Alright. My reason for updating so soon...erm, I slightly forgot that Matthew was there as well... I felt so bad when I realized it that I had to write this as fast as I could lolz. It was a total accident.

I'm sorry Mattie! D:

Arthur looked over at Francis before sighing. He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Francis.

"Before the guards took it away, I copied down what was written while Ludwig distracted them," he said, watching as Francis unfolded the note.

Feliciano, curious, walked over and leaned in to read alongside the Frenchmen, even though everyone was pretty sure he wouldn't understand the extent of all this.

"Hey, dudes," Alfred spoke up, looking around the room, "Where's Mattie?"

Suddenly, everyone looked up, including Lovino. Eyes roamed around the living room, looking for said Canadian who was no where in sight.

"You don't think.." Arthur looked up at Alfred, worry etched in his eyes.

Said American growled, "I swear to God, if he's touched him..."

The group looked around the house. In every room, corner, closet, hell even the attic was searched. But no Matthew. Francis sighed as he plopped down onto the coffee table. They'd looked everywhere and they couldn't find him. Clearly Arthur was panicked. And it was an understatement if someone said Alfred was worried. And once again, Francis had to blame himself. He was right here and if Slender had indeed gotten to Matthew, it was his fault. He stared down at the note in his hands, contemplating on reading it before something else bad had happened.

"Matthew, get away from him!"

Everyone jumped at Arthur's voice and darted for the back door. Arthur ran quickly down the porch steps, running towards the blonde that was lazily walking across the yard towards the forest. If took a while, but everyone eventually found him. The man in question. That sinister smirk playing on his lips. The laugh that would make anyone's blood run cold.

Lovino stared at him wide-eyed. So this was the tormentor? He pulled Feliciano closer to him as they hid behind everyone else. Francis practically leaped off the steps, Alfred following closely behind, as they ran after Arthur and Matthew. Arthur pulled on the boy's sleeve, trying to force him to a stop.

"Matthew, snap out of it!" He yelled, attempting to pull the boy back again, "Bloody hell, leave him alone!"

"This is your own fault, lad. If you would have just died quietly, his life would be spared."

Arthur glared at the man, but quickly looked back up at Matthew. His eyes were dazed as he made his way towards the tall man who had reduced Arthur tears many nights. The man that now struck fear in Arthur's very soul. Francis made it first, grabbing the boy by his shoulder. He pulled him back roughly and stood in front of him. Thankfully it stopped Matthew in his tracks.

Alfred slid to a stop, almost running into Arthur as he went to check on Matthew. Said Brit turned to look at Slender, only to see the man had disappeared. His hold on Matthew died and the boy crumbled into Francis' arms, out cold. Lovino and Feliciano opened the door as Francis and Alfred helped carry the boy inside, Arthur following quickly after.

Gilbert looked over at Ludwig, whose eyes were staring out into the forest just beyond his home, before speaking, "West? You alright?"

Said blonde stared over at his brother, looking him over before letting out a long sigh, "I've been better..."

He turned on his heel and walked back inside, leaving the door open for his brother. Gilbert let his eyes scan the trees before being satisfied enough to go back in and shutting and locking the door behind him.

'Arthur and Ludwig.

I've only been here for five minutes, and my pawns are already set into play.

It's great to be home.'

So that's what happened to Mattie! Yeah, I know this doesn't sound scary enough, but I had to have some way of explaining where the hell Matthew disappeared too instead of him randomly popping up because I'm an ass-hat and forgot he had tagged along D:...I feel so bad! Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed nonetheless! I'm going to take a small nap now! Reviews make me happy!

Love, ShuChan
