The American soldier that had been assigned as Belarus's guard sat in America's kitchen. She was sitting with a doctor she had called in a few days previous because she had been getting worried about some of the things that had happened since she had been given job.

"I've been here for two days," the doctor told her. "There's been nothing like what you described to me. In fact, I haven't seen anything strange happening at all. Are you sure that you weren't just dreaming what you saw? You said you guard her, right? When was the last time you actually saw her sleep walking?" He pulled out a notepad and a pencil.

"It's been happening ever since America left to train. She would get out of bed, write something on a piece of paper, read it to herself, put it in an envelope, and then get back in bed. The whole time she is doing this she is still asleep."

He wrote down a few notes on the notepad. "It's strange to act awake while sleeping. Most people don't really do anything while they are sleep walking. Does she say anything?"

"She says a lot of things. I don't think I should repeat them." The guard stared down into her coffee, kind of embarrassed that she couldn't provide better information.

"You really should tell me," the doctor insisted.

"I will not repeat it. I was the only person to witness it. It would be like spreading a lie. It would be bad if I went to court for slander." The guard looked up in time to see the hallway light snap on. She pulled the doctor to the floor just as Belarus entered the kitchen. "There she is!" she told him in a harsh whisper. "Walking around and fast asleep! Stay hidden!"

"Her eyes are open," the doctor commented.

"But she's asleep! She can't see what's going on around her!"

"Why is she washing her hands," he asked as Belarus shoved her hands under the faucet.

"I don't know! She does it almost every time she gets up."

Belarus dried her hands and sighed, pulling open the curtains of the window over the sink. "Big brother..." she muttered.

"She's talking!" The doctor reached into his pocket and pulled out a tap recorder. "I'll listen to it again later. It may help me figure out what's troubling her."

"Big brother, this moron is such a coward. He is supposed to be a brave soldier, but gets frightened at the mere mention of a ghost. It's nonsense! Why should he be scared when no one can call us guilty?"

"Does she mean what I think she means?" the doctor asked. The guard nodded silently, nodding back to Belarus.

"And Austria, too! He's becoming out of control, brother. He's going to ruin everything if he continues this way."

"That explains why she's sleep walking. She's becoming agitated and restless."

"She's saying things she shouldn't be saying aloud," the guard hissed at him. "If anyone heard this..."

"The plan was perfect, big brother. I just wanted to help you move up in the world."

"It's weighing heavy on her mind. This is way beyond my medical skills. The only way for her to get better is for her to fix it herself," he explained.

"Stop it!" Belarus hissed. "Didn't I tell you that ghosts don't exist? England can not come to you for revenge!" Belarus stopped suddenly and listened intently. "Someone's knocking! We have to get in bed! Hurry!" Belarus ran from the kitchen and back down the hallway.

The doctor and guard stood up slowly. Looking around the corner, the doctor saw the door to Belarus's bedroom close. "Is she going to bed now?" he asked.

The guard nodded. "It's the same as always."

"She needs a priest more than she needs a doctor. Look after her closely and remove anything that she may be able to use to hurt others with. I'll should leave now or else I may say something that will get me into trouble. Good night."

"Good night."

A/N

I don't think anyone reads this story so I don't think the Author's Note has a real point. It's like I'm talking to myself. The only reason I write this story is for my friend Carmie who can't read it right now because she gave up the internet for lent. Hopefully this story will be done by time she gets back though. I can't say I really see that happening, but I can hope, can't I?

Anyway. If you DO happen to read this story. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you'll leave a review.

Have a good day and DFTBA
