A/N: This is one of my bolder Chapters. You can see the line i made and i was angry AND stressed out when i was writing this :3
It's been nearly ten years… I am happy now, and I can sleep easily now that I have a home with my parents. Sweden and Finland both love me so much, and so does Peter, be he had to go back home… I knew what mum and dad would do after I went to sleep if there was a tense situation or anything like that. My new life as a nation was going perfectly. I was able to do things that as a human, I could have never done.
I yawned and sat up. It was so bright, but it nearly always was during White Night, but I didn't think it was the right time of year. I could hear something coming from the kitchen. I got up and opened my bedroom door.
"Ugh, it's so cold!" I muttered. I rubbed my arms and continued to walk. I reached the door way and froze. I got a bad feeling suddenly and I could hear a strange sound. I had never heard it before, but maybe once, but I wasn't sure. I opened the door and saw dad sitting at the table with a paper in front of him.
"Dad? What's wrong?" I asked rubbing my eyes. He looked up his eyes were puffy and red. He had been crying for a while, he still was crying.
"What happened? Where are mum and Hanatamago?" I asked looking around the kitchen for some answers. I was worried. If this was a joke, it wasn't funny! He stood up and walked over to me.
"Thea…" He began kneeling to my eye level. "Your mum has been taken by Russia." He said trying not to cry again.
"N- No… no, that, that isn't possible… Russia, he wouldn't do that… would he?" I was crying now. Dad grabbed me and kept me in a hug. I continued to cry and deny what he had told me. Russia… he wouldn't do that. He was so nice… how could he do that?
"Thea, you are going to live with Denmark and Norway for a while." Dad said to me. I tensed up.
"N-NO!" I cried pushing him away from me.
"Thea…"
"I WON'T LEAVE! I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LEFT ALONE TOO MANY TIMES! I AM NOT LEAVING YOU HERE ALONE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I AM NOT GOING, I DON'T CARE IF RUSSIA COMES HERE AND TRYS TO TAKE ME FROM YOU! I'LL FIGHT HIM! I WILL SCRATCH HIM UNTIL HE LETS ME AND MUM GO! BUT I WON'T LEAVE YOU! I can't… I love you too much dad…" I cried. I was yelling at him and stomping my foot. I was so upset. My tears were streaming down my face. He looked at me in shock. Then his expression softened.
"Thea… if you don't want to go, I won't make you. But I don't want you to get hurt. If something happens, promise me that you will run to Den and Nor's place, and not come back for me." He said grasping my shoulders. I nodded trying to hold back another torrent of tears. He sighed and hugged me. I hugged him back, dad was so upset, and he didn't want me to get hurt. The entire day passed in the tense state. When I came time for bed, I peered into his room. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked so sad.
"Dad?" I asked knocking on the half open door. He jumped and turned towards me.
"Mm? Thea, I thought you were in bed…"
"I couldn't sleep. It looks like you can't either. Can I sleep in here tonight?" I asked standing in the door way. He froze for a moment, but he nodded. I walked over and climbed in the bed. I hated being so short. He pulled the blanked up and pulled me close to him.
"I don't want you to get cold." He said putting one of his hands in my hair. I nodded and pressed my face into his chest. I could hear his heart beat in a sad rhythm. I think he was still awake when I fell asleep. I awoke to people talking. It sounded like mum's voice. I opened my eyes a little. Dad was not in bed. I sat up and saw him with another person. It looked like mum, but he was… different. Dad wouldn't have lied to me… no this was different. I looked closed in the dimness. There was a gruesome wound where his heart would have been. It looked like his heart had been torn out. I gasped. This brought both of their attention to me. I pulled the blanked up closer to my face. This thing… it scared me. Dad got in between it and me. He said something, but I couldn't hear. The next thing I heard was a pounding on the door.
"Thea! RUN!" Dad yelled at me. I looked at him, he was restraining the thing. I got up and bolted to the window. I opened it and jumped out. I began to run. I ran and ran. At first I could hear something following me, but I lost it. I finally made to Denmark's and Norway's place. I began to beat on the door. I could hear the thing behind me, calling my name with mum's voice. I began to yell.
