Chapter 39:

Monika's POV

I feel like I'm drowning in hopelessness. Every little dream I have keeps telling me more and more, but what do they mean? This dream is new though; in all the other ones I was just a shadow cloaked in fire, but this dream is something more. I was clearly in a field that had grasses that grew nearly to my waist, and the sky was completely purple. I noticed I wasn't in my military suit; instead, I was in a black gown with flowers in my hair. I looked around and saw Feliciana standing a few yards away. I tried to shout to her but my voice was gone; then she looked at me. Oh God, why is she crying?

"Monika, don't leave me." She mouthed, but why?

I tried to run to her but something had my legs. I looked down and saw two Kaydom arms protruding from the ground, their grip around my ankles. I tried to kick free but it was no use, they had me down and wouldn't let go. Why can't I cry for help? What's wrong with me?!

"Monika? It's ok, I'm here for you." I look back up from my struggle and see Italy looking down at me, and he's crying too.

Stop crying, please. I can't bear it!

"Monika, you won't be forgotten. I promise." What? Why would Germany say such a thing?

"Monika this isn't fair! Don't leave me!" Sakura! No, I won't leave you!

I now see everyone from Alice to Sakura, and even the guys are here too. Why aren't they helping me?!

Then it hit me…I can't be helped. There's nothing left to help.

"AAAHHHHH!" I woke up in a sweat screaming with horror from the dream.

I began scrambling around because I felt like I couldn't breathe. Then two nurses came in and held me down and told me I was ok. Where am I anyways? Why don't I…where is everyone?

"Wer bist du und warum bin ich hören?! Wo sind meine Freunde?!" The nurses looked at me like I was insane; then I realized that they couldn't speak German in the slightest.

"Ma'am you're going to be alright. We promise." One of the nurses took my hand and smiled gently. "You've been out for a few weeks but it's alright now."

Mein Gott…A few weeks? Impossible.

"Monika!" I looked over and saw a smiling face that I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Sakura, is everything alright?" Before she gave me an answer she ran up to me and gave me a tight hug that felt somewhat weak and tipsy.

"Monika it's terrible." She whimpered as she let go.

"What's terrible?" I asked nervously.

She looked at me with teary eyes "Well you see…"

Before she could finish Anya and Chun came in with their bandages tightly wrapped around portions of their body. Both their faces lit up like lights when they saw me, and just like Sakura, they ran up to me and hugged me intensely. I looked at the two and smiled; it was so good to see them.

"Monika, it's so good to see you moving again." Anya gave a soft smile and cocked her head slightly to the side.

"Hai! Monika do you know how much you made me worry aru?!" Chun huffed out while giving an adorable pout.

"I'm so happy to see you all well! Where are the others?" I asked in hopes to see Feliciana.

They all exchanged looks and then turned to me with desperate looking eyes. "Well America, Russia, and China are all here as well, but America is still healing from his burn wounds."

Burn wounds? What happened? "What about the others?"

Sakura sat down in the chair beside my bed and let out a heavy sigh. "Well…this is what happened. We found a portal on an island but we were ambushed and separated. England and Alice fell through the portal so Feliciana, Amelia, Japan, France, Germany, and Italy all went after them. We've heard nothing from them, but it's only been a few days since the incident so we're still hopeful."

I couldn't believe it. How could they just go back to such a hellish place with such ease? Weren't they hurt? Why is this happening to us? "I need to find them." I got up and out of the bed but fell to the floor in a thud, my face hitting directly onto the hard floor.

"Net! You must stay in bed until you fully recover!" Anya glared at me as she picked me up and put me back in my bed. "We can't lose our leader again."

"But…"

"No buts, you must recover." We all looked to the door and saw China and Russia standing together with concerned faces.

"Da, but I am happy to see you awake. You almost looked dead with how still you were ^J^."

"Aiya Russia, don't just say that stuff!"

"Oh come on China." He poked China's cheek. "You were thinking it too."

"Ya but not out loud!"

I looked at them all; their wounds so obvious. It's my entire fault that we've ended up like this, and now some of them are stuck in that god forbidden dimension, unless of course they reached Seychelles but that probability was 1/1000000000.

I need to do something…but what?

On Seychelles

Alice had finally gotten sick of being in bed so she began to do housework as her own form of physical therapy. At first it was like getting around a minefield, but after a while her blindness wasn't as much of a pain. She could sweep and do laundry. After a day or so of this she finally got the hang of her blindness so the group began to devise a plan.

"We can either take a water route around Africa or go through Africa, but if we were to do that we'd need to find special clearance from the other countries." Feliciana moaned as she looked intensely at the map.

"Ja, but what about here?" Germany pointed out the Gulf of Aden.

"NO." Feliciana, Françoise, Alice, and Amelia sternly remarked.

