Hello guys! Welcome to Chapter 11 of Faded Scars!

Thanks for following, reviewing or adding to favorites!

Sigurd Bondevik is Norway

Trigger warning: Some really disturbing character deaths coming up.

I don't own Hetalia nor Nyotalia nor Zip a dee doo dah.

'So Bianca and Monika have adopted their kids?' Kiku asks Erika in interest.

'That's right.' Erika nods.

They were currently in the kitchen discussing Erika's brief meeting with Bianca and Monika.

'I'm glad that those kids now have a home now.' Kiku says with a smile on his face.

'I know. I strongly bless them.' Erika says happily as she smiles.

Kiku chuckles at his wife's positive attitude.

'Anyways, I'm going to prepare myself for bed.' Erika says calmly. 'Kenny's unpredictable out bursts can at any moment.'

'Alright.' Kiku says with a smile on his.

Erika went up to bathroom to brush her teeth. While brushing her teeth and washing her mouth out. She heard a.

'Ciao, bella~!'

Erika whipped around to see a man with a white mask with a smilely face on it and a faded wooden brown sweat shirt covered in blood. He hoodie was covering the rest of his face. He was holding a bloody knife in his left hand.

Erika let's out a blood curling scream in fear as she tried to resist the man by kicking him in the crouch and ran out of the bathroom only to freeze in horror a haunting sight of Kiku and Kenny's lifeless bodies lying in the middle of the living.

'KIKU! KENNY!' Erika yells hysterically as she ran to their lifeless bodies and wake them, but no arrival.

'It's a your fault, Erika.'

Erika turns with a horrified look on her face to see the masked man standing over her.

'What?' Erika asks in fear.

'You should have died along with us Erika.'

Erika's eyes widen in horror as she saw a bloody Johaan along with her parents in the same form as they've died.

'It's all your fault Erika.' Alfred, Lin, Anne, Marie and Karl came in pointing their figures at her.

'Dirty selfish brat!'

'Couldn't even save her own brother.'

Erika!

'No! No! It's not my fault!' Erika says in fear.

'Blaming a innocent man!'

'It was obviously that you've murdered your family.'

Erika!

'I would never kill anyone!' Erika says in defense, until she looked down at her night dress. It was covered in blood and a knife was in her hands.

'How could you Erika?' Kiku asks her looking at her with his lifeless eyes.

'It's all your fault, mommy!' Kenny spoke up.

'What should we say? Innocent or guilty?'

Erika, please wake up!

'Guilty!'

'No, please!' Erika says in defense.

'Death penalty should be her punishment!'

'What?' Erika eyes widen in fear.

She soon heard someone whistling 'Zip a dee doo dah'. Suddenly she felt sharp pain piercing through her stomach.

'Have a nice slow and painful death.' The white masked man says gleefully.

ERIKA!

...

Erika's eyes snapped open violently and lifted her head. Thrashing away violently.

Crying was heard somewhere.

'DON'T TOUCH ME!' Erika yells violently as she felt someone holding her.

'Erika, please calm down.' The person says as he pulls her into a firm hug. 'It's all just a nightmare.'

'Kiku?' Erika registered everything... it was a nightmare... she finds herself sobbing into Kiku's chest. 'Kiku... *sniff* ... I'm sorry...'

'What are you apologizing for?' Kiku asks in a confessed tone as soothed, though he was really in a tight spot. His wife is crying in arms, while his son wailing violently in the other. He seemed to be waken by Erika's screams and yells.

'I've had... *sniff* nightmare, but this I was blamed... for your deaths.' Erika says as she sobbed.

'Please, explain it to me.' Kiku says knowing that he's not going to like it, but find himself laughing in the middle of the story. 'I know that's it's a terrifying sight, but that's definitely not realistic.'

Erika glares at him.

'Sorry.' Kiku says as he notices that she was being serious.

'I think that I'll might drop off Kenny in Lin's place, then see a therapist.' Erika says as she holds her head.

'Are you sure?' Kiku asks her.

'Yes.' Erika says calmly.

'Alright.' Kiku says as he smiles. 'You've rarely leave Kenny's side, unless if I'm with him.'

'I know, but I refuse to loose him.' Erika says, ever since Kenny has been born. Erika refused to leave his side, unless if Kiku's watching him.

'It sounds so much, too.' Kiku says.

