Chapter 11
The hall are almost crowded with countries representative and the higher up who was invited to the party. And yet, the three siblings have not come down yet. So, it is a job to the Baltic to welcome the guest because Yaketarina ask for their help. In case either all of them was changing their clothes and the guest coming.
"Psshh 'help'. More like become their servant again." Feliks complain.
"It can't be help. The three of them were changing their clothes plus, there's nothing we can do... for now" Toris stand at the side of the door to greet the other guest who just arrive.
"And for a awhile, my ass. It have been an hour. What are they actually doing? Sewing the clothes from scratch?" Eduard curse, loud enough for them to hear.
"It didn't shock me you don't remember how many layer you're suppose to wear in Russia especially during winter. And Feliks, we only ask you to look after Alexis" Toris remind him
"Geez, I know, I know. Being a babysitter is hard too,you know" say Feliks. Then, he take a sip of wine from his glass.
"Umm ..Feliks" Raivis speak as he look around.
"Yeah"
"Where's Alex?"
The man point to the empty chair in front of him.
"He's not there..."
The blond man spit out his drink and quickly find the boy between the crowd before his father could strangle him. While the Baltic were panic to look for Alexis, Ivan were walking down the stairs with Natalia beside him.
Alexis p.o.v
I just went to the toilet for a while and when I came back to the hall, it is almost crowded with people. Well, if I want to go back to Papa,I have to walk through the crowd. I wait for a while until I saw an opening which I could go through. Well, here goes nothing. I slip between them and walk slowly. Suddenly, someone knock me from behind and I fall to the ground. I hiss in pain when someone step on my hand immediately after I fell. Out of nowhere,someone tug my hand and embrace me.
"Watch it! You almost fall on this child!"a woman voice rang on my ear. When I look back behind, I saw a middle-age man. Very big built body. Fall on his butt. Right where the spot I fall just now. My heart beating rapidly in fear. If... If this woman didn't save me. I could've die.
"Sorry, Miss Belarus"the man apologise
"Not to me, but the child!"she spat
The man hesitantly look at me and unwillingly say his apologise. Maybe he feel shame because he need to lower his pride and ask an apologise from a kid. Then, he walk away from us before I could say anything.
"Tch, fucking arrogant"the woman curse while looking at the man angrily.
For a moment, I was mesmerize by the beauty who saved me. She looks like an angel, minus the scowl. After then, she notice that I was staring at her and I quickly look down.
"Are you okay?"the woman crouch down and pat my head.
"Umm" I nod.
"Are you sure? Your knee bleeding, plus there's a scratch on your hand and face"she insists. I blush in embarrass. She put her finger under my chin and force my face to look at her. My heart immediately stop as I look closer at my saviour.
This is the first time I have a closer look to a woman and I didn't know what to do except to stare. Truth to be say, she is... really beautiful. I wish Mama would be beautiful as her too.
"It's rude if you didn't look at the person who ask you a question, boy"
"I- I'm sorry, miss"I stutter
"Well, let me ask you again. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Ummm.. some bandage for my knees wouldn't hurt, right?"
She smile. "Alright, then let's go". She hold my figure on her hips, like a baby. While I put my arms around her neck. "Wouldn't want you to fall for the second time,hmm?". I nod and lay my head on her shoulder. So warm... like a mother embrace her child dearly.
Back to The Baltic
Toris was about to panic when he could not find Alexis, until someone pat on his shoulder.
"Yo"Alfred grin.
"Oh, Alfred. Hello" he greet back
"How is it? Did he threaten you?"he ask regarding Ivan.
"We didn't meet him yet. But, we did meet Yaketarina"
Alfred sigh in relief. Then, he look around the Lithuanian man. "Oh, where's Alex? Didn't he want to hug his awesome uncle?"
"About that.. have you seen him? Seems like we lost him among the crowd."
"WHAT?!"Alfred gasp
"I hope Russia-san didn't found him by accident" Raivis whisper.
"R- Raivis, please... Anyway, let's split up and find him"Toris begun to shake in fear.
"OH MY GOD"Alfred scream.
"Quiet dow-". "Look, Nat took Alex away"Alfred point toward the Belarussian who were walking upstairs.
"Oh dear, did Nat notice him right away?"fear written on Toris's face.
"Don't worry. Let The Hero save Alex"Alfred quickly run towards them.
"Please. And don't let Ivan find him!"Toris warn the American before he was out of his sight.