"Denmark! Norway! Please let me in!" I continued to beat on the door. They never came. I ran to the tree in the yard and climbed it. The thing couldn't follow me up there. It circled the tree and waited. I was getting cold. It was freezing. The sun began to rise and it disappeared. I climbed down and stumbled to the door. Hit the door a few times and collapsed as it was opened.
"T-Tea! What are you doing here?!"
"Bring her in. She must have been outside all night!" I could barely hear after that. I was so cold…
I woke in Den and Nor's parlor. I had a cold compress on my head.
"Ah, Tea, you're awake! You've been out for a few days." Denmark said. A few days…? I gasped and shot up.
"Dad! He—" I gave way to a fit of coughing. It was such an intense and violent outburst that left me gasping for air.
"Take it easy! You have a bad cold from being outside that whole night. You need rest." Norway said walking in with three bowls of something steaming. It smelled good.
"You must be hungry. Here, it is only broth, but you need something." Nor said handing me the bowl and spoon. I ate nearly all of it. It was very good. I held the bowl in my hands for a while, just staring at it.
"I am sorry, if this inconvenienced you." I said never looking up.
"Tea… It's not an inconvenience at all. But, how long were you out there? What happened?"
"Hmm, well, mum was taken my Russia, and that night, this… thing, appeared. It looked like mum, but it acted different and had a gaping hole where the heart should have been. Not long after there was pounding on the door and dad told me to run here. I was followed by that thing, and I made it to the door and was pounding on it… but I guess you couldn't hear me. It came after me and I climbed the tree. I stayed there until morning when it disappeared. Then I knocked on the door again and I remember you two talking, and then… waking up." I said recounting what I remembered. They were both shocked by my account. Denmark stood up, nearly dropping the bowl onto the floor.
"Where are you going Den?"
"Nor, you stay here with Tea. I'm going to see what happened." He said grabbing his coat. I began to say something but wound up coughing again. Norway grabbed the bowl and stood by me until it subsided. I sat there, panting. This stupid cold was going to be the death of me…
"Tea? Are you alright?" Norway asked, I didn't notice that he was kneeling beside me.
"Ah!? Oh… um… I think so… I guess I'm just worried… I hope that nothing bad has happened." I muttered. Norway stared at me. His eyes were so dull, almost lifeless. Somehow, it made me fell even worse… I always thought that Norway looked like he was in pain… until about a month ago I never knew what until mum was teaching me about the entire history of the Nordics. Now that I know it is so no one knows what he is feeling… it upset me to look into his eyes. To my shock he reached over and gave me a hug. I froze for a moment before hugging him back. For being such a terrifying looking guy, he was very sweet.
"It will be alright. I'm sure that Denmark will comeback with Sweden." He said placing his hand on my forehead.
"Hm… you still have a pretty bad fever. You should go back to sleep. I will wake you up when Denmark comes back." He said to me replacing the compress. I nodded and lay back down on the sofa. The fire kept the room so warm and I was exhausted for some reason…
"Are you sure? That doesn't seem possible…"
"I'm sure. There wasn't anything in that house that was alive. He had to have been taken. I can't think of anything else."
"What do we do about Tea? She can't go back there alone."
"How about we take care of her? She's already here. I can go back and get her some clothes."
"Maybe. She is going to be devastated… I won't wake her yet… she needs as much rest as possible and if we worry her like this… she could get worse."
"Yea. I'll be back in an hour or so."
"Alright."
"Hng… a- am I… still at Den and Nor's place?" I muttered. It was late. I looked at the clock, it was so late. I yawned.
"Tea… Tea… won't you come back with us to Russia's house?" I heard someone whisper. I looked up. That thing was there. But it wasn't alone. Another one was with it. It looked like dad… it had the same wound too. I looked at them in horror. I could feel tears in my eyes. I screamed. I heard the thud as Denmark and Norway were running down the stairs.
