Lost. Chapter 11.
A/N: Well, I would have had this out sooner but when I went to email it from my notes on my iPod to my computer I accidentally deleted the entire note. IT WAS SO BIG TOO! I'm not sure if this one is bigger or not. I hope to God it is. I apologize if this isn't in the right mood because I've been listening to a lot of country songs. I'll try to use one for the song thingy one of these times. Anyway, continue reading.

Lyrics to Stupid, Sadistic and Suicidal by Mindless Self Indulgence.
Italy's POV
The lithe Italian sat at his desk surrounded by a mountain of paperwork. He sighed and ran a hand through aburn hair. He wasn't used to such a large amount of work. He wouldn't complain though. The more work to do; the more work he was getting done.
Despite what others would say about the Italian, Feliciano knew how to work and wouldn't complain when receiving a large work load. Feliciano didn't mind when he knew that work would take him further up the food chain. For far too long, he had been near the bottom; silently staying out of sight so he could make his plans. His plans have been long complete and perfected. It had taken a lot of time and resources to gather the man power he needed. Fortunately, many of his citizens were also waiting for the day when the name 'Italy' would make others shiver in fear.
Now, he had obtained a vast amount of followers who were all willing to sacrifice their lives for their countries. They were all careful to not make word of their increasing army to anyone who might betray them while they had been growing. So far, all has gone smoothly. Everything was going well.
Feliciano felt powerful for the first time in his long life. He had a few allies on his side who loved him as he had once thought Ludwig loved him and he had all his followers who would stay with him to the end, which promised success for him.
Feliciano hoped to make a small dent in the mountain of papers before he left the building. A small smirk tugged at the edges of his mouth. He looked forward to seeing Ludwig and Kiku tomorrow. He glanced at the clock. They usually received their water around this time. He shook his head. He needed to stay on task. He went back to the work at hand.
A knock at the door broke through the silence in the room. Feliciano didn't look up from work.
"Come in." he ordered. The door groaned, alerting Feliciano that the person entered. Footsteps proceeded to the desk at the opposite end of the room. The person stopped a respectable distance from the desk.
"Excuse me, sir?" Feliciano immediately recognized the voice as General Alfonso. He was an aged man who was brilliant with war strategies. He was tall and muscular despite being well into his forties. He suited his name well; Alfonso meaning ready for battle. Feliciano looked up at the General.
"Yes General." Feliciano responded respectfully. Amongst his men and generals, he required that they treat him with the most respect as possible and they would get respect in return.
"I have some very important news for you; good and bad." Alfonso said dipping his head in the greeting Feliciano required.
"I'll have the bad news first." Feliciano said with a sigh. It must be pretty big news if Alfonso was the one telling it to him.
"Germany and Japan have escaped." Alfonso said. He paused seeing Feliciano's eyes darken and his expressionless face twist to an irate expression. When Feliciano was silent, he continued. "They attacked the guard while he was giving them their water and they escaped somehow and used the mans weapons to attack the guards. They made it to the door and the men that had been sent to intercept them would have gotten them if it hadn't been for some unexpected guests. I haven't watched any tapes; I wanted to let you know and offer you to come with me before I did." Alfonso finished.
Feliciano was trembling in anger, "Yes, take me to the video surveillance room."
Alfonso dipped his head, "As you wish. May I warn you sir that we're still cleaning up the hallways." Feliciano waved to him impatiently and got up from his chair. The paperwork would have to wait and undoubtedly he would have more when he returned. He maneuvered around his desk. The General stepped out of his way as he walked past. The doors were opened by the guards, always present by the doors and Feliciano walked out.
"Just lead the way." Feliciano said. The General hurried to catch up with him and led him down the hallway.
At first, Feliciano didn't see anything out of the ordinary. When he turned the corner going past the room where Ludwig and Kiku had been kept he saw the first body.
He instantly recognized the man as Arduino. The man had so young and naive but so eager to fight for his country. He had a family; a wife and a young daughter. He had lived in Italy all his life. He was dedicated to his country and being very active in the gym, he had joined the army as soon as he found out their plans to instill fear into the hearts of other countries. He was kind and loyal to his fellow soldiers and friends but he was ruthless to his enemy. He had stood out to Feliciano which is why he had agreed to take on someone so young.
If you'd thought Feliciano had become completely heartless you're wrong. All the people he had loved and trusted for so many centuries had betrayed him in his eyes. He longed to be around people that would truly understand him and make him feel respected and wanted. To the Italian nation, his followers were more then followers. They were his children. They loved him for giving them a chance to make something of their lives and Feliciano loved them for their dedication.
Feliciano pressed his lips into a thin line and crouched down by Arduino. He had a single bullet wound in his chest. A quick and hopefully painless death. Feliciano barley withheld a shutter seeing his opaque eyes staring up at nothing. Feliciano let his hand rest on Arduino's head. He gently slid his fingers down his face, his fingers dancing across his cooling skin and slid his eyelids shut. Feliciano let his hand linger as he sent an Italian prayer up to God to give the man safety in the next world.
He rose to his feet. Alfonso was standing a few feet behind him with his head bowed.
"Let's go." Feliciano said softly. Alfonso dipped his head again and continued. Feliciano and the General continued down the hallway. The number of bodies increased as they went to the door. At every body, Feliciano did the same as he did for Arduino; kneeling by them and making sure their eyes were closed before sending them a prayer.
By the time they reached the surveillance room, both Feliciano and the General had heavy hearts. Even thought it was war and Feliciano and the General had seen much death, it still was upsetting to see so many young men killed. Feliciano sat down facing the TV monitor. Alfonso had the man running the surveillance tapes find the part in the holding cell of the Germany and Kiku when they escaped.
