Author Notes- Hello, so Japan speaks in this chapter and I like to make sure that people know that though he still has his accent I just don't write it in. For example you may have noticed that when Germany speaks the text says "What" instead of "Vhat", it doesn't mean his accent is gone. It's just that I don't write it in.

Also, there's slight GerIta but they don't kiss or anything.

-Chapter 2-

Italy's body started to go limp after taking the pills. Germany looked at Romano still very worried "Did he overdose?" Romano shook his head in reply, "His antidepressants have the side effect of drowsiness. He's just falling asleep." Japan looked concerned "May I see what kind it is?" Romano bit his lip before hesitantly nodding his head to Greece signaling that giving him the bottle would be okay. Greece sighed handing Japan the bottle knowing what the reaction would be. Japan examined the bottle and exclaimed "What?! But this can't be right!" Germany didn't want to know but asked anyway. "What? What is it?" Japan looked at Italy worry written all over his face "This medicine is incredibly strong, besides the effect of drowsiness it also can make average tasks difficult. Doctors rarely prescribe this because the effects of making you happy are so strong that if you're taking that drug you could watch everyone you know and love die before your eyes and still be happy. It's effects also inclu-"

Japan's words were interrupted by Greece's strangely annoyed voice "Please, Japan. Just stop. We already know all of the effects. Trust me when I say that, I know. I'm not in the mood for this right now." Japan looked at his friend with some shock "Are you taking this medication as well?" Greece didn't say anything. Romano sighed "Greece, I'm going to need you to carry Italy to his bed in a second. But first I have to test England if he's experienced temptaint." England looked at Romano questioningly his hand still around his throat. Romano spoke as he gestured with his hand "Come here." England let go of his throat which had red marks from being strangled and walked over to Romano side "What do I have to do?" Romano sighed "Just look at Italy and tell me if you can see any birthmarks or scars on his body." England looked at Italy and then back at Romano "Of course I see scars! His chest is bloody covered with them!"

Romano groaned as ran his hands through his hair "Just great, he did go through a temptaint. Greece take Italy to bed, I'll take of the rest." Greece nodded and carefully picked him up. He left the room carrying Italy bridal style. England stuttered "S-so what this whole temptaint thing mean?" Romano sighed "You're going to have to stay here for a few days." England could stop his words "What do you bloody mean?!" Romano squeezed the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes "That formazione di anime as we call it, hurt you. Making you be able to see things that others can't. For example all those scars on Italy's on Italy's chest were from all sorts of dark beings so others can't see." England looked frustrated "I don't really mind that, I've always been able to see things others can't."

Romano opened his eyes making give a look at England that internally made him shiver "You just don't get it. You'll die if you try to leave our side right now! You were attacked and almost killed by a formazione di anime for simply being here!" Romano closed his eyes again and sighed, his train of thought was stopped at the sound of Spain's concerned voice.

"Romano...Are you taking pills as well?" Romano opened his eyes and stood up "No. I've thought about it... And have been tempted to. But I when I see what it does to Feliciano..." His voice died in his throat as he wiped away any remaining tears from his face using his sleeve. He walked to to the doorway said "You should all go back to sleep, there won't be anymore of them." he continued out the door leaving all of them in the room trying to wrap their head around what had happened. Though most of them went back to their places America didn't. He sat with his back to the wall all night. Germany didn't even try to sleep for the rest of night either, he insisted on being with Italy until Romano gave in and allowed it.

In the morning everyone looked sleep deprived, accept Romano and Greece. Who were able to sleep soundly. Many people had gotten their things and were eager to get out of there. Romano and Greece worked together to make a large meal for everyone, though most people who went to the table didn't eat.

Japan who sat at the table stared at Greece, who was back to normal. Just as calm and sleepy as ever, Japan spoke hesitantly "So how's Italy?" Greece's eyes glanced at Italy's bedroom as he spoke "He's fine. He'll need a few days before he can function normal but It's not really a big deal. The one I'd be worried about is Germany. After all, this is a lot take in." Japan nodded in response. America who was sitting at the table not having touched any of the food looked at Romano, his voice sounding more like he was telling instead of asking him "Can we speak in private?" Romano sighed "Yeah." he had a feeling in his gut that he wasn't going to like what the american had to say.

