Endless Grief |Book 2| ❤(Countryhumans) ❤

Back...Home

Without any time for me to react, Third wrapped his arms around me and picked me up. Of course he was way taller than me so my feet dangled in the air. I tried to slip out of his grasp but he was holding me very very tight. I tried to kick him but I was already out of energy and cold, very cold. Choco jumped out of nowhere and landed beside Third and hissed at him, but G.E picked her up and kept a distance from her as Choco tried to bite or scratch him.

"Dang cats." Third snared looking at choco before looking down at me. "Let's go home, it's cold here and I am sure Britain would be happy to see you are safe."

That's right they are going to return me home, before I would have liked that, now....I want to have as much time as I can to figure things out. If another 20 years passes then, I think most of them won't rmember about the tapes or heck even me. I used up my last bit of energy to get out but it was no use. We went out of the church and the cold kept me up, it was a long walk and Third doesn't seem to mind carrying me. The weather is freezing but Third body heat warmed me a bit but it was enough. Without knowing I dozed off in Third's arms, my body got used to the cold quicker than I thought.

"Wake up~ we have arrived." I heard Third's voice say in my ears.

Slowly I started to wake up as Third started to carry me to his house and opens the door with his foot. He sets me down blocking the entrance so I won't leave. Third only entered once G.E came in, Third locked the doors and told me that all the windows and the back doors are now locked.

"You should get some sleep, tomorrow you'll wake up to find your Christmas gift." Third, laughing darkly, my body started to tremble. "Anyway, America would be here like tomorrow morning, or maybe the afternoon."

"I thought the Axis were against the allies?" I asked, they teamed up, but that never happened in history?

"Me and that Tea drinker country made a deal." Third said as G.E handed me Choco and excused himself to bed, I was getting a bit tired as well, I was.

Third walked me to the room I stayed in last time, and everything was the same, the bed, the closet and the creepy bathroom. Memories came back into my head, both the good and bad times. I remember jumping out the windows and the look on Rectangle's face is just priceless.

"Good night." I heard the door shut behind me, I turned my body around running to now the locked door.

"Third, open the door! You can't make me go back, you can't!" My yelling was unheard, my throat was sore from my screaming and I sat behind my bed on the floor.

I took out my phone to try to call Erick, but it went straight to voicemail. I chucked the thing on the bed before hugging my knees. Then I heard the door open, I looked at the door. The figure was dark but I could never get wrong with the rectangle shape. He stepped in and I ran to him and tackled him with a bear hug. More like a cub's hug, Rectangle is taller than I remembered. Now my height only reached to his waist, last time I was to his chest.

His arms wrapped around me embracing me. Smoothing out my hair and patting my head, me and Rectangle have a strong relationship.

"They are going to bring me back right?" I whispered into his clothes. "And when I come back again everything will change and I'll know who dies."

"I don't know about the future, you might know." Rectangle spoke, for months I haven't heard his voice. "But why would you want to stay in this timeline, it's a bloody war."

"So I can stay with you all till your time has come." I said which wasn't a lie. "I missed so much, and I still need to figure out my family trees and deal with uncovering secrets."

"What secrets?" Rectangle asked

I can trust him right? I should trust him the most right now.

"I learned I had a brother, Tom or Tommy they called him." I said "He was just like me, not gray, no flags the same as my parents."

"Had?" Rectangle asked again tilting his head as I led him to the bed.

"Yeah... he was killed here." I remember the picture of everyone threatening him in the black and white photo. "I don't think at this exact place, but definitely in the past timeline."

"That doesn't make sense." Rectangle through it over "If your family had your older brother like way before they shouldn't live that long to have you."

I thought about it only for a bit before locking in my conclusion.

"Time trackers, my parents are time travelers and maybe world jumpers also." I figured it out, maybe "They're maybe just like me, I am from the future but I went back in time and I jumped through worlds!"

I rumbled through my backpack as Choco went under the blankets. Where is the picture of my whole family? Every time I sleep 50% of the chance I get a piece of a picture. The voices of my parents, and voices of unknown people. I felt the piece of paper on my fingers and I took it out.

"Have you in your whole life seen these two?" I shined a light on the photograph of my family. Rectangle was going through these thoughts trying to remember where he saw the man and woman. "I know it's hard but I need you to think harder."

"Wait, stay here." Rectangle said and went out the door.

I picked up the photograph, the only image of my whole family, and the stopwatch. I have never seen my mother owning a stopwatch, and it seems broken as well from the start. The door opened again.

"This, I have this tape that shows a recording of that man and a young boy named Tom." Rectangle handing me the tape. "I don't know if they are your family."

"Is there any way I can play it?" I asked and Rectangle only said I need to go downstairs for that. "Never mind it's already late, good night Rectangle."

"Good night to you too, Courtney."
