Serena woke up to see a figure looking down at her, as she felt a familiar vibe. "Is something wrong England?" Serena asked as the nation got off her bed. "I heard you talking in your sleep." He answered while Serena sat up, "I was a bit worried when I saw you crying as well." England added to his answer and left Serena alone.

'If only you knew what is coming ahead England.' Serena thought to herself, 'I'm so sorry for doing this to you.'

~a few months later~

Looking out the window, England saw as more of his people were preparing for any battles that would take place in his land. He already won a few feuds with France and his army, leaving blood staining the ground. England had also gained more land that was also once France's in the process.

"Is this really what you want England? For people to die over a simple role?" Serena questioned as her originator gave an annoyed look. "I have to do this. It's necessary for what I want; to be more powerful and recognized." He answered back, "Besides, you're-" he continued when Serena spoke.

"Are you saying I don't understand because I'm not a nation? Are saying that just because I'm your mirror image, doesn't mean I have a clue over what's going on right now?!" England paused, seeing the emotions in Serena's eyes. "If that's what you think, I guess you don't need me!" She yelled as she ran away.

'What have I done?' England asked himself, 'Will this war break Serena?'

~a few hours later~

Serena found herself in the same forest as that time hundreds of years ago, "You cared about me before we were separated. Now all you want is power; I guess I never will understand how nations are." Serena said to herself as tears streamed down her face. "Why have you changed so much?" She questioned as footsteps came closer to her.

"What's wrong lass?" The voice asked as he came closer to Serena. "I-I don't know Scotland." She answered, 'I haven't seen him since he took England away.' Serena thought to herself as she felt hands wiping away her tears, "This war with the Frog has gotten to 'im, hasn't it?" He asked as Serena nodded.

"I think that's what she meant by 'A time of rage and anger'." Serena whispered. "What do ya mean lass?" The Scotsman questioned her as Serena sighed, "The witch told me that a time of anger and rage will come through this country, and she showed me that.." She paused as more tears came down. "Showed ya what?" He asked once more as Serena continued.

"That he would die. Unless I somehow got him to escape." She whimpered. "I see. I'm kinda seeing that right now in my own land lass. I'm wondering if it's because of this war with him and France." Scotland replied as he patted Serena's shoulder.

The two looked up as more footsteps could be heard from crackling leaves and panting to go along with it. "What do ya want lad?" Scotland asked as England stood still, "I came to apologize." He answered while giving an apologized look to Serena, "Just leave us alone." England added as Scotland growled and walked away.

"I-I'm sorry that I yelled at you Serena." England whispered, followed by a sigh. "It's just that this war with the Frog and myself has gotten worse. I really am sorry Serena; I didn't mean what I said." Serena stared at her originator. 'I guess there's parts of him that hasn't changed.' She thought to herself as England pulled her into a hug.

"I forgive you." Serena whispered as she hugged England tighter. "But please, don't do something like that again." She added as England nodded, "I'll try." He responded.

~a few more months pass~

"It's gotten worse." Serena sighed as she saw several men on the ground, not breathing. The war was starting to take it's toll on both England and France's own people. "Why must they fight. I know they don't get along, but this bloodshed is not a solution." She added quietly.

Serena started to get a strange vibe as she sat, letting the breeze flow through her hair. "The time of rage and anger is near mirror image; you must prepare if you want him to live." Lucia's voice carried out as Serena's eyes widen, "That soon?" She asked as the witch's figure appeared.

"Yes. Haven't you noticed that England has been at hard times himself?" Lucia answered as she sat next to Serena. "Do you have a plan? To get him away from this?" She asked as Serena made a 'no' motion. "I haven't even thought of it yet. I guess this war is taking a toll on me as well." Serena answered.

"Well, you must find a way quickly, there is no time to lose!" Lucia responded as she faded away. 'Right. My price for England to live is to give up my own. To save a life; you must give something of equal value in return. And I choose it to be my own life; since I'm not immortal.' Serena said to herself.

~a few weeks later~

England started to noticed how angered his own people; mainly families, have been lately. "What's with all this emotion everyone has been showing?" He asked himself as he named the emotions, "Anger, rage, grief. It's driving them mad!" England turned around as he heard Serena coming toward him.

"Serena!" He shouted, "Why is everyone in my country feeling the way they are now?" He asked while Serena stared off into the distance. "They are mad at the king and you. This war has driven the emotions that have been going around." She answered. England noticed that her eyes were glowing as she looked down.

"Did you know about this?" He asked while patting her shoulder. "Yes." Serena whispered as tears fell, "And I'm scared! This war is taking the price for it; human lives." She added.

England sighed, "We must find a way to stop this then. I don't want everyone to fall over this." Serena stared at England. "I've heard some of them talk recently. They want someone to pay for what has happened; and it involves you." Serena responded as England have a shocked look.