America and Romano left the dining room that had an awkward feeling to it and went onto the porch. Romano breathed in the fresh air, smiling slightly from the escape of the bad atmosphere "Ok, so what do you want?" he said bluntly. America had but both his hands curled into fists "I'd like to stay here with England." America blushed slightly "You said that he'd die if he left you guys last night. If he's in that bad of a situation I want to be there for him." Romano looked at America. Sympathy in his eyes "You realize what kind of position you're putting yourself in right? You won't be able to protect him. You won't be of any use. Can you deal with that?" America looked at Romano strength in his eyes "I will be there for England when he needs me. That will be my use." Romano looked surprised by his answer. He turned from America to the house "You may stay." he said before walking into the house with a face as red as a tomato.

When Romano peeked his head into the dining room he saw that it had been deserted and could hear a loud commotion. He rolled his eyes as he walked to Italy's bedroom knowing that he must've woken up. He could see the crowd of people that were looking at Italy trying to see if he was okay and back to himself. He had sat up and in his usual sing song voice was trying calm people down that were panicked over his condition.

"I'm fine! Vee!~" Italy said loudly in his sing song voice. Romano parted the crowd of people with ease in order to get to his brother, once he reached Italy's bed he turned around to look at the crowd of countries "He's fine. Now go get your things and get the hell out of my house." for a moment there was silence in the room and then people slowly started to leave the room. The room after two minutes was left with Italy, Romano, Greece and Germany who hadn't moved from his spot since the last night. Germany turned his head to Romano "I have a request, I'd like to s-" Romano interrupted Germany "You want to stay here, I already know. It was obvious to everyone that you would say that, potato brains." Germany paid no mind to Romano's insult and continued "May I?" Germany asked hoping that Romano would over look his feeling for him.

"For what reason? Vee?~" Italy's voice chirped in Germany looked at Italy, a little surprised "Because of your current condition of course! You're taking s-" Italy spoke over Germany's words "So? Nothing in this picture is new. I've been in this condition my whole life. This is normal. You don't have to worry about me Germany, at least not when it comes to this kind of stuff. You should go back home and let things go as they would normally. Vee~" Germany hugged Italy, surprising everyone in the room "Italy, I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this for so long you can call it normal." Italy opened eyes for a moment and then closed them again "Romano, Greece please let us speak in private."

Romano and Greece both nodded and left the room, leaving Germany alone still hugging Italy. Italy buried his face into Germany's shoulder "I want to protect you. I want you to feel safe from anything bad, I want too be strong for you. But I'm so scared that if I stop taking those antidepressants so I can be strong you won't like me anymore." Germany put one of his hands on Italy's head "You don't have to be strong for me. Just take care of yourself." Italy pushed himself out from Germany's hug "Go get Romano, he's not going to be happy to hear that you're staying so it's best that I tell him. Vee~"

Germany nodded smiling slightly as he stood up his legs making a loud popping noise from sitting all night. He walked through the doorway and started speaking "Hey Roman-" he stopped at the sight of Romano and England glaring at each other, neither of them had even noticed Germany. "Why can't I bloody talk to Italy about this whole temptaint thing?!" Romano curled his hand into fists "Because he just woke up, shit face! Give him a goddamn day at least! Everyone just found his biggest secret last night!"

America spoke calmly "Dudes everything is fine." England snapped his head at America showing him his once emerald colored eyes were tainted with a dark purple rim "Everything is not fine America!" he said, panic could be heard in his voice. The Germany and America both froze, shocked by the change in England's eyes. Italy's voice rang from his room "Bring England here. I may not be able to do much until tomorrow but if will ease his nerves then allow him in. Vee~"

England sighed with relief and walked into Italy's room, and sat in the chair Germany had been in. Italy turned his head to England opened his eyes making England shiver on the inside. "This is incredible. Vee~" Italy's voice filled with awe, England tried to avoid eye contact "You've never seen that happen to someone's eyes?" Italy smiled and shook his head "No, this happened to Romano and Greece. The difference is that they weren't able to see esseri santi before. Vee~" England tilted his head "esseri santi?" Italy nodded "Those magical friends of yours that others can't see. Those have many names but I call them esseri santi. Anyways right now you can see everything. You can see our world, you can anime perdute, you can see esseri santi and I bet you you can see demoni. Vee~" England sighed "That's nice and all but Romano said that I'd be killed if I went outside because of this." Italy nodded "And you would be. Vee~" the fact Italy said that in a sing song voice scared England so much.