"Tea! Are you—what the hell!?" Denmark yelled. I was cowering in the corner of the couch with my head covered. I could hear everything. I knew that Norway was about to summon something and that Denmark was about to attack. I whimpered when I felt one of them touch me. I continued to as the fight continued. Eventually it stopped, but I was still cowering. I yelped when someone touched me.
"Tea! Tea! It's alright! It's just us. Denmark and Norway." I looked up at them. I lunged forward and grabbed them both. I was terrified.
"What was that?" I sobbed in to Denmark's shoulder. I could feel one of them stroke my hair.
"Don't worry. Tomorrow, we will be waiting for them." I nodded and looked down.
"What's this?" I asked picking up a small glass tube with a note in it.
"I think it fell out of one of them where their hearts would have been." I opened and read the note.
"Oh…! This is…!" I started. They read it and looked at each other. If they came back we all knew what would be done…
I was moved upstairs the next day. I had a fit while moving, but I made it. I felt safer for some reason, but I really wanted my mum and dad. Not that I had anything against Den and Nor… but… I really wanted my parents. That night, Denmark and Norway stayed in the parlor so they could grab the things when they showed up I couldn't sleep because of my fever. It had spiked so drastically that I was beginning to have hallucinations. At one point I looked around the room because I thought I heard Hanatamago bark. It was not long before those things showed up, but they must have been stronger this time because I heard Den and Nor yelling, then it became silent. I thought that they had beaten those things, but I was wrong. My door knob turned and those things entered the room. Denmark had given me a knife in case they got past him and Norway. I grabbed the handle under my pillow.
"Tea, won't you come to Mr. Russia's house? I'm sure Natali will want to see you."
"Shut up! I know you are not real! I don't know if it is because I am sick or because I miss my parents so much, but I want you to just shut the hell up!" I cried shrinking away from them.
"But we are real Thea. Why do you speak to us in such a way? We have only ever spoken kindly to you."
"Just leave me alone! I don't care! I want my real parents back Russia! Do you hear me!? You vodka guzzling asshole! I hope your innards rot for this!" I yelled to them. I knew it was pointless, but if he could hear me, then I made sure he knew I was infuriated.
"That is no way to talk about Mr. Russia Thea!" One of the yelled at me and slapped me across the face. I was sent sprawling to the floor. The knife slid across the floor as well, far beyond my reach.
"Oh, Tea, you should not play with such dangerous weapons." It said picking up the knife and tossing it out the door. I was trying to stand up but the strain gave me a fit. I was on the ground coughing and unable to catch my breath.
"Now, how on Earth did you get sick?"
"Screw you." I managed to get you between breaths. Their faces dropped.
"If you won't come willingly, then we will take you by force."
"No! You can't take me there! No, please!" I scrambled to the corner. They were approaching me. I could see the malice reflected in their eyes. I began to cry.
"Why are you doing this!? I never did anything but love the both of you! Now I don't even recognize either of you! Even if this is one of Russia's spells, I—I—I just want my parents back!" I yelled looking at them through the tears that were threatening to close my throat. They paused in their advance and disappeared. I sat for a moment in shock. Then I fell over sobbing.
"Tea! Are you alright?" Denmark asked kneeling beside me. I was still bawling, the sort that sounds more like anguished screams than crying. I felt a cool hand on my head.
"She still has a high fever. We should get her back to the bed." Norway said his hand still on my forehead. One of them picked me up and carried me to the bed. I was not crying as hard but I was still crying.
"Oh, Tea… please stop crying. You'll make yourself worse." Denmark said sitting on the bed next to me. I buried my face in the pillow and kept crying.
"She is quite the fighter. You have both raised her very well." Russia said watching Tea scream at his puppets. Finland and Sweden both remained quiet.
"Does she always use this kind of language? You should teach her not to disrespect her elders." He said when she was insulting Russia. Finland looked down at the floor. Tea is so sick. Why is Russia doing this to her?
