Leslie: I'm doing the author's note because Sierra's brain has exploded from all the homework she had to do. Poor girl….. Enjoy chapter 18 of the Real World…. Even if I'm not in this story anymore…
I was sleeping until Alfred woke me up with his loud ass snoring. He's lucky he looks adorable in his sleep or I would have punched him. That probably wouldn't have work considering he's a heavy sleeper.
It's been a week since the party and since Alfred and I made up. I was living with him and Bernie again. Leslie was, to my surprise, sad that I was leaving. Scott took it pretty hard too, but we all promised to call and visit each other during Christmas and summer break. I was still able to keep Rosily though. It is 5:30 a.m. and Alfred and I were currently in Germany so I could get my blood test done. My test was scheduled for 7:30 a.m.
Two hours till the truth. I had butterflies in my stomach and was freaking out. Not because I was about to learn if I was going to be a country or not. It was because I was going to turn myself into a country today. Thanks to stealing Germany's book about how the blood test works the day we arrived and toured the facility where I would get my test done. Also thanks to me for being such a flipping genius! Now here was how the test worked.
They would take three samples of my blood and test it to see if I was a country. Then since Mother Africa is my mom the doctors, or whoever was conducting the test, would inject me with her blood to see how I would react to it. Now here's the trick. I was going to switch out Mother Africa's blood with Sierra's blood. If I had a good reaction with it then I could be a country. Yesterday when Alfred and I toured the facility, I made up a lie and said I needed to use the restroom when I actually snuck off to the blood lab and stole Sierra's blood. And a tiny bit of Russia's blood.
Yea, it's weird that I'm caring my sister's and Russia's blood around in my bag, but I don't give a flying hamhock!( A/N: xD I say this all the time). I needed Russia's blood because if I was going to be a country I wanted to at least be strong. Now you know why I was nervous because I was about to do something that could get me killed. I hope this worked.
I shifted closer to Alfred's warm body and went to sleep again. When I woke up again it was almost 7:00 a.m. I might as well get up and face my possible death. Yippee! Alfred yawned and stretched his arms. "Morning Jen. Let's get dressed so we can get going. Hmm I wonder if they have cheeseburgers here in Germany?"
My stomach growled. "Yea, I could defiantly go for some food." Alfred looked over to me and told me the worst thing ever. "Hate to break it to you, but eating before a blood test is bad. You'll get sick and will probably throw up your food. I suggest you don't get anything."
"What?" I shrieked. "This is madness! Can I have one piece of bacon?"
"No."
"Life is too damn cruel!" I stalked off to the bathroom to get dressed. This morning was already to a terrible start. No bacon to help me get through the blood test. When I finished getting dressed and grabbed my bag( which had the blood I stole) I left the bathroom, Germany and Alfred were standing in the middle of the room discussing something.
"Hey Germany. Are we ready to go?" I asked anxiously. I just wanted to get this over with. Germany nodded. "Yes, we have the car waiting for us. Let's go shall we?" I took Alfred's hand and we walked out of our hotel into Germany's car. When we got in the car, Germany told the driver, in German, to take us to the testing facility. I'm glad Saint Elizabeth's taught me German before I left.
We road in silence to the facility. Everyone was so tense. My hands were shaking and were sweating uncontrollably. I decided to ask Germany a question. "Germany. How did my sister react when she was getting the test done?"
Germany stared at me blankly and hesitated for a minute. "If it'll make you feel better, Sierra cried even though she was 20 at the time. She was truly scared." I took all that in. My sister crying? That sounds about right. Sierra was a crybaby. I wasn't going to cry.
I might have a panic attack or something, but I won't cry. I hope. We arrived at the gray building where I would be getting the test done. I had several things to do.
First, I needed to switch out Mother Africa's blood with Sierra's (and a tiny bit of Russia's blood.) Second, I have to do it when I'm changing out of my clothes into the hospital gowns they provided for me. Third, pray that I'm not about to kill myself and that I'm actually turning myself into a country. I don't even know if this will work! It's just a theory I have from reading Germany's blood test books.
Well, I was about to find out.
When we walked into the building, two doctors grabbed my arms and pulled me into the room where I would get changed. Alfred smiled and gave me a thumbs up, but I could still see it in his eyes that he was just as nervous as me. The doctors took me into the room where I would get my test done. The room was big and it had all these machines. A typical surgery room. There were syringes and- hey look at that! Mother Africa's blood was already out on the table with the syringes. And the two doctors left me in the room so I could get changed.
