Chapter seven: dreams or reality

"Everyone enjoy the party," Denmark yelled out to the others, all of them nations that Finland vaguely recalled. He was not sure where he was and what was happening; he was at a party with these people but he could not understand why. And why did they look so happily at him? Was this from before they started hating him?

He was taken out of these thoughts when he heard someone's dog barking. Wondering where the dog was, he followed the noise to the little white fluff ball. He had to admit that it was cute and stared at it until he felt someone grab at him. The person who grabbed him began to speak to him, and for a moment he thought he recognized the voice; but who was it?

Before Finland could remember who the voice belonged to, he began to hear voices; causing him to slowly come back from his dream. As he opened his eyes, he noticed that the only other person in the room was the youngest Nordic, playing on a handheld game and occasionally looking up at him. Finland stayed silent, not sure if he should try to talk to the boy when Iceland noticed that he was awake.

Upon seeing Finland look at him, Iceland slowly turned the game off, got up, and left the room. After he left the voices which were from outside the room quieted down, followed by the other Nordics and Estonia entering the room and asked him how he was feeling.

It took Finland a moment to answer before saying, "I had another dream, or was it another memory, I don't really know…"

"Why don't you tell us about it and maybe we can help you find out," Norway said while sitting down.

After a moment of trying to remember it along with looking at them warily Finland said, "Alright, well. I was at a party with you guys and a lot of other people when I heard this cute, little puppy barking. Then when I went to see the puppy this person grabbed me. His voice sounded familiar but," Finland stopped here and placed his head in his hand before saying, "My head hurts."

"That's not surprising buddy. I mean it has been only a day since you had surgery on your head," Denmark said while trying to laugh, but even Finland could see that he was in thought like the rest of them.

As Finland watched the group think; he began to look worried until at last he asked what everyone was thinking. To this Estonia explained, "Well, I think what you were dreaming of was the night that Russia kidnapped you."

When Finland heard this he gave Estonia a disbelieving look and replied, "But Russia didn't kidnap me, he saved me. He said so himself!"

Finland then stopped and closed his eyes as if in pain. Sweden then walked over to Finland's side and asked, "Do ya w'nt us t' h've the nurse g've ya s'me m're paink'llers?"

Sweden watched closely as Finland slowly looked at him before giving a slight nod; only to then close his eyes again out of pain. To this Estonia left the room only to return with a nurse a few minutes later.

Sweden moved out of the way while the nurse administered the painkiller through a tube leading into Finland's arm. As she did this, she looked down at Finland sweetly and said, "This is going to make you a little sleepy, but that's okay alright."

Finland did not response to her, and instead tried to focus on the others as the painkiller took effect. After she did this, she then turned to the guests and reminded them that Finland was not supposed to be doing anything strenuous; physically or mentally. The others however simply blew off her advice; each of them knowing from their own history that he would be in no mood for anything too strenuous.

With this the nurse left, and the others quietly watched as their friend began to drift back into sleep. Before Finland did fall asleep however, Norway said, "As strange as it may seem to you, everything that we are and will be telling you is the truth."

Russia knew that Estonia had to be at least part of the reason Finland was gone, the fact that he missed the meeting without any excuse was reason enough to suspect him. So then where was Estonia hiding Finland? The most obvious answer he could think of was that Estonia took him as far from his house as he could, but Russia obviously could not simply go around the world and look for him. No, he would need help; or in the very least a clue. To find this clue, Russia decided that the first people to ask would be the other Baltics; to be more specific, Latvia.

Russia reached Latvia's house late at night, waking the younger boy up and causing him to have to pinch himself in fear that he was having a nightmare. Once he was sure that Russia was actually at his house, Latvia allowed Russia in and asked why he was here. To this Russia asked if Latvia knew where Estonia was.

To Russia's question Latvia said, "Ya, I called him a couple hours ago wondering where he was today. He said that he was at a hospital, apparently he found Finland. Isn't that great, he also said that the other Nordics were there and equally happy. It must be nice to have siblings like that."

Latvia then stopped when he noticed the scary aura beginning to appear around him as Russia repeated himself, "Where is Estonia?"

Latvia began to tremble as he said, "I-I'm sorry sir, but Estonia was not very specific. He and the others don't think it would be best for everyone to know where Finland is right now. He-!" Latvia stopped suddenly when Russia got out of his chair and grabbed the smaller nation roughly. He then said angrily, "Tell me where Estonia is now, da!"

"I-I-I," was all Latvia could stumble out before Russia pushed Latvia so roughly that the chair he was still in tipped over. Latvia fell onto the ground on his back as Russia said, "Tell me now."

At last Latvia said, "T-Tallinn! H-He's in a hospital in Tallinn!"

Russia then smiled sweetly at Latvia and asked, "There, that was not so hard, da? But your stupid stuttering has cost me time, so I will have to punish you for it quickly."

About five minutes later, Russia finally left the house for Tallinn; leaving Latvia on the floor in his living room beaten unconscious.

Poor Latvia…
