The Tapes

"Boy it's time to finish the deal." Britain said as America who carried Erick on his shoulders.

"Let's go America! PUT ME DOWN!" Erick shouted as both his legs and worsted were bound together, even if he was put down how was he going to get away? "This is fucking kidnapping!"

His yelling was unheard by America or Britain. But France was annoyed so he shoved a rag into the boy's mouth keeping it shut. Erick pounded on America's back using his bounded up hands. He hit a spot that forced the American to drop him to the ground rubbing his shoulders. Erick tried to get up, and at that moment the helicopter had arrived. He felt himself getting picked up again and thrown to the flying machine. The three big countries got in and America told the English drive to go to Germany.

The rag was pulled out of his mouth and Britain pulled out his gun and dared him to say another word. Erick put on a calm face but inside he was panicking. The ride was smooth just how the three countries like it.

(Courtney's POV)

I hid behind the big statue of a god. How can this situation be this bad? I woke up due to Choco's hissing and now I am hiding for my life. Third and G.E is at the church. Why are they at the church this late? They knew I came back to Germany and now they are hunting for me. At least it's not Prussia, he still scare the living light out of me, they were searching the place looking under chairs and everything.

Chocolate heard voices and went out to look, the feline spotted the familiar men walking to the church and she had to warn her owner. Choco jumped and hissed into Courtney's ears until it finally woken her up. The young girl looks out of the broken window and sees the two walking to the church where she is hiding. Courtney immediately packed up her things shoving the blankets into her endless backpack and the compass she has been keeping. Putting on her backpack Courtney grabbed Choco and tried to leave, but they didn't have enough time to leave the church so they had to hide behind the giant statue. The two German countries enter the church, Third has a suspicion she would be here, after all Courtney did tell him that she felt comfort in the church.

"Sohn, sie wird nicht hier sein." (Son, she won't be here.) G.E said as Third's eyes caught something on the ground, bending down to pick it up.

"Ich sage etwas anderes." (I say something different) Third showed it to his father. It was a blade that the Soviet gifted to her on her 14'th birthday, the end has the communist symbol on the red ribbon. "Erkennen Sie diesen Vater?" (Do you recognize this father?)

Courntey checked her pockets and she went cold, the knife that the Soviet gifted her. She must have dropped it and not heard it.

"Courtney, we know you are here!" She heard Third shout as the country started to look around. "Come on, why hide from me? We used to act like"siblings" , remember that?"

Courtney never felt so much fear from Third siblings, she had a talk with Weimar and knew what happened after she was pulled into that portal. Siblings don't get off to kill one another, that's just wrong. Courtney needs to get out of here, she sunk down to the ground and hugged Choco tight, making the cat hiss a little. That noise wasn't ignored by G.E as he heard it from the big statue, as his song was looking through rooms, the empire carefully walked to the stage and looked behind the statue. Then he saw Courtney trembling as she was nearly squeezing Choco to death, G.E stared at her before breaking the silence.

"Don't kill ze cat, vur huuging it too hard." Courtney jumped a little releasing Chocolate, she backed away from G.E who seems taller now.

"S-stay away, not another step." Courntey shivered as the winter air hit her.

G.E put his hands up with the blade still in his hands, but his eyes glued on her. "Everyone vanted to zee vu back home."

"I-I-I can't go- you guys are going to force me back to my world again." Courntey said her voice came out loud, but right now she doesn't care. "I know France, Britain and America's plan, I am not going back, I need to find my past."

"Vur past or Vur parent's past?" G.E questioned, and the picture of her brother was seen again in her mind.

They killed Tommy (Been a while forgot if his name is even Tommy or Tom), he could have been her big brother, a real one, too. Tom could have been like 18 or 19, he was maybe born four years ago.

"I had a brother, Tommy and now he is gone, his past trapped here with my parent's." Courtney said "I am figuring everything out."

"Vait, years ago mein vater found a tape in his closet and we played it on old t.v." G.E explained "We played it and it showed us a very old recording, black and white video of a small kid vith hiz vater and the mother was not shown but ve all heard her voice."

"What was the boy's name?" Country asked "And where is the tape?"

"Prussia gave ze tape to I zink either R.E or A.H for safety." G.E thought, Courtney has a new mission, but she needs to get away.

Her mood suddenly changed and she slowly started to back away. "Alright um it's really nice to chat with you again G.E, but wow it's cold here I think you should go home and brew a cup of hot chocolate." Courtney's back bumped into what seems to feel like a wall, but as she turned around it wasn't a wall.

The familiar history black suit with the iron cross and the red band around the sleeves already tell's Courtney who it is. She doesn't even need to look up to know it's Third, the one she used to play hide and seek with, the one of the country that tried to save her from leaving. Now he's a killer that killed thousands, heck even millions.