...

'What is this place, a babysitting service center?' Lin asks as leaded against the front door of her house, while holding a six month old Claire in her arms.

'Sorry.' Erika says uncomfortably as she holds Kenny with his baby supplies.

'Oh, Erika. I was just kidding.' Lin says as she chuckles.

'Oh, right.' Erika laughs along with her awkwardly.

'I fail at sarcasm.' Lin says uncomfortably. 'I'd love to baby sit Kenny. Claire can finally interact with someone her age.'

'Thanks, Lin. I owe you a lot.' Erika says as she hands Kenny to Lin. She explains what Kenny needs for his health.

'Bye Erika!' Lin waves at Erika.

She remembered the first time that she ever got interact with Erika.

'You've want me to go play basketball with you?' Lilli asked Lin in a confused tone.

'Yes.' Lin said as she smiles at her. 'I believe that you should interact with more people.'

'Okay...' Lilli said uncomfortably.

Lin did thought to herself. 'Though, it's summer. I really want to the girl to put on thinner clothes.' Lin looked Erika's scarf and long sleeved clothes.

'I've asked Anne about that and she seemed okay with that.' Lilli said as she smiled.

'Alright.' Lin said as she smiled.

They've made their way to the basketball court that was close by a park.

'Do you know how to shoot some hoops?' Lin asked Lilli.

'What?' Lilli asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

'Never. I mean have you ever played basketball, before?' Lin asked her.

'Yes, but I'm not the best at it.' Lilli said uncomfortably.

'There's nothing to worry about.' Lin said as she grinned as begin to bounce her ball and threw it through the net. 'We've only going to throw them into the nets. Nothing else bigger.'

'Okay.' Lilli said as she tried to bounce the ball, but seemed to fail at it and hits the gate, instead of the net when she tried to throw it.

Lin laughed awkwardly at Lilli's weak attempt into throw the ball. 'There's no need to be upset, it just takes practice, plus this is all just for fun.'

'Just for fun?' Lilli asked in a questioning tone, before confidence formed in her blue green eyes. 'Alright!'

'Please, let me show you how to through the ball.' Lin said as she explained to on how to throw the ball. While showing her the steps. 'Ready, Lilli?'

'Yes!' Lilli said with determination in her eyes. Lilli bounces the ball repeatedly trying to keep her own pace.

'Now throw it threw that net!' Lin cheered Lilli on.

Lilli raises the ball and tried throw it into the net... but only to hit the board and fall off.

'At least that you've tried and almost succeed.' Lin said as she placed her hand on Lilli's shoulder.

'PFFT! Sounds more like a epic fail!' A new voice spoke up.

The girls turned to see Alferd and Kiku walking up them. Alfred washolding a ball of his own.

'Really, Alfred?' Lin asked in annoyance.

'It's my first time actually playing basketball.' Lilli told them calmly.

'That was the most hilarious epic fail that I've saw.' Alfred said as he continued to snicker.

'Well I think that her shot was pretty well.' Kiku said to Lilli.

'It's still a epic fail to me.' Alfred said as he smiled.

'It's not that funny, Alfred.' Lin said in annoyance.

'I actually find it pretty funny, too.' Lilli said as she laughed herself.

'Mind if we can join you?' Alfred asked them. 'You guys really seem to be having lots of fun.'

'Yes, please.' Lilli said with a smile on her. 'You guys make it sound more fun.'

'Alfred, I bet that I can score more then you!' Lin said as gave him a competitive look on her face.

'Bring it on!' Alfred said as they ran off to compete against each other.

'Want to take turns shooting hoops?' Lilli asked Kiku.

'No, I'm not the best in basketball.' Kiku said calmly.

'Let's try.' Lilli said as picked up the other ball.

They've practiced on trying on their own.

Lilli made her own successful score, while Kiku failed countless.

Lin and Alfred decided to join in with them after that.

It wasn't, until Kiku tried throwing the ball, but only bounce back and hit his head. Thankfully, the ball was lighter weight.

Lin and Alfred couldn't stop laughing at that sight.

'Are you okay, Kiku?' Lin asked as she laughed.

'Yes.' Kiku said as he smiled slightly, then noticed something. 'Lilli are you okay?'

Lilli wobbled a bit then fainted.

'LILLI!'

