Chapter 10: Poland and Lithuania


"We…we lost?" Lithuania mumbled into the snow soaked soil. Poland lay next to him, seemingly unconscious.

The two had always fought battles together. They had always won as well. Poland and Lithuania, the unstoppable pair. Yet here they were lying on the ground, bloody and bruised, utterly defeated. Russia towered over them, taking pride in his work. Suddenly he leaned down so that he was facing Lithuania.

"You will come with me now, da?" Lithuania stared at him with wide eyes. Russia couldn't be serious.

Oh but he was.

"I don't want to go with you though." Russia just smiled and yanked Lithuania up, dragging the younger behind him. Felix began to stir.

"I won though, you have to go with me." Lithuania stumbled behind Russia, almost falling. He took one last look behind him, and saw Poland lift himself off the ground.

"Poland! Help me!" Poland looked around dazed.

"Leit? Like where are you?" Lithuania yanked his wrist, but Russia had to strong of a grip.

"Poland please! Don't let him take me!" Lithuania screamed. Poland snapped back to reality.

"Leit!" He tried to stand, but the injuries to his body were too much, he crumpled to the ground with a cry.

The two were getting farther and farther apart with every step.

"Like listen to me Leit! I promise you that no matter where you go or where he takes you I will find you!" Poland had tears in his eyes. Even from a distance, Lithuania could see the fears in his friends face.

"You promise?" Russia gave an angry tug on his arm, almost knocking him to the ground.

"Always and forever!" Poland yelled back, before falling back on the ground, entirely passed out.

Lithuania let the tears that had formed in his own eyes fall down his cheeks. Russia continued to drag him along, the childish grin still on his face. Lithuania stared at Poland's figure for as long as he could, until finally Russia and he could only see snow.

"I'll wait for you Poland. Always and forever." Lithuania said, his tears drying on his cheeks.
