(Matthews pov)

-Dream-

I opened my tired eyes to see a wooden roof with a few cobwebs collected in the corners above me, the air around me was cold that I could see my breath. I slowly sat up and looked around the nearly empty, yet familiar, room before my breath hitched. I was in my old cabin that was located near the great lake that was close to the border to America.

I haven't been here since the… accident…. I got a bad feeling in my gut that I should run. So I slowly got up off of the couch and walked towards the front door before a loud sound of glass shattering came from the dining room. My blood went cold and I slowly looked over my shoulder to see the monster that haunts me ever since I was young and before I became a colony.

I then ran out of the cabin and into the raging blizzard with the need to escape from the beast. The cold wind nipped at my skin as my boots crunched in the snow as I ran, the monster behind me roared in rage and chased after me. I tried calling out for help but my voice didn't work, fear washed over me as I dodged rocks and fallen logs.

I came to a clearing and I froze, everyone that I knew was dead. Their bodies were torn and half eaten. I saw Alfred holding Arthur and Francis dead bodies in his limp arms, Gilbert was next to Ludwig, Kiku and Feliciano bloody and ripped apart. Antonio and Lovino had been hanging in the trees with claw marks marking them from head to toe, Vlad and Lukas were hard to recognize.

'No… No nonononono! PLEASE NO!' I thought.

Suddenly I was thrown across the clearing and I hit a tree then landed next to my family. I looked up with tear filled eyes as I watch the monster that I grew to fear so much, I whimpered as the monster came closer. I grabbed Alfred's hand and closed my eyes as the monster got closer to me.

'Alfred… Guys… I'm sorry… I'm sorry that this had happened to you all!' I thought as a fiery pain filled my body and a silent scream left my lips.

"ThErE Is NoWhErE tO rUn, BOY!" Tad's voice echoed before I fainted.

-end of dream-

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I shot up in bed screaming.

"MATTIE!" The familiar voice of my brother reached my ears.

I felt familiar strong arms pull me into a hug as I clung to my twin silently sobbing, a hand carded its way through my hair in an attempt to calm me down. I nuzzled Alfred's chest, I could hear footsteps rush into the unfamiliar room and more arms wrapped around me.

"I'm…. s-sorry…" I sobbed.

"Shh, Mattie. Your okay, your safe." Alfred soothed.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" I repeated, I was too shaken up to think straight but I think Alfred knew what I was talking about when I touched his left shoulder.

"Mattie it wasn't your fault now please calm down your fine." Alfred said.

I sniffed while nodding as I was released from the group hug. I rubbed my eyes before looking at the nations and the new faces. My face went bright red when I realised that everyone was looking at me.

'Maple! Why is everyone looking at me! I'm not use to this!' I thought.

"Hello again Maple leaf!" I heard a familiar voice.

"Cipher…" A man with six fingers growled.

I saw the familiar floating Dorito and smiled lightly, I ignored the happy squeals from a young teenage girl.

"Hello again Bill, I didn't expect to run into you so soon!" I chirped, my throat slightly sore.

I was still blushing but I felt a little bit more calm. A teen with short brown hair with a blue and white baseball hat that had a blue pinetree in the centier, milk chocolate eyes that had the look of shock in them. He was wearing a blue hoodie with a red V-neck shirt, blue skinny jeans with red and white runners.

"Wait… how aren't you freaked out by him!" The teen asked.

"Seen and met worse." I said calmly.

"Matthieu what do you mean by that?" Francis asked, while pulling me on to his lap.

I blinked before glaring when his hands started to wander. So I did the one thing that would make Lovino, Alfred, and Arthur proud of and punched him in the face and got up. I ignored the pain right now and glared at the Frenchman.

"Touch me like that again and I will bring out my hunting gear and hunt you down comme une bête sur mes terres!(like a beast on my lands)" I growled before sitting next to my brother.

Francis looked highly offended and glared at me.