Feliciano and Alfonso watched the reply; Kiku kicking the man, breaking the bucket and using the handle to undo his ties and untying Ludwig. The two got to their feet. Feliciano couldn't help but smirk at how unsteady they were on their feet. They got weapons from the man rendered unconscious on the floor. They left the room. From that point on, Feliciano and Alfonso kept having to look from one screen to the next to keep up with what was happening.
Feliciano felt anger suffocate his insides when he saw the large band of countries enter the building and leave with Germany and Japan. How dare they unexpectantly come and take his prisoners. Granted, Feliciano planted evidence in his house so that they would know where he was but they were supposed to come to when Germany and Japan were still tied up so that Feliciano could capture them as well.
"Alfonso." Feliciano said in a dangerous tone though it wasn't directed at the General.
"Yes sir?" Alfonso said.
"You said you had good news as well?" Feliciano asked. He browsed through a few scenarios in his head but he couldn't think of anything that would make up for what had happened. Everyone had been alive when they left. A sudden thought filled his head just as the General answered.
"Oh yes. My apologies sir," Alfonso quickly said. "After they all left, they went through the training field and one of them ran into a mine. We haven't been able to identify who it was so I would appreciate it if you would take a look and see if you can help at all."
Feliciano smiled. Just as he had hoped! "Yes, I can do that. I just need you to prepare a few things for me while I do so." He said.
"Anything sir." Alfonso said.
"Since they know where we are now and we have nothing to use against them, we will need to change locations. Use the remaining men to move everything to the second building and I would like to get in contact with my fratello." Feliciano said.
"Yes sir. As you wish sir." The General said.
"Good. Now excuse me while I go see who is lying out in our field." Feliciano smiled devilishly. Alfonso allowed a small smile.
"Very well sir. I'll get on what you have asked of me." He said. Feliciano smiled. He could make use of this situation.
"Just keep up the good work." Feliciano said. He turned and left the room before waiting to hear Alfonso's response.
Feliciano walked out onto the training field. The ground was hard against his feet. The sun was beginning to set. Soon, night would fall upon them all and the countries would be left to stay in the woods.
He could easily detect where the body was from the thick cluster of men. Not only that, the sharp scent of blood filled the air.
Feliciano felt eager to go over and see who it was that was lying on the ground. He smirked and hurried to check it out.
The men parted to allow him through. Feliciano peered down at the bloody mess that had once been a person. Just as the General promised, he couldn't tell who it had been. He knelt down, not bothering to avoid the blood and leaned close to the body to get a closer inspection. He couldn't tell anything from the blood stained clothes.
"If you don't recognize him, we can always use DNA testing." One of the men informed him. Feliciano sighed. He didn't feel like waiting for the results. He wanted to find out now. Without any hesitation, he started digging around the corpse to look for any sign of recognition. Some men around him made noises of disgust but they all tried to hide whatever noises they made.
Feliciano finally found a couple hairs that hadn't been stained with blood. He nearly yells in joy seeing the easily recognizable golden hair. It was Alfred who was dead! Oh, joyous day! Alfred had been the one that Feliciano considered the biggest threat. With him out of the picture, things would go so much smoother. He hadn't planned for it but sometimes not every mistake was bad. Feliciano whipped his bloody hands on his pants and stood up.
"This man used to be Alfred F. Jones, the United States of America." Feliciano grinned triumphantly. Someone wrote something down.
"Thank you sir." Someone said. Feliciano turned to face the men.
"Anyone who doesn't have anything to do, go see General Alfonso. He will need lots of help." Feliciano said. A couple of men saluted and quickly dashed off to find the nearly middle aged man. Feliciano turned to one of his guards that always followed him.
"I would appreciate it if you to see the weapons specialist." Feliciano said. The man, Martino nodded.
"As you wish sir." He said respectfully. He led Feliciano inside the building and down the hallways which were now almost clear of bodies. In a matter of minutes, they reached the weapons specialist's room.
The weapons specialist's name was Taddeo, meaning courageous. He was a small man but was strong. He worked with his knives and guns every day and was also very talented with bombs, the reason of Feliciano's visit.
"Taddeo?" Feliciano said. The man immediately rushed into the room from a room connected to the side, most likely a lab.
"Hello sir! What can I do for you?" Taddeo asked dipping his head respectfully.
"I just need you to send a bomb to France. I don't care what kind, or where it is; I trust your judgment just send it!" Feliciano said rather abruptly.
Taddeo was taken aback at the order. "A bomb to France you say?" he repeated.
"Yes! That's what I said wasn't it? Now can you do it or not?" Feliciano asked impatiently. He had a lot of work he wanted to do as well as some people to contact so he didn't want to talk with the man long.
"Y-yes sir. I'll be right on it." Taddeo said dipping his head again.
"Good. Do it quick." Feliciano said. He turned on his heels and left as quickly as he came. He returned back to his office again. He sat back in his chair and sighed again. His plan wasn't going perfectly but this could certainly work out to his advantage. With Alfred dead, he'd have no real threat. He and his allies could take on those countries with ease. He knew from watching the tapes that he had one of his allies amongst the other countries keeping an eye on them for him. He would no doubt alert him if they were going to try anything completely against his plans.
Feliciano smirked again. Yes, he could make do with this mistake. He would get Ludwig and Kiku back and they would pay for all the pain they put him through.
A/N: Sorry that this chapter is really bad. I wanted to get it out today so that I could start writing chapter 15. Please review! The next chapter will be better, I promise!