"I wonder if you two will say something if I bring her here." Russia said turning to the two nations who looked up in alarm. Russia laughed.
"Who knows, she might make a good Russian girl." He said taunting the nations. He walked over to two cages hanging just out of reach for the other two nations. He tapped one of the things in the cage and Finland doubled over in pain.
"Fin!" Sweden yelled watching the nation fall over in agony.
"Russia… please, give us back our hearts…" Finland struggled to get out.
"Hm? Why? If I do then I can't send my puppets to torment your daughter." He said simply. The other two nations looked at the wall where Russia had cast the image of what was going on with the puppets.
Sweden's puppet had back handed her across the room.
"Oh, Tea, you should not play with such dangerous weapons." Finland's puppet said, throwing a knife out of the open bedroom door.
"Now, how on Earth did you get sick?" It continued taking a step over to Tea who was having a coughing fit.
"Screw you." She gasped between breaths.
"If you won't come willingly, then we will take you by force." Sweden's puppet said taking a malicious step towards her.
"No! You can't take me there! No, please!" She cried scrambling to the corner of the room and cowering there. They continued to approach her. It looked like something finally snapped in her.
"Why are you doing this!? I never did anything but love the both of you! Now I don't even recognize either of you! Even if this is one of Russia's spells, I—I—I just want my parents back!" She screamed at the two puppets.
Russia stopped the puppets and made them disappear.
"What a silly girl. To try and appeal to puppets. She must be really hopeless." He said walking out of the room. Finland and Sweden continued to watch the image. Denmark and Norway ran in. Denmark had knelt at her side. She was uttering the worst anguished sobs. It hurt both nations to hear them, and not be able to do anything about it. Norway placed a hand on her head and said something. Denmark nodded and took Tea to the bed and lied her down in the middle of it. Both he and Norway were lying on either side of her both attempting to comfort her, but she continued to cry. Neither nation could watch any longer.
"What can we do? She is in so much pain. And she probably hates us." Finland murmured pulling his knees up to his chest.
"I don't know. She should not have to live like this. Fin, I'm sorry." Sweden said casting a quick glance at the image. She is still crying… I wish I were there…
"Why are you apologizing Sve? You were protecting her. I can't hold that to you. Russia captured you in a moment of weakness, and he knows it."
"I should have kept her safe. If I had told her that the apparitions were…"
"It would not have made a difference. Russia would have captured you both then. I'm just glad that she is relatively safe with Denmark and Norway." Finland said re-adjusting himself. They both sat in silence and wondered the same thing,
Will she be okay after this is all over?
It's been over a year. I have had to protect myself and learn all sorts of things thanks to Russia's fucking mind games. I was angry. I had to alter my appearance for the World Meeting. I now looked about nineteen. I was sitting with Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. I was emitting one of the darkest Come near me and I will rip your #$ *^% head off and use it as a soccer ball auras. Russia sat across from me and it darkened to the point that everyone around me scooted three seats down.
"Hello Tea! How are you? You should visit soon. Natali has wanted to see you!" Russia said in a friendly voice. It just pissed me off even more.
"You have nerve." I said. My voice had the same tone to it.
"Oh? How so?" He said. He was baiting me.
"Tell me where Sweden and Finland are." I said through gritted teeth.
"I can't do that! It would ruin our fun game!" He said with a, you will never find out so deal with it smiles.
"Game!? What kind of sick twisted game are you playing!?" I yelled flipping the table over. All of the nations stared at us. I was standing with my fist balled. He was still sitting there with a smile on his face.
"You have quite a temper. Don't you see everyone staring?"
"Like I care. Now tell me!" I yelled grabbing him by the collar, and slamming him to the wall behind him.
"Where are Finland and Sweden, you son of a bitch!" I yelled again. Germany walked up behind me.
"Tea, I think you need to calm down…" He said nervously. I shot him a look and he paled. I took one of my balled fists and ran it through the wall almost to my shoulder. I pulled it out and released Russia. I walked out of the conference room and out the entrance. I found a tree and climbed it. I didn't care if I got dirty.
