The real monster / Reich x Sowjet

Chapter 3

Reich went to bed earlier than usual today because she just wants to distract herself and didn't want to live in so-called reality anymore. A big wish of hers was simply to forget everything that happened in her past forever or to sink into another world.

She watched all sorts of series for a few hours until she turned off the box and threw all the pillows off the bed. After getting rid of all the pillows, she took out her stuffed animals and put them all against the wall of the bed, where her head was also.

She clung to one of the stuffed animals because she had no one else to hug. After about three hours she finally fell asleep. She woke up, undressed and went into the kitchen, where her father had already made breakfast for her and her siblings.

Afterwards she went to school, where she was immediately surrounded by some boys about her own age. Since some of them were sitting on the benches and she wanted to be away from the others, she had to walk close to the benches.

Reich already knew someone was going to trip her, so she turned her normal walking into powerful kicks. When the boy tried to trip her, she kicked his foot like a stone and heard the boy yell at her, but it was his own fault.

Then she felt herself being pushed to the ground and a few boys surrounding her. She got up and went to the classroom, but a wall of classmates blocked her way. One of them grabbed her, but she knew how to escape the grip.

However, before she could try to free herself, someone hit her stomach with his fist. More hits followed, but she hardly felt them anymore because everything melted into a dense fog. Suddenly she woke up as a wolf by a stream in the middle of a beautiful green forest.

It was fairly quiet there except for the birds that flew about and chirped from the tallest trees. Reich slowly walked closer to the stream and drank from it. The water was clear and inhabited by fish, the stones were mostly green, suggesting the water was definitely drinkable.

It tasted fresh and quenched her thirst well. Suddenly the wolf heard a bear cub coming towards her from the other bank. Reich knew right away that his parents would be close by, so she'd rather leave than get in trouble.

But she heard the bear cub run through the water and towards her. It blocked her way and wanted to play with the wolf, but she couldn't. The bear cub didn't give up until she finally gave in. They played catch together until, as expected, one of the adult bears ran towards them. Reich quickly ran away until she fell and everything disappeared.

It was the middle of the night when Russia was awakened by an animal howling. He got up and wanted to find out where it came from, so he snuck past his sisters and out of the room. His father had already gone to sleep. When he got downstairs he got the key from the kitchen and unlocked the back door.

He walked out slowly and carefully. Although Russia was afraid, his curiosity was stronger. Suddenly he heard rustling in the trees. Turns out it was just the wind. Russia waited and was already getting paranoid. After a short time he went back to the door until he heard rustling again.

Looking behind, little Russia a creature standing in the non-moonlit part of the garden, turning its head in a way that made it look less dangerous. It got closer to Russia so he could see the white dog-like animal better.

He held out his hand and the creature sniffed at it before licking it. The little Countryhuman giggled, then he stroked the animal's head. The fur was so soft and fluffy. Shortly thereafter, Russia knelt down to be able to pet it better.

Then it tried to lick his face, which made him giggle. He hugged the animal and it laid its head on his shoulder like a human, which surprised him but also pleased him. He liked this friendly animal. He asked the animal: "Do you want to play ball with me?"

Russia didn't know why, but it seemed to him that she started to smile. So he got the ball and threw it at her, whereupon she nudged the ball his way with her snout. They continued playing like this for a while until the two heard someone, but they didn't know where it came from.

Shortly after, Russia heard his father shout at the door: "Russia away from that thing at once!" "It's so nice.", Russia said confused. "Get away from it!", roared Soviet Union. The wolf was confused and didn't understand what was going on. But when she realized the man had a gun, she ran away in fear.

Russia was shocked when his father aimed his rifle at the friendly animal, so he intervened. "Son what are you doing?" "I protect the wolf!" Soviet Union put down the rifle and still didn't understand his son's reaction.
