The upcoming chapter will have more action in it again, but you will have to wait for that for an other few days. (or tomorrow, who knows~)
Thanks for your reviews on the note I uploaded. It was very helpful to get back to it. I love you guys… Also! Doctor Who Reference!
Enjoy~
(Edit: well... erm, don't know how that happened, but wales turned into ireland and i turned him back to wales ._. i'm gonna slap myself.)
~.:*:.~
England was someone who always tried to hide his emotions from others, so that no weakness would be exposed to the nations around him, but this was getting rather difficult at the moment. Norway was in great danger and it was killing him, that it was practically his fault. Norway was a very good friend to him and both of them with Romania were a great trio, just like France, Prussia and Spain. He walked up and down in the living room while thinking.
He had also changed in different clothes, since his uniform was completely stained with blood and ripped apart. His brother was kind enough to lend him some black pants and a green sweater. The fairies had also brought the sword inside the house and the first thing England did, was to attach it to belt. The blade was inside the swords old scabbard that was also hidden in the sanctuary. Tinkerbell was kind enough to retrieve it for his friend.
"Iggy, chill out! I'm pretty sure you are still whacked from that fight.", America tried to calm down the upset Brit in front of him.
"America is right, brawd. Your magic is still burned out! You could collapse if you overdo it!"
England's green eyes seemed to be unfocused on something really, while he was walking around in the room.
"I.. I don't care. I have to think of something and fast! I'm trying to figure out, where Morgan could be hiding…"
America almost instantly started to chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure she is sitting in like a rip off from Dracula's castle and laugh's like a maniac."
To prove his point, he put the fingers on each other and laughed like a bad actor for a villain.
England suddenly froze.
"Yes.. yes, that's it!"
He walked over to an old world map in the living room and took it of the wall with a swift move and placed it on the table.
"Morgan likes the darkness and old buildings! Her old castle was destroyed, so she won't be there anymore. She is also to smart to just get back to a place, where I could find her easily. I could sense her on my borders easily, so she is not in England."
America and Wales joined him, as he looked over the map with concentration.
"But were else could she be then?"
"That is the big question… knowing that she loves dark and cold places, I would say that it is a country with less sunny days… So everything in the south would be out of question."
He placed a finger on the map, right were the Nordics are.
"Norway, Sweden, Finnland, Iceland and Denmark…"
Than he moved his finger to the east.
"Estonia… Russia… Canada… all these countries are mostly cold and dark over the year, so it would be a possible place to hide for her. Romania would also be a possibility, but he is pretty got at sensing dark magic in his country, so he would have already contacted me, if something strange is going on there."
America laughed his heroic laugh and slammed a hand on the map.
"Hey, it's pretty easy to find her then! I mean, we only have to check like 8 countries!"
America's laugh was cut of by a strong smack on his head from Ireland.
"You idiot! We are still talking about millions of miles!"
England gave a long sigh and watched for a brief moment, how Ireland and America argued. His big eyebrows started to twitch in annoyance.
"Would you to be so kind to shut it!?"
He rubbed his temples a bit.
Urg, I'm getting a headache again…
He grabbed a black jacket and put it on.
"I will go to Sweden's home. Maybe I can find some clues there."
America let go of Ireland's hair, just like Ireland let go of his neck.
"H-hey wait! I will go with you!", America screamed and ran to his side. England was not pleased…
"America…?", he growled and tightened the grip on the sword handle.
But the growl didn't affect America at all. He stood his ground like a 'real hero' and just glared at the old nation in front of him.
"I told you a thousand times now and I mean it… I will come with you. You said it yourself, I'm now part of all this and it's not very brave to hide at home, knowing that someone you is getting his butt kicked out there."
He placed his hands on his hips and intensified the glare a bit.
"I can help you. I'm pretty sure I can. Just tell me how and I will jump in action."
His serious face got replaced by a soft smile when his speech was done.
England was kind of taken aback by the honest seriousness the young nation showed. He furrowed his eyebrows, deep in thought again.
