The two days (Y/N) was locked away in the cell seemed like forever. By this time, (Y/N) was losing her will to live. Her collected money seized, and now she was restrained against her will. This whole mess would have been preventable, but somehow it seemed like it wasn't to begin with. What if was meant to happen? There was no way out now, she had to face what was going to become of her: To be humiliated, exploited, shunned, and harassed. At the same, the Nordics stood outside their home waiting for the other nations to arrive. She could only undergo so much. It was over. That morning when she awoke, she nearly forgot she was wrapped in 2 layers of unbearably strong duct tape. To make matters worse, she was starting feel a little sickly, maybe because she hadn't eaten in 2 days. A wave of relief fell over her as she heard footsteps come into the building and the cell of the door open.
"Okay, we're taking you out of here. But we're not done with you." Sweden sighed as he bent down to (Y/N)'s level. "Untie me please!" (Y/N)'s muffled sobs came. "Yes we'll untie you. Just hold still or it will hurt." Denmark warned as he got down next to her and searched for the ending of the duct tape on her face. "Sve, keep her head still." Denmark ordered. Sweden nodded and held (YN)'s head as Denmark began to pull of the tape that blackened her vision and nearly cut off her circulation. (Y/N) whimpered as little as the the sticky texture was ripped from her skin. Finally she could breathe, talk, and see again, but she didn't dare speak as Sweden, Denmark, and Norway for to work on her body. She lay still as the two layers tape that immobilized her entire body was stripped off and tossed aside. (Y/N) sighed in relief as she was able to move again.
"Alright, get up." Norway said sharply. (Y/N) tried, but something didn't feel right. She felt even more weakened than before. Norway watched as (Y/N) struggled to stand. Coming to his senses, the Norwegian took both of (Y/N)'s hands pulling her up on her feet. (Y/N) breathed in deeply but it felt incredibly labored.
Finland's face fell with concern when he saw (Y/N)'s image. Her skin was covered bruises, her face extremely paled, and she was thinner than she was before. Iceland could wince at the sight.
"Are you Okay?" Finland asked gently.
(Y/N) nodded, but the fact is, she wasn't.
Finland got close to Sweden, and whispered, "She looks awful! Are you sure we should be doing this?" Finland panicked. Sweden just shook his head, "We have to do it. For the good of everyone and her."
"Let's go. They're waiting." Denmark said patting (Y/N) on the shoulder.
The Nordics headed out of the cell house with (Y/N) dragging herself close behind. Her clothes barely fit her anymore since she had lost some pounds in the last couple days, not that she hadn't been that thin before.
All the countries that were gathered outside the Nordics' home stood in confusion about what was to take place, including the close friends of the Nordics.
"You want to to tell us what's going on?" Estonia questioned Finland when he and the other four Nordics met with the other countries.
"Well it's something like this. We found this drifter on our property, appeared to be stalking us. We caught her with a container of krona and restrained her instantly. We freed her this morning so you could see what we have accomplished. (Y/N) get over here!" Denmark commanded. (Y/N), hearing her name, weakly walked up to the middle of the circle of nations and finally dropped to her her knees.
"Oh god." Hungary said mortified.
"What the (bleep)?" America said in disbelief.
"What in the bloody h*ll?" Britain said in absolute shock.
"Aiya!" China cried
"Seriously?" Prussia shook his head.
"Vhat's happened to her?" Germany asked in disgust.
"Ve! Is she okay?!" Italy squeaked.
The crowd of nations erupted into indescribable chatter as (Y/N) looked around nervously literally shaking.
"Everyone quiet down!" Sweden called out.
Everyone quickly shut up, all eyes on the outcast that kneeled before them.
"He-hello." (Y/N) said in a shaky voice gathering enough strength to wave to everyone.
"We're just trying to warn all of you to stay aware of people like her! They could just be trouble! Explain yourself (Y/N)!" Denmark said menacingly.
Tears began to form in (Y/N)'s eyes as everyone just stood waiting for an answer. "I-I."she began, but was cut off by a familiar voice. It was Mr. Puffin
"She did nothing wrong!" the seabird shouted as Hanatamago followed close behind. A small smile urged itself onto (Y/N)'s face as the two small creatures came close to her and stood protectively in front of her.
