~Chapter Three~

"Morning Echos of a Past and Heart"

I filled my lungs with the sweet life. I began to awaken, moving my legs against the material of my body, the situation around me was so... How to explain it?

I giggled at the pure serenity of the moment- it was so rare that it was really a pleasure to experience. It was perfect.

The feeling, the silent sound of the morning air entered the room, so I may smell the freedom of the ocean.. The feeling was so refreshing. My legs continued to move under the covers. I felt lighter- my whole body feels so much lighter- more real. Enjoying the feeling of pressure vanish in my chest, the pain that one stabbed near my chest had slowly vanished.. I felt so fragile, it was oddly nice. I didn't know why though.

I groaned a little. But...

I liked it... I snuggled closer to the source of warmth feeling the soft and smooth surface. My hand lightly grazed it, my fingertips moving up and down enjoying the touch the texture of this situation. I inhaled the scent- it made my heart pace. The aroma was so.. What was the word to describe it? Protective, so musty, so erotic. I felt my lips tug at each corner as I continued to smell.

I slowly felt my being stir from it's deep slumber. Feeling the senses that were once numb. Feeling the soar muscles awake with stiffness. It was then that I my senses awoke to a greater level.

The surface felt like something smooth.. I ran my hand over the surface once more. So soft, smooth, and warm. I smiled as I whispered out a few mumbles. I didn't want to look at the object yet because I wanted to try to figure it out.

" Soo nice.. Hmmm" I smuggled closer.

I felt vibrations from the tips of my fingers as I continued to stroke the surface. This time my legs began to stir. Feeling the silk fabric rub against my legs. A content sigh followed by giggles was felt. My chest felt so warm, so ticklish and sensitive that it was almost scary at first it was foreign. I wish I could

" Stay like this forever" My hand traveled up the mysterious surface that was so addictive to feel... Until I heard a low growl that shuddered against my touch, and a my wrist grabbed by a huge hand. My eyes fly open to see porcelain skin.. I felt my heart stop..

Did I just.. Non..non...Oh mon cher Dieu!

( Oh my dear god! According to google translations...)

I meet face to face with a blonde with rugged hair the color of golden hay, a sharp face, and the most shocking emerald eyes that glared viciously at my figure this lovely morning.

I felt my face twitch into a disgusted tension. I felt really...

" Oh Shi-"

The bird emitted a nose that drew attention away from me. The yellow feathered object that currently snuggled into the basket seemed to squint to see what was happening.

"..." England and I were both silent... We forgot the bird...

The little ball of cuteness slowly drew its head back and gave a slight blow from it's tiny chest. Once it blinked a few times it slowly wiggled down into he basket once again and the black eyes fell into a deep slumber.

" Awww." I silently whispered. " It sneezed..." I felt so stupid right now.. But it was the British man kept staring at me.. Almost a glare as if to question.. " WHY THE BLODDY HELL?" His eyes twitched as I started to feel my stomach quiver...

OOhh boy my luck huh? I soon released the tension from below by nervously giggling hoping the atmosphere would hopefully lighten up but I was wrong..

He was still stoic.. Arthur..

I leaned against him to sit up and he in suit followed my actions. He still held my hand

"So...Um..." I tried to formulate the words going through my mind... There were so many of them!

What happened?

When did I get here?

Why am I here?

Where am I?

He released my hand from his grip, he quickly turned his face to the side.. I could see the embarrassment on his features.. Holding my hand wasn't a thing he was used to I guess I was too..I felt my eyes drop from his gaze.

Oh yeah it was because of that.. I wasn't at home...

My hands tensed. I wanted to see something- no someone..But the flash backs seemed to wound me more.. Made me want to keep away from him..

I wanted to see something burn-no someone... but when I realized what I wanted to do. It began to hurt me more. This wasn't me.. What was happening?

I looked up at the dirty blond ( HAHAHAHAHA! just typed that and thought... BED HEAD! XD) who currently had his blouse unbutton to see..

The toned abs and nice well ( In summary... He was legible hot mess! XD...) body that was covered by the formal clothing he wore... Wow... I slept with that.

I caught sight of his emerald gaze for a bit before he turned away. I couldn't read his face and my throat was tied. I felt my cheeks grow warm as if the sun was kissing it leaving warm traces of red.

"Now that your in a jolly mood.." I looked up at him, he still didn't meet my contact-he looked somehow annoyed...

" I have a few questions to ask after we are out of this situation"

" Oh yeah that situation" I thought to myself.. " Why did he have to bring it up." I felt the blush vanishing from my cheeks and tingling from my eyes. Tears deprived my eyes from detail, slowing flowing the rims of my eyes with tears. I pouted trying to hide my pain from him.. I didn't want to cry in front of HIM!

Trying to push out words that failed to comply. I was able to some way push out a couple words that came to mind...

" What if..."

"What if?.." He replied. Everything grew silent.. I felt the bed move and looked up to meet Arthur.. Who was now facing me.

"What if," he pressed on his eyes finally meeting my gaze. His hand was on his chin and he currently sat hunched over facing me. Leaning towards me to hear what I had to say.. I looked down feeling a shiver run down my back.

"What if I don't want to.." I look back up to see his dashing soft green eyes tense and his face grow cold.. He studied me before looking away and standing up. He remained silent, grabbing his velvet red tie from the bed's night table.

" We will discuss this... Miss Seychelles.. Even if it is forced... I will try to uphold the gentle man's honor but.." He took a step closer to me... I sat frozen.. Heart echoing in my mind. before feeling warm breath provoke the sensitivities on my ear..

" We will talk about "this incident" In order to prevent another from happening..." He commanded, not losing my gaze before turning away and making his way to the door.. When the cherry wooden doorway closed.. All I could do was stay frozen from the site I had just seen... My hand slowly made it's way to caress my chest. Feeling the resonating fast pacing of my heart on to my tiny hands. I closed my eyes... It was such a mix of emotions.. Slowly appearing as a fog.. Confusion.. and one other feeling I couldn't put my hand around.

For some reason my chest began to feel a shocking tension. That never seemed to stop. It painfully number the chest area. Of my heart. It seemed as if My heart had been shackled back to the source that almost drowned me in sorrow. France.

I enjoyed this silence.. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths trying to keep myself from the puncturing feeling of betray. I really didn't want to talk about it..

"... *sigh*" Feeling the bed squeak and lack of presence behind me. I turned around t see England getting up and walking towards the cherry wood door from his room. I looked at him, then the bird.. I didn't know who was making me feel better.

" Get dressed. I still have some of your clothing from past years.. I'll prepare them then once your done grooming we'll talk..."

With that his broad shoulders and golden bed headed hair exited the room in silence. Hearing his footsteps grow softer down the hall ways of Britain's home.

He truly was a strange man.. But for now he's the only one I can count on. But.. My eyes drew over to the bird that currently rested in the basket. So peaceful, and soft. "Do I really want to remember it?" A smile grazed my mouth as I rubbed my finger against the soft head of the little bird. It seemed to enjoy it, extending it's head out closing it's eyes leaning in towards the source.

Was it me or was it.. Him? Who was...

"Stupide.."
