Chapter 1

I sighed. The meeting was same as always. France was getting his butt kicked by England. America was being annoying. Germany was trying to get control over the meeting. The only difference was that I was standing at the window, looking out like Ireland had always done when she was sad, angry, or trying to think about something. But she normally did so in her room, or in quiet, dusty corridors. Not in a meeting room full of noisy, immature Nations. A familiar ache sprang into my chest when I thought about her. It always did when I thought about her or Liselle. I really did miss those two. Soon Japan walked up to me and broke through my reverie.

"What is wrong, China? You seem to be sad." He asked quietly. I jumped a little.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." I replied.

"I have never seen you act rike this." He said, but I wasn't paying attention to him anymore. I was paying attention to the music that was playing in my heart. First it was unfamiliar notes, but then words I'd only heard once before began repeating themselves in my chest.

The lyrics to DNA were calling me.

I closed my eyes like Liselle had told me to, and they quickly flew open again.

Liselle had been writhing on the floor, screaming in a high pitch. Then she'd called out two names.

"CHINA! IRELAND!" She'd screamed. I threw open the window and tried to jump out, but Japan had caught my wrist.

"China! What are you DOING?!" He asked me, in an oddly loud voice. I, however, was determined to get to my friends as fast as I could. I thrashed around, trying to loosen his grip. My eyes were almost creating real sparks.

"Let go." I demanded in a scary low voice.

"No! You wirr die!"

"No, I WON"T, actually."

"At reast terr me what's going on!" He demanded.

"I CAN'T!" I yelled at him as I kicked his wrist. He accidentally let go, and I used my momentum to flip and point myself so that my feet would hit first.

"CHINA!" Japan yelled. My feet hit and I immediately started running, not paying attention to where I was, just one thought: Get to Liselle.
