A promise is a promise (Chapter 6)

Third persons POV

"I already told you everything I fucking know !" Erick shouted at the red country while J.E was being ordered to force his head in a bucket of cold water.

The paint of Erick's face was off, revealing his pretty skin color. And you can tell what happen, interrogations happened. Not like those good cop bad cop, it's more of a bad cop and even worse cop.

"Lies." Reich growled before signaling J.E to shove his head back in the water.

Erick being prepared held his breath as long as he could as his head was being forced back in the water. How did this story turn? They were just playing a good game of Uno to Erick being tortured by water. While the poor boy was suffering, F.I went to look through the house looking for Courtney. Unknowingly to him, Courtney was already behind him following him through the place. Courtney had already found the black cat and hid it in her backpack, thinking that following the Italian would lead her to Erick. They have been going around circles and circles until Courtney gave up and decided to go search for Erick herself. Upon arriving back in the meeting room, she sees Rectangle siting in one of the seats surrounded with thoughts. Courtney pretended that she can't see The Rectangular county and look around the room for Erick.

"I know you can see me, don't hid it."

Courtney ignored the words that came out of Rectangle. Turning around she started to walk out of the room-

"Why did you come back Courtney?"

She froze, how was her disguise that terrible and anyone can see through it?

"So you are, Courtney."

The country behind her sounded surprised, and that's when the girl know she got tricked. It was very difficult for anyone to mess with her since her guards are always up, but this time she let her guard down at the wrong time. She can't pretend anymore, Rectangle knows it. Courtney has to reveal herself, there is no choice. She turned around on her heels facing the rectangle head country.

"I haven't seen you in years."

"Y-yeah, long time no see." She scratched the back of her head.

Rectangle then stood up from his seat, making Courtney feel unsafe. Is he angry at her, will he hurt her? The answer is no, Rectangle could never EVER harm the small child. He towers over Courtney looking down at her, in his mind she looks exactly last time he saw her. Short hair, one blue eye and sharp teeth. The only thing different is there is a bit of white hair growing, not because she is old. Something is happening to her. He tried to hug her, but Courtney backed away from the big country.

"You think I didn't know about the Great War that everyone one I knew was in?" Courtney looked at Rectangle with a bit of dissapointment in her eyes. "All the horrible events thats put on innocent civilians, you think I didn't know about it?

Rectangle looked to his side not knowing what to say, she must seen him differently now as a evil country that Reich has turned into aswell. Rectangle was with G.E's plan to invade Belgium and send notes to Mexico to attack USA, but now he has changed and went against Reich's plan. Even though he changed he is still the even being he is, he only changed for her the figure he sees as his comfortor and daughter.

"I wasn't myself that time."

"Thats not an excuse, when people are not themselves they would try to seek help from others." Courtney crosssed her arms and took a deep breath "But what is done is done, it already ended and now a new war has arose."
