Endless Grief |Book 2| ❤(Countryhumans) ❤

Something is up

Dinner was okay, it would have been an awkward one if West and East hadn't started a conversation with F.I and all. The food was decent as well, I love the sauce. After dinner F.I brought a plate of food for Italy and left us alone, he went upstairs as we stayed down stairs. It's weird how F.I didn't want us to use the sink, it worked perfectly fine when I went to wash my hands. F.I made us promise to not wash the paint off. Secondly, he seems way too worried. The first time I told him who we are he almost went pale, didn't Third already inform him before? My suspicion is he is being threatened, but Erick said he is just stressed about his son and he now needs to take care of us. I mean F.I does seem very very stressed, that's the problem with being a country.

"Okay so what's the plan?" I clapped my hands together and looked at Erick.

"Why are you asking me?" Erick layed on the big sofa "You're the boss."

"I need help coming up with the plan, in case America comes through that door." I said "I mean where can we go?"

"Po- that other guy, Japan!" Erick snapped his fingers "We can go there, but I don't think we need to go through."

"Why."

"Uh F.I can protect us, and we can wait for the war." Erick said

"But don't you notice there are literally no guards stationed anywhere here?!" I gestured to the room. "Not a single one, plus what year is it now?"

Before Erick could answer, West came over holding his brother's hand and wanted to play a game. We played many rounds of Tic Tac Toe, with Germany winning almost all the rounds as Erick grabbed some. I turned to East asking him what year it was. He said, 1939, then asked why. I lied that I have bad memories, so two more years and the war ends, for the better. Shit, then the cold war starts and the two Germany would be separated. What can I do, I can't interfere with the war, it would trigger the future. Chocolate came over running around and rested on my lap, I softly stroked her black fur. Her green eyes stared into my blue and brown one. What makes me uneasy is that during this whole time F.I hasn't come down, maybe he is just spending time with the sick Italy.

"I'm a bit tired." Erick yawned "Shall we all call it a night?"

"Ja."

"Ja.'

"Ye."

I offered to clean things up as Erick takes West and East upstairs. I was left in the living putting away papers and cleaning the table. Then I heard a creak, behind me. Immediately I spun around and activated my eye, chards appeared around me. A crackle was heard behind the darkness, the temperature was decreasing now. Shit, now it hit me, phantoms. I grabbed one of the floating shards closest to me and threw it in the darkness, I don't care if it hit anything not. The shards distracted them for a mear moment and I sprinted upstairs turning off the lights behind me. Choco was already in front of me, standing right infront of my room. I quickly opened the door and slipped in, locking it behind me. There is no bathroom with it, I don't need to watch out for two doors now. Choco ran under the bed as I sat on top of it, I grabbed my phone and went on it, Erick is the only person on my list. I called him even though he is just the room across from me.

"Erick you there?" I called through the other line.

"Yeah, I am here and can't sleep." I heard him groan. "Why are you calling?"

"Just want to make sure your safe." I swallowed air. " I spotted the phantoms downstairs so I ran up."

"First time hearing you and seeing you this scared, you used to be fearless." Erick chuckled, "This world really ruined you."

"You have no idea."

"Okay our main thing here is to find  information about your family, and then we get out of here." 

I stayed silent, do I really want to go back and live my life boring again?

"Or, we can come back after the war is over." I whispered

"No, Courtney, that's dangerous, we would ruined history." he said

"What if our world won't be affected by it?" I asked "We can try-"

"No."

Erick was firm on his option, even if I fight against him I can't change his mind.

"Fine, but I don't fully agree on the whole plan." I quickly said.

"Okay, good night." Erick hung up.

I took a quick look at the door, they must be standing in front of it, or left. The worst timing then happened, I left the compass on the couch. My mother's compass, shoot how can I forget about it? I reached into my backpack and pulled out a flashlight, it looks like the magical backpack knows what I need. Where is that spirit guardian that is supposed to be with me? I guess he left thinking I was safe, well I'll leave him be. I got out of my bed, still in my Pj's, and slowly I opened the door, I turned on my flashlight. If they can't harm me during the day, then they can't touch me if there is light. I silently walked down the stairs, and downstairs there was a huddle of phantoms. Their heads turned towards me, like owls. I held tight to my flashlight, flashing on them. They all quickly avoided the light making a path for me, I made my way to the couch and there on the table was my mother's compass. Immediately I snatched it and shoved it into my pocket, as I made my way back to my room I heard noises behind a door. Now I know I shouldn't be eavesdropping but I want to know why F.I's like this. 

(POV changed) 

 It's only the beginning of the war and it's already going to shit, at least I invaded Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and a few I forgot. What I don't want is America to join the war, lucky he hasn't, but he is supplying the allies. J.E has some beef with him, I made sure for him not to attack America orelse my plan is going to shit. I lost Courtney again for the SECOND TIME, curse the Allies, France is going to regret it. He has been a pain in my head for so damn long, F.I called me yesterday saying they arrived, but he sounded distraught. The Allies already flew there, they knew I sent them to F.I, Britain threatened me that if I try anything to warn F.I he will harm my sons and F.I's son. So many things could have happened, what if they caught her and her friends? The Soviet went back to his countries, he went to invade a country, Finland I believe. He was beaten up badly, if he is that weak I could invade him and I could take over the world. But first thing first, I need to get my sons, Courtney, and Erick guy. I exited my room, after gearing myself. I got a plane ready to take me to Italy, I went downstairs and immediately got stopped by my brother.

"Wo gehst du hin?" He asked me (Where are you going?)

"Das geht Sie nichts an." I rolled my eyes and brushed past him. Why does he want to know everything? (None of your business)

"Wenn es um Ihre Söhne und Courtney geht, dann komme ich mit." Weimar said behind me. (If it's about your sons and Courtney, I'm coming.)

"Nein." I hissed back hoping he would back off, of course he wouldn't.

"Du kannst mich nicht von ihnen fernhalten, TR!" Weimar angrily yelled "Wir sind eine Familie, sie ist unsere Schwester!" (You can't keep me away from them, TR!, We are a family, she is our sister!)

I didn't say anything, Weimar was right about that. I can't keep him away, and as if the situation isn't already bad, my father came. Weirmar told him where I was going, and he also said he will come as well. As I was about to answer, grandfather came in with HRE, now the whole family is coming. I let out a sigh knowing I can't fight and argue against all of them. My first defeat, lucky the plane was big enough to fight all.

"lass uns gehen." I sighed (Lets go)
