"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."~Helen Keller

"So Alfred how was the food". Matthew asked walking with his brother around the backyard of the house. The backyard was also invisible so the others could have the pets back there, or just hang out in the outside air without fear of being found.
"It was incredible though, you all seemed to smile creepily at me why was that".
"No reason, so you like living here".
"Yes, but". Alfred said stopping in his tracks causing Matthew to follow.
"But". He asked curiously.
"But I just don't feel safe being so near of them, I have dream most of the night. It's either I kill you or they kill you, but I can never save anyone". Alfred said covering his face.
"It's ok, we are hidden so we are safe".
"From them, I'm sorry if I ever hurt anyone".
"It's alright you're learning now, everything will be alright". Matthew patted Alfred's back lovingly. "We all love you like family, hell we are a family now. I'm so happy that we met again".
"I promise you I'll never let anyone hurt my new family". He said and hugged his brother.
"Aw it's so sveet, I vish I had a kishúga". Elizaveta said from behind the doorway to Arthur, Francis, and Kiku.
"I wish I didn't have my brothers and they won't stop harrassing me". Arthur said and the next thing he knew, a French mans arm was wrapped around his waist.
"Mon Amour smile". Francis said as Kiku and Elizaveta's camera's flashed.
"Off me frog". The Brit glared at the Frenchy.
"HOLY SHIT A WHALE". Alfred yelled and they looked out the door to see him hugging Peter's whale.
"Veird boy". Elizaveta said with a bright smile. Suddenly the sirens went off scaring the crap out of the American.
"OH-The house alarm-BOYS COME IN HERE NOW". Arthur yelled and the twins came running into the house scared.
"Go with Kiku and Elizaveta while we zake care of ze problem". Francis said and the two of them ran off in one direction and the others ran in the other direction. Alfred hadn't been paying attention so when he looked up, he was alone in and endless hallway.
"Shit". Alfred said and sat down with a pout. "Well they'll find me soon". He said and resumed thinking once more. 'I don't fell anyone near by'. Alfred said making his feet grope the ground. "I hope they find me soon I'm hungry now". Alfred said and laid down on the ground, it was nice and cold unlike outside.
Back in the front of the house, the alarm was shut off and the trespasser turn out only to be Allister Kirkland, Arthur's, of many, older brother. He had been out drinking so he was a little pissed, but he wasn't drunk yet. (:D HA HA DRUNK LIFE OF A SCOTTISH MAN)
"Allister go sleep In the den". Dylan, another brother of Arthur's, said patting his brother on the back.
"Mph". He said giving up and walked to the den, flopping down so hard he was likely to break the sofa. Dylan was the closet to Allister therefore, he was the only one able to calm the Scottish bastard.
"Now everyone was spooked for a minor reason aru". Yao said and shot Arthur a glare. "Keep brother on leash from now on".
"He's fuckin older, Dylan you keep the leash on him".
"He had one, but he broke it". Wales chuckled and looked as the crowd of people made their way into the hallway.
"Seriously just the Scot, we need a camera". Erik said said with a cold glare.
"He scared us though, I thought it was people coming back for Ne-Alfred".
"Alfred is he the newbie".
"Yes he is the right over her-es". Elizaveta said pointing a finger around to the group she came with. "Where is Alfred". Now everyone was turning, but they couldn't find him.
"YOU LOST HIM". Mathias yelled while panicking.
"THE SCOTSMAN AT DER DOOR DIDN'T GIVE US TIME FOR A HEAD COUNT". Elizaveta yelled while trying to keep tears back. She felt horrible being the eldest and loosing a member she was to guide to safety.
"Shit retrace your steps I'm sure we'll find him". Arthur said and Elizaveta ran down the hallway. Arthur, Francis, Matthew, Kiku, and Gilbert followed her knowing the home the best.
They stopped at the hiding place they had been at and ran down the hallway they took to escape the scary alarm. They ran straight till they came to a four way cross section.
"It gets cooler down here lucky Baltics wing". Matthew said holding his bear.
"Dis vay". Elizaveta said and ran left, getting passed by Gilbert. "Vait you ass". She yelled only to get a remark.
"I'M AWESOME-AWESOME ME FOUND THE TWERP". Gilbert yelled and they rushed, turning the corner they saw Alfred laying on the ground.
"Alfred". Matthew said with relief.
"YO VAKE UP NEWBIE". Gilbert yelled and Alfred opened his eyes.
"Oh hey Gilbo". Alfred said with a wide smile.
"GILBO VHAT SIE FUCK".
"HA HA GILBO THE CLOWN". Alfred yelled and laughed.
"ALFRED I'M SO SORRY I LOST YOU". Elizaveta said with tears in her eyes.