He wanted to keep the boy save. The boy he grew to love and made him smile.
Even if it is just a memory.. a dream…
His expression softened again and he gave a long sigh of defeat.
"I'm pretty sure… even if I lock you up in your house, you will still find a way out and go after me… alright.. fine, you can come with me."
Suddenly he placed a finger on America's chest.
"But you will listen to me, alright? When I tell you to run, you will run, got it?"
America just rolled his eyes, but kept the smile.
"Alright, Iggy… but I will not fetch you a piece of toast with marmite or do you housework."
"W-wha?! Like I would order you to do something like this!"
England turned a deep shade of red and America just laughed.
Wales watched the scene with a smile on his face.
Maybe all of this is just what little brawd needed…
"Well then. If you want to go to Sweden's house… than I will help you two with that."
He walked to the hallway and to an old door that leads to the basement.
"I'm pretty sure my old teleporting circle must still be intact."
America and England looked at each other with a questioning expression on their face and followed Dilan down the stairs.
"What do you mean teleporting? Can you transport us though time and space, like that box from the series England likes so much!?"
England rolled his eyes and glared at America, who was jumping up and down in excitement.
"That 'box' is called a Tardis…. And no, Dilan is talking about a magic transportation pentagram. Every member of my family has it at home, so we could travel faster around the world or to each other, if there is an emergency in the family."
Dilan laughed by the mention of the word emergency. He remembered what that word meant to Scotland. Poor Ireland and his alcohol supplies…
All three were now standing in the old basement. It was pretty empty. Only a few old pictures and boxes were down there.. and a big pentagram, drawn with chalk on the ground.
America looked kind of disappointed.
"That's it? I was expecting something… flashy."
Ireland stepped inside the room and pointed on the chalk lines.
"Step inside and I will get you to Sweden in a Flash."
"But I… could have teleported us by myself. You don't have to do this.", England murmured and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Wales just gave him a soft smile.
"You are my little brother… and I will help you as much as I can. Your magic is still regenerating and a Teleportingspell needs a lot of concentration and energy. You would collapse, right after you arrived in Sweden, so I will take care of it."
Wales stepped closer to his brother and gave him a little hug.
"Do me a favor… and don't overdo it right now. Wait until your magic is back to its full power, before you use it again. And please.. take care of yourself."
England was bewildered by the kindness of his brother, but hugged him back after he took in what just happened.
"Bloody hell, what's wrong with you, Dilan?"
He laughed a bit and stepped into the circle and dragged America with him inside.
"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself and I also have mister 'hero' with me."
Alfred smiled widely and gave a thumps up to Wales, who was giving England his 'are you serious?'-face.
"I got Iggy's back! Don't worry about it~"
Wales moved to his position and America was still being fidgety as the child he was.
"Dude, this is so intense!"
America grabbed England's shoulder and started to shake him, which made England just sigh.
"Hurry up, Wales, before I do something I will regret later…"
Wales started to concentrate and whispered some words under his breath. The chalk lines started to glow in an orange color and England gave Wales a small nod, before a bright light illuminated the room and when it vanished, America and England were gone. Wales stared at the center of the circle and worry was now crawling up inside of him.
"Take care…"
~.:*:.~
A flash appeared outside of Sweden's house in the forest shortly after the spell was completed in Wales and both America and England stood in the snow of Berwald's home. America sneezed and started to shiver, the second his body took in the coldness of the forest.
"D-dude, it's freezing here!"
"Of course it is, lad.. We are in Sweden after all."
England was shivering as well and clattering his teeth. He walked to the door of Berwald's home and knocked on it.
"Sweden?! Are you home?!"
He waited for a response and was almost relieved, when said nation opened the door in a swift move.
"…'ou cam'.."
Sweden seemed to be surprised to see England and America in front of his house. He didn't expect them to be here so quickly… his call was only an hour ago.
"S-sweden…? I don't want to be rude, but.. it's cold out here."
Berwald shook his head to clear his mind and stepped aside, so both English nations could enter his house.
"S're… c'me insid'.."
