Ch08

Okay, so I should probably put up translations for the last chapter because I'm sure not all of you know Russian and German and possibly more languages. Please remember that I used Google translate or from the original song, so if I got something wrong, dont be too mad.

"Leanne wurde von einem Auto in Island betroffen. Sie hat noch keine machen es wieder wie Sie sagte, sie würde! Leanne was hit by a car in Iceland! She didn't make it back like you said she would! (German)

Это разве справедливо! Почему это должно было случиться, чтобы Leanne! This isn't fair! Why did this have to happen to Leanne! (Russian)

Mawaru Mawaru te o totte mawaru chikyuu rondo, Anata no shinzō no kodō ni awa sete odoru,Anata no kao ni emi o ukabete bēkon o kamu, mawaru mawaru chikyuude, Guten Tag, Hetalia ! Round and round, hand in hand, The earth goes on rondo. Dance to the beat of your heart. Eat some bacon with a smile on your face, on the going earth... Hetalia! (Japanese)

Guten Tag! Good day (German)

About a week after the news, Leanne's belongings were sent to the house. Of coarse, being the closest to her, Hoffnungen grabbed all the stuff and started hiding in her room again. This time, not even bacon could bring her out of the depression that hit her when she found out her sister was dead. All day for weeks at a time, she would look at the bag that once belonged to her sister, but she didn't dare look inside. All she could think about was the last instance she would ever get to see of her sister. Her walking down the street with Austria. "Dieu bon sang. Pourquoi ce est elle qui a dû était assis au revoir.'' The moisture from her eyes blurred her vision. Every time Austria or Hungary would knock on the door she wouldnt yell, or scream, or fight. All she did was ignore it and stare at the bag. She thought about opening the bag, but was too scared that she would scream, crying. One day, Austria opened the door without kncking, and entered. Thinking Hoffnungen didnt notice.

''Hoffy... We know shes gone from our lives, but we need to move on. I promise you, i wont force you to wear the uniform. Just come back to us.''

''But... I dont know what to do without her...''

Austria moved closer to her and put an arm gently around the little nations shoulder. ''You can be a part of this family... Play with Shojen... You can go to the river...''

Hoffnungen finally moved after weeks of staying in the same spot for weeks. She glared at Austria with a death threat hidden in her eyes. ''Dont ever mention the river again... Thats where we made all our plans... Including her trip to Iceland...''

Austria gulped. He didnt like how he was being stared at. He wanted to run, but knew that Hoffnungen needed someone to help her get through her state of depression. He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. ''Leanne is always with you, Hoffnungen.'' Even with how cheesy it sounded, it was exactly what she neede to hear. She wiped her pink eyes with the sleeve of her pajama top and grabbed the bag. She unzipped the top of it and started pulling out her things. Now her things.

Her clothes, Her boots, Her makeup, Her stuffed dinosour, Her container of slime, her money, her hairpin, nailpolish, school uniform. It was a reminder for her of what America was like. But then something catches her eye. She sees 3 peices of paper. She takes out the first one. Its the picture of her with her sister on the river with Shojen placed on her head. Hoffnungen cupped her hand around her own cheek while Austria looked at the picture. The corner of it was slightly stained stain with blood. She must have had this when she was hit. She gently puts the picture next to her, then pulls out the next one. Its the picture of Leanne by herself. Austia recognized it imeddiately and even a tear dropped from his eye. This one ws in almost perfect condition. The neatly put that one and pulled out the last one. She only gave her 2 pictures so she was curious to see what it was. She looks at it. Its a collage of photos she had taken in Icaland. Beautiful gardens and flowers and plains.

''Hoffnungen? Are you okay?''

Hoffnungen slams the last one on the other 2 and turns to look at him. He was surprised to see that she didnt look mad. She looked like she actually wanted to be around him. She didnt want to be alone anymore. ''Austria...''

Austria wrapped his arms around the child. Hoffnungen did the same to him, until he left. The child finally pulled the last thing out of the bag. A diary. She decided not to read it. At least not yet. Not until her heart was repaired and she didnt feel lonely anymore. For the first time in weeks she came out of the room, and as celabration, Hungary made some more Canadian bacon. To her it was easier to make and tasted better. Hoffnungen, while eating dinner, smiled very brightly. She knew that her sister would always look after her and love her. She felt a little better, but she knew that things would never be the same.

The next morning was a new start for Hoffnungen, and she intended on using her second chance wisly. Austria was asleep when he felt a soft shaking on his arm. '' Mister Austria, its time for breakfast. Ive made you some coffee and bacon'' She made sure that Austria and Hungary were awake before running off. ''Miss Hungary, time to wake up!''

Something seemed different besides her change in attitude. After looking for a few minutes, he noticed 2 things off. The ribbon that was suppose to be tied around her uniform collar wasnt tied around her wrist like usual. And the other thing was in her hair. The hairpin that Leanne always wore was there. ''Good morning, Hoffy. Why are you waking us up? You usually dont wake us up because your asleep.''

''Ive decided to be the best maid i can be, mister Austria!''

''And why are you wearing the uniform? I said you didnt have to wear it, didnt I?''

Hoffnungen nodded. ''Thats another responsibility i have to take on. Wearing my uniform appropretly, Da!''

Austria couldnt believe his eyes. Hoffnungen had taken such a beating about her sister that she had tried to become more like her. She was sweet, caring, responsible, gentle... Just like Leanne was...''

Sorry for the really short chapter but I couldnt get on the computer for a while to type. Anyways, Heres the translations for this chapter!

Dieu bon sang. Pourquoi ce est elle qui a dû était assis au revoir. God dammit! Why was she the one that had to die!

Has my fanfic sent tears down your eyes yet, Da? Well there will be more coming soon!
