[Well this whole chapter is about Romano's POV from the prologue up to the part he shows up in chapter 1. Hetalia belongs to Himaruya Hidekaz.]

Romano sees Italy running away with you.

"Finally, now to deal with them."

Romano then faces the men. He gets in a fighting stance ready to punch the next to come near him. The man grabbed him and he tries to fight back. They were strong. For once he wished for spain to just pop up and save him. He would'nt care if he was annoying he just wanted him there. At the end he was covered in wounds, blood dripping from every corner of his body. It hurt so much.

He colapsed from the loss of blood and the men carry him out. He manages to open his eyes . He looked at the direction you and Italy were heading. He saw the tears you both had. 'Run, just keep running.'he thought to himself too weak to speak. His eyes closed and his body grew limp. All he saw was darkness. The men brought him all the way to their base.

"Is he alive?" he heard a man's voice say

"Yes he's breathing." another said

"(sigh) good." another man said

All their voices sounded familiar. He slowly opened his eyes. The light of the room was blinding. He looked around to see he was lying on the floor of a place looking like a prison.

"Ah my little tomato your alright!" he heard an extremely familiar and annoying voice. It was Spain. Spain then tackled and hugged his little Roma as if he came back from the dead.

"Oach! Get off you bastard!" Romano yelled at him. Not because he was annoyed but because his wounds still hurt. "Just get off already!" Romano shouted again. Spain lets go.

"Its just, I thought you..." The room grew silent. Romano took another look around.
Other countries were there. There was France,Russia,Belarus,Prussia and many more.

"How many of us did they get...?" Romano asked looking at everyone. there were so many countries there he couldn't belive it.

"Hard to tell.." Spain replied.

"Where is your brother and sister?" France said being more serious than usual.

"They got away, thankfully..." Romano said remembering your sad faces when you had to leave him.

"Hey what's wrong Roma?" Spain asked. He noticed Romano's face looking sad when they started talking about the two of you.

"N-nothing you bastard! Mind your own buissnes!" Romano said acting like his old self again. (with tears in the corners of his eyes. well this part is sorta optional. I dont know if I should add it or not)

"Aww, is my little tomato going to cry~" Spain said teasing him. Romano's faces got more and more red. "You look just like a tomato."

"shut up, shut up, shut up SHUT UP!" Romano said exploding with anger.

"Now thats my Roma." Spain said smiling at him.

Romano looked down mumbling a million bad words that cant be heard that much.

The metal door to the room opened. A man with a cloak was behind the strong looking men. Everyone had fear in their eyes.

'Why were they afraid? What's going to happen?' Romano kept asking himself. The men came to him. They sprayed some sort of sleeping gas into his face. Romano's eyes slowly closed and he fell onto the floor.

"Roma-" he heard Spain calling to him.

By the time he woke up he was being tested. needles were all over his body. They took blood samples and everything. One of the most painful tests was the last one. They put him on a bed and strapped his arms and legs so couldn't move. They put even more needles and turned on a machine. It gave an electrical shock. It was their way of extracting memories. They needed to know if there were more countries out there in hiding.

Romano did his best to not think of Italy and you when they did this. It was so painful, in fact, that after this one experiment he passed out from all the pain.
And they did this to Romano for five years now.

(This is when he appears in chapter 1)
One day they let Romano out. They needed supplies and treated him as a slave. But whenever he goes out someone follows him. This was why he cant go back home. He knew if he did it would only help them get their prize. His sister and his brother.

On this day he went to the same town as you. He didnt know you would be there.

He was in the market place.

"Fratello! Romano!" two voices called out. He knew who they were. It was Veneciano and _

You hugged him and said "Fratello it really is you!"

Romano was so happy to see you he wanted to hug you back. But he knew that there was someone watching him. He put on an act. He pretended to not know you. He walked away and went back to his 'prison'. They took him back to his room and closed the door behind him.

"Roma, your back...Roma?" Spain said noticing how he looked. "Roma, are you alright?"

Romano. leaned on the door behind him and slid down. Spain quickly came to Romano and checked if he was alright.
He held his hand on his forehead. He felt a bit warm. It seems like he got sick and he was tired from the trip.
He helped him up and layed him on the bed.

Spain has been looking after Romano for the whole day. Romano opens his eyes and sees Spain.

"How are you feeling Romano?" Spain asked noticing Romano waking up. Romano sat up staring blankly at his hands.

"Roma?" Spain said trying to get his attention. "Hey what happened out there? Roma. Dont just ignore me. Roma?!"

Romano looked at Spain. "Hm? S-sorry..."

"Well what happened? You've been out there many times but you never came back like this." Spain said being worried about him.

"I-its just that, I saw them today..." Romano said looking back down.

"O-oh! Thats great! How were they? Are they alright?" Spain stopped talking. Romano looked as sad as the day when he got dropped off to that place.

"Roma, whats wrong?" Spain asked

"They were... crying. They wanted me back but... I cant." Romano replied.

"I see you missed them, dont ya?"

Romano nodded his head slightly looking like he was about to fall asleep again. Spain made him lay his head back down on the bed. Romano slept soundly after. 'I wish we could all get out. I wish I could help you' Spain thought to himself putting another wet towel on his head.

End of chapter 2

[Ok if you want explanations for things in this part here they are... Romano being sick: He got sick since the country he represents is not doing so well.(This would make sense if you read the manga) lets see what else... Um if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask. I am sorry if this story isn't that nice... This IS my first time making a fanfiction. Review and I hope you liked it.]
