A/N: The only reason why I managed to update today is cause I borrowed my Dad's macbook – even though I personally hate them – and typed out my third chappie! Please note that all of these stories are in AU. I just realized that I keep forgetting all my disclaimers. ._.

Disclaimer: Do I look like Himaruya? No, I don't own Hetalia.

Hey guess what, earlier I went worm hunting and I caught 8 worms and this really disgusting white larva of some random insect. I grossed out until my friend told me that the larva would be good for our terrarium. My class is building a terrarium for bio. ^^

Kay, I'll shut up about my personal life now and let you read the story!

Characters: Liechtenstein (Lily Zwingli), Switzerland (Vash Zwingli), France (Francis Bonnefoy), Austria (Roderich Edelstein) and Hungary (Elizabeta Herdevary)

"Lily! I'm gonna go out for a bit! This stuffy room is gonna make me puke if I stay in here any longer!" Elizabeta called.

Lily smiled at the sound of her cheerful roommate's voice. She and Elizabeta were dormitory roommates at a college that her brother had recommended that she go to. He was in the dormitory next to hers, rooming with Francis Bonnefoy. He would occasionally complain to her about his annoying roommate making moves on him, but she didn't mind at all.

Looking up from her book, Lily answered, "OK, Eliza! Just make sure you come back by 4!" The Hungarian girl answered with a, "OK, fine!" before the door slammed and she left. Lily went back to reading her book, then realized that she had to study for a test the next day. Quickly pulling out all her study notes, she started going through them, highlighting all the important points.

Hours flew by effortlessly, and once she was done, she looked up at the clock, checking the time. It was already 5PM, and Elizabeta wasn't back yet. Lily nearly started panicking, but then she remembered that Elizabeta had a boyfriend, Roderich Edelstein, and she could possibly have gone to crash at his place. Assuring herself that her best friend hadn't gone missing, Lily relaxed on the bed and enjoyed the rest of her romance novel. The next time she checked the clock, it was 9PM; Lily didn't skim through books as quickly as her brother, she preferred to slowly read and enjoy every single word in the book.

Deciding that it was time for her to go to bed, Lily washed up, brushed her teeth and changed into her pajamas. Sleepily, she crawled into bed, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Scratch...scratch...

Lily sat bolt upright in bed, looking around for the source of the scratching noise. She had never been a heavy sleeper, and even the slightest sound could wake her from a deep, peaceful sleep. Abruptly, she heard a gurgling moan, then some more scratching. Lily listened harder, then realized in horror that the sounds were coming from right outside her door! She tried to block out the sounds by hiding under her blanket and crushing her pillow against her head, but it didn't work.

However, the moaning got softer and softer, and the scratching grew slower and slower...and then all the sounds stopped altogether with a soft thump against the ground. Lily prayed that they wouldn't start up again, and they didn't, but still, she couldn't sleep throughout the rest of the night. All she could think about was the gurgling moaning and the scratching sounds, and that was enough to keep her awake, trembling in fear under the protection of her large blanket. She only managed to fall asleep at 5AM in the morning.

At about 6AM, her alarm clock rang loudly, and Lily woke with a start, almost falling out of bed. She went to the bathroom to clean up and change, then was about to go out when she suddenly remembered the strange noises from the previous night. Frightened, she grabbed her phone and called Vash, her brother.

"Yes, Lily?" Her brother sounded groggy and sleepy, and Lily felt bad for disturbing him but she had to ask him a favor.

"Um...big bruder... I heard some strange noises outside my room last night and now I'm scared to go out. Can you come and help me check if there's anything outside my room?" Lily said, looking at her door warily.

"OK, Lily. I'll be there in just a moment, wait for me." He hung up, and she sighed in relief. She tried telling herself to calm down, telling herself that there was nothing outside her door and she would be perfectly fine and nothing had happened to Elizabeta-

Wait. What had happened to Elizabeta? She had never come back, and even if she went out she would return at around 5AM in the morning and sneak in quietly.

"LILY!"

Lily jumped, hearing the anxious tone in her brother's voice. "Yes, bruder?"

"Lily, are you OK? Did anything happen to you?" There was a note of urgency and fear in Vash's voice that Lily usually wouldn't hear.

Almost nervously, she answered, "N-No..."

She could almost see him sighing in relief behind the door. "Don't open the door, Lily. Just stay in there, and I'll call the police. Relax, Lily." Vash's voice was calm and reassuring, but she could hear the shaky tone in his voice. She was not reassured.

"P-Police? Why?" Lily demanded in shock, before flinging the dormitory door wide open.

Immediately, she wished she hadn't.

Elizabeta's body lay on the ground right outside the door, surrounded by a drying pool of blood. There was a slit all the way from her collarbone to her hip, and it had obviously eventually killed her, but what made Lily's blood run cold wasn't the hideous injury that had done her friend in.

It was the state of Elizabeta's fingers that did.

Her once-perfectly manicured nails were worn down to little bloody stumps and bits of bone, her fingers twisted into horrendous shapes and the multiple wooden splinters embedded in her palms and the tips of her fingers. She had been scratching at the door the entire night long...until she died from blood loss.

Lily screamed, and fainted right into her brother's arms.

A/N: Yeahh...I don't really like this one personally, but I liked the idea of scratching at a door until you die while the person inside is freakin' scared to high hell and doesn't want to open the door. I found it kewl. This urban legend is similar to the infamous 'Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn On The Lights?' but it's different. I think that this one isn't that scary cause the person inside the dormitory didn't die, but the other one practically implies that even college dormitories aren't safe, and that's pretty much enough to make me wanna jump out the window screaming in fear.

...

It's that bad. I just don't like home invasion. :'c

Maybe you guys could suggest some urban legends for me to use? It's becoming real hard for me to think of urban legends to use...ugh...