Amelia shook her head. "Seriously guys, you wouldn't even want to take that route in your dimension." She laughed. "Anyways even the hero wouldn't be able to take the screwed up waters there!"

Alice sighed. "Don't you ever stop talking?"

"No why?"

"Oy we need to figure this out." England muttered as he glared at the map.

"Ah l'Angleterre, must you be so serious all the time?" Françoise flung a strand of hair behind her ear and sat down on the red velvet couch as she drank her wine. "I say going around would not be a bad idea. It may take longer bu…"

"But there's also Oceanic Daemons that spurt out boiling water and rip boats apart from the bottom up. Also, don't forget all the pirates that sail around here." Feliciana interrupted.

"Mon Dieu, this is impossible." France sighed as he took a seat next to Françoise and moaned. "If we were to go through Africa what would we be up against exactly?"

"Sand storms, land daemons that are equipped with four layers of skin and sharp talons that are coated with toxins poisonous enough to kill half a state, and the walk…unless of course we can actually get ahold of one of the other countries." Feliciana sounded agitated.

"So we're stuck either way…" England groaned.

At the time Seychelles came in and looked at the stumped group. "Hey I've got a question. Why do the girls have to use their human names in their own world? It looks a little shady to me if I do say so myself."

The group exchanged looks then back at their host. "Ah you are correct Mon cher ami. Very well, if you would like then you may call me Francis Bonnefoy." He stood up and gave a little bow.

"Franc…is-san. I have not heard that name in quite a while. It is most strange to hear it again." Japan thought for a moment. "It's been so long I do not even remember my own name."

England looked at Japan with a little blush. "W-well last time you needed to use a human name is was Kiku Honda or something…not that I remembered on purpose or anything!"

"Hai, arigatou England." Kiku gave a little smile.

"So we've got a Kiku and a Francis. What about Germany, England, and Italy over there?" Amelia pointed over at the couch where Italy was sleeping soundly.

"Erm…well…" England looked down and back up with embarrassment.

"Hon hon hon England, don't tell me you've forgotten that name of yours…Arthur."

"No freaking way! Arthur?! Are you serious?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA" Amelia started rolling on the floor in laughter but Françoise stepped on her face before Amelia could continue.

"Pay no attention to Amelia. The name is beautiful Arthur."

"It's not like I chose it myself or anything! The Queen herself chose it out for me and it just stuck…." He blushed a little more.

The group looked over at Germany who was still studying the map with intensity. "Ludwig Beilschmidt at your service, though I don't see why any of this is necessary."

"Hmmm? It's just a form of equality monsieur." Françoise gave a little wink his way but he completely ignored it.

"Well then that leaves Italy over here. Man, he's out cold." Seychelles poked him on the cheek and it almost looked like it had deflated.

Germany looked up from the map and cleared his throat. "If I remember correctly his human name is Feliciano Vargas. Seriously though, none of this is necessary." He went back to his map.

"See, that wasn't so bad right?! I don't know about you guys but I feel a lot better now." Seychelles gave a smirk and walked to the door. "Oh and one more thing, though I don't know if it'll help any. There's a helicopter out back that's just been refurbished if you're interested."

Feliciana walked up to Seychelles and glared at him. "Idiot, why didn't you tell us earlier?!"

He gave another smile. "Ha well you see, it's been so long since I've seen anybody else so I kind of forgot about it. It's not like I kept it a secret or anything." He slipped out the door after saying "tell me when you guys are ready to leave okay? I'll get things ready for ya!" He then shut the door a little harder than anticipated.

"I don't know about you guys, but I got a little twinge of creepiness when he came in." Amelia looked at the shut door.

"Hey what's that smell?" Alice smelled something in the air that wasn't quite right…almost nauseating.

"I don't smell anything. You must be having a sixth sense moment or something." Françoise joked, but then her demeanor changed.

"Wait, I do smell something." After she had spoken Ludwig fell to the floor unconscious and following him was Kiku.

"Oh God…he's gassing the room!" She stood in horror at the realization.

Amelia began to kick the door but her movements became slower and slower. "Come on, we need..to..get …doors..downnnnn." she passed out on the floor leaving everyone else horrified.

"Bloody hell, I don't want it to end like this!" Arthur nearly began to cry when Françoise walked to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"It's going to be ok…we just need…to find a way…ou…" she couldn't even finish before she was knocked out with Arthur holding her up with whatever strength he had. It was only moments after that he collapsed as well.

Feliciana fell to her knees and coughed slightly, trying to keep her sleeve over her nose to keep the smell from reaching her, but it was no use. She fell to her stomach, that last thing she saw being Seychelles' twisted smile and he whispered "who would want to leave my paradise? It's quite lonely you know."

-So I'm not sure if my writing is starting to lack or something, but if you guys see something weird don't hesitate to tell me okay? Love ya guys :)
