~Italy~
Italy stared at the small black icon at the bottom of the screen for a moment before clicking on it. As the title screen came up, an eerie sound played and the word "Slender" appeared the screen. Italy whimpered, and placed a pair of headphones on his head. He promptly turned the volume down almost all the way, then reluctantly pressed the play button.
"I don't think I want to play this game, veh~" he thought to himself. The area he appeared in was dark, the only light coming from a barely lit flashlight. The silence was even more ominous than the eerie background music from before on the title screen. "Collect all 8 pages? Veh~? What's a page?" he thought, though he brushed it off and assumed he'd learn later on. Italy shuddered and looked around the area. It was a creepy forest with a barely visible path and a dark sky. He pressed "w" and moved forward. He jumped at the sound of his character's footsteps, and stopped moving. He took a deep breath and moved forward again. Wind blew in the trees, giving off an even more eerie atmosphere. The Italian felt the hair on the back of his head stand up as he approached a large, ominous tree in the middle of a clearing. He stopped moving again and whimpered, taking a minute to gather enough bravery to get close to it. He accidentally pressed the shift key, and he then learned that he could sprint. "How do I know when to use it?" he whispered to himself aloud. Nevertheless, he took his finger off the shift key and approached the large tree. He walked a circle around it, and then saw a piece of paper attached to side. "Maybe this is a page~?" Italy left-clicked and a loud boom was heard through the headphones, as well the words "1/8 Pages Collected" across the top of the screen in white text. Caught off guard by the booming noise, Italy screamed and snatched the headphones off, jumping backward at least 10 feet.
"AGH! DOITSU!" He yelled out of instinct, tears swimming in his eyes. He cautiously looked up at the screen again, and saw that he was still in the same spot. Whimpering, he put the headphones back on and turned the volume almost all the way off. The booming was still steadily pounding in the background, but Italy quickly grew accustomed to it and continued moving forward. Within a few minutes, he reached a truck with a small warehouse behind it. Italy sprinted to it, hoping to find another page. He searched around the truck and found a page attached to the back of it. Left-clicking to pick it up, he made a sharp 180 degree turn toward the side of the warehouse. He then made another sharp turn, this time 90 degrees to the back of it. Unfortunately for Italy, the turn was too sharp.
A very loud boom was heard and a tall, skinny, faceless man in a suit stood right by Italy. He was too terrified to move. Static took over the screen, and he felt his fingers tense up on the keyboard and his eyes widen. His mouth opened slightly, but only a small sound came out as he was too petrified to scream. The faceless man's head was close to the screen now, and a loud static sound boomed in Italy's ears. The screen went black.
"Game Over. 2/8 Pages Collected." Italy was still frozen in terror. He told himself to snatch the headphones off and run away screaming, but his eyes were glued to the black screen. After several minutes, he heard the front door open in the other room. He jumped up suddenly, and stared at the door, waiting for the faceless man to appear and kill him. The door to the room did open, but it was Germany who stood there in the doorway. By the look on Italy's face, he could tell what happened.
"Italy, you played that game, didn't you?" he muttered, mentally face-palming.