"That can't happen. I'm a nation; I can't die!" He spoke as Serena's tears down faster. "Haven't you noticed that you're growing weaker?" She asked as her originator nodded, "The witch took me it might be a sign of death." Serena added as she felt the fear inside England. "No." He whispered, "That can't be happening! This can't be true!"

"I'm sorry, but it is." Serena replied as she slowly walked away, "But don't worry. I'll find a way to at least halt it." Serena added as she ran away.

England turned around to hear yelling, "There he is!" One of them shouted as England ran to follow Serena. "Get back here!" They shouted, "You have to pay what you've done to us!" It reminded England of when he was younger; before Serena, he was constantly chased by his older brothers. 'All of this is repeating itself.' England noted.

"Serena!" England shouted as he finally caught up with Serena. "What should we do?!" He shouted as Serena lead him away, 'I need to think fast. If I'm not quick enough about this, then England will die.' Serena though to herself as she felt something in her bag. 'My spare clothes?' She asked as an idea went in her head. 'That's it! I'll switch places with England! Besides, most can't tell the difference.'

"I have an idea!" Serena responded as England got in front of her. Taking her spare clothes out of her bag and handed it to her originator.

"I want you to wear my spare clothes and run. Put them on and get quickly away from here. Don't worry, it'll be alright. Besides they can't tell the difference."

England was surprised, "What so you mean?!" He asked as he quickly put on the clothes, and noticed that Serena cut her hair. "The witch told me you could escape." Serena answered, "But it'll be my life that is lost." She added.

"You can't! You're immoral, just like me!" England shouted back, "I just age like you England, but I can die. 'A life for a life' as Lucia put it." Serena answered as she stood in place, "You must run NOW! We don't have time!" Serena added as England ran away, 'Just go somewhere that's not here, you'll be safe, my precious originator.' Serena thought to herself.

As he ran away, England noticed that Serena was singing, "Now I am the nation, and you're the escapee. We are ones torn apart, when our fate should have shown." England gasped as she continued.

"If they all say that you have evil blood. That means I have that same evil blood within me." He heard as the crowd marched in and took Serena away. 'You must pretend to be Serena if you want this to work.' The witch's voice came to him as he ran away. "England!" He cried, trying to be like Serena.

'It feels odd to shout my own name for someone else.' England told himself as he ran east.

~a few hours later~

New of the event were coming. People from all around we're coming to see what would happen that day. Serena sighed in the dungeon, dressed in prisoners' clothing. "I'm doing this for you England. Please understand that." She whispered as the doors opened.

"It's time traitor." The man called as chains carried Serena to the main area; a forested town with a stump in the middle.

"People here in this town today!" The man shouted as an executioner was next to him. "Today, we all se the punishment that this one has made over the past few years." He called as the people cheered. Serena could see England run toward the front, with her blue hood over his head. Hiding the added hair he received when they switched.

"The only punishment we can give to this one." The man paused as the executioner got a sword with a red handle out. "Is death itself!" He called as the people cheered once more. "When you are ready." He whispered to the executioner.

Serena looked at a sun dial, and noticed how it was 3 in the afternoon. "Oh." She shouted to get the crowd's attention, "I believe the time of tea is now!" Serena called as the sword went over her neck, cutting her head off.

~England's point of view~

I couldn't believe it, Serena traded places with me; I don't understand why she did it. She even warned me it would happen, why couldn't I see that?

But as I looked up at the hill, I saw the executioner, a sword with a blood red handle. That sword was used for things like this. Serena looked over, and there was a sundial near by. And her mouth opened.

It was then I realized what she was going to say; it was one of my favorite lines to use. "Oh." I heard her shout. The sword was coming near her neck. I couldn't move. This was a decision she made. And I can't change it.

"I believe the time of tea is now!" She called back as the crowd screamed and shouted "Kill him! Give him what he deserves!"

Red. I saw red everywhere. It was Serena's blood. And Serena was right; she aged like me but she can die. "I'm so sorry Serena." I whimpered as I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry young lady; Serena I believe your name is. I know you were really close to him, but it's what we had to do." A woman spoke as she hugged me. It was a really long time since someone gave me this kind of hug.

But I heard Serena's voice, she was already taken away from me forever. "I love you. I miss you. I hope we're together some time again."

I cried even harder, I hadn't felt this way since Scotland took me away from her. Perhaps this was what he meant by "You'll find out later."

~third person~

People were walking away, glad to see that their time of happiness would return. But little did they know, England was still alive. It was his mirror image; Serena, they killed.

What they didn't also know was that the war would continue until 1453. England's power continued to grow when people started to move away to the new world.
