AN. Last chapter. So, it's Russia's turn! What do you think he would do? Please note that I do not own the lyrics to "Walking In Space".
Russia was walking down the corridor peacefully and whistling. The meeting of the nations went successfully and he was really happy about the way it. Ha had planned to go home but he wanted to visit the bathroom just before that. He was in no hurry.
Just as he entered the bathroom hall, I van remembered that his good friend Alfred aka America had recommended him to check the new stall and make sure to use it properly. As he was watching himself in the mirror and giggling innocently, Ivan thought what could have Fredka meant by this? Probably one of his usual practical jokes. It didn't matter anyway. Russia was feeling so relaxed and happy that nothing could have bothered him that day. He calmly opened the door of the stall.
It all changed at that moment. Before him was the unconscious girl fixated on a toilet pipe, her face and chest covered in dried dark blood. Two deep red holes were staring at him instead of eyes. Her empty toothless mouth was open and a trace of drool mixed with blood flowing out of the edge of her mouth.
Russia was paralyzed with fear and disgust. Did his friends do this to the poor girl? Were the people whom he trusted to run the world really such depraved monsters? His mind was racing as he felt a mixture of pity and anger.
He remembered something " That must be the girl Alfred told me about" he thought to himself. The one who had written all those depraved stories. "I told him not to worry about them, I told him it was just fanfiction. I told him!" he was screaming to himself in his mind.
But pondering over things while you just stay at one place wasn't going to solve anything. There was only one thing he could do. Carefully and trembling he approached Kona. He kneeled besides her and put his hand close to her month. She wasn't breathing. He then pressed her hand against her cold bare chest but could no feel her heartbeat.
On the verge of panicking, Russia reached out for his pocket. He took his mobile phone out and dialed 911.
"Hello! Can I have an ambulance here? There is a person who really needs help!"
…
Kona didn't know if she was awake or asleep. All she could feel were the cold bed sheets pressing against her skin. She was sure she was in a bed, probably in a hospital. She was finally happy that she was away from that cold stall and there was someone to take care of her. Even if it was a dream or she was dead and in heaven, all she could do was be content.
She definitely knew one thing, however: she did not want her parents to see her now. Not in this state. Her mother would be too devastated not to mention they would wonder how their daughter ended up like this. She did not want to admit it even to herself but she was gullible enough to fall for the charms of a psychopath.
Was it day or night outside? She could never know. Even though she was a little hungry she could wait. Kona didn't have any desires no as her biggest wish had come true: she had escaped from the tortures of the people she once thought were the greatest characters in the world. But one thing was lurking in her mind. Who could have helped her? Could it have been one of the nations?
It didn't matter anymore.
Suddenly, everything around Kona changed. She did not feel the bed sheets anymore. In fact she felt nothing around herself. It was just like she was floating weightless, in nothingness.
BAM! All of a sudden, she had sight again. And she could hear. She was among the stars, floating in space. Or was it even space? Never had she imagined space was so colorful, there were stars and bright lights everywhere, just like in colorful sci-fi illustration. Blue, pink, bright red, yellow, green, purple, deep blue, white…all of them. Kona felt warmness. A familiar tune was coming from the horizon. A chorus was singing:
My body
Is walking in space
My soul is in orbit
With God face to face
Floating, flipping
Flying, tripping
What a beautiful song! It sounded so familiar, it was probably from a movie or something. Suddenly, she saw many faceless people, all dressed in various colorful clothes and dancing, many of them cosplayers. Kona looked at herself – her legs and arms were back!
The people were gradually starting to have features and she recognized many of her friends among them, all of them dressed as their favorite anime characters. In this colorful and melodic idyll, Kona tried waving her limbs, as if she was swimming, to reach them. One woman grabbed her arm and pulled her to the crowd. It was her mother, together with her dad. Her mom gave her a big hug and whispered in her ear:
"Did you think we were going to leave you?" Kona kissed her on the cheek and hugged her once again.
She then went to look for her friends. There were no worries on her mind anymore, all she felt was eternal happiness. And no one could take this away from her. Not America, not China, not Japan. They were forever gone.
She was now flying like a bird among the stars and feeling the joy of all people. She hadn't found her friends yet but they couldn't be far away. She would reach them.
The beautiful familiar song was still echoing:
Walking in space
We find the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Wide wide wide!
AN. And this is the end, my dear friends! So what do you think? Was the last chapter happening for real or just a dream in Kona's dying tortured mind? I decided to give Russia a bit different characterization than the usual "Psycho rapist" one because I am a little tired of people portraying him this way.
Anyway thanks for reading and don't forget to leave feedback! Also, I have 6 more planned stories – 5 one shots and 1 multi chapter, which I'll definitely post here once I finish. This time no self inserts, however, only canon characters! So, in case you liked this story and my writing, there's more from where it came from! Cheers!
