The Hero

10: A secret place

Natrista's P.O.V.

Placing my feet on my side of the island I couldn't help but feel at home. It was nice to be back. Even if it was for not so happy reasons. But we were going to find Ryter, that's what we were here to do.

"Follow me to her side of the island." I said heading towards our little border. Our border wasn't that special. It's just a bridge that goes across the creek that divides our sides of the island. People could jump across the creek if they really wanted to.

"Where is it? Where's the border dude?" America asked.

"We just crossed it." I said as I took the first step onto Ryter's land. America looked at me in confusion and I laughed.

"That's it? That little bridge is your border?" He asked in what seemed to be awe. I nodded and started to look around.

"Yep. Unlike you guys we don't really have to worry about any crime or things like that. Sure a fight might break out once in a while but it's nothing Ryter and I can't handle."

"So zhat creek is you border?" Germany asked, his hand on his chin.

"Yea, the creek splits our island right in two." I turned to look at the group. "Okay we should split up and look for her. If she's here then she'll be on her side. We meet here at sunset."

With that we separated.

Ryter's P.O.V.

I felt it when Natrista, America, Germany, Prussia, Italy, France, England, and Japan all stepped on my land. I wanted to yell out to them, do something that would make them notice me. But I couldn't. Not with Russia threatening to kill me.

It's not that I was scared to die, it's just that all the citizen would die as well. I didn't want that to happen. Couldn't let that happen. Even if it meant I was Russia's prisoner for ever.

No, I wasn't going to do that. I couldn't get out know but I could get out when Russia was at the next world meeting. If, no, when I got out all I would have to do is touch Natrista's land. If I did that then she would know I was here on our island. It was the only plan I had and I had a whole month to plan how to do it.

Third persons P.O.V.

Natrista looked everywhere and couldn't find Ryter. She huffed and headed back to the meeting spot. Everyone was already there when she got there. She looked at them and shook her head telling them she hadn't found them.

"Where's Italy?" Natrista asked when she noticed the Italian was missing. Germany's eyes widened and he turned in a full circle. Everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Italy!" America called as everyone split to look for Italy. America searched like everyone else before he stopped in his tracks. "Dudes I found him!" He yelled for everyone.

"Italia!" Germany said as he ran towards the Italian.

"Ve~ Doitsu!" Italy said as he turned away from the wall he was staring at. It was a solid brick wall that seemed to be closed off to everything else.

"Emily, what's behind the wall?" Italy asked and Natrista looked away.

"I- I don't know Italy. I've never actually been over there. Ryter has always forbid it." Natrista said a little discouraged. "She's not over there though, I know that much. She wouldn't not tell us if she were just coming home."

"But what if-" America cut England off.

"We have to trust Natrista. If she says Ryter's not over there then she's not over there." He turned away and headed to the boat and we all followed. Once on the boat Italy took Germany aside.

"Doitsu, I feel as if something's over there. It may not be Ryter but there is something. I just don't know what it is." Italy said a little unsure.

"Just leave it Italia. But we will find Ryter okay?" Germany said answering Italy's next question. Italy nodded before running up deck with everyone else.

Germany sighed and hoped Ryter was okay. For right now who ever had her was hiding her pretty good. Now all they could do is wait to find her. They needed a lead.
