Germany and Russia headed Eastwards further into the Outlands, away from UN's fortress and the horrible memory of yesterday.
"Have you been this way before?" Germany asked as they padded side by side.
"Yeah..." Russia mewed "There's a spring coming up soon so we can rest there tonight and get a drink"
Germany new that this 'spring' was probably just a larger than normal puddle of dirty water. Everything was like that now days, Germany remembered Poland got sick from drinking it once, then they met Antartica and the others heading to the fortress.
Antartica had went on a scout mission to the fortress and never returned. After a few days the wanders had to go forward without there wise and noble leader.
There was a hole poking out of the sandstone cliff side, big enough for a country to fit in. Its probably nothing Germany assured himself. They soon came to the spring Russia talked of and Germanys thoughts were confirmed. Together they great-fully gulped up the water ignoring the dirt flavour.
Suddenly something collided with Germany sending him plummeting, a foreign country leaned over him. Through the dirt and matted fur Germany recognised the flag of Australia. His manic eyes betrayed only three things. He was deranged, insane and out for blood...
Germany stood up and tried to intimidate Australia with his size. That didn't do much Aus was about a head taller and was as well fed as one could get in the Outlands, but Germany was much skinnier.
Russia leapt onto Aus's back. The two where a tangle of claws. Aus managed to get out of his grip and began to attack Germany. He clawed and slashed, until he opened his mouth and bit down hard on Germanys fore leg. The pain seared through Germanys body and he collapsed. Aus didn't finish him off, instead he went back to Russia who had just gotten up.
Darkness flashed in Germanys vision, until finally it took over and Germany fell into the void of sleep.
Germany woke up, he was sore all over.
"Oh! Your awake" Russia said from the front of the cave, he was a shadow amongst the light of the entrance "your hurt, eat this"
Russia pushed forward some charred rodents, which explained the remains of small fire in the corner of the hollow. The ground was made of soft sand and the walls sandstone.
"Where are we?" Germany winced at the pain in his leg.
"You know that cave we spotted? Well it turns out Australia was watching us from it."
"But he might come back and attack us! Neither of us are in any condition to fight!"
Russia looked sorrowful and guilty, "I- I killed him, but it was worth it! He would of killed us both if I hadn't!" He quickly defended himself.
Germany nodded and went back to eating the rodents, not questioning were they came from, before going to sleep in a sandy, but comfortable, nest.
