A/N: haha three people guessed correctly who the mysterious woman is xD and 3 people have told me sequel so I guess I'll make one soon. I have a huge English assignment due in almost 3 weeks and then the 8th grade retreat so I have to focus on that assignment. So updates won't be as often. D: On to the chapter….
As the cat lunged at me, my headache came back and my head was pounding. I didn't have my medicine with me. The orange cat had its claws ready to scratch me until a hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back.
"Don't just stand there, dumm( stupid)!" Prussia yanked me back again as another cat lunged toward us. My eyesight was getting blurry and my headache got worse. Suddenly, I was talking. The words weren't mine I swear!
"Greece. You throwing your ignoramus cats at me aren't going to make me give back Rosily. Rosily was killed by Belarus. So if you want to avenge Rosily go talk to Belarus." I said. Greece eyes had a mix of horror and shock on his face. "B-Belarus k-killed m-my Rosily?" Greece stuttered. Then laughter erupted from me. Not my laugh though. It sounded completely different!
"Hahaha! I'm kidding! Rosily is at home. Now if you excuse us can we continue our Christmas shopping?" I asked kindly. I pushed past Greece. I continued down the aisle and didn't stop.
My headache stopped when I looked at the kittens you could choose from. They were all different shapes and sizes. Prussia came up next to me. "That was impressive, Jen. I heard about your split personality from West. He was very concerned about it." I shrugged. I honestly didn't care anymore. I saw an orange kitten with black stripes stand on its hind legs and mew at me. I picked it up. It had big brown eyes. I wanted to squeal so badly! This was the cat for Italy.
"Hey Prussia where's Canada?" I asked wondering where our quiet went. "I don't know." Prussia responded. I suddenly heard someone say. "I'm right here…" I turned around and there was Canada. He was a ghost!
"Um, Canada? Why the hell are you a ghost?" I asked. Canada shrugged. "I'm not sure, but this happens for a little while. I really don't know why." I turned back to Prussia who was giving me a weird look. "Who are you talking too?" Now it was my turn to look confused. "Um, Canada, who is right beside me."
"Oh Jen don't worry about me. This happens from time to time. You're the only person who has actually seen me." Poor Canadia. Always being overlooked and ghost like. "Come on Prussia and ghost Mattie. Let's go get Antonio a turtle and get the heck out of here."
After getting Antonio and Italy there new pets, Prussia helped me find some things the other countries might like. For Russia we got him some vodka and a beautiful restraining order against Belarus. For Switzerland, we got him savings bond (I don't know where Prussia comes up with these things.). For Germany, I got him so Play Boy magazines because I love pulling pranks on Christmas. Germany likes to read right? So he can read/ stare at the people in the magazines. I've never seen a Play Boy, but I assume you read somewhere in it, right? Anyway, I got Japan some manga and some manga that had porn in it or something. Prussia is the one doing the shopping here! I'm just here for the ride.
After 3 hours we finally finished the shopping. As I promised I got Alfred something from McDonalds. We got back in the PruCan Band Wagon and this time Prussia drove. I sat with Canada in the back and we talked about Justin Beiber which he claims isn't his fault, but the other countries blame it on him all the time. After half an hour we made it back home. Bernie greeted us all. He explained that Belarus did minimum damage which I was very happy for.
"Where's Alfred?" I asked Bernie. I figured Alfred would have killed me from one of his hugs by now. Bernie's mouth slid into a frown and that made me worry. "Mr. Alfred will be home in the morning. You've had a tiring day." My eyes narrowed and I asked again, "Bernie where is he? You better not be keeping any secrets from me dammit!" Bernie still stared at me like I was a completely different person.
"Jen, he'll tell you when he gets home. I don't want you to worry."
*In England*
"I'll make this quick. My sister, Kate, is trying to kill Sierra Leone again. She used a spell and now when Jen goes back to the Real World time will keep moving. Who knows how much time has passed now. People will notice she's gone. I slowed down time a tiny bit, but it won't last for long. Kate will go after Sierra and then Jen once she finds out about what Jen did to herself. Kate will take advantage of that." Mother Africa explained to the six uneasy countries. America, England, France, Japan, Germany, and Russia. They all knew that when Mother Africa called a meeting it wouldn't be good. France broke the silence.
"So that means that we need to stop Kate before she kills Sierra. We should all go to the Real World and help Sierra. There's nothing we can do to Kate. We all remembered what happened last time…" France did have a point. The last time Kate tried to kill Sierra she failed and Mother Africa and Kate had a huge showdown. It wasn't pleasant. England had to use his own spells to stop the two women from killing each other. Alfred didn't need to be reminded of that showdown. It was bloody and the women used spells to try killing one another.
"Kate is eventually going to go after Jen once she finds out. If Kate figures out that Jen has been in the Real World for a year then she'll come back here and kill her. Kate was never sure if Jen was a country." Alfred explained. Japan agreed (like always).
Russia asked Mother Africa if they could go to the Real World, but Mother Africa refused. England exploded and he told Mother Africa they needed to go save her.
"Nothing will happen to Sierra. I re-casted the spell so Sierra should be safe for the time being. However, Jen needs to go back. I'm pretty sure Kate is already getting suspicious. Alfred lowered his head and he had a sad look in his eyes.
"Fine. Can she go back after New Year's?" Alfred asked. "I want to spend more time with her and explain about this situation." Mother Africa agreed, but she said it had to be right after New Year's.
"I don't want you getting more attached to her than you already have."
*In the Real World*
No matter how many times she chanted the spell it wouldn't work. Mother Africa was preventing her from going to see Sierra. And Jen had been gone for an hour now. The sun was setting. Her husband, Dave, came home and didn't even ask where Jen or Larissa was. He just went on and on about work. It was quite annoying really. Now she couldn't go see Sierra because Dave wanted her to stay for some reason. She sighed. How long would it be until she killed Sierra Leone?
How long would it be until she killed Mother Africa and took over her children?
Only time would tell.
A/N: Uh yea. I finally got cheer tryouts over with. I'll update at least twice over the weekend. I want to finish this story. It won't be too long. Maybe too chapter 26 and then I'll start the sequel which may begin later on in April or early May. Thanks for over 40 reviews. I'm about to go watch this new anime called Black Cat…. Ciao!
