Chapter 10, House of Horrors

As the two English brothers waited for their guests, the door creeked open to reveal Scotland walking in with the intent to find his brothers. London raised his eyebrow, figures that America wouldn't open it, he would have been too scared. England had been thinking the same thing as they watched their older brother walk in, cigarette in hand. Next came Wales and Ireland, who looked around with wearyly. Which was understandable, seeing as the mansion basicallyreeked of black magic and ghosts. Then came the axis, the allies, Spain, Prussia, Hungary, and Canada. Everything was going according to plan, now for their little freind in 3...2...1..

"AHHHHHHHH!" shrieked a shirll voice, then a girl wearing a maid outfit came sprinting out, and crashed into Scotland who 'omfed' and held the girls arms as she thrashed.

"Oi! Lass, calm down. What a'ppened? Who are ye?" The girl trembled as she gulped and gasped, which London made a mental note to give the girl an Oscar, she was really covincing. Scotland was even speaking the queen's English clearer than usual.

"I-I'm o-only a maid sir, weird things have been going around the mansion since the old owner died, we were on our final days sir, until the mansion was going to the old owners' nepfew, the other maids an I- oh god I can still hear their screaming, oh god, oh god".

"Shhh, lass calm down. What's been a'ppening?"

"T-The new owner went here earlier this morning, then he went to the basement to check the rest of the house, then we heard screaming Hank and Margret went to check, and then there were more screams. The whole house went dark, we were trapped, but two um brothers I think came," she said in a hurry.

"Wait a moment lass, two brothers?" Scotland asked. The girl nodded,

"Twins I think, one blond, one black haired, but I think that one dyed his because I could still see the blond tips," she seemingly thought for a moment, "Arthur and William Kirkland I think, do you know them?"

"Aye, they're me brothers. Why were they here?"

"They said that they could help, but then they ran out of the basement bleeding and yelling at us to run. After that, I-I don't know where they are now..sorry," she mumbled. Yes, he was definetly getting her an Oscar.

"Oh, I almost forgot. They said if a man that looked them but with orange hair came, to tell you it's a demon. With all that happened...god," she shook as she hugged herself. Scotland nodded and beckoned the others to get inside, while getting the girl to go outside. London observed habits that England hammered into Scotland as he gave her some pounds for the taxi fair home, oh yes he was going to rejoice. When everything's done of course. The gang came and the door slamed, perfect. Let the games, truly begin.

Alfred almost jumped as the door slammed shut, he walked as calmly as he could to the door and tested it. Locked. He looked to Scotland and found him looking around the house calmly, he shook his head. He was the hero.

Scotland looked around, it was best to be alert. Especialy in...a house like this.

"Artie? Bunny? Will?" He had taken the time to think about it, and he accepted William as his little brother. After all, in the time he spent thinking he remembered one memory.

He was looking around the forest, England had finally snapped at him for all the things he's done. He shouldn't have gone so far. When he finally found a mop of messy blond hair he was about to run toward it, until what he saw stopped him.

"Why do they do it Camelot?"

There, on the plains was seemingly two Englands. The one on the right was crying, while the one on the left was conferting him.

"Why do they hurt us? I mean, you switch places with me sometimes...but you always come back bruised and shaking..."

"I don't know brother, but Albion. Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course brother".

"Can you..not hate our brothers? I'm pretty sure they're doing this for a reason, they wouldn't be doing this out of pure hatred you know. They are our brothers after all".

"O-Ok, I can do that".

He stepped away, he had another little brother.

After that..well, Scotland be damned if he let anything happen to his little brothers. A thump sounded to his right and his head whipped to the same direction.

"Uhhhh," the voice groaned out. He jogged over there and he found the two brothers bleeding, with scars everywhere. They didn't look good.

"Jings, crivens, help ma boab, keek at ye twa. Ye keek tairible," he said switching into his Scotish accent.

"Ssspppeeeaaaakkk eenngglliisshhh wwaaannnkkeerr," groaned out Arthur. William looked at him,

"Waa aare yow durn 'are Sco'land?". Scotland raised his eyebrow, it seems London was slipping more than England.

"Londres? Angeltere? Is that you?" As Scotland was picking him up, London glared at said speaker who was none other than France.

"Shu' up fresher face". Yes, London was slipping. His eyes suddenly widened as he thrashed wildly,

"HUNGARY RUN!". Hungary was grabbed by a black tentacle as she screamed and disapeared, the room was deathly quiet. Until a sharp scream shook the chandilier above. The others flinched and covered their ears, too shocked to respond to anything. Who was next?

England and London were picked up by their older brothers, much to the protests of the others. England had slipped into unconsciousness a long time ago, but London was still awake to give directions to an empty room and a firsy aid kit.. England was put to bed, and London was propped up against the chair. With Scotland tending to his wounds, much to his protests.

"All right, speak up. London what were you doing here?" demanded Scotland. London sighed and looked at him,

"It was supposed to be a prank.."

"WHAT?! London! We were woried, I was worried! You mean ta say-"

"OW! For god's sake don't press that Scotland! Like I said, it was supposed to be a prank, the girl was a heck of a good actor. But, something went wrong. Something attacked us, I don't know what it was but," he looked at England, "I'm starting to regret it. Hungary was not even supposed to be gone, something went wrong..." London frowned and went completely mute, and in thought. Leaving the other nations with the common question. What went wrong?
