Haunted

Not Him

Philippines's POV

I couldn't sleep the whole time.

I know sleep is important but that muffled noise was keeping me up all night.

I flinched when someone knocked on the door.

"Good morning Philippines are you awake? If you are it's time for breakfast!" I heard the person at the door say.

I slowly walked towards the door, making sure not to bump into something since i'm very tired.

I opened a door and was met with a hug. "Good morning again!" Japan said happily.

"Good morning Japan." I said in a tired way.

"Oh gosh Philippines, did you sleep at all? You look very tired...I can let you sleep if you want to." Japan said worriedly.

"No no, we have to leave anyway might as well eat." I said.

"Alright then."

When we both went down we saw everyone at the table already eating food.

"Oh hey, your breakfast is right over there." Germany said, pointing at the one with rice and eggs.

"Heck yeah! Food!" I said excitedly.

"Weren't you just tired a while ago-"

"Did you guys sleep well last night?" Romania interrupted.

"Yes." All of them said, it looks like none of them heard the noise from earlier.

"Actually, I didn't sleep at all..." they all looked at me.

"Why?"

"There was this noise, It's hard to explain what it was since it was muffled....But it kept me up all night..."

Romania's eyes began to widen.

"Was it close to a scream?" Romania said worriedly.

"I guess so--? I don't know i'm too tired to remember what it sounded like."

Romania looked panicked for a bit.

"Is there something wrong Romania?" Japan asked.

"I-I need to go outside for a few hours or two....dont leave each other alone." Romania walked up and went outside the kitchen, we heard the door open and closed after a few seconds.

"That was odd..."

I noticed something missing.

"Where's Russia? Did he wake up?"

"Oh! I tried knocking his door before yours and he didn't respond, he might have been sleeping still so we can wait!" Japan said.

"Alright, Wanna play some games while we wait for him?"

"Sure!" America said.

We were all playing games, truth or dare,tag which we had to stop because America and Japan accidentally dropped so many stuff while getting chased, and decided to play hide and seek instead.

Germany was counting while we were all running around while trying to find some place to hide.

I went inside my room and hid under the bed, I know it's not very creative but so many areas were restricted, especially the garden for some reason.

It took many minutes? Hours? I don't really know, there isn't really a clock inside my room.

I saw someone opening the door... I thought it was Germany for a few seconds......

But it wasn't him.