Damn Russia. He was mocking me. I should have punched him in the face. I thought absently rubbing my knuckles. Damn… that hurt more than I thought it would. I should have thought before I did… I wish that mum and dad were here though. I still haven't gotten back at Russia. He has caused me so much pain and humiliation… it's time he got some back… but I can't get near him now…
"Fuck…" I muttered punching the tree. I fell asleep in it, thinking about how much I hated Russia.
"You have a strong girl there." Russia said showing them the bruise that Tea had left when she attacked him.
"She doesn't like you and you were pissing her off." Finland said looking at the window.
"Hm. Then would she care if I did this?" He asked jarring each of the cages. Both nations fell over in agony.
"Any way, I didn't see her on my way home. I guess she was already home—!" Russia was cut off by a rock that had flew through the window. It was followed by a person that neither of them recognized dressed entirely in black and carrying a large rifle and a sword.
"Who are you? How dare you attack me." Russia said grabbing his water pipe. The person drew the sword and stood at the ready.
Norway? No the eyes are too dark, but they have the same dead expression. Both Finland and Sweden thought. They watched the fight until the person threw Russia into a chair and impaled him with the sword. They grabbed the key ring and threw it to the two nations. Then they pulled out the sword and jumped back out of the window. Both Finland and Sweden freed themselves and got their hearts out of the cages. They turned and left without a word to Russia.
"Tea? Are you in here?" Denmark asked opening the door. She was sitting on the bed with her back to him.
"What is it Denmark?" She asked with no tone.
"Finland and Sweden are here." He said. She had become so cold towards everything in the past year. He knew it was not because of him and Norway, but because of Russia. It still hut them that she was so cold. She stood up and walked towards the door. Her eyes… they look even deader than Nor's. Is it because of what has happened? He let her through and followed her down the stairs. He noticed that right at the door she put on a smile. He knew it was fake, but she did also let the light back into her eyes, he knew that she didn't want Finland and Sweden to know what she was so hurt.
"Tea! I'm so happy to see you again!" Finland said wrapping the girl in a hug, Sweden followed suit on her other side. She was pressed between the two nations. Her eyes had a dull sparkle to them. Denmark could see the tears well in her eyes. He could see that she was happy, but there was something wrong. She had a look about her movement; he noticed as she had walked to the parlor, something was wrong.
"I think it is time for us all to go home. Go pack your things Thea." Sweden told her. She nodded and walked back to the stairs.
"She's changed quite a bit." Finland said after she had left the room.
"She had to. I don't think she could have handled the pressure from both of your bosses otherwise." Norway said walking to the fireplace.
"Our bosses? What did they want?" Sweden asked looking towards him.
"I don't know, but nearly every time she came home from one of the meetings she was dead tired and on the verge of tears. Then those shadow puppets adding on to the whole thing I'm amazed the poor girl is not sleep deprived." Norway said passing his hand over a carved stone.
"Hmm. You keep going back to that stone. Do you mind me asking what it is?" Finland noted watching for a reaction.
"Actually it's two stones. Tea made them as birthday presents for us. They look odd apart but put together like that and they for a whole stone with an inscription that is repeated in several languages." Denmark said jumping in. Finland just nodded. It must have hurt them to be away from their daughter for so long. Denmark knew that he would miss her. There was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'll get it Nor!" Denmark called. He found a shivering Lithuania at the door.
"Lithuania! Come in." Denmark said in surprise.
"What brings you here?" He continued after the nation was inside.
"Well, Mr. Russia has fallen terribly ill and I was wondering if anyone here had a clue as to what's ailing him, well, other than the stab wound." He said looking around nervously. No one but Denmark noticed Tea standing on the stair, until she spoke sharp and harsh words that no one thought she was capable of.
"Who cares? Maybe this is his punishment for ripping people's hearts out. If I were you and the others I would high tail it away before he gets well." She said darkly. She eyes had the same angry fire they had at the meeting.
"Tea! How can you say that?" Finland asked her. Her fury turned to him.