"Tu ne m'aurais jamais parlé comme ça quand tu étais petit!(You would have never spoken to me like that when you were little!)" Francis snapped, so I ignored him.

"Uh… sorry about that, eh." I said softly feeling a little embarrassed about my outburst.

"It's fine.. By the way I'm Dipper." The teen said.

"I'm Mabel! Dipper and I are the Mystery twins!" Mabel said.

I saw that she had brown eyes and long brown hair that was in a braid that was brushed over her left shoulder with a pink headband and star earrings. A pink sweater with yellow stars on it, blue shorts that went mid thigh, knee length white socks with black shoes. I saw the resemblance between the two teens, they both looked to be around 18-19… maybe 17?

"I'm Stanley." An old man said.

Stanley looked to be around his mid 40's. He wore a black business suit with a red fez hat, he had glasses and an black eyepatch covering one of his eyes but I had a feeling that it was just for show. Grey hair and brown eyes that held kindness and mystery in them.

"I'm Stanford, but please call me Ford. It is very nice to meet your acquaintance." Ford said shaking my hand, I noted that he had six fingers.

He looked like Stanley with slightly less grey hair, but had brown eyes that held wisdom and knowledge. He wore a light cream trench coat with a satchel hanging across his chest to rest on his left side underneath the coat. He also had a red turtleneck shirt with dark blue pants with boots.

"It is nice to meet you as well, all of you!" I said, smiling lightly before frowning. "How did you guys find me? " I asked.

The nations were silent, looking guilty before Bill spoke up.

"Well they, your friends, got the Pines to help you and went into the forest to look for you! I followed and told them that they are going the wrong way, with me being an all seeing and all knowing Dream Demon. They when you screamed I teleported them to you and then brought all of us back here." Bill explained.

I nodded before looking down and remembered that Tad tried to burn and kill me. I felt a hand on my shoulder to see Mabel looking at me with a gentle smile with Gilbert standing behind her with a smile as well.

"Oh… wait… Al… when did you all remember me? Since you all forgot me last night!" I snapped glaring at my twin.

"Uh… well… uh.. Funny story… uh…" Alfred stuttered.

"Matt I'm sorry that we forgot you, and I blame your brother for that, but the lady at the desk told us and if I wasn't dragged to my room last night you would have shared with us." Lovino said.

Alfred looked down and was about to say something before I just nodded, I looked around for my things before groaning.

"My stuff.. It's still in the forest!" I groaned.

Bill snapped his fingers and my things were set next to me, I smiled and picked up my guitar case and gently brushed the dirt off of the case.

"Thank you Bill." I said, smiling at the Dream Demon.

Bill tipped his hat and I felt fear hit me but nothing happened so I silently released a breath that I held. Arthur walked up to me and knelt down in front of me and gently placed a hand on my forehead.

"You are still running a fever, and I need to check your ribs to see if the swelling had gone down." Arthur said, I nodded.

So Arthur, not thinking about me being self conscious about my body, lifted up my shirt and I saw bandages tightly wrapped around my whole torso. I was silently watching as the bandages came off and I paled at the bruises and how dark they were. The Brit started to poke my ribs making me flinch whenever he hit a sore rib.

"Matthew do you know who did this to you?" Ford asked.

I looked up before looking down at the ground, tears filled my eyes.

"A dream Demon named 'Tad Strange'." I said.

"DANG IT THAT STUPID FLOPPY DISK IS GOING TO GET IT!" Bill shouted.

We all blink at Bill, who turned red and trembling with anger, before Dipper looked at me for a moment and asked a question.

"What did you do to get the 'Tad Strange' to hurt you?" Bill looked at me, along with everyone else.

"I said 'No' to making a deal with him and he freaked out on me!" I said, Arthur finished looking at my ribs and started to bandage them.

"Oh." Dipper and Mabel said together.

I hope that you all like this chapter! Also Bill's nickname for Matthew is 'Maple leaf' Just in case you all were wondering!
