Okay people, Chapter 7 is here, and it might be a little dull. I'm sorry! I needed to make another filler chapter, because something super big is going to happen soon, I pinky promise! Forgive spelling/grammar/etc. I did a little scene with Ame, Ame/Britain is not a pairing. They simply talk well with each other. Review and enjoy!

Next chapter will be up in 2-4 days

Chapter 7: Of night skies

Japan stepped onto his dark wooden deck. The pressed wood felt cool against his bare feet. They thudded as he walked to the low railing surrounding the edge. The stars reflected in the calm water of the pond, the blackened water still. It was the color of black ink, freshly dipped and brushed on a page, stroked by a paintbrush. The countries had set up a plan, to get inside the base and attack from the inside out. The idea of attacking from the inside was suggested by Hungary, and Prussia thought it would be easiest to let the Hunters take a few people captive, then start the attack from the inside. Everyone agreed. Japan looked up at the moon, the large light glowing above Earth. It would be the same, humanity will see it everywhere, and for now, it was purely untainted.

America and Canada were laid on a blanket, spread out on soft grass. Canada pointed out star formations quietly as America thought. Everyone was in his country, to address the whole cult issue. It was horrible, and he alone couldn't be the hero. That was the worst feeling, not being able to fix something. Something that started in his country. Was it really his fault...? This whole mess...

I'm so sorry.

Feliciano looked up at the blackened night sky, full of shining white stars. His brother laid next to him on the blanket they sat on. Unusually, Lovino wasn't cussing up a storm, or calling anyone "that _(insert food here) bastard" like he did on a normal day. This whole cult was wearing everyone down. "Lovi? Are those cult people going to come and hurt us more?" He turned his head to his brother, waiting for a response.

"...I don't know." Lovino shifted his gaze to match with his little brother's. What if Feliciano was taken from him? Germany would be mad like he would be, but when a family member is taken away, it hurts more than it does when a friend is taken. When a family member is taken from another by force it leaves a deep gash, and even if the family member comes back, the wound is stitched up, but still there, and if you press on it it brings back all the pain.

"The moon is pretty, ve~?" His eyes, they were smiling on the outside, but he was worried. Lovino hated that. Feliciano was innocent.

"...Yeah. Feli, they'll be afraid to touch you."

"Why?"

"Because i'll kick their ass if they do."

Britain stood outside, on a balcony of a hotel he was staying at. It was a public balcony, though it was small and he was the only one out. He stared into the sky, trying to distract his own pain. It was hard, and he couldn't avoid it. The sliding glass door to the balcony clicked open and shut. Britain guessed it was an American staying at the same hotel. Footsteps led up to the railing where he stood, and he was surprised to see the young girl, Ame, next to him so late. She didn't turn to look at him, her gaze resting on the sky. Her hair was down, tumbling down her back in twisting gold strands. Her dress was longer, one he supposed she slept in. It looked like a lighter, simply colored fabric, very easy to fall asleep in. Finally, she spoke, very gently and calmly, "The stars are the same."

"E-excuse me?" His eyes focused on her. What a strange way to talk to someone...

"The stars, you know? The sky is the same where ever your feet land. Your brother sees the same sky you do, maybe right now he's looking up at it and thinking about you. You both are connected by the sky. Right?" She looked at him, her own eyes pained. She's thinking about her friends...How does she feel, listening to all of us countries talk about our two missing friends, while she sits quietly in the corner and she's lost them all? How does she feel, not talking about it, not having any kind words said to her about meeting up with her friends again...? Britain didn't think about that.

"R-right...Thank you...Thats an interesting point. May I ask a question...?"

"Of course! What is it?" She was smiling, her pain fading to behind her smile.

"You know about this cult...and I know you were hunted yourself. Now, you're staying with us to give us information so we can save our own friends. I suppose I just wanted to ask...How are you dealing with things?" He was terrible at talking about these things. She was pretty much a child still. He had a hard time talking to children.

She smiled still, her smile falling slightly, less energetic. "Everyone is very nice to me. I know i'm a human," His heart skipped a beat. Was she saying they weren't human? How much did she know? "and I know you are all so much more important than me, you have your own things to do. I want to help all I can. You see, my friends aren't with me now. I think I have to run away from all of you soon...I don't want them to come for me and hurt anyone here. I was talking to a few people, a man named Mr. Russia was listening to me with a lot of intrest, he made me feel nervous though, but he isn't a bad person. I like talking to you and Mr. Sweden too. You listen and talk back to me. Mr. Sweden listened a lot, but he nodded and was very sweet by telling me that when he was looking for his friends at the base, he'll look for mine too. Mr. Finland listened and talked about a lot of happy things. I like being around all of you, it makes me feel safe." She said the country names like they were just normal names. Why was she so calm and normal with this? "But I will leave soon." She giggled and then went serious, "Before that crazy stalker stares at me again with that weird laugh. He scares me, Mr. France."

Britain smiled a little, relaxing a fraction, "Me too."