"How can you vouch for him!? He took both of you and ripped out you hearts! I don't see how either of you can still-!" She stopped and composed herself.
"Excuse me." She said stepping outside.
I went to my country. I needed somewhere I could collect my thoughts. I had a home there that I now used. It was small and was just the right size for one or two people. I sat in my living room, the fire was warm and I had a book with me. My mind kept going back to how hurt mum had looked when I yelled at him. I watched the flames.
"S-So what if Russia's sick now… He deserved it. His little game had gone too far. I hate him." I muttered putting my face in my hands.
"Is that so? You really hate me that much?" I heard. I gasped and looked up. Russia was standing right in front of me.
"Sh—!" He grabbed me by the throat.
"You know, I have always like this port~! It has such a beautiful climate. It is perfect for growing sunflowers in the summer. I think I will take it." He said looking around my home.
"This will make a nice vacation house. Now come with me. We have preparations to make." He said like we were buddies.
"Screw you Russia. I'm not going anywhere and you can't have my port!" I yelled at him. His face got a glimmer of evil in it.
"Then I am going to have to give you a reason to give it to me." He said producing a knife.
"What are you—!" He shoved it into my chest. I held back a scream as he carved a hole and took my heart out.
"You may have just gotten Finland and Sweden back, but now I have you! And that is what I have been after for decades~!" I gasped and fell to my knees. My… heart… Russia… you bastard!
"G-Give it back!" I snapped at him. He only smiled and squeezed it. I yelled and writhed in agony.
"You will be fun to play with Tea~! For now, let's go home." He said beckoning me to follow him. I had no choice. I grabbed a small jacket and followed him to his home where I was immediately chained up.
"I wonder if Tea will be at the meeting…" Finland muttered tying his tie.
"Should be. She needs space, so don't go trying to smother her Fin." Sweden said putting on his jacket. Finland nodded and put on his own jacket before leaving the room. The ride to the meeting was unusually quiet. But it was even worse when they got there.
"Is that Tea, with Russia?" Denmark asked in shock. Everyone looked; she was standing next to him in a light blue dress with a black jacket. She looked on the verge of tears and she did not look up or anywhere else unless Russia spoke to her. When the meeting started she took a seat with the Baltics, instead of with the Nordics.
When break came she hurried to the rest room and stayed there. Finland had wanted to speak to her but he was unable to enter the ladies room. He noticed that Belarus entered and managed to pull her out. It looked like she had been crying and that she had done a hasty touch up so it was not as noticeable. The routine was repeated for every break and without fail. After the last break, both Tea and Russia came back slightly late. Everyone's attention was drawn to them not because they were late, but because Tea's hair had gone from the over flowing length to boyishly short. She looked as though she had been crying, no doubt because her hair had been cut off, and Russia had three long scratches running down his neck.
"Russia!" Sweden bellowed after the meeting. He turned on his heel and grabbed Tea's arm. She was halted and she just stood there.
"How are you Sweden? You seem to have a better look about you." He said mockingly.
"You have my daughter. Let her go." Sweden demanded. Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland were all trying to calm the Swede down but it was no use. He was fired up.
"Oh? Her? Well, I can't do that. You see, I finally have the one thing that I have always wanted and I will keep it until it is no longer beautiful." He said pulling on Tea's arm she whimpered as he roughly turned her around and held her in front of himself like a shield, knowing that the Swede wouldn't hit his daughter.
"She is not something to be captured! You can't use her as you will!"
"But I can. You see, I don't take kindly to those who stab me. Tell them, how you managed to do those terrible things." He said running a hand down the girls neck. She shuddered from the contact.
"I did stab you. I wanted my parents back! You were pissing me off anyway!" She yelled at him over her shoulder. Russia laughed darkly.
"I will tell you what, for five minutes, you may have her back. But after that, she will live at my home until she becomes useless to me." He said pushing Tea forward. She stumbled into Sweden.
"Thea!" He cried grabbing her. She winced in pain.
