2~. Trying To Sleep Alone

Japanese Empire POV

It was awkward the entire ride.
I really wanted to brighten the silence with a joke, so I whisper it to Facist.
I nudge him gently,for I was sat behind the driver, he was in the middle with Soviet on the other side, and Reich in the 2nd front seat next to the driver.

He looks at me.
"What?"
He whispers.
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
I whisper back.
"Why?"
"To get to the idiots house. Knock knock"
"Who is there-?"
"The chicken"
He cracks a small amused smile, laughing quietly, and rolling his eyes at me.
It made me feel warm inside so I sat back and was quiet, smiling to myself.

On the other hand, Soviet was frowning out of the window and Reich was reading a piece of paper out of a backpack he had.
Where did he get that from?
I shake the thought. He's My Reich- Boss. I meant Boss- he would never hide anything from me..right?
I sigh.

After an hour of driving we arrive at a manor, it was quite big. Not bigger than the German family one as I remember, but it was big.
This must have been the English Family Manor, or whatever it was called.

The driver escorts us out and to the front door, which had many flower pots filled with different shades of blue flowers.
It was pretty I guess...

The driver knocks on the door, which was opened by EU, a smug, tallish...woman I believe, who had a golden halo around their head and golden eagle wings.
"They have been sent by Germany, Madame"
The driver says.
Yep, Woman.

She looks at us all and nods, moving out the doorway to let us in.

We all are hesitant staying outside, other than fascist, who just walks on in. Slowly followed by Soviet, then me and then Reich, who was clutching the bag he had in his hands.

EU looks at us all, shutting the door.
"Listen, I know you all were crazy hippies but we have a few rules in this house. Understand?"
The majority of us nod as she continues.
"One, No ruff housing , two, don't steal anything, I will know about it, three, If anything happens to any of you, you report it to me or one of the other members in the house, and Finally, be respectful"
She finishs.

I hated this already.
No ruff housing???
Wow.
They really are snobs-

"You all have separate rooms, seen as so this place is massive-"
EU says, leading us up the stairs and continueing to speak,
"Spare clothes will be provided in the morning, and you can pick at your choosing what you would like. But for now, go sleep, these are the four spare rooms"
She gestures to four doors, which were all open, each room was basically the same.
We all separate into rooms, as EU heads back down the stairs, I take a proper look at the room.

The room had a double bed, a window with shut plainnwhite curtains, a desk and a lamp, that was it.
It was cramped but I could make it work.

Soviet POV

The room was definitely spare, it was basically empty and plain.
Why are they being so...good to us? Especially Reich...
Shocking to me.
The threes behavior hasn't changed much, although, Empire seemed more attached to Reich then she usually is...
Wait why the hell do I care?
They can do what they want-
Facist is Facist.
He seemed no different.

I sit on the bed, looking at the clock, it was in 24 hour, good. Its the only kind of clock I can understand properly.
On it, it said: 22:35.
Only 10:35pm?
What else could I do in here other than sleep at the moment?
I'm not sleeping in here.
What if this is a trick?

Facist Italy POV

I had nearly been asleep for a couple hours , until I heard banging and crashing from someone's room.
I thought we were sleeping alone?
But then I heard a window open and I knew immediately who's room it was from.
I get up quickly, shoving my shirt back on and running out and into Reichs room.
He wasn't supposed to be alone!
It's just like old times..

His door was locked.
Shit.
Empire comes out of her room, also knowing what was going on.
Together, we kicked down the door.
It probably woke Soviet up but he didn't know and frankly probably didn't care.
We both run in.

The walls were covered in scratches and holes punched into it.
He tried fighting it?
The window was open.
Empire doesn't notice it, looking around the rest of the room.
I go to the window, looking out of it.

Japanese Empire POV

I look to the small clock on the floor.
01:17.
He shouldnt have been alone.
How could I have been so stupid!?
How could I forget!?

I look to Facist, who was climbing out of the window.
"Facist, we are two floors up!"
"I've jumped from higher, trust me-"
"You won't land on all fours!"
"Yeah, I'm not a cat Empire, that's you!"
"Yes I know that! Your a rat! Literally and physically! Why are you so stubborn!"
"Shut up and let me focus!"
I go quiet, watching him disappear from view, so I go over to the window.

It led into the back garden where there was an inbuilt pool...
Oh.
He jumps off and my soul leaves my body for a moment.
He lands in the pool, swimming up to the top and climbing out, looking at me.

"If you really care about helping him, you would follow me"
He says, and I felt a pain inside me.

Facist POV

I don't wait for her, I begin running into the woods and following the claw marks , broken trees and black feathers.
Where was he heading to?
I run faster, my heart thumping in my chest.

Soviet POV

I was awoken by shouting.
I sit up and groan.
Empire and Fascist arguing with each other, in what sounded like a panicked but annoyed tone.

I would've like to sleep in longer but I guess I can't do that neighbored by idiots, I should have known this if I'm honest.

I get up and out of bed, only in my trousers ad I exit the room, standing in my door way and listening to the shouts before they stop.
It was coming from Reichs room.
But I heard no Reich in the conversation.

I open the door and all I see is Empire half out of the window.
She looks to me, a little stunned at my appearance.
"What are you doing?"
I ask.
"Why would you care Commie?"
She snarkily says.

I look at the room.
What the fuck happened here-?
Before Reich broke the agreement, he did act a little weird, trying to hide scratches on his arms, etc...
He would never let anyone in his office unless it was his leader.
Was it something to do with that?

As I think, Empire disappeared out of the window, screeching.
I look out the window, she has landed in a pool of water , scrambling out and running off into the woods, following a trail of broken stuff, scratches and feathers..
Something happened to Reich?
A part of me whines to follow them.
I sigh, rubbing my face before jumping out the window and landing in the water, getting out of it and following Empire.

Why did I care all of a sudden?