Idiots. Never leave a scheming girl alone with the stuff she wants to tamper with. I quickly took out Sierra's and Russia's blood out of my bag. They were in these bottles. They were short and weren't that wide.
Was mixing blood dangerous? Hmmm…. Oh well! I'd leave Russia's blood out and see what they did with it. I took Mother Africa's blood and hid it in my bag. I'll return it later. Carrying my mom's blood around would be extremely creepy and freakish on my part. I wonder if she'll be here after I come back from my test?
I pondered on that question while I got dressed. I just realized how freaking cold it was inside of here. The two doctors came in and asked if I was ready. I told them I was ready to start. I laid back on the cot (which was uncomfortable by the way) and Germany came in.
"Ok Jen we're about to start taking three samples of blood then we'll eject you with your mother's blood and see how you react to it." Germany said. I nodded. The doctor took a syringe and stuck the cold, sharp needle through my arm. I shivered a bit. My eyesight got a bit blurry, but I could still see Germany take the syringe and put my blood into a bottle. The second time they stuck a syringe into my leg. I whimpered louder because it kind of hurt. The third time they stuck a syringe in my shoulder.
They must've taken a lot of blood because my eyesight was getting foggier and I felt like I would pass out any second. "Ugh." I moaned. I couldn't hear that much anymore, but I could make out Germany asking the doctors about why there were two bottles of blood.
"Mr. Germany. The nurse who brought it in here probably brought in two of Mother Africa's blood because she probably didn't know how much we would need. Let's just inject her with a little bit of both and see how she reacts." The doctor said.
If I wasn't feeling like crap I would defiantly smirk right now. Germany took a syringe and took out Sierra's blood. I gulped. This was it. Germany inserted the needle into my arm and I felt cold. My head was pounding and I was getting colder by the second. I was soaked in my own sweat. I started moaning really loud. It was so painful! At this point I wasn't in my right mind.
Who am I? Why am I here? Who am I?
WHO AM I?
You're Sierra Leone!
I passed out.
"Awww! Come on sis! You can't pass out like that. If you wanna take my place then you gotta be strong!" I opened my eyes and I saw Sierra standing in front of me with a smile on her face. I ran up to her and hugged her. "I missed you so much!" I cried. Sierra hugged me back. "I missed you too Jen." She smiled and it brought back the memories of how sweet and nice she was to me. She was kind of like my mother figure in a weird way.
Sierra looked at me with a serious look on her face. "I understand what you're doing and, to be honest, I support you." She held her hand out and smiled once more. "Come on. Take my hand so you can be a country." I took her hand and my body started shaking. It felt like fire was tearing its way through my body. My body went limp and I passed out again.
Germany was worried about Jen. She fainted and her heart rate was slowing down. There was a long beep and he saw that Jen's heart had stopped beating. "Dammit!" he cursed. He started pushing his hands against her chest trying to revive her. Suddenly, the monitor beeped again and Jen's heartbeat came back. Germany let out a sigh of relief. Jen opened up her eyes and Germany looked startled. "J-jen?" Germany stuttered. Something was obviously wrong because Germany never stuttered. Jen had sat up and was taking away all the wires that hooked her up to the machines. Her eyes were a startling purple color.
She got up and ran for the door. The other doctors in the room tried to stop the young girl, but she pushed them out of the way.
Alfred was in the waiting room. He was so worried about Jen. Iggy, Italy, Russia, France, Spain, and Mother Africa were waiting with him. They also had the same anxious looks on their faces. He hoped Jen was ok. After this he was going to get her the best pizza in America! She deserved that much. Suddenly, there was a loud crashing noise and a scream. They heard footsteps running down the hallway and Jen came in. Her eyes were purple! Why the hell were they purple? What happened?
Jen glanced at everyone in the room until her eyes became situated on Mother Africa. In a rushing move, she grabbed Mother Africa and slammed her against the wall.
"Jen! What are you doing?" Alfred asked. He knew Jen hated Mother Africa, but this was ridiculous! Jen turned around and stared at him with those purple eyes that reminded him of Russia. Jen smirked and said something that shocked the whole room of waiting countries.
"Jen? Hahaha! Sorry to break it to ya, but Jen died. I'm the country Sierra Leone! Deal with it!"
I know I know that was a hell of a ending, but I loved writing this chapter! I'm glad I got all my stuff done.
Tomorrow I'm seeing the Hunger Games! May the odds be in your favor!
