"Why is it always my eyes Schneetier? Why must I be so..." I thought of a word, "monster-like?" Tears streamed down my cheeks as I sat in a frost covered tree in the back yard of my homeland. I knew at least Schneetier understood how I felt. She had been turned away by her family and others of her kind when they saw that she had silver fur. She had always covered herself in dust or dirt so she'd look normal, but after a while it came off and she was revealed to be a silver saber-toothed cat.
She rubbed her head against me and purred trying to comfort me. I sighed glad that at least one soul knew what it felt like to be turned away by your own kind. A few moments later I heard rustling below me. I hid and Schneetier jumped down growling at the intruder. It was Prussia. 'What's he doing here? Secondly, how on Earth does he know where I am? I have long white hair that hides me, and I am a new nation,' I thought. Schneetier was baring her teeth in which gave her kind their name. Prussia was backing away from her with a glint of slight fear in his eyes. "No. Down Schneetier," I said using my native language. She back down away from the red eyed nation and allowed me to jump down in front of him once I had the hood of winter cloak up to hide my eyes. He stared at me for a good time. "What are you doing on my land? You shouldn't be here let alone be near someone like me," I asked keeping my soft since it hurt from crying.
"I vanted to know if you vere okay. I know how it feels to-" he started. I growled at him and Schneetier growled as well taking to my side. I pulled my hood off and glared into his red eyes.
"You do not know what it is like! Only Schneetier does! We are the only ones in the world that have these cases! At least you have others with red eyes! There are no others with our problems!" I cried out my eyes burning slightly from the cold air that hit them. "You wont understand us! No one has or will!" I turned my back on him pulling my hood back up to cover up my white hair and eyes. "No one..." I silently said to myself running deeper into the forest with Schneetier. I knew he was staring after since he was on my land, but I felt alone still. I knew I may seem like a jerk then, but my feelings were like ice. They were easy to destroy and scatter.
In started walking again. I really wasn't paying any real attention to where I was going, so I ended up running into Turkey. My eyes widened in fear and I tried to run the opposite way, but he picked me up by the hood of my cloak leaving me dangling in mid-air. Schneetier had left me alone because she had to go on a hunt, so I was alone with a nation many times my size. "Let me go!" I screeched trying to kick or hit Turkey in any way possible so he would let me go.
"Well aren't you a cute little nation?" he laughed as I struggled to get away. I growled when I figured out I couldn't run or defend myself. 'Why is it always me? Why do I either get stared at like a monster or pick on by people like this guy just because of my eyes?' I thought glaring up at the nation I didn't even know anything about. "Guess what thought. You are coming with me," he said.
I couldn't help but shout, "Oh yeah? Now what makes you think that? I've got three big brothers that will come save me!" I couldn't help but believe they would. 'They will come help me, wont they?' I thought.
"Oh? You mean the same three nations that would have left you alone that day had you not cried at being alone?" he said. His words hit me so hard I couldn't breathe for about 5 seconds.
"How-how would you know, huh? You-you never even met me! You don't even know me!" I tried making a good come back. I knew I was failing at that. I knew it was because the fact that I thought my brothers would have left in that snow, that I would not be here today. 'Please. My three heroes...save me!' I thought. I had always thought of them as heroes because I had read many fantasy books, but now, as Turkey carry me to a cart in which he threw me in. "Let me out of here! You can't do this! You will gain nothing!" I tried to him into letting me go.
"Oh, but I do. You see, if your brothers do come for you, I can trade you for everything they have," he laughed from outside to cart. He was treating me like I was a rare object! How dare he?! I am a person! How could someone treat a person like an object?
'Arthur, Alfred, Matthew, please, help me take back my freedom,' I thought with tears streaming down my eyes. 'Schneetier, if they don't find out that I am missing, I know you will. So, please, if you can't get them to come with you, at least I know you will come to help out in any way possible.' I curled myself up into a tight ball in the corner of the dark cart. I was able to feel it moving across my land, so I knew where I was until we got on a ship. I slowly started to become very scared. I was staring out a crack in the cart that was small enough for me to see my home as I was taken away. 'Prussia, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I hope you don't have as many people treat you the way I am treated,' I thought regretting that I let my feelings of sorrow get the better of me and not allow me to get close to a person I had once wished upon a shooting star to meet.
