the time." Italy laughed. "Of course!~ He's probably planning a way to propose to you!~" Canada blushed and gently hit Italy's shoulder. "Nu-uh...I mean...That would be kind of cute." Italy laughed again and smiled brightly.
"Look, just ask him out. I'm sure he'll say yes and then you two will have the best night of your lives!" Canada rose an eyebrow and looked to Italy. "Why night?" Italy smirked. "Why not?~" Canada chuckled. "Fine but you have to ask Germany out!" Italy frowned and shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure Germany is into girls. I mean, I could get a sex change but that would be weird and I don't think Germany would like it very much." Canada smiled at him. "You really care bout him, huh? You would get a sex change just for him." Italy turned beet red and he then brought his knees to his chin. "Whatever! I said I wasn't really gonna do it." "Just ask him out. He's Germany! He's really nice. So he won't laugh in your face or call you any names or look at you differently for it..." Italy looked to Canada, who was staring at the ground. "I thought you and Prussia were best friends." "We are but people change very quickly...I don't want to ask him out for that one reason. I don't wanna risk our friendship over some dumb feeling." Italy smiled. "Prussia isn't like that. He's Germany's brother! He's equally generous and caring, even if he doesn't always show it. Don't worry!~" Canada smiled. "How about this, we'll both promise to ask them out once we get out of here. Pinky promise." Italy put his pinky up and Canada rose his. "Fine. Pinky promise..." They did the pinky promise and grinned.
"Now, get some sleep, I'll be lookout." Italy frowned. "No, I don't wanna make you stay up by yourself." Canada flashed him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'm probably gonna have nightmares for days, so I won't be missing much." Italy chuckled. "Well, when we get back, you and Prussia can cuddle and he can kiss those nightmares away~" Canada laughed and playfully shoved Italy. "Whatever, sleep, you butthead." Italy did as was told and laid down. Canada waited til he was asleep to move. He carefully stood up and carried the shelf to the door. It was just tall enough. He pushed it under the doorknob so hopefully nothing would get inside. "There we go." He sat down and glanced at the two sleeping nations.
And then they all woke up and had an or...eo...
