The Hero

8: Revealings

Ryter's P.O.V.

I could hear voices around me but I couldn't make out to who's they belonged to. I tried to open my eyes and they only cracked half way open. The effects from the drug that they put me to sleep was still wearing off. And about twenty minutes later I was finally able to open my eyes.

"I see your finally awake." A voice I didn't recognize greeted me. My eyes shot towards them and I instantly recognized Belarus. Sure I hadn't met her before, as in talked to her, but I recognize her from the world meetings.

"What do you want with me?" I asked as she just continued to clean under her finger nails with a knife. She paused for a moment before looking at me.

"Im making sure you don't over throw Big Bruder." Was her simple remark.

"Where are we?"

"On a ship."

"Where are we going?"

"Your country since nobody knows where it is besides Natrista, but I'm pretty sure she won't think of looking for you there."

"Who's steering the ship?"

"Big Bruder."

"Who's idea was it to kidnap me?"

"Would you shut up already!" Belarus yelled at me. "Or I'll kill you now instead of letting Big Bruder do it."

"Why does he want me to dissolve?" I asked and she stood from where she was sitting. She took a step towards me and it took every thing in me not to flinch away. I couldn't be afraid of her. Well I could I just couldn't let anyone know it.

"She awake, da?" Russia asked from up on deck. Belarus stared at me for a second before she went on deck to answer her brother's question.

Thinking quickly I looked around the room for something to cut the rope around my wrists. Finding a sword behind some barrels I quickly retrieved it. I cut the rope and quietly ascended the stairs. But when I was about halfway up I had a better idea.

Moving quickly I went back into the room. I grabbed the sword and put it in the scabbard that was beside it. I then went towards the window and climbed out of it. Picking my choice I started to climb up. It wasn't that hard to climb since I had had years of practice.

Once up I peeked through the rails and looked as Belarus and Russia made there way below deck. Moving quietly I jumped over the railing and was about to put a knife to the person steering the ship when I noticed where we were. Staring at the island I couldn't help but feel a little happy that I was back home. I was so happy I nearly jumped in the water and swam to shore.

But then the person steering the ship turned around. He pulled out a sword and swung it at me. I reacted quickly and drew my own sword. I blocked him and pushed him away. He stumbled past the wheel and fell off of the deck and onto the one below.

Russia and Belarus came up on deck and soon noticed me. They ran towards me and as they were halfway up the stairs I jumped and grabbed a lose rope. I swung and made it to the bow of the ship. When they recovered from their shock they came toward me, with swords drawn. I smirked and let the first person come after me.

He swung sloppily and I easily blocked it before kicking him so he fell over board. I didn't want to kill anyone if I could help it. All these people, were humans and could die easily. I didn't want to be the one to end their already short lives.

All of a sudden five people came at me at once. I blocked one and then the other. It was quite simple to fight them since the were slowest and weaker than me. But no matter how many came at me I wouldn't kill one. I would either hit them with my sword so they'd fall unconscious or make them fall overboard.

Belarus and Russia just stood and watched me until there were only us standing. Belarus glared when Russia looked a bit nervous. I wonder why? Why would the biggest country in the world be nervous?

"Stand down or else we'll fire on your country. We'll kill every Ryterian if you don't put down your sword." Belarus smirked.

"But you have no one to load the cannons for you. And I garrenty you don't know how to do it yourself."

"You may be right but I can go with a different tactic." Belarus said before jumping from the ship and onto the ground below. I followed her and saw as she grabbed a little blond and put her knife to the blinds throat.

"I can kill them off one by one if you'd like?"

I looked at the little blond and lowered my sword so the tip was on the ground. The girl looked at me and I instantly recognized her. Zoey, currently the youngest person in my country. She was four and her mother had just recently gotten pregnant with her little brother or sister who was not born yet.

"Riley, you don't have to give into them." Zoey said trying to be brave. But I just shook my head and dropped my sword. I kicked the sword away and Belarus let her go. Once Zoey was out of her grip she came running towards me.

"You didn't have to save me Riley. Not if that means you getting hurt." Zoey said as she wrapped her arms around me. I bent down and picked her up.

"I couldn't let them hurt you Zoey. I won't let them. I won't let them hurt any of you." I said and she nodded.

"You know you shouldn't have a close relationship with them like you do. It seems as if everyone in your country knows you and knows the truth about you." Russia said and I rolled my eyes.

"They may know of me, but they never say a word. And sure I have a close relationship with them but that's my choice." I state.

"Then that just means that it's going to hurt you even more when we kill them all."

Natrista's P.O.V.

"Have you guys found anything yet?" I asked as I joined up with America, the axis powers, and Prussia. I was starting to get worried. It's been three days and she hasn't made contact with any of us.

"No we haven't. It's as if she has totally disappeared. I don't like it dude." America said and it looked as if he was trying not to punch something. I looked over at Italy to see he was crying like the world was ending. And when anyone went to comfort him he would just shoo them away. It was if he didn't want to get close to anyone.

"How long has Italy been like this?" I asked Germany. He looked at Italy sadly before looking at me.

"About two days now. And I feel as if he's going to be like zhat until Ryter returns. And if she doesn't return? It vill take him a vhile to get over her."

"Wait are you saying Italy has feelings for Ryter?"

"Nein. Not zhe kind of feeling your zhinking about. But with in the month you guys have been know they seemed to have become close friends."

I processed this for a moment. I knew it wasn't the time for gossip but any little thing could help find Ryter. I wanted to find her, and so did everyone else in the room. It's just that we don't know where to look.