"Mr. Puffin , you stay out of this!" Iceland snapped. Finland bent down to pick up his dog and move her out of the way, but she snapped and growled at him. Finland was quite surprised considering Hana never behaved like that.
"Not so fast tough guy!" Mr. Puffin replied hotly as Hana came to his side, and the two pets glared up at their owners. Finland and Iceland stared off into space pretending not to care. Mr. Puffin turned to (Y/N), "Tell them! Tell them what really happened!" Mr. Puffin said encouragingly.
(Y/N) stood up and took a deep breath. "You all need to know the truth. They misunderstood me, the fact is, I'm not what you think I am. I'm a drifter. I'm homeless. I hold no job, I'm practically starving to death. These five you see behind me, they suspected I stole money, that I was a thief, I was only trying to collect to find some way to support myself! My family could barely afford to feed themselves. So they let me go. I was in silence when I a sound that would haunt my life forever. I came back to see what it was and met with a gruesome sight. Each one of my family members, shot to death by some monster. I didn't know I would live with myself now. For the past years, I have wandered aimlessly, eating from the trash, sleeping under viaducts, sleeping out in this bitterly cold weather! Now you know the truth!" (Y/N) said as loudly as she could, before breaking down into hopeless tears.
The other male nations just looked on not knowing what to do, but the female nations including Hungary and Liechtenstein gave the Nordics a cold look. "What have you done Emil?" Liechtenstein said mortified. Hungary and Ukraine nudged Liechtenstein to come with the, as the the three walked up to the sobbing (Y/N) getting down beside her.
"Come here." Hungary said soothingly as (Y/N) climbed into her arms, as Hungary cradled the small woman against her chest, stroking her hair. Ukraine gently placed a hand on (Y/N)'s shoulder. "It's okay." Ukraine said gently. "Everything will be okay, you'll see." Liechtenstein said her usual soft sweet voice, as Switzerland looked out at her smiling softly.
Hungary and Ukraine helped the small woman up to her feet, as (Y/N) thanked them. Hungary then stalked up to Denmark with a look of seething anger on her face and punched Denmark hard in the face, giving him a bloody nose. Denmark placed his hands up to his face to stop the bleeding.
"What have you got to say for yourself Matthias? What you have done here is a disgusting injustice!" Hungary said with a glare that would have have given anyone the chills. Denmark didn't answer as Hungary smirked knowing she gave the Dane what for. "And take her to the hospital or something. She looks terrible!" Ukraine pointed out.
The Nordics turned to (Y/N) who looked very sickly indeed. (Y/N) coughed feebly her face pale, and her eyes bloodshot. Finally she collapsed, her breathing heavy. "(Y/N)!" the Nordics cried running towards (Y/N) and kneeling down I felt front of her. The woman just breathed heavily as her vision blurred. The other nations ran up to her trying to figure out how to help. Finland lightly shook the woman in hope she'd stir, but she didn't. "(Y/N) please don't be dead!" Denmark said tearfully."Move aside!" Britain said forcing his way through the crowd with Romania in tow.
Romania and Britain got down on either side of (Y/N) looking her over. Romania placed two fingers on (Y/N)'s neck checking her pulse. "She's alive, just unconscious." the vampiric nation said looking up at the anxious Nordics. "I don't bloody know what gave you chaps the idea to do this, but I can tell you she's not going to last out here much longer if you don't bring her inside. Look at her! She's already sick! And this unfortunately something our magic can't help." Britain pointed Nordics looked at one another and nodded. "She should be fine, da? You and Romania assured them, "Take good care of her Lukas."
Sweden and Finland grabbed onto (Y/N)'s arms helping her up. "Common, let's get you inside, the tall man said gently. "What happened?" (Y/N) asked. "You just collapsed. And you seem to be running a fever." Finland said calmly.
"You all are free to go." Denmark called out to the large crowd of nations. The nations just shrugged and headed off from the Nordics' house.
The Nordics with (Y/N) beside them, headed into the house.
