I roused slowly. I was actually comfortably warm for once. I felt better than I had in a long while. Refreshed. Alive. However I soon recalled the past events. I jolted awake and practically fell out of the bed I had woken in, in my haste. I felt slightly stiff, but I quickly pushed that aside. Upon searching the house I came across nothing. No blood. No body. No evidence of a struggle. There was nothing. He was gone. It was like he had never existed. He was just gone. He was my world and now…

I stopped in the livingroom. The culprits… The killers of my child looked up at me. Silence. None of them seemed to want to break the silence. So I did.

"You… You killed him… You fucking bastards. You Killed Him." I drew forward unsteadily.

I really wanted to hurt them. I really wanted them to pay. To suffer.

"It had to be done. Any longer and you wouldn't have made it."

I threw a punch at Greece who blocked it.

"You killed my child! He was all I had! He was my everything and you just took him away!"

None of my strikes got through, but I kept at it and he didn't make a move to stop me. Just letting it happen while the other two watched. Gazes full of pity and sympathy.

"I promised him I'd keep him safe! He was my reason to keep living! He was a chance for this country to evolve and prosper! He was just a child and you killed him! He didn't even know why it happened! And you still killed him!"

"Turkey, we only wanted help you. You may not-"

"Help me? Help me? What right did you have to decide what was best for me? What right did you have to take away the one who put meaning back into my life?" I glared at Egypt who just offered a sad expression in return.

"He Was All I Had. He was the only one who saw Me as who I am now! The only one who trusted me! He Liked me dammit! He was the only one in this whole world that I couldn't possibly screw up the relationship with! He had no other view of me than the one he saw and it was going to stay that way! He was going to take my place and I had everything set up so he could live happily after my passing and you ruined it! He was going to have a real life. He never got to experience anything. He never got to see the world… He really liked me. He was the only one… The only one… who smiled when he looked at me…"

I stared at the floor. I felt hopeless. His future had been destroyed and I failed him. I felt like crying, but for some reason I couldn't.

"What am I supposed to do now? What's the point of going on when everything just keeps getting taken away from me?"

That was when Egypt stood, but Greece started speaking before he could.

"So that's it? You're just going to cast aside what we did to save you and give up? I honestly thought you were smart enough to see that despite everything we still care. But apparently you're just so dense that you couldn't even see what we went through to pull out of death's grip. You've been out for almost a week since the incident and we've been worried Sick. I was worried we lost you anyway many times. You have no idea how close to actually dying you were, do you? What do you think would happen if you would have gone too? What about Your people? What would have happened to them? How do you think We would feel if you just left? How do you think we Felt not only during this last week, but since you started weakening? It's not all about You."

I had nothing to say to that and I didn't dare look up. A sigh passed Egypt's lips as that darker spark in his eyes receded to give him that sad look again.

"Why are you so…"

Shaking his head he approached and embraced me.

"Don't you Ever do that to me, us, anyone, again."

I didn't dare give a definite answer and they didn't push me for one. Things were quiet for the longest time.

"Lets just you taken care of for now, ok? We'll fix this." Egypt spoke softly, but made no move to let go.
