Building A Nation
AN1: Thanks to all you who have reviewed! It really does help that you review. OK, so I am quite insane and last night I watched The Ring before going to bed! (Luckily no nightmares XD) and then I watched it today and got inspired to write a fan fiction using Hetalia about The Ring go to my profile page and there is more information. Send in your answer by reviewing or sending a message.
AN2: Now that we got THAT out of the way, I would like to say this. Sorry again for the cliffhanger! XD I just love them so much!
AN3: I don't own anything. Oh yeah, a little girl told me to tell you all a message: "….7 days…."

Escape
Ivan's POV:
I held Yao close to my chest as the rumbling continued. I held him bridal style carefully but protectively as I ran out of his room and down the hallway. I hurried towards the guest room as I notice the house around me starting to rock and shake violently. I rushed into the guest bedroom and ran straight twoards the window jumping acroos the falling rubble and pieces of Yao's house.
Finally I made it to the window and climbed out as fast as possible. I hopped down the debris with greater ease then when I was climbing. Behind me I could hear Yao's collapse in on itself. As I made it onto the street next to Alfred and Toris holding Yao in my arms, I turned around just in time to see the remains of his house fall in and collapse completely.
I stood there panting heavily and feeling like I was going to pass out at any moment. I looked down at Yao who looked so peaceful now as he slept in my arms.
"Ivan," Alfred said getting my attention. "the hospitals anywhere around here are going to be packed to the brim with patients. Yao wouldn't be able to be seen ahead of all the others. It would be wiser to take him back to Moscow." He explained.
"You're right Alfred. We should leave right now da?" I asked and Toris and Alfred nodded as we piled into the car and drove off as fast as possible.
-o-
Alfred sped as fast as possible from beijing over back to Moscow. This time since the stakes were higher we drove faster then we did before and somehow made it in 34 hours with minimal stops. Toris sometimes took over for Alfred and drove while I stayed in the backseat, still in pain, with Yao spread out and his head resting in my lap. I brushed his beautiful locks of hair from his face and started to use an cloth I found in the car to gently clean off his face. No one talked for many hours. Heavy was the mood of the car where no one knew how to speak and if they could no words could supress all the emotions running through their bodies.
Finally it was Alfred that tried to break the silence. "Hey I'm starving. Anyone want something to eat or anything?" he asked.
Silence was their only reply.
Hours later he tried again. "Hey um…I can help out you know? I'll send some of my National Guards over to Beijing and I'll totally help with the destruction and stuff. Because…that's what a hero does! He helps even when it's…his fault…" he said, a bit hesitant in the last sentence.
I nodded and went back to holding Yao close to me.
It wasn't until we were entering Moscow did Alfred finally say something that wasn't about food or heroism or anything along those lines. However the words he said will stick with me forever.
"Hey Ivan? I'm sorry my boss did this to Yao. I know…how much you love him and…it's heartbreaking to see him like this. If there's is anything, anything at all that I can do to help…you let me know. I'll be there before you know it. Because…that's what friends do." He said.
I looked up at him, my violet eyes gleaming in much appreciation and my mouth curled up into a small but heart filled genuine smile. "I know. Just make sure Yao is saved. Please?" I asked and he nodded as we drove towards the hospital.
We finally get into the hospital, me holding the unconscious Yao, and walk in. It was a little busy but when a nurse took a passing glance at us who walked in she as instantly alert and called for other doctors to come immediately.
"Что случилось? Он в порядке?"(1) the nurse asked.
I explained the situation and secods later many doctors came and took Yao from my arms and into the emergency room leaving Alfred, Toris and I to just stand there waiting for my precious Yao to be saved.

Translation: What happened? Is he alright?
AN1: Yeah sorry it's short. It wasn't my intention to keep it that short but hey you gotta do what you gotta do right?
