This wasn't working.
She hated to admit it, but it wasn't… it wasn't working at all…. No matter what Feliks did, Elizabeta was slowly but surely falling… She couldn't deny it any longer… she was going to die. She was a lost cause. Hopeless. A failure. Hungary, the proud, headstrong nation who refused to take shit from anyone was finally falling. But how? How had this happened? Elizabeta had done everything she could think of to keep her nation—and people—safe and strong. So how? How could it be that a useless, arrogant bastard like Prussia could be the one that took her down! It was insane! Monstrous! It was blasphemy! It just couldn't be true…! …But it was…
The words echoed faintly in the Hungarian's head, a bitter reminder of what was yet to come… death. The fall of a nation, the rise of another… It wasn't right! But it was reality… and she hadn't even been able to bring herself to think of the worst part, yet…
Feliks. Poland, Felka, Fel. Whatever you wanted to call this nation, he was her biggest concern. Why? The answer was quite simple.
Feliks had sacrificed so much to become a strong nation, but he had given up even more to help a friend. A weak, stupid, useless, hopeless, failure of a friend! And it wouldn't even help! It would all go to waste, because Hungary was going to fall! Joining nations hadn't helped, it had hurt! And do you want to know why? Because when she and Feliks's nations merged, they had become on freaking piece of land! They were still their own people, of course, but they held the same territory! They represented the same place! If Hungary's section of the land was to fall, then Poland's part would follow right behind her! She had begun to accept she was falling, but that didn't mean she was going to drag Feliks down, too! She couldn't let him get hurt…
But there was another problem… Fel would never abandon someone he cared about, much less his best friend! He simply wouldn't do it, not even if his life depended on it. Which, in this case, it did.
..So she would just have to make him…
AN: So, hey, you guys. I'm going to start updating more often, again. C: Yay~ For some reason, school starting drives me to write more. Not that it gives me an excuse to procrastinate or anything. The fic is almost done~ I have the next chapter written in my notebook, and the one after that halfway done~ I'm not sure if there will be another after that… we'll just see how it goes~ I might go back to different chapters in the fic and edit my work, so don't be surprised of some changes appear. I just need to work on consistency and the like, because it's severely annoying me that my writing is everywhere at once. But anyways, I should be done fairly soon, so keep an eye out~
Oh, and sorry that this chapter is so short... for some reason, the only way I seem to be able to get things done lately is if they're a bit short. On the bright side, the updates come faster~!