"D-Dad...! D-Don't squeeze!" She struggled to get out. He let go and she staggered backwards a step clutching her chest on the left side.
"T-Tea? Are you…!" Finland began reaching for her. She swatted him away. She held the jacket closed even more than she was already.
"Thea, what's wrong?" Sweden asked pulling her closer to him. She shook her head and tried to get away, but he held her firm. He could see something discolored on her dress.
"What—!" His eyes widened as did Finland's.
"Russia! You took her heart!?" Russia only smiled.
"I have to have some way to control her. You Nordics are so strong willed…" He said with a sigh. Sweden could feel Finland shaking next to him. He was enraged, and Sweden was in shock. Tea just stood there. Her eyes down cast and she was not moving. If they didn't know any better, one would think she was a doll.
"Tea, look at me." Norway said pushing Finland behind him. She did so and staring back at him were two of the deadest eyes that any of them had ever seen. They were even more expressionless than Norway's.
"What has he done to you, little sister?" Norway whispered grasping her shoulders. She just looked over his shoulder at Denmark and Iceland, neither of which would look her in the face.
"Time is up! Tea be a good nation and come here." Russia said. She backed away from the Nordics and looked back down.
"That is one thing that you should be proud of. Her people fought bitterly, but a quickly composed militia of me against my army was quickly shot down. However, that battle did help ratify her as a nation. So you are welcome. Tea, anything you would like to say?" He asked looking at her from the corner of his eye.
"Tell Sealand that he should try to stay a micro-nation as long as possible." She muttered under her breath.
"Well then, we must go. Good bye!" Russia said with a discreet wave. The other three Nordics had to call in America and others to hold Finland and Sweden back.
"He knew that she would go to her home! He sent Lithuania to draw her out!" Sweden said pacing back and forth. He had already broken that coffee table.
"You need to calm down. We all know there is no point in trying to plan a way to get her away from Russia. Now, just sit down and have a drink." Denmark said sliding a half-filled scotch glass at the angry nation.
"You spoke too much today. You know what happens to people who don't listen to me?" Russia said towering over me. I cowered in the corner, chained up once again.
"Please don't! Russia, please… don't!" I yelled as he violently attacked my heart in the cage. I shrieked and writhed in immense pain.
"Tea! Wake up!" Mum was shaking me. I blinked and looked at mum and dad's worried faces.
"Thea! What's wrong?"
"You were screaming in you sleep." A dream? I lunged forward and grabbed both of them. They were real! I knew it! I was so glad it was a dream!
"Tea? Are you okay, you're shaking like a leaf." I let go of them and looked at them.
"You're crying. What happened?" I just shook my head.
"Can I sleep with you two? I don't want to have another nightmare." I muttered sitting back on my knees, I felt weak all of a sudden.
"Of course. But you don't look well." Mum said feeling my forehead.
"You're burning up. You must have a bad cold or something." He muttered. A cold? That's right, I was outside for a while for the last few days… it's been so cold this year too. I thought falling backwards on my bed. My balance was so off!Dad picked me up and carried me, while mum rushed around and made some sort of herbal medicine. He forced me to drink it. Ugh! This taste terrible! I thought swallowing my first mouth full. But I put on a good face and drank it without protest. I lay with my head on dad's chest. Just like in the old days, when I would be haunted by those awful dreams… I thought falling back into a deep sleep.
A/N: So, the whole heart being ripped out thing, it was a reference to a SuFin doujinshi that I stumbled upon while browsing the many tags in Tumblr. Yes, Russia was the bad guy (don't kill me!) any who... i was thinking about making a fanfictino contest~! The first five, That's right FIVE people who either 1) PM me or 2) reply to this chapter (ONLY this chapter) will get a one shot written for them~!(I will write most of them to the best of my abilities ^-^) Since my school started in a few weeks, i thought i could keep busy with some lovely request. Also, check out my other fan fic. I will take request for extra chapters on that one and make it a collection of one shots. So, enjoy this lovely temptation and I look forward to my world brightening reviews~! And I dont own Hetalia~!
