Over the course of three things Francis was sure of a few things. One of which this was not Arthur. Well, it kind of was but he was acting completely different form the one he knew. Not that he minded. Francis like this Arthur a little more then he should admit.

When he would hug him or say romantic things to him the other would blush while smiling and giggled before cuddling up to him. Now the other was also jumpy at a lot of things. Everything that seemed to move without him being on guard made him jump.

"Mon cher, where are you?" Francis called outside the house.

"I'm in the garden, in the garden! Francis has such a pretty garden!" Arthur sang happily as he drank his tea. "Not scary, not scary, not scary at all."

"What a strange way you have chosen to speak. So, how are you feeling? Anything wearing off by now?"

"Francis asked about me! Weee! I'm so happy!" The other blushed and held his face.

Chuckling he sat next to him and the other shifting away worried. "What's wrong?"

"Francis isn't mad at Arthur?"

"Non, of course not…" Francis frowned. "Why would I be mad?"

"Because Francis gets mad at me a lot and hits me too…"

"I've never hit you- well, back when we were enemies yes, bit now I would never do that."

"Enemies? Who enemies?"

"Us, Mon cher… this is starting to worry me."

"I'm sorry- Noo! Their here, their here, their here!" Arthur suddenly yelped and ran off into the house.

"Watch your step, stupid."

"You're such an arse! Do you bloody talk like that to the other me? Gods, I would have beat you to death already!"

"Now that is funny. Arthur beating anyone! The little idiot can barely make it up his own stairs without falling."

As they continued to walk Arthur then noticed something strange. "Where are the humans?"

"Dead. The Hot War insured that."

"That what?"

"Russia and America had the World War of Blood. They both fought each over for over two hundred years, killing off all the humans. Let's see… I think that about eighty years ago. Only the embodiments remain. Since we are what is left the communists are trying to gather us up. So, far they have only captured one third."

Felling sick Arthur wondered how the war had lasted to long and all the humans died? Poor America must have been so upset. Which might explain why he was so angry earlier as well as Canada.

"Ah, here we are." Francis knocked on the door. "China? Are you in? I got something to show you."

The door opened and out stepped a short hair China with dark blue eyes. "What is it? Who is that? France what is that doing here!"

"This is a England form another world. It seems the two somehow switched places. But that's not what's wrong. I believe that America and Canada got hold of the book.

"What?"

"Oui, it is a shocker non? Well, then here I'll leave this with you and go and see if I can track where they went. Adieu Mon imbecile."

Bam! France gritted his teeth when a sudden blow knocked him onto the ground and green eyes look down on him with a snarl.

"Watch it France. I not that Arthur and I can very well kill you if I wanted to, you bloody wanking git!"

"Now that is interesting."

Stopping Arthur turned around at the deep masculine voice and shivered on the spot. China turned and leaned on the door frame tell the man that America and Canada had the book. Said man walked out of the door way with a frown on his face, eyes serious and brow furrowed.

"This is bad. Now, come with us, England. I hear you are from another world. If that is true then we need to kept you from Alfred and Matthew and find away to get our England back. This war won't come to an end yet. What is wrong? Are you feeling ill?"

"Ru-Russia…?"

"Da. Now come inside. You never know if their lurking about ready to fight." Ivan said and lead him inside with China waving goodbye to France before walking behind them.

"No… no this is wrong… in… in my world your insane and talk like a child."

Raising and eyebrow Russia laughed warmly. "And in our world you are always smiling and asking for tea, Arthur. Now you need to tell me about the book. Can you read it?"

"Yes. I'm really good at spells and potions… why? What do you need to know?"

China jumped to a window. "Francis is gone. He'll find them soon, I hope."

"What the bloody hell is going on?"

Ivan sat him in a chair and then sat across form him. "We're trying to stop them. You see along time ago humans thought they could program their countries. America and Canada had been the first and last to be tested on and now…. Well, as you can see there are no more humans."

Frowning Arthur looked up his mind aching. "I don't understand."

You can rest upstairs in one of the rooms. Tomorrow I'll fill you in on everything. But listen to me closely… stay far away from America and Canada. Understand?"

"Uh… Why?"

Ivan turned away and walked upstairs without looking back. China handed him a pill and sat on the chair what one arm thrown over the back.

"You'll see."

"Their coming, their coming, their coming!" Arthur screamed as he ran into the house.

Right behind him Francis grabbed him. "What's wrong?"

The blue and pick eyed Arthur pointed to the window and started to tap is franticly. "There, there, there, there, there!"

Looking out the window he frowned and then looked down at the trembling form of Arthur in his arms. Holding him tight as he cried painfully he looked out the window again.

"They came for me, they came for me, no, no, no, I won't go with them! I won't go with them! They hurt me, they hurt me, they hurt me! They said they'll be nice, they'll be nice and then, and then, and then crack! They hit you, they hit you! No, no, no, can't go with them, can't go with them, they want to bring it back and rule the world! Bad things, bad things-"

"Shh, mon cher… it's is alright. It is only Alfred and Matthew coming to visit."

"No, no, no, not alright, their bad, their bad. They want Arthur because his eyes know the way, know the way! AHHH! NO! NO! FRAINCE MAKE THEM LEAVE ARTHUR ALONE!"

The two northern brothers had walked in that started the frantic screaming. Both of the younger nations ran to help but it only made Arthur scream in pain more. Getting a needle they gave him a sedative to calm him down.