"I think I got distracted, it's not you fault Miss. Elizaveta". Alfred said with an 'I'm sorry' smile.
"Let's get back then". Matthew said holding out his hand.
"Cool, by the way who was at the door".
"My not drunk ass of a brother". Arthur said rubbing his head. "Come now Alfred I think we showed start piling the blankets for the siesta". Arthur said as Alfred pulled himself up with the help of Matthew.
"Alright but I'm not sleeping near Gilbo the clown". A fist came down on Alfred's head and he fell unconscious onto Arthur.
"BLOODY HELL".
"GILBERT". Mattes yelled as he now help Arthur carry his some how heavy brother.
"LISTEN I DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT HIM ZAT HARD HE'S A PUSSY". Gilbert yelled as the walked back into the dining room, everyone had blankets out and pajamas on. They now stared at the group and then Alfred who was on conscious.
"Good god vhat did you do". Roderich asked with crossed arms.
"I only smacked him with my fist on his head".
"G-Gil". Alfred said in his sleep.
"Oh".
"Bo". Alfred managed to say with a smile.
"LITTLE FUCK". Gilbert yelled and the two had to let Alfred go, to protect him. They held Gilbert back as Alfred fell, smacking his head on the table.
"Oh Bloody Hell". Arthur said and retrieve the now silent American.
"Calm down Gilbert". Matthew said as loud as he could while holding the older man.
After a half an hour of calm Gilbert down they managed to get everyone settled and into their sleeping arrangements. Arthur slept next to Alfred on his right, facing Matthew who ha Gilbert sleeping on his left. Everyone was quiet in the room, even Allister shared with Dylan and slept quietly until.
"Gilbo". Alfred muttered in his sleep, causing another attack.
"Gil why are you so crabby". Matthew asked holding the boy back.
"I'm sexually frustrated, not only me though, ever since Alfred came no ones been able to get laid".
"It's actually been a rough month". Mathias said sharing a bed with Lukas.
"Just teach the kid about sex". Allister said in the dark, everyone was sure he was banging his younger brother, Dylan.
"You do it then, ruin the innocence he deserves". Arthur said laying back down on the pillow. Everyone went silent and until snores filled the room.
The next morning Alfred woke up first with a huge headache though, it wasn't really bright so around the mid of night. He got a bit thirsty so he went to retrieve a glass of water, which was ok till he realized he had to take a major piss. Alfred ran into the bathroom, barely able to hold it in, and threw the seat up. After he peed he flicked on the lights to wash his hands, only to see blood splattered on the wall. He ran out into the kitchen and turned on the light to show bloody walls.
He sprung his eyes awake and look around at everyone to see them sleeping calmly.
"A-Alfred what's wrong". Arthur asked, being woken up made him worry.
"Arthur". Alfred said as he let tears fall and held onto Arthur. He buried his face in Arthur's chest and Arthur wrapped his arms around the hysterical boy.
"Was it a nightmare".
"Yes, Yes". Alfred said and nodded holding Arthur closer.
"It's alright I'm right here, so nothing will harm you". Arthur let the boy snuggle him like a doll when he was scared. Alfred screamed into Arthur's chest tightening the hold again and Arthur hunched over Alfred. Arthur repeatedly patted Alfred's head till he was certain he was asleep, then followed him once again.
The daytime morning came and Arthur woke up everyone, letting the younger Neph sleep a little more than the rest.
"Arthur, Alfred's face is stained with tears what's happened". Matthew asked sitting up on Gilberts lap.
"He had a terrible nightmare, it scared him to tears". Arthur said laying Alfred's head on the pillow.
"What was it".
"I don't know".
"T-There was so much blood". Alfred said surprising them all. Arthur looked down at the boy clutching his arm. "Just like back th-". Alfred momentarily froze then snapped out of it tightening his clutch. "That's right I killed so many". He said and sat up.
"Well it's been a month since then and it's time for your schooling".
"I'm sort of happy but at the same time I wanna say, Oh Fuck". Alfred said secretly getting closer to the Brit.
"Ha Ha". Matthew laughed and then his brother laid on the ground and held his head. "Oh".
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU GILBERT, GAH MY HEAD". He said rolling around making the three sitting their smile.
"Whatever twerp just go learn stuff".
"It won't take long". Alfred said sitting up while people took their blankets to their room and returned for breakfast.
"What do you me".
"I've noticed ever since I've escaped, I've learned a new way to speak, different languages, etc.".
"Why's that".
"It's part of the experiment, I quickly adapt to anything". Alfred put his hand over his chest. "I adapt so I can control the new powers they inject me with, your powers. I also heal fast because I'm so advanced that an injury just dries up".
