Note: My updating skills are getting worse! I have been really stuck on ideas but I think I have something I'm going to run with. I'm trying to stick with my every second day update...which I have already failed :( I'm going to really try from now on!
Prussia's pov
I sprawled myself on the sofa with West by my side. First thing in the morning is when I usually get to spend time with my brother alone. The rest of the day he is always with Italy. This morning however was very tense after the whole Grace situation. I could tell West was just waiting for her to appear. I don't know what he will say when Grace shows her face. We had got everything sorted out, but I know that when West is angry he will not hold his tongue. I turned to look at my brother and was confused when I saw his face. He was looking up at the ceiling as if he was listening for something.
"West?" I questioned
"Can you here something?" He asked, not looking away from the ceiling.
"What? You think Grace and Italy are getting it on?" I joked
West moved his head to look at me, he met my eyes with a glare. Suddenly we heard a loud crash.
"What was that?" I said, jumping up from the sofa.
Before I got an answer there was a deafening scream coming from upstairs. I knew exactly who it was, it was Grace. I bolted from the living room and began to head upstairs, I could hear West quickly follow. The screams became louder and this time I could make out Italy's screams too. I began to run even faster and soon I reached my bedroom door. I rushed inside and stood dead in my tracks. To my surprise I saw Grace with a hand full of letters which I had kept in a drawer in one hand. Also with the other was hitting Italy. Italy on the other hand, was trying to grab the letters and was pulling on Grace's hair.
"ITALY!" West yelled from behind me. pushing me to the side to get to the fighting Italy and Grace.
He began to try and separate them, he grabbed Italy by the waist and pulled at him.
"PRUSSIA! HELP!" He yelled
I was frozen with shock. Too many questions were going around my head. I must put them to the side for now, I must help West. I ran to Grace and started pulling at her.
"ITALY LET GO OF HER NOW!" Germany commanded
"GRACE STOP!" I begged
Finally Italy began to loosen his grip on Grace. He looked shocked, like he didn't know what he had just done. He finally let go of her and Grace and I went flying backwards. Grace was breathing heavily and was shaking.
"Grace, what happened?" I asked, trying to sound calm.
"I-I-I'm sorry..." She stuttered, beginning to cry.
I pulled her into a hug and she began to cry on my shoulder. I looked up to see West doing the same with Italy.
"Italy don't cry! What is going on?" West asked the sobbing Italy.
"She w-was searching Pru-Gilberts things. I tried to st-stop her. I was right sh-she wants to get revenge." Italy cried
"How dare you, you little-" Grace began to say, pulling away from me to get to Italy.
"You're not going anywhere!" I declared, tightening my grip on her.
"Why were you fighting? That is so not like you!" Germany asked Italy
"I wanted to do something brave...last time everyone fought for me..." Italy explained
"Well don't do that ever again, you could have been hurt. What I want to know is what she was searching for?" West announced looking at Grace.
"I wanted answers. Clara told me so many things..."Grace trailed off
My blood turned cold, she was just using me all along. I had actually thought a beautiful girl like that liked me, what was I thinking? I let go of Grace and turned to face away from her.
"I think you should go..." I said coldly
"Prussia! I can explain!" Grace exclaimed
"I already know what was going on Grace! You were just using me to get information." I spat
"At the start I was! Then I began to know you and I really fell for you. You are really unlike any guy I have ever met. At first the information is what I wanted, but that has changed now. I just wanted to find out about all the crazy things that Clara said to me in her letters" Grace explained
"Letters?" Germany repeated
"I know I said she didn't talk to me but we sometimes exchanged letters. She said you guys were countries...like what me and her used to be." Grace announced
"I was right!" I rejoiced
"What? I thought she was just making it up. She told me that both her and I used to be parts of a country. I remember nothing of It though. I just thought it was her being...well...Clara." Grace said baffled
"You must have believed some of it, you came all the way here to get answers." I pointed out
"Yes, the way she talked about it ,made me want to believe. She told me how powerful we were and how nothing could stop us." Grace described
Grace saying this made me even more suspicious. If she really believes she was a country then she must be after some of our power. This is all too confusing, I wish things had just stayed the way they were.
"You still used me. Now you know about us, how can I be sure that you are just after the power again?" I asked
Grace walked back up to me and gently stroked my arm. Electric shots ran through my veins as her soft palms caressed my shaking arm. She sweetly smiled up at me and looked deep into my eyes.
"I really like you Prussia, please let me prove myself to you. Lets go out tonight and we can have fun, just you and me." She smiled
"He can't go out tonight, we are going to Romano's for an engagement party!" Italy butted in.
"Well I can just go there! I really need to get dressed so if you guys will excuse me, I need to use the bathroom." Grace chirped, walking out the room.
After she had left all eyes fell on me. Italy looked disappointed and West looked furious.
"What have we told you? Don't trust her! Please Prussia, end this now!" West barked
I had no idea which side to be on. I can tell that Grace is harmless but on the other hand I trust my brother. I really like Grace and don't want to hurt her, I know what I must do.
"Let me end it tonight, I want to let her down gently. Also I have some more questions about her that needs to be found out." I solemnly announced
