Chapter eight: Visitors
The rest of the day was similar to the beginning for Finland; with him usually waking up to have the others talk to him until he needed pain killers again and ended up following asleep for a little more rest. With night coming, Sweden reluctantly left with Denmark to check on Sealand who had arrived at his house earlier that day. Before he left however, he made absolutely sure that Finland would be alright.
When night came and the others began to get tired themselves, they decided to take shifts as to when to watch Finland and when who would sleep. As it was however, nothing out of the ordinary happened, and when Sweden and Denmark came back the next day with Sealand he was pleased to find Finland awake and slowly nibbling on some form of lumpy breakfast.
When Sweden and Sealand entered the room, Finland placed the spoon down on the tray and stared at Sealand. Sweden then walked over to the bed and asked how he was feeling. In response, Finland stared at Sweden scared for a moment before giving him a slight smile and saying, "A-alright I guess. My head still hurts a little but not as bad."
Sweden nodded and went to sit down while the others greeted him and Sealand. While the others were doing this, Finland could not help but watch the others; Sealand in particular. Sealand noticed this and walked up to the bed while smiling and asked, "Hey momma Finland, I heard that you were back. I also heard that you could not remember some stuff, is that true?"
Finland then looked at the boy and asked, "…Momma?"
"Well, ya, you know. Since Sweden adopted me and you're always really close with him I sometimes call you momma," Sealand said while trying to explain. After he said this, Finland looked over to Sweden for a moment confused.
Denmark then asked, "Well, do you remember him Finland?"
To the question Finland looked again at the boy for a moment before looking down at the two-thirds filled bowl. At last he said, "I'm not sure…maybe. He kind of looks like this other guy I think I used to know, but I can't remember his name right now."
"Really," Sealand whined a little displeased at being possibly forgotten to only then have a quick attitude change and say, "Hey Finland, if you want to re-learn about me I could tell you some stuff if you recognize me as a nation."
Finland gave him an even more confused look only to look away from him when Norway said, "It's alright Finland, you will most likely remember more about him as you get better. The same for the others."
Sealand looked down dismayed at the others' silent warning to let Finland heal in peace while Finland nodded and looked back at the food in front of him with a slight frown. Estonia then walked over to Finland and asked what was wrong. In response Finland weakly said sorry.
"Hey now, we just said it was alright. There's nothing you need to apologize for," Denmark said while going over to pat his head. He then paused however before touching it and took his hand awkwardly away.
For the next few hours the day went rather calmly with Finland continuing to rest and occasionally speaking to the others as he thought of something or was simply bored. Then as evening came the group began to separate as Norway, Denmark and Iceland left for a coffee break, leaving Sweden, Estonia, and Sealand to watch Finland. Estonia however had to leave shortly after they did for several minutes to get the others some food, followed a little later by Sweden leaving to use the bathroom; leaving Sealand to watch Finland.
Estonia was coming back with a couple bags of food when he noticed someone he knew in the hospital corridor, someone who he did not want to see; Russia. Russia saw him too, and smiled creepily at him. At last Russia began to walk over to Estonia and say, "Hello Estonia, I hear you found Finland."
"Really," Estonia said dryly only to then ask, "W-where did you hear that?"
"Latvia told me last night," Russia said, "Of course he did not want to tell me right away but he then opened up after some persuading."
Estonia stared at him terrified and began to tremble as Russia leaned close to him and asked, "So where is he?"
Before he knew what he was doing, Estonia rushed off away from Russia and towards the room where Finland was. Russia however was not in the mood to follow him running however and quickly caught up to him. When Russia grabbed the Estonian, he began to call out for help to a nurse. Not wanting to make a scene, Russia simply asked his captive to be quiet, but when it was obvious that Estonia would not he saw no choice but to knock him out and continue his look for Finland.
Several minutes after Russia passed, Norway and the other two came back and passed Estonia. Stunned to see him knocked out with several other nurses trying to wake him up, they went over to see if they could help. As they got over there, Estonia was just waking up enough to mumble out the name 'Russia.' When they heard this name, they began to get worried for Finland and rushed off to his room; bumping into Sweden who then joined them.
In Finland's room, Finland was watching a re-run of a cartoon while Sealand sat in a chair doing the same. Sealand then heard some commotion in the corridor, causing him to look at what was wrong. When Sealand saw Russia he began to worry; after all, during the day and night before he had heard from the others that Russia had something to do with Finland's disappearance and he doubted that they would want Russia and Finland meeting again.
Before he thought Russia saw him, Sealand locked the glass door and drew the curtain so that they had some form of a hiding place. As he did this, Finland began to ask what was wrong, causing Sealand to tell him that he needed to be quiet. In response Finland gave Sealand a worried look but stayed quiet.
The two of them knew that they were found however when they heard the glass on the other side of the curtain shatter. Moments later the curtain was opened to reveal the two of them to Russia.
When Russia saw that the only thing standing in his way at the moment was a micronation, he began to relax; especially when he noticed how happy Finland looked to see him. He looked at Finland and asked, "Hello Finland, I was worried about you."
"Brother Russia, I know, you told me not to leave and I'm sorry, but I have so much good news to tell you," Finland began too happy about what he had to say to notice that Russia was beginning to lose his happy smile, "The people here fixed my head so that I now shouldn't be so much of a nuisance and something even better happened. They don't hate me, Russia. Estonia and the Nordics said so. They're actually happy that they found me!"
"I think it is time that we left, da," Russia said while reaching for Finland.
"Don't you understand? We don't need to hide me anymore. It must have just been some kind of big misunderstanding," Finland continued.
"So what are you saying," Russia said while walking forward, a distinct edge to his voice that caused Finland to stop talking and Sealand to stand in between them as if he could solely stop Russia.
At last Finland re-found his voice and asked, "W-why do you sound so upset? Besides, the doctor who was here a little while ago said that I can't leave yet."
To this Russia roughly pushed Sealand out of his way, causing him to land painfully against the foot of the bed, and began to drag Finland out of bed. As he said this he said, "We have to leave now!"
"But-," Finland began to argue only to stop when he remembered something. He remembered arguing with Russia and trying to pull away from him like he was currently. He remembered pulling away from him and falling out of the building. He remembered Russia staring at him as he fell.
So what will happen now that he remembers what happened?
As always, please review~