"Wait our powers". Allister asked walking over to Alfred.
"Yah your powers, your abilities why do you think they took your blood on occasion".
"So what your saying is Neph 74 is the most powerful of our kind because, your all of us in one".
"Yep they let all of you run off because they had your blood, but". Alfred looked down to the ground. "I'm just an experiment once I'm dead, they'll replace me".
"EH".
"Me being here is a problem for them and you, it's not my fault they forced my hand this fucking way. I'll just kill them when the time comes".
"N-No Alfred, killing is bad". Matthew said shaking his finger.
"I think I'll go get dressed". Alfred said in a robotic tone. When he stood up he realized that everyone had been listening in and watched him.
"You'll learn to protect yourself, Alfred without killing them". Matthew said standing on his knees, but fell back to the ground with a pale face.
"Mattie".
"His eyes". Matthew pointed a shaking finger at his brothers face and look up with everyone.
"Oh shit, Neph 74". Gilbert said looking at the bright crimson eyes.
"Alfred". Arthur said standing up with a glare. "Go get dressed and meet in the dining room, if not I'll turn Ludwig's dogs free on you".
"I'll kill the fuckers". A slap resounded the room as Alfred blinked with blue eyes. He covered his cheek slowly and glared at Arthur. "THE FUCKS WRONG WITH YOU".
"Hey I fixed his face".
"Oh-what".
"Your eyes were red again Al". Matthew said standing up to his brother.
"Oh". Alfred covered his eyes and rubbed at them. "It's not blood".
"You don't control the Neph, do you".
"OF COURSE I DO, I just share it".
"Share".
"Yah long story short, I needed a friend". Alfred said and stared at the new boys looking at him.
"Alright everyone else, go clean up". Arthur said getting groans.
"HEY FELICIANO". Alfred yelled and ran over to the Italian.
"Alfred-god for the love of the queen". Arthur said and started picking up the blanket. "Matthew can you make Alfred's bed please".
"Sure but I won't do it all the time". Matthew said and carried the blankets to Alfred's room.
"Si I finished it last night after dinner".
"Sweet thanks dude".
"No problem I just like helping people out and pasta".
"I heard that, well gotta go learn". Alfred said and took off to his room. When he got there he saw Matthew looking at the wall. "Cool huh". Alfred said looking at the door, Feliciano had painted an Eagle with his wings spread out. Underneath his wings were the Neph of the house. "It's symbolizes that we are the free and the brave".
"This is amazing".
"Well I'm going to get dressed". Alfred said and shut the door before pulling out clothes. He undressed in front Matthew, who made the bed.
"Those scars". Matthew said pointing at the scars on Alfred's chest.
"Before I got the ability to heal faster, they cut me open these are scars of that". He put a T-Shirt on and some slim fit jeans, courtesy of Elizaveta, Kiku, and most of the girls.
"Alfred your leaving a mess on the floor, I'll just clean your room too".
"NO DON'T". Alfred yelled scaring Matthew.
"Ah".
"I'LL CLEAN I NEED TO LEARN RIGHT". Alfred said with a fishy smile.
"Alright then, your beds done come on breakfast".
"Good I'm hungry". Alfred said and someone pushed the door open.
"MATTIE AWESOME ME IS HERE TO SAVE YOU FROM ZE BRITS COOKING". Gilbert broke in, grabbed Matthew, and ran out of the room with several people.
"Oh". Alfred let out confused at what everyone was running from. He went to the door and peaked out to see everyone at the end of the hall in a pile, scared to death. "Ok then". He said blinking at them.
"LAD SAVE YOURSELF". Allister yelled holding his brothers close.
"Oh why-oh wait I know you". Alfred said staring him down. "Your the kid that talked to me, called me a fucktard for being in a cage".
"RUN ARTHUR'S COOKING". Dylan yelled clinging for dear life to Allister. Alfred ignored them and stuck his nose in the hair to smell. This confused the rest who pressed into the wall.
"Let's see…Lavender, gasoline, rat poison, mint, flower(the plant), alcohol what's he making". Alfred said walking toward the kitchen.
"NO". They yelled but he was already in the kitchen.
"God save 'im". Francis said holding Gilbert, Antonio, and Matthew.
"SCONES ARE DONE". Arthur called from the kitchen as smoke came out.
"EH". Everyone slowly scooted closer to the kitchen, fearing for the American.
"Alfred". Matthew asked hiding behind Gilbert.
"Yah". Alfred said walking out with the rat poison, gasoline, etc. He had a dull face as he hid the lethal combination. He went back into the kitchen and carried out Arthur, who was kicking, with the same dull look. He went back once more with a fire extinguisher, making some worry.