America and England ran inside the house and Sweden closed the door behind them.
The three nations walked in the living room shortly after that and England and America were pretty shocked of what they found. The whole room was a mess. Chairs and desks were destroyed and thrown over. Almost all windows were crashed completely, but someone had put up some wood all other the destroyed windows, so the warm temperature in the house wouldn't be lost completely. The fireplace was burning with some of the wood from the destroyed furniture, to keep everyone warm.
All of the Nordics looked pretty pale and almost like they were in shock. Denmark was sitting near the fireplace, just like Finland, who was holding a knocked out Iceland in his arms and kept an eye on his condition.
"What in the queens name happened…?", England whispered almost and wanted to slap himself, to be sure that this is true. Sweden just looked at him with an expression that said everything.
He had no idea himself…
Berwald joined his 'wife' and pointed next to him. Getting the unsaid order, both America and England sat down next to Sweden and waited for an explanation to happen.
"Thank you.. for coming so fast.", Finland spoke softly and gave a half-hearted smile to them.
"What happened, Finland. Tell me everything."
England knew how tensed everyone was and tried to speak as calmly as possible. Finland gave him a short report of what he witnessed. Everyone else stayed quiet, even Denmark, who always spoke without thinking. When Finland finished, a deadly silence fell upon the room, until England regained his voice.
"A man in a black armor… and creatures you say? And Norway said, they were people?"
Finland nodded and England looked over to Sweden.
"You killed some of them, didn't you? Are their bodies still here?"
Sweden didn't answer at first, but then he nodded and looked to another room.
"Th're. We k'pt t'em."
England stood up and walked to the door.
"I will take a look.. maybe I can find out, where they took him."
America stood up as well and followed England to the wooden door.
"H-hey I should come with you. You know, just in case they erm… come back."
"We are not talking about zombies from one of your movies, America."
"J-just saying…"
England opened the door carefully and stepped inside the room. The sight in front of him, made him puke almost. Dead bodies everywhere… furry and covered with their own blood.
"Don't mess with the Nordics.", he whispered and looked to America, who was standing there, like he saw a ghost.
"Are you alright, lad?"
America gulped and looked on the ground in front of him.
"Yeah, sure… it's just.. they look like aliens or something. It reminds me of Tony."
England gave America a sympathetic look.
"I see… you like him a lot, huh?"
"Yap. I really hope he… he will never die, like all the other friends I made, that were not nations. If my government knew, I had an alien as friend.. oh boy, they would take him and cut him open like a can."
England didn't know how to react to this. That Alien and him never really liked each other, but now that England saw how much America loved that strange creature.. maybe he could try and be more friendly to it, the next time he sees it.
He stepped inside the room and to one of the bodies and kneeled down, so he could inspect it.
"This creature reeks of black magic…"
He carefully moved his fingers to the skull and placed them on the cold bone structure, but the moment his fingers made contact to it, a flash of pictures and sounds hit his mind like he got struck by lightning.
Pictures of happiness and sounds of joy and childish laughter, but then it changed into darkness. Screams of pain. Screams for help… So many screams filled with despair. Then pictures of blood.. and Morgan's evil smirk.
England screamed and let go of the skull immediately and fell on his back. America was right by his side and grabbed him.
"England, what's wrong?! Are you alright?!"
"My god… ", England whispered, his face filled with sadness and shock.
"How could she.. how could she do that to them..? Those poor humans…"
America's eyes widened.
"What?! Are you saying those things are humans?! England, snap out of it!"
Alfred shook his former caretaker and looked to the dead bodies when he still didn't get a real response.
"It can't be… that is just sick…"
~.:*:.~
Morgan opened her eyes and moved up from her throne. A smirk appeared on her face.
"Well, what do we have here…? The king has left his castle!"
A blue orb appeared in front of her and showed her the scene that played in the nordics house.
"Oh my. He also has the boy with him… Are you looking for me, love? Well, how about I play with you first."
She moved her fingers a bit and a wooden puppet appeared in front of her and black magic linked to the crystal ball.
"I love a good show~"
