Endless Grief |Book 2| ❤(Countryhumans) ❤

Italy

All I heard was unclear mumbling, I couldn't hear it all since most of the time I tried to push the phantoms back. I then heard footsteps coming down the stairs, shit, is it F.I or Erick? Erick should be asleep now, better hide. I hid behind the large couch and turned off my flashlight as the footsteps reached the first floor, I took a peak over and saw a figure turning to a door. The room is dark so I can't recognize the country or figure, wait I turned off my flashlight. I turned around as phantoms started to crawl towards me, maybe the compass could help, please help. I took out my mother's compass and held it in my hands, a phantom got close to me and started to scream as a part of its skin was glowing red. The countries touched it, and it also burned them, but as Erick held it it didn't burn him. A spell must have been casted, wait are my parents wizards and witches? Nah, that's really hard to believe, I have been living with them for so long. They are just regular humans that somehow have another child in another world. The fuck is going on?

"Ugh, il fait si sombre ici." the person rubbed their neck. (Ugh, it's so dark in here)

Suddenly I understood what they just said, wait I thought I no longer could understand different languages. Did I get the spell or whatever back? The language sounds like....French.... Shit, they are here. I knew they were holding F.I and Italy hostage. Suddenly another figure approached France, and I noticed the phantoms were gone, yay.

"France, have they arrived?" I heard an English accent speak, either America or Britain.

I crossed my fingers hoping it was America.

"Non, I don't know, F.I should have told us ve have his son." France replied "Where is F.I's son anyway?"

Great, I can learn where they are keeping him. And when they are gone I can rescue him, and get the heck out.

"Locked him in his room, I was thinking about the basement, but it is too cold." the other figure said " I am only helping you two, because of her."

"Oui, oui, watch out for J.E, he has some beef with you." and with that I watched France leave, instead of going back upstairs, he went down to the basement.

Thats, America then, knowing the history about him and J.E. America sighed and followed France, I guess that's where they are hiding. Once the doors of the basement was shut, I tiptoed back up the stairs. I need to see if Italy is really in there. Heard in the news the Soviet is right now attacking Finland, oof, that's going to be a shame. I located the doors and found Italy's room far from ours and his fathers. Quickly I rushed towards there, I grabbed on to the door knob. Wait what if someone else is in there, could be a soldier, or worse Britain. I took a deep breath knowing what I have to do, I slowly twisted the knob but it stopped halfway. Shit they locked the door. I pressed my ears against the door, but heard no sound. I stuffed the compass in my pockets and took out a paper clip.

"Thank god Otto taught me how to pick locks." I sighed and started to mess with it.

Just then I heard a door opening, so I quickly hid behind a big vase. Kneeling down I saw F.I exiting out his room as Britain and France quickly came upstairs.

"So are they here yet, it's has been what 5 days." Britain whispered quietly but harsh at F.I

"N-no, not y-y-yet." He stuttered.

I heard Britain scoff as F.I turned around and walked back into his room. He turned to France.

"Courtney better be here, because Third is coming to Italy." Britain placed his hands behind his back.

"Vhen?" France asked

"I say tomorrow after noon, but I placed a few traps on their way so it should take them 2 days at least." Britain said.

The two start to head downstairs, and I start to unlock the door. I thought I was doing something incorrectly until I heard a click. I stood up straight, and slowly turned the knob, this time it went fully. I let out a breath before slowly opening the door, there were no guards in the room. The room was dark and I could have left thinking no one was in there, but out of the corner of my eyes I saw movements. On the bed, which I am 99% sure is Italy, I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight. There laid Italy, sleeping under the cover.

"Italy?" I whispered taping on the country's shoulder. "Hey wake up!"

I heard a groan from him, he turned around towards me and I could fully see his face. The green, white, and red stripes. His eyes fluttered open, and upon seeing me he was about to let out a scream. I quickly covered his mouth with my hands, thank god the doors were closed. I lifted a finger over my lips, he got it and quickly nodded. I took my hands off him and took a step back.

"Chi sei?" He asked (Who are you?)

"I don't know if you understand English, but I know your dad and I am here to save you." I quietly said

"You're on my dad's side?" he asked, eyes widened "I never seen you before, are you a new country?"

"First of all I am not on the Axis powers side, secondly no I am not a country." I said. "Come on let's get you out of here, I wonder why there is no one here to watch you?"

Italy lifted the blankets to answer my question, I let out an "O". One of his ankles was chained on the ground, long enough to go around, but not long enough to reach the doors. Italy frowned as he sat up, head hung low.

"Are you with the allies?" He asked as he starts to sniffle "Do yoy work for them?"

I knelt down and laced a hand over his shoulders.

"No, Italy, I am on no one's side." He looked up at me and I stood up. "Listen I will be back with a friend and we can break you free."

He nodded and I started to head out.

"Wait." Italy suddenly said, and I stopped in my tracks.

"Who are you and your friends?" he asked

I turned my head as far as I could, giving him a smile.

"The name is Courtney, I am with Erick, West and East." I could see Italy smile a bit and I went out.

The challenge begins now, a new mission to save Italy and get out. I locked the doors and went back to my own room, and then quickly pulling up my phone I sent a message to Erick. I don't want to explain to him tomorrow, he'll have to look at his messages.

Eirck, You won't believe what I figured out.....
