Secrets Of A Superpower

~Part Nine~ (pt2)

Mexico sighed as he flipped the page, his anger having calmed down with the deep breathing he was doing, though it still burned inside him. He wore a small glare as he skimmed over the next page, just not able to get that thought out of his head; why would America keep that big of a secret? From his family..?

A harsher thought appeared quickly after, though. "What if America doesn't think of him as family?" But... From the looks of things, he wouldn't have told anybody, he has a tendency as they've all seen to keep things secret... Maybe, there was no intention beyond that, just to keep it a secret, not because of hostility or out of spite or anything, he just didn't want anybody to know.

Still, Diego found he couldn't let this go. It hurt him, that Alfred would hide things from even them, Canada included since he could guess if Matthew wasn't there, he wouldn't have known either.

He shook out of his thoughts, feeling the stares of the nations around him, he couldn't keep everybody waiting could he? They all wanted to be done as soon as possible, so... It was probably a good idea to start again.

1863

Will i actually survive? Will this ever really end?

'Great start by the looks of things.' Mexico mentally scoffed.

He's winning. I don't know how but he's winning. Does this mean I'll die and he replaces me? I don't want to think that but.. i just can't stop wondering about it.

How is he winning? How is just 11 states, compared to my 22 and the border states too! I have a huge population compared to his, and I've been in wars before! How is he winning??

It just looks to me like incompetence.

No, i am not incompe

Then explain how you're loosing so badly. This is like the revolution you had, but worse.

If it's like the revolution, guess who won in the end.

Luck was on your side that day. He decided not to kill you, he decided that. If he did decide to kill you, you would have lost. In a sense, he should have killed you, so he could win, but no. He let you live. That whole war, wouldn't you say it was an accident too? It was a miracle you survived, it was an accident you somehow still stand. You don't have a clue what you're doing, your just doing things right sometimes, wrong every other time. Maybe, i can finally fix the mess your in, since wouldn't you know, he seems to like me more than you.

If anything, i think i should actually take your place. I would do better anyways, you can't handle government as well as i could, just look at yours. That president... He doesn't know what he's doing. Your people are angry, they want this over. You and him are continuing it, and letting your men get slaughtered.

Maybe the best coarse of action is to let me kill you. It would be better for the country. You are incompetent to lead a country, incompetent to lead a war on a smaller and weaker country too.

If you die, i can make things so much better, you know? But now, it's up to me, not him, not you, me. And I'm killing you as soon as possible.

So, just do us all a favor and die, Union.

Should I...? Maybe... I can't now. No, i can't do it right now, but... Maybe....

Should i really? Will it be better...?

If   im   gone   ?

Everyone's eyes widened in alarm, everyone staring at the Mexican, said Latino staring down at the book with a horrified expression. He felt everyone's eyes on him, although this just caused more pressure to grow in the room, especially on the nation in question's shoulders.