Italy put his hand over England's eyes "Don't move or you might get get hurt. Vee~" England's heartbeat raced wondering what Italy was about to do to him, Italy had every reason to want revenge so why would he help him? Italy's voice didn't sound sing song like at all when he spoke this time "In nome di tutto ciò che è santo, ti comando di mascherare la verità con il passato." England could feel a strange sensation, it took all his willpower to resist the urge to pull away from Italy's hand. Italy slowly moved his hand away from England's face. England looked at Italy puzzled "What just hap-" Italy closed his eyes and leaned his head back "Go look in a mirror. Vee~" his voice had regained it's sing song quality making England feel relieved. England tried to keep himself from running but walked very fast hopeful to see his eyes the way they should be.

He reached the bathroom opened the door and took a deep breath before looking into the mirror. He smiled brightly seeing that his eyes shined just like they did before. He charged to the front door "Come on America, my eyes are fine now!" Romano grabbed his arm tightly before he could walk outside the house "It's not that easy dumbass." England ripped his arm from Romano's grasp "But my eyes are fine now." Romano glared at him "You can still see what others can't, and I'm not talking about esseri santi. And they don't like people who can see them." Romano once again grabbed England's arm. England tried to get him to let go but Romano's grip was a lot stronger than he expected, Romano had such a good hold on England that he was able to drag him back to Italy's room.

"Feli, is there anyway for his sight to go back to normal?" Italy sighed shaking his head "A temptaint can't be undone. Vee~" England turned his head to Romano "So there's nothing to be done. Now let me go you bloody git! I'm going home." Italy pinched the brim of his nose tightly "For your safety I insist you stay for one more day. Then I'll be able to escort you home, and keep you from getting hurt. Vee~" England glared at Italy "I can take care of myself." Italy squeezed the bridge of his nose tighter "No you can't, not this time." England's anger showed in his voice "Then can you escort me now?!" blood started to drip from where Italy had been squeezing on his nose as he yelled "I'm helping you not because I have to but because I choose to! Stop acting like brat!"

A long silence fell in the house as England was shocked with Italy, England didn't even notice that Romano had let go of him. America grabbed England's wrist and led him out of Italy's bedroom.

*Time skip*

England sat up in his bed as quietly as he could, it was just after midnight he was pretty sure that everyone was asleep. Germany had sat in the chair next to Italy for the rest of the day and odds were that he had fallen asleep in that chair. Greece had left after dinner and went home. Italy didn't leave his bed at all, though England didn't ask he guessed that this was because of the pills. America had fallen asleep very fast due to not sleeping the last night, as for Romano England had seen that he had put on pajamas so he assumed that at this late an hour must he be asleep.

England grabbed his things and was able to change very quietly, he smiled seeing that he had his things and looked presentable and hadn't woken up. Idiots should have known better than to trust a spy England thought to himself as he slipped out a window. England walked down the street with a really bad feeling his chest, he tried to ignore it.

"Assassino." England's eyes widened, as that didn't sound like anyone he knew. "Si meritano di morire." England's heart was racing, he had no idea what was going on but this didn't sound good. The voice didn't sound even human. "Proprio come me." England hesitantly turned around to see who was speaking to him, fighting his instincts to run away. When his eyes saw this, creature he stopped moving. He didn't even breath. Whatever this thing was, it didn't look nice. It wore a cloak that looked like it belonged to a monk but was covered in blood. It's fingers were so pointed they looked like daggers. It's head was covered by an apothecary mask that only allowed England to see the huge horns that looked like pure bone and eyes which were dark purple and had abnormally large black pupils.

England had never felt so scared in his life.