Lin didn't remember anything else, but the fact that Kiku carried the unconscious girl home. She fainted to the heat in her warm clothing. Thankfully, she was okay.

'I've never knew that she had such a deep and troubled past.' Lin says as she felt tears pouring out of her eyes.

'Mommy!' Nathan calls out. 'Claire needs a diaper change.'

'Okay, coming Sweetie.' Lin calls out as she ran in with Kenny in her arms.

...

'Welcome back, Mrs. Erika.' A man with short wavy pale blond hair, he had a hair curl sticking out of the back of his head, a cross shaped hair clip keeping out of his bangs and dark ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a long white coat. He was Sigurd Bondevik, Erika's therapist.

'Hello, Mr. Bondevik.' Erika kindly greets him.

'I've haven't seen you in a while.' Sigurd says as he notices the exhausted look on her face.

'I've been having it bad.' Erika says with a weak smile.

'Would like to talk about it?' Sigurd asks her.

'Yes, please.' Erika says in a pleading tone.

'Okay, please wait here.' Sigurd says as he gestures to the couch.

Erika took a seat on the couch calmly.

'Hello, I'm Diego!'

Flashback mode now activated!

15 year old Erika hid behind her father uncomfortably.

Erika was in her hiking clothes that consists of a pink jacket and dark brown hiking pants. She and her were planning to on a hike with her father. Half way through, they meet up with a man.

Her father, Franz, was talking to a young man with messy dark brown hair, a messy beard that was slowly growing, dark green eyes and olive skin. He was holding a huge bag on his back. He was wearing dark brown and green clothes. He looked pretty young, around 18 years old.

'Diego! It's so nice to see you.' Franz greeted him.

'Mr. Vogel it's so great to see you, too!' He said in a cheerful, friendly and upbeat voice.

'You know him?' Erika asked her father.

'Why, yes he's a friend of mine in college.' Franz said as he introduced her to Diego. 'This my daughter, Erika.'

'Nice to meet you, pretty lady~' He greeted her happily.

'Nice to meet you, too.' Erika said uncomfortably. Not trusting this man.

'Those are pretty braids for a pretty lady.' Diego said as he stroke her braids affectionately. 'My little sister loves wearing them.'

'Thanks.' Erika said uncomfortably.

'Want to join us on our hike?' Franz asked Diego.

'Why, I'd love too.' Diego said cheerfully.

Erika didn't say anything on the whole hiking trip. Normally she would enjoy new people's company, but this time. This feels completely different.

They've made their way back to their cabin.

'I've wonder where the Rangers are.' Erika said to herself.

They've entered her family's private cabin. It small kitchen in it and couch with a fireplace in front of it and spiral stairs that leads to a loft. That's where Erika and her family sleeps in.

'Welcome back, honey.' Josepha greeted her husband and daughter as they returned from their hike. 'Who's this?'

'I'm Diego! A dear old friend of your husband.' He smiled as he introduced himself.

The adults talked together, while Erika retreated into the loft where Johaan is in.

'Who's the random man?' Johaan asked her.

'I don't know, but I don't like him for some reason.' Erika said calmly as she puts herself in deep thought.

'That's new. You're never were afraid of talking to anyone.' Johaan said.

'True.' Erika said.

'Kids! Diego's going make us something.' Franz said happily.

'Wait, they're really going to this guy to make dinner for us?' Johaan asked in a dumbfounded tone.

'I guess so.' Erika as she did admit that she was pretty hungry.

The twins made their way the stairs and took a seat on the table

'Eat up!' Diego said happily as served them cheerfully.

Erika wasn't sure what to say. She silently ate the food fearfully. It wasn't bad she continues to eat it, but she soon felt tired.

Flashback mode now off!

'Mrs. Erika.' Sigurd says as he pulled her out of her deep thoughts. 'My offices ready for you.'

'Okay.' Erika says as she followed him in his office.

Sigurd's room was a lavender and dark brown theme. There was a couch the middle of the room.

'Take a seat, Mrs. Erika.' Sigurd tells her.

'Okay.' Erika did as told and laid onto the couch.

'What you remember on that very day?' Sigurd asks her.

'That very moment when I woke up and I was tied up on the floor along with rest of my family.' Erika says as she felt a bone chilling shiver down her spine.

Flashback mode now activated!

Erika stirred as she heard voices.

'You're... you are not Diego!' Her father said in shock.

