The country looked at the unconscious girl that was resting his arms. She had begun to act odd out of nowhere and pitched forward without warning. She was now curled into a ball resting against his chest. He looked down at her, he could still see the occasional tear fall down her cheek. It hurt him inside to see the girl that he was in charge of protecting to look so vulnerable. The other four countries were crowded around him watching the girl as well, all five were supposed to protect her, but none of them could protect her from whatever it was that had attacked her mentally.
"How long has she been out Sve?" One of the smaller countries asked leaning over to brush a piece of hair from the girls face. He looked at the smaller country.
"I don't know." He said simply. The smaller country nodded and looked back at the girl, her expression had changed. The one of panic slackened to a simple look of worry. She had not said anything this time, but the last round, whatever it was truly terrified her. It had made her panic and had woken him from a dead sleep.
"No! Go away! Get away from us! Leave us alone!" She had cried out. It had startled him and three of the other countries who had been asleep.
"Tea! What's wrong?!" Finland had cried out from the seat across from her.
She didn't answer. She continued to call out for something to leave her alone and to go away. The four countries that were awake tried to wake her up. Iceland had tried but failed and had been accidently hit. Norway tried but the most he could do was restrain her arms and lay her down so she couldn't flail. Then he tried, he couldn't even get close. She was terrified and he could not get near her without her yelling for something to go away. Finally Finland had succeeded in waking her. He was knelt down near her eye level and was taking to her and shaking her gently. She didn't seem to have any memory of what she had done, or she was a good actress.
Finland and he were questioning her when she just stopped responding. It first seemed like she had a head ache, but she would not or could not respond. She looked panicked and it seemed that she couldn't hear anything. The next thing she had passed out and was falling. He had caught her and had been holding her close since.
The flight had landed. The country carried the girl off the plane and to the waiting car. He set her down and returned to retrieve the rest of the luggage. The rest of the countries were doing the same. When they all returned to the car she was still sitting where he had left her but she looked different.
Looking closer they discovered several bruises and cuts that had not been there before. Many looked like marks where people had grabbed her and would not let go. Of course it was possible that the injuries were a result of the fight she had been in earlier. But they seemed to be different like she had been attacked previously. Looking closer they discovered what looked like a concealer, in fact there was a lot of his jacket, and they looked simply old. Like they had been inflicted and allowed to heal then inflicted again. This infuriated the countries that this could happen. She would be asked about it when she woke.
"Hey, Berwald, do you think that this could have happened at that school?" Mathias asked looking at one of the bruised on her arm.
"I don't know. But if it did…" He didn't even finish the sentence. They all knew what they would do if these had happened at that school. It infuriated him when he was called about her fighting at the school, but even more when he heard her reason for the fight. He would not tolerate a lack of reason on the schools part, especially if they knew these things were happening.
"… hnn…?"
"Huh? Hey! She's waking up!"Tino said moving closed to her.
". . . W-Where…" She began and gasped, "My side!" She cried clutching her left side.
"Huh? What's wro-" Tino was cut off when he saw the large blue-black bruise that extended from the top of her ribcage to her hip.
"How—when—what happened?!" Mathias cried looking at her. She muttered something that none of the countries could hear.
"What was that?" Lukas asked starting at her.
"I said, 'I don't know'!" She yelled at him, her temper flare up made her cringe in pain. She had never been in this much pain that any of them could remember.
"Calm down. We will be at the hotel soon, so settle down." He said placing his hand on hers. Her head snapped to his hand then to his face. He could see the pain and anger written in her face, but she let her temper slip back to a moderate level. She went to lean back but cringed in pain again. Her whole face was twisted in agony. She looked at each of the countries in turn with a slight questioning look.
"You have been asleep for the better part of three hours." Emil said answering her question. She looked down, about the only place she could look without being in pain. Her eyes stayed locked on the floor for the rest of the ride in a dead silence.
