The Runaway States (State/country humans) [Being Rewritten]

Chapter 5

"How are we gonna manage this, Nada?" Aussie asked his brother. They had called all the states back to Ame's house to explain the situation. If the states were on edge before, now they were terrified. "I don't know, there's 46 of them and 2 of us. And they aren't exactly the most calm of kids." Replied the Canadian. "I had to stop the one of them from murdering another one because she apparently called avacdos a super food instead of potatoes!" Nada said.

"We need to call someone who can help, but who?" Nada said. The two stood there in silence for a minute, until they heard running from a nearby hallway. "Get back here you damn southerner." Yelled one of us states Aussie had yet to learn the name of. Canada groaned, "ugh I'll handle it just call someone I don't even care who at this point." Nada said as ran after the states, leaving Aussie as the lone country in room. 'Who could I call' Aussie thought. 'Maybe Mexico would know something about the southern states? No, the one with cowboy hat would be furious.' he dismissed the idea. He needed to find someone, someone who might have met the states. "I've got it!" Nada said to himself. He went threw his contacts until he found his cousin. "Hey Scotland." Aussie said. "I need a favor..."

"We're here." Georgia said raising his hand. The peach state had led them to the peak of a mountain. The hike up was difficult, considering how steep the mountain was. But they were finally at their destination. It was anticlimactic, in a sense. There was only a lone tree at the peek. "This is it?" North wined.

"What did you expect, it's supposed to be a hidden grave." Georgia said, emphasizing the word 'hidden'.

"Let's just do this thing so we can get on with our lives." North conceded. Georgia nodded, "Fine. lets do this thing." He took off his pack before pulling out his stolen book. "According to dad's book, all we have to do is read this section next to the grave." He said pointing to a part of the book in bold. Florida looked closely to see the text. It read,

Oh those of the other side, whom have crossed the forever threshold. We seek to return thee from their shackles of death. I wish to save thogh from their prison of bone and decay.

"So, if this is so dangerous, who's reading it?" Florida asked. The states weren't sure, they all wanted to volunteer to spare their siblings, the all shared this thought. Finally Georgia grabbed some sticks from the ground, "I guess we draw sticks, shortest stick reads."

"Seems fair." North said. "On three then!" Florida said. The three counted, 1....2.....3. Georgia blindly grabbed one. He checked to see the length, and held it out to his brothers, "looks like I'm up." He said. Florida looked hesitant to let his brother do something so dangerous, but he didn't say anything. "We'll be right here." North said, trying to be reassuring. Georgia walked over to the light pile of dirt that buried Dixie. He sighed, "here we go..."

He started to chant from the book, "oh those of the other side," he began. Georgia felt like his heart was pounding a mile a minute as he continued threw the chant. "We seek to return thee," he continued. Florida clenched his teeth. North made a fist with his hand. "I wish to save thee from the prison of bone and decay."

At first nothing happened. Georgia's mind raced. 'Had something gone wrong? Did he need to try again, was any of this even real?' Then a blinding white light erupted in front of him, and his vision faded to black.