Erika woke up to see her father family, including herself, tied up. Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet together. Her brother was next to her, while their parents were tied up in front of them.

'Diego' was in the kitchen. He was humming Dip A Dee doo dah himself. She noticed that there was something on the ground. A wig!

Erika noticed that one of his bags were on the floor it was full knifes! There were many different kinds of sharp objects on the ground.

The man stepped out of the kitchen. He was wearing a white mask with a smiley face on it with brown hoodie covering his head.

Erika watched in horror as she watched him approached her father.

'What are you doing?' Franz asked in anger.

Erika and Johaan's widen in horror and fear when they saw. Their father scream and gurgle in agony.

Josepha soon kicked something to Johaan.

It was a small knife. Johaan knew what to do and started to cut Erika's legs loose.

Josepha tried to distract the killer by kicking him. 'YOU FUCKING HORRIBLE SCUM BAG! I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO FRANZ!'

The man seemed really anger now. He grabbed a knife from his bag and starting stabbing Josepha everywhere on her body. She didn't scream as she gave her kids a look to continue.

Johaan managed to cut Erika's feet lose. 'Run!'

Erika wasn't sure to run, but her twin brother told her to.

She bolted out of cabin as fast as she could. She heard Johaan letting a ear pricing scream in agony.

Erika had no clue where to run as she found herself unable to run through the forest. Her wrists were still tied behind her back. Everything was just... why isn't this just a dream?

She silently hid behind a tree fearfully. She heard foot steps coming up.

'Ciao bella ~!' As the masked popped in front of her.

Erika's eyes widen in horror as he stabbed her in her lower left thigh. She let out a blood curling scream in agony that echoed in the forest. She felted the masked man slung her over his shoulder.

He whistled the zip a dee doo dah song.

Erika whimpered and cried, because she's just your average helpless teenager that witnessed a horrifying sight of her parents being tortured before her eyes.

Her captor carried her into the loft. He tossed her onto the bed and pinned her there. He brought out a syringe needle and injected something her body. Erika can't move at all.

He untied her hands, then tied them to the bed post.

The masked killer soon disappeared and then came back with Johaan and his bag.

He tied Johaan, whom is still alive and his figures were bended in odd angles, to a hanger.

Johaan looked completely powerless and weak.

The masked man so resume his attention to Erika. He brought out a cigarette and lit it.

Erika watched in horror as what he had in plan. Without any warning he jabbed his burning cigarette onto Erika's arm.

Erika screamed in agony. He continued to burned her arms.

'STOP IT YOU BASTARD!' Johaan yelled at the top of his lungs.

The masked killer soon turned his attention to Johaan again. This time he grabbed one of his knifes. He approached Johaan like a lion would do with his prey.

Erika watched in horror as he raised his knife began jab it into his...

She turned away as she heard her younger twin brother scream in agony. She refused to turn her head, until her captor forced her to turn her head and look at the horrifying sight. Watching him cried in pain and fear.

The masked man digs into his bag as he once again whistled Zip a dee doo dah, as he brought out a pair of metal forceps, then resume his attention to Johaan. He forced Johaan's mouth open place it on one of Johaan's teeth.

Erika watched with horrified look on her face as she watched her younger brother scream and bleed. She could feel his pain.

Johaan's cries were now hard to distinguish.

The masked man wasn't done with his torture on Johaan. He brought out a butcher knife and the next thing made Erika sick to her stomach.

Her brother was slaughtered like a cattle.

Erika stares at Johaan's lifeless body hanging limply under the hunger swinging gently.

She just wanted to throw up and cry in a corner. This was definitely not a dream... it was a nightmare that came out of nowhere and will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Erika tensed in horror as she felt her family's killer crawl on top of the bed and lying on top her. She nothing but little trapped mouse under him and completely powerless to stop him. She could slightly see his eyes through the mask. He looked like that he has enjoyed her being miserable, weak and vulnerable to his power.

He played with one of her braids as he whispered some language that she was couldn't identify. Her burns and stab wound stung horribly. Erika noticed the man was moving his mask up slightly exposing his mouth. He leaned on her and kissed her, forcefully. She felt his tongue slipping into her mouth and tasting her.

Erika felt completely disgusted with herself. He killed her family before her eyes and is forcefully kissing her against her will... it was her first kiss that was stolen. She's now horrified on what he could do her next.

