This has got to be the longest chapter of this fic so far. I'll definitely try to make the next one longer. I'll also try to have it ready by next Friday but no guarantees because my inspiration for this fic comes and goes.
otaku no. 6040: Thank you for the review. I really wanted to know what people thought of this so your one review was perfect for me. You have a good point about putting in more detail and making the chapters longer. The thing is that I wrote the first four chapters about 2 years ago and I haven't messed with them much since except for some edits. I'll definitely take you thoughts into consideration for chapter 5.
I'm going to introduce you to one of my O.C. out of 8 for this fic in this chapter and I would love to know what people think of her. After she reveals who she is exactly (which maybe in the next chapter or the one after that) I'll tell you more about her character at the end of that chapter.
I still don't own Hetalia but I definitely own my O.C. Doesn't that sound nice?
Katrina Aldrich Jones (a.k.a.) The Weird Girl Who Knows America and Calls Her E Tsi
The girl who they could now see (her presence reminded them of Canada just a little bit) stood up straight and looked straight at Romano.
She had long black hair in a French braid with her purplish blue eyes covered by rectangular wire frame glasses.
She seemed to have a strong Native American heritage though her skin was as pale as any Caucasian.
She was wearing a black jacket that looked like it had a lot of pockets on top of a yellow t-shirt and dark blue jeans with tennis shoes on.
In her hand was a flashlight and she laughed.
"The mafia doesn't scare me."
She then gave him a vicious smile as her eyes turned red
"If anything they're scared of me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Katrina Aldrich Jones and I am a part time mechanic. I noticed that you seemed to be having some car trouble so I thought I might try to help, eh."
England scoffed (though he felt the red eyes were creepy but thought it was rude to say something),
"Oh really, then what is the problem with our cars?"
"Simple. Someone cut the wires between the ignition and the engine. Someone obviously didn't want you to leave here. Anyways. What are a bunch of foreigners doing in Jamestown? Because I highly doubt any of you are actually interested in American history."
Italy perked up,
"We are looking for something our friend hid in the first English colony in North America. Ve~, why are your eyes red bella?"
While everyone else face palmed at Italy's insensitive question, Katrina gave Italy a soft smile and her eyes started turning back to their original violet color but it seemed as if she hadn't even noticed his question.
"Well if you're looking for the first English colony in North America, you're a few miles too north. Jamestown is just the first successful English colony."
Everyone glared at England who blushed and belligerently said,
"I only said that I thought that Jamestown was the first. Not my fault that Marcus rushed over her without a second thought."
This caused Canada to bury his head in Nanuq's fur and mumble,
"It's Matthew."
Katrina raised an eyebrow at this but continued telling them the rest.
"Roanoke is the first English colony in North America even though the first colony in the U.S. was St. Augustine in Florida. However I think Roanoke is where you want to go because it's really the first colony to be considered part of America. If you want to go there I can take you but I should warn you that it can be a bit dangerous."
England paled when he heard that they were going to Roanoke.
France noticed that England seemed incredibly scared of something.
"What's wrong Angleterre? You seem awfully afraid of something. Ohonhonhonhon."
"Roanoke was the colony that disappeared and no one knows why."
"Al does or else she wouldn't have hidden whatever she did there," Canada said (read whispered).
Russia kol koled,
"Amerika seems to be hiding a lot of things from us. What else might she have hidden?"
Katrina's eyes turned red again,
"You guys are talking about E Tsi. She's the representative to the World Meetings for the United States of America. What's wrong with her? Is that why the eight of us felt that it was time to give the trials?"
Japan who had been watching silently until that point (unlike China who had been complaining about westerners) asked,
"What are these trials you speak of? And what is your relation to America-san? And what do you mean by the eight of us?"
Katrina gave a cold smile,
"You'll find out about my relation to America eventually, for now the trials have already started and I'm sorry to say the only ones who seem to be passing are the quiet Canadian, the Jap, and the Mafioso."
Everyone stared at the three of them while Canada just buried his head back into Nanuq's fur while Romano glared angrily at them and Japan frowned in thought.
Italy (who as you know always does his own thing) said,
"Fratello, how come she knows that you deal with the Italian mafia?"
Spain (who had been staring at Romano thinking how smart his tomate was) frowned,
"Lovi, you should be more careful. The mafia could hurt you before Boss can make sure his little henchman is safe."
"Shut up tomato bastard I can take care of myself just fine, what I want to know is why she seems familiar, so why do you?"
The last part was directed at Katrina who smiled but didn't give a reply to his question.
She turned to face everyone else,
"I'm supposed to give you a ride down to Roanoke though honestly speaking I shouldn't have even been giving you guys my trial first because Virginia isn't even part of my territory."
"What do you mean, not part of your territory?"
China had had enough of the westerners ignoring him so he did something about it.
Katrina stared at him blankly.
"Exactly what it sounds like, old man. Virginia is not part of my territory. Now hurry up already."
With that statement, Katrina led them toward the back of the parking lot as China spluttered a protest about not being that old while the other nations tried not to laugh. Oh who are we kidding? Of course they laughed. The nations are not very nice after all.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Review and tell me what you think of Katrina.
E Tsi is Cherokee for Mother and I looked this up and found out Cherokee is the most popular Native American language spoken in the area where Katrina is from. (I did my research okay.)
I'll try to have the next chapter up by next Friday and I apologize in advance if it isn't.