He pulled away from her allowing her spit out his kiss. She froze when he took out took a new knife that was slightly cleaner.

He took her braid, then said. 'I really like you Erika.' His voice sounded deep and maliciously sweet. 'But, I can't keep you alive for long. Though, I'd like to something from you as a little souvenir.'

Erika eyes widen in horror as he started cutting her braid off with a knife. It felt like he was curving her heart out as he done that. After a few minutes, her braid was successful cutted off.

'Now that's done...' He said gleefully took her braid. 'It's time to eliminate you.'

Erika's eyes widen in horror as he place the knife on her throat.

'Nighty night~' The masked man said as he slit her throat open.

Erika felt her throat sting painfully. She didn't say anything and closed her eyes. Hoping to join her parents in heaven and Jesus will greet her with open arms. She listens to her killer's movements as he seemed do some activity around her family's cabin. It wasn't until twenty minutes later, she finally heard the door shut. Expecting herself to die alone surrendered by her dead family.

Flashback mode now off!

'I wasn't sure if he purposely missed my arteries, but I didn't die.' Erika says as she cried.

'It's amazing that you did.' Sigurd tells her calmly.

'Though, I wouldn't have survived if it weren't for those two men that found me.' Erika says as she smiled weakly.

'What was it like facing him court?' Sigurd asks her.

'It... I can't explain it... my friends, family and his other victim's family supported me and stood by my side.' Erika explains as she smiles weakly at that memory.

'Please, remember Mrs Erika. If you haven't ever survived, he would have continued getting away with killing many innocent people.' Sigurd tells her calmly.

'I know. I'm remaining strong, because of that.' Erika says as she managed to smile. Now forgetting her nightmare. 'My past may never leave me. I'll never let it leave me, even if it does haunt my mind.'

'That's woman I like to see.' Sigurd says as he smiles at her.

'Thanks, Dr. Bondevik.' Erika says with a smile on her. 'I think that I've have to leave now. My son won't be happy without me for long.'

'Alight, take care.' Sigurd tells her.

'I will.' Erika says as she smiles, then leaves.

That's it for this chapter of Faded Scars!

What do you think?

Erika's nightmare does sound a lot like something from a B rated horror movie bland acting and unrealistic stunts, but hey it's a nightmare.

I'm working on Kiku and Erika's relationship more.

We get to see Lin wanted to bond with Erika/Lilli in their teenage hood, by goofing off by playing basketball. Remember Lin's apart of the Dickinson High school girls basketball team. So don't be surprised by that.

Alfred was also giving Lilli/Erika a small message that just because she's a surviving victim of a serial killer and lost her own family doesn't mean that he'll treat her any differently. Which was something the Erika/Lilli would want.

Also, Erika and her family weren't the only people that were in the forest. There were also rangers as well... but Erika's family weren't the only victims of the masked killer's new hot spot. Which a forest away from civilization is a perfect place to make people disappear without friends noticing that less then 24 hours.

I'm trying to keep this fanfic T rated as possible. If this were a movie. The screen would be showing the character's reactions to the murder and you'll be hearing the screaming.

There's actually a Diego that Erika's parents know, but he'll not appear, because it's impossible for framing him since Erika already knows that he's someone that disguised himself. Also, b the masked killer also seems to know about Erika's family... that means that they weren't just randomly selected victims of the week.

I'm using one my favorite Disney Toon's Zip a dee doo dah as the killer's personal favorite song to hum or whistle while killing his victims. Cause it's makes it sound disturbing and you'll may never want to the song ever again for something like that.

When someone forcefully cuts your hair and don't want it to be cut. It would actually be traumatizing. Heck it's twice as traumatizing for the person cutting your after, manipulating your family into thinking that they're someone they know and like, brutally killing them right in front of your very own eyes and and forced a kiss on you after that was all done. I'd be traumatized, too.

Believe it or not, but you can survive a slit throat. As long as your major organs are harmed. Just look up the amounts of people that survived a slit throat.

The flashback on how Erika's family died was also a bit of a time skip. That's how we see act as that positive thinking she is in the end of the chapter.

For the mentioned gentlemen that found Erika and save her will appear another time of the story.

For now most of the flashbacks are mostly revolving around Erika/Lilli's new life, while developing relationships with her new friends.

Please, read and review!
